Chapter 1133 When Soft Approaches Don't Work, Try Hard Approaches
What the hell is this "reciprocity" nonsense?
Even Madam Kang, whose attention was focused on Wang Jiayi, couldn't help but smile.
Everyone knows the truth about these things, but they're too proud to confront each other because of their positions.
Shu Yu had no such concerns. She said what they had always wanted to say but had been holding back, which was incredibly satisfying.
Yao An opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but when he looked up, he saw Shu Yu looking at him and smiling, as if she had ten or twenty unpleasant words waiting to be said back to him if he spoke.
This feeling made him wisely shut his mouth.
Even Yao Hong, who was standing next to him, was silenced by him when she tried to say something.
Shu Yu felt a little regretful that they didn't retaliate.
Fortunately, Yao An finally calmed down and was able to eat in peace.
Not long after lunch, Ying Xi brought Zhao Xi inside.
Madam Yao once again found an opportunity to send Yao An and his sister away, and the group went into the courtyard alone.
Yao Hong watched their retreating figures and kicked her foot. "Brother, listen to what she just said. Does she look like she'd marry you? If she marries into the Yao family, we'll never have a peaceful life."
Yao An frowned, trying to comfort his sister and himself, "But think about it, how much benefit can she bring us by marrying into our Yao family? She was right about one thing earlier: we didn't help our uncle when he was exiled, and we're afraid we won't be able to benefit from it now either. We've been here for over a month, and our uncle has been keeping us out of the loop by saying he's too busy. He hasn't even thought about finding me a job."
Yao Hong was still very angry, but she also understood that her brother made sense. She muttered to herself, "Dad also said that Uncle is weak and honest and doesn't know how to refuse. Yes, he didn't refuse, but he didn't care about us either. He just hoped that we would give up."
"Therefore, I am even more determined to marry Lu Shuyu. She will plead with Lord Qi and Lord Jing on my behalf. Why should we put up with the attitudes of our uncles and aunts?"
"That's true. The way my aunt looks at us, it's like we're some kind of leech, and the servants aren't doing their jobs well either. I've never suffered such humiliation in my life." Yao Hong snorted twice, then asked, "Brother, what do we do now?"
Yao An pondered, "If the soft approach doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to the hard one."
He instructed Yao Hong, "Keep an eye on them, I'm going out for a bit."
Before Yao Hong could ask him what he was doing outside, he had already disappeared.
She could only stomp her foot and lead the silent Wang Jiayi toward the Kang family's courtyard.
Unfortunately, they were stopped by Cai'er and Yingxi when they reached the courtyard gate.
She wasn't afraid of Cai'er, but Ying Xi had a cold expression on his face, so she didn't dare to barge in and could only peek in from the outside.
Zhao Xi had already finished taking Kang's pulse. He nodded slightly and said, "Her pulse is stable, there's nothing to worry about. But she should still try to think less and move around more in the courtyard."
Zhao Xi's words relieved both Madam Yao and Madam Kang.
After prescribing the medication to prevent miscarriage, Zhao Xi left.
As I was leaving, I asked Shuyu, "Are you coming or not?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "I'm waiting for Uncle Yao to come back. My dad asked me to give him a blueprint."
Madam Yao, who was standing nearby, said, "Why doesn't Ayu stay here today? She can stay at home for a few days."
Shu Yu just smiled; of course she wouldn't live here.
What she didn't expect was that Yao Tianqin would come back too late.
Shu Yu was being led by Madam Yao to finish dinner and prepare to go home when Yao Tianqin returned. Without saying a word, he invited her to the study.
