Upon thinking of this, Madam Xu became excited; it must be true.
Thinking of this, I quickly went to find Madam Xu, as this matter needed to be carefully considered.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu was delighted and said with a smile, "It seems that the old lady still cares about these younger generations. I knew it! They are all her grandchildren, how could she really abandon them?"
They're all from the Xu family after all, and they're of one mind.
Madam Xu and Madam Xu both have sons, and they are both quite old now. Some prominent families in the capital naturally look down on them, but they also look down on those from humble backgrounds, which is why they have not yet gotten married.
Although the Xu family is now in decline, the plaque bestowed by the late emperor is still there, and the ancestral bestowal is still there. They look down on other impoverished families like themselves.
"Let's go take a look."
The two of them usually only made a few trips to the old lady's courtyard when the eldest and second eldest masters of the Xu family were around, and they wouldn't even glance at her normally. But today they came very early.
Madam Xu understood what the two were thinking, and immediately said, "Tell them not to ask, it's not the Duke's mansion."
The two were immediately unhappy when they heard that they were not going to the Duke's mansion. Where else could they go if not the Duke's mansion?
Madam Xu's expression suddenly changed, and she whispered, "This old lady, could it be that she knows Yue Niang has returned?"
Madam Xu's expression changed as well: "That can't be, we've never talked about this before, and not many people in the family know about it. How did the old lady find out?"
"No, we can't let Yue Niang come back. You saw it last time, those two are no pushovers. If they come back, we won't have a say in anything."
"They're just a family from the countryside. Our children's future is still uncertain. If another one comes along, the old lady's money will probably all go to Yue Niang in the future."
"Then what do we do?"
"Follow her and see where the old lady is going."
So, no sooner had the old lady stepped out of the mansion than the two of them followed behind her.
The Xu family's carriage went out onto the street first. The old lady Xu's maid bought some snacks on the street, and then the carriage continued its journey towards Chaoyang Street, where the Song family now lived.
Madam Xu and Madam Xu knew the location of the Duke's mansion, and when they saw the carriage heading in that direction, they were immediately relieved.
"It seems the old lady doesn't want us to know we're going to the Duke's mansion. What if things don't go well? Wouldn't we lose face?" Madam Xu said confidently.
The two followed the carriage all the way to the gate of a house on Chaoyang Street, where the carriage stopped.
The old nanny helped Madam Xu out of the carriage and then went to knock on the door.
At this time, only Old Mrs. Liu was at home in the Song family. When she came out and saw an old lady, she asked, "Who are you?"
Madam Xu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is this where Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan live?"
Grandma Liu didn't dare to answer, but instead asked, "Is there something you need?"
Madam Xu smiled and said, "I am from the Xu family. I've come to see Yue Niang."
Upon hearing the mention of the Xu family and glancing at the old lady before her, Old Mrs. Liu quickly understood.
He immediately opened the door and invited the two inside.
"Please come in."
Grandma Liu always thought about Liu Yuelan's biological mother and wanted to visit her when she came to the capital, but Liu Yuelan and Song Ning wouldn't allow it, so she never brought it up again.
I never expected them to come to my door like this.
Madam Xu wasn't one to put on airs; once inside the house, she curiously looked around.
Madam Xu and Madam Xu Er, standing outside, looked on with curiosity.
"I never knew the old lady knew this family."
"Who cares? They don't seem to be a powerful or influential family, but they're probably not poor either. They're about the same as us. As long as they're not the Song family, it's fine."
Madam Xu nodded: "What my sister-in-law said makes sense. When the old lady was young, she was a well-known figure in the capital. It's normal that she knew some people we don't know."
The two stopped following her there, feeling quite pleased with themselves, thinking that the old lady must have come out to visit the younger generation in her family.
Old Mrs. Liu was originally going to Xiangyun Tower to deliver a message to Liu Yuelan, but Old Mrs. Xu stopped her, saying she would come next time.
Around noon, Grandma Liu saw them to the door and said warmly, "I told them today that you must come again tomorrow."
"Hey, let's go back quickly."
As soon as Madam Xu got into the carriage, her eyes reddened.
Her daughter was indeed more capable than her sons, and her granddaughter was also more capable than her other grandchildren surnamed Xu.
The old nanny helped wipe away her tears: "Madam, please don't cry. Take care of yourself. Now that the eldest young lady is living in the capital, you can come often in the future."
Madam Xu nodded: "Yes, seeing that they are doing well makes me feel at ease."
"The young lady is a filial daughter; she would have been delighted to know you were coming today."
Madam Xu, however, did not think so. The Song family was doing well now, but she still had the Xu family behind her.
If she keeps coming here, the Xu family will come knocking sooner or later. Wouldn't that just cause trouble for our daughter?
Knowing that they are doing well is enough for her. She is old now and has no other wishes but to see her two daughters again before she dies.
The old woman knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "Madam, please don't think like that. Miss is a good girl. If she knew you thought like this, she would definitely be heartbroken."
"For so many years, Yue Niang has called that old lady Liu 'mother,' and I haven't paid any attention to her. It's really inappropriate for her to come and claim kinship now."
