Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Youyao counted the days and remembered that today was the day the rebellion army set off. How could she sleep? “Get Old Madam Liu to prepare. I’m going to the Precious Peace Temple later.”

Chun Xiao was shocked. “Why are you suddenly going to the Precious Peace Temple?”

Which master didn’t flip through the almanac in advance to take a good look at the date and obtain the approval of her elders before leaving?

What was going on?

“I just felt uneasy and had an idea at the last minute.” When she suddenly woke up from her sleep in the morning, she remembered that today was the day her cousin would bring his troops to Shandong. For some reason, Yu Youyao wanted to make a trip to the Precious Peace Temple.

Chun Xiao was surprised and anxious. She advised, “Young Miss, this is not appropriate. Should we report it to Old Madam first and get her permission before going?”

Which young miss from a wealthy family went out without informing her elders?

Not to mention that Eldest Miss was still young. It was not appropriate for her to go out alone without the company of her elders.

The last time she sent Young Master out of the city, Old Madam had already made an exception on account of the deep relationship between Young Miss and Young Master.

Yu Youyao also knew that it was inappropriate, but she could only report it to her grandmother at dawn. She did not know if her grandmother would agree. She could not wait any longer. “I’ll explain to Grandmother later. Go down and prepare! ”

Chun Xiao looked disapproving. “Young Miss…”

Yu Youyao waved her hand. “Go down and prepare first. Get Xia Tao to help me wash up.”

At this point, Chun Xiao knew that she couldn’t persuade Young Miss. Although she didn’t agree, she couldn’t say much as a servant, so she could only go down and prepare.

Not long after, Xia Tao brought someone in to help Yu Youyao wash up.

At this moment, Nanny Xu also received the news. “My little ancestor, why are you making a fuss about going to the Precious Peace Temple for no reason? Although the Precious Peace Temple is a peaceful place for Buddhists, it’s rude not to have an elder accompanying you. No matter how much Old Madam dotes on you, she won’t let you go.”

Yu Youyao threw herself into Nanny Xu’s arms and wheedled, “If I bring Nanny along, it won’t be without an elder.”

Her grandmother trusted Nanny Xu and would definitely be at ease if she went with her.

Nanny Xu poked her forehead lightly. “Alright, go and make the arrangements yourself!”

Yu Youyao’s eyes widened. She did not expect Nanny Xu to agree so easily. “Nanny, aren’t you going to persuade me?”

Nanny Xu looked helpless. “Don’t I know you well? You’re determined to go to the Precious Peace Temple. No one can persuade you.”

Yu Youvao pouted. “Nanny dotes on me the most!”

Nanny Xu poked her forehead again. “Nanny Liu should be up by now. I’ll go to An Shou Hall to talk to her.” At this point, she couldn’t help but glare at her. “You’ve been spoiled!”

With Nanny Xu’s help, this matter was settled. Yu Youyao finally heaved a sigh of relief.

At dawn, the carriage had already left the residence.

Old Madam Yu was already awake. She leaned against the pillow and spoke to

Nanny Liu. “Ever since Linghuai returned to Youzhou, I knew that Yao Yao would cause trouble sooner or later.”

Nanny Liu agreed deeply. “Young Miss is also a growing child. She has a good relationship with Young Master. How can she not feel uncomfortable after

Young Master left?”

To think that Young Miss had endured it for a long time.

Old Madam Yu also nodded. “Don’t I know her? She hasn’t had a mother since she was young. Madam Yang has a sweet face, but her father is harsh. Her sisters aren’t close either. Even if she’s bullied, she’ll keep it to herself. If you ask her, she’ll pretend to be indifferent.”

Nanny Liu did not say anything. It was also because of this that Old Madam doted on Eldest Miss more and more.

Old Madam Yu sighed slightly. “After Linghuai entered the residence, he was wholeheartedly on her side, doting on her, protecting her like a brother and teaching her like a father. Even after interacting with her for just a few months, her reliance on Linghuai was no less than her reliance on me. Linghuai’s body was weak, and the road to Youzhou was long. How could she not be worried? She rushed to the Precious Peace Temple anxiously. I’m afraid she felt uneasy and wanted to pray for him.”

Earlier, Yao Yao had actually fallen seriously ill because of Yu Jianjia and almost lost her life under her watch. This made her suddenly realize that she couldn’t just dote on her granddaughter blindly. She should plan more for her granddaughter.

Therefore, she could only truly accept Zhou Linghuai after he entered the Yu

Residence.

She was happy to see Yao Yao get close to Zhou Linghuai.

Thinking about how Zhou Linghuai had taken root in the main house of the Yu Residence and how Yao Yao had her cousin’s help, even if she was troubled in the future, Yao Yao wouldn’t be alone and helpless.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Linghuai was an impressive person.

With such a cousin helping Yao Yao, she could feel more at ease.

She couldn’t wait for Yao Yao to get closer to Zhou Linghuai. How could she stop her from going to pray for Zhou Linghuai?

Nanny Xu was also someone who had become smart when she was young. She specially went to An Shou Hall to talk to Nanny Liu. “Eldest Miss dreamed of Young Master last night and felt uneasy. She woke up before dawn and made a fuss about going to the Precious Peace Temple to pray for blessings. No one could persuade her. I’m thinking that Eldest Miss is worried about Young Master. Young Master won’t be back anytime soon. If she doesn’t make this trip, I’m afraid she won’t be at ease. She can’t fall sick.”

At the thought of this, Old Madam Yu felt uneasy. When she was young, she also liked to run to the temple. Later on, when she was old and couldn’t run anymore, she set up a temple hall at home. Whenever she felt uneasy, she went into the temple hall. Now that she had something to rely on, she felt that her days were much easier.

Besides, Yao Yao missed her cousin, and this was the first time she had been separated from him. She felt uneasy. If she didn’t eat and sleep well, she would really fall sick.

She would just turn a blind eye and close her eyes.

Nanny Liu smiled. “Today is the day the rebel army sets off. Everyone in the capital has gone to the suburbs to watch the commotion. The Precious Peace Temple is also quiet. It’s appropriate for Nanny Xu to take her there.”

Old Madam Yu nodded. “This child looks noisy, but she knows her limits from a young age.”

On June 30th, Yin Huaixi set up an incense table in the schoolyard in the suburbs of the capital. He prepared five animals and held a sacrificial ceremony.

The flags on the entire ground were rolled up. The soldiers in heavy armor held knives, spears, swords, and spears in an orderly manner, looking majestic.

Yin Huaixi was wearing black armor and sitting on the high platform. He was wearing a black iron mask that covered most of his face. He raised his voice and read the “Heavenly Order for Li’s Denunciation.”

“The leader of the Li family in Shandong is a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has been deceived by the emperor and is righteous. He has carried out rebellions and schemes. He’s a jackal by nature, but he still harbors malicious intentions. He has stolen the country’s territory, disturbed its territory, and harmed its citizens. The gods hate him and the world doesn’t tolerate him.”

“His Majesty is wise and meritorious. He is praised by the four seas. He ordered us to prove that we were thieves. When we spoke, the north wind rose, and the sword qi rushed towards the Southern Dipper. If we were silent, the mountains would collapse, and the wind and clouds would change color.. With this order to defeat the enemy, how can we not destroy them? With this credit, how can we not win?”
