Chapter 196 - 196 Make Him Crazy First

196 Make Him Crazy First

This injury was definitely real, and the serious injuries might not all be fake. His injuries had yet to recover, but he had to bring his injuries to the capital to show his loyalty.

No one in this world did not fall for this.

The man in black said, “Young Master, why did you secretly provoke King Ping to enter the capital?”

On that day at the Precious Peace Temple, the young master had asked him to send someone to keep an eye on the King of Liang. He had not understood what he meant, but not long after, the King of Liang’s spy in Youzhou had received a secret letter. He had no way of knowing the contents of the letter, but the King of Liang’s ambition had been inflated and he had begun to plan to bring the prince into the capital. He knew that the young master was involved.

Young Master had planned for Prince Liang to enter the capital.

Zhou Linghuai’s lips moved slightly. “If the vassal king doesn’t move, how can we interfere? You have to know that if you want to destroy him, you have to make him crazy first…”

The man in black froze.

Flowers withered when they were at their peak, and fire burned when they were heated. Young Master was dancing with his sword, and his ambition was to become an official.

Zhou Linghuai shook his head. “Just keep an eye on him.” He did not continue talking about the King of Liang and changed the topic. “How’s the situation in Youzhou?”

The man in black lowered his head and replied, “It’s still under control. Although the Marquis of Changxing is quite capable of using troops, he’s ambitious and extravagant. He has been guarding the Northern Region for three years without thinking about governance, but he’s been harsh on commoners, causing the people of the Northern Region to complain. A few days ago, the Northern Region was under martial law. It was said that a spy had sneaked in. The Marquis of Changxing ordered people to search everywhere.”

The corners of Zhou Linghuai’s mouth twitched slightly. “A spy?”

At midnight, Old Madam Yu returned to her room.

This trip to the Precious Peace Temple was a success. Old Madam Yu was a little tired and returned to her room to rest. Yu Youyao instructed the servants to pack up.

About ten minutes later, she was done packing.

The group left the Precious Peace Temple and boarded a carriage. The horses clattered back to the Yu Residence, and it took half an hour for them to return.

When Old Madam Yu returned to the residence, the family inevitably came out to welcome her.

When Yang Shuwan saw Old Madam Yu get out of the carriage, she quickly went up to her and took Nanny Liu’s place to support her. “It’s been hard on you today, Old Madam.”

Old Madam Yu glanced at her from the corner of her eye. “It’s not as hard as what you did. You had to go to the porridge shed early in the morning.”

It was a simple sentence, and she couldn’t tell what was going on, but Yang Shuwan felt very awkward when she heard it. “This is the last day of giving porridge. I have to keep an eye on it.”

Everyone escorted Old Madam Yu back to An Shou Hall.

After a long day, even with her granddaughter taking good care of her, Old Madam Yu was tired and couldn’t stand the filial piety on the surface.

After asking about her well-being, Madam Yao understood. “Since Old Madam is back safely, I can rest assured. I’ll return to the second branch to manage it. It’s time for Master to leave the office later.”

Everyone in the room was finally empty. Old Madam Yu leaned against the couch, looking tired. “I’m getting old, and my body is becoming more and more useless.”

Nanny Xu handed her a bowl of medicinal tea. “I think you’re feeling much better. Usually, when you go to the Precious Peace Temple, how can you tolerate it until this time? Even if you stay later, you’ll still return home at around 3pm.”

Now that she mentioned it, Old Madam Yu realized that it was true.

Recently, she had been using a lot of the medicinal cuisine, medicinal tea, and medicinal fragrance that Yao Yao had sent over. Usually, she felt that this was not bad, and she did not feel that it was any different from other supplements. However, after this ordeal, the effects were obvious.

Old Madam Yu smiled. “Our Yao Yao is talented and has grown up.”

The two of them chatted for a while before Bai Kui ordered someone to set the table.

At this moment, Qiu Xing came over. “Nanny Xu has made some medicinal cuisine. It’s light and appetizing, but also relieves fatigue. Eldest Miss ordered me to bring you a bowl.”

Nanny Liu took it with a smile. “There’s no one more considerate than Eldest Miss.”

As soon as Old Madam returned to the residence, all of them came forward to greet her. They said a lot of filial and considerate words, but when it came to filial piety, Eldest Miss was still the most considerate.

Old Madam Yu smiled. “That’s right!”

After a long day, Yu Youyao was also a little tired. After eating a bowl of medicinal cuisine and some porridge, she asked Dong Mei to find the golden beeswax Buddha pendant, a set of jade beads, as well as a chessboard made of camphor wood. Then, she brought Xia Tao to the Green House.

It was almost dark, so it wasn’t good for her to go to the Green House. However, Yu Youyao kept thinking about Uncle Sun’s alchemy. She had to make a trip there to feel at ease.

When they arrived at the Green House, Yu Youyao went to the pharmacy without even looking for her cousin.

However, not only was the door of the pharmacy tightly shut, but there was also a big piece of paper pasted outside. It was written in large strokes: “No unauthorized personnel.”

Even without naming her, Yu Yao knew very well that these words were clearly directed at her.

However, Yu Youyao was so angry that she tugged at the paper on the door and almost kicked it. She thought about how Uncle Sun was refining pills for her cousin and she did not know what was going on. Her rash actions might alarm Uncle Sun, and affect the refinement of the pills. She could only retract her foot angrily.

Xia Tao, who was following behind Yu Youyao, couldn’t help but lower her head and laugh.

Yu Youyao turned around and saw that her little shoulders were shaking. How could she not know that she was laughing secretly? She glared at her. “Don’t laugh anymore. If you laugh anymore, you won’t have your monthly allowance for this month.”

Xia Tao did not dare to laugh anymore. She quickly pursed her lips and held back her laughter. Her face trembled, looking very comical.

“Uncle Sun is too much. It’s just refining a pill. Why can’t anyone watch?” Yu Youyao ran to look for her cousin angrily. “No, I have to tell Cousin.”

Xia Tao followed behind and smiled.

The little girl ran to the study like the wind. “Cousin, Cousin, Uncle Sun is bullying…”

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Linghuai had just added a layer of paint on the zither. When he came out of the side room, he smelled of paint. He had mixed the paint used to make the zither himself, and he had also used precious resin paint. The smell was not as pungent as ordinary paint. Instead, there was a wooden fragrance.

Yu Youyao slammed the white paper with black words on it onto the table angrily. “I’m just a little curious about alchemy and wanted to see it for myself. But not only did Uncle Sun not let anyone see it, he even…” Her eyes widened and her cheeks puffed up in anger.” Cousin, look at what Uncle Sun has written. It’s too much. ”

Zhou Linghuai saw the words on it at a glance and couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, it’s indeed a little too much. If you want to see alchemy, I’ll bring you over to take a look. There’s no need for Uncle Sun to agree.”

Over the past few days, the little girl had been thinking about the Essence Protection Pill more than him. She also went to the Green House every day. Sometimes, she would go there a few times a day. Uncle Sun was probably annoyed by her.

When Yu Youyao heard this, she was delighted. However, she hesitated and said, “Forget it. Uncle Sun specially pasted a paper on the door. It’s probably not appropriate for him to be disturbed. If he doesn’t want me to see it, then so be it. I don’t think there’s anything to see in alchemy. I’m just a little curious. I don’t have to look. Refining the Essence Protection Pill is more important.”
