Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red as she nodded obediently.

Fifth Old Madam also said, “Poor child. If you have any difficulties in the future, send a letter to the clan. Don’t be like your grandmother. She was stubborn for her entire life, and in the end, she still suffered.’

At the mention of Old Madam Yu, her eyes turned red and she couldn’t help but cry again.

Yu Youyao quickly comforted her.

After dinner, the old clan elder called the juniors in the family over, planning to explain all the etiquette.

As soon as First Madam saw it, she frowned and asked, “Why isn’t Third Miss here? Is she feeling unwell?”

Yu Youyao took a step forward and handed the letter that her grandmother had written on her behalf to First Madam. “Before Grandmother died, she instructed that Third Sister was not allowed to wear mourning clothes for her.’

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

What mistake had Yu Jianjia made to anger the Matriarch? She actually disregarded their grandmother- granddaughter relationship and did not allow Yu Jianjia to wear mourning clothes, making her bear the title of “unfilial”?

How serious was it?

First Madam’s expression turned solemn. She suddenly remembered that on the day Matriarch passed away, Yu Zongzheng had divorced Madam Yang. He had guessed that there was something going on, and it was not a small matter.

She quickly opened the letter and read it. She sent someone to call Nanny Liu over, and the two of them went to Matriarch Liu’s house to talk in private.

About the time it took to burn an incense stick, First Madam came out with a cold expression. Facing everyone’s doubts, she said coldly, “Such a rebellious daughter will be locked in the house for the time being. Don’t let her out and ruin Matriarch’s luck. After the funeral is over, bring her back to the clan and send her to the nunnery.”

At this point, the clan had an idea of what happened.

Matriarch’s sudden death must have something to do with this granddaughter of hers.

No one looked happy.

Yu Zongzheng wanted to defend his daughter, but when he thought of Old Madam Yu t s last words, he swallowed his words.

After that, no one mentioned Yu Jianjia anymore.

The old clan master explained all the etiquette of the funeral and arranged for it to be handled by second eldest madam. Madam Yao would help from the side, and there will definitely not be any mistakes. Yu Zongzheng, Yu Zongshen, and the men in the clan will support her. The women and the juniors of the family will all mourn in the mourning hall. We’ll make arrangements for the rest if there’s a need.”

After giving her instructions, they all returned to their houses to prepare for the burial.

Yu Youyao prepared a few scriptures that she had obtained from the Precious Peace Temple, as well as scriptures that she had copied herself and everything that her grandmother had liked when she was alive.

It was time to seal the coffin.

The Second Eldest Madam led the women and juniors of the family to the mourning hall. When she took one last look at Old Madam Yu, the adults were still fine, but the juniors cried on the spot.

At this moment, Xia Tao rushed over to report, “Young Miss, Nanny Liu is

Yu Youyao was stunned. The tears that she had finally stopped rushed out of her eyes again. She heard Xia Tao say, “After Matriarch’s coffin was sealed,

Nanny Liu returned to Matriarch’s house and swallowed rat poison…”

Yu Youyao’s body tilted, and luckily, she was supported by Chun Xiao.

Yu Youyao stabilized herself. “I’ll go take a look.”

Nanny Liu waited until she had finished talking to First Madam and revealed everything about Matriarch when she was alive before leaving.

This was what her grandmother had instructed. She was worried that Yu Zongzheng would not acknowledge his biological daughter, so she had to explain it to the clan clearly. With the clan’s help, no one would make a fuss about her granddaughter’s background in the future.

She actually had a premonition, so she asked Xia Tao to accompany Nanny Liu.

However, it was difficult for the King of Hell to save someone who was seeking death.

Nanny Liu left cleanly. She combed her hair and changed her clothes. She lay quietly on the couch. It was said that those who died after swallowing rat poison were in great pain, but she looked very peaceful.

Yu Youyao closed her eyes, and tears slid down her face. “It’s fine. Let’s bury her!”

Grandmother had passed away, and Nanny Liu had also passed away. There was nothing left in the Yu Residence that was worth staying for.

The next day, someone from the Xie Residence came.

It was said that not only was Yu Youyao’s maternal grandmother, Old Madam Xie, her eldest aunt, the Wang family, and her third cousin, Xie Jingliu, but even her great- grandfather, Old Master Xie, was here.

Old Master Xie had a high status. Even Old Granduncle was a generation inferior.

Everyone was shocked and quickly went out to welcome him.

Old Master Xie was almost 80 years old. He strode forward with a straight back. When he stood with the old clan master, their ages and seniority seemed to have been exchanged.

The group bowed to Old Madam Yu for the first time and offered incense.

The Second Eldest Madam quickly arranged for the people from the Xie Residence to rest in the small courtyard and let Yu Youyao greet them. She excused herself and left with the excuse that she was still busy.

Old Madam Xie sighed with emotion. Old Madam Yu was knowledgeable.

How could she not be busy? It was obvious that she wanted to avoid them so that their family could talk to their granddaughter alone and know what was going on.

Old Madam Xie quickly pulled her granddaughter into her arms.

Yu Youyao whimpered, “Grandmother.”

Old Madam Xie replied with a sigh, and her eyes immediately turned red. Even her voice was hoarse. “My Little Yao Yao, you have grown up so much in a blink of an eye. You look like your mother. You’re really beautiful.” As she spoke, she saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her heart ached. “Good child, everyone’s end is like this. Don’t be too sad.”

Yu Youyao nodded slightly.

Old Madam Xie had not seen her granddaughter for many years. She hugged her granddaughter and did not let go.

Eldest Uncle and Aunt watched from the side with greedy eyes. What a good girl. She was so gentle and doted on more than their young brat in the family.

Old Master Xie also watched eagerly.

Xie Jingliu held it in and couldn’t help but laugh. He opened his fan and covered his mouth.

The Xie Residence now housed four generations. In the fifth generations, Aunt was the only young lady. She loved her and cherished her only daughter

Therefore, she had received Yu Youyao’s letter earlier. Although the letter only mentioned some trivial matters of the Yu Residence, the people from the Xie Residence still sensed that there was a change in the Yu Residence.

Old Master Xie went against all opinions and wanted to go to the capital.

In the face of filial piety, Old Master Yu dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. He looked at his father eagerly as he brought his wife, grand daughter-in-law, and great- grandson into the capital.

Before leaving, he even instructed. “I think Little Yao Yao isn’t having a good time in the Yu Residence. Watch carefully and see if you can think of a way to bring her back to Quanzhou. Even if the Yu Residence doesn’t agree, she can come over and stay for a while.”

The incense stick was about to burn out, but Old Madam Xie was still hugging her granddaughter and chattering non- stop.

Old Master Xie was jealous and coughed.

Old Madam Xie did not seem to notice her father-in-law’s abnormality. “The last time I saw you was when you were seven years old. You were a round little person, delicate and smooth. You looked heavy and likable. How did you lose so much weight? I heard that you helped manage the household at the age of nine. Your grandmother’s health wasn’t good either. You’re in charge of the family inside and out.. Oh, my little girl, you’ve been tired…”
