Long Live the Empress

Chapter 151: Nature is hard to change

For three days in a row, Yue Jinghao stayed by Yue Yuyan's side. Manju looked at Yue Jinghao distressedly and muttered, "If the Third Miss dares to be as ungrateful as the Second Aunt in the future, I will... strangle her to death!"

Yue Jing looked at Manju with a smile, "Can you really do that? Now the Second Aunt has passed away, and I promised her that as long as Yue Yuyan doesn't harm me, I will take good care of her!"

Agate pouted, her face full of indignation, "When Madam left, the eldest daughter was only that young, and no one had ever taken care of her! How dare they ask for these things now!"

Yue Jinghao grabbed Manjue's hand and said, "From the beginning to the end, you are the only one by my side! Manjue, thank you!"

Manjue knelt on the ground quickly, "Miss, why are you saying these things! I am yours in life and yours in death! If I don't serve you, there is no point in my living!"

Yue Jinghao helped Manjue up, "What are you doing! Even if you want to leave, I'm reluctant to let you go! If you leave, where can I find such a stupid maid!"

Agate blushed, "Miss, how can you say that I am stupid! I...I am very smart!"

"Right, right, right! Our Agate is so smart. She has been writing a word for seven days and still hasn't gotten it right!" As soon as Yue Jinghao's teasing voice fell, Agate stomped her feet and ran away, "Young lady is always making fun of me! I will ignore you! I'm going to go see if Third Young Lady's medicine has been taken!"

Yue Jing looked at Manjue running away with a smile, and her heart was warm. No matter in the past life or this life, Manjue always treated her sincerely...

"Water..." Yue Yuyan murmured on the couch.

Yue Jinghao poured a glass of water and fed Yue Yuyan little by little with a spoon, and wiped Yue Yuyan's mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.

"Auntie...you're back..." Yue Yuyan opened her eyes a little and vaguely saw a woman feeding her water. In Yue Yuyan's impression, no one except the second aunt would treat her like this.

When she regained consciousness, she saw that the person was Yue Jinghao. "Big sister, why are you here?"

Yue Jinghao fed a spoonful of water into Yue Yuyan's mouth, "The third sister is sick, so of course the eldest sister has to take care of the third sister!"

Yue Yuyan just drank the medicine mechanically, trying to recall the horror of the day and the moon. Suddenly, Yue Yuyan grabbed Yue Jinghao's hand and said, "Big sister, save me! There are rats, there are so many rats..."

Yue Jinghao grabbed Yue Yuyan's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, third sister! I have killed those rats! Don't worry, third sister!"

Yue Yuyan then relaxed a little, "That's good... That's good..."

"What's good about that? Miss hasn't slept for several days to take care of you!" Manju put the medicine in her hand on the table. "Just look at the dark circles under Miss's eyes and you will know how hard she has worked!"

Yue Yuyan didn't care about Manju's disrespect, she just stared at the dark circles under Yue Jinghao's eyes. "Big sister...you...why are you so nice to me! Last time at Changqing Temple, it was you who saved me, this time..."

"You are my sister! If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well? Third sister, don't think too much, just drink the medicine quickly!" Yue Jinghao personally picked up the bowl of medicine, blew on it, and fed it to Yue Yuyan spoonful by spoonful.

Through this incident, Yue Yuyan realized the fickleness of human nature. She used to have a concubine to rely on, but now... she has been bullied by Yue Jinghong into this state. In the huge Yue Mansion, only Yue Jinghao can take care of her.

Yue Yuyan quickly finished drinking the medicine and asked, "Big sister, what should I do in the future?"

"You, don't think so much! Heal your wounds first, and think about the future later! If you think too much, your body will not get better so quickly! Just relax, and we'll talk about everything later!" Yue Jinghao said as she pressed the corner of the quilt for Yue Yuyan.

Yue Yuyan nodded. Yue Jinghao was right. She would think about it after she recovered. She would make sure that bitch Yue Jinghong died miserably!

Yue Jinghao looked at the hatred bursting out of Yue Yuyan's eyes and couldn't help shaking her head. It's true that it's hard to change one's nature!

Yue Yuyan was still very weak and fell asleep after drinking the medicine.

Agate also advised Yue Jinghao to take a rest, lest she get sick again when Yue Yuyan recovers.

Yue Jinghao had just nodded and was about to go back to Jinyuyuan to rest when she saw a man in a black cloak tiptoeing in.

Manju subconsciously protected Yue Jinghao behind him, "Who is it?"

The person took off his hat, revealing a childish face, "Big sister, it's me!"

Yue Jinghao let out a breath and relaxed her tense state, "Fourth sister, why are you here so late?"

Yue Chunruo raised the food box in her hand. "My aunt heard that my third sister was sick, so she made some cakes and brought them here, thinking that she could eat them when she woke up. But...my eldest sister also knows that my aunt and I have always been timid, so we can only come after the storm has passed..."

Yue Chunruo lowered her head as she spoke. Her aunt came from a poor family and had no powerful maternal family behind her, so she acted extremely cautiously.

Yue Jinghao pulled Yue Chunruo's hand over and said, "When Third Sister wakes up, I will tell her that Fourth Sister was here! Also, Third Aunt's cakes are so delicious, Third Sister will definitely like them too!"

Yue Chunruo was young after all, so she immediately smiled when she heard Yue Jinghao's words. She talked to Yue Jinghao for a while before sneaking back.
