“A title?!” Yang Shuwan’s turbid eyes lit up. Yu Zongzheng had been promoted and was conferred a title for his wife. It was also a glorious matter.

“A lady, I’m a third-grade lady now…” An excited flush appeared on her ashen face. Then, she heard Yu Youyao continue slowly, “The Emperor has conferred the title of third-grade lady on my mother.”

Yang Shuwan’s mind was a little slow. She was excited for a long time before she realized that Yu Youyao had said “my mother”, not “mother.”

Her eyes widened as she screamed in disbelief, “No, that’s impossible. That b*tch, Xie Roujia, has been dead for so long. Even if Master wanted a title for his wife, he should have done it for me. How could it be Xie Roujia? Impossible, impossible…”

Yang Shuwan’s screams rang in her ears. Yu Youyao’s expression was indifferent. “Not only was my mother conferred the title of virtuous lady, but the Emperor also conferred the title of County Head of Shaoyi to me. He praised me for being filial, pure, and respectful.”

County Head? A fifth-grade noble title? Yang Shuwan felt as if someone was choking her throat. She looked at Yu Youyao in a daze, and saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Yu Youyao seemed to have thought of something and continued, “Some time ago, Father was promoted again. He is the third-grade Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs and also the 13th Imperial Censor. The Emperor has personally appointed him as an Imperial Censor, so his authority is powerful.” At this point, she looked up at Yang Shuwan and smiled slightly. “However, all of this has nothing to do with you anymore.” Just like that, she had managed to strike her where it hurt.

Yang Shuwan tried her best to widen her eyes and look at the window,

wanting to see the Yu Residence. However, she only saw the tightly shut lattice window and the dark and narrow room.

Only then did she truly feel that the wealth and glory of the Yu Residence really had nothing to do with her.

A wife’s status depended on her husband. She was Yu Zongzhengs legitimate wife and the mistress of the first branch. Why would her husband’s promotion and the family’s prosperity have nothing to do with her?

‘On what grounds?’

Yang Shuwan screamed and shouted crazily in her heart…

Yu Youyao walked out of the inner room. Behind her, Yang Shuwan screamed and cursed crazily.

Nanny Li cleaned up the basin and heard that First Madam had gone crazy again. Her expression was stiff. First Madam had been crazy for nearly three years, so she was not surprised.

Bi Tao was brewing medicine in the kitchen. When First Madam had gone crazy, she did not recognize anyone. Sometimes, she would even hurt someone.

After returning to An Shou Hall, Yu Youyao changed her clothes again.

At this moment, Yu Jianjia came over.

She was wearing a light purple dress with flowery makeup. Her figure was slender and delicate, and she was very beautiful. She bowed lightly to Yu Youyao. “Since my body isn’t strong enough, Grandmother depends on Eldest Sister to take care of her alone. It’s been hard on you.”

If it weren’t for the fact that Yu Jianjia was full of schemes, she would be willing to get close to such a polite and sensible person.

Yu Youyao said calmly, “Third Sister, you’re too polite. Please sit down.”

Only then did Yu Jianjia sit on a chair. Without beating around the bush, she said, “I came to find Eldest Sister today because of my maidservant, Bai Ye.” Yu Youyao was a little surprised.

After Bai Ye entered the residence, Yu Youyao had asked Xia Tao to keep an eye on her for a while. Seeing that Bai Ye was quite smart and had done her best to serve Yu Jianjia, she put this matter aside for the time being.

At this moment, when Yu Jianjia mentioned Bai Ye again, Yu Youyao actually felt that it was as she had expected.

However, she did not know what Yu Jianjia was plotting, and what role Bai Ye and her grandmother played.

Yu Jianjia had always been meticulous and thoughtful. She never let anyone control her, let alone pick the wrong side. She made her feel like she had no idea what to do.

It there was a problem, they would just have to deal with it.

Putting aside the Yu Residence, there was nothing to be afraid of Yu Jianjia’s inner residence tricks.

Yu Jianjia did not seem to notice Yu Youyao’s strange expression. She smiled and said, “Bai Ye’s grandmother’s health isn’t good. She and Bai Ye rely on each other and have a good relationship. Bai Ye has been in the residence for a few months, so she’s a little worried about her grandmother. Eldest Sister also knows that my body is weak and I can’t leave Bai Ye. The Yu Residence isn’t such an unreasonable family. Bai Ye’ s grandmother used to serve Grandmother. Moreover, Bai Ye did her best to serve me. I made the decision and gave Bai Ye the grace to send a carriage for her grandmother to come to the residence for their reunion.’

These words only expressed one thing: she wanted Bai Ye’s grandmother to enter the residence.

Moreover, every word and sentence was reasonable, and no one could find anything wrong.

The capable servants by their master’s side often received their master’s grace. Every year, they would have a few chances to visit their relatives. However, Yu Jianjia’s body was weak and she couldn’t leave her personal servants, so she brought her into the residence. Although it was a little inappropriate, it was probably reasonable.

Not to mention that this person had served her grandmother in the past, so their relationship was a little different.

As the Second Miss of the Yu Residence, it was only logical for Yu Jianjia to want to show some respect to her maidservant. Moreover, Yu Jianjia had always been kind. It was expected and reasonable for her to make such a request.

Not to mention her, even her grandmother would not refute Yu Jianjia.

Indeed!

Without waiting for Yu Youyao to speak, Yu Jianjia continued, “Just now, when 1 went to Grandmother’s house, I mentioned it to her, and she agreed. I shouldn’t have troubled Eldest Sister with such a small matter. However, Eldest Sister is in charge of the family, so I thought I should mention this to you.”

As expected, she did everything. Yu Youyao nodded. “l think you know your limits. Since she’s from your house, you can arrange what to do with this matter yourself.”

Yu Jianjia felt relieved. “Thank you, Big Sister!”

The sisters chatted for a while longer, mostly about Old Madam Yu e s health. Only then did Yu Jianjia return.

As soon as she left, Yu Youyao’s expression turned serious. She called Xia Tao over. “Go and investigate carefully about Bai Ye e s grandmother, especially about now she served in the residence back then.”

Xia Tao quickly agreed.

Previously, when Bai Ye mentioned the older maidservant, she had sent someone to investigate her carefully. Other than being a little suspicious of Yu Jianjia, she was also worried that Bai Ye would do something wrong.

She thought that since she was someone who served her personally, there was no harm in being cautious.

She hadn’t found anything previously, so there probably wouldn’t be any results this time. Since Yu Jianjia dared to openly discuss this matter with her, she wouldn’t let her find anything suspicious.

No matter the results of the investigation, she would have a way to deal with it in the future if she knew more about Bai Ye!s grandmother.

This investigation lasted for two days.

Xia Tao returned to the residence travel-worn and returned to her room to change her clothes. Then, she came over to report to Yu Youyao, “l looked for Nanny Liu and asked about Bai Ye’s grandmother. Nanny Liu said that Bai Ye’s grandmother’s surname is Lai. She’s rather smart and agile, so she did the cleaning in An Shou Hall. There’s nothing suspicious with her..”
