Chapter 561: Heartbroken!

But now, Song Mingzhao looked at the faint smile on Zhou Linghuai’s lips, as if he was showing off.

It was really dazzling!

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Cousin is meticulous. Ever since she entered the Yu Residence, she has been taking good care of me. It’s all thanks to her meticulously nourishing my body that my health is getting better day by day.” These words sounded a little harsh.

Just as he finished glaring at him, Song Mingzhao felt a little hurt and couldn’t stand it anymore. “We’re already at the door. Young Master Zhou, you’re not feeling well, so there’s no need to send me off. I’ll take my leave first and visit

another day.”

Zhou Linghuai smiled. “In that case, Heir Song, do as you please.”

Zhou Linghuai only returned to An Shou Hall after watching Song Mingzhao leave. He instructed Old Madam Yu and went to the Jade Courtyard without returning to The Green House.

Although the school was located in the Second Mansion, Song Mingzhao entered and left the Second Mansion every day. He came over often to greet his grandmother.

At the thought that she might see Song Mingzhao often in the next month, Yu Youyao felt terrible.

She kept a respectful distance from Song Mingzhao not out of disgust or prejudice. A large part of it was because that nightmare was too strange and even involved reality.

Sometimes, she even had the illusion that reality would be like a nightmare.

Perhaps it was because the dream was too real) and everything that the older

Yao Yao had experienced in the nightmare was too painful. Every time she saw Song Mingzhao, she couldn’t help but think of the scene in the nightmare. She kept feeling suffocated and uncomfortable.

“Sigh—” Yu Youyao rested her chin on her hand and sighed softly.

“Why are you sighing at such a young age?” Seeing her daze, Zhou Linghuai couldn’t help but chuckle. He knew very well why the little girl was sighing.

Yu Youyao looked up and pouted. “Cousin, if I use the excuse of planting sweet potatoes in the manor to suggest to Grandmother that I want to stay in the manor for a while, will Grandmother agree?

Actually, she was quite envious of Yu Jianjia.

In the past two years, Yu Jianjia would only return to the residence for a while during the holidays. Most of the time, she was recuperating in the manor and did not have any elders keeping an eye on her. Her days were peaceful and comfortable.

The last time she had seen Yu Jianjia was during the Qingming Festival.

Yu Jianjia was clearly a few months behind her in terms of growth. Her figure had grown, but she was on par with her.

She was still slender and weak. When she spoke, she spoke gently, but she no longer looked sick. She looked pure and beautiful. Anyone who saw her would pity her.

It was said that if she used her brain too much, she wouldn’t grow taller. She wasn’t as tall as Yu Jianjia, and she was about to surpass her in terms of height!

Just thinking about it made her feel vexed!

Zhou Linghuai couldn’t help but laugh. “How can this residence lack you?

Although Concubine Jiang was in charge of the family now, Yu Youyao’ s status as the head of the family could not be shaken. Yu Youyao did not care about the trivial matters at home, but the power of the household manager was in her hands.

Yu Youyao’s face fell and she sighed. “I also know that it’s unlikely. I was just saying.”

Actually, Yu Youyao couldn’t figure it out.

The Yu Residence did not have many people to begin with. Only Yu Zongzheng and Second Uncle often said that since their parents were not separated, the Yu Residence should not be divided.

Why had Grandmother immediately divided the family after Yu Zongzheng and Second Uncle got married?

Was it really because Yu Zongzheng and Second Uncle were both officials in the court?

This reason was not enough. It was a little inconsistent with her grandmother’s style.

As long as one looked at the messy matters of the first branch in the past two to three years and the various drawbacks of the family because there were fewer people, they could tell that there were many problems.

This was a good family, but it was managed by a half-grown child. Now, the task of appearing outside actually fell on a concubine.

Although according to the rules, this was not impossible as etiquette was ultimately not the law.

Her grandmother had always been smart, so it was impossible for her not to have thought of many things.

Yu Youyao felt that the separation of the family was not that simple. Previously, she had also asked her grandmother, and her grandmother had only said calmly, “Children don’t have to listen to their mothers when they grow up.”

It was as if Yu Zongzheng and Second Uncle had asked to split up.

However, Yu Youyao still felt that it was inappropriate. The separation of the family depended on her grandmother. As long as her grandmother did not agree to the separation, Yu Zongzheng and Second Uncle would not say anything out of filial piety!

Look at the Zhenguo Marquis Residence The four families lived together.

Was it because the families did not want to split up?

How could that be? Who wouldn’t want to live their lives behind closed doors on their own?

It was the Marquis of Zhenguo, Old Madam Song, who had suppressed the separation of the family.

As long as he said that he would only split the family up after he died, no one would dare to say anything. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.

At the thought of this, Yu Youyao sighed softly. “If only the Yu Residence hadn’t split up. Second Aunt is in charge of the family. Even if the sky falls, it won’t be my turn. There are elders at home. Even if I want to go to the manor to stay for a few days, as long as I have someone by my side, Grandmother will agree.”

Other young misses would be brought out for a walk by the elders in the family from time to time. Occasionally, when they patrolled the manor, they would also bring them along. As they taught them how to do things, they would be brought out to relax. It was usually during the holidays. With the family members making appropriate arrangements, they could even be brought out to have fun.

For Yu Jianjia to be able to go to the manor, it was one thing for her health to be poor. Most importantly, she had a grandmother at home to make sure everything was run well.

However, when it came to her turn, she could forget about it.

In the past two years, she could occasionally go out because she was the household manager. However, as there were no elders following her, it was not appropriate for her to stay outside for long.

After finishing her business, she returned to the residence.

Zhou Linghuai’s gaze darkened. “I suddenly thought of the small residence in the manor. Is it because Song Mingzhao is coming to the residence to learn from Mr. Hu Shan?”

Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat. She hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Yes. ”

Although she had never mentioned the nightmare to her cousin, she had kept a respectful distance from Song Mingzhao and did not deliberately hide it from him. Her cousin could guess that something was wrong, but he had never asked her.

Zhou Linghuai frowned.

Yu Youyao felt guilty and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Her evasive attitude was obvious that she did not want to mention Song Mingzhao anymore. Zhou Linghuai’s gaze darkened. “Did Song Mingzhao go overboard with his words and actions towards you previously?”

He recalled that when he went to Shandong to quell the rebellion previously, Yin San had heard that Song Mingzhao and Yu Youyao had once parted on bad terms for some reason.

Could it be related to this?

However, with Song Mingzhao’s personality, he did not seem like a rude person.

Every time he came to the Yu Residence and saw Yu Youyao, be it openly or using tea to hide his expression, his eyes revealed a deep and restrained gaze.

He was most familiar with such gazes.

He obviously liked her very much secretly. He couldn’t help but look at her with restraint and forbearance. He was worried that he would be rude, and even more worried that he would be rash..
