Nanny Qian followed behind and consciously dismissed the servants. She carefully closed the door and windows and quickly poured another cup of warm tea, handing it to Madam Yao to calm her down.

Madam Yao was furious. She took the teacup and brought it to her mouth, but she couldn’t even drink the tea. With a clang, she placed it back heavily.

“You’ve really grown a temper. You’re even making a fuss with me. I was pregnant for ten months and worked so hard to give birth to her. How can I not hope for the best for her and harm her instead?”

Nanny Qian opened her mouth, wanting to persuade her, but before she could say anything—

Madam Yao suddenly raised her voice and said angrily, “You’re already so old, but you’re still so insensible. All you know is to laugh and play all day. How can you be as demure as a woman? It wasn’t easy for me to hire a powerful nanny from the Yi Kun Palace into the residence and let her learn the rules well. It’s for her own good, but she’s still making a fuss with me?!”

Nanny Qian quickly said, “The rules in the palace are strict, and the nanny is a little strict. Second Miss has never suffered like this before and feels aggrieved. You…”

A nanny’s upbringing was very strict. How could ordinary people tolerate it?

Second Miss was not like the Eldest Miss, who could endure grievances and bitterness. She had been pampered since she was young. After a few days, she couldn’t take it anymore and caused a commotion, making Madam furious.

The mother and daughter had a big fight.

How could Madam Yao listen to Nanny Qian’s advice? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She interrupted Nanny Qian and said, “She even said righteously that her Eldest Sister has been conferred the title of Eldest Princess. All the daughters of the Yu Clan are proud. Who dares to underestimate the upbringing of our residence?”

“She even said that she had been taught rules and etiquette by Yu Youyao in the past. In the past two years, when she walked around the capital, she didn’t do anything rude! She didn’t need to learn the rules from a nanny anymore.”

Nanny Qian lowered her head. Second Miss was naive and innocent, unlike ordinary young misses who were gentle and quiet. However, there was indeed nothing wrong with her etiquette and rules.

When Eldest Miss was in the residence, she took very good care of the young misses in the residence. She did indeed provide a lot of guidance on ordinary etiquette and rules. Not only did she teach Second Miss, but also Fifth Miss and Sixth Miss, two young misses born of concubines. They were all one in a hundred in terms of etiquette. When others saw them, they would praise them.

She looked at Fifth Miss and Sixth Miss. Their futures would not be bad.

However, Nanny Qian did not dare to say this.

Wasn’t this adding fuel to the fire?!

“Do you hear what she said?” Madam Yao’s eyes turned red with anger. She felt that her daughter did not take her, her mother, seriously. “When did Yu Youyao, a half-grown girl, become better at raising people than me, her mother?”

“Since when was I inferior to a bereaved eldest daughter like Yu Youyao in her heart?”

“She didn’t even think about it. As the daughter of the Grand Secretary, how could she count on Yu Youyao and benefit from her?”

“We’re all sisters of the same family. Her limelight has been stolen, but she’s still clapping for and praising Yu Youyao. Why did I raise such a silly roe deer?!”

Nanny Qian sighed inwardly. She understood Second Madam’s feelings.

Eldest Miss was originally the eldest daughter of a bereaved wife. Even though Auntie Xu had raised her to have a good demeanor and reputation. However, her status was still inferior to Second Miss’s.

Although Madam felt uncomfortable, there was no need to cause trouble and make the Matriarch unhappy.

However, after the Matriarch passed away, Eldest Miss had been conferred the title of Princess. Now, she had also been conferred the title of Eldest Princess. Not only had her status surpassed Second Miss, but she had also surpassed Second Madam herself.

In the past, Yu Youyao had been humble and fawning in front of Second Madam, but now, Yu Youyao had become the Eldest Princess, who they had to bow when they met in the future. It was inevitable that Second Madam would feel a little unbalanced.

In addition, Second Madam had also found out that Second Master was infatuated with Eldest Sister-in-Law. She suspected that Old Madam had deliberately schemed for her marriage and hated Matriarch and First Madam Xie to the core.

Even the Elder Miss was implicated.

Seeing that Yu Youyao had gained power, she couldn’t help but feel resentful. She could only torture Second Miss, wanting her to surpass Eldest Miss in terms of rules and etiquette.

The more Madam Yao thought about it, the angrier she became. “Listen, what did everyone say? They said that Yu Youyao has been following Old Madam since she was young. Not only does she have a Bodhisattva’s heart, but she’s also a rare virtuous woman. Not only are her younger siblings inferior to her, but even the other noble ladies in the capital are inferior to her. When did a bereaved eldest daughter actually surpass her parents’ meticulous upbringing in terms of reputation?!”

She was just short of saying that Shuangbai was inferior to Yu Youyao.

However, as the daughter of the Grand Secretary, how was Yu Shuangbai inferior to Yu Youyao? Why should outsiders support and step on her?

It was really infuriating.

Nanny Qian quickly advised, “Second Master also has political enemies in the court. With Second Master mourning at home, outsiders have to pay more attention to him. It’s inevitable that they’ll gossip a little. No one dares to really gossip. Second Miss has gained a lot of reputation when she was outside in the past. Don’t worry. These words won’t affect Second Miss’s reputation.”

However, Madam Yao did not think so. She felt that outsiders were deliberately stepping on Shuangbai and praising Yu Youyao. She was furious. “The nanny in the Empress’s palace is not inferior to Auntie Xu in the past. I originally hoped that she would learn some rules and spread a good reputation outside. After mourning for the Matriarch for a year, I’ll prepare to find someone for her.’

At this point, she was even angrier.

“Meanwhile, she’s been learning for only a few days, but she’s already complaining that she’s tired. She said that her Eldest Sister won’t force her to learn the rules, and that her Eldest Sister has never scolded her. Even if she did something wrong, she’ll use her own method to let her understand what she did wrong, what the consequences will be, how to correct it, and what benefits there are after correcting it…”

As a mother, she had become a bad person while disciplining her daughter.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have been so scrupulous and worried about the Old Madam back then. She had given all the benefits to Yu Youyao and had always allowed Shuangbai to interact with the main family.

Madam Yao was furious. She recalled that she had been married into the Yu Residence for more than ten years. Her husband was distant, and her daughter did not dote on her. She suddenly felt a surge of resentment, and her eyes turned red. “Why is my life so bitter?!”

However, Nanny Qian felt that Second Madam had gone too far.

In the entire capital, which Madam didn’t have a mother-in-law who set the rules after getting married? There were also a group of concubines in the courtyard who were scheming to seize power…

Just as she was about to persuade her, there was a knock on the door.

Madam Yao was angry, but she still suppressed her anger. “What is it?”

Cai Wei’s careful voice came from outside the door. “Madam, Eldest Madam

Jiang of the first branch has sent someone over to ask. She said the Imperial Court has conferred the Eldest Miss of the residence with the title of Eldest Princess Shaoyi. This is a huge matter that will bring glory to our ancestors.

The family has to put on an act..”
