Chapter 452: Stupid and Pretentious

Her words were neither light nor heavy. She did not say that she would forgive her.

Yu Qingning was dissatisfied, but her eyes turned slightly red. She said weakly, “Eldest Sister, I was also foolish that day, so I did such a ridiculous thing.

During this period of time, Nanny Jin has taught me many rules and principles. Eldest Sister is the eldest sister in the family, so it’s only right for her to respect the elders and take care of the young.”

Yu Youyao suddenly found it funny.

After being locked up in the courtyard for half a year and being strictly disciplined by the nanny from the Education Department, Yu Qingning had suffered a lot recently. Even her figure had become thin.

Her pretense of looking weak, pitiful, and aggrieved was really—

Yu Youyao glanced at Yu Jianjia calmly and said calmly, “In that case, let Nanny Jin stay in the residence and teach Fourth Sister for a while. It’ll be good if you can learn more rules.”

Yu Qingning’s eyes widened in shock, and she subconsciously looked at Old

Madam Yu.

Shouldn’t Yu Youyao apologize sincerely and take the initiative to say that she didn’t care enough for her? This way, the two of them could bury the hatchet in front of her grandmother and reconcile.

If Yu Youyao had forgiven her, her grandmother naturally wouldn’t be angry with her. Perhaps if she was happy, her grandmother would send Nanny Jin back to the Education Department and no longer detain her in the courtyard.

But what was going on now?

Why was it different from what she had imagined?!

Old Madam Yu’s expression darkened a lot. She glanced at Yu Qingning. “Your big sister is only doing this for you. What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to thank her?”

Yu Qingning had indeed improved a lot. At the very least, she was not as rude as before.

She was really like Yang Shuwan.

Yu Jianjia was sickly and weak. Although she looked weak, she was well-behaved and well-mannered, showing the upbringing of a young lady.

Yu Qingning’s was really stupid and pretentious. She had inherited everything from Yang Shuwan.

Old Madam’s sharp gaze shot over. Yu Qingning shuddered and quickly said, “Thank you, Eldest Sister. I’ll definitely learn the rules from Nanny Jin in the future.’

Yu Youyao smiled but did not speak.

Yu Qingning thought that as long as she apologized sincerely, her grandmother would change her opinion of her.

Unfortunately, Yu Qingning still did not understand. Her biggest mistake was not causing a commotion at her eldest sister’s birthday banquet, but because she was unruly and did not recognize her ident.i.ty, causing chaos between the first and second wives.

If she had really changed, she should not have mentioned it.

Behaving yourself was the best performance.

Yu Qingning slowly lowered her eyes and secretly tightened her grip on her handkerchief.

Although her grandmother doted on Yu Youyao, she was also very tolerant of the other daughters in the family. In the past, she had caused a lot of trouble with Yu Youyao.

When her mother found out, she wouldn’t be too harsh on her. She would only reprimand her a little. “You sisters are making a fuss. As your mother, I can’t interfere too much. However, I can’t ignore you. As the eldest sister, Yao Yao should give in to her younger sisters. However, as a younger sister, you should respect her.”

Although her grandmother was a little dissatisfied, at most, she would only give her a few words of warning. “You’re all sisters in the family. Why are you causing trouble all day? I’ll punish you with three months’ worth of monthly allowance.”

She was indignant and wanted to argue with her father.

As long as she showed that as the eldest sister, she was not modest and even bullied her younger sister, her father would definitely teach Yu Youyao a lesson in the end.

As time pa.s.sed, Yu Qingning’s arrogance grew.

Facing Yu Youyao, she became even more arrogant.

After causing a commotion at Yu Youyao’s birthday banquet, her concubine mother was locked up in a small courtyard and completely lost any favor. She was detained by her grandmother in the Hanlu Courtyard and was not allowed to go out.

She knew that it was inappropriate, but she did not feel that she was in the wrong.

She just hated Yu Youyao.

It was Yu Youyao who had caused her to be in such a sorry state.

Yu Qingning was resentful, but she still remembered her goal. She quickly smiled. “Grandmother, you’re old, but you still have to worry about me often. I embroidered an embroidery screen for you to pray for your health.”

With that, she took the sandalwood box from the maidservant’s hand and walked up to Old Madam Yu, handing it over respectfully.

Nanny Liu quickly took it.

Old Madam Yu’s expression softened a little. “You’re too kind.”

Just because of this, if it weren’t for the scene of her apologizing just now, she would really have thought highly of Yu Qingning.

She had started embroidering this embroidery screen in May. It had taken her half a year to finish it. It required a lot of effort, but she only received this sentence in exchange.

Yu Qingning was not angry, but she lowered her head and said, “Grandmother, I’m grateful and respectful. It’s my duty to show filial piety to you.”

Old Madam Yu was a little dazed.

In the past, Yu Qingning was a little smart. However, as she grew older, she became more scheming. Furthermore, she was manipulated by Yang Shuwan, so she gradually forgot her place.

If Yu Qingning hadn’t been nurtured by Yang Shuwan, she would have been a smart person based on her performance just now.

Old Madam Yu turned to look at Nanny Liu. “Open it.”

Nanny Liu quickly smiled and opened the box.

Old Madam Yu picked up the neatly folded embroidery screen and slowly unfolded it. On the wide screen were half the height of a person, green Bodhi branches and leaves embroidered. There were small words embroidered with hairpin flowers.

Yu Qingning’s embroidery skills were exquisite, and her handwriting was beautiful and smooth. At a glance, her golden words seemed to emit a Buddhist light. It was obvious that she had spent a lot of effort.

After all, it was a gift that her granddaughter had meticulously prepared. Although her intentions were impure, Old Madam Yu was still very happy. “It’s the Sutra of Longevity. It’s such a big embroidered screen. It must have been embroidered for a long time!”

After being praised, Yu Qingning finally felt a little better. “It’s been embroidered for about half a year. It’s good as long as Grandmother likes it.” Old Madam Yu’s expression darkened even more.

As soon as Yao Yao stepped into the house, she rushed forward to greet her and apologize. Her words were beautiful and appropriate, but there was no sincerity.

She spent half a year embroidering such a big embroidery screen to make her happy.

She really felt sorry for Yao Yao. Why didn’t she even see a handkerchief?

Yu Jianjia put down her teacup and said gently, “Fourth Sister’s embroidery skills have improved a lot. I see a leaf and a Bodhi on this embroidery screen. Every word and sentence is filled with piety.”

Yu Youyao smiled slightly.

She suddenly felt that it wasn’t unreasonable for Yu Qingning to not vent her anger on them even though she had been tricked by Yu Jianjia and her daughter countless times.

For a proud daughter of a concubine like Yu Qingning, what she cared about the most was the respect and praise of others.

Indeed!

Yu Qingning smiled. “Thank you for your praise, Third Sister.”

After Old Madam Yu finished looking at the screen, she asked Nanny Liu to put it away.

Seeing that Old Madam had no other intention, Yu Qingning was a little disappointed..
