Chapter 659: Erya Conquers the Old Lady
Yun Ting really wanted to smooth things over.
But he remembered Arya's warning and kept his mouth shut.
Erya bowed calmly, presented the gifts, and introduced the origins of each item with a smile, which made the old lady's expression a little better.
She felt that after having been out and about, she felt that she was a little different, not like an ordinary girl from a poor family.
After a few pleasantries, the old lady got down to business.
"I heard Yun Ting was going to follow you to Guangzhou Prefecture? Nonsense! How could he, the son of the Duke's Mansion, abandon his family business and follow you into business? When you marry into his family, you should persuade him to be more prudent and not let him do whatever he wants."
Yun Ting was anxious.
He clearly told his grandmother that his trip to Guangzhou Prefecture had nothing to do with Erya.
He wanted to retreat while the going got tough and avoid the turmoil that would be stirred up by the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
Grandma didn't say anything then, so why now...
But Erya was not as angry as he imagined, she just looked a little embarrassed.
She glanced at the maids and servants standing in the hall and said to the old lady, "What the old ancestor said is reasonable. But regarding this matter, may I explain it to you alone?"
Seeing her serious expression, the old lady waved her hand and sent the servants away.
Only the old lady, Yun Ting and Erya were left in the hall.
Erya leaned closer to the old lady, her voice low and solemn, "Old Ancestor, please understand. It's not that I'm being willful and want to take the Crown Prince south. The truth is, the Crown Prince has been in poor health in the capital for these years. The imperial physician examined him privately and said that the climate in the capital is not conducive to having children. He needs to go to the warm and humid south to recuperate for a year or two, then he'll be safer."
The old lady was struck by lightning.
She did have this suspicion before.
Because Yun Ting is so old, he has never had a woman around him.
When she asked, Yun Ting said that the situation was unstable and they didn't want to think about it for the time being.
The old lady is just deceiving herself.
But I had this idea in my mind a long time ago, but I didn’t expect that it would be confirmed by Erya today.
"No, what are you talking about in such a mysterious way?" Yun Ting said with a smile.
Erya bit the old lady's ear and said, "It's not my turn as an unmarried girl to tell you about this matter. But the prince is too shy to speak up, and I, I really can't help it..."
She just didn't believe that the old lady would not care about the matter involving the incense of the Duke's Mansion.
The old lady looked at Yun Ting solemnly, looking him up and down.
Yun Ting was puzzled.
What's going on?
Is there anything he can't listen to?
"The Crown Prince is the Duke's only child. Expanding and continuing the family line is of paramount importance. Although I'm reluctant to leave the capital and my parents, for the Crown Prince's health and the future of the Duke's Mansion, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany him. This matter must not be made public, otherwise the Crown Prince will lose face. Just tell others that I wanted to go south to do business, and the Crown Prince was worried about me, so I followed him."
The old lady was shocked.
She looked at Erya's sincere and worried expression, and thought that Yun Ting was indeed the only hope of the family. The disease of "difficulty in having children" hit the deepest worries in her heart.
All the previous dissatisfaction with Erya was instantly replaced by this worry and touching.
This girl, for Ting'er and the Duke's Mansion, was willing to bear the reputation of being "restless" and leave her hometown...
This kind of heart and this kind of endurance are truly rare.
"My dear child, it's hard for you to think so carefully. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position!" the old lady said in a trembling voice.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Yun Ting was sick.
They all went through this when they were young. How could any young man hold back?
If you say you can hold it back, then there must be something you can't tell.
Yun Ting didn't want to tell anyone about this, but he told her because he and Erya were childhood sweethearts and were very close.
Yun Ting was confused.
"No, what are you talking about!"
Tell him quickly.
He was really curious.
Zhuozhuo is so amazing. With just a few words, she made her grandmother treat her as one of her own.
No wonder she doesn’t have to speak, she is really capable!
When Erya saw that the old lady believed her, her attitude softened and she felt relieved.
She raised her voice and said, "I just told the old ancestor that I heard that there is a little nephew on the old ancestor's side who runs the family business. If there is an opportunity in the future, it would be great if we could cooperate as family and support each other."
Yun Ting understood this immediately.
Zhuozhuo is giving a big gift to his grandmother!
There is no need to worry about the future of the Duke's Mansion, but my grandmother is still concerned about her mother's family.
Zhuozhuo is just catering to his interests.
Good, good, good!
Zhuozhuo really understands people's hearts well.
Sure enough, when the old lady heard it, she was even more surprised and happy.
This girl not only "understands the big picture", but also takes the initiative to offer support to her family.
This little bit of business isn't a big deal right now, but what's more important is the attitude.
When she becomes the head of the Duke's Mansion in the future, she will never forget to support her family.
This is a real benefit.
Her family needs this kind of help right now.
The old lady looked at Erya as if she were a lucky baby, and said repeatedly, "Good, good! I'm so happy that you have this intention! Rui Ge'er is quite reliable. I'll ask him to come find you later so you can discuss it!"
When Yun Ting heard these words, he immediately smiled.
Zhuozhuo never let him down.
The old lady even specially invited Erya to have dinner with her.
The change in attitude from the original intention to accuse her to "This is my own granddaughter" took only a quarter of an hour.
At an angle where the old lady couldn't see, Erya raised her eyebrows and smiled at Yun Ting.
Yun Ting responded to her with his mouth: "I admire you so much. I bow down to you."
He didn't know yet that Arya had already made him "unable to handle" him.
The servants in the Duke's Mansion who were waiting to watch the show were so shocked that their eyes dropped to the ground when they saw Erya being loved by the old lady.
——What happened?
This legendary second daughter of the Xiao family, after creating so many miracles, has now "conquered" all the ancestors?
You know, it's easy to satisfy the prince, but it's so difficult to satisfy the old lady!
But this person did it almost immediately after meeting him once.
From now on, you must be respectful to this person.
This person is definitely a powerful character who should not be underestimated.
Erya came here and achieved all she wanted.
After dinner, Yun Ting took her home.
Logically speaking, this is not against the rules.
But the old lady acquiesced and turned a blind eye. Who would be so ignorant as to complain about it?
On the way back, Yun Ting couldn't hold back any longer and pestered Erya to find out the reason.
"What did you say to my grandmother? You should teach me."
Arya smiled slyly: "Are you sure you want to listen?"
"Why, is it still related to me?"
"Uncle," Erya smiled like a little fox, "remember, from now on, in Grandmother's eyes, you are a weak person who needs to be properly cared for in order to continue the family line. The capital is not suitable for you, Guangzhou is the place for you."
It took Yun Ting a while to realize what was happening. His face flushed and he gritted his teeth.
"You really dare to say anything!"
