However, after the greeting just now, they could be considered to have gotten to know each other. Song Mingzhao did not even say anything extra to her. He did not even look at her directly before talking to Yu Youyao again.
It was as if she didn’t exist at all.
Song Mingzhao was a young master of an aristocratic family after all. He had learned poetry, books, and etiquette since he was young. How could he be so rude?
How was that possible?!
Yu Youyao must be behind this. Otherwise, why would Yu Youyao, who had always been distant from her, suddenly ask her to bring Song Mingzhao around the residence?
Yu Youyao clearly knew that only Song Mingzhao had just met her. It seemed
reasonable for Song Mingzhao to reject this suggestion.
Yu Youyao had deliberately set her up to embarra.s.s her in front of Song
Mingzhao.
No one cared about Yu Jianjia’s awkwardness, unwillingness, and disappointment.
To Song Mingzhao, the Third Miss of the Yu Residence was just a t.i.tle.
He did not even see her face clearly. In the depths of his heart, he vaguely disliked Yu Jianjia’s sudden appearance, giving Yu Youyao a chance to use the excuse of being busy to push him to Yu Jianjia.
Song Mingzhao stared at Yu Youyao with a dark gaze.
Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She hesitated for a moment. “Heir Song, if you have anything to say, say it here.” She glanced at
Yu Jianjia and added, “My third sister is not an outsider.”
She wasn’t familiar with Song Mingzhao, so there was nothing she couldn’t say to him.
At this point, Song Mingzhao couldn’t force her. He stared at Yu Youyao and said, “I have something to say to your sister. Third Miss, please leave for a moment.”
He did not have any other impression of Yu Jianjia. He only felt that this Third Miss of the Yu Residence did not know her limits. When he opened his mouth to speak, as a smart person, she should avoid him.
Yu Jianjia looked at Song Mingzhao in disbelief.
Even when talking to her, Song Mingzhao only looked at Yu Youyao and never looked at her directly. What was even more outrageous was that this was the Yu Residence. Song Mingzhao was a guest, but he actually asked her to leave.
It was as if she was the one who had no sense of propriety.
Yu Jianjia had never been treated so coldly since she was young. For a
moment, she couldn’t take it anymore, and her thin figure couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
However, since Song Mingzhao had already spoken, even though she felt uncomfortable and dissatisfied, she could only force a smile. “Heir Song, have a good chat. I…” She pursed her lips. When she let go, her pink and white lips trembled slightly. “I’m about to go to Grandmother’s house to greet her, so I won’t disturb you and Sister.”
After barely saying this, she fled towards the north courtyard.
Yu Youyao was a little displeased. Song Mingzhao spoke if he had something to say. He was clearly a guest, but he wanted to overshadow her and make Yu Jianjia feel awkward.
Of course, she did not care about Yu Jianjia.
Yu Youyao was simply dissatisfied with Song Mingzhao’s att.i.tude. “Heir Song, just say what you have to say. There’s no need to be mysterious, lest others misunderstand.”
Although with her and Song Mingzhao’s age, even if they said a few words alone in the open area of the residence under the eyes of the elders, no bad words would spread.
However, men and women sat at different seats at seven years old. On one hand, she could get close to her cousin because he was in her family. On the other hand, she wanted to get close to him. She had never cared about many taboos between men and women. She just had to be careful not to let her elders know.
However, she wanted to hide as far as she could when she saw Song Mingzhao.
No matter what, Yu Youyao should not be too conflicted about the nightmare.
Since she had that nightmare, it was fate. Since it was bad karma, why should she get involved? Did she think that her life was too good?
Her att.i.tude was still considered polite, but the words she said were indeed not polite. Song Mingzhao did not mind and only asked, “Miss Yao, may I ask if your courtesy name is Zhi Yao? It means that your beauty is second to none!”
Yu Youyao’s heart was in turmoil. Even her grip on her handkerchief tightened slightly, but she tried her best to maintain her expression. She frowned and said
“Heir Song, what nonsense are you talking about? The true name of a girl is bestowed by her elders. She can’t tell anyone except her family. Heir Song is from a famous family and has been familiar with poetry and books since he was young. Isn’t it too rude to ask?”
A young lady’s courtesy name had to be written on the invitation along with her birth characters and exchanged with her in-laws.
Her mother had obtained her courtesy name for her when she was on her deathbed. Only her grandmother, cousin, and herself Imew about it. No one else did.
It was impossible for her grandmother to tell anyone about such a private matter, and she had never told anyone except her cousin, let alone him.
Therefore!
How did Song Mingzhao know her courtesy name?
Could it be that Yu Youyao suddenly remembered many strange things about Song Mingzhao vomiting blood and fainting? Could it be that he had the same nightmare as her?
Yu Youyao was suddenly horrified. She kept feeling that this nightmare was a little unusual.
She did not say yes or no. There was nothing wrong with her emotions. Her angry att.i.tude seemed to be a normal reaction, but Song Mingzhao had an intuition.
‘%hi Yao” was Yu Youyao’s courtesy name.
The voice in his nightmare could not be heard clearly. The girl with a blurry appearance was very likely Yu Youyao.
During the few days when he was unconscious, he repeatedly heard the young girl’s voice in his dream. “Song Mingzhao, my courtesy name, Zhi Yao, was given to me by my mother before she died. It means that my beauty is second to none”
The young girl’s voice was like a delicate oriole’s, and her voice entered his ears.
It was clearly so unforgettable, but he couldn’t hear it clearly. He clearly wanted to hear it more clearly and see her clearly.
However, what appeared in front of her was always the girl’s bloodstained and thin voice cursing, “Song Mingzhao, you won’t die a good death. I curse you to live in prosperity and enjoy a hundred years of loneliness alone. You can’t love, and you can’t ask for it. You’ll rather die. Song Mingzhao, I hate you…”
Such a beautiful girl had cursed him with the most vicious curse in the world. He couldn’t help but feel heartache and despair, hoping that he would never wake up.
Later on, he vaguely seemed to hear Yu Youyao’s voice.
A voice in his heart kept reminding him, “Song Mingzhao, wake up. You have to wake up…”
He was awake!
After opening his eyes, the first thing he did was look at the entire room. Other than the maidservants, there was only his mother guarding him.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly when he was unconscious.
However, her mother was extremely excited. “Mingzhao, Mingzhao, you’re awake. Thank goodness you’re finally awake. To think that I went to the Yu Residence to ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill…”
He had only woken up after forcing himself as he was weak. After a moment, he couldn’t hold on anymore and was about to faint again.. However, when he heard his mother mention the Yu Residence…
