Chapter 1226: Chapter 1046, Betting on People

Yan Yile was stunned, as were the other people present.

Daohua seldom lost her temper like this, let alone hit someone personally. At that moment, everyone present felt her rage.

Xiao Yeyang was also somewhat surprised. Seeing Daohua so annoyed and thinking about how his daughter nearly fell into the pond just now, his gaze towards Yan Yile suddenly became sharp.

Feeling his intense stare, Yan Yile shivered, but she quickly recovered and tears welled up in her eyes: "Big sister, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought Daozi and the others to the Lotus Pond. Please punish me."

Having fallen into the pond just now, Yan Yile was entirely drenched. Combined with her tearful appearance, she looked indescribably pitiful.

Unfortunately, no one cared about her in that state.

Daomang, the little girl, was still crying bitterly, causing Daohua’s heart to ache repeatedly, leaving her no mind to pay attention to Yan Yile. She quietly comforted her daughter and carried her back to the main courtyard.

Xiao Yeyang took Daomiao from the maid’s arms and also took Daozi, who seemed somewhat frightened, and followed Daohua and her daughter.

As the family-of-five left, the servants also dispersed. In just a moment, only Yan Yile and her two maids remained in front of the Lotus Pond.

The two maids quickly supported Yan Yile: "Miss, let’s hurry back and change your clothes."

Yan Yile let her maids help her leave with a pale face, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes. Thinking about Yan Yiyi’s almost threatening demeanor just now, anxiety appeared on her face.

Did big sister notice something?

No, that’s not possible. She went near the three children intentionally, and even second sister didn’t perceive anything amiss, right?

Today’s incident could at worst be her fault for bringing the three children to the Lotus Pond, but the subsequent events were just an accident. She wasn’t only faultless in the matter but also contributed by trying to rescue Daomang.

Having plunged into Lotus Pond in a self-sacrificing attempt to save Daomang proved it.

With these thoughts, Yan Yile’s face looked a bit better, but still shivering from being soaked all over.

...

"My child, what happened to you?"

When Yan Yile returned to the guest residence, the Sun Family, seeing her completely wet, exclaimed in shock.

Yan Yihuan, who came out a step behind, seeing her sister in such a state, felt a sudden dread and hurriedly stepped forward, anxiously asking, "What happened?"

Yan Yile glanced at her but didn’t speak; instead, the two maids beside her spoke up.

"The young lady fell into the water while trying to save the Princess Consort’s eldest daughter."

"Unfortunately, despite the good intentions, the Princess Consort blamed our young lady and hit her in public."

"Enough!"

Yan Yile interrupted the two maids and, looking at Yan Yihuan’s whitening face, said with a frown, "I need to change my clothes first."

The Sun Family, not fully understanding, hurriedly followed her into the room.

Yan Yihuan didn’t follow. She grabbed one maid and said coldly, "Tell me clearly what happened, what exactly went on?"

The maid, seeing Yan Yihuan’s frosty face, didn’t dare to conceal anything and quickly recounted the events.

After hearing everything, Yan Yihuan couldn’t help but sway slightly.

She knew her sister who had grown up together from childhood all too well; the incident in front of Lotus Pond was definitely not an accident.

What was Yile trying to do?

Falling into the water holding Daomang, and elder brother-in-law just happened to come back...

Yan Yihuan closed her eyes in anguish, never expecting Yile to harbor such intentions!

The elder sister slapped Yile in public...

Has she also figured out the true purpose of Yile?

Just then, a few burly old maids suddenly burst into the yard, led by Guyu.

Seeing the menacing Guyu and others advancing, Yan Yihuan’s heart skipped a beat, panic surfaced in her eyes, and just as she was about to speak, Guyu preempted: "Second Miss, the Princess Consort wants to see the Fourth Miss."

Yan Yihuan suppressed the panic in her heart, and forced a slight smile: "Does big sister have some matter with Yile?"

Guyu looked at Yan Yihuan, her face expressionless: "The Fourth Miss almost harmed my big miss, telling her to go ask her some questions isn’t going too far, right?"

Yan Yihuan instinctively retorted: "No, Yile would never do such a thing, you must have mistaken."

Guyu’s face darkened: "Whether it is a mistake or not, the Princess Consort will know after asking. Second Miss, please step aside, otherwise, I will have to offend you."

Yan Yihuan stood still, not moving; if Yile is really taken by these old maids to see big sister, how could she face anyone in the future? "Yile is still changing her clothes, I will accompany her to see big sister in a moment."

Guyu ceased to entangle and waved her hand, several old maids directly bypassed Yan Yihuan and rushed into the room.

Yan Yihuan stared blankly at this scene, incredulously looking at Guyu: "How dare you do this? Yile is still big sister’s younger sister after all."

Guyu’s expression unchanged: "Second Miss, forgive my presumptuous words, if the Princess Consort acknowledges her, then she is a sister; if the Princess Consort does not acknowledge her, then she is merely the daughter of a commoner."

"Moreover, Second Miss, you seem to have forgotten your own status too. The Princess Consort cherishes sisterly affection, but you also cannot take her kindness for granted."

"This time, the Fourth Miss has crossed the bottom line of the Princess Consort."

Seeing the firm attitude of Guyu, Yan Yihuan’s heart sank to the bottom; without the support of big sister, she would not dare to be so bold.

"Stop!"

"Who are these lowly maids? You are so bold. I am the Princess Consort’s second aunt, Yile is the Princess Consort’s sister, you all stop."

Two old maids were escorting Yan Yile out, Sun Family continuously roaring and obstructing, blocked by two other old maids.

Yan Yile had just changed her clothes, but had not yet had time to groom, being forcefully pushed by the two old maids, she was in extreme disarray, her face full of humiliation.

She guessed her petty big sister would erupt, but she never thought she would treat herself this way, not leaving her any dignity.

Guyu, seeing Yan Yile brought out, did not dawdle with Sun Family, and signaled the old maids to follow her to the main courtyard.

Sun Family, seeing Yan Yile being taken away like a criminal, immediately panicked: "You all stop, wait for me to see the Princess Consort, I will make sure she punish you all severely."

Yan Yihuan quickly stepped forward to support Sun Family: "Mother, don’t make a fuss, let’s quickly follow and see."

Sun Family regained her composure and quickly chased after Guyu and the others.

...

Main Courtyard.

Daomang had already been comforted by Daohua and stopped crying, but the little girl still lay in her mother’s arms sobbing intermittently, Xiao Yeyang looking at his daughter’s red eyes, his heart ached immensely.

Daozi sat on the little kang with his neck shrunk, holding his younger brother Daomiao in his arms.

Daomiao, having seen Daomang cry, cried a little too, and was now comforted; being quite perceptive, he sensed the displeased mood of his parents, didn’t cry or fuss, and obediently leaned against his brother.

Daozi’s emotions were much more complicated now, feeling guilt, thinking it was his bumping into the nursemaid that nearly led his younger sister falling into the pond.

At the same time, his heart was filled with confusion, not understanding why mother was so angry nor why she would strike the fourth aunt.

Upon hearing noises in the courtyard, Daohua handed her daughter to Xiao Yeyang and then went to Daozi: "You are about to turn seven, at the age where you should understand manners and discern situations."

"Watch carefully later how mother unveils the mask on your fourth aunt’s face, and then reassess what kind of person she is."

Having said that, she left the inner room and went to the outer room.

The inner room and outer room were connected, with only a few screens separating them. Daozi let his brother sit next to their father and sister, went near the screen, and carefully observed the situation in the outer room.
