Chun Xiao said, âThere are a total of ten people here. In addition to the Clan Chief and First Madam, the two elders, Old Granduncle and Fifth Granduncle, are also coming over. Second Old Madam and Fifth Old Madam have also brought a few clan aunts and uncles to help deal with the funeral.â
When Yu Youyao heard this, she knew that the clan took her grandmotherâs funeral very seriously.
The current elder of the clan was Yu Shandeâs father. Eldest Madam was the wife of the clan. The couple handled matters fairly and were very prestigious in the Yu Clan.
Her old great-uncle was respected and a true grand elder of the clan. He was already starting to not be involved in the clanâs matters.
Fifth Granduncle was in charge of the clan school. He was the great-uncle of the Yu Residence in the capital. He did not have a branch yet and was the closest to the Yu Residenceâs bloodline. Fifth Granduncle and his wife were all here,
The Second Old Madam was talented and very prestigious in the clan. She was in charge of all the matters related to weddings and funerals in the clan.
Yu Youyao nodded. âGet the small kitchen to prepare some light and nourishing medicinal cuisine. The elders in the clan are exhausted because of our family. We canât torture their bodies.â
Chun Xiao said, âYoung Master has invited Nanny Xu to help out in the small kitchen. He said that itâs to entertain the elders.â
The rest was handed over to the main kitchen.
Yu Youyao was stunned, suddenly not knowing what to do.
Chun Xiao smiled and said, âYoung Miss, donât worry. Young Master has already arranged everything that needs to be arranged. I guarantee that there wonât be any mistakes. You have to be careful first.â
The funeral lasted for many days, and there were still many tiring tasks in the future. Matriarch doted on Young Miss the most, and Young Miss was the eldest daughter of the first wife. It would definitely not be easy in the future.
Young Master was also worried about Young Miss, so he took the initiative to do everything he could.
If he did more, Young Miss would do less and work less. Yu Youyao nodded and smiled. âLetâs go out for dinner!â
Chun Xiao led Young Miss to the corridor.
At this moment, it was already seven oâclock. The sun had just risen and the light was bright. There was dew on the flowers and trees, and the air was slightly cold and wet. It was refreshing.
Yin Huaixi sat under the corridor and watched Yu Youyao walk over.
Her neck collar complemented her long neck, revealing her fair skin. Her waist was lightly tightened and it made her look soft and gentle.
Her slender wrists were exposed.
The morning was humid. The servants were worried that she would wear thin clothes and catch a cold, so they draped a wide piece of cloth that was as thin as a pair of beautiful wings around her. Although it was thin, it could block the wind. It was lightly pulled to the side. When she walked, it was elegant and light, like the wind brushing against willow vines.
It matched her figure.
She was very charming!
She really wanted to be beautiful and filial.
Yin Huaixi realized that obtaining Old Madam Yuâs token had also fueled his lust.
The delusions, infatuation, and greed that he had usually restrained in his heart seemed to have suddenly been released. Suddenly, a small crack appeared in the door. He stood behind the crack and squeezed his eyes to look out through the small crack. The matters of the men and women that should be hidden suddenly became clear in his eyes.
What he was paying attention to was no longer what the little girl used to dye her eyebrows or lipstick. These were all about outward appearances.
Instead, he thought about a kiss that was branded between her eyebrows. How lingering would it be? How fragrant, soft, and beautiful would her lips taste? Her slender figure would be soft and fragrant in his arms.
He couldnât help but admire her figure!
Yin Huaixi took a deep breath in the morning and instructed the servants to set the table.
Yu Youyao restrained her dress and sat opposite Yin Huaixi. âYesterday, I was so focused on being sad that I forgot. Cousin, itâs been hard on you to travel for a few days in a row. After breakfast, Cousin, go to the front courtyard and find a house to rest your eyes. When someone from the clan comes, Iâll send someone to inform you.â
Yu Youyao sat down, her silk draped over her shoulders. She was quiet and graceful. Yin Huaixi couldnât help but take a few more glances. When he reacted, he immediately restrained his eyes and nodded distractedly.
Perhaps because they had been separated for a long time, he always wanted to stay with her. He always wanted to look at her. When he saw her, he always wanted to take a closer look. After seeing her, he always wanted to evaluate if she had lost weight, if she had grown taller, or if she had grown shorter.
In particular, after obtaining Matriarchâs token, he was feeling smug. Her couldnât help but look at her and become impudent.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
He couldnât think about it anymore.
Seeing his perfunctory attitude, Yu Youyao pretended that he hadnât heard her. âDidnât Grandmother leave immediately? It wasnât good yesterday afternoon, so 1 kept watch until Grandmother passed away. Such a long time is enough for me to be mentally prepared. The time when I was most sad has passed. A dead person canât be revived. After a night of calming down, Iâve already accepted the reality of Grandmotherâs death.â
Her grandmother had passed away in peace. The most regretful thing was that she could not let go of her motherâs death.
âIâll listen to you and rest after breakfast.â Seeing that her eyes were red again, Yin Huaixi felt his scalp go numb. âDonât cry anymore. Itâs said that women are made of water. Your tears canât help but flow like this.â
Ever since she returned to the residence yesterday, her tears had almost never stopped flowing. Her eyes were still swollen. She did not know how the maidservant in front of her served her, but why did she not know how to apply ice on them?
Yu Youyao burst out laughing, and the tears in her eyes disappeared. âWhat I mean is, donât just worry about me. You have to take care of your health too. If your body is damaged, Iâll be worried too.â
Yin Huaixi heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Chun Xiao brought the servants to set the table.
In the small kitchen, he was worried that she wouldnât have a good appetite.
There was a lot of dishes for breakfast. He had prepared porridge, birdâs nest soup, red dates and silver fungus soup, soup dumplings, crystal dumplings, and so on.
There was a pot of white jade ginseng medicinal cuisine,
In addition, he had also prepared a lot of snacks. There were a few that she had eaten in the palace previously, such as pine nuts and lilies, egg fragrance pastry, sesame cake, and so on.
The recipes had been given to Yu Youyao by the Empress Dowager. Yu Youyao had seen them long ago. The snacks were delicious, but the method was too complicated.
Even if she liked them, she couldnât eat them often.
Chun Xiao quickly said, âAuntie Xu is busy in the small kitchen before dawn.
Miss, you have to eat more.â
Yu Youyao was very touched.
Yin Huaixi scooped a bowl of milky white jade ginseng and placed it in front of her. âThe milky white jade ginseng is light and nourishing. You havenât eaten anything seriously all day yesterday. Have a bowl of soup first to moisten your internal organs.â
Yu Youyao still did not have a good appetite, so Yin Huaixi coaxed her to eat some.
Yin Huaixi did not force her. The medicinal cuisine in the small kitchen was always prepared well. Every two hours, she could drink some soup and eat some food.
After breakfast, Yin Huaixi went to rest.
Yu Youyao went to the front hall. The front hall had already been turned into a mourning hall. There were a few long benches in the middle, and her grandmotherâs longevity coffin was placed on them..
