Chapter 101 You're so picky, you must have been a needle in your past life!
Hongluan has a different opinion.
“There is a difference between retiring at the peak and giving up halfway. If I struggled for a year at the level of a low-level embroiderer and failed to achieve anything, then resigning under such circumstances would indeed be a lack of perseverance and willpower.”
“But I am now a top-notch embroiderer, and a top-notch embroiderer at Jinxiufang. I have reached the pinnacle in this industry. If my father wants to teach me a lesson, he will have to first find someone with better embroidery skills and a more renowned chef than me.”
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
That's a novel way of putting it.
Throughout history, people have always believed in the importance of consistency and adherence to one's principles.
Whether it's a future partner or the industry they work in.
Whether it's a partner or a job, unless you can't make it in this industry anymore, no one will give up halfway.
The concept of "Red Phoenix" is undoubtedly out of step with the times.
Yu Zhiyi, however, felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Why should a person be bound to a person or a thing?
If your partner is unsuitable, your job is unsatisfactory, or your employer is unreasonable, why should you be forced to passively wait for them to make things difficult for you or fire you, instead of choosing to leave in anger?
“Okay, I support you.” Yu Zhiyi smiled slightly: “If you have something you want to do in the future, feel free to do it. I will also learn to take over the things here and will definitely not hold you back.”
Hongluan clapped her hands and laughed: "As expected of my sister!"
He immediately said, "Don't worry, even if I have to leave in the future, I will never suddenly quit. I will arrange everything properly."
"Just like at Jinxiufang, I will train the next top embroiderer before I completely let go."
Yu Zhiyi nodded.
Hongluan is managing the charity very well, and Yu Zhiyi has a general understanding of its progress.
After leaving the charity, Yu Zhiyi decided to take a walk on the street to clear her head and see if she could run into two kindred spirits.
What can relieve my worries? Only a surge in my cultivation level.
As I walked to the entrance of a shop, a basin of dirty water suddenly fell from the sky.
Even though Yu Zhiyi reacted quickly and dodged in time, her skirt was still soiled.
Li Rou was in an even worse state; half of her body was soaked with dirty water, her clothes hung wetly on her body, and she reeked of an unbearable stench.
Yu Zhiyi's expression darkened, and she looked up.
"Yu Jiaojiao, have you gone mad?"
That's right, the person who stood on the rooftop throwing dirty water was Yu Jiaojiao.
This is a restaurant, and the thing restaurants have no shortage of is swill.
That bucket of swill was what Yu Jiaojiao ordered her servants to pour down.
"You're the crazy one!"
Yu Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with intense hatred: "Yu Zhiyi, you little bitch, you caused my father to be dismissed from his post and our whole family to become a laughing stock. Are you happy now?"
It was lunchtime, and the streets were bustling with people. Seeing the excitement, the crowd quickly gathered, searching for the best spot to watch the spectacle.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that the main characters in this farce were actually the legendary real and fake heiresses, and they became even more engrossed in watching the drama unfold.
They not only enjoyed the gossip themselves, but also invited their friends to join them.
When they encounter relatives or friends who are not well-informed, they will vividly explain to them how, seventeen years ago, the mother of the fake heiress was greedy and maliciously switched the daughters of two families in order to give her daughter a better life. They also described how she mistreated the real heiress, making her suffer in the countryside for ten years, and how the fake heiress lived a life of tyranny and power in the Yu family for ten years.
"So, this fake heiress not only stole ten years of good life from the real heiress, but also shamelessly stayed at the Yu residence after her identity was exposed, and even used tricks to target the real heiress, trying to steal the affection that belonged to her?"
Those unaware of the inside story were stunned: "How could there be such a vicious person!"
Some people expressed doubt: "Really? She was only ten years old at the time, how could she have such cunning?"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately said, "How could that not be? As the old saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. With a mother who has such a wicked mind, what kind of good person can she be?"
As Yu Jiaojiao listened to the whispers around her, her eyes grew even more crazed: "Everyone is right. This woman not only stole ten years of my life, but she also targeted me a lot when she was in the mansion. One year, she even almost killed me."
“I tolerated all of these things, after all, I can understand her feelings of imbalance.”
"But she shouldn't have done anything, absolutely shouldn't have caused my father to lose his official position!"
"Because of her, my whole family is now in tears. A high-ranking official of the third rank has been demoted to a commoner overnight!"
Her eyes were filled with resentment: "Yu Zhiyi, even though my parents have neglected you all these years, at least they haven't mistreated you. They've even been planning your marriage carefully!"
"Otherwise, with your status, how could you possibly have married into the Prime Minister's household!"
"Even though your parents were disappointed in you, they never forgot to plan for your future. But what about you? You've made all of your father's hard work go to waste. Are you even human? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
The onlookers, unaware of the situation, and the rumors about the real and fake heiresses, became quite a topic of conversation in Beijing.
Now that it has been brought up again, coupled with rumors such as "causing her adoptive father to be dismissed from his post" and "her adoptive father's family helped her marry into the prime minister's family," how can people remain calm?
He immediately looked at Yu Zhiyi with the eyes of someone looking at an ingrate, his words full of reproach, and some couldn't help but curse out loud: "What kind of beast is this!"
"Like mother, like daughter. Her mother was capable of switching daughters, so she turned around and sold her adoptive father's family. She's shameless!"
"Let's go protest at Prime Minister Du's door right now. I want to see if Prime Minister Du and his men will still want her as their daughter-in-law after they see her true colors!"
As Yu Jiaojiao listened to the crowd's excited and angry shouts, and heard that they wanted to protest at the Prime Minister's residence, a crazy smugness flashed in her eyes.
Yu Zhiyi, if I can't live well, you can forget about living well either!
From the time Yu Jiaojiao launched her attack to the time Yu Zhiyi was condemned by everyone, not much time had actually passed.
Yu Jiaojiao only said a few words, but she aroused public anger.
Yu Zhiyi ignored the uninformed onlookers and looked at Yu Jiaojiao with a mocking gaze before slowly speaking.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it miraculously drowned out the angry voices around her.
"With your pickiness, were you a needle in your past life?"
"The things you slandered about me are because I really owe you ten years, and I'm willing to repay you, so I can't be bothered to argue with you."
"But you're blaming me for Minister Yu's dismissal... Do you really think His Majesty is blind and deaf to the voices of the people?"
A slight smile played on her lips, completely ignoring the disgusted voices that seemed to want to devour her.
He simply stared intently at Yu Jiaojiao and continued in a calm voice that everyone could hear, "I'm curious, you caused trouble last time, forcing Minister Yu to use his pardon to save your whole family's lives."
"This time, you deliberately twisted the truth. When His Majesty finds out, how will he punish you and how will he take his anger out on the Yu family?"
