At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Chapter 84 Redecorating Yayun Garden

"Grandma, didn't you tell me to let me stay in Yayunyuan forever? Why are you asking me to move out again?" Yu Yunxuan acted coquettishly in front of the old lady with a reluctant heart.

Old Lady Yu looked back at Yu Yunxin and said, "Xin'er, you have been named a princess now. Yunxuan has lived in Yayun Garden for more than a year. It would not be good to ask her to move out as soon as you come back. How about Grandmother change the courtyard for you?"

When Yu Yunxin heard her grandmother say this, she said, "Grandma, the location of Yayun Garden is the position that Lord Liu of the Imperial Observatory gave to the eldest daughter of the Yu family. It's not reasonable for a concubine's daughter to live there!"

"I've heard of Lord Liu from the Imperial Observatory when I came to the capital. He has checked the Feng Shui of many officials' mansions. Since Lord Liu said so, Yunxuan, what are you waiting for? Move out of Yayun Garden as soon as possible!" When Old Lady Yu heard about the Imperial Observatory, she immediately urged.

Old people in modern times, like those in ancient times, are more superstitious, but Yu Yunxin has many ways to deal with it.

"Sister, you're back. Did you bring me a gift?" Yu Yunxuan walked up to Yu Yunxin and asked.

Yu Yunxin shook her head when she saw Yu Yunxuan: "You have lived in Yayunyuan for so long and I didn't ask you to give me a gift. How dare you ask me for a gift! I only give gifts to my elders."

"And I can't let your people move my things. Yunshan and Yanluo, take your people to move my things into Yayun Garden, and move the second young lady's things out." Yu Yunxin said as she was about to move away from the mother and daughter.

Wang Yuanxiang said, "Yun Xin, although I am not your biological mother, I have taken care of you over the years. Why don't you give me a gift?"

"Sister, what are you wearing around your neck? How about giving it to me?" Yu Yunxuan said as she looked at the necklace worn on Yu Yunxin's slender, white jade neck.

When Yu Yunxin heard this, she thought that Yu Yunxuan was really good at picking things. There was a thousand-year-old flower aura here. How could she possibly give the necklace around her neck to her?

"Although you are my half-sister, I have given you many good things in the past. Why should I give them to you?" Yu Yunxin replied.

"Grandma, I'm about to move out of Yayun Garden, and I won't even give you a gift as a token of my gratitude." Yu Yunxuan said coquettishly in front of the old lady.

Qiu Shuang, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore and was about to speak when she was stopped by Yu Yunxin.

"My concubine's Yayun Garden was originally my courtyard. Why do you want to take over my courtyard?" Yu Yunxin said, looking at Old Lady Yu and said, "Grandma, I was very happy to receive the letter from grandpa in Nanling County. I also specially learned some medicinal food for grandma and grandpa. Otherwise, I will arrange some medicinal food for grandma and grandpa tomorrow. Grandma, this necklace is a gift from the emperor. How can I disrespect the emperor's grace at will!"

"Xin'er is right. Yunxuan, why are you still making a fuss here? Go to Yayun Garden and clean up the area so that your elder sister can leave the space." Old Mrs. Yu turned around and looked at Yu Yunxuan.

After returning to the living room, Yu Yunxin also saw Grandpa Yu drinking tea. She immediately held the ginseng and handed it to Grandpa Yu, saying, "Grandfather, Xin'er missed you so much. Look, I bought this thousand-year-old wild ginseng specially for you."

He then opened the ginseng to reveal a ginseng that was half a meter long. Everyone who smelled the rich ginseng scent immediately became energized.

"Xin'er, this ginseng is too valuable! Put it away quickly. Your grandfather would not want such a precious thing." Old man Yu closed the ginseng box unconsciously as soon as he saw it.

"Grandpa, grandma, and your grandchildren have been in Beijing for a while now! Have you gone out to have a look around Beijing?" Yu Yunxin just finished speaking.

Grandma and grandpa looked at each other. They had not really gone out for a walk since they came to the capital. At most, they walked along a street outside the palace. Wang Yuanxiang said that the capital was too big and she was afraid that the old couple would get lost. When she heard her eldest granddaughter's question, she immediately replied, "I really want to go to that Zuixianju Restaurant to take a look."

"Yes, your grandfather heard about Zuixianju in the teahouse here. If you haven't tried Zuixianju's food, you have never been to the capital." said Old Mrs. Yu.

"Okay, grandpa and grandma, I will take you to Zuixianju tomorrow." Yu Yunxin said and asked someone to bring out a few brocade boxes.

"Grandma, this is an emerald ring inlaid with gold. Grandpa also has a jade ring." Yu Yunxin said as she put the things in the brocade box on her grandparents, and also prepared a few sets of gorgeous clothes for the two elders.

The two old people were full of praise: "Xin'er, you are so thoughtful. Let's wear this outfit tomorrow. There are many people who look down on others these days. Your Aunt Wang didn't even buy me clothes."

