Chapter 641: Trust

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

On the first day her cousin entered the residence, the scripture invitation that he had given her was also this scripture.

On the seventh of the second month, she was in Grandmaster Hui Nengs meditation room and had also heard him recite this scripture to her. Therefore, she had a deep impression of this pa.s.sage.

The little girl tilted her head to look at him. The lapel of her inner s.h.i.+rt was a little lower, and her thin and beautiful clothes were delicate and smooth.

When she looked up, one could vaguely see her collarbone hidden in the lapel.

Zhou Linghuai reluctantly looked away. “Chun Xiao is waiting outside. I’ll get her to come in and help you wash up.”

Before Yu Youyao could answer, he had already turned around and strode out of the door.

Yu Youyao did not think too much about it. She played with the new bracelet on her wrist and could not bear to part with it.

After a while, Chun Xiao brought the copper basin into the house.

Last night, Young Miss was sleepwalking and ran to The Green House. In the middle of the night, she stayed alone with Young Master for most of the night.

If word got out…

Chun Xiao was a little distracted as she handed over a Five Fragrance Pill.

Yu Youyao took the Five Fragrance Pill and held it in her mouth, slowly sucking it in her mouth.

The Five Fragrance Pill was grounded with more than ten types of incense medicine, such as cardamom, cloves, patchouli, and Bai Zhi. Coupled with a little honey, it was the size of a bean. Yu Youyao improved the formula and added in incense, musk, and other incense medicine. The Five Fragrance Pill was made every morning and night, and the effect of cleaning the mouth and teeth was very good.

After three minutes, Yu Youyao spat the chewed Five Fragrance Pill into a box.

Chun Xiao handed her another cup of warm salt water. Yu Youyao rinsed her mouth for a while and spat out the water.

Yu Youyao made the apricot flowers into peanut-sized beans. Every morning and night, when she was was.h.i.+ng her face, she would take one and melt it in her palm. She applied it on her face and ma.s.saged it gently for a moment. It was clean and hygienic.

After was.h.i.+ng her face and moisturizing it, Yu Youyao sat down on the dressing table.

After the copper was polished, the bronze mirror was made. The mirror was reflective and bright. It was as clear as a gla.s.s mirror, and looked beautiful and generous.

Yu Youyao saw the dark circles under Chun Xiao’s eyes in the bronze mirror.

“You didn’t sleep well last night?”

Young Miss had not returned all night. How could she sleep?

Chun Xiao hesitated. “Young Miss, last night, you…”

Yu Youyao’s expression darkened a little. “l was affected by a nightmare last night. I’m fine now.” She looked at Chun Xiao through the bright bronze mirror. “l didn’t alarm anyone else, right?”

Her indifferent gaze reminded Chun Xiao of—

Early this morning, when the sky was still gray, she was ordered by Nanny Xu to secretly send the clothes, jewelry, shoes, socks, and toiletries that Young Miss needed to The Green House.

At that time, Young Master looked at her like this and did not say anything.

However, the warmth in her entire body instantly turned cold. It was as if she had become a cold corpse. Even her mind was frozen.

Although Young Miss’s gaze was not as scary as Young Master Zhou’s, it still made Chun Xiao’s heart turn cold. “Young Miss was sleepwalking yesterday. I was afraid that something bad would happen, so I didn’t wake you up and looked for Nanny Xu to make a decision. No one in the courtyard knows that Young Miss is here.” When the words reached her lips, she suddenly swallowed the words “The Green House” and continued, “Nanny Xu said that Young Miss had a nightmare yesterday and went to her room in the middle of the night.”

Eldest Miss had not returned all night. Even if she did not alarm anyone yesterday, she needed to deliberately hide it. It was inevitable that a smart maidservant would notice some clues.

Although the Jade Courtyard was the main courtyard, the large and small courtyards were all built around it. In addition to the room in the south courtyard where Young Miss lived, there were small courtyards in the east and west. There were also side courtyards in the small courtyard.

There were more than ten big and small courtyards in total.

Nanny Xu lived alone in a quiet small courtyard in the east. There was a maidservant and an old woman serving her in the courtyard. There were few people and it was quiet.

Since Young Miss had a good relations.h.i.+p with Nanny Xu, it made sense for her to go to Nanny Xu’s room.

There were not many people in Nanny Xu’s courtyard, so no one would notice.

“When you return to the Jade Courtyard later, go back and rest. Get Xia Tao to serve you.” Yu Youyao trusted Nanny Xu very much. She did not tell her many things openly, but she did not deliberately hide them from her.

Nanny Xu could guess a little, but she had never taken the initiative to mention it. She had even taken the initiative to cover up for her. She and Nanny Xu had always maintained this subtle trust.

After interacting with her for three years, Yu Youyao was glad more than once that she had such a powerful person by her side.

Chun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, but when she thought of Young Miss and Young Master yesterday…

Her eyelids twitched violently.

As Young Miss’s personal maidservant, it wasn’t that she hadn’t noticed that Young Miss and Young Master were getting along too well. They had even crossed the line between men and women.

However, after Young Master entered the residence, he was really good to Young Miss. He taught her her studies, calligraphy, zither skills, and so on, making her become a completely different person.

Even the Matriarch had tacitly agreed and even allowed Young Miss to get close to Young Master.

To Young Miss, Young Master was a good teacher, friend, and family member. No matter what, if Young Miss interacted more with Young Master, it wouldn’t be bad for her.

Matriarch knew that she wouldn’t be able to protect Young Miss for many years. In the future, the only things that could protect her were the skills that Young Master had taught her and Young Master!

Since even the Matriarch had turned a blind eye, the servants in the residence naturally did not dare to say anything.

Young Miss was also benevolent and treated the servants in the residence well. If the servants did not find anything too amiss, they would not gossip. They would only think that the cousins were on good terms.

As time pa.s.sed, Chun Xiao saw them getting closer. She became used to it and was not surprised.

Thinking of the scene of Young Master carrying Young Miss horizontally last night, no matter how stupid she was, she understood that this was not the behavior of “cousins” at all.

Last night, after returning to the Jade Courtyard, Chun Xiao kept thinking about what Nanny Xu had said. She thought about it for most of the night, but she still couldn’t understand what Nanny Xu meant.

Chun Xiao lowered her eyes and hesitated. “Young Miss, you…”

Yu Youyao asked calmly, “Do you think Cousin treats me well?” Chun Xiao nodded without hesitation. “Of course!”

Yu Youyao asked again, “Then do you think Cousin will harm me?”

Chun Xiao subconsciously shook her head. “Of course not.”

“l know that you’re worried about me.” Yu Youyao gently fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist. The s.h.i.+ny black agate was pure, heavy, and gave people the power of stability. It was because she had a nightmare and was afraid and uneasy, so her cousin had specially made a bracelet for her. “You’re my personal maidservant and the person I trust the most. Just do as Nanny Xu told you yesterday. There are some things that you’ll understand sooner or later.’

Chun Xiao was honest. After being comforted by Young Miss, she felt much more at ease. She did not ask anything more..
