Chapter 403: Self-knowledge
A servant came to answer the door. Seeing that it was Zhou Ruoyi, he bowed and saluted, "Hello, Master Zhou. I wonder what brings you here?"
"I have something I want to talk to Shopkeeper Yun about. Please let me know." Zhou Ruoyi bowed.
"Master Zhou, please follow me."
Because of the relationship between the Yun family and the Zhou family, the subordinates did not dare to be negligent. They sent someone to quickly inform Yun Yongnian while leading Zhou Ruoyi inside.
The subordinates had already reported the matter, and the servant led Zhou Ruoyi directly into the yard.
"Yier is here." Yun Yongnian greeted him at the door, his thin face full of smiles. He pulled Yier to sit at the table, "Why are you here today, Yier?"
"I heard from my mother and grandmother that Shopkeeper Yun was ill. I have always wanted to visit Shopkeeper Yun, but I never had the chance. I came to see Shopkeeper Yun today."
Zhou Ruoyi sat opposite Yun Yongnian like a little adult, and looked at him seriously and said, "Besides, there is one more thing I want to discuss with Shopkeeper Yun."
After saying that, Zhou Ruoyi looked up at the servants serving in the room.
Yun Yongnian understood and said, "You all should go out."
The servant put the tea and cakes on the table, then left and closed the door.
Seeing Zhou Ruoyi's face tense, full of thoughts, and seemingly making an extremely difficult decision, Yun Yongnian's heart skipped a beat.
Yes or no……
Yun Yongnian gritted his teeth and asked tentatively after a while, "What do you want to tell me, Yi'er? Why do you look so serious?"
Zhou Ruoyi looked at Yun Yongnian without looking away, "You want to marry my mother?"
The question is very direct.
As expected, I know it.
Yun Yongnian pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, "Yier..."
Afterwards, he was unable to utter any more words. He simply lowered his head, not daring even to look at Zhou Ruoyi, and clutched his sleeves awkwardly.
"Are you sincere in treating my mother well?" Zhou Ruoyi asked again.
"The world can bear witness to my feelings for her." Yun Yongnian raised his head hastily and promised Zhou Ruoyi, "In this life, she is the only one I will never marry, and she is the only one in my heart!"
"My mother has been a widow for many years. If she really wants to remarry, there will be many complications. It is not something that can be solved by just a sincere word from Manager Yun. What plans does Manager Yun have?" Zhou Ruoyi asked.
You couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry in his voice, but his eyes were cold, and even though he had the face of a child, it was enough to make people feel scared.
Especially at this moment, Yun Yongnian felt guilty towards Zhou Ruoyi, and he lowered his body unconsciously. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I know that you are worried whether she will still care about the Zhou family after marrying into the Yun family. You are even more worried that if she gives birth to a child for the Yun family in the future, she will ignore the Zhou family and you and support the Yun family."
"Everyone is worried about this matter. Even if I swear now, I guess no one will believe it. But in front of you, I still have to say what I should say."
Yun Yongnian looked at Zhou Ruoyi with red eyes, his voice trembling a little, "If I can be with her, I don't care about offspring, let alone family property. I will treat you as my own child and will never let her have any embarrassment."
"A man should be upright and make sure his words are kept. Otherwise, I will die a miserable death and go to hell forever without reincarnation!"
Zhou Ruoyi nodded slightly, his eyes, which had been dazed and dull, turned around, and his expression relaxed a lot. After a while, he said, "Since you said so, then I believe you."
"But even if you are willing to promise, you still have to wait another two years." Zhou Ruoyi said, "After another two years, I will be older, learn how to take care of the household, and slowly support this business."
Yun Yongnian was slightly stunned.
In other words, Zhou Ruoyi agreed to this? Yun Yongnian was surprised and delighted, and even more incredulous, "Yier, you..."
“We have to wait another two years.”
Zhou Ruoyi seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be telling Zhou Yongnian, "Wait until I grow up a little bit, wait until I can take charge of the family, then my mother can marry with peace of mind, and my grandmother can be completely relieved, then this matter can be accomplished naturally."
"Yes, I understand."
Yun Yongnian cried with joy and responded repeatedly, "I've got it down. I know it. I understand it."
"Thank you Yier, thank you Yier..." - After Su Yujin arrived in the capital, she still temporarily lived in the He family's Meixiangyuan.
But this time when she moved in, Su Yujin found that the whole yard was more exquisite than before.
In addition to the things she used on a daily basis, she also added many decorative items and utensils. Even the open space in the yard was specially reclaimed to grow some seasonal vegetables.
It can be said that he was quite attentive to her.
Su Yujin felt very warm in her heart. She went to thank Madam He and gave her the calming incense that Shopkeeper Lou had given her earlier and some delicious snacks that she had made herself.
Madam He was extremely happy, holding Su Yujin's hand and praising her, "Yujin is still thinking about an old woman like me, and she is really filial."
Then he glanced at He Chengye and the others, "Look at you guys, you're busy with this and that all day long, and you don't even take an old woman like me seriously!"
"Mother..." He Chengye felt extremely aggrieved and wanted to argue.
But before he could say it, he was interrupted by Madam He, "What? Am I wrong?"
"Yes, you guys do come every morning and evening to pay respects to each other, but every day you just go through the situation. How can you be as careful and thoughtful as Yu Jin?"
"I……"
Seeing that He Chengye wanted to say something, He Yanxiu quickly touched him and gave him a wink.
My grandmother was obviously trying to praise Lord Ping'an and suggested that my father should remain silent at this time, otherwise he might end up hurting himself...
No one knows a son better than his father. Although He Yanxiu did not say anything, his eyes were full of deep meaning. He Chengye also knew what he meant and nodded silently.
However, he looked at Madam He unwillingly.
After all, he is your biological son...
Madam He didn't look at He Chengye's aggrieved face, but looked at He Yanxiu instead, "And you, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, you are not much better!"
He Yanxiu, "..."
How did it come to him?
He Yanxiu also had a look of grievance on his face, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when He Chengye next to him reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Be patient! In your grandmother's eyes, there is only Ping'an County Lady. You must clearly understand your current position.
It is important for people to know themselves... - After resting in Meixiang Garden for two days and chatting with Old Madam He for two days, Su Yujin chose a sunny day to go out.
We went to Juweizhai first.
They had just finished breakfast and Juweizhai had not yet opened for business, but the waiters had already started busy cleaning, especially in the backyard, preparing various ingredients for lunch.
Su Yujin smiled when she saw this, "I'm looking at the account book, but you don't need to look at it. Just look at the various things piled up like a small mountain, and you can tell how the business of Juweizhai is doing."
Second Master, you need to understand your current status!
