Chapter 757

What a terrible mess this is!

This old lady really went to great lengths to prevent her from sleeping in.

Jixiang stepped forward, ready to help Huo Zhao with her hair and makeup, but Huo Zhao only asked one question before lying down again.

"...Young Madam?"

Huo Zhao hummed in agreement, and after a while said, "Have someone prepare tea and snacks. If Grandmother hasn't eaten, bring the food up. Don't call me."

Jixiang stood there, stunned, thinking she had misheard.

They've already arrived at the door, why isn't Huo Zhao coming out?

Having heard no sound from Jixiang for a long time, Huo Zhao forced himself to open his eyes and ask her, "Is there anything else?"

Jixiang swallowed hard: "The matter... is over, but young mistress, do you really want to do this?"

“Of course,” Huo Zhao said, “that’s how my father and mother taught me. If anyone has something to say, go and talk to them.”

auspicious:......

Tell those four people...

He couldn't win an argument with Chen Zongwen, and he couldn't beat Huo Yue in fists...

Seeing that Huo Zhao was determined not to get up, Ji Xiang had no choice but to accept the reality and turn to leave.

Hearing the bedroom door close, Huo Zhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly—

She's incredibly bold.

In the past, she would never have dared to do something like this.

They had already gotten up and gone to serve their elders.

Lost in thought, Huo Zhao fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Jixiang arrived in front of the old lady.

The old lady was sitting upright in the main hall. When she saw that Jixiang had returned alone, she raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong? I've come all this way myself, and my granddaughter-in-law still won't get up?"

Jixiang curtsied and said, "Please forgive me, Madam. Young Madam caught a chill last night and is unable to get up right now. However, our Young Madam specifically instructed us not to neglect you. Madam, have you eaten yet? Our cook here was originally from the Prince of Yunnan's mansion. His cooking skills are excellent. Perhaps Madam could have some?"

The old lady sneered: "You don't need to use the Yunnan Prince's Mansion to intimidate me. Once she's in our Marquis's Mansion, she's our daughter-in-law. Even if she were a princess, let alone just a county princess, she would still have to serve us!"

Seeing the troubled look on Jixiang's face, Le'an said, "Madam, you must be joking. I've been in Luoyang for so many years and I've never heard of a princess serving others. Besides, our young mistress didn't mean to refuse to get up and serve. Didn't she catch a cold yesterday?"

Jixiang quickly replied, "Yes, yes, our young mistress is also worried about passing on her illness to the old lady!"

The two of them, speaking in unison, made the old lady's face darken completely.

The old lady abruptly stood up: "I want to see if she's really sick! If she's just being lazy and doesn't want to see me, then that's a deception!"

After saying that, the old lady lifted her leg to leave.

But as soon as she reached the edge of the main hall, she was blocked by Mother Water.

Water Mama was Zhong Jie's confidante. This time, when Huo Zhao returned from the Prince's Mansion, Zhong Jie specially asked Water Mama to come along to support her.

Mother Water was tall and strong, and now she was frowning, which looked quite intimidating at first glance.

The moment she stood there, she was like a small mountain, making it impossible for the old lady to get around her.

The old lady narrowed her eyes: "Who are you? I don't remember having anyone like you in our Marquis's mansion!"

Madam Shui bowed to her: "Replying to the old lady, I am a servant of the princess. It's been cold lately, and my princess was worried that the young lady wouldn't be able to take good care of herself, so she asked me to come and keep an eye on her."

As she said this, Mother Water's brow remained furrowed.

She looked down at the old lady as if she were looking at an unreasonable child.
