Ning Xinyuan.
The matriarch woke up early in the morning and was rather surprised to see the waiter, Yinshuang, by the bedside. ”Why isn't Yinshu here?”
”I haven't been on guard for a few days, and you're asking for Xiaoyue the moment you open your eyes. If I don't appear in front of you now, I'm afraid you won't even remember the name Yinshuang!”
”You talk too much!” The Grand Matriarch laughed and scolded, ”Xiaoyue has always been a steady man. How could he leave without even giving an explanation? Has something happened in the Residence? ”
Ying Shuang said with a smile, ”You're still the best at observing people. When the First Madam came last night, I saw that you didn't think much of her, so I called me over to serve you. She accompanied the First Madam.”
The Countess let out a long sigh. ”This house is not doing well. I'd like to see what exactly is going on here that will keep Xiaoyue up all night.” Liuyue came back and told her to call me right away. ”
”Don't be angry. The mansion is under the control of the First Madam, so nothing can go wrong.”
The old mistress scoffed, ”If there's no problem, she wouldn't have come here so late either! ”Forget it, I'm old, so I can't care too much. As long as nothing serious happens, I'll just let them suffer.”
When a person grew old, he would always want to bear the weight of the sun and enjoy the happiness of the heavens. Even as Lady Destiny, she was no exception.
After the Fang family gave birth to their legitimate son, they gave her the full authority of the housekeeper. It was unknown whether it was because the Madam had been the head of the household for a long time, but her actions for the past two years had become increasingly impetuous.
”Eat some food first. When the Madam comes over later, she will naturally report to you about what has happened.”
The Grand Matriarch sat at the dining table, looking at the dishes in front of her. She didn't know what to eat, so she said, ”She hasn't come back for a whole night. She couldn't have suffered a loss at Lady Fang's place, could she?”
Glaucous laughed out loud, ”You still don't know her? With her personality that wouldn't let anyone off, besides her master, who else could make her suffer? Rest assured. ”
Only then did the Grand Matriarch eat the side dishes and use half a bowl of porridge before pushing the bowl away. ”Is it the Fang family?”
”He's here. The First Madame is waiting for him in the outer room.”
”Take away the food.” The Grand Matriarch stood up and walked out into the hall, followed by Glaucous.
When Lady Fang saw the Grand Matriarch come out, she hurriedly rose to pay her respects. ”Mother, did you sleep well last night?”
”Not bad. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to not even know that Xiao Yuehan has left. Where is Xiao Yuehan?” Why didn't I come with you? ”
Lady Fang's expression froze slightly, but in the end, she had been the Sect Leader's wife for so many years. However, she recovered quickly and replied with a smile, ”The little girl beside Mo Yun suddenly died yesterday. Xiao Yue Xin couldn't bear to do anything, so she waited on her.”
The Grand Matriarch had immersed herself in the harem for so many years, but when she heard her words, she knew that there was something she had to hide. She did not pursue the matter and instead changed the subject, ”Last night, you came late at night. Did something big happen in the estate?”
Lady Fang said slowly, ”Last night, the personal maidservant who was with the Second Miss came to find me secretly. She said that she found the Second Miss to be unscrupulous in her private affairs. This kind of thing is against the sect, so the daughter-in-law didn't dare to act on her own accord and sent people to report to you.”
The Grand Matriarch didn't bat an eyelid. ”Then what happens in the end?” ”Why did that girl, Moon Drinking, still stay at the Heart Appreciation Garden?”
The Fang family lowered their brows. ”When my daughter-in-law went over, Second Miss' personal maidservant suddenly died. As for Second Miss' matter, there was no proof, so my daughter-in-law gave up.” After all, if we cannot solve this problem silently, then it would not be appropriate for us to cause a huge ruckus.
