334 I'm Very Small-minded

Yu Youyao raised her head and blinked slightly. Her lips curved into a smile. No, it's just that on the way back to the Jade Courtyard, there was thunder and lightning. It was too scary, so I was a little afraid. However, I wasn't afraid when I saw Cousin!

Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes, as if she had been baptized.

If it hadn't entered her heart, how could it have been washed away?

However, Zhou Linghuai could clearly see that there was a hint of fatigue and gloom on the little girl's bright face. You don't have to force yourself in front of me.

Yu Youyao was silent for a moment before shaking her head.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly felt a violent emotion, and he heard the little girl say softly, Cousin, I know everything. I know everything. That day, Father slapped me. I eavesdropped on Grandmother and Father's conversation and knew that my mother's death wasn't an accident. I also knew that Grandmother had helped Father cover up the truth.

Zhou Linghuai did not say anything. His trembling hands gently placed on the top of her head and stroked her hair.

Yu Youyao's voice choked. I don't blame Grandmother. Mother's death has nothing to do with Grandmother. Although she was biased in dealing with my mother, the person who raised me and doted on me all these years was Grandmother. Grandmother has always doted on me and was the only person who doted on me the most.

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips.

I will also dote on you, indulge you, protect you, and always dote on you. I will become the person who dotes on you the most in this world.

So, don't cry, Yao Yao. Don't cry.

Yu Youyao looked up at her cousin and suddenly broke down. But does my mother deserves to die in vain? She still wants to fulfill that adulterous couple?!

The rumbling thunder suddenly exploded, swallowing even these treasonous words.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly clenched his fists tightly.

Yu Youyao looked at her cousin with an expression that had never been so cold and fierce. Cousin, do you believe in retribution? Without waiting for him to answer, she looked at her cousin and said word by word, I don't believe in it. I only believe in myself.

Zhou Linghuai lifted the little girl's chin, and his jade-like face suddenly leaned closer, his deep eyes like an abyss.

Before he could speak, Yu Youyao's mind went numb. She quickly added, And Cousin!

Her desire to live was really good. It was the same as when she had accidentally seen through his tracks at the Precious Peace Temple that day. She was delicate and timid. Zhou Linghuai's lips twitched. Coincidentally, I only trust myself.

What! Yu Youyao's cheeks puffed up with anger. She heard her cousin chuckle, his voice low and pleasant as he pinched the tip of her nose. And you.

Yu Youyao smiled. Then Cousin, do you think I'm very bad?

She was not a magnanimous person. After knowing the cause of her mother's death, she had never thought of letting Madam Yang off.

However, she also knew that although Madam Yang was only the daughter of a concubine. Her father was also a third-grade Imperial Censor and a superior. She had married into the Yu Residence for many years and had given birth to children for her father. Even her father's only son was raised by her.

Although Madam Yang was not presentable, she really did not have anything that could be used against her.

It was not easy to touch her quietly.

However, it was also not difficult.

What was Madam Yang's greatest reliance in the residence? Just destroy it.

Therefore, her scheming thoughts were wearing off bit by bit. She made Yu Zongzheng hate his wife, Yang Shuwan, and distance himself from her.

In the past, he had been so deeply in love with her that he did not even care about etiquette or shame. He had even wanted to have an affair with her. In fact, he had even secretly gotten her pregnant. In less than two months after his first wife's death, he did not hesitate to disobey his mother. He did not even care about the public in the capital and wanted to welcome her into the house as his husband. Bit by bit, his deep love was gone, and he distanced himself from her. His original love was replaced by disgust, and in the end, he completely despised her.

The cold treatment and disgust that her mother had suffered in the past were slowly returning to her.

Was such a punishment fast?!

Zhou Linghuai suddenly laughed. What are you talking about? It's humid outside. Hurry up and go back to your room. Be careful not to catch a cold.

Yu Youyao remembered that her cousin's legs couldn't stand the humidity either. As she pushed him into the house, she said, Cousin, I'm very petty. I can only acknowledge someone I care about. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll definitely take revenge on the people I care about.

The corners of Zhou Linghuai's lips curled up. That's great!

Those who repaid evil with kindness were saints!

As soon as they entered the house, Yu Youyao sniffed. What's that smell?

Zhou Linghuai chuckled and looked at the desk.

The little girl ran to the vase in front of the desk with her dress. She picked up a handful of hollyhocks from the vase and looked happy. Are these from Cousin?

Zhou Linghuai's expression paused for a moment. The hollyhocks was bright red and beautiful. Holding them in her arms, it half covered her delicate face, but it made her look even more beautiful.

Didn't you say you were going to the Green House to see the hollyhocks in the morning? Seeing that you didn't have time to come over, I picked a handful and came over with a bottle for you.

Yu Youyao smiled. Thank you, Cousin. She looked down at the hollyhocks in her arms. Her eyes were burning red and she looked extremely beautiful. The hollyhocks this year are really beautiful.

Zhou Linghuai looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and agreed deeply.

Yu Youyao pinched the most beautiful hollyhock and handed it to her cousin. She also moved closer to him. Cousin, put it on for me quickly.

Zhou Linghuai took the hollyhock and lowered his head. He saw that the little girl's black hair was piled up like clouds on her cheeks. He couldn't help but raise his hand and gently put the red hollyhock into her bun.

Hearing the little girl say happily, Cousin, are you done?

Zhou Linghuai nodded softly.

The little girl tilted her head and smiled. Does it look good?

The black hair and red flower had an indescribable beauty. Zhou Linghuai nodded, and his mind went blank for a moment. There was a lump in his throat, and he only said, It's very beautiful.

Not long after her cousin left, Xia Tao came over to report, Old Madam gave each of Fourth Young Master's servants 20 strokes of the paddle and sent them to the manor to do manual labor. She asked Nanny Liu to tidy up the Tranquil Heart Residence and sent First Madam in today. Only Nanny Li and Bi Tao were left by First Madam's side to serve her. The door of the Tranquil Heart Residence is locked tightly and no visitors are allowed.

Yu Youyao was not surprised.

Her grandmother had always been decisive. Since she was determined to deal with Madam Yang, she would not give her a chance to rise again.

Xia Tao paused for a moment before continuing, After Third Miss received the news, she dragged her sickly body to plead with Master and was reprimanded by him. As soon as she returned to the courtyard, she fell ill and fainted. Hui Xiang reported it to Master. Master was worried about Third Miss, so he took out his badge and got someone to invite Imperial Physician Hu into the residence.

Master still doted on Third Miss very much.
