Chapter 1992: Chapter 1992: How Can You Listen?

Old Madam Yue’s words were not yet finished when she heard Yue Tianhao’s voice resounding beside her own ear.

She furrowed her brows and turned to look behind her at Yue Tianhao, who was a head shorter than Yue Chushui, and took a deep breath.

"Tianhao, do you think this matter is your elder brother framing your mother?" she asked.

"Of course, it’s the elder brother who has wrongly accused mother."

Yue Tianhao didn’t even think before he blurted it out, glaring angrily at Yue Chushui as if he had framed Luo Mianyi, as if he were utterly unforgivable.

"Grandmother, you know, ever since elder brother came back home, he’s been opposing mother, causing all sorts of difficulties for Second Brother and me. Now that he’s gained some clout outside, he’s even more fearless, trying to have mother killed so he himself can usurp Second Brother’s place as the heir apparent of the Yue Family."

It must be so; Yue Chushui must have seen that Second Brother was the favored heir apparent in everyone’s hearts, and so he thought to kill mother first, then Second Brother.

Once he had killed the two of them, then it would be his turn.

"Hao’er, stop talking."

Yue Tianze, standing to the side, listening to his third brother’s words, was truly embarrassed to the extreme.

How could he say that elder brother has always made things difficult for mother and him? Yue Chushui didn’t even wish to pay any attention to them, right?

If mother hadn’t repeatedly bullied them, why would elder brother bother taking issue with them?

Just like this time, if this matter weren’t mother’s doing, would grandmother have come? Grandmother is not someone who would frivolously accuse mother just because she believed elder brother’s words!

Otherwise, if she hadn’t been managing the family affairs for all these years, the household would have already fallen into disarray.

"Why shouldn’t I speak!"

Yue Tianhao glanced sideways at his second brother, his frown deepening with displeasure.

"Second Brother, didn’t mother tell you long ago that elder brother isn’t close to us? In the future, it’s just us two brothers who are close. As for elder brother, wherever he wishes to go, we needn’t bother about him... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped across the face by Old Madam Yue, who had listened until she was extremely angry.

Only then did Yue Tianhao realize what he had said. He was so frightened that he covered his face and stepped back, looking timidly at his grandmother.

"Grand... Grandmother..."

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a chill run from the soles of his feet up to his forehead.

"You evil curse, you really dare to say anything!" Old Madam Yue was furious, pointing a finger at Yue Tianhao, so angry she wanted to slap him a few more times to vent her anger for her eldest grandson.

However, she also knew that Yue Tianhao was just a child in the end, what did he know.

He just knew to do whatever his mother taught him to do.

That woman, Luo Mianyi, she thought that it was fine to be unkind to Yue Chushui, someone who was not her own son, but she didn’t realize that she was actually harming her own biological son.

Given Yue Tianhao’s current words, it was fortunate that this was only said at home. If he were to say such things outside, what would become of the Yue Family’s family reputation?

"Grandmother, Third Brother knows he’s wrong. From now on, Ze’er will teach him properly, and I will make sure he no longer says such things, or even thinks such thoughts," Yue Tianze said, seeing that his grandmother was angry. He quickly stepped forward, pulled his brother beside him, and respectfully spoke to Old Madam Yue.

Then, he turned his head towards Yue Tianhao and sternly educated him.

"Hao’er, mother may have said this, but second brother has also taught you that you should only listen to what mother says when appropriate, but not take everything to heart. How could you listen to mother’s words about distancing yourself from elder brother?"
