Lau Yixuan and Yu Shanshan were directly kicked out of the Tao Family house, forbidden to ever step foot in it again for the rest of their lives, and from now on, they were not allowed to get close to Tao Yuzhu.
In Tao Yuzhu’s chamber, Lady Tao walked in and saw Tao Yuzhu sprawled on the bed. "You still have the heart to sleep?"
Tao Yuzhu’s body trembled a bit and she quickly got up, rubbing her eyes. "Mom, I know I was wrong..."
Lady Tao’s heart softened for a mont, but thinking about the foolish things Tao Yuzhu did tonight, she knew she couldn’t indulge her anymore; otherwise, who knows what kind of mistakes she would make.
"What did you do wrong?" Lady Tao asked in an unusually harsh tone.
Tao Yuzhu instinctively shuddered, never having seen her mother so stern, and felt a bit scared: "I... I shouldn’t have been so close with Lau Yixuan."
"And what else?"
"And... I shouldn’t have listened to Yu Shanshan."
"And what else?"
Tao Yuzhu pressed her lips together, "That’s all."
Lady Tao walked over and tapped her on the forehead. "Tell , how did Ji Yunya set you up?"
Tao Yuzhu jumped up imdiately, "Can we not ntion her?"
Lady Tao looked at her in disbelief, "Yuzhu, when did you beco so unfamiliar to ?"
Tao Yuzhu clenched her fists and said softly, "Mom, I know I shouldn’t falsely accuse Ji Yunya. I admit my mistake, so can you please stop ntioning her?"
Huang Jia sighed beside them, "Little sister, it seems you still haven’t truly listened to Mom. Tonight’s matter isn’t that simple. Think about it carefully, given Lady Yan’s status and vision, would she choose a daughter-in-law who is shallow, loves to show off, and lacks insight?"
Tao Yuzhu wanted to say sothing but held back.
"It’s also my fault for spoiling you too much, raising you to be so foolish. In this vast world, it’s not just black and white. If you are too naive, you will be manipulated and not even know when you die." Lady Tao wearily rubbed her temples, a hint of self-bla in her eyes.
Tao Yuzhu sniffed, "Mom..."
"You are a daughter of the Tao Family, with an uncle like that. You can’t hide from it. You’re already in the vortex of power. At tis, our Tao Family represents your uncle. Do you realize how cruel this is? Do you know that tonight, you were just a pawn in soone else’s ga?"
Tao Yuzhu’s face stiffened, a sense of dread rising in her heart.
Lady Tao didn’t want to scare her, but so truths had to be understood sooner or later. "Think it over for yourself. Don’t go out these next few days. As for those two people, it’s best not to see them anymore."
Lady Tao and Huang Jia left, leaving the room empty. Tao Yuzhu dropped onto the bed.
She covered her face and cried.
She didn’t want to think about it, preferring self-deception. However, when the bloody truth was laid bare before her, how could she deceive herself any longer?
"Lady Yan, I’m sorry about tonight’s events. It’s my fault for not educating my daughter properly," Lady Tao sighed and said self-blamingly.
"Don’t bla yourself too much. Miss Tao is still young and can be taught slowly," Zhuang Xiyue said. Although she was angry, seeing Lady Tao’s remorseful look, she couldn’t say anything reproachful.
Moreover, she understood that the target was indeed the Yan Family.
"I just hope that through tonight’s events, Lady Tao understands who the true allies are," Zhuang Xiyue sat up straight and said calmly.
Lady Tao glanced at Zhuang Xiyue and slowly nodded, "That’s only natural."
Zhuang Xiyue’s lips slowly curved into a smile.
It’s called lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot. No one is a fool here.
Ji Yunya and Yan Song were sitting in the living room, and the butler brought up tea before respectfully stepping back.
"Miss Ji, I apologize on behalf of my little sister. I hope you won’t hold a grudge against her," Huang Jia walked over and said sincerely.
Ji Yunya smiled slowly, "Miss Tao is still an immature child. How could I hold a grudge against a child?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Huang Jia awkwardly smiled, cursing Tao Yuzhu in his heart once again, feigning a smile, "Miss Ji’s magnanimity is truly admirable."
Ji Yunya curled her lips, magnanimous? I wouldn’t dare claim that.
She hoped that after this incident, Tao Yuzhu would genuinely learn and grow, but she did believe in Lady Tao and Huang Jia’s character, not allowing Tao Yuzhu to act recklessly.
Leaving the Tao Family, the three got into the car to head back.
Yan Song first took Ji Yunya ho to rest, then left the room.
Ji Yunya was not asleep; she sat up, and Mingyue climbed in through the window, "Lin Tao wants to see Miss Ji."
Ji Yunya suddenly sat up straight, "When?"
"Now."
