By the time Tang Chuyao and Huang Xiaoyu returned to Luoyingyuan, it was already the Si time (equivalent to around ten o'clock in the morning).
Du Juan came to help Tang Chuyao wash and dress with a worried look on her face. Tang Chuyao naturally knew Du Juan's worries. She was afraid that the old lady would blame her.
Patting Du Juan's cheeks, Tang Chuyao shook his head to signal her not to worry.
Du Juan then smiled. She found that the young lady had changed. She was no longer as submissive as before and always put Wen Yongbo's mansion first in everything.
Life is not easy for women. If they try to please others all the time, it will only make things more difficult for them!
Miss, this is very good!
Miss, you should have considered yourself in everything a long time ago!
With such a powerful maternal family as the Great General who guards the country, and an aunt named Imperial Concubine who loves her in the palace, how can this girl not live a smooth life?
"Miss, are we still going to Rongjintang?" Du Juan was a little undecided.
"Go, why not?"
"Even if you don't go, the old woman will ask someone to invite you!"
Tang Chuyao was not very happy and asked Du Juan to have breakfast first. She and her senior sister were almost starving to death!
Du Juan immediately ran to the kitchen...
After a while, Dujuan came back with an angry face.
"Miss, it is the servant who is useless!"
Dujuan told the situation. When she went to the kitchen, the cook was very perfunctory and said that breakfast time had passed and there would be no breakfast.
Dujuan saw that there was a chicken stewing in the pot, steam coming out of the steamer, and bubbling sounds coming out of the iron pot. She was unwilling to accept the result and wanted to take the food.
The cook immediately said with a stern face, "These are all for the second young lady! If the young lady wants to eat, come early tomorrow!"
Before, Tang Chuyao always got up early and went to Rongjin Hall to serve the old lady for meals, so she had never experienced such a thing!
She had been unconscious since she fell into the water. Not only did her scumbag father and grandmother not visit her, but when the old woman heard that she had woken up, she immediately asked her to go back and take care of her!
Tang Chuyao curled the corners of her lips and said, "Then forget about eating!"
So he turned around and whispered something in Huang Xiaoyu's ear. Huang Xiaoyu's eyes immediately lit up, and he gave Tang Chuyao a thumbs up, then flew away with a smile...
At this time, Aunt Zhao came and looked at Tang Chuyao with a frown, "Young Miss, you are so arrogant!"
"Now you don't even listen to the old lady?"
Nanny Zhao was the old lady's maid who came with her as a dowry, and she had always been loyal to her.
When Tang Chuyao saw Aunt Zhao, she immediately leaned against Du Juan and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Cough, cough, cough, cough."
"Please ask Madam Zhao to go and tell Grandmother, ahem...
I'll pack up and go right over, cough cough cough..."
Madam Zhao took a few steps back in disdain, "I will take my leave now!"
After a while, Huang Xiaoyu came back with a food box in his hand.
The four of them ate happily together. Du Juan and her mother Ying He didn't want to sit at the table and eat with the young lady and the others, but the young lady insisted that they eat together, otherwise she wouldn't eat, so they sat down and had their meal with the young lady and the senior sister.
"Junior sister, this is the only good thing about the capital!"
“The food at Wei Ji Xuan is really delicious!”
Huang Xiaoyu's mouth was full of oil. Tang Chuyao had lost her appetite, but she saw her senior sister eating happily. Maybe it was because she had consumed a lot of energy from practicing martial arts this morning. The food was more delicious than usual! She also ate more than usual.
After eating and drinking, Tang Chuyao slowly took Du Juan to Rong Jintang.
The old lady and others in Rongjin Hall turned green in the face, and no one in the mansion dared to disobey her!
Aunt Mei, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at Tang Chuyao with a worried look on her face.
Tang Chuying had a look of gloating, but she thought she hid it well, but Tang Chuyao still caught her expression for a moment.
Tang Chuyao and Du Juan bowed to the old lady, then covered their hands with handkerchiefs and looked at her with a wronged look on their faces.
"Grandma, if Yaoyao is not welcome in the mansion, Yaoyao will leave now!"
After saying this, she covered her eyes with a handkerchief. Since she was wearing a veil, no one could see her expression clearly.
It was the onion juice on the handkerchief that was so spicy that it made her tears flow.
Dujuan is such an honest child!
Old Madam Mei frowned and asked impatiently, "What do you mean?"
Du Juan took over and said, "Reporting to the old lady, the eldest lady just woke up yesterday after falling into the water. She is very weak, but the young lady feels that her falling into the water this time is both a disaster and a blessing!"
The old lady looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Du Juan did not explain but talked about another matter, "When the young lady woke up yesterday morning, she asked me to take her to the temple to pray for the old lady. The young lady said that she had a dream before she fell into the water. In the dream, the old lady was suffering from a serious illness. The young lady prayed in the dream that these disasters would fall on her and not on the old lady!"
"She has prevented this disaster, so I pray to the Bodhisattva to bless the old lady with a long life, free from illness and disaster!"
After saying that, Dujuan took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao took the sachet and saw the word "缘" embroidered on it.
The old lady looked at the sachet and realized that it was indeed the sachet she had obtained from the White Horse Temple!
I heard that the sachets in the White Horse Temple are very hard to come by. It requires not only sincerity but also affinity with Buddha!
The old lady's eyes softened when she looked at Tang Chuyao, and she smiled sincerely, "You are so thoughtful!"
Then he asked, "Then why are you crying?"
Du Juan said, "Madam, since the young lady doesn't want to talk about it, I will tell you!"
"Last night, the young lady was copying scriptures until very late. She was weak to begin with, and she caught a cold this morning and was unable to get up."
"After the young lady got up, she immediately wanted to rush to Rongjin Pavilion to serve the old lady. It was because I was afraid that the young lady could not hold on that I went to the kitchen to ask for some food."
"I know it's past breakfast time, but there's still chicken stewing in the kitchen pot, and there's food in the steamer and iron pot. Not only did Aunt Li not give me food, she also said..."
The old lady looked unhappy at the moment. She knew that Aunt Li in the kitchen was Aunt Mei's person.
These people in the 뎃놇 mansion made a lot of money from purchasing, but because of Aunt Mei, she turned a blind eye!
"What did she say? Just tell me!"
Du Juan continued, "Mrs. Li said that the mansion only recognizes the second young lady, and these are only for the second young lady. What kind of young lady is our young lady!"
After Du Juan finished speaking, the entire Rongjin Hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Until Tang Chuying pointed at Du Juan with an angry look on her face and said, "You are talking nonsense!"
"How could Aunt Li say these things?"
Du Juan was not afraid at all and replied, "Second Miss, I did not lie!"
Tang Chuyao was not surprised by Tang Chuying's reaction. In her previous life, this mother and daughter often said this about her behind her back, causing the servants in the entire mansion to not take her, a legitimate daughter, seriously at all!
So Du Juan did not lie, Tang Chuyao was furious, she was angry because of shame!
“Bang!”
Mei slammed the teacup in her pocket onto the table.
The look he gave Aunt Mei and Tang Chuyao also grew a little colder.
