Yu'er was originally a personal maid that her mother had personally picked for her. She had grown up with her, and the affection between them was like that of a sister. Speaking of Yu'er, she was also a strange person. Her appearance was just like his name suggested. Although she wasn't the top beauty, she was still fair and pretty. Her slender and delicate appearance gave her the aura of a scholar. If you stood there and didn't speak, it would be common for you to be mistaken for a young lady.
It was just that his straightforward personality made him feel slightly uncomfortable. To put it bluntly, straightforward and devoid of any scheming, one would be puzzled upon encountering something that added to one's caution, and would be extremely distressed.
Knowing what Yu'er was about to say, Yun Qiu picked up the half-embroidered item without even looking at her, carefully stitching it in his hands as he smirked lightly and said nonchalantly, "This should be a good thing. What's not good about it?"
The embroidery in her hand was suddenly taken away by Yu'er. When Yun Qiu raised his head to look at her helplessly, he saw Yu'er's eyebrows furrow in anxiety. She said resentfully, "Miss, don't interrupt. Listen to this servant."
Yun Qiu immediately sat upright upon hearing this. "Alright, I won't interrupt, go ahead."
Yu'er's anxiety did not ease due to Yun Qiu's cooperation. She asked carefully, "Miss, do you know who the person who was betrothed to Second Miss?"
Yun Qiu maintained his composure. "Who is it?"
"Yes …" "It's Young Master Ning." Yu'er thought that she was' leaving no trace 'after she finished speaking and stood in front of Yun Qiu. She squinted at her face, afraid that Yun Qiu would make another mistake if she couldn't think of something.
When Yun Qiu heard this, his expression did not change. He only replied with an "Oh" to indicate that he had heard it. Yu'er had taken the embroidery in his hands and was embroidering it meticulously. He looked extremely serious.
Yu'er looked at Yun Qiu quizzically for a while, but found nothing amiss. The young miss was obviously not in the least bit of concern for the matter.
Normally, a girl like her fiancé would not be so calm when she suddenly became someone else's. This was a major event related to a famous lady. Young miss was such a gentle and virtuous young lady, what she cared the most about was a famous girl.
He had to admit that Yu'er's coarse nerves were by no means unworthy of her reputation. In this courtyard, she was probably the only one who thought that her young mistress was a gentle and virtuous person. Even the tiny Yun Dong was extremely clear on his sister's true nature.
Yu'er felt helpless, but she couldn't understand why. Miss was too preoccupied with embroidery to understand what she had said before, so she continued, "Miss, the man is the eldest son of the wealthiest man in the capital, Master Ning …"
When he finished, Yu'er looked over, but Yun Qiu was still listening attentively, with no reaction to her words. Yu'er was suspicious, and as someone who could not hide her words, she could not help but remind him, "Miss, did you hear me clearly? "The other party is Young Master Ning, Young Master Ning Hengxu, your fiance."
As Yun Qiu looked at Yu'er's flustered appearance, the curve of his lips unconsciously deepened. She raised her head to look at Yu'er with a faint smile and a warm and kind appearance, "Mm, I heard. The person second sister wants to marry is Young Master Ning Hengning, my fiancé."
Not only did she hear it, she also guessed what would happen next.
Yu'er's eyes widened when she heard this. It was only after a long while did she confirm that Yun Qiu really knew about this. Just as she was about to ask the young lady why she was so calm, she suddenly thought of another possibility. Looking at Yun Qiu who was still smiling, Yu'er was filled with indignation. She rolled up her sleeves and left while grudgingly saying, "The Second Madam has gone too far with her bullying the young lady. Her appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and she even wants to seize the young lady's hand in marriage. The young lady is delirious now, and today, even if I have to risk my life, I have to seek justice for the young lady!"
It had been so many years, but Yu'er had always refused to call Madam Rong his wife. Yu'er did not remember much, but what was rare was that she remembered it clearly. In front of others, she had always been a lady, but behind her, she was only a second lady. It was rare for her to not forget. On the other hand, it caused Yun Qiu and Ma Qiao to be extremely shocked.
Whenever Yun Qiu asked, Yu'er would 'unreasonably' glance at him before saying bitterly, "How could that woman from the Rong family deserve the title 'Madam'? In this servant's heart, there is only one 'Madam'."
Yu'er had followed her mother since she was young, and her mother was so gentle.
Hearing Yu'er's words, Yun Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He got up and grabbed Yu'er, "Yu'er, are you not the one who was entrusted with the task by the cat demon? With nine lives for you to fight with, you can't just risk your life for small matters like this. "Also, you're still young, where did you get your old life from?"
"Miss, you … "Are you alright?" As Yu'er listened to Yun Qiu's teasing, she realized she had made a wrong judgement and questioned him softly.
Yun Qiu was still smiling as he tapped Yu'er's forehead with two fingers and said loudly, "Of course, your young miss is so easily muddled. You underestimate me too much!"
Her eyebrows were curved and her white teeth were revealed little. Her tone was clearly one of ridicule, but it was bright and gentle. The woman's cheeks were slightly red from her teasing, and her face had a rare specially made arrogance. It was still the little girl's home.
Yu'er let out a long breath, patted her chest and said, "It's good that you're fine."
Yu'er had been too focused on comforting herself that she had forgotten to risk her life. Yun Qiu, on the other hand, said in his heart, "It's fine now, but I won't be able to say it in the future."
Yu'er patted her chest, her face revealing an unconcealable expression, "Miss, what do you mean by this?"
"It means that your young miss is about to get married, but I just don't know who her future husband is. So, the future days are unknown."
Yu'er sat down on a low stool and prepared to sit down. Just as she was about to think deeply, she heard Yun Qiu say, "Yu'er, hurry and prepare yourself. Regardless of whether the marriage is good or bad, you still need a dowry, no?"
"Eh?!" That's right! " Yu'er's attention was successfully pulled back by Yun Qiu. She had completely forgotten what she had to think about before as she paced around the room, mumbling about what was needed for her daughter's makeup. In the end, as if she felt that it was missing something, she paced up and down restlessly.
Yun Qiu looked at Yu'er's funny look and reminded her with good intentions, "Yu'er, perhaps you should ask for advice about what Mrs Qiao knows, but Mrs Qiao is still in charge of this. Why bother thinking about it?"
