Even when she returned to her room, Third Miss Yang's face was still distorted, because all the servants of the Yang family had been trembling with fear and retreating away from her all the way, fearing that the unhappy Third Miss would take her anger out on them.
In fact, Miss Yang San has always been aloof at home, and in Yunnan. Because of her aloofness, she rarely bothers the servants, because in her eyes, even bothering the servants is a blasphemy to one's status and a degradation of one's own status. But how can the servants know when the nobles above will be picky? Therefore, it is always right to stay away from them.
The servants could avoid it, but Madam Yang noticed that something was wrong with her daughter. She frowned suspiciously, asked her daughter to sit down next to her, and handed her a bowl of soup. Seeing that her daughter took it but looked distracted, she raised her eyebrows.
The people below retreated with great understanding. Madam Yang coughed for a while and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Where have you been? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Miss Yang San put the bowl on the table with a bang.
Madam Yang looked at her indifferently, without saying a word, waiting for her daughter to speak.
Her face was burning under her mother's gaze. Miss Yang San finally couldn't help herself and choked up and said, "Mother lied to me, saying that the prince came to Kunming to appease the officials and the people, and to give some face to the officials like my father. Especially since my grandfather's family is a famous official in Shuzhong, the prince will definitely treat me differently..."
Madam Yang frowned tightly and listened patiently.
"But how can His Highness see my father? Even for Lord Liao, His Highness used both soft and hard tactics and didn't give him any face at all." Miss Yang San still felt resentful when she mentioned the last humiliation, especially when she saw Xiao Heng hovering outside Su Yaomen for a long time at night, which greatly stimulated her. She couldn't help but sob softly: "Mother always said that I am the best, and my future is not in this small Kunming, and she didn't let my grandmother find me... find someone, but His Highness doesn't like me at all!"
Speaking of this, Miss Yang San was no longer just sobbing quietly, she couldn't help crying out loud.
It's so unfair.
She had never suffered such injustice since she was a child.
Madam Yang had always been very kind to her daughter, and she rarely scolded her loudly. But at this moment, seeing her daughter crying like this, she was furious. She threw a handkerchief at her daughter and said angrily, "You useless thing! You keep talking back and forth, and you only know how to say whether you like it or not! I've already said that I will definitely make you get what you want, why are you still so impatient?!"
Miss Yang's eyes and nose were red from crying. She was not convinced by her mother's words. "It's easy for you to say that. Is His Highness someone who can listen to us? Why should we do that?"
Although she wanted to become the emperor's eldest grandson's consort, she was not that stupid and knew her family's status and position.
It would be fine if Xiao Heng liked it himself, but if Xiao Heng doesn't like it, can they force him
Madam Yang hated crybabies the most. She grew up in Shu and had cried a lot in her first half of her life. But she had a daughter who loved to cry. Sighing, Madam Yang shook her head and looked at her daughter: "You are a big child too. When have I ever lied to you? Whether His Highness likes her or not, according to you, His Highness likes Princess Su, isn't it?"
Yes, to be able to stand at someone's door for most of the day, what else could this be but love? Especially for someone of Xiao Heng's status and position.
His feelings for Su Yao were obvious to everyone.
Thinking of this, Miss Yang San became even sadder. She gritted her teeth and complained, "What's so good about that Su Yao?"
She looks fierce and doesn't look like a girl at all. If she didn't have a girl's hair in a bun and wear girl's clothes, her behavior would be no different from that of a man.
There are actually people who like this kind of person.
Even though Miss Yang San likes Xiao Heng, she has to think about whether Xiao Heng's eyes are not very good.
Madam Yang no longer expressed her opinion on the matter. She sighed, shook her head and said to her daughter, "I have my own ideas. Just don't worry about it. Go and have a good sleep first. Look at yourself. Don't get so dirty when the time comes."
Since her mother always said so, Miss Yang San always listened to her mother, so she stopped crying and turned back.
Madam Yang couldn't help but put down her bowl and chopsticks. She actually didn't feel like eating anymore. She rubbed her brows and snorted coldly: "I've taught you for so long, but you still can't keep your temper."
Nanny Yang came in and smiled when she heard this: "Madam, don't worry. The girl is still young after all."
Su Yao was younger, but look at how she acted. Madam Yang didn't say anything, but she still felt a little regretful in her heart. If Su Yao was her daughter, she wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to plan.
She shook her head and asked Madam Yang, "Have you inquired?"
She was talking about what happened to Su Yao last night.
Nanny Yang immediately replied, "To answer your question, I have already found out everything. Last night, County Lady Su tried Master Bai Qi, saying that she was going to use Master Bai Qi to catch a big fish or something, and she really caught one. The two generals were both Wei Desheng's former men, but County Lady Su herself was almost injured. It was Ji Family's eldest son Ji Yunting who rushed over to block the attack for the County Lady. The County Lady was fine, but he was seriously injured."
When talking about this, Mrs. Yang showed a little smile on her face.
She had seen it a long time ago. Ever since they had dinner together, she could see what the Ji family was thinking about Su Yao. The Ji family was a merchant family, and merchants were the ones who pursued fame and fortune the most. If they could marry a county lady, it would be a real stroke of luck for them.
Therefore, they would never dislike Su Yao's exposure like ordinary officials.
Now seeing that Ji Yunting is still so selfless, it is even more obvious that the Ji family is flocking to Su Yao.
That's good.
Madam Yang smiled without saying anything. She looked down at her hands and lazily ordered, "Go write a note to Madam Ji and tell her that I have something to discuss with her."
Nanny Yang quickly replied "yes", asked someone to come in and clean up the food, then turned around and went out to help Madam Yang with her work.
The room became quiet again. Light from outside shone through the window onto the ground. Madam Yang stood up and walked to the window. She stared at the banana tree outside the window in a daze for a moment, and then curled the corners of her mouth coldly.
Her daughter deserves the best future. Su Yao has no grudge against them, but blocking other people's way is already the biggest grudge.
She reached out and pulled the wooden board away, and the window snapped shut, blocking out the sunlight. After a while, Madam Yang heard some noise outside, and raised her eyebrows to look at the maid. The maid had already hurried out to see what was going on, and then quickly came back to report: "Madam, the master is back."
