Chapter 771: Arrogant and Domineering

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Before the people from the Jiazhou Residence could reach the Xie Residence, they received the news.

It was obvious that he had come with great fanfare.

“Go and look for Grandfather first. Tell him to wait in the residence in peace. Before the Jiazhou Residence comes, don’t make a move. When they reach, don’t let them into the residence. I’ll go over later.”

As soon as Chun Xiao left, Yu Youyao immediately returned to her room and changed her makeup. Only then did she bring Yin Shi and a few maidservants to the front.

There was a commotion outside the Xie Residence. The Jiazhou Residence had already arrived and started a commotion with the Xie Residence.

The Jiazhou Residence wanted to humbly apologise, making it hard for the Xie Residence to respond.

The situation was clearly disadvantageous to the Xie family.

When Old Madam Xie saw her coming over, she quickly lowered her voice and said, “Go back quickly. The Jiazhou Residence doesn’t have good intentions. Once you come out, won’t you be adding fuel to the fire? You don’t have to step in for this matter. Your grandfather knows how to deal with it. He definitely won’t let you suffer.”

However, Yu Youyao said, “Although Jia Changfeng brought what happened today on himself, if I break his limbs and poison him until he’s mute, it will make those who don’t know the truth think that I’m so cruel as a woman.’

“Besides, the Jiazhou Residence has made a big fuss along the way and everyone knows about it. They were announcing that I’m bullying others with my strength and being arrogant. If the Xie Residence protects me and ignores him privately, it’ll be justifiable for them to attack the Xie Residence.”

Jia Changfeng was indeed detestable.

However, how much better was Yu Youyao than Jia Changfeng?

In comparison, Jia Changfeng had his legs broken and was poisoned until he was mute. Meanwhile, she was still perfectly fine. Jia Changfeng failed to tease her. However, he who had been crippled, became the victim, and Yu Youyao had become the perpetrator.

What would others think?

Old Madam Xie was suddenly shocked. “The Jiazhou Residence reacted so quickly and brought Jia Changfeng to the Xie Residence, They wanted to push you and the Xie Residence to the forefront.”

Yu Youyao nodded.

Once Jia Changfeng succeeded, what she had reported to the Imperial Court would be considered deceiving the Emperor.

Old Madam Xie’s face turned pale. She held Yu Youyao’s hand. “In that case, you shouldn’t have come out even more. Listen to Grandmother and go back and stay first. Jia Changfeng has done many evil things. If the Jiazhou Residence doesn’t give the Xie Residence a way out, don’t blame us for being merciless and digging out everything one by one.”

Once the matter was exposed, the Jiazhou Residence would be in trouble.

Jia Changfeng was repaid with evil.

Yu Youyao was enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens.

Yu Youyao comforted her. “Don’t alert the enemy yet. If we force the Jiazhou

Residence too much, it’ll be disadvantageous to us. I’ll handle this matter.”

The most important thing now was not how to deal with them.

Instead, it was how to secretly evacuate Quanzhou under the nose of the Jiazhou Residence.

Old Madam Xie was a little worried, so Yu Youyao advised, “I’ll give it a try first. If I can’t send them away, it’s not too late to follow your method.”

In fact, such a matter could not be completely handled by the Xie Residence. Commoners are not able to fight officials. The scholars, farmers, merchants were the lowest ranks. The Xie Residence had been weak from the beginning, so things would instead go according to the Jiazhou Residence’s plan.

Only if she stepped in herself would there be a chance.

Only then did Old Madam Xie feel a little relieved.

Yu Youyao stepped out of the threshold and stood under the plaque of the Xie Residence. She stood quietly at the bottom of the steps of the Jiazhou Residence with an overbearing and arrogant posture.

The Jiazhou Prefecture’s governor was in his forties. He had raised a body of wealth, making him look big and round. He was wearing a dark purple official uniform and had a big belly. He was fat but not obese. He had a kind appearance and a pair of swollen eyes. When he narrowed them slightly, they became a crack. There was a glint in his eyes, making him look a little sinister.

He had a few servants behind him carrying a stretcher.

The person leaning against the stretcher was Jia Changfeng. At this moment, his face was pale and he looked pitiful. He was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before on the streets.

Many people gathered in front of the Xie Residence and pointed and discussed.

The noisy scene gradually quietened down when Yu Youyao appeared at the door all dressed up.

The County Head of Shaoyi was wearing a large pearl-green crown with gold and jade inlaid on it. Her head was covered in pearl-green jade, and she was wearing a large red sleeved dress. She looked graceful and n.o.ble. She had a purple embroidered phoenix robe with golden patterns on top of her dress. At her waist, there was a large red satin with phoenix embroidery that symbolized a n.o.ble family member. She exuded a n.o.ble and dignified aura.

This made all the commoners, who had never seen such a scene far away from the capital, speechless. The person in front of them was a true n.o.ble lady of the imperial family, so they could not comment.

For a moment, they all shut up.

They did not dare to say anything else.

The Jiazhou Residence head’s eyes flickered. He did not expect Yu Youyao to step in. He quickly said, “Greetings, County Head of Shaoyi. My son offended you in the restaurant. When 1 found out, I was uneasy, so I specially brought my son personally to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me. On account that my son has already been punished, please forgive me this time.”

Yu Youyao said calmly, “Lord Jia, you’re too polite. Lord Jia is an official of a prefecture. When I arrive in Quanzhou, 1 naturally have to do as the Romans do. I have to respect your hard work in managing the place and treat you with respect. Lord Jia, you’re flattering me by coming here personally.”

The Jiazhou Residence head hurriedly said, “Yes, it was my son’s inappropriate words that made the County Head unhappy. The County Head of Shaoyi was personally conferred the t.i.tle by the Emperor and has repeatedly been praised by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. I admire the County Head’s talent and reputation.Please forgive us for any disrespect.”

He looked like she was pretending to be humble, as if he, an official of a prefecture, would be afraid of her false reputation as the County Head.

He also mentioned that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager treated her very highly. In the ears of others, they thought that just because the Emperor and the Empress Dowager valued her, she was pampered, domineering, and bullied others. Even the dignified officials were afraid of her.

In the meaning between the lines, they were painting her to be arrogant and domineering.

The Jiazhou Residence head was really something!

Yu Youyao did not say anything else and only said, “Lord Jia is magnanimous.

I have to express my grat.i.tude for coming over personally to apologize. Since I’ve hurt his beloved son, 1 have to give him an explanation.” At this point, she turned to look at Xia Tao and instructed, “Xia Tao, tell me everything that happened at that time, in case Lord Jia and all the commoners present think that I’m arrogant and domineering.”

The most direct way to deal with such a person who had taken a detour and set a trap for others was to do it openly.

Xia Tao was proficient in ventriloquism and immediately explained everything that had happened after Young Miss left the Immortal Pavilion and met Jia Changfeng.

Including Jia Changfengs obscene words.

Lin Ruoru pointed out the ident.i.ty of the County Head of Shaoyi and warned Jia Changfeng.

Yu Youyao was polite and introduced her family, but Jia Changfeng still pretended to be crazy with alcohol..
