All Hail Cousin Brother

310 Protecting You

After calculating, the little girl was busy every day for a total of 14 hours. She only had 10 hours to rest and did not even have time to play.

Yu Youyao thought for a moment. “There’s still more time. If I can maintain sleep for more than four hours a day, I won’t feel tired during the day.”

In the past, with her grandmother protecting her, she wanted to be a carefree little fish.

But!

After a nightmare, she looked at the people around her seriously and realized that people without strength were not qualified to be free small fish.

Because they would be eaten!

Ms. Ye was right. It was always good to learn more principles at such a young age.

Fortunately, with her cousin around, it wouldn’t be too difficult for her to learn anything. Otherwise, how could she take it?

It was great to have a cousin! The little girl looked at her cousin with sparkling eyes, filled with admiration and gratitude.

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips. He still remembered the day he first entered the Yu Residence—

The little girl sat beside Old Madam Yu. She was small, exquisite, round, and smooth. She was a little “rounder” than the other young mistresses in the residence, and she looked delicate and bright.

It had only been three months! She had already lost weight.

The petite girl had also grown a lot taller. Even the carefreeness in her eyes had been replaced by a fierce glow. She was already like a big girl.

Zhou Linghuai’s heart trembled. “In the future, you’ll learn the zither every three days. You’re young, so it’s good for you to learn more, but you still have to play.”

In the past, she had been such a delicate, lazy, greedy, and playful person. Unknowingly, she had grown up to the point where she could take responsibility. However, he did not feel relieved at all.

His heart ached for her.

Yu Youyao tilted her head and smiled. “Cousin, you’re so impressive. As your cousin, I naturally can’t embarrass you. Even if I can’t be as impressive as you, I have to learn more.”

So, all of this was because of him?

Zhou Linghuai’s heart trembled. “You don’t have to force yourself. I’ll have never asked you to…”

I’ve never asked you to do anything you don’t like for me.

I just want to protect you and make you happy for the rest of your life.

Protect your heart that’s like glass, pure and flawless!

Yu Youyao shook her head and interrupted her cousin. “I’m not forcing myself. Cousin spends a lot of time teaching me every day. Although I’m the one who has to learn, the one who’s suffering is Cousin.”

She had notes written by her cousin for her studies every day, so it wasn’t difficult for her to learn them. Now that she wanted to learn Heavenly Works, she also had her cousin to help her interpret it. contemporary romance

The person who was really suffering was her cousin.

She felt a little sorry for her cousin.

Zhou Linghuai stroked her hair gently. “I don’t have anything else to do now. While guiding you, I can also revise and learn new things. That’s good. I don’t feel tired.”

Yu Youyao looked at her cousin and smiled.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching.

This was a rare grand event in the capital. Every year, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the capital would be lively. Everyone prayed for the wind and rain to be smooth, to eliminate illnesses and disasters, and to avoid evil and filth.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, there were traditions in the residence, so Yu Youyao did not have to worry.

Yu Youyao was also happy and relaxed. She went to the Songtao Courtyard with Xia Tao.

The renovation of the Songtao Courtyard was almost complete. All the household items, decorations, tools, and so on were moved in one after another.

The courtyard was very big. There were orchids and bamboo inside, and the pines and cypresses were adorable. It was very elegant. There was even a lake in the courtyard. Beside it was a small rockery. The water slowly flowed into the lake from the rockery. There was also an octagonal pavilion at the side. When she walked into the pavilion, she saw an elegant scene.

After Yu Youyao saw this, she nodded. “Check it carefully again. Fourth Brother is still young, so it’s inevitable that he’ll be playful. Especially the fence around the small lake. We have to check that it’s safe.”

As Yu Shansi was still young, Yu Youyao instructed the craftsmen in the residence to circle the lake with wooden railings. This way, it would be safer.

Xia Tao did not dare to be careless and quickly agreed.

Yu Youyao explained some more safety matters and said, “When Father comes back tonight, I’ll ask him when Fourth Brother will move in.”

Xia Tao quickly said, “Young Miss, don’t worry. General Songtao Courtyard’s matters have been arranged this afternoon.”

Yu Youyao nodded and glanced at the door of the Songtao Courtyard from the corner of her eye. There was a servant looking around.

She saw that this servant was not tall and was only eight or nine years old. There was a bruise on his eyes and the corner of his mouth. Looking at his injuries, he seemed to have been beaten up.

Yu Youyao frowned and turned to ask Xia Tao, “Do you recognize him?”

Xia Tao followed Young Miss’s gaze and saw the servant shrink his head, but she still saw him clearly. “He should be the servant in front of Fourth Young Master, Mo Cai. He’s Fourth Young Master’s nanny’s son.”

Yu Shansi was about to move to Songtao Courtyard, so it made sense for his servant to come over in advance to investigate.

However!

Yu Youyao’s eyes flickered. “Go and ask around about the injury on Mo Cai’s face.”

Xia Tao wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Yu Youyao saw this, she knew that Xia Tao had probably heard about it long ago. She said, “If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to hesitate.”

Only then did Xia Tao say, “I heard that Fourth Young Master didn’t learn well from his teacher. Every time he was punished by the teacher, he would vent his anger on Mo Cai and often smash things.”

Hearing this, Yu Youyao was a little surprised.

Her father valued Yu Shansi very much. Other than the fact that Yu Shansi was his only legitimate son, the main reason was that Yu Shansi was talented and smart. At a young age, he had been diligent and motivated. Her father was often proud of this.

In the past, when had her father ever reprimanded her without speaking up for Yu Shansi? “As the eldest sister, you’re not as sensible, studious, and motivated as your younger brother in the family…”

She did not have much contact with Yu Shansi. Although she had heard that he had a problem with being spoiled, she thought that he was still a child after all. He should really be a little smart, which was why her father had taken such a fancy to him.

However, after hearing Xia Tao’s words today, it seemed to be completely different?

...

Yu Youyao frowned. “Where did you hear that?”

Xia Tao said, “Liu’er used to serve in the main courtyard. Although she was only a little girl in charge of sweeping, she could more or less hear some news about such matters. I also heard some specious words in the residence…”

Liu’er was quiet, while Xia Tao was smart. Neither of them was someone who spoke without thinking. Since these words had reached her ears, they were most likely not groundless.

After returning to the Jade Courtyard, Yu Youyao called Liu’er over and asked about Yu Shansi in detail.

Liu’er lowered her head and said, “Eldest Madam is personally in charge of everything in Fourth Young Master’s house, and the people she uses are all her trusted aides. The maidservants in the courtyard are not even allowed to approach Fourth Young Master’s door without permission.”
