54. Self-effacing (1)

The look Yu Qingjia gave Madam Li was straightforward and her eyes were calm.

Madam Li immediately recalled the time when they made things difficult for Yu Qingjia this afternoon, they clearly asked her to serve tea the same way, and so her heart was blocked in an instant.

Madam Li never expected that Yu Qingjia would be retaliating against them so quickly.



The maids were looking around, not knowing who to listen to.

Yu Qingjia coldly swept them a glance, raised her eyebrows and reprimanded them, “Yu Laojun is still lying in bed now, is Yu Laojun your master or is she?”

How can the maids respond to this?



They all obediently lowered their heads in fright.

Yu Qingjia’s eyebrows twitched and her face turned extremely gloomy again, and reproached them, “Then why aren’t you doing it?”

The Two maids hung their heads low and retreated, one of them took a fan and knelt by the pot and slowly fanned the hot water so that the water in the pot was not too cold and not too hot.



This is to make sure that they will be able to make the temperature similar to this afternoon.

The rest of the women watched dumbfounded, they were looking at each other, unable to react.

If they couldn’t see that the Sixth miss was trying to make things difficult for people, then they would be uselessly blind.

However, it was the fourth miss who made things difficult for the sixth miss first, and now that the sixth miss is retaliating even if they were a little dissatisfied they can’t really say anything.

They can’t just tell her outright and say that in fact, the fourth miss, and Madam Li was simply making things difficult for her earlier, and that the water was already good enough as it is.

The courtyard was so silent that you might even hear a needle drop.

The sound of the wind blowing and the decoction of the medicine outside was the only sound being heard.

Madam Li’s body was already very tired after standing inside Yu Laojun’s courtyard for a whole day, and it was not easy for her to get Yu Laojun’s permission to finally rest today.

It took Madam Li a long time to remove her makeup so when she finally laid down on the bed in peace, and was about to sleep, she was suddenly bombarded by a clang coming from the outside.

The brass lampstand smashed on the ground with a shocking metallic sound, and Madam Li was awakened by the sudden shock.

Yu Qingya, who was sleeping next to Madam Li, was also alarmed.

The two of them didn’t dare to say much and hurriedly sent the maids to ask about what happened outside.

They then heard Yu Qingjia say that it was nothing serious, and that Yu Laojun was simply teaching her the rites, but how can they dare to fall asleep when Yu Laojun is giving a lecture?

So Madam Li and Yu Qingya could only get up hurriedly, put on a piece of clothing casually, and rush to the outside room without even sparing any time to tidy their hair.

All the maids inside and outside were also tossed up.

They were all forced to get up from the warm nest and stand under the cold wind to listen to Yu Laojun’s teachings.

Everyone’s expression was not very good, thankfully Yu Laojun finally sent word for people to return.

So Madam Li thought she could finally get a good night’s sleep, but she hadn’t been lying down for long when Yu Qingjia sent someone over to look for Yu Qingya again.

Since Madam Li and Yu Qingya are sleeping beside each other, when Yu Qingya was awoken by the maid, naturally Madam Li couldn’t just stay there lying in bed.

Having been woken up twice in one night is not a happy thing for anyone, so Madam Li’s complexion doesn’t look very good, but Yu Qingjia was not finished yet.

Madam Li had seen a lot of patients before, so she could clearly see that Yu Laojun was just having a nightmare and would be fine after a good night’s sleep.

However, Yu Qingjia did not see that.

She made a fuss again, and asked people to boil water and boil medicine, which almost suffocated the entire courtyard with the smell of smoke, and burnt medicine.

If Madam Li couldn’t see that Yu Qingjia is deliberately stirring up trouble, then it is definitely a waste of so many years of her life.

Who would serve the sick so loudly?

They should be afraid to wake the elders up with their noise.

Madam Li thought that since Yu Qingjia was acting so obedient in the morning, she would still be tolerant at night.

She thought that she would be doing everything on her own, while the others were sleeping peacefully.

She also thought that she would be running around inside and outside, but in the end madam Li only guessed half of it right, Yu Qingjia did indeed insist on doing things on her own, but she made sure to drag everyone else along.

Obviously, Yu Qingjia is determined to make everyone restless tonight.

The water was already good but she said it was cold, she then asked the others to boil new water but when they did? She would say it was too hot.

She would even make sure that the water temperature reaches the same temperature as the one in the afternoon before she would let Yu Laojun drink it.

Madam Li laughed coldly and said, “Sixth Miss, stop it, your tricks may be enough to fool children, but you can’t hide it in front of our eyes. If you cause trouble again, and aggravate Yu Laojun’s illness, can you afford it?”

“Of course I want Laojun to get well soon.”

Yu Qingjia looked at Madam Li and said slowly, “I just don’t quite understand what my First Aunt meant. I remembered what my fourth sister said to me before. It was the fourth sister who said that I had to get up every half an hour to cover Yu Laojun up with a quilt, and massage her when she moved a little to avoid cramps. My fourth sister told me to make sure that I do this properly. I am young, it’s also my first time to serve a patient, I clearly do not know anything, so obviously I will follow whatever my fourth sister told me to do. How is it that according to my first Aunt’s words now, doing so is actually aggravating Yu Laojun’s condition?”

Madam Li’s anger reached the peak, she then thought, ‘Ya’er clearly said this but she never said to do it so loudly. You should have served your elders without making any sound, not like you knocking over something with your left, and breaking teacups with your right!’

Madam Li’s face turned extremely gloomy, and said, “Of course there is no problem with the words of your fourth sister, but you deliberately made so much noise. Did you really want to help Yu Laojun recuperate? Or aggravate her condition?”

“That’s why I asked my Fourth Sister and First Aunt to teach me.”

Yu Qingjia smiled, her eyes curved into tiny crescents, she then blinked sweetly at Madam Li.
