Old Madam Song sighed slightly. “Get someone to prepare lunch first. After lunch, send the guests back!”

In the Glazed Jade Courtyard, Song Wanhui was overjoyed when she found out that the birthday gift Yu Youyao had given her was made of lotus flowers that bloomed in the lotus lake. There was flower oil, flower essence, flower balm and a small box of lipstick.

Song Wanhui couldn’t help but open the gifts and try them on the spot. “The flower oil is refreshing and soft. After using the flower oil, it was easily absorbed and not greasy. By just applying a thin layer, there’s a hint of coolness when applied on the face. It’s not heavy and is very suitable for summer.”

Qi Sinian’s eyes lit up as he stared at Yu Youyao. “Tell me quickly, is there more?”

Tang Yunxi also looked at Yu Youyao expectantly. She had been staying in the nunnery previously, but no matter what Yu Youyao did, she would specially send someone to send her a portion.

Yu Youyao couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ll get someone to send it to you tomorrow!”

Qi Sinian and Tang Yunxi were satisfied.

However, Song Wanhui was dissatisfied. “This is my birthday gift. Tomorrow, you can’t favor one over the other.”

Yu Youyao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her. “I’ll give you another bottle of flower essence. That’s all.’

Among these things, flower essence was the most difficult to make.

There were more than a hundred lotus flowers, but she could only take out a small bottle of essence. It was difficult. Fortunately, the lotus lake was very big and there were many lotus flowers. She had a few maidservants in her courtyard who could help make it.

At this moment, Song Wanhui’s nanny came over. “Third Miss, lunch is already prepared in the reception pavilion.”

Song Wanhui was slightly stunned. It was not long after noon. Wasn’t it a little too early to eat now?

Moreover, the servants did not seem to have asked her for permission to prepare lunch?

It was impossible for the servants to make decisions on their own. That could only be arranged by the elders in the family.

Yu Youyao’s expression changed slightly. She stood up from her chair and smiled. “I didn’t eat much breakfast today. I’m feeling hungry now.”

Qi Sinian and Tang Yunxi also vaguely sensed something and expressed that they were a little hungry.

Song Wanhui was a little distracted as she brought them to the reception pavilion for lunch.

The small banquet was very sumptuous.

However, something had clearly happened to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, so they had arranged lunch in advance. Song Wanhui was thinking about family matters, and Yu Youyao and the others were not in the mood to eat.

As expected, less than ten minutes after lunch, the Marquis of Zhen’s wife arrived.

Her daughter’s birthday was supposed to be a good day, but there was no joy on her face. Instead, she looked worried.

When she saw them, the Marquis of Zhen’s wife forced a smile and said, “It was originally Third Miss’s birthday today, so the family was very happy and welcomed the few of you into the residence to play. Who knew…” At this point, she choked. “My son, Mingzhao, suddenly fell unconscious and hasn’t woken up yet.”

The few of them also knew the severity of the matter. Now that something had happened to the heir of the Marquis of Zhen, it was not good for them to stay any longer. They comforted the Marquis’s wife and even took the initiative to leave.

Although the Marquis of Zhen’s wife was worried about her son, she still had to be polite. “It’s my fault for not entertaining you well today.”

Yu Youyao quickly said, “The heir’s health is more important.”

Qi Sinian and Tang Yunxi also said, “Don’t neglect the heir’s health because of us.” contemporary romance

The Marquis’s wife sent her nanny, who was in charge of the residence, to accompany the few young misses back.

A few children from prominent families were guests at the Zhenguo Marquis Residence. After a hasty lunch, they were “chased” back to the residence to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings. The Zhenguo Marquis Residence had to answer to the elders of the families.

Seeing that Yu Youyao had returned early, Old Madam Yu was a little surprised.

Then, when she saw the Marquis’s wife nanny from the Zhenguo Marquis Residence beside her, she guessed that something had happened in the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, so it wasn’t good to entertain guests.

The Marquis’s wife nanny was eloquent. As she wiped her tears, she said, “I

don’t know what happened to the Heir, but he suddenly fainted. The family

hired a few imperial physicians in a row, but they all said that the Heir was so

anxious that he fainted. He was given acupuncture and medicine, but he didn’t

wake up. Old Madam and First Madam were so anxious that they didn’t know what to do…”

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she was also shocked. She quickly asked,

“Imperial Physician Hu from the Imperial Academy of Medicine is very skilled.

Did you invite him to take a look at the heir?”

The nanny’s eyes flashed. “Yes, Imperial Physician Hu is still at home.”

Imperial Physician Hu said that the heir was so anxious that his heart palpitations acted up, causing him to be unconscious. He was afraid that he would have a heart disease in the future. However, with such a bad illness, every family had to hide it and not let outsiders know.

Old Madam Yu immediately asked Nanny Liu to prepare expensive medicinal herbs. The most precious item was a 500-year-old ginseng. This was a good thing that could save lives. It was very rare.

The old people of wealthy families had to prepare a few life-saving items in case of emergencies.

How could her mother dare to accept it? She quickly declined.

Old Madam Yu insisted on giving it to her, so the nanny couldn’t refuse and could only accept it.

After Nanny Liu sent the nanny out, Old Madam Yu did not mention Song Mingzhao. She turned to her granddaughter and said, “You’re tired too. Go back and rest. Today, the palace rewarded us with a small basket of green lychees. We’ve also distributed some of the things that should be distributed in the residence. Your second aunt has been filial and left half a basket. I’ve already ordered someone to send it to the Jade Courtyard. Keep it for yourself.” At this point, she couldn’t help but remind her, “Although green lychees are delicious, you can’t eat too much at once.”

This time, the first and second branches received rewards from the palace.

When Yu Youyao heard this, she knew that most of the green lychees rewarded by the palace had been left to her by her grandmother. “Thank you, Grandmother. ”

After Yu Youyao left, Old Madam Yu couldn’t help but worry. “The nanny of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence didn’t say it explicitly, but I saw that her expression was a little strange. I’m afraid Mingzhao’s illness isn’t as simple as she says.”

Nanny Liu agreed wholeheartedly.

As Song Mingzhao’s situation was unknown, it wasn’t appropriate for her to say anything else. Old Madam Yu sighed slightly. “Help me to the temple hall.” Nanny Liu helped Old Madam into the temple hall.

Old Madam Yu knelt in front of the Buddha and closed her eyes. As she twirled her prayer beads, she recited the Buddhist Scripture. She only hoped that her

6,000 merit points could eliminate calamities, hidden dangers, and calamities.

Yu Youyao had received a lot of green lychees, and the residence had given her some more.

The next day, Yu Youyao got someone to send over the essence that she had promised Qi Sinian.

Yu Youyao also received gifts from Song Wanhui and the others.

Song Wanhui had given her a calligraphy piece by Wang Xizhi, and it was even a famous calligraphy piece.

A wealthy family’s calligraphy was far more expensive than fine items. A masterpiece like this was basically kept as a family heirloom. It was top-notch.

When Yu Youyao received the calligraphy piece, she felt very emotional.

However, the maidservant from the Zhenguo Marquis Residence also said, “Eldest Miss has also been practicing calligraphy for a while, so Old Madam gave her this calligraphy piece. Eldest Miss’s wrist couldn’t take it, so she didn’t continue. This calligraphy piece would be more useful to Eldest Miss Yu than her. Eldest Miss Yu, don’t refuse..
