Chapter 270 Yu Qingyao
"Qingyao, don't go back yet. Let's go for a walk over to Luoshen Lake. They say a junior schoolmate passed the entrance exam yesterday and got accepted into our Beigong Academy. She looks like a fairy and is also a great painter. She's painting over there right now. I want to see how good she is."
Yu Qingyao said, "Sister Yu, I won't go over to join in the fun. I didn't sleep well last night. I'll go back and lie down for a while to catch up on my nap."
It’s so lively over there, Cheng Qingmeng will definitely go there.
Although it’s okay to run into her, I still try to avoid meeting her.
"Very well, I'll go with them."
Yu Qingmeng left the dining hall and led her servants towards the Sixth Rank Hall of Beigong Academy.
"Cousin, how about the scenery of Chaofeng Palace Academy?"
"Very good. The scenery of Beigong School and Nangong School each has its own merits."
"That's right, Beigong Xue planted crabapple trees..."
Yu Qingyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard the familiar voice. She looked up and saw Cheng Qingmeng leading Song Yu and other noble ladies walking towards them leisurely and elegantly.
"Miss." The servant Ah Chun quickly pulled Yu Qingyao, "What should we do?"
"Don't panic." Yu Qingyao quickly calmed down. "She doesn't know who I am, and she can't tell who I am."
Yu Qingyao quickly adjusted her mood, stepped aside to the side of the road, and bowed slightly to Cheng Qingmeng and others.
Cheng Qingmeng and others all had badges around their waists that symbolized their status and rank. The rank was on the front and the name of the noble lady was on the back.
There are many students in the palace academy, and they greet each other with badges.
"Cousin Meng, this sister is also of the sixth rank. Why haven't I seen her in class?" Jiang Shiyun reached out and hooked Yu Qingyao's badge in her hand and took a look. The word "Yao" was engraved on the back.
"Cousin, please don't be rude." Song Yu hurriedly pulled Jiang Shiyun away. After saying sorry to Yu Qingyao, he said to Jiang Shiyun, "This sister must be a senior from Beigongxue. The edge color of her waist badge is different from ours."
"Oh, yes, I didn't notice it just now." Jiang Shiyun looked up at Yu Qingyao with an apologetic look on her face and said, "Sister, I'm sorry for bumping into you just now. Please forgive me."
Yu Qingyao smiled and said, "It's okay."
"Cousin, we can't delay any longer. Let's go to Luoshen Lake. The scenery over there is more beautiful."
"Yes, there's a fairy-like school girl painting over there. Let's go take a look."
Cheng Qingmeng and her good sister, along with Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun, hurried to Luoshen Lake.
"Slow down, slow down." Jiang Shiyun fell behind. "My legs are short and I can't walk fast. Sisters, you didn't wait for me. Woo... I'm going to cry..."
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry." Song Yu quickly turned around and glanced at Yu Qingyao who was looking in their direction. "Cousin, I'll walk over there slowly with you."
Song Yu pulled Jiang Shiyun to catch up with Cheng Qingmeng and whispered, "But that person just now?"
"She must be Yu Qingyao. My sister Xue told me about her clothes and accessories this morning, as well as the waist badge. The word 'Yao' on it must be her."
Song Yu asked again: "How is it? Does he look like your father?"
Jiang Shiyun said hurriedly, "She doesn't look like Cousin Meng, so she shouldn't be my aunt's daughter."
Cheng Qingmeng nodded: "I just looked carefully and she really doesn't look like my father, it's just that her makeup looks good."
Song Yu said, "Will that obscure his appearance? After all, the Yu family can draw Xiao Nuo to be about 70% like."
Cheng Qingmeng frowned, "It's very likely. Looks like I have to find a way to ruin her makeup."
"Farewell, even if it's proven that she's not your father's daughter, the prophetic dream will still happen without intervention. Do you still have to plead with your father then?"
"How is that possible?" Cheng Qingmeng's voice rose and then dropped again, "You can't let my father and the Yu family go."
"That's all, let's go to Luoshen Lake."
Seeing them walking away talking and laughing, Yu Qingyao felt relieved. They probably didn't notice her makeup.
Fortunately, she followed her mother's instructions and covered her face on the first day she arrived at the Palace Academy, just in case she ran into her in the Palace Academy one day.
At the same time, she also felt resentful. Why didn't her parents take her to the Cheng Mansion?
It made her have to hide all these years!
