With that, he couldn’t help but glance at Eldest Miss Yu.
Eldest Miss Yu sat beside Old Madam Yu, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. He looked at it carefully. That smile was light and beautiful, making him happy. It was faint and clear, and the smile did not reach her eyes.
Old Madam Yu shook her head and smiled. “Since you’re fine, let’s stop talking about these bad things. Don’t say thank you. You called me Grandmother Yu, and I’ve been watching you grow up since you were young. Naturally, I hope that you’ll be well. Now that you’re fine, I feel relieved.”
These words were not completely polite, and they were sincere.
Even though Song Mingzhao was indifferent, he couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat. “Grandmother Song, you’re right. However, Mingzhao has accepted Eldest Miss’s life-saving grace. We have to thank her.”
Old Madam Yu waved her hand.
However, Yu Youyao said, “Heir Song, you don’t have to be so polite. Although
I was the one who made the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, since I gave it to Grandmother, it belongs to her. It’s also Grandmother’s own wish to give it away. I naturally don’t dare to take credit. As for the favor of saving your life, it’s too much. Heir Song, please don’t mention it again in the future.”
The Zhenguo Marquis Residence’s favor could be acknowledged, but there was no need to raise it to the level of saving his life. In case it was unclear with Song Mingzhao, it was better to make it clear early on.
Her casual words would cut the connection with Song Mingzhao.
Song Mingzhao felt suffocated for no reason. “Although I’m not talented, I can still distinguish between gratitude and grudges. However, Eldest Miss is unwilling to take credit. I naturally accept your kindness.”
In other words, it was her business whether she admitted it or not.
At this point, Yu Youyao also felt sick of it.
Old Madam Yu tilted her head to look at her granddaughter and changed the topic. She asked Song Mingzhao, “How’s your grandmother’s health recently?”
Song Mingzhao nodded. “It was also Eldest Miss Yu who recommended a very capable female doctor nanny to Third Sister. She recuperated carefully for a few days and her health improved every day.”
The female doctor nanny used to work in the Imperial Pharmacy with Nanny Xu, who was by Eldest Miss Yu’s side.
If it weren’t for Nanny Xu’s recommendation, it wouldn’t have been easy to hire such a powerful and reliable female doctor nanny. Since he was here today, he naturally had to mention it.
As soon as she spoke, Yao Yao was implicated. Old Madam Yu couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Song Mingzhao. “That’s great. When you’re old, you have to recuperate carefully.”
After that, Song Mingzhao chatted with Old Madam Yu for a while.
Yu Youyao did not interrupt and only sat and listened.
About an hour later, Song Mingzhao excused himself, saying that he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Old Madam Yu turned to her granddaughter and said, “Send Mingzhao off for
me.”
Yu Youyao replied in a low voice, “Yes.” Then, she stood up and walked up to
Song Mingzhao. She said politely, “Heir Song, please.”
The two of them left An Shou Hall one after another without saying a word.
Song Mingzhao deliberately slowed down, but Yu Youyao was still a step behind him.
Song Mingzhao felt frustrated and suddenly stopped walking.
Yu Youyao stopped a step behind him and called out politely, “Heir Song?
Song Mingzhao took a deep breath and turned around. “I think the scenery of the Yu Residence along the way is not bad, so I’ll have to trouble Eldest Miss Yu to bring me around.”
Ever since he was young, his father had sent him to the Precious Peace Temple to study in peace. There were many people from the Yu Residence, but every time, they would come over to visit their elders. He had really never walked around in the Yu Residence.
Yu Youyao was unwilling, but she couldn’t refuse.
Just as she was about to agree, she saw Yu Jianjia walking over in small steps
Dressed in a soft and glossy pearl brocade, she was so fair that she looked noble and elegant. Under the sunlight, she looked delicate and beautiful.
Yu Youyao swallowed the words she was about to say.
Seeing her strange expression, Song Mingzhao turned to take a look.
Yu Jianjia had already approached. She bent down slightly, making her figure look even more slender and delicate. “Jia Jia greets Eldest Sister.” She looked up at Song Mingzhao and greeted him gently, “Hello, Heir Song!’
Her voice was gentle and mellow, but Song Mingzhao looked at Yu Youyao. “This is?”
He knew that other than Yu Youyao, there were two other young misses of the same age in the main branch of the Yu Residence. He did not know which one of them here.
Yu Jianjia’s body stiffened, and she immediately did not know how to react.
The Song and Yu families were close friends. Although Song Mingzhao did not come to the Yu Residence often, with the close relationship between the two families, it was impossible for him not to recognize her!
Even Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment. Her deepest impression of Song
Mingzhao was still in her nightmare. Song Mingzhao had gone crazy for Yu
Jianjia.
However, in reality, Yu Jianjia was standing in front of him, and he actually did not recognize her!
Yu Youyao was a little stunned. “This is my third sister. As her body is a little weak, she’s raised in the house and rarely comes out to see anyone. Therefore, Heir Song doesn’t recognize her.”
Everyone knew that Yu Jianjia’s body was weak. It was obvious after asking around. Moreover, she did not care about it and often dressed up as sickly. Initially, she had only said those words out of goodwill to help Yu Jianjia out. However, when Yu Jianjia heard them, she felt that Yu Youyao had ill intentions and had deliberately said that her health was not good in front of Heir Song.
Yu Jianjia lowered her eyes.
Song Mingzhao’s expression was indifferent. “Third Miss, greetings.”
Just as Yu Jianjia was about to open her mouth to chat with Song Mingzhao, he had already turned to look at Yu Youyao. He was about to mention walking around the Yu Residence again.
Yu Youyao was the first to smile and say, “There are still many things to do at home, so I will ask my third sister to bring you around the residence. Please don’t blame me for not entertaining you well.”
Song Mingzhao’s expression darkened.
He knew that Yu Youyao’s stepmother was seriously ill. Now that she was in charge of the Yu Residence, it was understandable for her to use the excuse of being busy. However, was Yu Youyao really busy and did not have time to bring him around the Yu Residence, or she was unwilling at all…
Although she did not understand what Yu Youyao was up to, she was still very willing to bring Song Mingzhao around the residence.
At the thought of this, Yu Jianjia added, “Grandmother is old, and Mother is seriously ill. Eldest Sister has to manage all the big and small matters, so she’s very busy. If Heir Song doesn’t mind, I’ll…”
Halfway through his sentence, Song Mingzhao suddenly felt frustrated. He did not even look at Yu Jianjia, who was looking at him sincerely and beautifully, as he stared at Yu Youyao without blinking.
‘Eldest Miss Yu, can we talk in private?”
Yu Jianjia’s face turned pale, and her lips couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
The Derson who had looked delicate iust now immediatelv swaved and looked sickly and pitiful.
She was standing in front of Song Mingzhao.
However, Song Mingzhao acted as if he couldn’t see her.
It was fine if he hadn’t recognized her just now. After all, although she had seen Song Mingzhao a few times, she had never known him personally..
