Chapter 758
Hearing Mother Shui's words, the old lady couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
She didn't eat all those meals for nothing!
The reason they were worried that Huo Zhao wouldn't take good care of himself was clearly because they saw Huo Zhao serving her at the palace banquet that day, and they were sure that Huo Zhao would say a lot of bad things about her after he went back. That's why they sent this person over!
The old lady was even more furious when she thought of that night at the palace banquet, when Huo Zhao actually dared to scheme against her.
"Speaking of which, I am also her elder. Is it not allowed for me to care about her and go to see her?"
“The young mistress hasn’t gotten up yet. Even if it were the madam herself, I would still stop her,” said Mama Shui. “The old lady is so old, doesn’t she have any sense of propriety?”
Being directly confronted by a servant, with many maids watching nearby, the old lady felt utterly humiliated: "You are utterly insolent!"
Madam Shui smiled nonchalantly: "My daughter has thought things through quite thoroughly. Madam, you may move to the dining room for your meal."
She was Zhong Jie's person, an old lady from a marquis's mansion, whom she really didn't take seriously.
The old lady said with a stern face, "No matter what, you are just a servant, but I am your young lady's proper grandmother. I want to care for her, but you won't allow it. What gives you the right?"
Madam Shui narrowed her eyes: "Madam, I thought you were someone who could understand what I was saying. Wasn't what I said clear enough? The young mistress hasn't gotten up yet, and you insist on going to her bedroom. Is it out of concern, or do you have something else to do?"
Mother Water's temper has never been good.
In the years before Huo Zhao was found, Madam Shui dared to confront even Huo Yue, so how could she possibly take the old lady seriously now?
Seeing that the old lady was speechless, Mama Shui continued, "I don't think the old lady has any appetite anymore. I'll see her out."
As she spoke, Mother Water took a step aside, making way for the old lady.
The old lady frowned deeply.
This person is absolutely unreasonable!
However, this man was tall and strong, while the old lady herself was getting on in years, and her maid Cuizhi was thin and small. It was estimated that even if the two of them joined forces, they wouldn't be able to withstand one of his hands.
The old lady had no choice but to leave.
Mother Water actually followed them all the way out.
As soon as the old lady left the courtyard, Mother Shui immediately had someone close the door.
As soon as Mother Water turned around, she saw Jixiang and Le'an following not far behind her, and her brows relaxed.
Le'an stepped forward and looked at Mother Water with admiration: "My goodness, Mother Water, you are so amazing!"
Water Mother curled her lips into a smile: "What's so special about this?"
The three of them went back together. On the way, Madam Shui continued, "That old lady from the Marquis's mansion is clearly someone who only responds to force. If you two have to face her again in the future, you can't back down, or you'll be waiting for her to take advantage of you."
Jixiang nodded repeatedly: "This servant understands, thank you for your guidance, Mother."
These two were Huo Zhao's trusted confidants, and Madam Shui's attitude towards them softened considerably: "Miss had a hard life before, but now, Miss is a princess of our Yunnan Prince's Mansion, so she doesn't have to live like before. Our Madam has instructed that if Miss suffers, then our Yunnan Prince's Mansion will suffer. So if something like what just happened happens again, just have Le'an block her in front of her."
When Mother Shui met Le An's excited eyes, she couldn't help but say, "I told you to block him, not to use your hands. He's an old man, after all. If something goes wrong during the scuffle, it will cause trouble for the girl."
Le'an was speechless: "Mom, I know, I'm not stupid..."
Ji Xiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mother Water chuckled twice and then asked, "Is the young lady really feeling unwell? Should we call a doctor to come and take a look?"
"No need, no need, the girl is in good spirits, she just can't get up."
"That's good."
——
Huo Zhao slept until dawn. When she got up, she was surprised to find the courtyard completely quiet: "The old lady didn't make a fuss?"
As Jixiang combed her hair, she said, "No, Madam Shui personally intervened and stopped them. She even taught me a lot! Don't worry, Young Madam, I'll definitely be more capable in the future!"
“You’re perfect as you are now,” Huo Zhao said, looking at her in the mirror. “Jixiang, you’re not young anymore. Do you have someone you like?”
Ji Xiang paused in his movements.
