Yanrong hasn't considered the issue carefully enough.

There are many reasons to get rid of Mother Tao with a legitimate reason.

Eleventh Lady smiled and sent Yanrong away.

Amber came over to persuade: "Madam, what Yanrong said makes sense..."

"It's not as serious as she said." Eleventh Lady interrupted her with a smile, "If you want to send Mother Tao away, there are many ways." At this point, she raised her eyebrows, "There are some people who I am always worried about. But even a tiger has its naps, and I can't always watch it every day. Even if Mother Tao has a thousand faults, her heart to protect Zhun Ge is not wrong. I took advantage of the situation and kept her because I was afraid that I would be careless when taking care of Zhun Ge, and she could make up for it by watching from the side!" After saying that, her face became serious, "However, Mother Tao always thinks that I have taken the position of the eldest sister and enjoyed the blessings that should have been enjoyed by the eldest sister. Now that I am pregnant again, I am afraid that she is even more uneasy. You have to pay more attention to her. Although I never thought that Zhun Ge would like me as a mother, I don't want to have a tense relationship between the two of us."

Amber agreed and went back to the house. She was thinking about how to find out what Mother Tao had said to Xu Sizhun when Mother Du came to visit.

She hurriedly invited Mother Du to sit on the kang by the window in the room, and entertained her with the West Lake Longjing tea that Eleventh Lady had recommended.

Mother Du looked around the small room. It was clean and tidy, with a royal blue curtain that was neither new nor worn, a bright red quilt, a goose yellow pillow, and a small pot of asparagus fern on the windowsill, which looked generous and decent.

She nodded secretly and whispered the purpose of her visit: "...After returning from the temple, the fourth young master went to the old house where the fourth lady lived to burn incense. When he came back, he actually told me that the fourth lady likes flowers and spent a lot of effort to let Ji Ting's wife grow some rare flowers in the greenhouse in the back garden. It's fine for me to keep them for fun. Giving them away everywhere is afraid that it will arouse jealousy and backfire, and people will say that our family is arrogant and extravagant."

Mother Du is the most intimate and capable person around the Taifu. Sometimes, she represents the Taifu.

Amber was shocked and said hurriedly, "Please explain clearly, Madam Du. Although our lady likes flowers and plants, she doesn't have the ability of the Queen Mother Zetian to make all the flowers bloom. It's just that we have a greenhouse at home and Ji Ting's wife is so kind and skillful that the flowering period is advanced or delayed a few days. As for sending gifts to others, except for the Gan family's wife, the Lin family's grandmother, and the Yongchang Marquis's wife Huang, there is no one else to send gifts. These ladies are either relatives or old friends who have gone through hardships together..."

Seeing Amber getting anxious, Madam Du knew that she had misunderstood her meaning, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Amber. Everyone in the mansion knows what kind of person the Fourth Madam is. It's not that if someone says something bad, it's bad, and if someone says something good, it's good. Telling these things to Miss Amber is also the intention of our Madam."

When Amber heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "Please give me your orders, Mom!"

Her respectful attitude made Madam Du feel as comfortable as if she were drinking iced mung bean water in June. Her voice became softer. "What our Madam meant is that the Fourth Young Master is young and has always ignored these trivial matters. Why is he suddenly concerned about these things? Let the young lady tell Madam that some things need to be investigated thoroughly. Otherwise, those who like to gossip will instigate and corrupt the good young master."

Amber's expression froze when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, mom. I will definitely pass on this message."

Mother Du nodded slightly. Seeing that the serious matters had been discussed, she asked Amber, "I heard that your mother and father are still at the farm in Yuhang. Why didn't you tell Madam to take her over to take care of her in her old age?"

Amber smiled and said, "They are used to living in Jiangnan. They are old neighbors around them. Although I am not around, they still talk and laugh happily."

"Then you will end up in Yanjing!"

Amber blushed and said, "I am here to serve my wife. Wherever my wife is, I will be there."

Mother Du smiled and nodded slightly, as if she was very satisfied with what she said. She chatted a few more words and then stood up to leave.

Although Amber felt that what Mother Du asked was a little strange, she was determined to convey the lady's intention to Eleventh Lady, so she didn't bother to think about it and hurried to Eleventh Lady.

Eleventh Lady frowned slightly and asked Amber, "Where is Brother Zhun?"

Amber whispered, "In the Fifth Young Master's room."

Xu Sizhun was very confused.

When his mother died, she repeatedly told him that Mother Tao was the person she trusted the most and that he should listen to her in the future. She also asked him to swear that he would never go against her instructions. But he listened to Mother Tao and told Mother Du about his mother sending flowers. Mother Du smiled and said to him: Sending flowers is a trivial matter. The royal family has its own magnanimity and will not blame the Yongping Marquis's Mansion for such a thing. He thought of the words of the lady, "Great people usually lose the big picture because of the small things", and argued: "A thousand-mile long embankment is collapsed by an ant hole. The smaller the matter, the more attention should be paid."

