Chapter 544: No Conscience

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Had he forgotten how Madam Xie had died?

Could it be that he had forgotten that after being a kind father for a few years, he really thought that he was a kind father all along and had forgotten how he treated Yao Yao badly back then?

Or had he lost his conscience when he became an official?

He was really old and his brain was not as good as when he was young. When his heart softened, he always thought well of himself.

In addition, in the past few years, Eldest Son was indeed not as bad as before. It was also a good thing for the family, so she did not think too much about it.

To think that she had lived for most of her life, but she was not as insightful as her granddaughter.

It was obvious how angry Old Madam Yu was.

Yu Youyao shook her head. Father is the eldest son of the first wife, so he has to care more about the familys future. Its also a good thing as a daughter depends on her fathers status. Its just that this matter isnt appropriate, so Im telling this to Grandmother and asking you to persuade Father so that he wont have unnecessary misunderstandings with me.

Old Madam Yus face was filled with anger, and her voice deepened. Alright, Ive seen through what your father is. The bigger the official t.i.tle, the more ambitious he is. Dont speak up for your father anymore. At this point, she knew that she was dizzy with anger, so she quickly changed the topic. Brother Ming, are you asleep?

Just now, she was also furious. She did not hide the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart in front of her granddaughter.

The older she was, the more arrogant she became.

Yu Youyao nodded. Perhaps hes a little tired from crying. When it comes to me, he falls asleep quickly.

Old Madam Yu forced a smile. Youve also been hugging him for a long time. I think your hands are sore, so let Nanny carry him back to the Rain Autumn

Courtyard.

With that, she asked Nanny Liu to go to the side room to call the nanny.

The nanny came quickly and quickly took Yu Shanming from Yu Youyaos arms. She smiled and said, Eldest Misss posture of carrying a child is more stable than us, who are used to raising children. Every time Seventh Young Master returns to you, hell be more peaceful than anyone else.

This was not a compliment. The childs reaction did not lie.

Yu Youyao smiled. Children are tender. If I dont hold them firmly, theyll definitely moan and feel uncomfortable.

Nanny smiled too.

This was it. Only when you were with someone sincerely would you think about whether they were comfortable.

As soon as Yu Youyao left, Old Madam Yu couldnt suppress her anger. She reached out and swept the cups and plates on the table to the ground.

Old Madam Yu said in a low voice, As the eldest son of the first wife, its fine for Eldest Son to scheme more for the family, but this scheme should be calculated more clearly. To think that he can think of such a thing that harms others without benefiting himself.

Anyone who was well-mannered should know that they had to help their maiden family. Only when their maiden family was stable could the children marry well and her status as a wife in her husbands family be stable.

Yao Yao wasnt a fool.

Which brother and sister in the family had never been taken care of by her?

With Yao Yaos relations.h.i.+p with the Xie family, did he still need to scheme for this relations.h.i.+p?

With Yao Yaos character and talent, was he worried that she would benefit from the Xie family and not help the family?

She really didnt know if she should call him stupid or arrogant.

Nanny Liu lowered her head, wis.h.i.+ng she could cover her ears too.

When Master mentioned this in the morning, she felt that it was inappropriate, but she did not think too much about it. Seeing that Matriarch was happy to see it happen, she did not say anything else.

Who knew

As soon as Yu Youyao left the north courtyard, she b.u.mped into Concubine Jiang, who had come to greet the Old Madam.

The autumn-colored dress made her look beautiful. Although her figure was not as thin as Concubine Qius, her every move was a little delicate and she did not look frivolous or tacky. Instead, she looked elegant. It was obvious that she had been raised well.

Concubine Jiang was a newcomer who had only been accepted into the residence two years ago.

At that time, Concubine Qiu had been pregnant for seven to eight months and her body had become heavier. Matriarch He made the decision to send Concubine He to the manor, planning to take in a concubine for Yu Zongzheng seriously.

Concubine Jiang was the third daughter of the Imperial Colleges Registrar

Jiangs family. Second Aunt had recommended her using her maiden family.

Although the official registrar was only a sixth-grade official, his family also had farmers and scholars. His family had a small fortune and had been studying agriculture for generations. He could be considered to have pa.s.sed down poetry and books.

Official Jiang was also a proper scholar. He was much more particular about poetry, books, and etiquette than ordinary families.

Concubine Jiang was still the legitimate daughter of the first wife. Just based on her status, she had to be valued.

Yu Zongzheng was also very satisfied with this concubine with a good background and upbringing. He gave her some respect, and Concubine Qiu could not surpa.s.s her.

Concubine Jiang was indeed talented and knowledgeable.

After arriving at the Yu Residence, she could show filial piety to her elders and help manage the inner residence. She was even better than Concubine Qiu.

Old Madam Yu was also very satisfied and relied on her a lot. Most of the family matters were handled by her and Concubine Qiu.

This way, the family was stable.

Yu Youyao did not spend too much time in the inner residence. Concubine Jiang and Concubine Qiu were also tactful. If they could not make up their minds,they would discuss it with Nanny Liu and Nanny Xu before coming over to ask.

When Concubine Jiang saw Yu Youyao, she quickened her pace and walked forward. She bowed to Yu Youyao. Eldest Miss, youve just come out of

Matriarchs residence.

Yu Youyao also smiled and nodded. Ive disturbed her for a long time just now. I think shes tired. Concubine Jiang, why dont you go over tomorrow to greet her?

Her grandmother was so angry with Yu Zongzhengs unintentional scheme that she probably wasnt in the mood to see Concubine Jiang anymore.

As Concubine Jiang was from a good family and was the daughter of the first wife, she was even more respected than Concubine Qiu in front of her grandmother.

Madam Yang was still sick, so she couldnt be filial in front of Matriarch. Yu Zongzheng had to instruct her to go to Matriarch Yangs residence more often.

Naturally, Concubine Jiang had to do as she was told.

Seeing that she was sensible, her grandmother tacitly agreed.

She wasnt a n.o.ble concubine but she was even better.

Concubine Jiangs gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly, and she smiled. Matriarch is old, so its time for her to rest more. At this point, she changed the topic and smiled. My hometown is in Jiangxi Province, where a type of pineapple is produced. Its sour, sweet, and refres.h.i.+ng. Its fragrant, juicy, and dry in spring. Its very appetizing. A few days ago, my hometown sent some into the capital. My mother ordered someone to send a few over, wanting to give them to Matriarch to try. Since Matriarch is resting, I wont disturb her.

This pineapple was originally also wild. Her family had tried to improve it, but they did not expect it to taste so good. It was just that there was too little production and it was not big. It did not look dignified.

Usually, it was eaten by their own family and was not brought out.

This spring, there were few fruits in the capital, so pineapples were rare.

Yu Youyao smiled. Youre too kind.

As long as the Yu Residence did not give up on Yu Shansi, the legitimate son of the first wife, Eldest Son could not divorce Madam Yang. Divorcing a wife had to be done carefully. If one violated the rules, it would be called offending a wife.

As the legitimate son of the first wife, Yu Shansi could not have a mother who had violated her.

Otherwise, it would ruin his future..
