Long Live the Empress

Chapter 304 Topaz Headpiece

Yue Jinghao didn't wake up until noon. When she opened her eyes, she saw the sandman fluttering in the wind on her bed.

What good things has the Ninth Thousand Years Old Man not seen? What gift would she give in return?

So annoying!

Yue Jing felt such a splitting headache that she simply covered her head with the quilt and fell into a deep sleep again.

It was already afternoon when she woke up again. Yue Jinghao pressed her temples and said to herself: What a harmful guy!

Seeing that Yue Jing was getting better, Manju took out the prepared clothes and said, "Miss, Miss Three has come to ask you out three times today! From what I see, she seems to be in a hurry!"

Yue Jinghao chuckled, "Don't worry about her!"

Yue Jinghao dressed neatly and asked Manou to take some scriptures to pay her respects to the old lady.

As soon as she entered the door, Yue Yuyan's somewhat spoiled voice rang out.

"Big sister, you really made me wait so long! I was hoping to meet you when I got up early to pay my respects to grandma, but I didn't expect you to show up until now!"

Yue Yuyan's words are really thought-provoking: Yue Jinghao, as a legitimate daughter, did not go to pay her respects to her grandmother in the morning, which is unfilial, and she slept until the afternoon, which is laziness!

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the old lady leaning on the couch looked a little gloomy.

Yue Jinghao ignored her and slowly sat down after greeting the old lady. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed slightly. "My granddaughter saw that grandma was sick and couldn't get up from the bed, so I thought of copying Buddhist scriptures for her, hoping that the Buddha would bless her to recover soon! I didn't expect that my granddaughter's body was not strong enough. I caught a cold after just a few nights! Ahem! I've made my sister wait for me! Manju, quickly present the scriptures I copied for grandma to her!"

Agate presented the scriptures that had been prepared long ago. The old lady flipped through a few pages and was very satisfied!

"Jing'er is so thoughtful! If you are sick, why not send a maid to tell her? Why bother coming here again!"

"Ahem... Granddaughter also wants to come and see grandma. If grandma feels better, granddaughter will feel at ease!"

Manju was considerate enough to pour a glass of water for Yue Jinghao, "Miss, you still need to continue taking medicine today, otherwise the old lady will be distressed when she sees you!"

Yue Jinghao nodded slightly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

These words are enough to shut Yue Yuyan up!

Yue Yuyan also smiled awkwardly, "It's all my fault. Big sister is sick, and I still say these things. I'm really sorry for big sister!"

Agate rolled her eyes secretly. The third young lady had run back and forth three times. She had said each time that the eldest young lady was not feeling well. Yet she still said such vulgar words to disgust people!

Yue Jinghao didn't answer and continued to drink water in small sips.

Su Hongfu massaged the old lady's legs and chuckled, "Old lady, the eldest lady is so filial even though she is ill. She is really a role model for the young ladies in the mansion! If this gets out, everyone will say that our Yue Mansion's old lady... you have taught her well!"

The old lady nodded in agreement, "Madam Zhang, go to my small storehouse and get that set of topaz head ornaments!"

When Nanny Zhang came out with the head ornament, the old lady said, "This topaz is warm to the touch and is very nourishing! You can wear it!"

Yue Jinghao quickly stood up and saluted, saying with great fear and trepidation: "This is what a granddaughter should do, how can I be rewarded? Grandmother, please take it back!"

"Hey, I am old and not worthy of this topaz. Your innocent face is the most suitable for it now!"

"Miss, please don't refuse the old lady's kindness!" said Nanny Zhang with a smile.

Yue Jinghao then bowed and thanked her, and let Manou take the headdress.

Yue Yuyan, who was sitting next to her, was so jealous that her eyes were about to burst into flames. She came to pay respects every day, but her grandmother never gave her anything. Yue Jinghao just copied a few broken scriptures and got such a good reward. How could she not be angry? Thinking of the purpose of today, she endured it!

"I have asked my elder sister several times, but was blocked by the maid. Look, elder sister, my skirt is dirty!"

"It's all because of my poor health, please don't blame me!" Yue Jinghao said calmly.

Seeing that Yue Jinghao didn't ask what she wanted, Yue Yuyan took the lead and said, "Actually, I have something to ask you, big sister! Big sister, you must help me!"

"Third sister, you are joking. I have been staying at home all day and now I am sick. I guess your sister is not able to help me... cough cough..."

Yue Yuyan's prepared words were choked down by Yue Jinghao. But after all, Yue Yuyan's biological mother was an actress, and she was very good at pretending!

“Big sister also knows that my aunt passed away early, leaving me alone and helpless. Fortunately, I have been taken care of by grandmother and big sister, and I am now where I am today!” Yue Yuyan’s words were extremely emotional, and her tears fell as soon as she spoke. Anyone who saw her looked pitiful.

But except Yue Jinghao!

Based on her understanding of Yue Yuyan, her tears will not be in vain!

Yue Yuyan secretly looked at Yue Jinghao, and seeing that Yue Jinghao didn't respond, she continued to cry, "If the aunt was a lady from a noble family, it would be fine. With the money, my sister could live comfortably and steadily, and no one would look down on her when she went to her husband's house! But... the aunt is a low-class actor. Not to mention money, she didn't even leave a decent decoration. When my sister goes to the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the future, those servants will bully her to death!"
