At this moment, seeing that Third Sister looked good and was in good health, he felt a little ashamed.

With this in mind, Yu Shansi heard his sister ask, “When I wasn’t around, were you doing well in the residence? Did Eldest Sister…”

Towards the end, she hesitated and did not continue.

Yu Shansi did not think too much about it and said, “Third Sister, don’t worry. I’m doing well in the residence, and Eldest Sister takes good care of me. A while ago, when I was young, I wasn’t good at the a.n.a.lects. Eldest Sister sent someone to give me a book. I benefited a lot from the notes she had learned in the past. The teacher even praised me.”

Now that his grudge with Eldest Sister had been resolved, his tone inevitably revealed respect.

Her father often said that Eldest Sister had also been as naughty and incompetent as him in the past. It was only after she fell sick after the New Year that she realized that she had become more diligent and motivated. Her current learning progress had caught up to others by three to five years, so he asked him to learn more from Eldest Sister.

“Is that so? That’s great.” Yu Jianjia felt as if she had been punched. She immediately choked on her words, unable to spit them out.

The aristocratic families were all very good at teaching their juniors.

Unless they were deliberately indulged like their mother or neglected their teachings, they could basically raise well-mannered children.

Her mother was locked up in the Tranquil Heart Residence. When she went to the manor, her father disciplined her fourth brother strictly. The child had no one to rely on and had suffered. It was very easy for him to become obedient.

As long as a person was obedient, they would basically do whatever others said.

Her father trusted Yu Youyao, so he must have instilled in Yu Shansi a lot of words about respecting his legitimate sister. Fourth Brother was most afraid of his father and listened to him. Whatever his father said must be true.

Seeing that she did not look too good, Yu Shansi was a little worried. “Third

Sister, are you feeling unwell?”

Yu Jianjia quickly shook her head. “No, nothing. I just suddenly thought of Mother and was a little worried.”

Yu Shansi was her biological younger brother!

But!

It had only been four months since Yu Shansi fell into the water, but he now already sided with Yu Youyao. He opened his mouth and mentioned Yu Youyao, full of respect. He was inferior to her, his biological sister.

Yu Jianjia couldn’t take it anymore. Her throat itched, and she coughed. She had only stayed in the manor for three to four months, but as soon as she returned, she felt that everything was different, and everyone had deserted her. All the matters in the Yu Residence were out of her control, including her biological brother.

How could it be?

How could it be?!

Yu Jianjia couldn’t help but scream in her heart, but her expression was calm. “By the way, have you seen Mother recently? How’s she doing?” She could no longer let Yu Shansi get close to Yu Youyao.

Yu Shansi was her biological brother, so he had to listen to her.

At the mention of his mother, Yu Shansi pursed his lips and nodded. “Every first and fifteenth day of the month, Grandmother will ask me to go to the Tranquil Heart Residence to visit Mother. Mother, she…”

Her mother was seriously ill, and the family had hired many physicians, but she did not recover.

Yu Jianjia was stunned. “How, how can that be? Didn’t Grandmother forbid us from seeing Mother?”

Fourth Brother was the only man in the main family, and his mother had become an abandoned wife. He had originally thought that Old Madam would not let Fourth Brother see his mother again, so he had thought of an excuse to sow discord. She did not expect…

Yu Shansi nodded. “In the beginning, Grandmother indeed didn’t let me see Mother. There was once when I was really worried about Mother, so I climbed the wall of the Tranquil Heart Residence and almost had an accident. When Grandmother found out, she was furious and was persuaded by Eldest Sister. It was also Eldest Sister who convinced Grandmother and allowed me to see Mother twice a month.”

He still remembered that his eldest sister had said, “Children don’t mind their mothers being ugly, and dogs don’t mind their families being poor. Fourth Brother has filial piety in his heart. Even if Mother is seriously ill, she shouldn’t stop her and her son from having a good relations.h.i.+p. Whether Mother is good or bad, Fourth Brother has to see it with his own eyes. If she hides it like this, Fourth Brother won’t be at ease. It’s inevitable that he’ll misunderstand. He still thinks that there’s something secretive about Mother’s illness. As time pa.s.ses, it’s inevitable that he’ll resent her and it’ll cause his family to be separated from him! ”

After meeting his mother a few times, he gradually understood.

It was true that his mother was seriously ill, but this illness…

Every time he returned to see his mother, at first, she could still talk nicely, but after a while, she suddenly became crazy and spoke incoherently.

She either scolded her father for being too heartless, her grandmother for being an old person, and her big sister for being a b*tch.

His mouth was filled with dirty words that he couldn’t accept.

He had accidentally heard Nanny Li and Bi Tao say that it was difficult to treat his mother’s illness. This was retribution!

He wasn’t a fool. He also knew that the word “retribution” wasn’t a good word.

It meant someone had done something bad.

He did not dare to ask what his mother had done wrong, let alone investigate further. However, he vaguely understood that this was probably the real reason why his grandmother did not let him see his mother.

After leaving the Tranquil Heart Residence that day, he felt terrible.

Unknowingly, he arrived at the Jade Courtyard and saw Eldest Sister sitting under the Parasol Tree reading.

He was furious. He rushed over and overturned the tea table in front of Eldest Sister, shouting, “My mother said that it’s all your fault that she ended up like this today. You’re a jinx…

At that time, Eldest Sister looked at him as if he was an insensible child. She said calmly, “Send Fourth Young Master to Grandmother’s house.”

Immediately, an old woman went over to pull him back.

Yu Shansi was furious. “You want to complain to Grandmother, right? Hmph, so be it. Who’s afraid…

The old woman brought him to An Shou Hall, but she only said, “Fourth Young

Master has just come out of the Tranquil Heart Residence.”

He had thought that his grandmother would teach him a lesson, but she did not say anything else. She only held his hand and asked about his well-being. The concern of the elders finally made the seven-year-old child unable to take it anymore. He threw himselt into her grandmother’s arms and wailed, intermittently telling his grandmother what he had heard in the Tranquil Heart Residence.

“Grandmother, is my mother a bad person? Is that why you want to lock her

Old Madam Yu had already expected this situation when she allowed Yu Shansi to visit Madam Yang. Previously, she had felt that the truth was too cruel to a child.

However, Yao Yao did not think so. She felt that it was precisely because Yu Shansi was young and had a sense of right and wrong that it was not that strong. There were many things that she did not have to deliberately hide from him. She did not have to ignore his feelings and let him be separated from his mother. Then, he would find out what kind of person his mother was from others. That would be a form of harm to him.

Old Madam Yu stroked his back. “Do you think your mother is a bad person?” Yu Shansi shook his head. “Mother treats me very well. She’s not a bad person.”

Old Madam Yu nodded. “So, it doesn’t matter if she’s a bad person or not. What’s important is that she treats you very well and is a good mother. You’re still young and don’t know much about this, but you have to remember that she’s still your mother after all. You have to be respectful and filial to her. However, she accidentally did something wrong, so you have to learn not to do the same..”
