Hearing this, Yu Kangtai became even angrier. He raised his feather duster and chased after her.
"You wretched girl, how dare you threaten me? You didn't learn anything but bad habits. If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have sent someone to bring you back from Bashu!"
One fled ahead, the other pursued. Father and daughter kept circling the table.
Dang Gui looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"If he pursues, she won't be able to escape."
In the end, Yu Kangtai was exhausted and stopped first.
He grabbed the edge of the table and panted heavily. He pointed the feather duster at Yu Niaoniao and cursed.
"If you have the ability to cause trouble, don't run!"
Yu Niaoniao was also very tired. Her head was covered in sweat. "Father, things have already come to this. It's useless even if you beat me to death."
Yu Kangtai roared, "What sin have I committed to give birth to a debt collector like you?!"
Madam Jiang walked in.
Although she was over thirty years old, she had taken good care of herself. The years had barely left any marks on her face. Coupled with her careful dressing, she still looked beautiful.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly helped Yu Kangtai sit down at the table and patted his back to help him calm down.
"Even if she did something wrong, you can't be so angry. What if you hurt your health?"
Yu Kangtai gradually calmed down and his expression improved, but his tone was still very harsh.
"Not only was she entangled with Prince Lang, but she even brought this matter to the emperor.
Now, everyone in the entire Imperial Capital knows that our Yu family has raised an indecent daughter!
I have been utterly humiliated by her!'
Mrs. Jiang poured a cup of tea and placed it beside his hand.
"Niaoniao is still young, so it's inevitable that she's a little inconsiderate. As elders, we have to tolerate her more."
These words sounded like they were speaking for Yu Niaoniao, but in fact, they were fanning the flames.
When Yu Kangtai heard Mrs. Jiang's words, his anger that had just subsided immediately flared up again!
He slapped the table and swore.
"She's sixteen! She's an adult!
Look at Pingping, she is two years younger than her, but she is much more sensible and obedient. She never gives me any trouble.
Unlike this wretched girl, who hasn't let me live a peaceful life since she returned!"
Yu Qianqian was the daughter of the Xie family. The Xie family had already passed away, and Mrs. Jiang was Yu Kangtai's second wife.
After Mrs. Jiang entered, she gave birth to a pair of children. Yu Pingping was one of them.
Mrs. Jiang continued to coax him gently.
"Alright, alright. Don't be angry. Since you didn't do a good job, just discipline her well. Don't let your anger affect yourhealth."
That reminded Yu Kangtai.
The brat should be disciplined properly. Otherwise, she would really be lawless!
He pointed at Yu Niaoniao's nose and snapped.
"Go kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect. Don't get up without my permission!"
Mrs. Jiang said gently to Yu Qianqian.
"Your father is in poor health. Don't make him angry in the future, understand?"
Yu Niaoniao knew very well that Mrs. Jiang did not like her.
Therefore, she did not want to waste her breath on her. She casually pulled on a smock and walked out without looking back.
Yu Kangtai reprimanded her from behind.
"Look at her attitude! She ignored her elders when they spoke to her. I wonder how her mother raised her?!"
Yu Niaoniao paused in her pacing.
She looked as if she wanted to argue, but she said nothing in the end. Silently, she quickened her pace and walked away.
