Chapter 582: Showing Off

If she wanted to make Matriarch happy, she only had to mention Yu Youyao more.

Yu Jianjia’s gaze darkened. “I brought some wild animals from the manor. I’ll send them to Eldest Sister later and thank her in person. Also, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you a little.”

Old Madam Yu smiled. “It’s not a coincidence. Your big sister planted agricultural items in the manor this year. There was sporadic rain yesterday evening, and this morning, she brought Nanny Xu to the manor to see the growth of the agricultural items. She probably won’t be able to return to the residence until late in the afternoon.”

In the past, if Yu Youyao wanted to go out, as long as she brought Nanny Xu along, she wouldn’t stop her.

Yu Jianjia nodded. “Then I’ll go over tomorrow.”

After working hard all day, she definitely had to rest first when she returned home.

Old Madam Yu nodded. “In the past two years, you’ve been helping to manage the matters in the manor. Now that you’ve returned to the residence, you can learn more about managing the household from Nanny Liu. Seventh Aunt usually guides you in your studies. However, she’s not as talented as Ms. Ye. You can’t neglect your studies at home. Rest for a few days and go to class.”

Yu Jianjia was going to the manor to recuperate, so she was worried that it would affect her studies. The clan aunt she had hired was also a little talented.

Although she was not as good as Ms. Ye, she could still teach Yu Jianjia.

Now that she looked at Yu Jianjia again, her personality had not changed much. However, her spirits had changed, and even her words and actions had improved.

It was obvious that one is marked by the company one keeps. She had asked her clan aunt to help take care of and teach her. This step was really the right one.

Every word and sentence was indeed kind, and she was sincerely planning for her. Unfortunately, with Yu Youyao as a comparison, she did not care as much about this grandmother-granddaughter relationship.

Yu Jianjia lowered her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude. “Thank you, Grandmother.”

Old Madam Yu thought about it again. Yu Jianjia had been missing classes for more than two years, so she said, “You’ve been recuperating for the past two years. I think you’ve missed some of your studies. Get someone to look for Ms. Ye later and spend more money to get Ms. Ye to teach you alone for an hour every day. You can catch up.”

No matter how hard the clan aunt taught, she was not as famous and talented as Ms. Ye. This was also what Yu Jianjia was worried about. She did not expect Matriarch Ye to consider this for her.

She immediately said, “According to Grandmother’s wishes, I’ll definitely study hard and improve.”

Old Madam Yu smiled. Then, she remembered that Yu Jianjia had a weak personality and was worried that she would lose out in her studies. She comforted her, “Back then, your eldest sister also neglected her studies for a few years. Later, when she learned to work hard, she caught up very quickly. Don’t be too anxious. If you fall behind in your studies, it’s fine to spend more time catching up. You’re smart to begin with, so I think you’ll be able to catch up to the other sisters soon. You don’t have to take it to heart. Your health is more important.”

Matriarch had said this out of goodwill.

Yu Jianjia could also tell what was going on. Unfortunately, she was clearly comforting her, but she was comparing her to Yu Youyao for no reason. No matter how nice the words were, it was still very unpleasant to the ears.

It was like a fishbone stuck in her throat. Not only did she not feel happy, but she also felt very sick of it. Yu Jianjia lowered her head. “Grandmother is right.

I’ll follow your instructions.”

As the two of them spoke, Qing Xiu came over to report, “Matriarch, Concubine Jiang is here.”

Old Madam Yu glanced at Yu Jianjia. Seeing that her eyes were lowered and she looked gentle, she nodded. “Please come in!”

Yu Jianjia immediately felt that she couldn’t even drink her tea.

Two years ago, when her father had just been transferred to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, the Matriarch couldn’t wait to take in the daughter of an official as her concubine.

Although she was from a small family, no matter how disobedient Yu Jianjia was, all she had to say was that she was the daughter of an official. In terms of upbringing, her mother was indeed inferior to Concubine Jiang.

Come to think of it, that made sense!

The legitimate daughter of a wealthy family had a legitimate mother to plan for her. Even if she spent more money to find a decent nanny in the Education Department and raised her from the side, she could still raise a good daughter.

After all, in a wealthy family, it was impossible for the first wife to let the daughter of a concubine surpass the first wife. Her upbringing would definitely be worse than that of the first wife.

When she met a vicious first wife like the Yang family, it was fine if she did not torture her, let alone raise her well.

Just like her mother, hadn’t she also deliberately praised Yu Qingning to death?

No matter how reasonable Madam Yao was, she did not have a powerful nanny by her side to raise her fifth and sixth sisters.

This was the difference.

Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister were also learning from the household manager.

However, Yu Shuangbai was taught by her second aunt and mother, and usually had Nanny Qian to guide her. Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister were learning from the other nannies in the residence.

This was also the difference.

Yu Jianjia felt uncomfortable. In the past two years, her mother’s head disease had become more and more serious, and the residence did not even invite a doctor often. It seemed that they wanted her mother to fend for herself.

How could she not understand that Matriarch Jiang couldn’t wait for her mother to die so that she could support Concubine Jiang?

The Matriarch kept talking about etiquette and rules, but her behavior was really disgusting.

As she was thinking, Concubine Jiang had already rushed into the house. She was wearing a red outfit. Although it wasn’t bright red, the color was vibrant and revealed a hint of charm. However, she was only wearing a few suitable accessories. She didn’t look deliberately ostentatious, but she still revealed a good demeanor and aura.

Even though Yu Jianjia told herself to endure it, she couldn’t help but feel angry.

Concubine Jiang said with a smile, “Our Third Miss has been recuperating in the manor for a while. She looks even better than the last time she came back. I think her body has really recovered. No wonder as soon as I entered the house, I saw Matriarch looking happy. Even her energy was different from usual. This is really a great thing.”

Old Madam Yu valued Concubine Jiang and saw how generous she was. Although she wasn’t as magnanimous and bright as Madam Xie, she was still a straightforward person.

Yu Jianjia pursed her lips and smiled shyly. “It’s all thanks to Grandmother that my body can recover.”

These words were not wrong. If it weren’t for the fact that her mother was still in the Tranquil Heart Residence, she would probably have been like Yu Shansi, making Matriarch Yu calm down and think that she was really good to her. Concubine Jiang said, “I sent someone to the government office to send a letter to Master and asked him to leave the government office early today. At night, there will be a table of dishes at home. The family will be lively. It can be considered a small banquet to celebrate Third Miss’s recovery.” Before Yu Jianjia could say anything, Old Madam Yu smiled. “That’s great!” Anyone would be happy that her family valued her so much.

However, Yu Jianjia did not think so. She took a look and saw the satisfied expression on Matriarch Jiang’s face. She knew that Concubine Jiang’s words had not only expressed her virtuous and magnanimous side, but also cultivated goodwill. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
