At this time, Qian Qing, who was following behind Yu Yunxi, reminded softly,
“Eldest Princess, Junjin is still in the King of Youshan’s Residence.”
Qian Qing knew how much Yu Yunxi loved the little bun. Hence, she knew that Yu Yunxi would likely be unable to part with the little bun.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi said calmly, “It’s fine. I can rest assured if he stays with
Feng Yili.”
At this time, Yu Yunxi trusted Feng Yili completely.
Qian Qing sighed in relief when she heard these words. She was naturally happy that Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili were so close.
When Yu Yunxi and Qian Qing returned to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, they happened to see the carriage of the second branch of the Yu family at the entrance.
At this time, Yu Shuangshuang was helping Old Madam Zhou down from the carriage.
As soon as Old Madam Zhou got off the carriage, she quickly pulled her hand away from Yu Shuangshuang’s hand. Her expression was stern, accentuating the wrinkles on her face, as she glanced at Yu Shuangshuang and berated in disgust. “You uneducated thing. vour feet were ahead of mine earlier. Didn’t anyone teach you not to walk ahead of your elders?”
Yu Shuangshuang and the other two concubines’ daughters quickly lowered their heads.
“Grandmother, I know my mistake.”
At this moment, Yu Xiaoxiao, who wore a pink dress, walked out of the residence. She ran toward Old Madam Zhou happily and said, “Grandmother, you’re finally back! I missed you so much!”
Old Madam Zhou smiled as soon as she saw how cute Yu Xiaoxiao was. The creases around her eyes were very obvious when she smiled. She said affectionately, “You’re the only one who’s filial.”
“Grandmother, I already ordered the servants to prepare your favorite food. You must be tired from the journey,” Yu Xiaoxiao said, continuing to act cute.
“Good, good. Grandmother really didn’t dote on you for nothing. I obtained a talisman from an eminent monk. With it, your relationship with the Crown Prince will only get better and better,” Old Madam Zhou said before she ordered a servant to bring the talisman over.
Yu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet and pretended to be embarrassed as she said, “Grandmother, I haven’t married the Crown Prince yet. Isn’t it inappropriate to say such words now?”
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhou said proudly, “Everyone in the capital knows that the Crown Prince treats you the best. When you enter the Eastern Palace and give birth to a son in the future, you’ll be the most respected woman…”
“Grandmother, what are you saying? There are still the Empress and the Empress Dowager. If someone hears you, it’ll be bad,” Yu Xiaoxiao said shyly. Despite her words, her face was red, and she was pleased.
‘That’s right. If I can give birth to a son for the Crown Prince in the future, I’ll be the future Empress!’
After a moment, Yu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “Let’s go in and talk,
Grandmother.”
However, Old Madam Zhou stopped Yu Xiaoxiao and said, “Wait. I want to introduce three people to you.”
‘Introduce three people to me?’
Yu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. In the next moment, she saw three young women getting out of the carriage.
“Grandmother, they are…”
Seeing the three beautiful women, Yu Xiaoxiao felt very uncomfortable.
Old Madam Zhou did not seem to notice Yu Xiaoxiao’s displeasure. She smiled and said, “They’re your aunt’s daughters. Since your aunt married far away, she rarely returns to the capital. As such, you’ve never met your three cousins. They were very filial and followed me to the temple to meditate before this. It’s a pity your aunt passed away early. If your cousins were to stay in that remote place, it’d be a waste of their beauty and talent. As such, I decided to bring them to the capital and ask your father to find a good match for them.”
Then, Old Madam Zhou turned to the three young women and said, “Qingping, Qingxin, Qingrui; this is your cousin, Xiaoxiao.”
Kang Qingpin and Kang Qingxin hurriedly walked over and held Yu Xiaoxiao’s hands.
“You’re Sister Xiaoxiao. You’re really beautiful. Girls from the capital are really different from us…
Yu Xiaoxiao’s vanity was greatly satisfied when she heard this. Nonetheless, she still looked down on the Kang sisters greatly in her heart. She withdrew her hands and said arrogantly, “Since your Aunt’s daughters and Grandmother brought you here, I’ll allow you to stay in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence for the time being.”
At this moment, Qian Qing, who was standing nearby, said derisively, “With the way she behaves, those who don’t know better would think that the King of Zhenbei’s Residence belongs to her.”
It seemed like some people would forget their true identity after putting on a disguise for a long time.
Qian Qing’s voice was not loud, but the group of people standing nearby heard her words clearly.
Old Madam Zhou turned around and looked over with a sharp gaze. She berated, “Who dares to cause trouble in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence?”
Yu Yunxi disdained to engage with Old Madam Zhou. She did not even look at the other party as she said to Qian Qing, “Let’s go.”
“Yes, Eldest Princess.”
‘Eldest Princess? So she’s the evil creature that Yu Moqiong and Princess Changning gave birth to?’
An expression of disgust appeared on Old Madam Zhou’s face when she discovered Yu Yunxi’s identity. Seeing that Yu Yunxi was about to walk into the residence, she said angrily, “Stop right there. Shouldn’t you come over and bow when you see your grandmother?”
Yu Yunxi paused in her tracks. Then, she turned to look at Old Madam Zhou and said with a half-smile, “Grandmother? Old Madam Zhou, you seemed to have forgotten that not long after my biological grandmother passed away, my grandfather also passed away. Before he died, he didn’t make you his legitimate wife. Come to think of it, you were just a concubine of the Yu family. What right do you have to make me, the Eldest Princess, acknowledge you as my grandmother? Aren’t you afraid of losing your life?”
Back then, Old Master Yu only had two women in his life. One was Old Madam Yu, and the other was Old Madam Zhou. After Old Master Yu and Old Madam Yu died, seeing that Old Madam Zhou was the only one left and that she was Yu Feng’s biological mother, the servants began to address her as ‘Old Madam’. As time passed, she even thought of herself as the legitimate wife.
Apart from that, Yu Moqiong also did not care about these trivial matters. He did not correct the way the servants addressed Old Madam Zhou. With this, Old Madam Zhou just assumed that he recognized her as his mother.
However, Yu Yunxi’s casual words completely revealed her original identity.
Old Madam Zhou was terrifyingly dark. She said shrilly, “How can you say that?
Even your father respects me! Is it important if I’m your biological grandmother or not? Perhaps you were raised outside so you don’t have a good upbringing!”
Old Madam Zhou acted like she was the King of Zhenbei’s mother for many years so half of the people in the capital were quite respectful to her. How could she not be furious that a junior like Yu Yunxi disrespected her?
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaoxiao was extremely excited as she watched the confrontation between Yu Yunxi and Old Madam Zhou.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi was too lazy to bother with Old Madam Zhou. She said nonchalantly, “Let’s go, Qian Qing.”
Old Madam Zhou’s body trembled violently in anger as she watched Yu Yunxi disappear out of sight.
‘That evil creature really dares ignore me!’
At this moment, Yu Xiaoxiao seized the chance to add fuel to the fire, saying, “Don’t be angry, Grandmother. Sister has always been like that. She’s the Eldest Princess, after all..
