Chapter 692: Causing Trouble

Yu Youyao nodded. “How can I not be busy during the holidays? In the past, Grandmother had always made the decisions for the family. As soon as she gave an instruction, we weren’t afraid that anything would go wrong. Now that Grandmother is sick, there’s no one in the family who can take charge. I should be more careful, in case something goes wrong at home and Grandmother worries again.”

Nanny Xu shook her head. The first branch of the Yu Residence was really a bad family. When their elder fell sick, there was not even anyone who could

take charge seriously. No matter how capable the eldest daughter of the first wife was, she was still a young lady who had yet to get married, so it was not convenient for her to manage many things.

At this moment, Xia Tao came over. “Young Miss, Nanny Xu is here to report that First Madam has used up all the old ginseng in her house and wants to collect another one.’

Yu Youyao was stunned when she heard this. She frowned and said, “Just say that Matriarch is sick. I’m attending to her illness in An Shou Hall, so I’ll have to trouble Third Miss to take care of the Tranquil Heart Residence. If there’s anything, just report it to Third Miss and let her make the decision.”

In the past, her grandmother had been in charge of Tranquil Heart Residence, and she had never gotten involved.

After her grandmother fell sick, she had been attending to her illness in An Shou Hall. Her grandmother had also instructed Yu Jianjia to go to the Tranquil Heart Residence to show her filial piety. She had even removed the guard.

She was just short of saying, “Take care of your own mother.”

Indirectly, she handed the Tranquil Heart Residence to Yu Jianjia.

Why was the matter of the Tranquil Heart Residence reported to her?

Xia Tao quickly said, “I heard that Third Miss isn’t feeling well. Nanny Li doesn’t dare to disturb her.’

Yu Youyao frowned and instructed Xia Tao, “Go to my house and get a hundred-year-old ginseng for Nanny Li. Prepare some good supplements and medicinal food and send them to Third Miss’ house to see if she’s seriously ill. Do we need to invite Imperial Physician Hu over to take a look?”

It had been a few days since Old Madam Lai had entered the residence, but Yu

Jianjia, who had been jumping up and down, had actually stopped?!

Yu Youyao was not surprised.

There was nothing to investigate Old Madam Lai’s family background.

The children of wealthy families were all served by maid servants who had signed a death contract. That was the condition for them to be allowed to serve in the master’s courtyard.

There were also a few courtyards of various sizes in the inner courtyard. Those who had signed a living contract like Old Madam Lai were usually not placed in an important position.

Most of the people who worked with Old Madam Lai and were familiar with her had signed a living contract. They would be released from the residence in three to five years at most. There were not many people in the residence who knew Old Madam Lai.

Why was Yu Jianjia spending so much effort on such a person? Yu Youyao understood.

Old Madam Lai might seem to have nothing to do with her.

However, after thinking about when Old Madam Lai had entered and left the residence, she understood that that person and Old Madam Lai did not have any interest in her grandmother, but her biological mother, Madam Xie.

At that time, the one managing the residence was her biological mother, Madam Xie.

Yu Jianjia wanted to use her biological mother, Madam Xie, to cause trouble.

This current Yu Jianjia suddenly overlapped with the Yu Jianjia in her nightmare. She used her blood as a medicinal catalyst and her heart as medicine, but she could still pretend to be weak and innocent.

Previously, Yu Youyao had never understood why, as the eldest daughter of the first wife of the Yu Residence, she had been so easily abandoned by the Yu Residence in her nightmare.

To the point where she had even been tacitly agreed to be Yu Jianjia’s medicinal catalyst?

If it had something to do with her biological mother, Madam Xie, then everything made sense.

Yu Youyao suddenly had the feeling that “it” was finally here. It was as if the two separate lines of nightmare and reality had suddenly intertwined.

Although she couldn’t guess what Yu Jianjia was going to do, the most direct and effective way to make the Yu Residence give up on the eldest daughter of the first wife was to make a big fuss about her reputation.

Yu Zongzheng did not have any feelings for his first wife. Her mother had already passed away for more than ten years. There were many things that could not be verified even in death. It was very easy to slander a dead person.

Yu Youyao turned around and returned to her room. She a letter to her cousin. There were only two words on it: Return quickly!

After writing, she handed the letter to Qiu Xing. “Give the letter to Chang An and send it to Youzhou at full speed.”

In a few days, the Xie Residence will arrive.

After Old Madam Lai entered the residence, it seemed that she had not done anything. In fact, she had already made the necessary plans. No matter what Yu Jianjia wanted to scheme, it would not go as planned.

She was no longer alone and helpless like in her nightmare. She was not the Yao Yao who could only rely on her grandmother.

Xia Tao followed Ai Ye into the house and heard Bai Ye crying in the inner room. “It’s all my fault. Miss was too kind and understanding. That’s why she allowed my grandmother to enter the residence and reunited me with her. However, I was only concerned about reuniting with Grandmother and didn’t serve Miss. Miss’ body is weak and she can’t be alone. Sister Ai Ye isn’t thorough enough. It’s all because of me that Miss fell ill and suffered.

Boohoo…

Yu Jianjia coughed lightly. It sounded weak. “It’s not your fault. It’s also because my body is weak. Filial piety is the most important. It’s rare for your grandmother to enter the residence, so it’s only right for you to be filial to her.’

Bai Ye immediately burst into tears. “Since I’ve signed a death contract and served Young Miss, I’m one of your people, If I die, it’ll be for you. I should prioritize Young Miss. My grandmother has been in the residence for a while already. She hasn’t served the residence for a long time and is no longer a member, so she can’t stay in the residence forever. I’ll send her out later.” Yu Jianjia hurriedly said, “The Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. Why don’t we wait until after it…

Bai Ye kowtowed respectfully to Young Miss. “I’ve made up my mind. Young

Miss, you don’t have to persuade me anymore. I’ll definitely do my best to serve you in the future.”

Yu Jianjia couldn’t help but cough again and say in a hoarse voice, “Girl, why are you so stubborn? I originally took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to bring your grandmother into the residence. The festival hasn’t even started…

Bai Ye kowtowed to Young Miss again. “I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Grandmother. Young Miss is sick, so I just want to serve you well.”

Yu Jianjia couldn’t persuade her anymore. “In that case, I won’t persuade you anymore. It’s just that your grandmother is old and not in good health. When she entered the residence, she followed the people in the manor and they could take care of her. It’s a little inappropriate for her to go back alone.” At this point, she pondered for a moment. “Let Hui Xiang make a trip and send your grandmother back. That way, I’ll be more at ease.”

Bai Ye did not want to trouble the residence too much, but she was worried about her grandmother, so she said, “Thank you, Young Miss.”

Yu Jianjia rewarded her with many more things, including 20 taels of silver, some cotton cloth, food, and so on.

When Bai Ye came out, her eyes were red. When she saw Xia Tao, she called out, “Sister Xia Tao.” Then, she left the house and returned to help her grandmother tidy up.

For some reason, when Xia Tao heard this, she was invited into the inner room by Ai Ye. There was a faint medicinal smell in the room. Yu Jianjia was leaning against the pillow with disheveled hair, her face pale and haggard..
