“First aunt also knows that my mother passed away early, I was only ten years old when that happened. I also followed my father in Qingzhou all these years, so when I returned there were no elders in the second household to guide me. Obviously there was no one to teach me how to serve the sick. Although I was worried about Yu Laojun’s condition, I didn’t dare to do it for fear of making any mistakes out of good intentions, and causing trouble for people instead. I didn’t expect that my first aunt and fourth sister would trust me so much that they would even let me stay to teach me personally. This sixth miss was very moved. If I did not do well… Then… I ask my First Aunt to please guide me well.”
Madam Li heard Yu Qingjia say these words repeatedly for a while now.
She had also heard Yu Qingjia say similar words during the day, however, everyone inside the deep house courtyard likes to put up a good face, even if they would be really skilled about something, they would often pretend to be unskilled.
At that time, Madam Li also took Yu Qingjia’s words as self-effacing.
She did not expect that Yu Qingjia was really serious.
Madam Li was so angry that she couldn’t say anything.
Does she have to teach her how to serve tea, and massage the legs and shoulders of an elderly person?
This kind of thing actually need people to teach them?
She was obviously just being polite and courteous earlier, but Yu Qingjia was really climbing up the high pole for it?
Madam Li wanted to say something else, but Yu Laojun suddenly couldn’t stand it any longer and reprimanded them, “Be quiet, you’re giving me a headache.”
Madam Li was immediately silenced.
Yu Laojun’s face contorted badly, and her gaze swept past everyone, and especially lingered on Yu Qingjia for a moment.
At first she thought that Yu Qingjia was unintentional, but now that so many things have happened, how could she not see that Yu Qingjia did it all on purpose?
However, Yu Qingjia’s sentences were always filial, blocking Yu Laojun from saying anything to rebuke her.
Yu Laojun is obviously angry.
What makes it even more complicated was because she obviously used the word ‘Filial Piety’ to put pressure on the younger generation, and that younger generation used the same word to block her.
Her ‘young’ age was also a barrier.
She was a young, unmarried girl who took the initiative to come over to serve her, and in the end, her inexperience and clumsiness caused a lot of trouble for her.
Can Yu Laojun still be angry at the other party for not doing well, and ignore her efforts?
Obviously Yu Laojun cannot afford to lose face.
So Yu Laojun was tortured for almost an entire night, but now she realized that there is nothing she can do about the perpetrator, and it really made her feel frustrated.
Madam Li glared at Yu Qingjia with bitter hatred.
Although, she knew that Yu Qingjia was torturing people in the name of filial piety…
However, who let Yu Qingjia act like a filial daughter and a virtuous young lady?
Yu Qingjia took advantage of the great righteousness, to cause trouble for Madam Li and Yu Qingya, but she can not even say anything about it.
After all, Yu Qingjia does everything on her own, this is also a show of her filial piety.
Madam Li was used to using filial piety as a weapon to pressure people.
As long as the filial scriptures are used, everyone has to do whatever she says, Madam Yu used to do so, and the other ladies will also.
However, what Madam Li never thought was that one day, she would also be oppressed so badly by others, with the word ‘Filial Piety’.
This feeling was as if one’s most handy weapon not only did not cut others, but it was also turned around and cut herself.
Madam Li incomparably regretted her decision to leave Yu Qingjia behind to serve the sick earlier.
She secretly blamed Yu Qingya, who can not even plot properly, for letting this scourge run amok around here.
Madam Li is not young anymore, if she had not been unfavored by her husband, and had not had a son, she would have been a grandmother by now.
The young girls may not be able to feel it even if they stay up all night, but for Madam Li, who was woken up twice in one night and dragged around in the middle of the night without peace, her face and her body can’t take it anymore.
Madam Li’s sleepy eyelids were fighting to stay open.
She was standing in the cold courtyard trying her best to fight off sleep, and she was extremely depressed.
She does not want to care about anything anymore, she only wants Yu Qingjia to hurry up and stop fussing about anything, so she can at least go back to sleep for the remaining half of the night.
Yu Qingya also seems to think the same thing, she finally decocted the medicine, so she walked into the courtyard smelling like smoke and burnt medicine dregs.
It’s already winter, and she had to decoct medicine outside in the middle of the night.
Obviously Yu Qingya is unwilling but what can she do?
Her face contorted into an ugly grimace.
When the people inside the courtyard saw Yu Qingya entering, they immediately got up and gave way to her, and as soon as Yu Qingya entered the courtyard, she took the tray from the maid’s hand.
She always likes to do superficial work.
There were so many people around her earlier when she was decocting the medicine so Yu Qingya couldn’t find a perfect opportunity to add the elixir.
However, now that she finally got her hands on the bowl of medicine, she hurriedly dropped a few drops of elixir without anyone noticing.
Her body can’t really hold up anymore.
So in order to let Yu Laojun recover quickly, she ignored the system’s reminder and secretly added the strong elixir to the medicine.
She was thinking that Yu Laojun will perk up faster from the uncomfortable state she was in with the help of the elixir.
That way everyone can go back to sleep for the remaining half of the night.
As for the side effects…
Well it’s just a little bit, so she believes there would be nothing to worry about as long as she only adds a little.
Yu Qingya thought that she was able to completely conceal her actions, but contrary to her expectations, her little tricks were completely seen by the people who’ve been secretly paying close attention to her.
Madam Li finally let out a long sigh of relief after seeing Yu Qingya walking over.
She was so relieved that she was about to call her when she suddenly saw Yu Qingya’s feet stumble and her whole body fell towards the bed with a plop.
Yu Qingya is the most favored person in front of Yu Laojun, so all the women were wise enough to make way for her.
That’s the reason why when Yu Qingya fell like this, the medicine that had just been boiled in her hand and was still steaming immediately spilled towards Yu Laojun, who was lying in bed.
Everyone was surprised by this sudden turn of events, Yu Qingjia was standing on the other side so Yu Qingya’s medicine bowl happened to completely avoid her.
Yu Qingjia’s eyes couldn’t help but widen in surprise, she had been pretending to be ignorant all night, but now she really didn’t know what’s going on.
What does Yu Qingya want to do, by making such a huge scene?
Madam Li’s face contorted again after seeing Yu Qingya splashing the medicine towards Yu Laojun.
Yu Laojun was already old and had little strength.
She had just woken up from a state of sleep paralysis, and she was really groggy now.
How could she quickly avoid that kind of situation?
If these boiling hot medicinal concoctions were splashed on Yu Laojun, whether she was burned or not, just this action of Yu Qingya alone is enough to kill her two or three times.
Madam Li was in a hurry, and anxious, so under the watchful eyes of so many people, she immediately jumped forward to block the bowl for Yu Laojun.
Although Madam Li is only of medium stature, she was still an adult after all.
Yu Laojun is different.
She was old, her eyes were hazy, her voice was hoarse, she had just woken up from a state of sleep paralysis, when she saw this scene she immediately fainted.
Everyone’s faces turned snow-white in an instant, Yu Qingya was so frightened that her legs went limp.
She did not care about the dregs of medicine and broken porcelain on the ground, and immediately flopped down on the ground to ask for mercy.
“Y–Yu Laojun please forgive me, this Fourth Miss did not mean to do it. I— I don’t know what happened, I seem to have tripped over something.”
However, no one was paying any attention to her words anymore.
The crowd gathered around Yu Laojun’s bed with a hail of screams, “L—Laojun, what’s wrong with you? Laojun, wake up!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
