Favoring a concubine and destroying the wife? I'll abandon my husband and children and wipe out

When Granny Jiang returned to the kitchen, everyone around her gave her strange looks.

Holding her breath, Granny Jiang snapped, "What are you looking at? Have you finished all the work? Get back to work!"

An old woman who had long been at odds with her sneered, "We haven't finished our work yet, unlike you, Granny Jiang, who usually has so much time to frame the madam and even brings people to confront her directly!"

"You!" Granny Jiang rushed over and raised her hand, but was grabbed and thrown away.

"Do you still think you're the same person who can have the final say in the kitchen? Instead of wasting your time causing trouble, you should be thinking about how long you can stay in this position!"

"You have offended the madam today. Let's see what place you will have in this mansion from now on!"

Several people who had been bullied and oppressed by Granny Jiang for a long time spat out.

"As the old saying goes, one shouldn't do too many bad things, otherwise the wheel of fortune will turn and it will be their turn to suffer."

Granny Jiang trembled with rage. "I went to the madam to demand an explanation based on the facts, not without reason. I was misled, which is why the madam wouldn't hold it against me. But how dare you treat me like this! How dare you!"

The people in the kitchen just sneered, rolled their eyes, and went back to their work.

Granny Jiang couldn't swallow her anger and was about to rush forward and attack when someone from outside announced that Zhao Huaiyu had arrived and specifically wanted to see her.

She yelled, "Just you wait, I'll crush you all later!"

After saying that, he quickly walked out, not noticing the dismissive and mocking expressions on the faces of those people.

"Miss, what brings you here? Would you like some of my specialties?" Zhao Huaiyu was outside with her servants, and Granny Jiang approached her ingratiatingly.

There's clearly something wrong with what happened at Guantang Courtyard today. Madam isn't stupid; she'll definitely see it.

She has already offended the madam, and the old madam will probably be dissatisfied with her for not doing her job well. If she wants to live peacefully in the Zhao family, she has to please the other masters.

Zhao Huaiyu arrogantly raised his chin and coldly glanced at Granny Jiang. Despite his young age, he already possessed a great aura due to his pampered upbringing.

"You were the one who went to my mother's courtyard today and kept saying that my mother poisoned my mother-in-law, weren't you?"

"Yes...it was this old servant." Granny Jiang's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition creeping in. "Reporting to Miss, this old servant was misled by those two wretched maids, Dongmei and Xiaotao, and only acted because they claimed the evidence was conclusive..."

"Snapped!"

Zhao Huaiyu had no patience to listen to her finish speaking, and slapped her hard across the face, knocking Granny Jiang to the ground.

Granny Jiang's face stung with pain, and she was completely stunned.

"You believe everything they say? Don't you have a brain?! My mother is such a kind and filial person, how could she possibly do such a thing!"

"You made my mother lose face in public and suffer humiliation; that's truly despicable!"

"It's one thing for those two lowly maids to be dealt with, but you won't escape either."

Zhao Huaiyu said, "Ten slaps, do it yourself, or have my nanny Yu do it."

Granny Yu stepped forward and looked coldly at Granny Jiang after hearing her words.

Granny Jiang trembled all over, wanting to beg for mercy, but before she could speak, Zhao Huaiyu said impatiently, "Dawdling like this, you must not be sincerely repentant, Granny Yu!"

Granny Yu immediately ordered her servant to hold down Granny Jiang and then went forward to slap her hard from both sides.

With just one slap, Granny Jiang felt so much pain that her vision blurred, and she cried out for mercy.

Seeing Zhao Huaiyu's expression, Granny Yu shut Jiang Pozi up to prevent them from making too much noise.

Soon, a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the kitchen courtyard and looked over there.

Several pairs of eyes made Granny Jiang feel like she was being pricked by thorns, and she felt extremely humiliated.

After Granny Yu finished beating her, Granny Jiang's face was swollen like a pig's head. She fell to the ground, almost fainting from the pain, and her hatred grew even stronger.

"Your mother is magnanimous and won't pursue the matter, but you must remember your lowly status. If there's a next time, I will definitely report to my grandmother and have you thrown out of the manor. I will not let you off lightly!"

