Chapter 624: Chapter 626: Baba Approaching (3 More Updates)
"It’s nothing; I was just wondering if I should ask Miss if she wants to visit the Second Miss at the Liao Residence!"
In this residence, there were also the Second Miss and Mrs. Cui, who had some human touch.
Shi Jiayu fell silent.
Ru Yue thought for a while before saying, "Considering the relationship between Miss and the Second Miss, she should pay a visit, but as for Mrs. Cui’s incident, the household only mentioned that she passed away without specifying where she was sent. Miss rushing off to the Liao Residence might not be appropriate!"
After Ru Yue finished speaking, she let out a sigh.
She usually spoke little, and speaking so much all at once, this was indeed the first time.
Mrs. Yuan thought the same, "That’s why I was hesitant!"
To go or not to go, both choices were difficult.
"Nanny!"
Yun Jinnian called out softly, sitting at the head of the bed.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yuan responded hastily, calling out, "Miss is awake, quickly bring some water, and bring the breakfast from the kitchen over here!"
She entered the bedroom to assist Yun Jinnian in getting up and washing.
She then styled Yun Jinnian’s hair into a beautiful bun, dressed her in a white tube-top dress with little chrysanthemums embroidered on the hem. Her white waistband was also embroidered with chrysanthemums. As the belt hung down and the wind blew, it looked like the chrysanthemums were fluttering in the breeze.
A purse embroidered with a large chrysanthemum hung at her waist, and even the hair accessories were chrysanthemum-related.
"What a lovely chrysanthemum fairy!" praised Mrs. Yuan.
All the unhappiness was thrown to the back of her mind, and her heart and eyes were filled with the sight of Yun Jinnian before her.
"Nanny has such skillful hands; this dress looks so pretty!"
Although she had tried it on yesterday, she hadn’t dressed up so carefully as she had now; indeed, she looked very beautiful.
"We also have a pink set; we should bring it along just in case!" Mrs. Yuan reminded her.
"Yes, I’ll listen to Nanny!"
After eating breakfast, they left Madam Rong and Yaniang to watch over Niannian Garden. They took with them food and drink, and set out.
They were preparing to travel by carriage from the front courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and their former three maids were each accompanied by a maid, waiting at the second gate.
Seeing Yun Jinnian, the three of them were quite embarrassed, blushing to the tips of their ears.
"Fourth Sister, can we join you on your trip?" Yun Zuomo mustered up the courage to speak.
She had thought it over all night. Despite wanting to give up, this could be her only chance.
Moreover, in this household, the only one she could rely on in the future was Yun Jinnian.
As for their father, there was no need to hope.
Their stepmother was confined to the courtyard, unable to even step outside.
The Eldest Aunt only cared for her own children; she had almost sold the Second Sister - let alone the children of the second room.
And as for their grandmother, she only had eyes for Xu Xinmo, her granddaughter from outside the family, and did not even consider her illegitimate granddaughters.
Early in the morning, they called Yun Qingzhi and Yun Qingqing to come over to give her some moral support.
If Yun Jinnian were to refuse them again, they couldn’t blame her.
Yun Jinnian thought, why should she care about them?
Legitimate and illegitimate members of a family are natural enemies. Because of their stepmothers, she had suffered for so many years, and in her past life, she had died a miserable death in the palace.
But she had been reborn, and now she was living a better life.
As for these three illegitimate sisters, though they had food, drink, and clothes, they never really had a moment of true comfort and pleasure.
Yun Jinnian sized them up, thinking carefully if they had ever harmed her in their previous life, or if they had lived well later on? She couldn’t remember anything.
"If you want to follow, then follow. Oh, have you prepared your own food? Don’t expect me to feed you later!"
Having said that, Yun Jinnian walked towards the outside.
Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing were startled and hurriedly followed, with their maids carrying food containers closely behind.
"Fourth Sister!"
Yun Zuomo called out softly, her face flushed as she ran up to Yun Jinnian’s side, panting and clutching the handkerchief in her hand.
She was determined that one way or another, she must share a carriage with Yun Jinnian...
