At dinner time, several concubines came to the old lady one after another. Even Su Qing, who had always been arrogant, came to Baishun Hall carefully with the help of Nanny Wang!

However, compared to others, Su Qing arrived later, only half a cup of tea earlier than the head of the family, Yun Xuanzhi!

The old lady was a smart person. She hadn't expressed a single word of dissatisfaction earlier. She just drank tea and chatted with Yun Qianmeng and Yun Yiheng. It wasn't until Yun Xuanzhi stepped into the warm room that she put down her teacup, put away the smile on her face, and said lightly, "Madam Su is really getting better and better at handling things! There's no mistress in this mansion, so you're the one who deserves it!"

Su Qing knew that she was late and made the old lady unhappy, but now that she was pregnant, her physical strength naturally could not compare with the other vixens, so she smiled and said, "Old lady, please don't make fun of me! It's just that I am pregnant with the master's child, so I have to be extremely careful and dare not walk too fast. That's why I am a little later than the other concubines. Please don't blame me, old lady!"

"Mother, since this is your first day back home, let's talk about some happy things! Just now, I have arranged teaching chairs for my two nephews, and they can come to your house tomorrow, so your second brother can rest assured!" Yun Xuanzhi stepped forward to support the old lady, led her to the dining table, and spoke with a smile.

Sure enough, when the old lady heard that he cared so much about Yun Xuanmo's child, the cold expression on her face softened a little. She nodded and sat down, letting Su Qing go for the time being!

Yun Xuanzhi naturally knew that the old lady had never been satisfied with Su Qing, but today Su Qing put aside his previous prejudices and came to pay his respects, which made Yun Xuanzhi very happy. Therefore, when the old lady found fault with him, Yun Xuanzhi obviously could not favor Su Qing, but he used his actions to implicitly express his feelings!

Several of the younger generation sat down one after another. The old lady looked around but didn't see Yun Ruoxue. Dissatisfaction rose in her heart again. She held the ivory chopsticks in her hand without moving. She glanced at Su Qing with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "Auntie Su, where is Ruoxue? The legitimate daughter of Qianmeng came to pay her respects early, but she, a concubine's daughter, is so arrogant! Do you want an old woman like me to invite her?"

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent. Su Qing was ridiculed in public, her face turning pale and blue. Her hands, hidden under her long sleeves, clenched into fists. Only then did she force herself to apologize with a shy smile, "Old lady, calm down! The second young lady made a mistake, and the master is making her kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment!"

Hearing this, the old lady slammed her chopsticks down on the table, making a sharp sound. The servants beside her were frightened. The old lady said sternly, "Kneeling? How can kneeling solve her mistakes? If you can't teach her well, you can let her stay with me from now on! A noble lady who grew up in Kyoto has learned the tricks of a foxy woman! The second son's daughter Yi Yi may not have reached the age of marriage yet, but she is much more stable and dignified!"

Su Qing was filled with anger when she heard the old lady talking about the Yun Xuanmo family all the time. When she heard the old lady compare Yun Ruoxue, a serious lady, with Yun Yiyi, a country girl, she was even more furious. The smile on her face gradually faded, and the hands in her sleeves couldn't help but loosen and clench. After repeating this several times, she barely suppressed the anger in her heart and lowered her head to listen to the old lady's scolding!

Except for Yun Xuanzhi, everyone in the room watched coldly as Su Qing was ridiculed by the old lady, and everyone was laughing in their hearts!

Yun Qianmeng stared at the tableware in front of her without looking away, her face was unusually calm, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at the moment!

Yun Xuanzhi felt that the old lady was acting like this on the first day she returned home, which was simply a slap in his face. But if he spoke up to help Su Qing at this time, he was afraid that it would provoke the old lady to retaliate even more severely in the future. Therefore, he turned his gaze to Yun Qianmeng who was opposite him and gave her a look!

Yun Qianmeng sighed inwardly, thinking she could get shot even when sitting. She could only maintain composure and said with a faint smile, "Grandma, stop talking! I'm hungry, and my two cousins ​​must be tired after traveling for so many days. Why don't we eat early and let them go back to rest? Otherwise, I won't be in the right mood to see you tomorrow!"

After hearing what Yun Qianmeng said, the old lady wanted to ridicule Su Qing, but when she saw the tiredness on the faces of her two precious grandchildren, she nodded and said, "After dinner, let's all go back and rest! And Meng girl, you've worked hard these days!"

Yun Qianmeng smiled and shook her head, saying sweetly, "It's not hard. This is what a granddaughter should do! I'm planning to leave the house tomorrow and bring back Tianfulou's Emerald Green Bean Cake for Grandma!"

Sure enough, when the old lady heard the name of the snack, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she became even more satisfied with Yun Qianmeng!

Early the next morning, Yun Qianmeng paid her respects to the old lady and left the Prime Minister's residence with Aunt Mi and others!

The carriage stopped at the door of Tianfulou. Yun Qianmeng put on her gauze hat and told the driver to go back home first and come back to pick her up at 3:00 p.m. Then she got off the carriage and walked into Tianfulou first!

"Miss, the carriage has left!" Mu Chun retracted her little head that was sticking out of the window and said mischievously!

Yun Qianmeng saw her mischievous appearance, and a faint smile appeared on her pretty face under the veil. She then nodded to Aunt Mi. Aunt Mi led them through the backyard of Tianfu Building with familiarity, and came to a relatively secluded alley. Finally, they stopped in front of a bungalow and knocked three times on the door frame. Immediately, a low voice came from inside asking, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Aunt Mi replied in a low voice. The person inside recognized her voice and immediately opened the door!

There stood a pretty girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old. When she saw Aunt Mi, she immediately bowed and said, "This servant greets Aunt Mi!"

"Mammy, are you feeling better today?" Mammy Mi nodded to her, then led Yun Qianmeng into the small courtyard, asking the girl as they walked!

"It's better now, but the doctor said that Mammy's illness has lasted too long, and I'm afraid it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!" The girl saw that Mammy Mi was so respectful to the woman walking in front of her. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she answered Mammy Mi's questions honestly!

"Go down and get busy!" Everyone came to the main house. Aunt Mi sent the girl away and pushed open the tightly closed wooden door!

Before entering the house, Yun Qianmeng instructed Mu Chun, "Tianfulou only sells fifty servings of Emerald Green Bean Cakes at noon. Muchun, go line up over there! We'll meet at Tianfulou at 3 p.m.!"

Mu Chun responded softly, bowed to Yun Qianmeng and left the courtyard!

Yun Qianmeng then turned her attention to the room in front of her, and was greeted by a strong smell of Chinese medicine mixed with the smell of herbs, which made the two people at the door frown!

"Cough cough cough..." At this moment, a violent coughing sound came from the room...
