Lian Rou looked at Lian Ru Yue and saw that she was quiet and gentle, neither fighting nor snatching. Her mood became better as she pulled Lian Ru Yue's hand and pulled her to her side and said: ”My Yue Er is still the best. She is a sensible person and can accomplish great things. ”Yanqing, in the future, we should look more favorably on Yue'er.”
Ever since he said that she was extremely precious to him, Lian Yanqing had improved his opinion of Lian Ruyue. After the continuous chants, he now had a whole new level of respect for this direct daughter of his. He nodded and said, ”Yue Er is sensible, mother is right.”
”Sigh …” At this time, even her mother sighed deeply and said, ”If only my obedient grandson was here too. This child, he left just like that when he said, with such a stubborn temper. You don't look like that.”
When Lian Ruyue heard this, her eyebrows slightly jumped. She used her hand to cover the teacup, slowly pouring tea for Lian Mother.
Lian Yan Qing said, ”Mother, I've been sending people to look for him. Yi'er is a very sensible person. He knows that we're worried about him and will be back very soon.”
”How long has it been since the assassination? I feel uneasy just thinking about it. I'm always afraid that something might happen to him.”
”Grandmother, don't worry. Everything will be fine.” Lian Ruyue softly said from the side. No one noticed the determination in her tone.
When Lian Ruyue walked out of Qingan Courtyard, the sky was already dark. Her cold brows hurriedly walked over, and she put her hand next to her ear as she said a few words.
Lian Ruyue's eyes focused, and her face revealed a cold expression. Her nails sunk into her palms!
On the second day after the imperial edict, Lian Yanqing went to the palace to officially express his gratitude. Aunt Xiao, on the other hand, accompanied Lian Shiya to Qingan Courtyard to kowtow and officially became his wife. In the palace, they called each other Lady Xiao.
Next, the two of them went to Fuan Hall to serve tea to his wife, Madam Rong.
Madam Xiao knelt in front of the Eldest Madam and raised a cup of tea above her head. She said respectfully, ”Eldest Madam, please have some tea.”
The first wife had a dignified and gentle smile on her face as she received the cup of tea with both hands and drank it. Then, she instructed, ”Senior Zhou, please bring me the box carved with the Agarwood.”
”Yes.”
The First Madam opened the box and took out a pair of silver bracelets, which were inlaid with pure gold. She placed them in Madam Xiao's hands and said, ”Sister, after so many years, it's finally time for you to stop calling yourself a lowly concubine in front of me. When I married these two bracelets, my mother gave them to me as a personal gift.
Madam Xiao looked at the pair of bracelets in front of her. As expected, it came from Madam Rong. She was surprised for a moment, thinking that she would see how unhappy and distressed Rong Xue was. She didn't expect her to be so well-mannered and happy with her.
She was stunned for a moment before accepting the bracelet. ”Thank you Madam.”
Then, the First Wife took out another pair of Jingtai Blue bracelets and gave them to Lian Shiya, saying, ”Shiya, now you're a county magistrate of high grade. From now on, you have to be more consistent with the role model and make all the other sisters in the mansion proud of you.”
Lian Shiya was the same as Madam Xiao; she planned to see the First Madam's stinky face, but she didn't expect to find a pair of precious bracelets as a gift. She took them over and said, ”Ya Er thanks mother.”
The First Madam stood up and walked in front of Madam Xiao. She personally bent down and used both hands to help Madam Xiao up. ”Little sister, from now on, the two of us should work together to solve the old master's problem.”
”Yes, sister.” Madam Xiao suppressed the coldness in the corner of her eyes and smiled.
When Madam Xiao and Lian Shiya left the courtyard, they felt that it was somewhat boring. This was like carrying food and ammunition with the intention to go all out, but the other side had brought out fine wine and delicacies from the imperial court, preventing them from seeing the other side's miserable state.
”Mom, look, what does that mean?” Lian Shiya asked.
Madam Xiao frowned. ”It's impossible for the previous Rong Xue to be like that, watertight! This must have been taught to her by that slut, Ru Yue! ”
”Hmph.” Lian Ru Yue disdainfully snorted. ”Who cares about her. Anyway, I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Even Ru Yue has to greet me!”
