The old lady saw that her belly was slightly bulging, so she would not make things difficult for her. Even though she was Song's daughter, she was still her own granddaughter.
It must have been difficult for you to live outside these years. Whenever the old lady saw people, she felt doting on them. This feeling was different from that towards Gu Yuanfang.
The old lady beckoned Linlang over and said, "Come closer, let grandma see."
Linlang followed her instructions and walked over, calling out gently, "Grandma."
The old lady reached out and took Linlang's hand, looking at her belly, "I'm sorry for the hardship you've endured. Please sit down."
She took the brocade box from Nanny Wu and took out a piece of top-quality jade from it. "The weather is getting colder. Take this warm jade."
When Su Nanting saw it, his eyes were curved with joy. "Why don't you thank your grandmother quickly? This is the treasure your grandmother brought as a dowry. We rarely see it. Your grandmother really loves you and gave it to you."
Linlang caught the warm jade and found it was indeed warm. She didn't expect the old lady to be so kind to her. She quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandma. The warm jade is so precious..."
"Just keep it. I have another piece here. When your eldest brother gets married, I'll give it to your eldest grandson."
The old lady felt guilty for what she had done before, but she would never apologize to a junior even if she was beaten to death. So, when preparing the gift, she took out the warm jade that was kept in the bottom of the box.
Linlang thanked the old lady, accepted the warm jade, and presented the gift she had prepared. "Grandma, this is Yangrong Pills, which are perfect for nourishing the body at this time of year. Please don't dislike it."
"Oh, this is a great stuff. I asked Aunt Wu to go to Renhe Medical Clinic many times to buy it but couldn't find it. The reservation is booked until next month."
The old lady was so excited that she pretended to be calm but failed. She took the box from Linlang's hand. Two bottles, worth several hundred taels. "You are so thoughtful."
"As long as grandma likes it." There are several bottles at home. Linlang decided to give her one bottle every month in the future, as long as she is happy.
The old lady was more and more fond of Linlang. They were lucky to have a miracle doctor in their family. The old lady had not yet enjoyed enough of her wealth and splendor, and she was particularly careful about her life.
Linlang's gift touched her heart, and the smile on her face became even more loving.
Su Nanting gently pulled Song's sleeve from behind and said, "Look at our daughter. She makes the old lady so happy. She is an excellent girl. You are worrying for nothing."
Song glanced at him. It seemed that it was not him who was worried about his daughter and ran into the palace to ask for the imperial edict.
Seeing that her daughter and the old lady got along well, Mrs. Song completely put her worries to rest. It turned out that her granddaughter was different, and the old lady accepted her very quickly.
However, I have to thank the emperor for his decree and Su Nanting for his repeated guidance. I also have to thank Linlang for her generosity. What the old lady did before would make people hate her for a lifetime.
The reason why Linlang forgave him was because she was Su Nanting's mother and she didn't want the family to be embarrassed, to be laughed at by outsiders, and to make Su Nanting embarrassed.
The old lady asked Linlang to sit down. "You can't be too tired when you're pregnant. You've been seeing patients all day. It must be very tiring. Sit down and rest quickly."
She looked more and more like a good grandmother. Su Nanting nodded with satisfaction.
Then, it was Amu who stepped forward and saluted, "Grandson-in-law Xiao Yushu greets grandmother. I pay my respects to you."
The old lady looked him up and down. He was a handsome man, worthy of Linlang, but his family background was a bit low. She would see how he performed in the imperial examination.
"No need for gifts." The old lady presented the four treasures of the study, all of which were famous products and were suitable gifts.
Amu respectfully accepted the gift and said, "Thank you, Grandma."
"Sit down and talk."
"Yes." Amu stepped aside and sat next to Linlang. The couple looked at each other. Linlang raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay."
Amu smiled gently, hoping everything would go well.
Next, Rong Yi, Mo'er and Xiao Yujian came forward to pay their respects to the old lady. The old lady showed some concern for Rong Yi and asked about the situation at home. Rong Yi answered all the questions one by one. The old lady also prepared a gift for them.
However, when she saw Xiao Yujian, the old lady asked doubtfully, "The second son of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion and his grandson-in-law are from the same family, right? They look quite similar."
After all, the names are similar, except for the last character. They look so similar that it cannot but attract attention.
Su Nanting explained, "They look somewhat similar, but they are not from the same family."
Things are similar, people are similar. The old lady didn't think about it any more and asked about Xiao Yujian's health, "Should be feeling better now?"
"Thank you for your concern, Madam. Ajian's condition has improved under the treatment of Doctor Rong." Xiao Yujian answered politely. His sister-in-law's medical skills were the best.
"That's good." Thinking that the young master of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was gone and only the sickly second young master was left, the old lady felt quite sympathetic towards the father and son, and especially towards Xiao Yujian.
Just as he finished speaking, the housekeeper came to report, "Old Madam, Marquis's wife, Duke Dingguo has personally delivered a gift, and it's almost at the door."
Su Nanting quickly stood up and went out to greet them with his three sons.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the old chief priest and Zhao Yuning came with gifts, and also came Qin Jiajie and his son, congratulating Su Nanting on finding the pearl and being named the Princess of Gospel.
Li Ping, Liu Manting and Hu Shan came to the Anchang Marquis' Mansion with their parents to congratulate Su Nanting and Song, and congratulate Linlang on her title of County Princess.
When other officials in the court saw so many people coming to congratulate, they felt it would be inappropriate to leave them out, so they prepared gifts and brought their wives and daughters to congratulate.
Besides, the four young masters of the Su family have not yet engaged. After they get to know each other better, maybe they can become relatives.
Su Nanting didn't expect so many people to come, so he quickly sent someone in to notify the old lady and Mrs. Song to come out and greet the guests.
With so many guests coming at once, we have to prepare a banquet to entertain them. Even though it is still early, it will be too late after we get ready.
Mrs. Song called over Madam Li and said, "It looks like there are fifteen or sixteen tables. If you book eighteen, it won't be enough. It's still in time to go to the restaurant and order the dishes. They have more people than they need to prepare."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Nanny Li went there in a hurry.
After Song arranged everything, she looked back at the old lady, who was chatting happily with the ladies.
The old lady proudly introduced Linlang to them, "My granddaughter suffered a lot outside, but fortunately, the Rong family who adopted her treated her very well and loved her like their own daughter. They taught her to read and write, and even taught her medical skills."
"That's a really good family. The Lady of Gospel is a blessed one."
The other ladies echoed, "Yes, yes."
The old lady was very proud of it. She talked about Linlang with the ladies and she was really eloquent. After being excluded for so many years, she finally got to hold her head high at this moment.
Who wouldn't want to meet a miracle doctor? Previously, they were hesitant, but now they can openly make friends. The ladies followed the old lady's words and praised Linlang to the point that she was the best in the world.
Linlang smiled politely. It was her first time dealing with so many ladies and her face was almost frozen.
