Chapter 613: Really Noble Girl

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Jianjia couldn’t stand it anymore. When she saw that a pavilion had been built not far away, she said, “Second Sister, I’ll go sit in the pavilion in front.” The pavilion was in front. At a glance, she could see a few young misses sitting in twos and threes and having fun.

Yu Shuangbai nodded. “I’ll send you there.”

Yu Jianjia shook her head. “It’s only a few steps. I’ll go over myself. Second

Sister, don’t worry about me. Just admire the flowers with Third Sister Song and Seventh Sister Qi!”

“Alright, be careful. I’ll look for you later.” Yu Shuangbai did not force her. Yu Jianjia had a maidservant with her, so she did not plan to go far. If she paid more attention, she would not be worried.

Yu Jianjia was more scheming than her, and she was familiar with flowers and plants. It was not a problem for her to deal with such an occasion, and she did not need to follow her.

Yu Jianjia brought Ai Ye and Bai Ye to the pavilion.

As soon as she entered the pavilion, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl immediately welcomed her and warmly held her hand. “Are you Third Miss Yu?”

The young lady was wearing a cloud veil and was dressed elegantly.

Yu Jianjia subconsciously recalled that on Yu Youyao’s birthday, she was also wearing such a bright cloud-like veil.

She was really beautiful.

Yu Jianjia was stunned for a moment. She did not recognize this young lady. She nodded slightly and asked apologetically, “May I know who you are?

Before the young girl could say anything, there was a young girl beside her who was wearing a green dress. She was holding a round fan with two-sided peony flowers, and there was a jade tassel on the handle.

She covered her mouth with her fan and smiled sweetly. “This person will give you a shock if I tell you.” Her smile deepened. “She’s the second daughter of the first wife of the Xu family, Xu Linlang. She’s a noble lady of a distant imperial relative.”

She didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but she emphasized the words “noble lady” as if it had a deeper meaning.

Yu Jianjia was shocked. The first thing she thought of was that Yu Youyao had been rewarded and praised by the Empress Dowager previously. She also had the reputation of being a “noble lady” in the capital.

However, Yu Youyao, a pseudo-noble lady, was a little insignificant in front of Xu Linlang, a real noble lady.

The Xu Residence was Imperial Consort Xu’s maiden home and the Third Prince’s external family.

Concubine Lu had entered the cold palace and the Empress Yuan had been sick for a long time. Now, the person in charge of the phoenix seal in the palace and the power of the harem was Consort Xu, the leader of all concubines.

Yu Jianjia reacted and quickly apologized, “I wasn’t in good health in the past, so I came out to walk around. I didn’t recognize Sister Xu. Don’t blame me.”

Xu Linlang did not mind either. Yu Jianjia did not recognize her, so she smiled kindly and said, “Don’t listen to Jinrou’s nonsense. She’s a proper daughter of a noble family. In front of her, how would we dare to call ourselves noble ladies?!”

She also sized up Yu Jianjia imperceptibly. She saw that Yu Jianjia was weak and looked pitiful, but she did not look sick.

Perhaps her body had recovered.

It turned out that the girl who had spoken just now was the Third Miss of the Duke Rong’s Residence, Yin Jinrou.

Yu Jianjia quickly bowed. “Sister Yin, greetings.”

Seeing that she was generous and polite, Yin Jinrou smiled and said, “Your big sister is quite close to our family, so there’s no need to be too polite.” She changed the topic and sized up Yu Youyao with her beautiful eyes. She asked with concern, “I heard that you were born weak and have been recuperating in the manor for two years. Are you feeling better now?

Without bothering to explain anything, Yu Jianjia smiled gently. “It’s also because Imperial Physician Hu used medicine to strengthen my foundation and nurture my essence. I became fine after recuperating for two to three years.”

The main purpose of the medicine was to nourish her body. It seemed that other than her bones being a little weak, Third Miss Yu did not have any other illnesses.

The Xu Residence and the Duke Rong Residence often interacted with Imperial Physician Hu, so they naturally admired his medical skills very much. After hearing Yu Jianjia i s casual words, they believed her.

Xu Linlang held her hand and smiled. “In that case, Third Sister Yu’s health has improved greatly. Congratulations.”

Yin Jinrou also said, “You’ve just recovered and have come out to walk around.

Why don’t you come with Sister Xu and me to admire the flowers and meet the

others?”

Yu Jianjia couldn’t ask for more and thanked her repeatedly.

Yin Jinrou was the legitimate daughter of Duke Rong’s Residence, so it made sense for her to treat her well.

However, Xu Linlang was Consort Xu’s niece and the third prince’s biological cousin. She was really a relative of the emperor. Why was she taking the initiative to get close to her?

Using the excuse of admiring the flowers, Yu Jianjia quickly became familiar with Yin Jinrou and Xu Linlang.

Xu Linlang seemed to be very interested in Yu Youyao and asked a lot about her. “I’ve long heard that your big sister is the number one beauty in the capital. She has a reputation for being virtuous, but I haven’t had the chance to see her. Third Sister, you have to introduce us later.”

Yu Jianjia lowered her eyes and agreed gently. Xu Linlang wanted to get close to her so that she could help introduce her to Yu Youyao?!

However, with Xu Linlang’s family background, why was she still trying to get close to Yu Youyao?

Yu Jianjia was puzzled.

At this moment, Xia Tao rushed over anxiously. “Third Miss, Eldest Miss wants you to return to the reception pavilion immediately.”

Yu Jianjia pursed her lips and was a little unhappy.

No matter what Xu Linlang’s motive was for approaching her, it was rare for her to befriend noble ladies like Xu Linlang and Yin Jinrou. Naturally, she did not want to leave so quickly.

At the thought of this, Yu Jianjia was in no hurry to leave. She asked gently, “Big Sister, why are you looking for me?

Xu Linlang and Yin Jinrou were also a little curious.

Xia Tao lowered her eyes. “Matriarch fainted in the reception pavilion. When

Second Miss received the news, she immediately sent someone to look for you. I didn’t expect Third Miss to have walked far away to admire the flowers and didn’t see you for a moment. Second Miss was worried about Matriarch’s health, so she returned to the reception pavilion first and asked me to come and look for Third Miss.”

Yu Jianjia was stunned on the spot, and her eyes turned red. “W-what?

Grandmother fainted? What’s going on? How’s Grandmother? It’s all my fault.

I know that Grandmother’s health isn’t good, so I shouldn’t have left Eldest Sister alone to take care of her. I-I’ll go back immediately…”

However, Xia Tao’s gaze turned cold.

What did Third Miss mean? It was as if anyone wanted to hold it against her. Why was she blaming herself for the Matriarch’s fainting?

Yin Jinrou had a bad feeling.

Xu Linlang was also stunned for a moment before she quickly comforted her. “Third Sister Yu, don’t panic. This isn’t your fault. As the eldest sister, you should take care of her more in front of her elders. You’ve just had a chance to go out, so you should take this opportunity to see more of the world and get to know more people…”

Yu Jianjia was flustered. She bit her lip tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes. She bowed casually to Yin Jinrou and Xu Linlang and hurriedly followed Xia

Tao..
