"Old lady!"
Yang Zhao interrupted Madam Shen and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid my grandson's wife is powerless to handle the housekeeping matters now."
Old Madam Shen frowned: "Why do you say that? I see that your health has improved a lot, so why do you feel powerless? Are you still blaming Grandmother?"
"How dare the granddaughter-in-law blame her grandmother!" Yang Zhao looked terrified.
Then she bit her lip, grabbed the old lady's hand, and put it under her cloak and into her lower back. "Old lady, you can feel it, granddaughter-in-law... I'm sweating profusely now because of the pain."
Old Madam Shen was surprised because her palm was wet.
At this time, Old Lady Shen also noticed that there was actually a thin layer of sweat on Yang Zhao's forehead. Because he had put on makeup on his face, there was nothing unusual about it. However, Yang Zhao never liked makeup, but he put on makeup today.
It can be seen that this girl is really enduring the pain!!
"You kid, this ancestor worship is a tedious matter. You are still injured now. Even if you don't go, others can't say anything to you!" If she doesn't take good care of her body, how can she support the Shen family? That idiot Yin is totally useless.
"Today is Xuan'er's first ancestral worship after being adopted. As his mother, I have to get up and support him, even if I have to crawl. Otherwise, Xuan'er will definitely be looked down upon by others. He is my only son from now on, and how can I, his granddaughter-in-law, bear to let him suffer any grievances!"
"Fortunately, although ancestor worship is tedious, my grandson's wife finally endured it."
"It's just... now that my granddaughter-in-law is sitting down beside your bed, old lady, I'm afraid I can't get up by myself. I'll probably have to call two maids in to help me back." Yang Zhao said with a helpless smile.
"However, the old lady and my husband should not tell Xuan'er about this. Although the child is young, he is actually a very sensible and filial child. Don't let him worry about it."
Every word he spoke was a defense of Xuan Ge'er.
Anyone could see that she was completely devoted to her son Xuan Ge'er.
Chen Li looked at Yang Zhao, feeling unspeakable for a moment, because she seemed to have never mentioned him at all from beginning to end, and had not even laid eyes on him.
It's like he doesn't exist!
But seeing how much she liked Xuan Ge'er, he was also relieved in his heart, "A Zhao, let Ya'er see you later. Her medical skills are very good."
"No need, my husband. My waist is just injured. I just need to stay in bed and recuperate. It's nothing serious. Let Miss Ya'er see Grandmother. Grandmother's health is the most important thing."
"Old lady, you should have a good rest first. I have to go back quickly before Brother Xuan comes back. Please forgive me for not being able to get up and greet you." She called Dong Shuang and the maid, and hurried away with their support.
"Mother!"
Under the eaves at the corner, Xuan Ge'er watched the maid helping Yang Zhao away, his heart filled with warmth and emotion. He unconsciously called out "mother", but in return he felt a sudden pain in his hand.
He subconsciously cried out in pain: "It hurts!"
Wei Yaer's face looked extremely ugly, but she quickly covered Xuan Ge'er's mouth, then pulled him away from the corner in a hurry.
They all heard what Yang Zhao said just now while hiding in the corner. Wei Yaer never dreamed that she would hear Yang Zhao defending Xuan Ge'er in such a way. Coupled with Xuan Ge'er's reaction, she felt a little panicked.
"Miss, where did you go just now? I have already got the medicine for you." Nanny Liu frowned and looked at Wei Yaer who came in from outside. Just now, Wei Yaer insisted that she go and get the medicine for her personally, so she sent her away for a while.
Wei Yaer was in no mood to deal with it: "Madame Liu, please go out. I need to apply medicine to Xuan'er."
Aunt Liu wanted to say something.
Wei Yaer shouted impatiently: "Get out!"
Madam Liu's face darkened instantly, what a little slave! But in the end she still turned away and went back to the main house to find the old lady.
"Mom, my hand hurts!" Xuan Ge'er couldn't help but cry out in pain when he saw that there was no one around.
"Xuan brother." Wei Yaer squatted down and looked at him with tears in her eyes; "Are you going to forget mother?"
"Mom, I don't have any."
"But in the past half month, you've become increasingly cold towards Mother. On the contrary, you've been incredibly affectionate towards Yang Zhao, calling her "Mother" left and right. How long has it been since you've properly spoken to Mother? How long has it been since you even called her "Mother"?"
"Mom, it was my grandmother who said that I should try to please my mother these days. She is my biological mother, and I will have to rely on her father and brothers to pave the way for me in the future." In fact, my grandmother said a lot, the most important of which was that I should not learn from my mother's short-sightedness.
But he didn't say this.
He didn't feel it at first, but today, for the first time, he felt dissatisfied with his biological mother.
What she did in front of his stepmother before almost made her realize something was wrong. Even though he was crying out in pain just now, she refused to let go and didn't care about his feelings at all.
The legal mother is different.
His stepmother always put him first, caring for him and loving him. Today, she even stood up to support him, regardless of her own health. But his beloved mother only made things worse...
On the way back to Qinyuan.
Yang Zhao's heavy steps slowed down a bit, but he still let Dong Shuang support him. She looked at the courtyard full of joy. New window grilles, spring couplets and lanterns could be seen all around. The maids and old women passing by were all wearing new clothes, with happy faces.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up a little, and she said to Dong Shuang, "Today is New Year's Eve, it's time for everyone to have some fun. Are the firecrackers and fireworks ready?"
"Everything is ready and placed in the outer warehouse."
"Then have someone tell my mother-in-law that the Shen family should set off more firecrackers and fireworks to get rid of bad luck. And remember to send more to each house and courtyard. The children will like them."
"yes."
"Madam, you're still wet. Go back and change your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold."
"Well! Let's go back. It's time to go back and rest up. We still have to be busy later." Yang Zhao said with a smile.
Tonight.
The Shen family reunited and gathered together to hold a New Year's Eve banquet, which was very lively.
But the excitement was soon broken by an accident.
"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened..." A maid rushed into Qin Garden in panic, shouting, "Something has happened to the young master..."
Yang Zhao was not present tonight due to feeling unwell.
When the old woman rushed in in panic, she was still lying in bed, and Dong Shuang helped her up: "What were you shouting just now? What happened to the young master?"
"Young Master, the firecrackers set your clothes on fire, and you're all on fire..."