"Miss, Cheng Qingmeng looks much better living in the Jiang Mansion than when she lived in the Cheng Mansion."
Yu Qingyao snorted coldly, "How can she not look good? It won't be long before she can hold her little brother."
After school, Song Yu left the Palace Academy first and rushed to Yukang Street.
He asked everyone accompanying him to disguise themselves along the way.
"Chunhua, keep an eye out for anyone hiding on Yukang Street with a portrait."
"Yes, Miss."
When he arrived at Yukang Street, he didn't find anyone waiting there, so Song Yu entered the Song Mansion through the back door.
After half an hour, Song Yu left the Song Mansion with nothing and a few medical books he had never read.
Not long after Song Yu left, people from the Yu family appeared at the street corner.
After staring for too long, the Yu family members were obviously a little lazy.
"Mother, I'm back." Yu Qingyao saw Yu Ziyuan's face filled with joy as she entered. "Did you find the whereabouts of that bastard?"
Yu Ziyuan's smile froze. "Watch your words. You're going to be the eldest daughter of a marquisate in the future. Why are you using so many foul words?"
Yu Qingyao bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "Mother, I just called you that out of turn. I won't do it again. Did he get it back?"
"His whereabouts are still unknown. Your father wrote to me saying he will be back in Beijing in three months."
"Really? Wasn't mother about to give birth then?"
Yu Ziyuan said, "Your father said he would rush back to accompany me in giving birth. Since we won the battle this time, your father asked General Du to let him come back half a month earlier. He will only make an official appearance on the day the army returns to the capital."
"Then Daddy can stay with you for another half a month, right?"
Yu Ziyuan smiled and nodded: "It is a foregone conclusion that your father will be granted the title of Marquis when he returns to the capital this time. In the future, the entire Marquisate will belong to you and your siblings."
Yu Qingyao asked, "Then how long do I have to wait before I can legitimately become the daughter of a marquis?"
Yu Ziyuan was also unsure, "Just wait patiently for a few more years, and you will definitely marry as the daughter of the Yongping Marquis."
Yu Qingyao knew it was uncertain when she heard this. "But what if Cheng Qingmeng gets married first as the daughter of a marquis? She'll soon be the daughter of a marquis, and Old Man Jiang's granddaughter. Wouldn't her husband's family be more important than her daughter's?"
Yu Ziyuan lowered her eyes. "Cheng Qing dreams of marrying into a wealthy family? That depends on whether she has the blessing. Cheng Zhangshi would not want to see Jiang Yunshu's daughter marry well."
Yu Qingyao was surprised, "Did mother make any plans?"
"That's natural. She can't get ahead of you. You'll know when Jiang Yunshu arranges a marriage for her."
When Old Madam Cheng learned that Cheng Xiao would be back in three months, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
His son has made great contributions, and the Cheng family will be conferred the title of nobility!
"Old Madam, should we let Madam come back? If Uncle comes back soon, Madam Yu will be due soon. Madam is a month late."
Madam Cheng said, "If we ask her to come back now, she definitely won't come back. Madam Jiang recovered her sight in less than a month and a half. We can wait. A month and a half is enough time for us."
Jiang Yunshu had no idea that he was being targeted again, and was pulling Cheng Qingmeng aside to question him.
"Is Yu Qingyao really not your father? Or did you recognize the wrong person?"
Cheng Qingmeng: "There's no mistake. A distant cousin of a good friend of mine is studying at Beigong Academy. I found out about her outfit and hair accessories in advance. Coincidentally, I ran into her not long after arriving at Beigong Academy. I was still trying to figure out how to confirm her identity when cousin Yun immediately took Yu Qingyao's waist badge and looked at it. The word 'Yao' was engraved on the back."
Jiang Yunshu said, "She didn't notice anything unusual. How come you suddenly showed up at Beigong Academy?"
"She shouldn't be discovered. We were originally going to Luoshen Lake. She must have used rouge and powder to cover her true appearance. My cousin said there's no need to waste money on her. She's not my daughter. My father schemed against my mother and the Jiang family from the beginning."
Jiang Yunshu was silent for a moment. "Your cousin is right. The most important thing right now is to take good care of the baby. The concubine will be giving birth in three months, and your father should be back soon. We have to get busy. Go to the Du Mansion tomorrow to find your cousin and see if she can help your grandmother regain her sight sooner. I can also go back home early to make arrangements."
