章節 6: Like a Stinger in the Throat
編輯: Atlas Studios
There were many memorial tablets placed in the ancestral hall of the Yu Residence.
Those were the ancestors of the Yu family.
Yu Niaoniao knelt on the futon and stared blankly at the memorial tablets in front of her.
The sandalwood incense in the censer was burning slowly, sending up a faint green smoke.
Her kneeling lasted all day.
It was dark outside.
Her legs were already numb from kneeling.
She looked around to make sure no one was nearby. Then she quietly changed her posture and sat on the futon.
"My lady."
She turned toward the voice and saw Dang Gui sneaking in.
Dang Gui ran to her and took out two warm white steamed buns.
"Master has ordered that no one is to bring you food. I secretly took this from the kitchen. Hurry up and eat."
After not eating for a day, Yu Qianqian was starving.
She grabbed the steamed buns and started eating.
Dang Gui's heart ached. "Eat slowly. Don't choke."
It was too dry to just eat steamed buns. Yu Yuanyuan picked up the fruits on the incense table and ate them.
The juice in the melon eased her thirst.
Dang Gui was dumbfounded.
"This is an offering to the ancestors!"
Yu Niaoniao's cheeks were puffed up from eating, and her words were a little muffled.
"The ancestors definitely wouldn't bear to see me die of thirst. They probably wouldn't mind sharing a few fruits with me."
Dang Gui was speechless.
Her Miss did not have much else, but she had a lot of twisted logic.
Yu Niaoniao asked as she ate.
"They didn't give you a hard time, did they?"
Dang Gui said truthfully, "Master punished me for three months."
Yu Qianqian relaxed. 'It's just a fine. No big problem.'
Dang Gui had been picked up by accident when she was in Bashu.
At that time, Dang Gui was seriously injured and in a coma. It took her a lot of effort to get someone to treat her. However, Dang Gui lost her memory when she woke up. Even the name Dang Gui was given by her at the last minute.
Since then, Dang Gui had been following Yu Niaoniao.
On the surface, Dang Gui was Yu Niaoniao's maidservant, but Yu Niaoniao had never signed a contract with her, so Dang Gui was still a good servant. Even the Yu Residence could not punish her casually.
After eating, Yu Niaoniao felt much more comfortable.
Dang Gui carefully advised, "Miss, you don't have to always make Master angry. Even if Madam is no longer around, you are still the eldest daughter of the Yu family. As long as you are obedient, Master will definitely not mistreat you."
Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao only smiled faintly.
"You don't understand."
It wasn't that she had to argue with her father, but her existence was a thorn in the family's side.
Yu Kangtai's first wife was Madam Xie.
But because of some conflicts, the two of them had divorced many years ago.
After returning to her mother's house, Madam Xie realized that she was already pregnant.
She did not want to be involved with Yu Kangtai anymore, so she gave birth to a daughter Yu Niaoniao in her family.
From the moment she was born, she had never seen her biological father.
It was not until after her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen that she was brought to the Imperial Capital by the Marquis of Shun'an.
At that time, he had already married Madam Jiang, and Madam Jiang had already given birth to a son and a daughter for him.
The four of them were happy.
Yu Niaoniao's sudden appearance became a thorn that was forcefully inserted.
Everyone in the Yu residence felt a lump in their throat.
Yu Niaoniao had been pampered by her family since she was young.
She did not want to suffer herself to cater to them, so she simply let her temper take its course. She would do and say whatever she wanted.
Thinking of this, Yu Niaoniao smiled gently.
Dang Gui did not understand.
"Why are you smiling?"