Mother Du laughed and praised him, "Our fourth young master has learned a lot under Mr. Zhao, and knows everything. I will tell the dowager about this matter, and let her tell the fourth lady not to send flowers to others again." After that, she asked the little maid to lead him back to the house, and she called the housekeeper who was waiting under the eaves in, "The dowager is only helping the fourth lady to manage the household affairs temporarily. For big things like where to use the fabric for Xia Shang, I think it's better to inform the fourth lady..." She seemed a little unimpressed by what he said.

Xu Sizhun was a little disappointed and wanted to ask Xu Sijian. But Xu Sijian went to the outer courtyard with Xu Siqin right after school. Xu Sijian's servant said that Xu Sijian's maternal family moved out of the Zhongqin Marquis's mansion and bought a house outside, so his grandmother could entertain guests at home at will. Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian had not been in Yanjing for two years, and his grandmother missed them very much. She often sent people to invite him and Xu Siqin to dinner, or cousins ​​invited them to go out and play, so they were very busy.

Xu Sizun couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Xu Sijie asked Xu Sizhun: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, don't be sad. Since third brother doesn't want to play with you, I will play with you." Then he asked Xier to get a centipede kite: "...I'll give this to you."

Spring came, and Shiyi Niang invited someone to come to her house to make kites for the two brothers, and asked them to learn how to make kites. To show off his skills, the craftsman brought a centipede kite into the house. Xu Sizhun found it strange, but Xu Sijie also liked it, so he gave it to Xu Sijie. Unexpectedly, Xu Sijie gave the kite to him again.

He was somewhat touched, and imitated Shiyi Niang and touched Xu Sijie's head: "You keep it! We can release it together when the time comes!"

Xu Sijie was still a little reluctant, but when he saw that Xu Sizhun didn't want it, he breathed a sigh of relief and happily let Xier take it, saying, "Then don't be angry, brother. Let's go fly a kite!"

Xu Sizhun looked at his expectant eyes, and felt excited. He felt that Jie Ge was the best person in the world for him. He told him about Shiyi Niang sending flowers: "...I am a little worried. So I want to talk to my mother about this!"

Xu Sijie listened to him quietly, and when he finished speaking, he nodded seriously: "Then Fourth Brother, please talk to Mother!"

"But I'm a junior, is it appropriate to say that?"

"Then don't say it!" Xu Sijie also agreed after hearing it.

Xu Sizhun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hey, should we say it or not?"

Xu Sijie tilted his head and thought for a long time, blinking his big phoenix eyes, and said solemnly: "I will listen to Fourth Brother!"

It's like saying nothing.

Seeing his innocent and carefree look, Xu Sizhun couldn't help but sigh in frustration, thinking that it would be great if Xu Sijian was here. But he also felt that even if Xu Sijian was here, he might not be able to understand his conflicting feelings, and he felt even more confused.

When he heard that Eleventh Lady was calling him, he went to her somewhat displeased.

The sunshine in late spring is bright and brilliant, warming people's hearts.

Eleventh Lady and Xu Sizhun sat on the beauty's back under the flower stand to bask in the sun, with mottled shadows falling on them.

"Brother Zhun, Mother Du told me all your worries." She smiled at him and said straight to the point, "Thank you for reminding me."

In the sunlight, Shiyi Niang's eyes were frank and sincere. Xu Sizun's face suddenly turned red.

"No, you're welcome!" He lowered his head in embarrassment. "I, I... Mr. Zhao said that I am the son of Yongping Marquis and I have to take care of my grandmother, mother, brother, sister and younger brothers and sisters in the future."

Eleventh Lady held Xu Sizun in her arms: "Brother Zhun is a good prince!" She was relieved and happy.

Xu Sizhun raised his head, his eyes were as bright as the morning star, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Sending flowers is indeed not a safe thing to do." Eleventh Lady spoke to him carefully and in private, "However, the ladies I sent flowers to are all very good friends. For example, Madam Gan is not only your third aunt's elder, but also the one who sponsored me when I came of age. Moreover, she has a very good personal relationship with us, just like you and Jian'er..."

Xu Sizhun listened and nodded slightly.

"...In addition, there is Grandma Lin, your eldest brother-in-law's aunt, and Madam Huang. She and Madam Huang are close friends." Eleventh Lady smiled and said, "Because I know these people very well, I know they won't gossip. That's why I dare to give these flowers to them."

Xu Sizhun smiled embarrassedly.

"I, I wronged my mother!"

"But Zhun brother can think of keeping a low profile and thinking that someone might use this as a handle to criticize our family. He already has some of the generosity of a prince." Eleventh Lady smiled and held Xu Sizhun's arm tightly. "I don't know how happy I am if I know this. I can rest assured and let Zhun brother take care of me in the future."

Zhun Ge smiled, and the gloom of the past two days was swept away.

* * * * * *

After seeing Zhun Ge off, Shiyi Niang asked Amber to help find a copy of "Youth Education". She folded a corner of the page with the human seal on it and asked Amber to give it to Mr. Zhao.

"This..." Amber looked at Eleventh Lady in confusion.

"Just send it over." Eleventh Lady said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao is a smart man, he will naturally understand the reason."

Amber knelt down and said "yes", and gave the book to Mr. Zhao.
