Chapter 451: Things Look Different

Yu Shansi did not understand.

...

His mother was a good person, but she had done something wrong, so his grandmother had locked her up. He had to be filial to his mother, but he couldn’t learn from her.

At the thought of this, Yu Shansi comforted her. “Third Sister, although Mother is seriously ill and can’t take care of us like before, we still have Grandmother, Father, and Eldest Sister at home. I’ve improved a lot in my studies recently, and Third Sister’s health has improved a lot. Everything in the family is fine.

Don’t worry too much.”

Yu Shansi’s words made Yu Jianjia’s heart sink bit by bit. She had never felt like she had lost so completely.

She also wanted to tell Yu Shansi that Yu Youyao was scheming and had ill intentions.

However, Yu Shansi did not believe it.

In the few months that she had lived in the manor, Yu Youyao had been in charge of Yu Shansi’s food, shelter, and transportation in the residence. Yu

Youyao was meticulous, so it was impossible for her to treat Yu Shansi harshly.

It was also Yu Youyao who took care of her food, shelter, and transportation in the manor. It was also a fact that Imperial Physician Hu had personally come to take her pulse and her health had improved.

Yu Youyao had blocked all her paths in the Yu Residence.

She was told clearly that it was already difficult for her to support herself alone in the residence now. Being an obedient and sensible daughter was the best choice.

Yu Jianjia left the Songtao Courtyard in a daze. Unknowingly, she had arrived at the Tranquil Heart Residence, thinking about how her mother lived in the high courtyard wall.

She immediately felt desolate!

When the old maid guarding the door saw Third Miss standing at the door, she quickly opened it. “Third Miss is here to see First Madam, right? Old Madam has long instructed me to open the door for Third Miss. Third Miss, please come in.”

Yu Jianjia stood rooted to the ground. Was it a good idea to enter?

She did not specially come to visit her mother. It was just that as she walked out of the Songtao Courtyard, she saw that the residence was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and the servants were happily busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This lively scene had nothing to do with her.

She had a feeling that things were different.

Unknowingly, she had arrived at the Tranquil Heart Residence. However, looking at the open door of the Tranquil Heart Residence, Yu Jianjia could only brace herself and walk in.

With a bang, Yu Jianjia was shocked and suddenly turned around—

The open door was closed. At that moment, she looked around in a daze. She saw that the tall courtyard wall of the Tranquil Heart Residence was like a cage, and she felt suffocated and desperate.

She couldn’t help but tremble and have the urge to escape.

She turned and ran for the door.

When she ran to the door and her fingertips touched the door, Yu Jianjia suddenly realized that the person locked up in the Tranquil Heart Courtyard was not her, but her mother.

She was only here to see her mother!

Just as Yu Jianjia was about to enter the house, she heard a bang, clang, and crash, as well as Yang Shuwan’s screams—

“She doesn’t even let me out during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why not? I’m Master’s legitimate wife. As long as Master doesn’t divorce me, I’ll be the madam of the Yu Residence’s main branch and Yu Youyao’s mother. Why shouldn’t she let me out? Someone, I want to see Master. I want to go out… “Madam, Old Madam is in charze of the matters in the Tranquil Heart Residence. It’s Old Madam who personally said that you should recuperate well in the courtyard. You… shouldn’t make a fuss.”

“That’s impossible. It’s impossible for Old Madam to do that. Old Madam values her reputation the most. The Mid -Autumn Festival is a good day for people to reunite. If I, the mistress of the household, am locked up in the courtyard, wouldn’t I be exposed and become a joke? It must be that b*tch, Yu Youyao. It’s her…”

It was unreasonable for her to not even let her out during Mid-Autumn Festival no matter how serious her illness was.

Nanny Li did not know how to persuade her.

First Madam’s emotions were unstable. Perhaps she would go crazy when she was unhappy with something.

How could Old Madam dare to let her out?

Yang Shuwan cried again. “My father is in jail. The Yang family is gone, and I’ve become the daughter of a criminal. Everyone in the Yu Residence doesn’t treat me as a human. Master can’t divorce me, so they want to force me to death so that Master can remarry…” As she spoke, she laughed crazily. “Hahaha, if you want me to die, I won’t. Yu Zongzheng, don’t even think about getting rid of me for the rest of your life. Hahaha…”

The Tranquil Heart Residence’s courtyard was small, so the commotion in the house could be heard outside.

Yu Jianjia listened to the screams, screams, cries, and laughter inside. These were definitely not emotions that a normal person would have.

Her heart completely turned cold, and she retracted her feet bit by bit.

No wonder Yu Shansi also had a difficult expression when he mentioned his mother.

She did not want to face such a crazy mother.

Yu Jianjia felt a sense of sorrow and silently left the Tranquil Heart Residence.

Seeing that she had come out so quickly, the old woman guarding the door was a little surprised. Seeing that Third Miss did not look too good, she guessed that First Madam must have gone crazy again.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 15th of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival. The suffocating weather became refreshing.

After breakfast, Yu Youyao and Nanny Liu counted the Mid -Autumn Festival gifts that had been prepared at home. After checking the gift list, she sent someone to send them over one by one.

Every year, there was a tradition during the Mid -Autumn Festival to eat mooncakes, chrysanthemum wine, and some snacks.

In her own name, Yu Youyao gave Qi Sinian, Song Wanhui, and Tang Yunxi a gift.

After everything was arranged, Yu Youyao went to An Shou Hall.

Yu Jianjia and Yu Shansi had already arrived and were talking to their grandmother. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was rare for their grandmother to wear gold and silver. She also looked happy.

Yu Youyao turned around and saw Yu Qingning sitting in the hall.

Yu Qingning had lost a little more weight and looked very outstanding, but her expression was a little stiff and wooden. She was wearing a green gauze top and a pomegranate-red dress, looking flamboyant and beautiful.

After not seeing her for half a year, Yu Qingning had changed a lot, but it seemed that she had not changed at all.

Yu Qingning stood up and greeted Yu Youyao. “Hello, Eldest Sister.”

Her eyes were lowered, so no one could see the expression on her face. She had learned etiquette from Nanny Jin for more than half a year, and her every move was indeed polite.

Yu Youyao returned the greeting.

Only then did Yu Qingning raise her head. “Previously, I was the one who let Eldest Sister down. I shouldn’t have caused a commotion at Eldest Sister’s birthday banquet. I never had the chance to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me.”

Yu Youyao raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled. “Fourth Sister, you’re being too serious.”

Yu Qingning had indeed improved a little. It was really rare for her to apologize to her.

But!

If Yu Qingning had really learned to be smart, she shouldn’t have mentioned the unhappy past in front of her grandmother on such a good day.

This apology was not meant for her.

However, her actions were for her grandmother to see..
