Chapter 140 - : Miracle Doctor

The old woman shook her head and dragged Yu Qingning away. “Fourth Miss, you have to stop. You’re learning the rules of the Hanlu Academy, but you don’t know that Eldest Master trusts Eldest Miss. Even if First Madam takes over again, all the matters in the study were handed over to Eldest Miss. Even if you make a fuss until Eldest Master is around, will Eldest Master still stand up for you? Don’t anger Eldest Master. Nanny Jin will stay in the residence from now on.”

To be honest, Fourth Miss was really outrageous.

After learning the rules from the nanny, she was still so disrespectful to her eldest sister. She even shouted, not knowing the difference between the first and second wives. What good was there in going against Eldest Miss like this other than suffering?

Eldest Miss was a magnanimous person. In her eyes, there was no difference between the first and second wife. There was only the relationship of sisters. The second, fifth, and sixth daughters of the second family had been taken care of by Eldest Miss a lot.

It was also because Fourth Miss did not see the situation clearly.

When Yu Qingning heard this, it was as if she had been struck by lightning. “How is that possible…”

Even though Yu Youyao knew how to manage the household, it was also her grandmother who guided her from behind. The servants also doted on her because of her grandmother, so they also flattered her and fawned on her, right?

She knew Yu Youyao well!

She was so stupid. How could she really have the ability to manage a family?

The main study was an important place in the Yu Residence. It was where her father dealt with official matters of the imperial court and discussed matters with his aides. Why had her father handed such an important place to a half-grown child like Yu Youyao?

How was that possible?

No matter how good a child was at managing his family, could she compare to her mother?

She had heard from the servants that her father was very satisfied with Yu Youyao and had praised her a few times. She did not expect her father to think so highly of her too.

When they arrived at the Hanlu Courtyard, the old servant looked for Nanny Jin. “Eldest Miss said that Fourth Miss hasn’t learned the rules well, so I’ll have to trouble Nanny Jin to stay in the residence and teach Fourth Miss more.”

When Nanny Jin heard this, she beamed. “Of course. I’ll definitely teach Fourth Miss well.”

She knew that this Eldest Miss of the Yu Residence was not an ordinary person. She did things beautifully. It was a rare occasion for Yu Qingning to come out and meet Eldest Miss Yu, and then cause trouble with her. That was why this had happened.

Eldest Miss Yu had gained face in the residence and the honor of being the eldest daughter of the first wife. Other than being filial, her status in the residence was not lower than Eldest Madam Yang’s.

Eldest Miss Yu had even gained Eldest Master Yu’s trust, so she was even more extraordinary.

Naturally, she was happy to listen to Eldest Miss Yu.

She usually walked around the various families in the capital. It was rare to see such a generous and quiet main family like the Yu Residence. It was also a good thing to stay for a few more days.

After the old woman left the Hanlu Courtyard, Nanny Jin heard Yu Qingning making a fuss. “That b*tch, Yu Youyao, I’ll never forgive her.”

Nanny Jin shook her head.

Yu Qingning, the daughter of a concubine, had been raised by Eldest Madam Yang as the daughter of the first wife, but she was overshadowed by Yu Youyao.

Eldest Madam Yang did not think that such a noisy concubine’s daughter would cause trouble from time to time. In the future, she would suffer in the inner courtyard, and sooner or later, the effects would spill over on her.

At this moment, Old Madam Yu also knew that Yu Youyao had sent Yu Qingning back to the Hanlu Courtyard. She had even asked Nanny Jin to teach her the rules for two more months. She nodded and said, “It’s because it’s not easy for her to learn the rules, so I asked her to go out and walk around. Since she hasn’t improved, it’s better for her to learn more.”

When Yang Shuwan heard this, she frowned. She did not like Yu Youyao making decisions on her own, but when she thought about how busy the residence was today and how she was worried that Yu Qingning would cause trouble, she did not say anything.

In the past, she used to think that Yu Qingning’s personality was highly praised by her. She always went against Yu Youyao and made her and Jia Jia get along well.

But now, Yu Youyao had improved. It was easy for her to control Yu Qingning, but Yu Qingning’s noisy personality also revealed her lack of responsibility as a legitimate mother.

If she wanted her to learn the rules, so be it. Otherwise, she would be a nuisance.

Yu Youyao did not take this episode to heart. When she arrived at the Green House, she took the wooden tray from Xia Tao and went to the study alone to look for her cousin.

Zhou Linghuai held the Kunwu Knife and was carving on the zither. The carved wood had gradually taken on the shape of a zither after his meticulous work over the past few days.

The door wasn’t closed, so Yu Youyao stood outside and stuck her head in sneakily.

A smile appeared on Zhou Linghuai’s lips. He put down the Kunwu Knife and gently brushed away the broken wood chips on his body. He looked up at the door. “Why aren’t you coming in?”

Hearing her cousin’s words, Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up. She quickly carried the wooden tray into the room and said happily, “I’m just worried that I’ll disturb you, Cousin. Didn’t you say before that the zither making technique is complicated? If there’s a mistake in any of the steps, all your efforts will be in vain!”

Zhou Linghuai glanced at the wooden tray in her hand, and the smile in his eyes suddenly deepened. “You came at the right time. Come and see if you like this zither structure. If you don’t like it, I can change it.”

Yu Youyao placed the wooden tray on a round table not far away and quickly walked over to take a closer look.

It was actually the structure of a phoenix tail. Its head was lowered, making it look slender and graceful. The body of the zither was shaped like a nine-feathered tail. There were a total of eight tail feathers carved on the middle, right, and left. There were four feathers on each side, symmetrical and complementing each other. At the end of the tail was the longest tail feather. The tail feathers were lowered, complementing the phoenix head.

It was a Nine-feathered Phoenix Tail.

Yu Youyao felt that it was strange, but on careful thought, the zither was an elegant item, and the methods used to make it were also strange. Many famous zithers were mostly modeled after dragons and phoenixes. If they were made correctly, they wouldn’t be commented on by others. Her cousin wouldn’t have not considered this.

At the thought of this, Yu Youyao felt relieved. She smiled brightly. “I like whatever Cousin does.”

If anyone else had said such words, he might have felt that it was perfunctory, but the little girl was sincere. Zhou Linghuai nodded. “In that case, let’s do it this way.”

It was fine if she saw the incomplete zither.

He wouldn’t show it to her again until it was completed in the future. Otherwise, how could there be a surprise?

Yu Youyao nodded and ran to the table to bring over a wooden tray. “Cousin, the clothes that I made for you previously were sent over by the Jinxiu Manor first. Take a closer look. One is moon-white, and the other is black. The moon-white color is used for regular clothes, and you can wear the light-colored clothes at home. Cousin, you’re young, so you can’t always wear green clothes.”
