Chapter 440 Drawing a Clear Line

Yu Jiahui slumped in the chair with a nonchalant look on her face. "I didn't leave much there. Just let Qiangwei go with me."

Yu Jiaming sighed and sat beside her: "Jiahui, your marriage..."

"Brother, I remembered that I still need to tell Qiangwei something. Qiangwei, come with me." Yu Jiahui pulled Qiangwei out of the house quickly.

Yu Jiaming felt helpless. He just wanted to talk to his sister about her marriage, but he didn't expect her to be so resistant.

Yu Jiahui returned to her room and her words were real. She asked Qiangwei to prepare some gifts and bring them to Aunt Qing when she went to Pinggu Town.

After all, she had lived in Aunt Qing's house for some time, so she couldn't just leave without saying anything.

She also prepared some things for Zhou Jinman, just as a way of making friends.

When Aunt Qing received the things, she politely declined: "Jiahui has only been staying with us for a few days. I can't accept her things."

As Yu Jiahui's maid, Qiangwei is very good at speaking. She said that Yu Jiahui's departure was to visit relatives, and the gift given to Aunt Qing was proof of their good relationship.

In the end, Aunt Qing had to accept the gift, but she also gave back some specialties from Pinggu Town as a token of her appreciation.

When Zhou Jinman heard that Yu Jiahui was leaving, her face was filled with reluctance: "When I return to Beijing, I will definitely visit Sister Yu's home."

Qiangwei smiled and said that she would tell her young lady when she got back. Then she packed up the things left by Yu Jiahui, went to Jiang's house to tell Ye Mingzhu, and then returned to the county town.

In the evening, Aunt Qing and Uncle Yan talked about this matter and felt a little depressed: "I originally wanted Jin Man to follow Miss Yu back to Beijing, but I didn't expect Miss Yu to go to Jiangnan."

"It's okay, I'll think of another way." Uncle Yan was more open-minded than Aunt Qing. He thought that at most he could just go and send it off.

Unexpectedly, within a day, Yu Jiahui came back, followed by an old lady.

Yu Jiahui's face was full of displeasure. Aunt Qing then realized that the old nanny was the most capable nanny around Yu Jiahui's biological mother, Yu Mu, and she came specifically to pick her up.

Aunt Qing responded with a smile, but she didn't understand the old lady's background.

"My wife specifically asked me to come here to thank Madam Jiang Shao for saving my life." The old nanny explained her purpose with a respectful attitude.

"Madame Gui wants to see Sister Ye." Yu Jiahui translated.

Nanny Gui glanced at Yu Jiahui, and Yu Jiahui immediately shut up.

"My young lady is also grateful to Madam Jiang for her care." The maid behind Aunt Gui presented a gift.

Aunt Qing waved her hand and refused: "Jiahui has only lived here for a few days, and Jiahui also sent gifts. I can't accept these anymore."

"Madam Jiang saved my young master. My wife only regrets that she is in the capital, otherwise she would definitely thank you in person. These gifts are my wife's heartfelt wishes. Please accept them."

Nanny Gui had only been there for half a day when she found out about Aunt Qing's remarriage, and she simply addressed Aunt Qing as "Madam."

Aunt Qing felt that this was not right, as if the favor was gone now that they had said it.

The smile on her face faded a little, and she asked someone to invite Ye Mingzhu.

"Saving Lord Yu was an accident. Later, Lord Yu and my son had a good relationship. They helped each other, so there was no need to mention the life-saving grace anymore."

Aunt Qing had been taught by Uncle Yan for a while, and she could understand the hidden meaning behind Aunt Gui's words.

Aunt Gui's expression did not change at all, and she continued to speak to Aunt Qing with a smile.

Aunt Qing sighed inwardly, but still cheered herself up to deal with her.

Ye Mingzhu came very quickly and felt everyone's gazes as soon as she walked in.

Yu Jiahui ran over and took her arm: "Sister Ye, you are finally here."

Aunt Gui first bowed to Ye Mingzhu, then looked her over, and then smiled and repeated what she had just said to Aunt Qing.

Ye Mingzhu accepted the things with a smile without even looking at them.

Aunt Gui was stunned, but quickly reacted.

"Mr. Jiang and my son are both officials here. I'm afraid my son will have to trouble Mr. Jiang again in the future."

Ye Mingzhu had a bright smile on her face, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes.

"Master Yu is from the capital and is the chief official of a county. We are from the countryside, and my husband is only a small military officer. I am afraid that he can't help Master Yu."

Aunt Gui was stunned again. She didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to refuse so easily.

"Miss Yu and Aunt Gui have been exhausted from the journey, so we won't keep you any longer. You must get a good rest when you return."

Ye Mingzhu sent the guest away without waiting for Aunt Gui to speak.

Yu Jiahui blinked her eyes, her eyes full of admiration for Ye Mingzhu.

Nanny Gui was the most powerful nanny around her mother. She came to take care of her for a few days when she was a child. Although she was loyal, she was rigid and strict.

She had confronted Aunt Gui twice, but Aunt Gui didn't care at all that she was her master and punished her anyway.

The most hateful thing was that she couldn't refute Aunt Gui's reasons, and from then on she stayed away from Aunt Gui.

This time, Yu's mother sent Nanny Gui with the intention of disciplining her.

Now, seeing Aunt Gui being humiliated, she felt particularly happy.

"Sister Ye, we'll leave first and not trouble you anymore." Yu Jiahui readily agreed to leave, bowed to Aunt Qing and Ye Mingzhu, and got up to leave.

Nanny Gui was about to say something, but was caught off guard by Yu Jiahui's action.

She didn't want to embarrass her young lady in front of outsiders, so she could only stand up and follow.

After getting on the carriage, she immediately frowned: "Miss, it's a bit rude of you to leave directly."

Yu Jiahui felt a headache when she heard her talking. She winked at Qiangwei, then leaned back against the carriage with her head covered.

Qiangwei let Yu Jiahui lean on her head, and then she said to Aunt Gui with a worried look on her face: "Aunt Gui, the young lady's headache has come back, please don't talk for now."

Nanny Gui knew that Yu Jiahui was pretending to be sick, but Yu Jiahui was the master. Although she was dissatisfied, she had no other choice.

Ye Mingzhu watched Nanny Gui leave without even looking at the things Nanny Gui had given her, and asked Yunniang to take them.

Aunt Qing frowned: "This Madam Yu wants to draw a clear line between us."

Ye Mingzhu nodded: "These things are the price of her son's life. Since she thinks her son is worth these things, I will accept them."

"I didn't intend to use my life-saving grace to do anything. Since they want to use these things to end their relationship, we should just accept them."

Ye Mingzhu didn't understand what was wrong with Yu's mother. Several months had passed since the incident, and Yu's mother actually asked the servants to deliver a gift as a token of gratitude for saving her life.

She had money and things in her hands, and didn't care about the things Yu's mother gave her at all, but since Yu's mother was worried, she might as well accept them.

As for the relationship between Jiang Hongyu and Yu Jiaming, it was their business and she had no business with it.
