All Hail Cousin Brother

ter now.
I’m fine.”

Although she was frail and weak, she was slimmer than Yu Youyao, and was well aware of many social etiquette rules.
The way she moved and sat exuded a demure, delicate aura, and she looked especially elegant.

Old Madam Yu did not like this granddaughter of hers as she was too scheming, and she often had a solemn look that seemed inauspicious.
But ultimately, she was not a hard-hearted person.
“The weather is so cold, and your body is not well.
In the future, you don’t have to come over to my place all the time.
Just stay in the house and rest well!”

“Thank you for your understanding, Grandmother.” Yu Jianjia heaved a sigh of relief.
Her smile was pale and weak.
“Big Sister suffered because of me this time, and I feel bad about it.
I want to apologize to her.”

Old Madam Yu did not speak.

She knew that her granddaughter was not simple, but she was still much more forthright than her mother.
At the very least, she didn’t use all sorts of excuses to try to fool others.
Knowing that she could openly admit her mistakes, she immediately thought highly of her at that moment.

Even if an eight-year-old child was really in the wrong, the adults would not hold a grudge against the child.

Yu Jianjia knew that she had made the right move.
She bowed deeply to Yu Youyao.
“Big Sister, I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.”

That day, when she saw the child Buddha jade pendant on Yu Youyao’s chest, an inexplicably intense desire arose in her heart.
There was a mysterious voice telling her that she had to get the jade pendant.

She thought that since Yu Youyao had many treasures in her house and had always been generous, she might not even care too much about the jade pendant.
So, she directly proposed an exchange, but she really hadn’t expected that she would be rejected.

There had been such a huge commotion in the north courtyard yesterday, and the Old Madam had even sent someone to question her.
The jade pendant was probably lost for real.

At this thought, Yu Jianjia felt a heavy wave of disappointment.

Yu Youyao actually disliked Yu Jianjia very much.
She always looked fragile and delicate, panting every two steps and coughing in between every few words.
Her eyes would also well up with tears at every little thing, and she was always appearing pitiful as if she had suffered a great grievance.

As a result, her father paid a lot of attention to Yu Jianjia.
He always compared the both of them, feeling that Yu Jianjia was obedient and sensible, while she was a troublemaker.

Occasionally, there would be certain trivial conflicts between them, and the matter would always reach her father’s ears.
Then, her father always assumed that it was her who bullied Yu Jianjia and made her suffer.
Every time, her father would give her a harsh lesson and treat Yu Jianjia better afterwards.

Since then, Grandmother had told her to keep a distance from the people in the main courtyard.

Yu Jianjia continued to maintain an apologetic posture for quite a while, but Yu Youyao merely stood there in a daze without saying anything.
Hence, the others thought that this meant that she did not forgive Yu Jianjia.

The room fell so silent that even the drop of a pin could be heard.

Yu Jianjia’s little face turned a few shades paler and a thin sheen of sweat appeared on her forehead.

After maintaining the same posture for a long time, she felt her waist become sore and her legs numb.
Her body was on the verge of collapse.
She felt uncomfortable and dizzy.

This caused Yang Shuwan’s heart to ache terribly, and she cursed Yu Youyao in her heart.

Yu Jianjia felt aggrieved.
Her eyes were teary as she looked at Yu Youyao, and her voice sounded choked.
“Big Sister, are you unwilling to forgive me?”

Yu Youyao turned to look at Old Madam Yu.
“Grandmother, why is Third Sister apologizing to me? Did she do something wrong?”

Old Madam Yu was stunned for a moment.
Only then did she recall the twists and turns that had played out in the backyard yesterday.
How would a nine-year-old child like Yao Yao understand?

Hence, the way that Yu Jianjia apologized so directly naturally made Yu Youyao feel dumbfounded.