Zhao Huaiyu snorted coldly and left with Granny Yu, completely unaware that she had inadvertently dealt with Old Madam Zhao's people.

After she left, no one rushed to help Granny Jiang, all afraid of offending Zhao Huaiyu.

After glancing at it a few times, the crowd couldn't help but feel schadenfreude, whispering among themselves as they continued working.

And Madam Zhao soon found out as well.

Because it was dinnertime, Old Madam Zhao wanted to eat the cooking of Chef Ding from the kitchen, so she asked Granny Zhang to bring the meal. Granny Zhang then saw Granny Jiang lying unconscious on the ground outside, and was greatly alarmed.

Upon questioning, she learned that Zhao Huaiyu had done it. She had someone carry Granny Jiang back to her room and hurried back to report to the two men.

"Yu-jie has gone too far! Granny Jiang is my woman, how dare she be so disrespectful!" Old Madam Zhao was furious and ordered Zhang Mama to fetch Zhao Huaiyu.

Granny Zhang stepped forward and said, "Madam, you can't call Miss here to talk privately. Otherwise, everyone in the manor will realize that Granny Jiang is your person, and then Madam will find out too. How will Madam then plan to poison her?"

"Furthermore, we cannot punish Miss. Granny Jiang is partly to blame for her oversight in this matter, and it is only natural for her to stand up for her stepmother. How can we justify punishing Miss?"

Although reminded to calm down, Madam Zhao was still furious.

"What kind of bewitching potion did Cheng Nanzhi give Yu Jie'er that made Yu Jie'er protect her so much!"

She vented her anger by cursing and even smashed a vase.

Ye Ruyue, who lived in the side courtyard, soon found out as well, and she was even more unable to accept it.

How could her daughter do this to Cheng Nanzhi!

It took her three years to finally distance her son and daughter from Cheng Nanzhi, but how long has it been? They've already sided with Cheng Nanzhi again!

No, he can't accept it!

“Miss, in my opinion, you still need to continue to win over the young master and young lady. However, this cannot be accomplished overnight, so there is no rush. We can take it one step at a time,” Chunyu said.

Ye Ruyue gritted her teeth, "It won't be long before Ze-ge'er and Yu-jie'er only have me in their hearts!"

Her children will definitely only be close to her!

Cheng Nanzhi wants to take her child? No way!

Chunyu was quite pleased to see Ye Ruyue's indignation. As long as Miss Biao had the drive to climb the social ladder and refused to admit defeat, her chances of becoming the mistress of the house would increase. That would make it even less likely that Chunyu would lose this gamble.

Seeing that it was about time, Chunyu went to serve Ye Ruyue her meal.

Now she handles almost everything for Ye Ruyue herself, making sure everyone in the courtyard sees that she is the most trusted maid by the young lady's side.

To everyone's surprise, Sanmei stopped him as soon as he stepped out of the hospital.

"Chunyu, I'm reminding you one last time, don't get any deeper into this mess." Sanmei was still limping, her face pale, but her expression was very serious.

Chunyu scoffed, "What I do is none of your business! What, now that you see Miss Biao only wants me and has forgotten about you, and only talks to me about important matters, you finally can't hold back and are about to show your true colors? But let me tell you, it's too late!"

Sanmei said urgently, "I never intended to compete with you!"

"So what are you doing now? Aren't you just trying to drive me away from Miss Biao?" Chunyu said coldly.

Sanmei choked with sobs.

Chunyu approached her and said, "To tell you the truth, Miss Biao has entrusted me with a very important task, which you can never match! You'd better not try to stop me, or don't blame me for being heartless and telling Miss Biao that you instigated me to leave her, which seems to have ulterior motives."

Sanmei's eyes widened in disbelief that she would say such a thing.

Chunyu didn't look at her again, and walked past her in a great mood.

Sanmei gazed at her retreating figure with a complex expression, and said, "I reminded you, you've done more than enough..."

She couldn't tell Chunyu that she was actually working for the madam, as that would be detrimental to the madam. This was all she could do.

Hopefully, when Chunyu is with Miss Biao, she will be able to wake up and extricate herself before doing anything wrong.
