"Smack!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yin accidentally knocked over the teacup beside her, and the pale yellow tea stains immediately soaked her sleeves.
The maidservant who was serving nearby quickly stepped forward to tidy it up.
Leaning against her pillows, Old Madam Hua hurriedly asked with concern, "How are you? Are you burned?"
Hua Yin snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head, "My granddaughter is fine."
Madam Hua was slightly relieved and said to the maid beside her, "Quickly accompany Miss to change her clothes."
"Yes." The maidservant quickly stepped forward and helped Huayin walk out.
Watching her granddaughter's slender figure walk away, Old Madam Hua sighed.
How could she not know what her granddaughter was thinking?
Coupled with her granddaughter's outburst after hearing the news of Xingxiu's upcoming wedding, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
A short while later, Huayin returned in a clean dress.
"Yinyin, come to your grandmother's side." Old Madam Hua beckoned to her.
Hua Yin did as she was told and went over.
Madam Hua squeezed her hand. "Are you upset to hear the news that your cousin is getting married?"
Hua Yin lowered her head, her face filled with sorrow, and said, "No, I'm happy, happy that my cousin has finally found the woman he loves..."
Madam Hua sighed and said kindly, "Don't force yourself in front of your grandmother. Just say what you really think."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yin's tears, which she had been holding back for so long, finally burst forth. She threw herself into the arms of Old Madam Hua, crying uncontrollably. "Grandmother, Yin Yin loves my cousin, she has loved him since she was little, but now he is going to marry someone else. What should Yin Yin do?"
Old Madam Hua stroked her hair tenderly. This granddaughter had been frail and sickly since birth. In addition, her parents had passed away early, and she herself had been bedridden for many years, so she could not take care of her much. She felt a great sense of indebtedness and guilt towards this granddaughter.
Moreover, she knows her health is poor and she won't live much longer. What will happen to her granddaughter when she's gone? Who will take care of her and protect her?
This has always been her biggest worry.
"Don't be afraid, Yinyin, don't cry. Grandma has a way to make your wish come true," she comforted lovingly.
"What can Grandmother do? My cousin is going to marry someone else." Huayin lifted her head from her arms, looking at her with teary eyes.
Old Madam Hua took a handkerchief and tenderly wiped away the tears on her face. She said confidently, "Your cousin respects me quite a bit. For you, I'm willing to risk my reputation to secure your happiness for the rest of your life. But this matter shouldn't be rushed. Please be patient for now, and I'll ask him for help after your cousin's wedding."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yin asked in confusion, "Why do we have to wait until after my cousin's wedding?"
Madam Hua did not explain immediately. Instead, she dismissed all the servants in the room before saying, "Silly child, your cousin and Rong Qingqing are currently deeply in love. If I were to ask him for help now, he would definitely not agree. Men are always like that. Before they get a woman, they will do anything for her, but once they get her, that's it, and they will no longer cherish her."
Moreover, your cousin is now the emperor, destined to have many concubines. He can't possibly stay with only one woman for his entire life. Once the novelty of Rong Qingqing wears off, he'll get bored. At that point, if I bring up the matter of him taking you as a concubine, he will definitely agree.”
Looking at her granddaughter's pretty face, Madam Hua said with considerable confidence.
