It was as if all the strength in Yu Qiutong's body was drained away. Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Finished!

Half an hour later, Yu Qiutong, with half of her face swollen and red, sat blankly on a stone bench in the yard, watching the servants moving away the valuable ornaments in the room.

All the servants in the yard went to the housekeeper, asking to be transferred to another yard.

In the end, only one person was left who had followed their wishes from the beginning.

A few servants moved the last Golden Lotus screen away, and the noise was so loud that it startled the sparrows that had landed on the tree.

With a chirping sound, the little sparrow flapped its wings and flew away.

Hearing the noise, Yu Qiutong looked up at the sky.

At this time, classes at the Imperial College have already started.

Clearly, before yesterday, she was the object of attention and envy of everyone in this mansion, as well as the sons and daughters of other officials in the capital.

Why did it turn out like this?

No, I can't give up like this!

Yu Qiutong stood up suddenly, ran to the room, and prepared to get her school bag.

Noticing her movements, Yunniang quickly grabbed her.

"Qiutong, what are you going to do?!"

Yu Qiutong slapped her hands hard.

"Mom, please let me go. Don't stop me. I want to go to the Imperial College!"

"I'm going to ask the little princess for help!"

The little princess is so kind and innocent, she will definitely forgive her if she begs a few more times.

When she returns to the Imperial College, she will still be a person that no one in this mansion dares to look down upon!

When the time comes, she will definitely teach these slaves who look down on others a lesson! "Miss, please don't do this. You can't make the master angry again!"

Yier held her tightly, kneeling on the ground and crying and begging.

"Get out of my way!"

Yu Qiutong kicked her hard and pushed her away.

“Bang!”

Yunniang was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly, her lips trembled, and her hands remained raised in the air.

"Wake up!"

"mother!"

Yu Qiutong covered her face in disbelief and was about to say something, but when she met those complicated eyes that were full of disappointment and heartache, her lips opened and closed and she couldn't say anything.

Yunniang took a few deep breaths and blinked to get rid of the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

"If we can't go, then we won't go. We'll just go back to the hard times we had before. Didn't we live well before? Why can't we do that now?!"

Yu Qiutong lowered her eyelids and muttered softly.

"How can it be the same?"

“Yo!”

A slightly harsh female voice reached the ears of the three people.

Yu Qiuyue, wearing a plain brocade cape with silver edges, and a blue and white skirt with silver thread trimmings on the collar and cuffs, walked in with her maids and servants.

After entering the yard, she looked around, then lowered her head in disgust and stamped her feet.

"Why don't you sweep the floor? My new shoes are wasted."

She fanned her nose with a handkerchief and spoke in a questioning tone.

"Sister, look at your yard and rooms. How come there is nothing left?"

"Don't be afraid, sister will help you, someone come here!"

She turned and gave instructions to the maid behind her.

"Didn't mother give me a new set of furniture yesterday? Please send the old furniture to my sister."

Hearing her words, Yu Qiutong gritted her teeth and her expression became very ugly.

Yunniang, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, because she had long been accustomed to the occasional sarcasm and ridicule from the mother and daughter, the eldest young master's wife.

The maid was very happy and replied with a smile:

"Miss, didn't you say you wanted to give those old furniture to the servants?"

Hearing this, Yu Qiuyue seemed to have just remembered this matter.

“I see.”

"There must be something you don't like, right?"

She waved her hand casually, "Move the rest over here!"

It would be fine if she gave him something she didn't want, but he actually sent something that even the maids disliked! Yu Qiutong couldn't help it anymore, so she rushed up and slapped Yu Qiuyue.

"Yu Qiuyue, don't go too far!"

But after all, given the height of the two, her nails only brushed the other person's chin.

"ah!"

Yu Qiuyue covered her chin and stepped back. She pulled the maid beside her and asked anxiously:

"How's my face? Is it broken?"

"Am I disfigured?!"

The two maids hurriedly comforted her in soft voice.

"Don't worry Miss, there are only a few red marks."

Yu Qiuyue pointed at Yu Qiutong and shouted at the maids and servants behind her.

"Teach her a lesson now!"

Several maids and servants rolled up their sleeves and surrounded them, while Yunniang and Yier protected Yu Qiutong behind them.

"Miss, Qiu Tong is still young. She didn't mean it. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Yu Qiuyue raised her chin slightly, looking very proud.

"Aunt Yun, apologizing is not just a matter of words."

Yunniang glanced at her daughter behind her, gritted her teeth, and slowly bent her knees.

"Mom, don't kneel to her!"

Yu Qiutong rushed over and grabbed her elbow, then looked at Yu Qiuyue with gritted teeth.

"Sister, you may have forgotten who was the first to offend the little princess yesterday!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Yu Qiuyue's eyes subconsciously became erratic and her expression was a little flustered.

“Shut up!”

Yu Qiutong stared at her closely, "If I tell my grandfather and father about this..."

"You dare!"

Yu Qiuyue pointed at her angrily.

Yu Qiutong pointed in the direction of the courtyard gate and threatened loudly.

"Get out of here with your people now. If you dare to cause trouble to us again in the future, you will never have an easy time!"

Anyway, she has been abandoned by the Yu family again, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but Yu Qiuyue is different.

For the first time, the little girl whom she had bullied for many years pointed at her and scolded her. Yu Qiuyue was furious, but she had the upper hand over her.

She was so angry that she swept the two plates of snacks on the table to the ground and stomped on them several times.

Still feeling unsatisfied, she looked up and pointed at a few sparrows chirping happily in the tree.

"They are making so much noise, why don't you chase them away?!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Several servants hurried to look for sticks.

Looking in the direction of Yu Qiutong and her daughter, she snorted coldly.

"A sparrow is a sparrow. Even if it flies to a branch, it can never become a phoenix!"

After saying that, she turned around and left angrily.

The Yu family was in chaos and it was very lively, but Chu Yaoyao didn't care about it.

She even didn't discover that one of her reading companions was missing until several days later.

But I didn't ask any further questions.

As time went by, Daqi and Xiyue fought again.

It's almost the end of the year.

Chu Yaoyao was not happy at all in her first New Year in this world.

Because my grandfather and three uncles were not in the capital, my mother was worried all day long.

Until this day, Emperor Qixuan walked into the gate of Qionghua Palace with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, my beloved, I have good news for you!"
