Chapter 408: Heir Song’s Goodwill


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Everyone treated her with the same respect as Old Madam Yu.


As time pa.s.sed, everyone, including Yu Zongzheng, naturally treated her as an adult.


But no one noticed that she was just a ten-year-old child.


No matter how good the household manager was at handling matters, she was still a half-grown child.


Therefore, when she found out that her cousin was going to Shandong to quell the rebellion, she was anxious, threw a tantrum, and cried.


However, after crying, she would also calmly prepare all kinds of health and life-protecting items for her cousin.


She knew very well that the incense she had made could harm lives. As long as she handed the incense to him, many people would die under her incense making in the future.


That was why she was uneasy and terrified.


It was also because she knew this that she handed the incense to him without hesitation.


Compared to all this, she was more worried that something would happen to him.


Yu Youyao took a deep breath and calmed down a little. “The fragrance of the Soul Seizing Fragrance is light, but it won’t be noticed when used with any spices. Cousin, take it to protect yourself in case you need it. I can’t go to Shandong with you. I hope the Soul Seizing Incense can help you.”


Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Okay!”


Now that the Soul Seizing Incense was in his hands, it was up to him how to use it.


After receiving the a.s.surance, Yu Youyao did not delay. She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.


Zhou Linghuai sat in the carriage and reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage window. He saw the little girl standing by the roadside. She was wearing a pomegranate dress. The flowers were bright and dazzling. Yu Youyao waved her hand. ‘Cousin, I’ll wait for you to come back.”


Zhou Linghuai looked at her steadily. “Okay!”


The window was lowered, and the sound of hooves could be heard. Yu Youyao watched the carriage leave until she could no longer see it. Then, she returned to the carriage waiting to go back to the residence.


Chun Xiao was the only one in the carriage, so Yu Youyao couldn’t help but cry.


Chun Xiao was shocked. “Young-Young Miss, Young Master has only returned to Youzhou to settle some matters. He’ll be back soon. Why are you crying?


No, Cousin was clearly going to the battlefield!!


Yu Youyao retorted loudly in her heart.


She had never experienced war, but this was not an obstacle. She had all kinds of guesses and doubts about war in her heart. The unknown was the most terrifying. She also knew that her emotions were not right and she should not let her imagination run wild.


Back then, when her cousin was resisting the Di people on the battlefield in Youzhou, he was ambushed by the Marquis of Changxing and almost trampled to death. Even though he survived, his leg was broken and his body was injured. If it weren’t for the fact that she had spiritual dew and obtained a strange medicine like the Essence Protection Pill, her cousin wouldnt have lasted for more than a year or two.


Every time she thought of this, Yu Youyao felt fl.u.s.tered.


In the end, it wasn’t in front of her cousin that Yu Youyao restrained her emotions after she shed a few tears. “I just feel a little reluctant to not see him for a while!”


Chun Xiao thought about it and agreed, so she comforted her. “If Young Miss misses Young Master, write a letter to him and use more money. If you send an urgent message, as the distance is 400 kilometers, I think the letter will be in


Young Master’s hands in half a month.”


As the master and servant were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped. After a while, Tao Da reported through the curtain, ‘Young Miss, there should be a problem with the axle. The carriage can’t leave for the time being.”


Yu Youyao responded and instructed, “Get out of the carriage first. Move the carriage to the side and don’t block other people’s path.”


When she went out today, in addition to Chun Xiao, she had also brought two burly old maids. Among them, Old Madam Liu, who had previously exposed the truth and saved Yu Shansi, was sitting outside the carriage to serve her. Hearing Young Miss’s instructions, the two old maids quickly got out of the carriage and set up a footstool. Chun Xiao was the first to get out. She stood beside the carriage and helped Yu Youyao out.


Tao Da and the two old maids worked together to move the carriage to the side of the road.


This was a little difficult.


There was still a distance to the Yu Residence. If the carriage was damaged, it probably wouldn’t be repaired in a short period of time. Even if she sent someone back to deliver a letter, it would take a lot of time to come and go. She couldn’t just wait.


Yu Youyao looked across at a restaurant called Fragrance Restaurant and hesitated for a moment.


A woman was out and did not have an elder by her side. It was indeed inappropriate to go to a place like a restaurant.


After thinking about it, Yu Youyao could only say, “Tao Da, there’s no need to repair the carriage. I’ll wait in the carriage. Go back to the residence and get another carriage.”


Tao Da felt that it was inappropriate, but there was indeed no better way, so he agreed.


Just as Yu Youyao was about to return to the carriage, she saw a person walk out of the Fortune Pavilion opposite. He was tall and slender, and his blue robe was embroidered with moon-white orchids, making him look elegant and beautiful.


It was Song Mingzhao!


He was targeting her.


Yu Youyao couldn’t pretend not to see him, so she bowed. “Heir Song.”


The little girl in front of him was wearing a pomegranate dress. The flowers were like fire and the satin of the dress was spread out. Her eyes were burning.


She was even brighter than when she had seen her at the Precious Peace Temple.


Song Mingzhao cupped his hands in greeting and looked at the carriage parked at the side. “Is the carriage broken?”


Yu Youyao felt a little helpless. “It turned out that my cousin had something on and I had specially come to send him off. Unexpectedly, on the way back to the residence, there was a problem with the carriage and we couldn’t leave.”


The two families were family friends and were in-laws. They had b.u.mped into each other on the way. It was one thing not to see each other, but since they had already come over, they couldn’t be rude.


On second thought, Song Mingzhao understood her difficulties. “The Fragrance


Restaurant in front is the property of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence. There are private rooms inside. Miss, why don’t you go and sit with the Fragrance Restaurant?”


He had arranged to meet a few friends at Fragrance Restaurant today. It was a table by the window on the second floor.


Hearing his friends arguing about Young Master Yin leading the troops to Shandong to quell the rebellion, he lost interest in talking.


Suddenly, he glanced out of the window and saw the Yu Residence’s carriage parked opposite.


A maidservant helped Eldest Miss Yu out of the carriage.


For some reason, he suddenly couldn’t sit still anymore, so he stood up. ‘You guys chat first. I suddenly have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”


Since it was the Zhenguo Marquis Residence’s business, there was no harm in sitting for a while in the current situation.


However, Yu Youyao shook her head. “Thank you for your kind intentions, Heir


Song. I’m out alone today. It’s fine if my elders aren’t around, but there are many inconveniences. I hope you can understand.”


Wasn’t this att.i.tude a little too reserved?


Song Mingzhao lowered his eyes. Occasionally, he would hear his third sister mention Eldest Miss Yu. She was always beaming with joy, and her words clearly implied that she was a lively and bright young lady.


That day at the Precious Peace Temple, the scene of the young girl tiptoeing and throwing the brocade to make a wish was even more light and agile. However, after meeting him a few times, Yu Youyao was clearly indifferent and polite. She seemed to be a stranger to him and did not have any relationship with him.


If he hadn’t come looking for her today,it seemed that even if Eldest Miss Yu saw him, she would pretend not to see him..
