With that, he couldnât help but glance at Eldest Miss Yu.
Eldest Miss Yu sat beside Old Madam Yu, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. He looked at it carefully. That smile was light and beautiful, making him happy. It was faint and clear, and the smile did not reach her eyes.
Old Madam Yu shook her head and smiled. âSince youâre fine, letâs stop talking about these bad things. Donât say thank you. You called me Grandmother Yu, and Iâve been watching you grow up since you were young. Naturally, I hope that youâll be well. Now that youâre fine, I feel relieved.â
These words were not completely polite, and they were sincere.
Even though Song Mingzhao was indifferent, he couldnât help but feel his heart skip a beat. âGrandmother Song, youâre right. However, Mingzhao has accepted Eldest Missâs life-saving grace. We have to thank her.â
Old Madam Yu waved her hand.
However, Yu Youyao said, âHeir Song, you donât have to be so polite. Although
I was the one who made the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, since I gave it to Grandmother, it belongs to her. Itâs also Grandmotherâs own wish to give it away. I naturally donât dare to take credit. As for the favor of saving your life, itâs too much. Heir Song, please donât mention it again in the future.â
The Zhenguo Marquis Residenceâs favor could be acknowledged, but there was no need to raise it to the level of saving his life. In case it was unclear with Song Mingzhao, it was better to make it clear early on.
Her casual words would cut the connection with Song Mingzhao.
Song Mingzhao felt suffocated for no reason. âAlthough Iâm not talented, I can still distinguish between gratitude and grudges. However, Eldest Miss is unwilling to take credit. I naturally accept your kindness.â
In other words, it was her business whether she admitted it or not.
At this point, Yu Youyao also felt sick of it.
Old Madam Yu tilted her head to look at her granddaughter and changed the topic. She asked Song Mingzhao, âHowâs your grandmotherâs health recently?â
Song Mingzhao nodded. âIt was also Eldest Miss Yu who recommended a very capable female doctor nanny to Third Sister. She recuperated carefully for a few days and her health improved every day.â
The female doctor nanny used to work in the Imperial Pharmacy with Nanny Xu, who was by Eldest Miss Yuâs side.
If it werenât for Nanny Xuâs recommendation, it wouldnât have been easy to hire such a powerful and reliable female doctor nanny. Since he was here today, he naturally had to mention it.
As soon as she spoke, Yao Yao was implicated. Old Madam Yu couldnât help but take a few more glances at Song Mingzhao. âThatâs great. When youâre old, you have to recuperate carefully.â
After that, Song Mingzhao chatted with Old Madam Yu for a while.
Yu Youyao did not interrupt and only sat and listened.
About an hour later, Song Mingzhao excused himself, saying that he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Old Madam Yu turned to her granddaughter and said, âSend Mingzhao off for
me.â
Yu Youyao replied in a low voice, âYes.â Then, she stood up and walked up to
Song Mingzhao. She said politely, âHeir Song, please.â
The two of them left An Shou Hall one after another without saying a word.
Song Mingzhao deliberately slowed down, but Yu Youyao was still a step behind him.
Song Mingzhao felt frustrated and suddenly stopped walking.
Yu Youyao stopped a step behind him and called out politely, âHeir Song?
Song Mingzhao took a deep breath and turned around. âI think the scenery of the Yu Residence along the way is not bad, so Iâll have to trouble Eldest Miss Yu to bring me around.â
Ever since he was young, his father had sent him to the Precious Peace Temple to study in peace. There were many people from the Yu Residence, but every time, they would come over to visit their elders. He had really never walked around in the Yu Residence.
Yu Youyao was unwilling, but she couldnât refuse.
Just as she was about to agree, she saw Yu Jianjia walking over in small steps
Dressed in a soft and glossy pearl brocade, she was so fair that she looked noble and elegant. Under the sunlight, she looked delicate and beautiful.
Yu Youyao swallowed the words she was about to say.
Seeing her strange expression, Song Mingzhao turned to take a look.
Yu Jianjia had already approached. She bent down slightly, making her figure look even more slender and delicate. âJia Jia greets Eldest Sister.â She looked up at Song Mingzhao and greeted him gently, âHello, Heir Song!â
Her voice was gentle and mellow, but Song Mingzhao looked at Yu Youyao. âThis is?â
He knew that other than Yu Youyao, there were two other young misses of the same age in the main branch of the Yu Residence. He did not know which one of them here.
Yu Jianjiaâs body stiffened, and she immediately did not know how to react.
The Song and Yu families were close friends. Although Song Mingzhao did not come to the Yu Residence often, with the close relationship between the two families, it was impossible for him not to recognize her!
Even Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment. Her deepest impression of Song
Mingzhao was still in her nightmare. Song Mingzhao had gone crazy for Yu
Jianjia.
However, in reality, Yu Jianjia was standing in front of him, and he actually did not recognize her!
Yu Youyao was a little stunned. âThis is my third sister. As her body is a little weak, sheâs raised in the house and rarely comes out to see anyone. Therefore, Heir Song doesnât recognize her.â
Everyone knew that Yu Jianjiaâs body was weak. It was obvious after asking around. Moreover, she did not care about it and often dressed up as sickly. Initially, she had only said those words out of goodwill to help Yu Jianjia out. However, when Yu Jianjia heard them, she felt that Yu Youyao had ill intentions and had deliberately said that her health was not good in front of Heir Song.
Yu Jianjia lowered her eyes.
Song Mingzhaoâs expression was indifferent. âThird Miss, greetings.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as Yu Jianjia was about to open her mouth to chat with Song Mingzhao, he had already turned to look at Yu Youyao. He was about to mention walking around the Yu Residence again.
Yu Youyao was the first to smile and say, âThere are still many things to do at home, so I will ask my third sister to bring you around the residence. Please donât blame me for not entertaining you well.â
Song Mingzhaoâs expression darkened.
He knew that Yu Youyaoâs stepmother was seriously ill. Now that she was in charge of the Yu Residence, it was understandable for her to use the excuse of being busy. However, was Yu Youyao really busy and did not have time to bring him around the Yu Residence, or she was unwilling at allâ¦
Although she did not understand what Yu Youyao was up to, she was still very willing to bring Song Mingzhao around the residence.
At the thought of this, Yu Jianjia added, âGrandmother is old, and Mother is seriously ill. Eldest Sister has to manage all the big and small matters, so sheâs very busy. If Heir Song doesnât mind, Iâllâ¦â
Halfway through his sentence, Song Mingzhao suddenly felt frustrated. He did not even look at Yu Jianjia, who was looking at him sincerely and beautifully, as he stared at Yu Youyao without blinking.
âEldest Miss Yu, can we talk in private?â
Yu Jianjiaâs face turned pale, and her lips couldnât help but tremble slightly.
The Derson who had looked delicate iust now immediatelv swaved and looked sickly and pitiful.
She was standing in front of Song Mingzhao.
However, Song Mingzhao acted as if he couldnât see her.
It was fine if he hadnât recognized her just now. After all, although she had seen Song Mingzhao a few times, she had never known him personally..
