Occasionally, she would show a little intelligence in front of her grandmother, so her grandmother had always firmly believed in this and doted on her.
However, she was just not working hard. She was not really stupid.
Although that nightmare had a huge impact on her, âZhou Linghuaiâ and Nanny Xu had entered the residence one after another. This was the opportunity for her to change her situation.
She was no longer alone and helpless in the residence. She had someone by her side who had nothing to do with Madam Yang, Yu Zongzheng, and the others. They would only take care of her.
This person had come from the palace and had the ability to really make her stand tall in the backyard, which was a ruthless place.
Everyone felt that she was talented and had a photographic memory. She learned faster than others.
However, no one knew that she had not worked hard in the past, but she was not really stupid. She had secretly learned a little.
She and Yu Jianjia had a high fever at the same time. Yu Jianjia was weak and had gone to school. Why was she not going to school?
Didnât she know that she would be scolded by her father?
She had experienced such things many times in the past!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This was because she was waiting for an opportunity!
However, she did not expect that this opportunity would exhaust the remaining father-daughter affection between her and Yu Zongzheng. However, in the end, she still achieved her goal.
She worked hard openly.
With a dignified person like Nanny Xu by her side, Madam Yang did not dare to use her dirty methods. Yu Youyao was no longer the little Youyao who was in danger and could only rely on pretending to be crazy to protect herself.
The better her studies were, the more satisfied Yu Zongzheng would be with her.
Madam Yang could not easily instigate Yu Zongzheng anymore.
Therefore, she absorbed it hungrily. She had never learned anything through hard work in the past, so she let Nanny Xu arrange her time every day. Although she grumbled, she did not complain. Although it was difficult, she did not retreat. Therefore, she learned faster, more, and better than others.
At the mention of the past, Yu Youyaoâs tone was very complicated. âWhen you first entered the residence, I was deliberately getting close to you.â She lowered her head and said in a slightly bitter voice, âI didnât mean to lie to you. I want to live well. I donât want to be manipulated by anyone, let alone controlled by anyone.â
On the first day Yin Huaixi entered the residence, he sensed the subtlety of the residence.
Many things could not withstand scrutiny.
Just from the moment Chang An entered the residence, he had heard that Eldest Miss Yu was arrogant and domineering. He knew that as the eldest daughter of a bereaved wife, Yu Youyao seemed to have received Old Madam Yuâs favor, but she was far from as glorious as she looked.
Yu Youyaoâs voice was muffled. âDo you thinkâ¦â She couldnât continue, but she still asked stubbornly, âDo you think that Iâm deliberately using you?â
Yin Huaixi took a step forward and pulled her into his arms.
Her slender figure trembled slightly in his arms, and his heart tightened. âThen did you treat me sincerely in the past?â
âOf course I was sincere.â As if afraid that he would misunderstand, Yu Youyao looked up at him, her eyes instantly covered in a layer of mist. She said anxiously, âAlthough I have my own thoughts, this has nothing to do with me treating you well. In my heart, youâre my cousin, an older brother whoâs closer to me than my Big Brother.â
Seeing that her face was a little pale, Yin Huaixiâs heart ached. âWhy do you think Iâm teaching you carefully? Do I have nothing better to do? Do I look like the kind of person who likes to cause trouble and meddle in other peopleâs business?â
Yu Youyao looked at him in a daze. The tears in her eyes were wet, and she was about to cry, but she stubbornly held back her tears.
Yin Huaixi chuckled. âGive me a papaya and Iâll repay you with a beautiful jade. Itâs not just to repay you. Weâll be friends forever.â
Sincerity was exchanged for sincerity. How could it be used?
Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment before she understood. He gave her a papaya, and she repaid him with a beautiful jade. It was not just to thank him, but to represent that she treasured his feelings and that they would be friends forever!
Since he treated her sincerely, she would return the favor with double her sincerity.
Yin Huaixi laughed again. âDo you understand?â
Yu Youyao threw herself into his arms and whispered, âI understand.â
Yin Huaixi took a white handkerchief from her waist and gently wiped away the tears on her eyelashes. He saw that her eyes were red, her eyes were dizzy, and the corners of her eyes were delicate. She clearly looked delicate and pitiful.
He suppressed the abrupt thought in his heart. âDonât let your imagination run wild again, okay?â
Yu Youyao nodded softly.
It wasnât that she was letting her imagination run wild, but when she thought about how she couldnât even go out as she pleased for many reasons in the Yu Residence in the past, she suddenly felt dazed.
Yin Huaixi held her hand and stuffed the handkerchief into it. âDidnât you want to learn how to ride a horse? Iâll teach you now.â
Yu Youyao finally smiled through her tears. âOkay!â
Yin Huaixi finally heaved a sigh of relief. He secretly wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead, but seemed to exist nervously.
The terrain of the canyon was relatively flat, and it occupied a lot of land. It was suitable for learning how to ride a horse. Yin Huaixi had specially prepared a more docile pony for Yu Youyao.
The horse was completely snow-white and extraordinary.
Yin Huaixi introduced it to her. âThis is a snow mountain horse of the Northern Barbarians. Itâs as white as snow and lives in a relatively cold highland area, so itâs called this. There are three types of pure-blooded horses with the noblest bloodlines in the Northern Barbarians, and theyâre very precious. The snow mountain horse is one of them. Not only is it handsome and beautiful, but itâs also strong and agile. It runs quickly, has strong stamina, and has a strong explosive power. Most importantly, itâs very docile.â
At this point, he paused.
Then, she said, âI heard that only the most outstanding and beautiful woman in the Northern Barbarians can have the noblest and most beautiful snow mountain horse.â
The Northern Barbarians were a tribe that respected the strong and advocated strength. It was not easy to nurture the most nobles and pure-blooded horses. Only the most powerful warriors and the most beautiful women of the grassland could obtain them.
This was a symbol of status and strength.
It seemed that it was not easy to obtain this horse, and Yin Huaixi had spent a lot of effort on it.
Did Yin Huaixi giving her this snow mountain horse also mean that in his heart, she was the most outstanding and beautiful woman that was worthy of a snow mountain horse?
Yu Youyao was very happy. âItâs so beautiful! Can I touch it?â
Yin Huaixi nodded. âOf course. This is a specially trained horse. Itâs very docile. As long as you donât hurt it maliciously, it wonât hurt anyone.â
Yu Youyao hurriedly went forward to hug the horseâs head and stroke its mane. It was as smooth as she had imagined. The horse felt her love and kindness and gently rubbed against Yu Youyao.
Yu Youyao smiled. âDoes it have a name?â
âNot yet.â Yin Huaixi shook his head. âGive it a name!â
Yu Youyao gently stroked the horseâs mane and thought for a while. âLetâs call it Snow Mountain. I think this name suits it very well. After leaving the grassland, it will be the Snow Mountain that belongs to me alone, and it will no longer be the snow mountain horse of the Northern Barbarians.â
