After a long while, she finally said, ”It is said that he is a rich farmer's family. I don't know the actual situation, I only know that the rich farmer's family is quite far away from the capital. Even the eldest young miss would first settle down at an inn in the city when she marries. She will only be returning home tomorrow to complete the wedding ceremony.”
”Eh?” Grandma Li's eyes were wide open in surprise, so she didn't say anything for a moment.
Old Lady Wang continued, ”Actually, this isn't a rare occurrence. However, according to Madame Marquis Zhong Yong's character, she always feels that something is amiss. Marrying such a distant family is like wanting her to never come back.”
Grandma Li had long since recovered from her shock. Now that she heard what Lady Wang said, her expression also became serious. She lightly sighed and nodded. ”Perhaps it really was like that.” Pausing for a moment, she continued, ”It's better that it's far. The eldest miss can at least be excused from being scolded by the mistress, afraid that she might marry into an unvirtuous family. With her gentle and charming personality, what would happen if she suffers and doesn't even have a family that can help her?”
”What you say makes sense, but even if we get married soon and Eldest Miss suffers from anger in her family, there is no one on her family's side that she can rely on. After all …” The First Young Master will be ten years old, and he's still young. ” With that, Old Lady Wang rolled her eyes and smiled. ”Actually, perhaps our worries are unnecessary. It's not like you don't know, Young Lady Li is not someone who can be manipulated by others.”
Recalling the miserable appearance of that arrogant and despotic servant woman a few years ago, who was usually silenced by the eldest young miss, Grandma Li smiled as if she understood what she meant.
However …
”Hey, you shameless old man. What are you crying about on such a joyous day?” Old Lady Wang teased him.
”You're still talking about me? Your eyes are already red, but I saw you secretly wipe your tears away.” Grandma Li gave her a glance.
Old Lady Wang didn't get angry even if she was exposed. She only said, ”Today is the Eldest Young Miss's wedding day. We must think of something good to fulfill this request.” As she spoke, she turned her head in the direction of Yun Qiu's room with a baffled expression. ”Old Lady Li, Eldest Young Miss is going to be married today …”
”Yeah, from now on, you don't have a caring daughter, Big Aunt.” Grandma Li continued.
Yun Qiu usually did not read only poetry like those young mistresses, he only talked about zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was like the daughter of an ordinary farmer who liked to cook in person and was not afraid of oil or smoke.
Old Lady Wang was the son of a family, and her husband was also the head servant of the family. He only had a few sons and no daughters. Although his daughter-in-law was half a girl, they were separated by a son, so it was impossible for them to get along.
Therefore, upon encountering such a clever and obedient young lady and seeing that she could not help but lose her dignity as a master, she became so sensible at such a young age, like a little adult, making others fall in love with her. He openly and secretly protected Yun Qiu, treating her like his own daughter. Whatever good food he got, he would give her secretly to satisfy her craving. He also taught Yun Qiu all the good culinary arts he had learned. Yun Qiu also treated her like his mother. When she grew up, she had more or less become a deterrent in front of her servants. That was why she often helped Lady Wang and her family.
The two of them had a deep relationship.
