Chapter 713: Obedient and Soft

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Her grandmother had saved up a lot of energy and held on until her breath. She had waited for her cousin to return just to entrust him with her before she died. There was nothing wrong with that.

However, Yu Youyao felt that something was amiss.

Without their relations.h.i.+p as cousins, King Yue Fei had become a complete outsider. The Great Zhou Dynasty was more open-minded than past dynasties. There were not many taboos between relatives, so it did not matter if they were closer. However, men and women were still very particular about being wary of outsiders.

Her grandmother had asked King Yue Fei to take care of her more so that she could pa.s.s on in peace,

It was a little inappropriate to entrust him to her.

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Yin Huaixi’s eyes flashed. “What are you thinking about?”

Yu Youyao was suspicious, but she still shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that when the people from the clan arrive tomorrow, they should seal the coffin and prepare the burial items carefully.”

Since her cousin had said that he was entrusted with her, he wouldn’t lie to her.

Since her grandmother had made such an arrangement, there must be a reason.

If her cousin hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have asked.

“It’s not too late to prepare the burial items after the people from the clan arrive. ”

Yin Huaixi suddenly bent down and picked her up. The little girl’s thin figure lay in his arms. She was obedient and light, as if she weighed nothing.

Yu Youyao panicked when her body suddenly left the ground. She placed her hands on Yin Huaixi’s chest. The two of them were pressed against each other. Through the thin material of his clothes, she could feel that Yin Huaixi was very thin, but his chest was hard and his bones were broad. There was a thin layer of muscles on his body. It was now tense. When her hands were on it, they were like a barrier, exuding a stern and firm aura.

It always reminded Yu Youyao of the inner courtyard of the palace wall that she had seen when she entered the palace with her grandmother earlier. When she entered it, she felt a suffocating feeling.

Yu Youyao knew that this was against the rules. She nestled in Yin Huaixi’s arms like a small quail, shrinking her head timidly.

She was very easy to bully!

Yin Huaixi hurriedly chased away some of the inappropriate thoughts in his mind. He felt that after obtaining the Matriarch’s token, his guts had increased a little, but in the end, it was not right. She was a beautiful and virtuous woman who would be a good spouse for a gentleman. Without the relations.h.i.+p of being cousins, he would be an outsider in the future. He had to be wary of the relations.h.i.+p between men and women.

Yin Huaixi suddenly felt that there was still a long way to go— It was really too difficult for him!

Sighing to himself, Yin Huaixi walked to the window and carefully placed her on the soft couch. He took out a thin blanket and covered her with it.

“Matriarch has arranged to be placed in the main hall of the front courtyard. Yu Zongzheng and Yu Zongshen are keeping watch outside. Have a good sleep first. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Yu Youyao did not want to sleep. “l can’t sleep.”

“Be good.” Yin Huaixi took off the hairpin on her head and spread her hair. Her long black hair spilled out like water on the pillowcase. It was bright black, complementing her palm- sized face that was pale, delicate and fragile. Yin Huaixi felt pity for her. His throat rolled, but in the end, he couldn’t help but bend down and lower his head to meet her watery eyes. However, he paused. “Close your eyes.”

Yu Youyao was very obedient. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her thick and long eyelashes covered her eyes like a row of small fans.

A light kiss landed on her forehead and left immediately.

Yu Youyao couldn’t help but open her eyes. One was looking down on the other. Their eyes met.

The little girl’s eyes lit up and she dazzled in Yin Huaixi’s eyes. His heart was beating wildly. He kept feeling that her gaze was like resin. She was glued to him, making him unable to dodge or move.

He wanted to kiss her!

“Don’t look at me.” Yin Huaixi’s voice was hoa.r.s.e as he reached out to cover her eyes. Without her clingy gaze, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Close your eyes now and sleep well.”

Under his hand, the little girl’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt a slight itch in her heart. Yin Huaixi removed his hand as if it was burning.

The little girl looked at him eagerly. Finally, there was color in her pale face.

Yin Huaixi felt guilty and fl.u.s.tered. “l haven’t seen you for a while. You’ve lost a lot of weight. Don’t make me worry.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “l was good.”

In order to prove that she was really obedient, she closed her eyes obediently.

Yin Huaixi’s throat rolled, and he couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m going to the front courtyard to take a look and get Chun Xiao to come in and look after you.”

Yu Youyao nodded.

Yin Huaixi stood up to leave.

When Yu Youyao heard the commotion, she panicked a little. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, opening her eyes. “You know everything that happened in the residence?”

Yin Huaixi sat dovvn beside her again. “Yes, I do.”

Yu Youyao frowned. Yin Huaixi gently rubbed her forehead until her eyebrows relaxed. “You’ve arranged it well in the beginning. It’s not convenient for you to step in for the rest, so leave it to me to handle.”

Yu Youyao nodded.

Yin Huaixi continued, “Don’t think too much about it. On the seventh day of your grandmother’s pa.s.sing, I’ll step in and discuss with the clan. Your father-daughter relations.h.i.+p with Yu Zongzheng will only exist in name, There’s no need to care about irrelevant people.”

It wasn’t until this moment that Yu Youyao felt that nightmare and reality were different after all. She was about to break free from the cage of the Yu Residence and completely break through the tragic fate of the older Yao Yao in her nightmare.

Yu Youyao suddenly said, “l was about five or six years old. On the day of the

Buddhist Festival, I had some arguments with Yu Jianjia at the Precious Peace Temple. On impulse, I ran out of the courtyard and b.u.mped into a fugitive who had injured someone at the rockery of the Bodhisattva of Wishes. At that time, I was small and bold, so I scared the thief away and saved a young master who was covered in blood…

She told him everything that had happened back then.

After Yin Huaixi heard this, his eyes darkened. “Was that Song Mingzhao?” Yu Youyao shook her head and nodded. “l didn’t know in the past. Now that I think about it, it’s most likely him.”

When the string of fragmented images in the nightmare was pieced together, it became very clear.

The longevity lock that her mother had given her was broken. Her grandmother felt that it was inauspicious, so she put it away.

The two branches of the Yu Residence had split up. Her grandmother’s belongings belonged to the main branch and had been cleaned up by Madam Yang and her daughter. Yu Jianjia had taken the longevity lock that she had broken and pretended to thank Song Mingzhao for saving her life.

Due to the fact that he had saved her life, Song Mingzhao felt appreciation and affection for Yu Jianjia. However, he hated her and her grandmother because of his marriage with her.

After her grandmother’s death, Madam Yang and her daughter would definitely tarnish her biological mother’s reputation and question her background. Without her grandmother, Yu Zongzheng trusted Madam Yang and her daughter deeply.

Although family scandals shouldn’t be spread in public, Madam Yang and her daughter would definitely think of a way to let the Zhenguo Marquis

Residence know about this..