"How can you say that, mother? We don't have any extra money to buy you two extra clothes." Wang Yuanxiang replied.

"Wang Yuanxiang, you don't have money, so why did you ask us to come to the capital? I remember that my family is still the county magistrate of Wangshan County. What's the point of bringing me here?" Old Man Yu was very dissatisfied with Wang Yuanxiang and said, "I have heard a lot about your Wang family's deeds when I went to the teahouse to drink tea these days. You asked us to come here to help you suppress Xin'er's momentum as the Princess of Xingguo. You asked the servants in the mansion to ruin Xin'er's reputation. If Xin'er didn't have the title of Princess of Xingguo, you two mother and daughter would have slandered her. I only found out about it when I met an official from the Ministry of Revenue in the teahouse!"

"Yayunyuan was originally occupied by Xin'er. It would be awkward for Yunxuan to live there." Old man Yu looked at Wang Yuanxiang again and became more and more dissatisfied with her.

"You are just a concubine who is not presentable. Don't think that I don't know how you plotted against my son. Go back to your own yard. You have the nerve to ask Xin'er for gifts, you shameless person." Old Lady Yu spat at Wang Yuanxiang.

"We have moved out the second princess's things. Should we redecorate Yayun Garden?" Yunshan walked over and asked.

Yu Yunxin nodded and said, "Just decorate it according to my preferences!"

"Yes, the princess!" Yunshan said and returned to Yayun Garden.

When moving things, the servants and maids in the mansion all wanted to help, but they were rejected by the people brought by Yunshan and Yanluo.

Even Yu Yunxuan came to visit several times, only to see boxes of things being moved to Yayunyuan.

"Second Miss, please ask your people to move your things away quickly. What are you doing with our princess's things?" Yanluo said as she looked at Yu Yunxuan and Wang Yuanxiang standing at the entrance of Yayunyuan, getting in the way.

"You are just a servant of my eldest sister. What qualifications do you have to control me?" Yu Yunxuan said while glaring at Yanluo.

Yanluo ignored the two of them and only moved Yu Yunxuan's things out of Yayun Garden. After all the things in the carriage were moved back to Yayun Garden, she closed the gate of the garden.

According to Yu Yunxin's preferences, the two asked several disciples from Yanyu Manor to come back and start cleaning Yayun Garden from inside to outside.

Yu Yunxin accompanied the two elders in making tea. Old man Yu liked drinking tea very much. Ever since Yu Tinghai passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination, the two elders had only come to the capital a month after Yu Tinghai married the daughter of General Lin's mansion. They were also afraid of adding trouble to Yu Tinghai. They all knew that the Lin family would send some high-quality tea and silks and satins every year. The old couple were also very frugal.

Wang Yuanxiang also instigated them to come to the capital this time. The two elders thought that since their son had been demoted, coming to the capital would not bring trouble to their son, so they brought all their belongings to the capital. What they didn't expect was that Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter were very respectful to the two elders on the surface, but they often used sweet words to deceive the two elders, and the two elders cheated a lot of their pension money. The most important thing was that Wang Yuanxiang brought back ordinary things and lied to the two elders that the prices in the capital were expensive, but no matter how expensive they were, they couldn't be more expensive than they could imagine! If it weren't for Yu Linshan, I really don't know how long he would be deceived.

The granddaughter in front of him actually brought out thousand-year-old ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. She also personally made tea and snacks for the two elders to taste. The key point is that the tea and snacks tasted many times more fragrant than the tea Yu Yunxuan usually made.

"Xin'er, you must be tired from traveling and you've been with us for so long, so go back to the yard and have a good rest!" Old man Yu said with concern as he looked at Yu Yunxin who was busy in and out.

"Okay grandma, grandpa, I'll ask the people I brought back to go to the kitchen to make some dinner for you. I'll be back to the yard soon." After Yu Yunxin finished speaking, she bowed to the two elders and went back to Yayun Garden.

After returning to Yayun Garden and taking a look, she found that Yayun Garden seemed to be less lively. She immediately selected a few pots of flowers from the colorful bracelets and placed them in various places in Yayun Garden, so that the garden looked new and lively. She then replaced all the original furniture as she didn't like things that had been touched by others.

After Yu Yunxuan saw that all the furniture from Yayunyuan had been moved out, she moved them back to her own yard. These were all made of top-quality sandalwood.

"Mother, look, as soon as that bitch Yu Yunxin came back, grandparents both sided with her. How can we deal with her?" Yu Yunxuan looked at the mess in the house and wondered why these distant relatives and maids were so slow to do things!

"Xuan'er, don't worry. After your father is reinstated, I can go to the palace to meet Concubine Wang in a few days. As long as we have a relationship with Concubine Wang, I believe Yu Yunxin's good days will be over." As Wang Yuanxiang spoke, she held the handkerchief tightly in her hand and stared in the direction of Yayunyuan.

"But I heard from the people in the Ministry of Revenue that the emperor will confer a higher title on that bitch when she returns. How can we defeat her?" Yu Yunxuan looked down at Wang Yuanxiang and said.

