âNo, she just asked the kitchen to send food for young missy.â The nanny shook her head.
âOh.â Mrs. Ning responded thoughtfully and asked the servants to prepare warm water and her dinner.
After Zhou Ying confirmed the Yang Residence wouldnât cause more trouble, she brought Gu Chengrui to her interspace to get busy.
The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Ying said to Gu Chengrui before he left, âRui, letâs pause our plans for the manor. I think something will happen at the Yang residence today.â
âAre you sure you want to support her?â Gu Chengrui paused and asked.
âYeah, judging by her reaction yesterday, itâs commendable. The main point is that she listened to our advice and didnât drag us down.
âOn the other hand, Yang Chenglin is still a little arrogant. He still has more to learn.â
âHe has a good personality, but heâs been spoiled by Mrs. Cui Corporation a little too much.
âBy the way, let me know in advance if thereâs any trouble. 1â11 go over directly.
âOh, bring my auntâs dowry list over too. If we need it, it could save us the trouble of making another trip.â
âAlright.â Zhou Ying nodded.
After he left, she changed into dark-colored clothes and asked Shizhu to buy some incense and food offerings.
While waiting, she extended her divine senses to look at the Yang residence.
Perhaps because they were tired from yesterdayâs commotion, everyone in the Yang Residence had just started their day.
Of course, the butler had already gathered the servants and led them, carrying shovels and firewood, to the cemetery to dig a burial pit. At the same time, he set up a simple mourning hall for those who came to mourn.
After breakfast, Yang Shicheng gathered everyone together and distributed their linen clothes for mourning. He brought Yang Chenglin and Yang Chengsen to the front yard, sitting at the entrance of the mourning hall.
Unfortunately, two hours had passed, and only the First Prince and the Marquis of Dingâanâs servants had come; they each offered a hundred taels of silver in condolences. No one else came.
Zhou Ying saw the time was almost right, so she brought Shizhu over. After entering, she wrote down her condolences in an etiquette book and offered a hundred taels of silver. After burning three incense sticks as prayer, she said to Yang Shicheng, âUncle, my condolences.â
Yang Shicheng nodded lightly and did not reply.
Yang Chenglin stood up and said, âCousin-in-law, why are you the only one here? Whereâs my Brother Rui?â
âHe said he would come over after heâs done with his work. He should be here soon.â
âIs that so? Okay, 1â11 bring you to my sister.â After Yang Chenglin finished speaking, he wanted to bring her to the back.
âItâs better to let your Mother Ning bring your cousin-in-law over. It isnât appropriate if someone comes later and you, the eldest grandson, arenât here.â Yang Shicheng raised his head and said.
âNo worries; you wait here. Iâll go to the back to look for your sister myself.â Zhou Ying gave him a look, then went out and followed Mrs. Ning to the old madamâs small courtyard.
Seeing the women waiting inside, Zhou Ying greeted them one by one. When she saw Yang Wanyu wasnât there, she deliberately asked Yang Wanning, âOh, whereâs Yang Wanyu? Sheâs supposed to be the main character today, isnât she?â
âShe said sheâs tired and would come out when itâs time to set off.â Yang Wanning blinked and replied.
She knew the real reason was that rumors and gossip about the Yang family had already spread throughout the capital this morning.
Yang Wanyu, the daughter of Mrs. Cui, was the main target of everyoneâs gossip. Words such as hypocrisy, meanness, viciousness, and ruthlessness were all directed at her.
Some even felt she was the continuation of Mrs. Cuiâs evil plans.
She was in a worse spot than Zhou Ying when the Gu family was in trouble.
Some gossip even concluded that the First Prince would break off her engagement soon, so Yang Wanyu couldnât bear it anymore and shut herself in..
