Chapter 545: Unscrupulous

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, Madam Yang could not abandon her. There were many things that a young lady like her, who had yet to get married, could not do.

All wealthy families valued dignity, so Concubine Qiu’s background was still a

little low.

That was why Concubine Jiang had entered the family.

Concubine Jiang’s smile deepened. “It’s not anything rare. It’s just something new, so I gave a few to Eldest Miss. Eldest Miss is usually used to seeing good things. Don’t mind it.”

It wasn’t a rare item, nor was it presentable, but she had still taken it out as a gift. It was obvious that she was sincere. Even if it wasn’t presentable, it was still a matter of courtesy and friendship.

The rest of her words were filled with undisguised flattery and goodwill, but she also said it openly.

Yu Youyao smiled and thanked her. “Thank you, Concubine Jiang.”

Concubine Jiang smiled beautifully. It wasn’t good for her to keep blocking the way and disturbing this Eldest Miss. She tactfully moved aside and watched Yu Youyao leave.

As soon as Yu Youyao returned to the Jade Courtyard, Nanny Xu brought over a plate of pineapple that had been cut into small pieces. “Concubine Jiang sent them over just now. They taste a little sour. I soaked them in salt water for a while. They’re sour, sweet and refreshing. Try them.”

Yu Youyao inserted a small piece and bit it gently. The sour, sweet, and refreshing juice burst into her mouth. “It tastes good. Prepare a small plate and

I’ll send it to Cousin.”

Although her cousin couldn’t eat sweet and sour food, pineapple was new. It wasn’t bad to try them.

Nanny Xu smiled and nodded. “When Concubine Jiang sent someone to deliver the pineapple, she mentioned that her monthly period was not regular and asked Eldest Miss for a prescription to nourish her body.”

She knew immediately that this was just an excuse.

Grandmother had naturally asked around about Concubine Jiang’s health when she wanted to marry into the family. She was in good health, but she still wanted nourishment?

Yu Youyao smiled. “Pick a few good recipes and send them over!”

Smart people always spoke without revealing anything.

Concubine Jiang had also heard that Yu Zongzheng wanted to adopt Yu Shanming into the first wife’s name. Thinking that it had been more than a year since she had taken him in and there had been no movement in her stomach, she heard that Concubine Qiu was pregnant back then and had also eaten the medicinal cuisine she had prepared to nourish her body. She also wanted to ask her for a prescription to nourish her body.

However, Concubine Jiang was well-mannered and knew that it wasn’t good to tell Yu Youyao, who hadn’t married yet, about this. She took the opportunity to mention this to Nanny Xu.

She was also worried that others would think that she was eager to have a child and say something bad, so she made an excuse and said that her period was not regular.

An irregular period was common. Many women had this problem. There was nothing wrong with having irregular periods while they were young.

Nanny Xu also smiled. “As a concubine, who doesn’t want their son to be a proper legitimate son? Even Concubine Qiu’s son can obtain such dignity. As a proper concubine, she naturally wants to have such dignity and make plans early.”

Yu Zongzheng had taken in three concubines. Concubine He had been taken in by the late Eldest Madam Xie and was like a thin horse that had been trained. Yu Zongzheng had also fallen for Concubine He’s tricks, and Madam Yang had suffered a lot.

This skinny horse that had been taught well but her brain had also been led astray by her mentor. She only wanted to compete for favors and please a man. If she had spent more effort on her daughter’s upbringing, she wouldn’t have been taken advantage of by Madam Yang. In the end, she was implicated by her daughter and lost all her favor. Now that she was sent to the manor, she had even lost her status.

Concubine Qiu was intriguing.

Old Madam Yu had specially chosen her according to Yu Zongzheng’s preferences. Her background wasn’t good, but she was from a clean family. Apparently, her ancestors had produced a High Scholar. However, she couldn’t be taken seriously. Her status was too low, and she had humiliated Yu

Zongzheng. To put it bluntly, it was Old Madam Yu who was restraining Madam Yang.

On the other hand, Concubine Jiang was the one who had been seriously accepted into the family. Although she was also a concubine, there was a fundamental difference between her and the others.

After eating a few pineapple pieces in a row, Nanny Xu quickly said, “The fruit pieces are sour. You can’t eat too many at once.”

This was also Yu Youyao’s first time eating pineapple. She felt that it was fresh and delicious, so she felt a little unsatisfied.

At this moment, Chun Xiao brought a plate of pineapples into the house.

Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up. She quickly took the fruit plate from Chun Xiao’s hand. “I’ll send the pineapples to Cousin.”

Nanny Xu smiled and shook her head. She was already so old, but she was still so greedy. If it were anyone else in the family, her elders would have taught her a lesson. “Men are loud mouthed, but women are greedy.”

However, no one in the Yu Residence cared about this.

Old Madam opened her mouth and shut it. “It’s a blessing to be able to eat. Only with a good appetite can her body recover fast. As a woman, she will have to put in a lot of effort in the future. If she saves up more strength, I guarantee that she’ll be safe in the future.”

There was no need to mention Young Master Zhou. He was a resourceful person to begin with. He flew in the sky, swam in the water, and scaled the mountains. As long as there was something rare, it had to be gathered and given to Yu Youyao.

In order to prevent her from gaining weight, Yu Youyao also added an hour of the Flexible Body Technique every morning.

At this time, her cousin was most likely in the study. Yu Youyao ran to the study but did not see him. Instead, she bumped into Chang An, who was helping him organize his books.

Chang An shook his head when he saw her. “Uncle Sun is helping Young Master with acupuncture in the pharmacy.”

Yu Youyao nodded and quickly ran to the study.

In the past two years, the happiest thing was that after two years of treatment and recuperation, her cousin’s health had finally improved.

Uncle Sun was already using the method of clearing the internal acupuncture points to treat his cousin’s legs.

Uncle Sun said that the internal acupuncture points needed to be treated every seven days for 49 days. After a total of seven treatments, her cousin’s legs would recover.

Now, he had already undergone three treatments. Today was the fourth treatment.

In another three, seven, and twenty-one days, her cousin’s legs would recover.

Yu Youyao went to Uncle Sun’s pharmacy. Worried that she would alarm him if she entered rashly, she knocked lightly on the door. “Cousin, can I come in?”

Zhou Linghuai’s lips curled up slightly. “Uncle Sun hasn’t started yet. Come in!

When Uncle Sun, who was sitting at the side, heard this, he looked up at Zhou Linghuai.

He was only wearing a pair of shorts as he leaned against the couch and snorted. “You’re not shy at all. You’ve wasted more than ten years of etiquette, integrity. and shame classes-‘

Zhou Linghuai smiled and did not refute. “If I don’t let her see it with her own eyes, she won’t feel at ease.”

Uncle Sun scoffed. “Just like your father, he’s as scheming as a sieve. If he takes a fancy to something, he has to get it done even if he has to be unscrupulous.”

Back then, Wen Ruqin had enjoyed a reputation as the number one beauty in the capital. She was even better than the current Yu Youyao..