"Don't worry, I have a way. No matter how capable a woman is, as long as she marries someone poor, what's the point of her being called a princess!" Wang Yuanxiang smiled as if she thought of something.

"Mother, what do you want to do?" Yu Yunxuan asked.

"We'll know in a few days!" After saying that, he looked at the distant maids and asked why they were so slow, and immediately said, "You are so slow, why don't you tidy up the second young lady's boudoir?"

When the maids heard this, they immediately quickened their work, but when the mother and daughter left the yard, they started to slack off again.

Compared to Yu Yunxin, everyone in Yayun Garden was busy and happy. After finishing her work, Yu Yunxin directly cooked dinner in the small kitchen of Yayun Garden and let everyone eat together. She was used to people in Nanling County, so Yunshan and others didn't act like master and servant in private.

Except for Qiu Shuang and Chun Yu, all the people in Ya Yun Yuan are from Yan Yu Manor, and they treat each other like sisters in private.

Yu Yunxin also gave everyone a purple jade earring as a reward for today. After the meal, the people in Yanyu Manor also cleaned up the dishes consciously.

"Grandma, look, my eldest sister needs more than a dozen maids to serve her." Yu Yunxuan came to Grandma Yu's yard to complain.

But just as she said this, Yu Tinghai came in and heard what Yu Yunxuan said, "Yunxuan, your eldest sister is a princess, so why is she so grateful for the service? Are you going to report this to your grandmother as well?"

"Tinghai, you're back. Have you had dinner?" As soon as Old Mrs. Yu and Old Man Yu saw their son coming back, they immediately went to Yu Tinghai and looked at him carefully.

"Father and mother have caused you two a lot of suffering these days. Don't worry, I won't make you worry anymore." After Yu Tinghai knelt down to pay his respects to the two elders, they helped him up.

"Yunxuan, if you have nothing else to do, just go back to your own yard. You have been living in your elder sister's yard for more than a year. You really don't respect your elder sister at all!" Yu Tinghai said to Yu Yunxuan who was standing behind the two elders.

When Yu Yunxuan saw her majestic father, she felt a little afraid and walked out of the hall. As soon as she went out, she saw four maids behind Yu Yunxin carrying various delicious dishes.

She walked over and said provocatively: "Big sister, don't think that you can be loved by everyone just because you are a princess. Just wait and see."

"Yu Yunxuan, don't think that I'm doing this to compete with you for the favor of grandparents and father. If you really care about father and grandparents, then you should do something practical to show them. Why didn't you ask your father if he had dinner when he came home so late from the palace? Why don't you cook dinner for your father yourself?" After saying this, Yu Yunxin ignored Yu Yunxuan and went straight into the hall.

The old couple and Yu Tinghai were very pleased when they saw Yu Yunxin personally bringing a few maids into the house and serving them a rich midnight snack.

"Father must be hungry after just returning from the palace. Grandpa and grandma, please come and accompany him for a midnight snack!" Yu Yunxin said as she began to personally bring the food on the trays in the maids' hands to the table.

"Xin'er is really thoughtful. Now that we're here, let's try the midnight snack that Xin'er prepared for me!" Old man Yu said as he smelled the fragrance wafting from the delicacies on the table.

"Yes, mother, father, you please sit down first." Yu Tinghai let the two elders sit down first before he sat down himself.

"Grandpa and grandma, you two should eat some light and easy-to-digest seafood millet porridge!" Yu Yunxin said as she served two bowls of golden and fragrant seafood millet porridge to the two elders.

Then he served Yu Tinghai a bowl of cordyceps and wild mushroom chicken soup, which contained well-cooked boneless chicken legs.

"Our Xin'er is so sensible. We old man have been in the capital for several months, and Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan have never sent us any midnight snacks. Look, Xin'er brought ginseng and ganoderma lucidum when she came into the house, and she also prepared so many gifts for me. She is so thoughtful!" said Old Mrs. Yu, holding up the seafood porridge.

“But ginseng and ganoderma lucidum must be very expensive! You are really thoughtful.” Old man Yu blew on the porridge in the spoon and drank it directly. He was shocked by the delicious taste as soon as he took a sip.

Seeing Old Man Yu’s shocked expression after he ate the food, Old Lady Yu wanted to ask something immediately, but the delicious seafood porridge made her unconsciously push a spoonful of porridge with seashells into her mouth.

The two of them had never eaten such delicious porridge before, and after swallowing it, they unconsciously ate a few more spoonfuls.

Yu Yunxin smiled at the two elders and said, "Grandpa and grandma can't compare to ginseng and ganoderma lucidum to make you healthy and long-lived!"

Yu Tinghai smiled and looked at Yu Yunxin when he heard it: "Xin'er's grandparents, I will let them stay in the capital from now on. You must take good care of them in the future."

"Don't worry, father. I will never let you down. You just need to focus on your work." Yu Yunxin replied.
