If she went out for a walk more, she would feel more relaxed. She wouldn’t be like a young woman who hid in her room to copy Buddhist scriptures.

She did not want her granddaughter to be so deeply involved in Buddhism at such a young age.

No matter how complicated Yu Youyao’s heart was, what had to come would eventually come. She had to face it.

Since she couldn’t escape or hide, she should be more calm.

A nightmare was ultimately just a nightmare.

In reality, as long as she did not accept her grandmother’s order and marry into the Zhenguo Marquis Residence like in her nightmare, she would not have end up like in her nightmare.

As for her grandmother’s plan, didn’t she still have her cousin?!

At the thought of her cousin, Yu Youyao felt much more at ease.

On the seventh of August, Yu Youyao brought the prepared gifts and went to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence with Nanny Xu, Chun Xiao, and Xia Tao.

The carriage drove all the way into the Flower Gate.

Xia Tao helped Nanny Xu out of the carriage first. Immediately, a nanny came forward and took the birthday gift from Nanny Xu, politely greeting her. Yu Youyao followed closely behind and alighted from the carriage

Song Wanhui’s eyes lit up. “You’re finally here.” As she spoke, she sized up Yu Youyao. “It’s been a long time since we last met. Why do I feel that you’ve changed a lot?”

Yu Youyao asked, “How have I changed?”

Song Wanhui laughed. “You’ve become a big girl. You’re getting more and more beautiful. At first glance, I thought you were a fairy daughter who had fallen from the sky.”

Yu Youyao was wearing a dress that had an open chest today.

The light apricot-colored gauze top was thin and impenetrable, like a cloud. It was paired with a pearl brocade dress that reached her chest. The pearl brocade was as thin as water and as light and bright as pearls. It was close to her body and did not touch her flesh. It was even cooling to wear.

Her outfit was exquisite and generous. Although it was not grand, it was just

It made the young lady look like a fairy.

The last time she had seen Yu Youyao, it had been at the Flower Festival of the

Marquis of Changxings Residence. The Empress Dowager had rewarded Yu Youyao. At that time, she still looked like a child.

This time, when she looked at her again, there was already a hint of calmness in her eyes, and she had the delicate look of a young lady.

Yu Youyao smiled. “It’s not any better than your high spirits today. You’re radiant.

On today’s birthday celebration, although Song Wanhui was not dressed grandly, she was still dressed carefully. She was wearing a small crown with beads on her head and a green veil dress. Even the tips of her exposed shoes were inlaid with an exquisite eastern bead.

As the two of them spoke, another carriage entered the Flower Gate.

Qi Sinian did not let the maidservant help him. He quickly jumped out of the carriage. “I’ve been waiting for this day. I’m really happy to see you today.” Ever since the new year, the events in the capital had never stopped.

First, it was the academy examination, then the palace examination. Then, King Ping entered the capital. A few days later, Ye Hanyuan knocked on the drum, followed by the rebellion in Shandong, and then the trial of King You…

They did not know when it would end.

The three of them felt sad.

Yu Youyao couldn’t help but ask, “Who else isn’t here?”

Song Wanhui smiled and said, “It’s Fifth Miss Tang.”

Qi Sinian was shocked. “Fifth Miss Tang is back from the nunnery?

Yu Youyao looked up. “Speak of the devil.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a pet.i.te girl alight from the carriage with her dress.

The little girl was not tall, but her figure was slender, and she looked delicate and pleasant.

Song Wanhui and Qi Sinian were stunned. “This, this, she’s Fifth Miss Tang?”

They turned to look at the emblem on the carriage. It was a Tang Residence carriage.

Yu Youyao was also shocked. Although she knew the real reason why Tang

Yunxi had gone to the nunnery, she did not expect that in just a few months, Tang Yunxi would have changed completely. She was like a completely different person.

Yu Youyao blinked and called out tentatively, “Fifth Sister Tang?”

“If it isn’t me, then who else can it be?” When Tang Yunxi saw their reactions, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “I originally planned to return to the residence after a while, but the capital hasn’t been peaceful recently. My mother asked me to return to the residence early and it happened to be on Third Sister Songs birthday, so I didn’t make a fuss. I planned to give you a surprise.”

After returning to the residence, her family looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.

She took a box and copied Buddhist scriptures for her grandmother. Her grandmother happily held her hand and called her “good granddaughter.” Her att.i.tude towards her seemed to have changed.

At that time, the expressions of Concubine Zhao and her daughter were really interesting.

Song Wanhui finally confirmed that this wasn’t an illusion. She pulled Tang Yunxi’s hand. “This isn’t a surprise. It’s more like a shock. I haven’t seen you in a few months, and you’ve become a different person. I don’t even recognize you.”

She had lost weight, and even her vitality was different. There was nothing like when she had seen her at Yu Youyao’s birthday banquet. It wasn’t just her figure, but her appearance and aura.

It was really a rebirth from the inside out.

Qi Sinian also sighed. “Nanny Xu is really amazing. I remember that Yao Yao also grew fat back then. It’s only been a while since I last saw her, but she suddenly seemed to have become a different person.”

When Tang Yunxi entered the nunnery, they usually exchanged letters and mentioned that she had gone to the nunnery to pray for her grandmother. The real reason was that Nanny Xu had recommended a powerful nanny who could help Tang Yunxi nourish her body and physique, causing her to lose weight. Yu Youyao was happy for Tang Yunxi from the bottom of her heart. “Fifth Sister has a good foundation, which is why she looks so good after losing weight.”

After losing weight, the exquisiteness of Tang Yunxi’s facial features was revealed. She had a small round face, almond eyes, and small lips. She was cute and exquisite, like a jade porcelain doll that her grandmother had given her. Tang Yunxi held Yu Youyao’s hand gratefully. “I don’t know how to thank you.”

Yu Youyao smiled. “Don’t say thank you anymore. You’ve said too much, and your words are too cheap.”

The few of them laughed.

Since everyone was present, Song Wanhui brought them to Old Madam Songs Glorious Fortune Residence to greet her.

Although the few of them were a little older, they were at the age when their appearances were starting to develop. They already looked quite beautiful. Old Madam Songs eyes lit up when she saw this.

Especially…

After not seeing her for half a year, Yu Youyao’s figure had grown again, and her appearance had also grown a little. She was really charming and elegant. Yu Youyao was extremely good-looking, not inferior to her biological mother.

What was rare was that she was beautiful, bright, and clean.

It was said that appearances came from the heart. Only a woman who had cultivated talent in the family could exude beauty from the inside out.

People would judge first from appearance, then from actions and finally from her character.

This was how people took a deeper look at one’s personality..
