Chapter 741: Paying Double the Respect

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

When the Second Old Madam and the Clan Chiefs wife heard this, they were naturally very happy. “Good child, Brother Si is lucky to have you as his sister.”

Yu Shansi was neither a legitimate wife nor a concubine. Be it staying in the capital or returning to the clan, his days would not be easy. Yu Youyao had made such an arrangement. It was obvious that she was sincerely thinking for Yu Shansi.

Yu Shansi was a disciple of the Yu Clan, and his future also concerned the Yu Clan.

Yu Youyao had a good temperament but who knew what was wrong with Madam Yang and the jealousy Yu Jianjia had. If the two of them had stopped in time, it would not have come to this.

They were really vicious and stupid.

Yu Youyao shook her head and said, “In the future, if there’s a talented student in the clan, send me a letter. I’ll get Cousin to help arrange for him to enter the Chongshan Academy. If he’s really talented and outstanding, Mr. Xian Yun won’t mind accepting a few more.”

If someone respected them, they would double their respect for the other party. The Yu Clan was quite fair in dealing with people. It would at most take a few packets of incense medicine to recommend a few people. She believed that if someone in the Yu Clan was smart, they would understand that they should employ limited resources where they are needed most. Not everyone could catch Mr. Xian Yun’s eye.

The Second Old Madam and the Clan Chief’s wife were overjoyed.

The few of them had a heartfelt conversation and handed over all the things that needed to be dealt with to Chu Li. The matter of leaving the capital was also settled.

The merchant ship stopped on the shore.

Yu Youyao’s things were mixed with the merchant goods of the Xie Residence and loaded onto the merchant ship, in case there were too many things and others noticed something amiss.

Everything went smoothly.

Yu Youyao stood in the courtyard. The branches of the Parasol Tree were filled with yellow leaves. When the cold wind blew, the yellow leaves fell and covered the ground with fallen leaves.

Yin Huaixi had a waist-length cloak on his arm. Stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, he came over and draped the cloak over her shoulders. “It’s windy outside again. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Yu Youyao was holding a hand warmer. “This Parasol Tree was transplanted from the manor by my mother back then. My mother has passed away, and I’m leaving. I don’t know if I’ll return in the future. This tree…”

She felt a little reluctant.

This Parasol Tree carried her longing for her mother. After moving into the Jade Courtyard, she especially liked to stay under the Parasol Tree. It also carried too many beautiful memories between her and Yin Huaixi.

They played the zither under the tree, made tea and burned incense, played chess, took naps, read, practiced calligraphy, laughed, and played…

He was in every frame.

However, no matter how reluctant she was, she did not want to leave what her mother had left behind in the Yu Residence. “Let’s cut it down!”

The Green Parasol Tree was not young anymore. It might not be able to grow in a new place.

Yin Huaixi was also reluctant. “I’ll look for a few old farmers who are good at planting trees and see if I can break a few branches. I’ll try to cut them off to plant new trees. Perhaps they can still be planted.”

The predecessors planted trees and the future generations took advantage of the shade.

In the future, his descendants would be able to enjoy the shade under the tree.

Just thinking about it made her feel very happy.

Yu Youyao nodded. “There’s no need to work so hard. It’s fine if it doesn’t work.’

Yin Huaixi nodded. “What do you want to do with the wood of the Parasol Tree?”

Other than making musical instruments, the Parasol Tree was not a high-grade material for furniture because its wood was easily deformed.

Yu Youyao said, “Third Sister Song, Sixth Sister Qi, and Fifth Sister Tang all know how to play the zither. Let’s give them a portion of the tree that’s most suitable for making the zither. Keep the remaining wood for now. We’ll talk about it when we need it in the future.’

Seeing that she had no other arrangements for the Parasol Tree, Yin Huaixi felt that it was a pity that such good material was left there. He said, “It’s not bad to make a small wooden box out of the Parasol Tree Wood. I’ll make a few different makeup boxes for you. You can use them interchangeably. I will even make a few jewelry boxes for you. However, you might have to wait for a while.’

Yu Youyao was pleasantly surprised. “I’m not in a hurry to use them. Make them at your own time.”

Yin Huaixi nodded. “The wind is getting stronger and stronger outside. Let’s go in.”

Yu Youyao nodded and entered the house with Yin Huaixi.

Almost everything in the Jade Courtyard had been packed, and the room seemed a little empty. In order to show that its owner was only leaving for a while, some ordinary but exquisite things had been replaced in the Treasure Pavilion.

As it was Old Madam Yu’s mourning period, everything had to be simple, so these things did not seem out of place.

In the future, this courtyard would most likely be empty.

Not to mention that she still had the surname of the Yu Clan and this courtyard had been built with the money of the first wife and the residence that Matriarch had personally given her. Just based on the fact that she was also conferred the title of County Head of Shaoyi, no one in the entire Yu Residence dared to snatch the residence of the County Head.

The clan would not sit back and do nothing.

The next day, Yu Youyao instructed Xia Tao to go to the Second Mansion to look for Madam Yao. She only said, “Our Eldest Miss will leave the capital tomorrow morning on the Xie family’s merchant ship. She invites the young masters and young misses of the family to gather.”

Madam Yao’s face was cold, but she did not say anything.

Xia Tao stood respectfully and waited for Second Madam to respond.

Nanny Qian gave Madam a look. Seeing that Madam did not respond, she secretly tugged at her sleeve.

Even if Second Madam was dissatisfied with Eldest Miss, she shouldn’t show it here.

The young masters and young misses of the Second Mansion treated Eldest Miss well. If Eldest Miss wanted to go to Quanzhou, they had to go over and have a chat because they were siblings.

Madam Yao finally came back to her senses and nodded coldly.

She said nothing else.

Xia Tao quickly told her the time before leaving respectfully.

As soon as Xia Tao left, Nanny Qian said, “Why do you have to compete with a dead person? Even if you knew back then that Master had someone else in his heart, such a good mannered man who could marry a princess was in front of you. Would you not marry him?”

Madam Yao held her breath. When a woman from a wealthy family got married, she not only chose her family background, character, and appearance, but also her future.

Before Yu Zongshen, her family had also taken a fancy to many people for her, but none of them could compare to him. Back then, when she was engaged to Yu Zongshen, it shattered the hearts of countless women.

Nanny Qian continued, “You think that Second Master doesn’t care about you, but take a look at the entire capital. Which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? There’s still a bunch of concubines at home. Even if he has feelings for you today and is interested, how long can this relationship last? There are many families that dote on concubines and ignore their wives. Ms. Ye is a rare talented woman in the world. She’s a dignified woman of a noble family, but she’s reduced to being a female teacher in our family.” Madam Yao’s heart skipped a beat as she thought of her parents.

Her father had also taken in two beautiful concubines in his backyard. Although he did not dote on them more than his wife, her father was ultimately more concerned about the young and beautiful concubines.

Should she be glad that Yu Zongshen did not dote on other women more than his wife?

Even though he would only step into the backyard a few times in a month?

Nanny Qian sighed softly. “One will pay their dues and get what they deserve..

Which daughter-in-law hasn’t endured it?”
