The return of the Eldest Miss Badas

18

In fact, Butler Wan did not have as much respect for Yan Jinyu as he seemed. It was only because he saw that Yin Jiujin valued Yan Jinyu and he wanted to leave a good impression on Yan Jinyu when it would not affect his own interests.

If Yan Qingyu, Fu Ya, and Yan Jinyun were here, he would definitely not treat Yan Jinyu like this.

After all, he was the butler of the Yan Family, and he still had to rely on those who had authority in the Yan Family to survive. No matter how much Yin Jiujin valued Yan Jinyu, she still had no say in the Yan Family.

Yan Jinyu could tell what the butler was thinking with a single glance, but she was too lazy to expose it.

He only felt that this feeling of relying on the strength of others was very refreshing.

For years, the reason why others feared him and treated him differently was because of him. Unlike now, the attitude of the butler and servant of the Yan Family towards him completely changed because of Yin Jiujin.

"I won't see any flowers in the yard. Butler Wan, please lead. I want to go to the old residence to see it. Also, find someone to send this to my room." It didn't matter in the past, but now her fiance was willing to spend so much effort to take care of her hands and since she had done nothing recently, there was no harm in following her instructions.

"Old residence?"

The old residence of the Yan Family was actually right behind the area of the Yan Family mansion. The area of this mansion had been expanded by the Yan Family in the early years.

As for the old residence of the Yan Family, the building was simpler and unadorned. Old Master Yan and Old Lady Yan used to live there when they were alive.

The ancestral hall of the Yan Family was also in the old residence.

Yan Jinyu wanted to present incense to the two elders, so she naturally had to travel to the old residence.

But judging from Butler Wan's expression, he didn't seem to want to take her too much.

Butler Wan was afraid that Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were not happy if they heard about this.

Seeing that he frowned and hesitated, Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes and chuckled softly. "Why? Is Butler Wan not leading? Or does Butler Wan think that I have no right to enter the old residence of the Yan Family?"

Butler Wan actually felt a chill run down his back as he looked into his smiling eyes, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. "Of course not! For a long time no one had gone to the old residence. I was too shocked to react when I suddenly heard that Missy wanted to leave."

"If not, then lead the way."

"I'm sorry for asking, but why did you go to the old residence? There aren't many people there and there aren't many."

Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled. "What else can I do in the old residence after I return to the Yan Family 16 years later? Naturally, I will meet the deceased ancestor of the Yan Family."

Butler Wan shuddered again.

For a moment, he could not understand why his words sounded so strange even when there was nothing wrong with it.

What's even stranger is that he's obviously a rural hick growing up in a small place and has never seen much of anything in the world. Why didn't he show signs of cowardice? He also did not seem to feel uncomfortable with his current condition.

Yesterday, she overheard her conversation with her parents, saying that she still has memories since she was two years old. Maybe that's why he was able to adapt to this new environment so quickly?

As he thought about it, Butler Wan looked at Yan Jinyu again. However, the moment he met her smiling eyes, his gaze instantly moved away.

"Miss, please follow me." He instructed the waiter who was standing at the side. "Zhao Ling, send Missy's things back to her room."

Zhao Ling was the housekeeper who brought Yan Jinyu to the small villa at the back yesterday. He was already a little afraid of Yan Jinyu. After he saw the attitude of Cheng Lin, Yan Qingyu, and the others towards Yan Jinyu, he was the one who respected him the most in the Yan Family.

After hearing the butler's instructions, he glanced at Yan Jinyu and hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'll send them now."

It took over 20 minutes to walk from the main building of the Yan Family to the old residence.

At the entrance of the old residence, Butler Wan stopped. "First Lady, we're here." Other than the people who came to clean regularly, there was usually only an old butler guarding the place. There wasn't much of a human presence, so it looked a little scary.

Butler Wan won't come in.

"Given my status, I am not allowed to enter the old residence without permission. I can only send Eldest Miss here."

"Okay, you can come back now. You don't have to wait here."

Hearing this, Butler Wan fell silent. Wait here? The only reason he would lead the way for her was because the Nine Lord's attitude towards her was slightly different. Did she really think that she was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yan Family?

Wait here? He actually dared to ask!

"Please help yourself then, Missy."

Yan Jinyu no longer cared about Butler Wan, who left angrily. He looked at the vermillion door in front of him.

Although her room was in the main building in the early years, she actually spent more time in the old residence.

Among the twins, Yan Jinyun's body was weaker than her, and she was preferred over him. His parents liked Yan Jinyun more than him. Grandma might see their bias, so she tried her best by taking him to the old residence so that he could take care of her.

To him, the significance of the old residence was far greater than the main building in front of him.

He raised his hand and pushed open the vermillion gate. An elegant courtyard greeted his eyes.

Although the Yan family was the number one family in the Northern City, the old residence was not luxurious and looked similar to an ordinary courtyard house. The decorations inside are the best.

Perhaps due to the good weather, some old items were brought out to bask in the sun on the stone slabs in the courtyard. An old man was sitting on a low bench at the side and wiping one of the items.

The old man looked to be between 70 and 80 years old.

Hearing the commotion, he raised his eyes and looked up. When he saw Yan Jinyu enter, his slightly overcast eyes suddenly lit up. In the midst of his shock, there was also excitement, "Mom?"

Then, he shook his head and denied, "No, you are not Madam. Even if Madam was still alive, she no longer looked this young. Who You?"

Yan Jinyu had just returned to the Yan family home last night, and very few people were going to go to the old residence. Therefore, this old man clearly did not know that he had returned to the Yan Family.

"Yan Jinyu," Yan Jinyu said calmly and continued walking in.

The old man was startled by him again and almost dropped the old item in his hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught the item.

He put it down and stood up with trembling hands, "You Miss Yu?"

Yan Jinyu's eyes moved slightly, but it was only a moment. It was as if the different emotions in his eyes were just an illusion. He slightly nodded, "Grandfather Xin, it's me." His voice sounded a bit far away.

Yan Xin's. The older generations all had servants who grew up in families. Yan Xin grew up with Yan Jinyu's grandfather in the Yan Family so it was normal for her to have the surname Yan.

"Y-you're back?" The seventy-six year old man shed tears just like that, "Miss Yu, you're finally back. Mr and Mrs ... Ladies and gentlemen can't wait for you to return ..."

As he spoke, he walked towards Yan Jinyu, "Don't talk about this anymore. It's good you're back now! The Old Master and Madam could calm down now that they knew about this. The sun shines outside.. Miss Yu, please go in the house first."
