Chapter 753: Mother

Elm fruits were very auspicious!
Although Yu Youyao had grown up in the capital, she was an out-and-out money-grubber. She had a stomach full of business experience and was very bold when it came to money. Other than ill-gotten gains, she dared to earn and touch any kind of money. Her personality was not like the Yu Residence at all. Instead, it was more like the Xie Residence.
As she was thinking about something, Yu Youyao had already arrived at the courtyard.
Knowing that the “cousins” had something to say, Xie Jingliu was also tactful. “If the two of you have something to talk about, talk first. Previously, Grandmother asked me to prepare pebbles and make a small stone path by the courtyard gate. In the future, Cousin, you can go back for a walk after dinner. It’s good for your health. I’ll go and see how to make the small stone path.” Under the elm tree, only Yu Youyao and Yin Huaixi were left.
After all, they were in the Xie Residence. It wasn’t appropriate for Yin Huaixi to stay in the Yi Water Garden for long, so he could only make it short.
He took out a pouch and a set of keys. “This is the title deed, house deed and the key to the residence.”
The title deed and house deed were signed in her name. It was a three-way house. It clearly stated the exact location of the house.
He was worried that she wouldn’t be able to live well in the Xie Residence, and he didn’t want her to suffer.
Yin Huaixi was still explaining it to her, “l bought the residence in the name of the Yu Residence. Earlier, I found a landscaper to rebuild the garden. Just like the Yi Water Garden, I incorporated mountains and water into the garden. I arranged for trusted servants in the courtyard. I also found an honest couple from the Yu Clan to guard the residence. I’ll arrange it carefully later. It won’t be a problem to go over from time to time for a few days.”
Yu Youyao’s eyes suddenly turned red.
This was equivalent to the Yu Residence specially buying a property for her in Quanzhou. It was like they had even arranged for their clansmen to take care of her in Quanzhou. Even if she went over to stay for a while, it would be justifiable.
Yin Huaixi softened his voice. “This is definitely against the rules in the capital, but Quanzhou is far away, and the atmosphere is open. There’s no need to worry so much.” He sighed slightly. “When you reach Quanzhou, don’t restrict yourself anymore. As long as you’re not too out of line, don’t let
yourself suffer even during the filial period. Life here is peaceful, and the weather isn’t too cold or hot. Take this time to relax and completely recover.”
When they arrived in the North, they would be limited by their congenital geographical location and living environment. In the end, life would not be as luxurious as the capital, nor would it be as comfortable as Quanzhou.
Yu Youyao nodded slightly. “Okay!’
The delicate word “Okay” was obedient and sweet. Yin Huaixi’s heart couldn’t help but soften. “I’ll stay in Quanzhou for about ten days. Tomorrow morning, in the name of Yue Fei, I’ll hand over a greeting card to the Xie Residence.
Three days later, I’ll bring Yu Shansi to officially visit.”
After getting approval from the Xie Residence, his marriage with Yu Youyao could be considered to be a clear path.
At that time, he could legitimately nurture his relationship with her.
Yu Youyao shook her head. “The officials of the Imperial Court’s disaster relief have already arrived in the North. Yue Fei’s Residence wants to help the
Imperial Court relief the refugees, so we can’t hand everything over to Yin Yi.
You should set off early to return to Youzhou. I’m doing well in the Xie Residence.’
In the past, Yin Huaixi, who was physically disabled, was trapped in a wheelchair. He held a chess piece in his hand and moved it around freely. However, the current Yin Huaixi was more suitable to gallop on the battlefield.
He shouldn’t be implicated by her.
As if worried that he wouldn’t believe her, Yu Youyao explained, “This is where my mother has lived since she was young, and it’s also the freedom I’ve always yearned for. Everything is related to my mother, and I’m born with a natural sense of closeness to this place. The people from the Xie family also take good care of me. When I interact with them, they’re not mixed with too many interests and schemes like the Yu Residence, so I’m naturally very close to them.”
Ever since she was young, she had always been naturally wary of the Yu Residence.
Even her grandmother was the same.
Everyone said that she was mischievous, stupid, and uneducated. She was an eight or nine-year-old girl who was still as ignorant as a child.
However, every time her father taught her a lesson, it was because she had stolen Yu Jianjia’s limelight. From a young age, she knew that she couldn’t be smarter or more sensible than Yu Jianjia.
In the entire family, only her grandmother doted on her. She had only known how to please her grandmother since she was young.
She had also grown into her grandmother’s favorite and the child she cared about her most.
Ignorance was her disguise.
She only had her grandmother!
No one would suddenly become smarter after having a foggy nightmare.
No one would suddenly change completely because they had someone powerful by their side.
The spiritual dewdrop did not have any heaven-defying effects. It only had the effect of strengthening one’s foundation and nurturing one’s essence, expelling poison and filth.
It was easy to change countries, but it was difficult to change one’s nature. Yu Qingning had learned the rules for a few years. She had learned the etiquette on the surface, but her personality was becoming more and more of the opposite.
That nightmare had only allowed the little girl to see the ugliness of human nature, She had a sense of worry and was careful to show the sharpness hidden in her bones.
Auntie Xu knew very well, but she did not expose her.
Instead, she tried his best to teach her.
Yin Huaixi was a little relieved and chuckled. “The calamity in the North isn’t as serious as it seems. I’ll use the name of the Yue Fei’s Residence to ask for credit from the Imperial Court.”
Yu Youyao felt relieved and shook her head. “l don’t care about this.”
Yin Huaixi played with the Ruyao beauty bottle in his hand. “This is very important.”
How could Yue Fei, who was guarding the North, be openly related to the County Head of Shaoyi, who was far away in the capital? They were even related by marriage. This was a crucial part.
After Yin Huaixi left, the people who had followed her to the Xie Residence also entered.
It was still the same as before in the Jade Courtyard.
As she had just arrived, there were still many things that needed to be settled in the courtyard. After a long afternoon, she could be considered to have settled down. She would slowly arrange the rest later.
At night, the entire Xie family gathered for a meal to welcome Yu Youyao. At night, Yu Youyao slept with Auntie Xu.
After sitting on the boat for more than half a month, when Yu Youyao lay on the bed, she felt that she was in a daze. When she closed her eyes, she felt like she was back on the boat.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep. She even had a dream.
She dreamed that she was mischievous and had climbed onto a purple elm tree to pick elm fruits. Her mother stood under the tree and looked at her with a gentle smile. “Little Yao’er, why are you being mischievous again? Come down quickly. It’s very dangerous on the tree.”
Little Yao’er sat on a branch and swayed her little feet as she smiled innocently. “Mother, I picked a lot of elm fruits. Mother, make elm fruit pancakes for me, okay?”
Her mother waved at her with a warm smile. “Come down quickly. I’ll make it for you later.”
Little Yao’er obediently got down from the tree.
Her mother squatted in front of her and gently helped her straighten her slightly messy clothes. She held her hand. “You’re not allowed to climb trees anymore.. What if you fall from the tree and get injured?”
