Yanzhou, Gaoping County, Yu Mansion.

The maid wearing green half-sleeves lifted the curtain and bowed respectfully, “Fourth Miss.”

“Is Great grandmother asleep?”

“Old Madam has just fallen asleep.” As soon as the maid’s words fell, an old voice came from inside, “Is it the Fourth Lady?”

Yu Qingya immediately put on a gentle and sensible smile, and without waiting for the servant girl to pass on the message, she herself walked in, “Great Grandmother, it is this child.”

The Yu family has four generations living in the same mansion, and the Old Madam Yu was still able to watch her Great Granddaughter grow up to fourteen or fifteen years old, obviously she is very old. Some people become Buddhas as they get old. They become kind-hearted and compassionate to the poor and weak, but more people will infinitely magnify their immature side, becoming even more domineering and paranoid. The desire for control is getting even stronger.

Obviously, this is the case for this Elder of the Yu family, who has been greatly respected by everyone all her life.

Yu Qingya knelt in front of Old Madam Yu’s bed, took Old Madam Yu’s medicine with her own hands, took a small spoonful of it and tasted it in another soup bowl before offering the rest of the medicine to Old Madam Yu, “Great Grandmother, the heat is just right, I specially ordered them to add licorice today, so it won’t be bitter.”

This action is smooth and proper, as if it had been practiced countless times. Old Madam Yu looked extremely comfortable. She took a sip of the medicine and wondered, “Why is today’s medicine different from the past?”

Yu Qingya smiled coyly, “I used to feel guilty when I saw that you were uncomfortable with your medicine, so I looked through some ancient books and found a few prescriptions for health preservation. I took it upon myself to use a light one, and I haven’t been able to inform you. So I would like to ask Great Grandmother to punish me.”

Old Madam Yu was surprised and delighted, “You still know the art of medicine?”

“I won’t dare, but I just followed the instructions from the medical books, I don’t dare to do anything on my own.”

Old Madam Yu patted Yu Qing Ya’s hand gratefully and said, “My child is really born with a delicate heart. I haven’t realized it before. It wasn’t until these few days that I discovered that there is actually a talent of Ban Zhao1 hidden in our Yu Mansion. When you came to my place a few days ago to take a stroll, you can even find that the incense I used was not good for my health, and the deficiency of heat caused by excessive internal heat can cause lung disease. Now you can even rely on reading through ancient books, and make health-preservation soup by yourself. It’s a great blessing for my family to have a child like this, and the heavens will definitely rejuvenate my Yu family.”

Yu Qingya smiled and said she wouldn’t dare, but she was smiling between her eyebrows. She obviously felt elated inside. Then she heard a cold electronic voice in her head with a ‘Beep’,

「Old Madam Yu’s favorability +10」

「Reputation of a Well-rounded talent +10」

Yu Qingya heard the content that followed, and the smile on her face became even more genuine.

What natural intelligence and well-rounded talent? Which one can rely only on medical books to be able to do medical arts without a teacher? 

The so-called medical prescriptions she found from the ancient books were just random fabrications she made to fool Old Madam Yu. In fact, this is the prescription given to her by the system. She can easily obtain the results of ten or even twenty years of medicine practice without making any effort at all.

Ever since she had the help of the system, Yu Qingya became as powerful as a bamboo in the back courtyard. She was like a tiger with wings. Today, she can change the incense for the old woman, tomorrow she can embroider a knee pad for the elders with rheumatism, and the day after tomorrow she can write the most exquisite parallel poems. In just three months, her reputation as a talented woman has already spread across Yanzhou.

She was confident that if she continues with this momentum, even the immortal monarchs in the sky who had no emotions nor desires will move their hearts for her, and the tragic path of her previous life will never happen again.

Old Madam Yu intentionally reprimanded her and said, “Didn’t you go back to rest in the morning? Why did you come here again? Although I am old and useless, I am not the kind of wicked old woman, who has to detain all her grandchildren in front of her eyes before she can rest. A young girl like you should go outside more often. If you stay by my side all the time, I’m afraid you’ll be tainted with my old age.”

“How could it be?” Yu Qingya said with a smile, “Great Grandmother has a lot of knowledge. You are a strong woman who is not afraid of men. I’d rather stay by your side for a day, I think I can learn more than reading ten years of books. If you don’t mind me being annoying, I would like to learn from you from time to time.”

Old Madam Yu smiled and pretended to be angry and said, “You, you only know how to say nice things to make this old woman happy.”

She smiled lightly. She then looked at the letter behind the candlestick on the desk, her eyes moved, and she pretended to lament a little.

“Father has not returned after two years. It’s been windy and rainy these days. I wonder if he is well? He is wandering outside alone, and Qingzhou is a remote place, so I am afraid that there is no one to take care of him if he gets sick.”

At the mention of her disobedient grandson, Old Madam Yu’s expression became visibly gloomy. She snorted and laughed coldly, “He is very assertive now, his wings are hardened and he no longer needs us old bones to pave the way for him anymore.”

“Qingzhou had no prominent families. It’s a place where common people would come and go. How can this uneducated barbarian place compare with Yanzhou? Besides, Guangling is only a middle class county. It may be a waste of his time. If only we can bring father back, it will be good for him. Father will definitely understand our painstaking efforts.”
