Chapter 720 - 720: Being Courteous for No Reason

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Master Xie looked puzzled as he turned to look at Xie Jingliu. “Didn’t he greet us just now? Why did he specially come over?”

Yu Youyao often mentioned her cousin in her letters. He even specially took a few more glances at him but he did not match the sickly and handicapped person in a wheelchair that Jingliu had described.

Jingliu said that this person was unfathomable.

He believed her.

Xie Jingliu was also a little confused. He only nodded and said, “He’s close to

Cousin, so it’s reasonable for him to be more polite.”

Yin Huaixi was invited into the house and he greeted his elders obediently.

Old Master Xie saw that his eyebrows were lowered and he looked obedient. For some reason, he thought of Second Brother Yu back then, and his eyelids twitched.

He felt that he had other hidden motives and couldn’t be taken lightly. His eyes couldn’t help but scrutinize him. He saw that this person’s face was like white jade, with the stars and moon as his eyes. He was like the mountains and seas, cold and hidden. His thoughts were as deep as water.

He was really unfathomable!

Old Master Xie became more wary, and his expression faded a little. “You’re Little Yao’er’s cousin and you’ve also taken good care of her. Our family can’t thank you enough. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Someone who was so courteous for no reason was definitely up to something.

Second Brother Yu was a ready-made example.

It was indeed the Imperial Court’s intention to help Second Brother Yu open the sea restriction. As a merchant, it was naturally impossible for the Xie family to go against the Imperial Court. This was an order and had to be done.

However, there was something hateful about this!

Due to the meritorious reputation of the Yu Residence’s ancestors and future generations, Second Brother Yu spared no effort to help the Xie Residence. From then on, the Xie Residence firmly believed in Second Brother Yu’s character and respected Old Madam Yu’s status as a woman.

They had thought that the entire Yu Residence was loyal and trustworthy, so they had agreed to marry Roujia into the Yu Residence. In the end, they had sacrificed Roujia’s life.

Yin Huaixi only said, “You’re all relatives that Cousin respects. It’s also rare for you to enter the capital and talk to her. Naturally, the Yu Residence doesn’t dare to be negligent. No matter how polite we are, it’s only right.”

When Old Master Xie heard these polite words, he understood what he meant. It was as if he was very close to Little Yao’er.

He was indeed right.

This young brat had ulterior motives and deliberately came here to establish his presence.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Old Madam Xie smiled and said, “Since he’s Little Yao’er’s cousin, he’s not an outsider. Quick, sit down and talk!”

She did not have much prejudice against her cousin, Little Yao’er, and her attitude was relatively gentle.

“Thank you, Old Madam.” Yin Huaixi followed suit and sat down in front of Xie Jingliu.

“What are vou thinking?” Xie Jingliu tilted his head to look at him. He kept feeling that after not seeing him for three years, Zhou Linghuai had grown older and his aura had become more majestic.

The two of them had been on good terms in the past and more or less knew each other, so they also felt that his attitude was a little strange.

You’re all my future relatives, so we definitely have to get to know one another from now on. Yin Huaixi smiled. “Cousin’s elders are naturally my elders. In front of my elders, what else can I do?!”

Xie Jingliu felt that these words were strange. As the two of them were cousins, he did not think too much about it.

However, when he thought about how this was also someone who had “snatched” his cousin, he was very unhappy. He did not like him at all.

He snorted coldly and ignored him.

Madam Wang hugged her fragrant and soft niece. “In Little Yao’er’s letter, she mentioned a lot that Cousin takes very good care of her. It was originally our familys turn to prepare etiquette and personally thank Young Master Zhou. However, it’s rare for our family to enter the capital and talk about kinship with Little Yao’er, so it’s inevitable that our etiquette will be delayed.”

“Eldest Aunt, you’re too polite,” The Xie family’s polite and distant attitude wasn’t in line with Yin Huaixi’s expectations so he could only talk about serious matters. “To be honest, I came to visit because of Cousin.’

The words “Eldest Aunt” made Madam Wang frown slightly before she calmed down.

The Xie Residence and the Yu Residence were in-laws. Since Zhou Linghuai represented the Yu Residence, it was not impossible for him to call her “Aunt.” After all, when they arrived at the Yu Residence, all the juniors in the residence called her that.

Old Master Xie’s eyelids twitched again, and his gaze became sharp.

Yin Huaixi braced himself and took out Old Madam Yu t s handwritten letter. “This is the letter that Matriarch entrusted to me before she died.’

Everyone’s gaze landed on the letter on the table.

The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Before Old Madam Yu died, she had entrusted a letter to Zhou Linghuai. What did this mean?

Old Madam Yu trusted Zhou Linghuai and indirectly entrusted her granddaughter to him. Zhou Linghuai had the right to interfere in her granddaughter’s future.

Old Master Xie’s face darkened.

Zhou Linghuai had yet to reach his prime. If it weren’t for the fact that there was no one to trust in this huge residence, how could Old Madam Yu have entrusted her beloved granddaughter to her cousin?

This also reflected Little Yao’er’s Isolated and helpless situation In the Yu

Residence.

She really couldn’t stay in the Yu Residence anymore.

Yin Huaixi took out one of the entrusted letters and handed it to Old Master Xie, but he did not mention the keepsake.

Old Master Xie unfolded it and took a look. Every word and sentence was about how Old Madam Yu entrusted Zhou Linghuai to take care of her granddaughter. His expression gradually turned solemn as he handed the letter to Old Madam Xie.

Old Madam Xie’s eyes turned red as she said sternly, “Let’s not beat around the bush. Just tell me the reason for your visit!”

Yu Youyao pursed her lips slightly. Her maternal grandfather and the others’ attitudes towards her cousin were polite and distant. She couldn’t interrupt and could only watch from the side.

She also knew that although the Xie family knew that her cousin took very good care of her, they had never interacted with him after all. They did not have any interaction, so it was inevitable that they would be a little wary.

Yin Huaixi hurriedly said, “l have a deep relationship with Cousin. Before Matriarch died, she entrusted Cousin to me. Naturally, I’ll fulfill her last wish and help Cousin return to her mother’s clan. I’ll also protect her in the future and not let her suffer any harm or grievances.”

These words were equivalent to a declaration.

He directly announced to the Xie Residence that he had promised Old Madam Yu that he would take care of Yu Youyao. The Xie Residence could not surpass Old Madam Yu, so they naturally could not stop him.

At the same time, he expressed to the Xie family that he wouldn’t hurt Yu

Youyao.

This was also a bottom line.

Yin Huaixi had specially come over today to tell them the truth. Regardless of whether the Xie family would be dissatisfied with him because of this, they should still give him face.

This was unlike Song Mingzhao’s overly cautious and magnanimous actions that made people fed up.

If it weren’t for the fact that the person involved was Little Yao’er, Old Master Xie would have admired Yin Huaixi’s straightforward behavior. Old Master Xie said coldly, “Our family understands what you mean.” He was just short of saying explicitly that he could get lost!

Yin Huaixi was also tactful and stood up. “In that case, I won’t disturb Old Master and Cousin’s reunion.. contemporary romance
