Chun Xiao said, “There are a total of ten people here. In addition to the Clan Chief and First Madam, the two elders, Old Granduncle and Fifth Granduncle, are also coming over. Second Old Madam and Fifth Old Madam have also brought a few clan aunts and uncles to help deal with the funeral.”
When Yu Youyao heard this, she knew that the clan took her grandmother’s funeral very seriously.
The current elder of the clan was Yu Shande’s father. Eldest Madam was the wife of the clan. The couple handled matters fairly and were very prestigious in the Yu Clan.
Her old great-uncle was respected and a true grand elder of the clan. He was already starting to not be involved in the clan’s matters.
Fifth Granduncle was in charge of the clan school. He was the great-uncle of the Yu Residence in the capital. He did not have a branch yet and was the closest to the Yu Residence’s bloodline. Fifth Granduncle and his wife were all here,
The Second Old Madam was talented and very prestigious in the clan. She was in charge of all the matters related to weddings and funerals in the clan.
Yu Youyao nodded. “Get the small kitchen to prepare some light and nourishing medicinal cuisine. The elders in the clan are exhausted because of our family. We can’t torture their bodies.”
Chun Xiao said, “Young Master has invited Nanny Xu to help out in the small kitchen. He said that it’s to entertain the elders.’
The rest was handed over to the main kitchen.
Yu Youyao was stunned, suddenly not knowing what to do.
Chun Xiao smiled and said, ‘Young Miss, don’t worry. Young Master has already arranged everything that needs to be arranged. I guarantee that there won’t be any mistakes. You have to be careful first.”
The funeral lasted for many days, and there were still many tiring tasks in the future. Matriarch doted on Young Miss the most, and Young Miss was the eldest daughter of the first wife. It would definitely not be easy in the future.
Young Master was also worried about Young Miss, so he took the initiative to do everything he could.
If he did more, Young Miss would do less and work less. Yu Youyao nodded and smiled. “Let’s go out for dinner!”
Chun Xiao led Young Miss to the corridor.
At this moment, it was already seven o’clock. The sun had just risen and the light was bright. There was dew on the flowers and trees, and the air was slightly cold and wet. It was refreshing.
Yin Huaixi sat under the corridor and watched Yu Youyao walk over.
Her neck collar complemented her long neck, revealing her fair skin. Her waist was lightly tightened and it made her look soft and gentle.
Her slender wrists were exposed.
The morning was humid. The servants were worried that she would wear thin clothes and catch a cold, so they draped a wide piece of cloth that was as thin as a pair of beautiful wings around her. Although it was thin, it could block the wind. It was lightly pulled to the side. When she walked, it was elegant and light, like the wind brushing against willow vines.
It matched her figure.
She was very charming!
She really wanted to be beautiful and filial.
Yin Huaixi realized that obtaining Old Madam Yu’s token had also fueled his lust.
The delusions, infatuation, and greed that he had usually restrained in his heart seemed to have suddenly been released. Suddenly, a small crack appeared in the door. He stood behind the crack and squeezed his eyes to look out through the small crack. The matters of the men and women that should be hidden suddenly became clear in his eyes.
What he was paying attention to was no longer what the little girl used to dye her eyebrows or lipstick. These were all about outward appearances.
Instead, he thought about a kiss that was branded between her eyebrows. How lingering would it be? How fragrant, soft, and beautiful would her lips taste? Her slender figure would be soft and fragrant in his arms.
He couldn’t help but admire her figure!
Yin Huaixi took a deep breath in the morning and instructed the servants to set the table.
Yu Youyao restrained her dress and sat opposite Yin Huaixi. “Yesterday, I was so focused on being sad that I forgot. Cousin, it’s been hard on you to travel for a few days in a row. After breakfast, Cousin, go to the front courtyard and find a house to rest your eyes. When someone from the clan comes, I’ll send someone to inform you.”
Yu Youyao sat down, her silk draped over her shoulders. She was quiet and graceful. Yin Huaixi couldn’t help but take a few more glances. When he reacted, he immediately restrained his eyes and nodded distractedly.
Perhaps because they had been separated for a long time, he always wanted to stay with her. He always wanted to look at her. When he saw her, he always wanted to take a closer look. After seeing her, he always wanted to evaluate if she had lost weight, if she had grown taller, or if she had grown shorter.
In particular, after obtaining Matriarch’s token, he was feeling smug. Her couldn’t help but look at her and become impudent.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
He couldn’t think about it anymore.
Seeing his perfunctory attitude, Yu Youyao pretended that he hadn’t heard her. “Didn’t Grandmother leave immediately? It wasn’t good yesterday afternoon, so 1 kept watch until Grandmother passed away. Such a long time is enough for me to be mentally prepared. The time when I was most sad has passed. A dead person can’t be revived. After a night of calming down, I’ve already accepted the reality of Grandmother’s death.”
Her grandmother had passed away in peace. The most regretful thing was that she could not let go of her mother’s death.
“I’ll listen to you and rest after breakfast.” Seeing that her eyes were red again, Yin Huaixi felt his scalp go numb. “Don’t cry anymore. It’s said that women are made of water. Your tears can’t help but flow like this.”
Ever since she returned to the residence yesterday, her tears had almost never stopped flowing. Her eyes were still swollen. She did not know how the maidservant in front of her served her, but why did she not know how to apply ice on them?
Yu Youyao burst out laughing, and the tears in her eyes disappeared. “What I mean is, don’t just worry about me. You have to take care of your health too. If your body is damaged, I’ll be worried too.”
Yin Huaixi heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Chun Xiao brought the servants to set the table.
In the small kitchen, he was worried that she wouldn’t have a good appetite.
There was a lot of dishes for breakfast. He had prepared porridge, bird’s nest soup, red dates and silver fungus soup, soup dumplings, crystal dumplings, and so on.
There was a pot of white jade ginseng medicinal cuisine,
In addition, he had also prepared a lot of snacks. There were a few that she had eaten in the palace previously, such as pine nuts and lilies, egg fragrance pastry, sesame cake, and so on.
The recipes had been given to Yu Youyao by the Empress Dowager. Yu Youyao had seen them long ago. The snacks were delicious, but the method was too complicated.
Even if she liked them, she couldn’t eat them often.
Chun Xiao quickly said, “Auntie Xu is busy in the small kitchen before dawn.
Miss, you have to eat more.”
Yu Youyao was very touched.
Yin Huaixi scooped a bowl of milky white jade ginseng and placed it in front of her. “The milky white jade ginseng is light and nourishing. You haven’t eaten anything seriously all day yesterday. Have a bowl of soup first to moisten your internal organs.”
Yu Youyao still did not have a good appetite, so Yin Huaixi coaxed her to eat some.
Yin Huaixi did not force her. The medicinal cuisine in the small kitchen was always prepared well. Every two hours, she could drink some soup and eat some food.
After breakfast, Yin Huaixi went to rest.
Yu Youyao went to the front hall. The front hall had already been turned into a mourning hall. There were a few long benches in the middle, and her grandmother’s longevity coffin was placed on them..
