C116 (2/2)

Although Lian Shiya's mother did not pursue the matter of the An Kingdom princess' residence any further, she still went to the Ramadan Hall to study and transcribe scriptures. She wholeheartedly worshipped Buddha, giving people a feeling that she had carefully thought about it.

Even her mother's anger slowly dissipated. They were all descendants of the Lian family, and her hopes were always good.

”Why are you here now?” Lian Li's mother and Lian Xi were having dinner together. Seeing her wet the hem of her skirt, she asked with surprise.

”Grandmother, I was just about to have a meal when I suddenly remembered that the Narcissus I planted in your yard last month was about to blossom and could not be exposed to the rain. I was anxious so I came to take a look immediately.” Lian Shiya lifted her hand to feel the rain on her face. Her sincere expression made Lian Mother's heart tremble with pity.

She had Huang Cen wipe his granddaughter's face with a clean handkerchief and said, ”It's just a pot of daffodil. If it's gone, then it's gone, and you even made a trip here in the rain. I know what you're thinking.” ”It's raining heavily outside. Senior Servant Song, please add a pair of chopsticks and eat before you head back.

Lian Shiya's face revealed a child-like expression of satisfaction as she said, ”Thank you, Grandmother. I'll send Narcissus to the back first, then come back for a meal.”

”Third Miss, please allow this servant to come.” In the past, Lian Shiya was doted on the most by her mother. Qing An Courtyard could come whenever they wanted.

”No need. I'm fine with it. I know where to put it.” As Lian Shiya spoke, she carried the water fairy to the backyard. Her steps appeared exceptionally light, just like a bright and cheerful young girl. When her mother saw this, she lightly nodded and said:

”This girl was originally a good person. It's just that her mother was unfaithful.” Even his mother had been in the harem for so many years, and he himself had fought his way here. However, he had been dissatisfied with his first wife, so he had become more reliant on the capable and astute Madam Xiao. Now that he had thought about these matters, he could think of the whole story.

The rain continued to fall. Lian Shiya carried the water fairy along the corridor in the backyard to the eaves in the east side. She tiptoed to place it on the wooden shelf, looked around, and then knocked on the wooden door three times.

”Knock, knock, knock …”

”Third Miss …” Then, a soft voice sounded, and a hand stretched out from behind the wooden door.

Lian Shiya quickly took out something from her sleeve and placed it in that hand as she said in a low voice, ”I'll give it to the white fox to eat. Three consecutive meals, don't expose it.”

”Yes.” That hand immediately retracted back. Lian Shiya's bright young smile returned to her face. She stroked the water droplets on the Water Immortal and walked back to her mother's side.

After dinner, she read two pages of scripture with her mother and waited for her mother to sleep. Only then did she leave Qing An courtyard with an umbrella in her hand.

Grandmother originally liked her very much, so she definitely wouldn't take back all her years of liking her just because of an accident. Therefore, as long as she behaved well and was able to understand the situation, she could still be doted on. After all, she hadn't eaten with her grandmother in so many years, yet she was treated like this.

It rained for two whole days, all the way until the third day.

Once the rain stopped, the third level maidservant, Yu Zhu, arrived at the Purple Cloud Courtyard. She said that Imperial Concubine Fu had specially ordered people to bring a batch of fine ingredients from the palace so that the madame could distribute them to the young ladies in the residence for making clothes.

”Has everyone else arrived?” Lian Ruyue did not move as she asked.

”Replying to Eldest Miss, almost all of them have arrived.” Yu Zhu cautiously asked, not daring to raise her head.

”Young master will come to my place once you're out of school. I'll wait for him and we'll go together. You can go back first.” Lian Ruyue said.

”Yes.” Yu Zhu lowered his head, turned around and walked out.
