Even though Yu Qingya had just gotten a lot of points from the system, after exchanging a couple more elixirs, and seeing the number decreasing exponentially, her heart couldn’t help but contract.

Yu Laojun finally fell asleep after a long night of tossing.

Everyone could finally rest but— After they looked at the sky, they all felt like weeping.

It’s almost dawn, and soon they will have to get up for work, so how can they sleep?

They went back to change their clothes, patted their faces with cool water, and then braced themselves for the long day ahead.

After Yu Qingjia realized that everyone had given up the thoughts of sleeping, and started to do their work, she immediately, and enthusiastically came up to help them.

The maids were all frightened to death when they saw her, so they hastily stopped Yu Qingjia and said,

“Sixth Young Miss, you are a noble young lady, your body is precious, so how dare we make you do such menial work?”

‘That’s not what you said yesterday when Yu Qingya deliberately made things difficult for me though?’

Yu Qingjia thought, smiled gently, and said, “Oh this is nothing. My fourth sister is right, I’m a young lady, and it’s my duty to be a slave and a servant to my elders. This is also a way of showing my filial piety. So let me do it.”

“No, no.”

All the maids in the courtyard put down the things in their hands and gathered around Yu Qingjia, hastily persuading and praising her,

“Sixth Miss, Your filial piety is already known, and recognized by Yu Laojun. You don’t need to do anything more. You are still a young lady after all. How can we really let you do the work of a slave?”

“Indeed! Sixth Young Miss had already stayed up for a long time to serve Yu Laojun! You must be very tired!”

“Sixth Young Miss! Please go ahead, and take your rest!”

“How can I do that? Yu Laojun is still asleep. How can I go back to sleep without informing her?”

The maids immediately told her it’s fine, and nodded their heads in unison.

When Madam Li saw this, she also came out and said, “Sixth Miss has worked hard, you may go back and rest. If Yu Laojun asks about you, then I will explain everything to her.”

Yu Qingjia smiled coyly and half-heartedly relented.

After Seeing that Yu Qingjia finally turned around to leave, all the maids and ladies in the courtyard recited the words of the Buddha in their heart,

‘Thank the heavenly ancestors, She is finally willing to stop!’

Even though she wasn’t able to sleep at night, Yu Laojun can still catch up in the morning.

Yu Qingya, and Madam Li, are the noble ladies of the first household, so they can also take their rest during the day but the servants on Yu Laojun’s courtyard couldn’t.

This is literally equivalent to them having to stay up for two days and a night.

If Yu Qingjia continue to mess around, they wouldn’t able to do anything.

They could only do as she wishes.

That little ancestor definitely didn’t come here to serve the sick, she definitely came to kill them all!

The first-class maid beside Yu Laojun stared at Yu Qingjia’s retreating back.

She was lost in thought for a long time, and couldn’t help but smile wryly at herself.

She actually felt a pang of pity for the sixth miss yesterday.

God forbid! How can she pity her?

The sixth young miss is obviously at the top of the food chain.

She was not afraid of tearing off her face in front of her elders, obviously that’s because she knows that Yu Laojun can’t do anything to her.

Yu Qingjia has no mother and no sister, so Yu Laojun doesn’t have any way to control her.

This is the reason why Yu Qingjia is not afraid of tearing her face off in front of her.

The only thing that she might be able to use against her is her marriage, but marriages are something that was set by the children’s parents.

This is the reason why, even though Yu Laojun has a higher rank, she can’t go beyond Yu Qingjia’s biological parents, and make her own decision.

Who is Yu Qingjia’s father?

Yu Wenjun loves his only daughter so much, will he let others decide his daughter’s marriage?

Obviously— Not.

A wall can stand a thousand feet high, If you have no desire, you will be strong.

If you don’t have desire, you have nothing to fear.

Yu Laojun and Madam Li could not control Yu Qingjia’s future, and not even her present.

Yu Wenjun will be back soon, they could not let anything happen to Yu Qingjia.

As long as Yu Qingjia is slightly injured, when Yu Wenjun comes back, all Yu Qingjia needs to do is cry a little.

Once Yu Wenjun is angry, I am afraid that he will directly resign from his official post, and take his daughter away to live in seclusion.

Yu Laojun forced the young Yu Wenjun to be adopted by the first household to carry on their inheritance, which shows how much she cares about this matter.

Her eldest grandson died in an accident, and Yu Laojun went out of her way to force her second son and daughter-in-law to agree to the adoption.

This is why Yu Laojun is the one who can’t afford to lose anything.

Yu Wenjun originally did not care much about his career, and in case he was offended in any way, he might throw away his official seal and visit his friends in the north and south of the country afterwards.

It might be even more difficult for them to find his whereabouts.

Yu Laojun’s original purpose was for the first household’s line to continue its bloodline, but now it’s already bad enough that there were no male heirs born on the first household, even the second household might have to cut-off its line with the death of Madam Yu.

This truth alone is more serious than the death of Yu Laojun.

Therefore, even though Yu Laojun could clearly see that Yu Qingjia was deliberately making trouble, and she was tortured half to death last night, no matter how angry she was, she knew she couldn’t do anything to her.

The room full of maids watched Yu Qingjia strutting away, and Madam Li, and Yu Laojun, who was inside, couldn’t even say a word.

The first-class maid sighed and felt that she was the one who needed pity the most.

The still water runs deep, and inside this noble family courtyard, those who make no noise, are often the most powerful.
