Because of Yun Qian Meng’s words, the old madam was a little displeased. But then she thought about Yun Qian Meng being respectful to her, Yun Qian Meng looking after Yun Yiyi and also the power of Fu Guo Gong Fu, the displeasure faded a bit. After all this isn’t the time to deal with Yun Qian Meng yet. Although Liu Han Yu is the one in charge of this big Xiangfu, but Liu Han Yu always follows Yun Qian Meng’s orders. Beside Yun Xuan Zhi and me, his mother isn’t close. It’s better to curry favor from Yun Qian Meng. So this person can’t be offended otherwise Yi Heng and Yi Jie will be affected.
After thinking it through, the expression of the old madam turned much gentler. Her attention temporarily left Yun Yiyi, smiled to Yun Qian Meng and said: “The jewelry that Meng er sent yesterday was really delicate and expensive. Zumu really like them.”
Yun Qian Meng heard the flattering from the old madam’s words. She also smiled and said softly: “It’s just a little piece of granddaughter’s mind. So many years, granddaughter couldn’t be filial to zumu. I hope that zumu isn’t dissatisfied with granddaughter and help granddaughter be filial.”
Listening to Yun Qian Meng’s response, the heart of the old lady got peace. At least Yun Qian Meng let her knows that if she accept Yun Qian Meng’s mind, all can be negotiated.
This pair of granddaughter and grandmother smiled at each other in front of the unsuspecting Yun Yiyi. All doesn’t need to be said anymore.
At this time, Rui mama entered and said that Liu yiniang has come. Old madam nodded to let her come in. Liu Han Yu was wearing a yellow skirt. On her head were a few pieces of jade hairpin. The earrings on her ears shook a little while she walks. It was a really beautiful sight.
It’s just that on her beautiful and pale face, fatigue can be seen. Even when paying respect to the old madam and Yun Qian Meng does it feel like she doesn’t have the energy.
“What’s the matter with yiniang? Why does yiniang sound so tired?
The old madam and Yun Qian Meng haven’t said anything yet when Yun Yiyi asked those questions. If this happened on a normal day in their hometown, the old madam wouldn’t have said anything, but Yun Yiyi was so without manners in front of the two people of Xiangfu. It lets the old lady totally lose face.
Yun Qian Meng’s gaze only swept lightly over Yun Yiyi. Then she held a cup in her hand and slowly sipped tea.
The old madam glanced quickly at Yun Qian Meng from the corners of her eye and saw that Yun Qian Meng didn’t bother with Yun Yiyi’s manners. She secretly glared at Yun Yiyi and then said: “Can it be that Liu yiniang is sick? That’s why you’re like without spirit?”
This is a somewhat heavy statement. What sick servant would dare to enter their master’s room? If they are unlucky they’ll get charged with spreading the sickness deliberately to their masters. If the sentence is light, they’ll be driven out of the resident. If the sentence is heavy, they’ll be beaten to death.
Therefore when Liu yiniang heard the old madam’s not deep and not light interrogation, she froze for a moment. Her face turned paler and said a little scared: “Excuses for letting old madam be bothered. Yesterday, this slave just forgot the hour while looking at the accounting books. Until the yin hour did I go to sleep. That’s why I’m slightly tired.”
While she was speaking, Liu Han Yu peeked once at Yun Qian Meng and saw that she was drinking tea. The faint smile on her lips is as free and calm as the lilies outside. It lets the Lui Han Yu’s heart that was scared by the old madam turn back calm. At the final sentence there isn’t a trace of fear anymore. It has an impressive trace of calm in it.
Seeing the change in Liu Han Yu, the old madam’s sharp eyes immediately looked at Yun Qian Meng. She is surprised to find that Yun Qian Meng already turned her eyes away. Then she looked at Yun Yiyi who was beside her and fixed the bead hairpin on Yun Yiyi’s head.
The old madam couldn’t pick anything wrong about Yun Qian Meng so she had to continue to face Liu Han Yu. Without good intention, she asked: “Recently has nothing happened in the resident? Is that Su Qing a bit more honest now?”
These days the old madam was happy because Yun Yiyi arrived at the mansion. She temporarily let the matter that happened between Yun Ruo Xue and Rui mama slide.
And the attitude of Yun Qian Meng towards Yun Ruo Xue is unexpected and misty, making the old madam unable to figure it out. So she decided to first watch and then dispose of the Su Qing and her daughter.
Being asked by the old madam, Liu Han Yu said respectfully: “These past few days Su yiniang stayed at Feng He Yuan and wrote Buddhist for old madam. The second miss is also staying in her room to recuperate. Today this servant has come is because this servant has something to report.”
Having said that, Liu Han Yu paused. Her eyes subconsciously looked at Yun Qian Meng. Yun Qian Meng gave her encouragement with her eyes. Then she kneeled and congratulated: “Congratulations, old madam. Just now the mama who lives at Liu Yuan, said that Hua yiniang is a month pregnant.”
After saying that, Liu Han Yu knocked her head on the floor to the old madam. All the maids inside the room also fell on their knees and congratulate the old madam.
Yun Qian Meng and Yun Yiyi stood up, bowed and said: “Congratulations zumu!”
Facing with a room full of people with a happy face, the face of the old madam turned dark. In that pair of eyes flashed something black, but it’s not joy. It has more of hate in it. She recovered her expression too late and all the people congratulating her didn’t know if they should go on.
Comment:
I don’t remember anymore what happened to Rui mama and Yun Ruo Xue, but it has something with the injury on Yun Ruo Xue’s head. Zumu only loves her second son. She only wants to gain benefits from he first son to benefit Yun Yi Heng, YunYi Jie and Yun Yiyi.
