Chapter 658: The Closest and Most Distant Husband and Wife (Part 2)

Hui Niang's lips curved slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Mammy, I have to go this time."

She was not demonstrating to her boss, she was silently reminding Chang Hui - she was not a dull woman who was kept in the dark, she already knew about the past.

Chang Hui is a gentleman who values ​​friendship and has a bottom line.

But people change.

She didn't want to pull Chang Hui out after he got deeply involved again, but wanted him to "pull back from the brink" before he went down a path he shouldn't have.

"Didn't I say it clearly?" Hui Niang said softly.

We are all smart people and want to live a good life. There are no fundamental contradictions or conflicts of interest, so nothing will go wrong.

"...I also mentioned the troubles in my mother's family and expressed my support for him and my complete reliance on him. What else could he find fault with?"

The nurse was stunned after hearing this, and after a while she sighed in admiration, "I have always known that the young lady has her own ideas. Today I have been worrying about nothing."

"You are confused because you care too much." Hui Niang smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm just an ordinary woman. My life is nothing more than taking care of my husband and children. Fortunately, I have a good life, and I have no complaints about my husband."

She will live a good life.

As for Erya, Hui Niang could only envy her.

I envy her for being General Xiao's adopted daughter; I envy her for being able to receive the sincere love of two outstanding men; I envy her for being able to marry into the Duke's Mansion and become the Crown Prince's wife at such a young age.

But it's too far away, so I can't be jealous.

"Nanny, please help me think about what gifts to prepare for the master's wedding."

"You think too highly of me," the nurse said with a smile, "for such a big matter, you can make the decision."

She firmly believed that Hui Niang would handle it.

"This is a bit difficult." Hui Niang held her forehead with her hand. "Let me think about it. We can't sever this relationship with the Dong family no matter what. In the future, whether it's An Ge or his younger siblings, their future may depend on a word from the Dong family."

Only stupid women would bully the same sex around them out of jealousy.

A smart woman knows how to turn this relationship into a ladder to success for herself and her family.

After the wet nurse returned home, she said to her son and daughter-in-law, "Don't be greedy while having your cake and eating it too. Don't even think about leaving your country and starting your own business. The two of you combined are not even a fraction as smart as this girl."

The smartest way for a stupid person is to follow the smart person.

On the other side, Yun Ting and Erya had breakfast at three shops, and it was almost noon when they finished.

"This is delicious. I'll send some back to my mother."

"This one is good too. My eldest sister likes it."

Even when Erya is outside, she never forgets her family.

Yun Ting couldn't help but think of how Lu Qin's mother often said proudly, "My second daughter, even if you eat a grasshopper, you have to bring me a leg back."

——Isn’t this exactly the scene before our eyes?

"What else do you want to do?" Yun Ting asked Erya, "I'll go with you."

"No, go home."

"Okay, let's go."

"I mean, everyone should go back to their own homes." Erya glared at Yun Ting, "Do you think we're still outside?"

This is in the capital, with so many eyes watching us.

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, understand?"

Yun Ting: "...I am your great uncle."

Are relatives.

Erya was about to scold him when she saw the servant beside Yun Ting hurriedly running up to her: "Prince, Prince, Grandpa——"

"Grandma is urging me to go back?" Yun Ting asked calmly.

"No, the old ancestor sent someone to invite the second young lady to visit our house."

Yun Ting was stunned. Grandmother wanted to invite Zhuozhuo to go?

Why does this sound like something with bad intentions?

"No." Yun Ting said decisively, "Zhuozhuo, you go home first. I'll go back and see what grandma is going to do."

He knew that his grandmother was unhappy with the marriage.

But he had actually told his grandmother yesterday that he asked for the marriage, and it was not Erya who insisted on marrying him.

It now appears that the effect is limited.

Grandmother didn't seem to take his words to heart, and still habitually thought that all the mistakes were women's.

"The old lady missed me, so I went to see her." Erya said calmly, "Only ugly wives are afraid of meeting their parents-in-law, and I'm not ugly."

She is so beautiful!

"No, Zhuozhuo, be obedient..." Yun Ting was a little anxious.

"Obedience? Listen to whom? Stop imitating my father's words." Erya rolled her eyes. "The old ancestor is not a monster. We will always get along with each other in the future."

She felt she could handle it.

——As long as you want to do it, you must work hard.

It is impossible to reach all destinations through hard work, but most of them can be reached.

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion is not a difficult person to Erya.

The people you meet when doing business are so strange and varied.

The old lady came from a noble family and had always been a stickler for rules, but she was just a little rigid.

Moreover, the old lady’s “weakness” is in his own hands, so what is there to be afraid of?

Besides, she would have to see it sooner or later, and she seemed to be in the wrong by hiding it now.

"Zhuozhuo, I'm afraid that my grandmother—"

"That's my business. Just keep your mouth shut." Erya said, "You've done what you should do. The old lady has loved you for so many years. You can't just marry a wife and forget your grandmother."

At the very least, we must not let the old lady have this feeling.

"I can handle it." Erya said confidently, "I'll go home and dress up first, and then I'll bring her a gift."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Yun Ting smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

You see, Erya only has him in her heart.

This is for his own good.

I just regret that Chang Hui didn’t see it and didn’t know about this.

"Don't get involved," she said. "Go back first."

Wouldn't it be more of a hindrance than a help if the old lady felt that he was biased towards her?

Yun Ting thought about it and said, "That's fine."

He had to go back and wait and see, and arrange for a few old servants that his grandmother liked to be there to help speak.

Erya went home and carefully washed and dressed herself, changed into some steady yet elegant clothes, and brought with her various gifts that she had collected from all over the country.

The finest silk fabrics from Jiangnan, rare spices from Qiongzhou, exquisite gold and silver ornaments from the Western Regions... and a few boxes of fresh fruits rarely seen in Beijing.

Lu Qiniang was even more nervous than Erya.

"How about I go with you, Arya? No, let your eldest sister go with you."

Lu Qiniang felt that Daya was more thoughtful and considerate than her.

Erya said, "No need. Mother, you don't have to worry at all. The old lady is not a scourge or a beast, don't worry."

"I'm just afraid she won't agree to your marriage."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Yun Ting insists on marrying me."

Whether you accept it or not, the result will be the same.

The more courtesy, the less blame there is. Although the Duke's Mansion is not short of such, this is her intention and insight.

Arriving at the Duke's Mansion, the old lady was sitting in the flower hall filled with sandalwood, her expression indifferent and distant.
