Chapter 28 Don't Be Unreasonable
How was your day?
As soon as he asked the question, Du Ziheng nearly bit off his own tongue.
Wasn't he here to demand an explanation?
But the topic had already been steered off course, and he didn't forcefully pull it back.
Yu Zhiyi truthfully replied, "I visited the gold shop and Taixing Restaurant, and also took some time to visit the estate outside the city. The new manager of the gold shop is very capable and reliable. Business at Taixing Restaurant is going well, and the crops on the estate are growing well; we're sure to have a bumper harvest this year."
"Oh...you've worked hard, get some rest."
After Du Ziheng finished speaking, he turned and left.
Yu Zhiyi and Zi Yuan were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Even though Yu Zhiyi had eyes that could see through good and evil and cause and effect, she was confused at this moment: "What exactly is he here for?"
Yu Zhiyi quickly figured it out.
Du Ziheng was a man of integrity. Although he had two maids by his side, they were ordinary servants and had never done the work of a concubine.
Yu Pan'er's antics today were clearly unbearable for him.
Yu Pan'er is Yu Zhiyi's person, so if a dog makes a mistake, it's naturally the owner's fault for not disciplining the animal properly.
"Never mind him."
Yu Zhiyi didn't take it to heart.
She still has some use for Yu Pan'er, so she can't get rid of her for the time being.
However, as the matriarch, she couldn't simply ignore the restless people under her, otherwise Madam Yao would be the first to become dissatisfied.
"Tell Aunt Wen to make Yu Pan'er kneel for three hours to teach her a lesson and remind her of her place."
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
After lying in bed for nearly ten days, You Bingyue was finally able to get out of bed and move around.
Then, he learned that Yu Pan'er had seduced Du Ziheng.
Although she failed to seduce him, how could she, a dignified modern-day queen of the night, tolerate a vile woman coveting her man?
Yu Zhiyi is one thing, she's a young lady from a wealthy family, and she even went through a wedding ceremony with Du Ziheng.
But what kind of person is this Yu Pan'er?!
She immediately went and killed him.
At that time, Yu Pan'er was learning abacus.
Ever since Aunt Wen brought her back, she has become much more obedient.
Although she still harbored thoughts of rising to a higher position, Aunt Wen kept a close watch on her, preventing her from leaving the house. So she could only patiently continue studying.
As she wrote, she secretly tortured Aunt Wen with her eyes.
Just you wait, old woman. Once I gain favor, the first thing I'll do is settle accounts with you!
After finally finishing writing a piece of calligraphy, she took it to show her female teacher. Although the teacher was not very satisfied, it was already the best piece of calligraphy that Yu Pan'er had written, so she didn't say anything more and let her rest for a quarter of an hour.
Yu Pan'er, having gained a brief moment of freedom, hurriedly ran towards the outhouse.
She was suffocating!
Before they even reached the outhouse, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
"You bitch, you dare steal my man! You're asking for it!"
You Bingyue grabbed Yu Pan'er by the neck, and with her other hand, she slapped her left and right, making a very loud slapping sound.
After hitting her more than twenty times, until both of Yu Pan'er's cheeks were swollen high and blood was spilling from her mouth, You Bingyue threw her to the ground: "What kind of trash dares to covet my man? Since your master doesn't care about you, I'll teach you a lesson for her!"
“I’m warning you, Du Ziheng is my man, and no one but me is allowed to lay a finger on him.”
"If you still dare to have any improper thoughts, next time it won't be as simple as just being slapped in the face."
Leaving behind a death threat, You Bingyue turned and left expressionlessly.
Standing there, Yu Pan'er touched her swollen face. She didn't need a mirror to know her face was ruined; she screamed in despair, "Aaaaaah!!"
The cries attracted the patrolling guards, who were astonished to see a girl dressed as a maidservant beaten until her head was swollen like a pig's head. They quickly reported the incident to Madam Yao and Yu Zhiyi.
Even though Yu Zhiyi had already foreseen that Yu Pan'er would be punished, she was still shocked when she actually saw her miserable state.
What a cruel attack.
"Madam, young madam, that Miss You is a madwoman! I didn't offend her, but she came up and beat me up! Please, you must do justice for me!"
Madam Yao was furious: "Rebellion! Rebellion! This is outrageous! Guards, seize that woman!"
Du Ziheng is resting in the Moon-Viewing Pavilion.
Yu Bingyue returned refreshed after beating the person, and she learned from the servants that he hadn't even given that bitch a second glance. She felt incredibly sweet and went over to lie on top of Du Ziheng.
These days, You Bingyue has been injured, and Du Ziheng has been concerned about her health, so he hasn't dared to do anything out of line.
With the beauty in his arms, he didn't care whether it was day or night, and let her take off his clothes.
Just as the two were about to consummate their relationship, Du Lin's panicked voice rang out: "It's terrible, young master! Madam has sent someone to invite Miss You over! I heard that Madam is very angry right now."
Du Ziheng frowned: "We've only had a few days of peace, why is Mother starting to cause trouble again?"
Bingyue's body has just recovered!
He frowned: "Tell Mother that Bingyue is not well yet. We should talk about it after she recovers."
The guards who came to arrest him obviously dared not disobey Du Ziheng's orders and could only report back to Madam Yao.
Madam Yao was furious: "You unfilial son! This unfilial son! I'll see how long he's going to protect that woman!"
"Let's go to the Moon-Viewing Pavilion!"
Yu Zhiyi quickly patted Yao's back to comfort her, "Mother, calm down, calm down..."
Yao held her hand: "You're just too soft-hearted. Even when that woman is riding roughshod over you, you don't get angry."
"I know you're worried about Ziheng, but I don't need to. I want to see if he's really willing to throw away all the rules for that woman!"
Yu Zhiyi thought to herself that it wasn't that she was worried about Du Ziheng, but that she wasn't really that angry.
If it weren't for You Bingyue repeatedly causing her trouble, she would have been quite happy to see them being affectionate.
Before long, the group arrived at the Moon Viewing Pavilion.
By then, Du Ziheng and his companion were already dressed.
Although the two were furious, they were temporarily suppressed because Yao had just sent someone to cause trouble.
Seeing that Madam Yao had come to find him in person, Du Ziheng was somewhat displeased: "Mother, why are you making trouble for Bingyue again? She's been very well-behaved lately, and she's just recovered from a serious illness. Can you please stop targeting her all the time?"
She then looked at Yu Zhiyi with dissatisfaction: "Mother is old and in poor health. She shouldn't get angry all the time. Why don't you try to persuade her?"
Yu Zhiyi was unjustly accused, but there was no anger in her eyes; she just found it funny.
Whenever this person is in front of You Bingyue, it's as if he loses his mind and values.
Does love really turn people into idiots?
horrible.
Indeed, her devotion to Tao was correct.
"You know that Mother is not in good health and should not get angry, so why did you still provoke her to such a state?"
Du Ziheng choked, realizing his own words had backfired. "I didn't. I just didn't want to cause any more trouble in the manor. Can you please stop being so unreasonable like Mother?"
If those guards were just there to politely greet his lover, he would naturally be more than happy to accept it.
After all, he dreamed of Yao Shi and You Bingyue getting along harmoniously.
But those guards were clearly up to no good; he would be a fool to let You Bingyue, who was just recovering from serious injuries, pass by.
Ms. Yao was furious: "How dare you say I'm being unreasonable?!"
Yu Zhiyi said with a mocking smile, "You mean Miss You is still sick?"
