However, Yu Jianjia did not care at all.

Yu Youyao was now the Eldest Princess and a proper “queen-to-be.” If anything happened to her in the clan, the entire Yu Clan would suffer.

Hadn’t she thought of this before doing this?

She was just used to being selfish and only wanted to be happy. She had never thought of giving birth to a family or raising her clansmen.

She was simply like a poisonous snake.

Yu Jianjia crawled on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, she laughed wildly and shouted at the top of her lungs.

“You didn’t let me down? Isn’t it all thanks to her that I’ve fallen to this state? Hahaha, you’ve all been deceived by her. Yu Youyao has been pretending to be stupid since she was young to please the Matriarch. She’s deliberately pretending to be mischievous and stupid so that my mother can let down her guard and not take her seriously…”

She often wondered how a mischievous and stupid person could suddenly become so smart and quick-witted.

Everyone else felt that Auntie Xu had raised her well.

However, Auntie Xu was a human, not a god.

She couldn’t turn rotten wood into magic.

Yu Youyao’s stubbornness and stupidity were just an act. It was only because she had an auntie who had come from the palace and had powerful methods that she had the confidence to expose herself.

How hateful!

Her mother had lost her life, but she couldn’t guess why she had lost it.

Yu Youyao turned around. “There’s a saying in Daoism that I like very much. First, do nothing while doing everything. Second, do not contend but still strive.”

“No matter when or where, a person has to always have a mentality of letting things take their own course. One should not have any delusions or desires, and have a peaceful and clear heart. This is letting things take their own course. It’s to face life calmly. When a person often has this mentality, they’ll far surpass others in terms of their breadth of mind. Thus, they do nothing while doing everything.”

A person’s breadth of mind determined how high they could stand.

“Not contending is an attitude towards dealing with people. One shouldn’t contend with others in terms of their strong and weak points, or in terms of strength. One should not contend with others for victory or defeat. One should not contend. One should often polish their character and cultivate their talent. As time passes, their talent and character will far surpass that of others. They will leave others far behind. Thus, one doesn’t content, but they will strive.”

A person’s talent and character determined how far they could go.

No matter how magnanimous a person was or how high they stood, they wouldn’t be able to go far without good talent and character.

The Clan Chief’s wife was shocked. She thought about Yu Youyao’s words carefully.

Yu Jianjia was just thinking too much. She was jealous and had lost her magnanimity. She fought too much and spent less time nurturing her talent. That was why she was inferior.

Yu Jianjia’s eyes turned red with anger. She hated her arrogant and lecturing tone. “Don’t be sanctimonious here. You’re just a winner.”

Yu Youyao said calmly, “I’ve been ahead of you for a long time, but you’re still staying where you are.”

Another heart-wrenching cough came from the room.

The Clan Chief’s wife tightened her grip on the golden hairpin, still furious. She planned to report this matter to the clan elder later and see how to deal with it. Yu Jianjia’s selfish and vicious personality was really stuck in her throat.

At this moment, the courtyard door creaked open and Yu Shuangbai, who was wearing a green cloak, walked into the house.

When the sisters met—

Yu Shuangbai seemed to have been electrocuted. Her body froze on the spot and she couldn’t help but tremble slightly. 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶

For a moment, she did not dare to step forward.

“Second Sister.” Yu Youyao called out softly. Yu Shuangbai had lost a lot of weight, and her delicate face seemed to be covered in a layer of haze, looking sad and haggard. She was no longer as lively and innocent as before.

Just like before, Yu Youyao’s soft shout was as gentle as ever. It was as if no matter what mistakes Yu Shuangbai made, Yu Youyao would not be angry and teach her a lesson. Yu Youyao would only patiently tell her some simple and easy-to-see principles. Even if Yu Shuangbai did not listen, there was no hurry. Yu Youyao would always teach her how to handle things in her life.

Her mother usually doted on her, but her mother was a competitive person. She had to handle a lot of matters outside the residence, so she usually did not have much time to teach her. She had been with her Eldest Sister since she was young. Her Eldest Sister did not live well in the main family, but she took good care of her.

She had been close to her Eldest Sister since she was young.

Yu Shuangbai’s eyes turned red, and tears immediately streamed down her face. She suddenly ran to her Eldest Sister and threw herself into her arms, crying aggrievedly and sadly. “Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister, you’re back. You’re finally back. Eldest Sister…”

Yu Youyao’s eyes welled up with tears. She couldn’t help but cry. As she patted her back, she comforted her in a hoarse voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’m back. Your Elder Sister is back…”

Yu Shuangbai recalled that after her Eldest Sister left, she had to study endless rules every day. She argued with her mother day after day, and inexplicably, she became the “destined phoenix girl”. She knew very well that if there was really a so-called “destined phoenix girl”, and that person was in the Yu Residence, that person could only be her Eldest Sister.

Her mother kept saying that her Eldest Sister was not good, but she was shameless. Her mother used the master of the Precious Peace Temple and treated the Eldest Sister differently. Her mother pretended that outsiders did not know the details, so she forced Yu Shuangbai to become the “destined phoenix girl”.

Grandmaster Hui Neng was far away from the capital. The monks of the Precious Peace Temple did not know much about the details of her grandmother’s meeting with Grandmaster Hui Neng. The monks of the Precious Peace Temple only said a few words that they knew the truth, but Empress Ning made use of them wantonly.

Monks did not lie, let alone care about ordinary matters. No matter how big a commotion was in the capital, what did it have to do with them?

The so-called “destined phoenix girl” actually did not arouse anyone’s suspicion.

However, she did not care at all.

The Fourth Prince looked at her as if he was evaluating her.

She had resisted, made a fuss, and gone on a hunger strike, but her mother had never cared about her feelings. She had always thought that this was for her own good. She wanted to surpass her Eldest Sister in terms of reputation and marriage, and she was focused on the scene of the Fourth Prince ascending to the throne in the future. She would be a mother to the world, and her Eldest Sister would acknowledge her.

The nanny who taught the rules in the palace also entered the residence.

Every day, she was tortured by all kinds of rules. Her mother-daughter relationship with her mother was also destroyed by her mother time and time again. Her mother ignored her feelings. They schemed, argued, and quarreled again and again.

The sisters hugged each other and cried.

The Clan Chief’s wife had already left the nunnery.

After crying for a while, the sisters calmed down a lot and returned to the room together. Although the room was not big, it was quite complete and exquisite.

Yu Youyao felt a little relieved.

Chun Xiao quickly brought over a basin of warm water.

Yu Youyao picked up her handkerchief and helped Yu Shuang apply some dew and ointment from the house.

Yu Shuangbai was still sitting obediently like when she was young.

“I’m almost out of incense paste. I’ll get someone to send you some more another day.” Yu Youyao took pity on her and brushed the messy hair by her cheek behind her ear. “My Third Cousin brought a dye that uses insect dye from overseas. It’s bright and beautiful. I’ll give you two boxes too.” She chuckled and held Yu Shuangbai’s slightly cold hand. “Girls should dress up more brightly.”
