“No, she just asked the kitchen to send food for young missy.” The nanny shook her head.
“Oh.” Mrs. Ning responded thoughtfully and asked the servants to prepare warm water and her dinner.
After Zhou Ying confirmed the Yang Residence wouldn’t cause more trouble, she brought Gu Chengrui to her interspace to get busy.
The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Ying said to Gu Chengrui before he left, “Rui, let’s pause our plans for the manor. I think something will happen at the Yang residence today.”
“Are you sure you want to support her?” Gu Chengrui paused and asked.
“Yeah, judging by her reaction yesterday, it’s commendable. The main point is that she listened to our advice and didn’t drag us down.
“On the other hand, Yang Chenglin is still a little arrogant. He still has more to learn.”
“He has a good personality, but he’s been spoiled by Mrs. Cui Corporation a little too much.
“By the way, let me know in advance if there’s any trouble. 1’11 go over directly.
“Oh, bring my aunt’s dowry list over too. If we need it, it could save us the trouble of making another trip.”
“Alright.” Zhou Ying nodded.
After he left, she changed into dark-colored clothes and asked Shizhu to buy some incense and food offerings.
While waiting, she extended her divine senses to look at the Yang residence.
Perhaps because they were tired from yesterday’s commotion, everyone in the Yang Residence had just started their day.
Of course, the butler had already gathered the servants and led them, carrying shovels and firewood, to the cemetery to dig a burial pit. At the same time, he set up a simple mourning hall for those who came to mourn.
After breakfast, Yang Shicheng gathered everyone together and distributed their linen clothes for mourning. He brought Yang Chenglin and Yang Chengsen to the front yard, sitting at the entrance of the mourning hall.
Unfortunately, two hours had passed, and only the First Prince and the Marquis of Ding’an’s servants had come; they each offered a hundred taels of silver in condolences. No one else came.
Zhou Ying saw the time was almost right, so she brought Shizhu over. After entering, she wrote down her condolences in an etiquette book and offered a hundred taels of silver. After burning three incense sticks as prayer, she said to Yang Shicheng, “Uncle, my condolences.”
Yang Shicheng nodded lightly and did not reply.
Yang Chenglin stood up and said, “Cousin-in-law, why are you the only one here? Where’s my Brother Rui?”
“He said he would come over after he’s done with his work. He should be here soon.”
“Is that so? Okay, 1’11 bring you to my sister.” After Yang Chenglin finished speaking, he wanted to bring her to the back.
“It’s better to let your Mother Ning bring your cousin-in-law over. It isn’t appropriate if someone comes later and you, the eldest grandson, aren’t here.” Yang Shicheng raised his head and said.
“No worries; you wait here. I’ll go to the back to look for your sister myself.” Zhou Ying gave him a look, then went out and followed Mrs. Ning to the old madam’s small courtyard.
Seeing the women waiting inside, Zhou Ying greeted them one by one. When she saw Yang Wanyu wasn’t there, she deliberately asked Yang Wanning, “Oh, where’s Yang Wanyu? She’s supposed to be the main character today, isn’t she?”
“She said she’s tired and would come out when it’s time to set off.” Yang Wanning blinked and replied.
She knew the real reason was that rumors and gossip about the Yang family had already spread throughout the capital this morning.
Yang Wanyu, the daughter of Mrs. Cui, was the main target of everyone’s gossip. Words such as hypocrisy, meanness, viciousness, and ruthlessness were all directed at her.
Some even felt she was the continuation of Mrs. Cui’s evil plans.
She was in a worse spot than Zhou Ying when the Gu family was in trouble.
Some gossip even concluded that the First Prince would break off her engagement soon, so Yang Wanyu couldn’t bear it anymore and shut herself in..
