Chapter 320 - 320 With Cousin Around

320 With Cousin Around

Zhou Linghuai chuckled. “Don’t worry, Cousin is here.”

What he did not say was that there were very few imperial physicians who knew how to treat drowning. On the other hand, although the imperial physicians hired by the main courtyard were proficient in internal illnesses, they did not happen to know this.

As soon as he received the news that Yu Shansi had drowned, he had guessed this situation. He had arranged for someone to invite Imperial Physician Shi, who had also arrived at the Yu Residence early in the morning.

However, since the little girl had made a move, he had to give her a chance to perform.

It was also to let others see how outstanding his young lady was.

Therefore, when he found out that the little girl had stabilized the situation in the Songtao Courtyard and used the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, he knew that Yu Shansi was most likely fine. Naturally, he couldn’t let others snatch the little girl’s hard work.

He ordered someone to park Imperial Physician Shi’s carriage at the side door of the alley behind the Yu Residence.

Only when Yu Shansi was completely fine did he get someone to bring the imperial physician into Songtao Courtyard.

In other words, no matter what, Yu Shansi would be fine.

“Thank you, Cousin.” Yu Youyao had also guessed that her cousin must have made arrangements early on. Her eyes lit up and she blinked at her cousin with a playful expression.

Half of Zhou Linghuai’s body was numb. He kept feeling that there was light and electricity in her eyes. This light was aimed at his heart. When the light shined into it, it was like electricity, and even his heart became bright.

Yu Youyao tilted her head. “Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?”

Zhou Linghuai’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked up again. “Cousin, you’re not afraid in the face of danger. You can handle everything appropriately.”

There was no need for him to do anything.

Yu Youyao smiled. “I learned it all from Cousin!”

In her nightmare, the old Yao Yao married into the Zhenguo Marquis Residence under her grandmother’s orders. She wasn’t stupid. Her grandmother had taught her how to do things for others, but she hadn’t taught her how to be sensible and how to be sinister.

Therefore, she entered the Zhenguo Marquis Residence ignorantly.

In the end, she died in the sinister hands of others.

After a nightmare and taking a closer look at the people around her, she knew that fate was in her hands. Nanny Xu had taught her appropriate logic and methods.

It was her cousin who had taught her bit by bit and refined her temperament.

She had learned that one had to plan their life bit by bit. No matter what danger they were in, they could be fearless and find the best way out for themselves.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Shi finished examining Yu Shansi’s body. “Out of ten people who drown, nine die. Fortunately, your residence used a strange fragrance like the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill to save Fourth Young Master’s life. After that, it was handled in time and with proper technique. Fourth Young Master’s life was saved. His body is fine, and there is no harm to his body.”

Yang Shuwan finally felt relieved and quickly smiled. “It’s good that Brother Si is fine. Thank you for making this trip today.”

She spoke as if it was all thanks to the imperial physician that Yu Shansi was fine.

Imperial Physician Shi nodded and said very frankly, “It’s also because your family treated him well. Otherwise, if such a young child like Fourth Young Master really waited for me to come, I’m afraid he would have lost his soul. Madam, you don’t have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, you should thank the person who saved Fourth Young Master’s life.”

When everyone heard this, they understood. Fortunately, Eldest Miss had reacted quickly and restrained First Madam. Otherwise, Fourth Young Master would have lost his life.

Yang Shuwan glanced at Yu Youyao with an ugly expression.

What gratitude for saving her life?

How was that possible!

If Yu Youyao hadn’t harmed Si’er, he wouldn’t have suffered like this and almost lost his life.

The old imperial physician changed the topic and said, “However, Fourth Young Master is still young. It’s inevitable that he’ll be shocked by this drowning. I’ll prescribe a few divine medicines and he’ll be fine after taking them for a few days.”

Yang Shuwan quickly followed the old imperial physician to the door to get the prescription.

The Songtao Courtyard finally calmed down.

Old Madam Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “Yao Yao, it’s all thanks to you that Brother Si survived today.”

Now that something had happened to Yu Sishan, as a mother, Madam Yang was actually at a loss and panicked. She tried her best to be strong as a mother, but she had said the wrong thing and targeted Yao Yao, almost costing Brother Si’s life.

Yu Youyao shook her head. “I was the one who renovated the Songtao Courtyard. Now that Fourth Brother has an accident, I’m also…”

“Since the matter hasn’t been investigated clearly, don’t be in a hurry to take responsibility for it.” Old Madam Yu’s expression darkened, and she interrupted her. “It’s also a fact that you saved Brother Si’s life!”

Recalling how Yang Shuwan had scolded her and said that she was the one who had harmed Yu Shansi, Yu Youyao pursed her lips and her eyes turned red with grievance. “Grandmother…”

Her aggrieved expression made Old Madam Yu’s heart ache terribly. She pulled her granddaughter into her arms. “My dear granddaughter is very smart. How could she do such a vicious and stupid thing? She suffered today. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you justice. I won’t let anyone slander you.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “I’ll go with Grandmother. When Fourth Brother drowned, I asked Mother Tao to gather all the servants who came and went from the Songtao Courtyard today into the side courtyard. It’ll be convenient for us to ask questions later.”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yu knew that after Yu Shansi drowned, her granddaughter had already made arrangements and taken control of the overall situation. This way, she would be able to change from being passive to taking the initiative. She would be able to deal with the subsequent matters, and she wouldn’t be helpless.

This girl had indeed improved. Old Madam Yu smiled in relief. “Then let’s go. We can’t delay this matter.”

Yu Youyao helped her grandmother out of the house.

Old Madam Yu tilted her head and glanced at her granddaughter with a complicated expression.

Yang Shuwan had been pregnant with Yu Jianjia when Madam Xie was pregnant.

After careful calculation, Madam He had actually been pregnant before Madam Xie gave birth to Yao Yao.

It was unknown if it was retribution. After Madam Xie’s death, so many years had passed, but other than Yu Shansi, there was actually no male in the main family.

As for Yu Shansi, he had also become the only male heir.

No matter how much she disliked Madam Yang and was not close to her grandson, Yu Shansi was Eldest Son’s only legitimate son. As his grandmother, how could she not value him?

In the government office, Zhao Da was shocked when he heard that Fourth Young Master had drowned.

He instantly understood what Eldest Miss meant.

When Master asked Eldest Miss to repair the Songtao Courtyard, Eldest Miss was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to do it well, so she suggested that he help her with it. Although Eldest Miss was the one who had suggested that the Songtao Courtyard be repaired, she had always discussed everything with him.

Songtao Courtyard was half his business.

Eldest Miss was the master, and he was the slave. Eldest Miss had the credit for Songtao Courtyard’s matter, but it was also his fault that Fourth Young Master had drowned.
