Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Thinking of the barrier that had suddenly appeared between them previously, Yin Huaixi couldn’t take it anymore. For some reason, he pulled Yu Youyao into his arms. “Wait a little longer. When the time is right, I’ll bring you to the

North legitimately. In the future…” He paused for a moment and said, “We won’t be separated again!”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring her to Youzhou.

It was not that he couldn’t but he didn’t dare to.

She can only be a wife if they are married, If they elope, she can only be a concubine. How could he bear to let her suffer like this?!

Fortunately, as long as she arrived in Quanzhou, he would have a way to reunite with her in Youzhou.

Yu Youyao suddenly felt relieved and nodded slightly. Worried that he wouldn’t see it, she nodded again.

After the Xie Residence entered the capital, they watched as Yin Huaixi carefully planned for her. Although they felt relieved, they were not as happy as they had imagined.

She lost weight every day and night.

She tossed and turned, unable to eat.

Other than grieving for her grandmother’s death, it was even more heartbreaking to part with her.

As a daughter of the Yu Clan, the only chance for her to leave the Yu Residence and Quanzhao was to return to her mother’s clan and go to Quanzhou.

Once she went to Quanzhou, she and Yin Huaixi would also be separated. They would not be as close as they were now, and they might even drift apart.

However, she knew better!

Yin Huaixi had the ambition to take down the emperor, calm the nine prefectures and eliminate the schemes of the four seas. As long as she stayed in the Yu Residence, he would always be worried and restrained.

Therefore, she accepted all the arrangements.

Yin Huaixi’s promise of “l won’t leave you behind” finally became empty words.

On the other hand, Yu Youyao had her own pride and ambition. She shouldn’t be his stumbling block.

Xia Tao didn’t say much, but Yu Youyao understood what she meant. “It is not Yu Zongzheng who has the final say whether Yu Jianjia should stay or go. Madam Yang has been abandoned. Forget the fact that Yu Jianjia is a daughter of a concubine, she still has to bear the reputation of being unfilial. The clan will not let her stay in the capital.”

The two of them finished talking.

The Clan Chief’s wife came over with a smile. “Good child, you’ve been coming to the mourning hall to accompany your grandmother before dawn these past few days. You have to take care of your health.”

It had only been seven days since the funeral, but Yu Youyao’s figure was extremely thin. Her delicate oval face was getting slimmer and even her chin was sharper. She looked pitiful. When she walked, her figure was as thin as a willow branch. She was beautiful, but she always made people worry that when the wind blew, she might fall to the ground.

Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red. “l feel like Grandmother is still by my side. If I don’t stay in the mourning hall, I won’t feel at ease.”

Last night, she dreamed that her grandmother walked out of her coffin and held her hand with a smile, talking to her as if she were the same as before.

The Clan Chief’s wife held her hand and felt sympathy for her.

The two of them chatted for a while before the chief’s wife stuffed a booklet into Yu Youyao’s hand. “You donated 10% of the assets under your name to help the clan repair the ancestral hall and establish the clan school. The clan didn’t take advantage of you for nothing. The old clan master had a discussion with us yesterday and told us to pick some antiques left behind by our ancestors to compensate you. Take a closer look and see if there’s anything else you need.”

The Yu Clan was a clan that followed etiquette strictly. Since a clansman had contributed to the clan, they naturally had to return the favor. At the very least, on the surface, they could not take advantage of the clansmen.

The antiques left behind by the ancestors were meant for the future generations.

They couldn’t sell them either, so they were appropriately used to compensate

Yu Youyao.

“Repairing the ancestral hall and establishing the clan has always been Grandmother’s wish. Grandmother has suddenly passed away, so there are many things that I haven’t had time to explain. As her granddaughter, it’s only right for me to do my best to fulfil Grandmother’s wishes. There’s no other reason. Since the clan has given me something, it shows the inseparable relationship between the clan and me. I will remember it in my heart.”

Yu Youyao was not surprised by this. When she was donating assets, she had known that although the Yu Clan valued profits, they also valued family voice and etiquette.

If those business assets were replaced with antiques that had been passed down for generations, she would not face a loss.

Madam Zong finally understood why Old Madam Yu doted on her granddaughter so much. She had a delicate heart and was very understanding.

Not only did she have her grandmother’s good reputation in the clan, but she also had good etiquette and was the pride of the clan. If news of this spread outside, it might even be a good thing.

Who wouldn’t like such a person?

The Clan Chief’s wife held Yu Youyao’s hand, and her smile became more sincere. “l heard that you like antique collections. There’s a set of wood-fired teacups in the clan that will be added to the book later.”

Yu Youyao was really surprised..
