Chapter 714: Dedicated to You

Her “unbearable” and “dirty” background was an unspeakable humiliation to Song Mingzhao and the entire Zhengno Marquis Residence.
However, her marriage with Song Mingzhao had been arranged by her elders. The two Matriarchs who had been involved had already pa.s.sed away and tied a dead knot in this marriage.
The Zhenguo Marquis Residence was also a family that cared about their reputation, so they couldn’t do something like “reneging the marriage”. That would mean going against elders and being heartless. They could only pinch their noses and admit in an aggrieved manner that Song Mingzhao had to marry her.
Song Mingzhao was a prodigy and cared about Yu Jianjia. How could he tolerate marrying a woman with an “unbearable” and “dirty” background?
No other man could accept it.
In Song Mingzhao’s opinion, she had an “unbearable” background, s.n.a.t.c.hed Yu Jianjia’s position as the first wife and reduced the woman he loved to a second wife.
She owed Yu Jianjia.
The best outcome for someone with an “unbearable” and “dirty” background like her was to secretly “die of illness” at home and not live well in the world.
Letting her be Yu Jianjia’s blood medicinal catalyst to save her life could be considered an eye for an eye. It was considered benevolent to let her live for a few more years.
It was suitable and reasonable.
Therefore, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence did not care about her and indulged Song Mingzhao’s evil actions.
Where was Yu Zongshen?
Now that Matriarch had pa.s.sed away, he must have returned to the clan to mourn. Without the emperor’s summons, unless the three-year mourning was up, he couldn’t return to the capital casually.
Madam Yao, who was in the capital, hated her so much. Why would she care about her?
This was the entire story of the older Yao Yao’s misery in the nightmare.
Yin Huaixi had also thought of this. He held her hand. It was soft, but wet and cold. “It’s fine. It’s just a nightmare after all.”
“l feel like it was really just a dream now…” Yu Youyao closed her eyes again. As soon as she closed them, she felt a dry and stinging pain in her eyes.
This time, Yin Huaixi was not in a hurry to leave.
Indeed!
As soon as her tense mind relaxed, Yu Youyao’s temples hurt terribly. “If I’m seriously ill one day and need human blood as a catalyst, will you lock an innocent woman up in a shabby courtyard like Song Mingzhao and cruelly raise her into a blood medicinal catalyst?”
She did not know much about Song Mingzhao.
After interacting with him, she couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. Although Song Mingzhao wasn’t very magnanimous, he was still a gentleman and wasn’t as crazy as in her nightmare.
Yin Huaixi’s gaze was deep. “In essence, Song Mingzhao and I are actually the same kind of people.”
Yu Youyao’s eyes widened, and they were bloodshot. She looked very haggard. “What do you mean? Would you really this?” Her voice was angry and anxious, and her face was flushed. Her hoa.r.s.e voice rose a little, making her look extremely angry. “Yin Huaixi, I won’t allow it.”
“Don’t be angry.” Yin Huaixi held her hand and said gently, “If you don’t allow it, I won’t do it.’
Yu Youyao was stunned. “Tell me clearly, what do you mean?”
“Whether I do this or not depends on you.” Yin Huaixi’s lips curled up. “You’re devoted to kindness, and I’m devoted to you. I won’t do anything you don’t
Song Mingzhao would only do something so cruel because Yu Jianjia wanted to.
A man would easily change his stance or even his principles for a woman. His eyes, ears, mouth, and heart would be deceived. He would see what he wanted to see and have selective hearing. The so-called right and wrong would become insignificant. It was no different from being possessed! When he met a good person, he would become a better person.
When he met a bad person, he would become bad.
His father had met her mother and become better.
Song Mingzhao had become bad when he met Yu Jianjia.
He was lucky to have met Yu Youyao. Everything was getting better.
Yu Youyao finally heaved a sigh of relief and emphasized again, “l don’t like it, so Cousin, you’re not allowed to do it.”
With that, she felt that something was amiss.
If you don’t allow it, I won’t do it!
You’re devoted to kindness, and I’m devoted to you!
I won’t do anything you don’t like!
Yin Huaixi’s words suddenly echoed in her ears. A strange emotion suddenly surged in Yu Youyao’s heart. There was a hint of jealousy. It was like the green plum fruit she had eaten in the past. After taking a bite, the sourness spread in her mouth and rushed to her face. Her face felt slightly hot. When the sourness gradually subsided, there was a hint of sweetness lingering. There was a fragrance on her teeth and cheeks. The fruit was sweet to the core.
Therefore, she used to like eating green plum fruits very much.
Yu Youyao suddenly closed her eyes and turned around. With her back facing him, she said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “I’m sleepy!’
The little girl’s thin back was gently arched, like a small shrimp. It was curled up, and her round shoulders were trembling slightly, making her look delicate and beautiful. A fair jade-like neck was exposed, looking flawless. Her black hair was pushed aside, and her ears were red.
Yin Huaixi said in a low voice, “Sleep!”
Exhaustion surged from the bottom of her heart. Only then did Yu Youyao vaguely remember how much had happened yesterday.
Yu Jianjia was sick. Hui Xiang had sent Old Madam Lai out of the residence. Madam Yang had planned to ruin her birth mother’s reputation and question her background. Nanny Li had b.u.mped into the corner of the table and disappeared. Yu Zongzheng had rushed into An Shou Hall, and her grandmother was furious.
Madam Yang was divorced, Divine Physician Xie was detained, and Yu Jianjia’s hair was cut and she was to be sent back to the clan!
Her cousin was back.
Her grandmother had pa.s.sed away.
Lying on the couch, her mind was filled with her grandmother’s love for her in the past. The more she wanted to fall asleep, the less she could.
Yin Huaixi seemed to know that she was in low spirits and tense, so he stayed by her side and kept patting her shoulder. Unknowingly, her mind was distracted by the gentle pats. Her breathing slowly became slow and long, and she fell asleep at some point.
In a daze, she seemed to have dreamed again that the older Yao Yao was locked up in a broken small courtyard called the Frost Residence and had her blood extracted with needles.
There was an osmanthus tree planted in front of the courtyard. When the osmanthus flowers bloomed, the courtyard was filled with fragrance. The branches of the osmanthus flowers quietly poked into the courtyard wall. The older Yao Yao liked to sit on the stone steps in the courtyard and look at the strings of golden osmanthus flowers on the branches. They were small, cute, bright, and elegant. They were the only vivid colors in the lonely courtyard.
In the past, she had always felt an uncontrollable sense of despair. This time, those desperate images had changed.
She was no longer the older Yao Yao who was locked up in a shabby small courtyard and at the mercy of others.
Instead, she stood in a courtyard called the Tranquil Heart Residence and looked down at the vicious and smug Madam Yang. She crawled at her feet and cursed in despair.
The “pure and kind” Yu Jianjia was pressed to the cold ground. Her long hair was cut, and she whimpered helplessly and begged for mercy.
The sinister and vicious Divine Physician Xie was tied up like a dumpling, waiting for his final judgment…
