Perhaps Yun Xuanzhi's rage had indeed had an effect. For the next few days, the various courtyards were at peace. Without the villains stirring up trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was much quieter...
However, in recent days, Yun Qianmeng's ears have been sore from Mu Chun's nagging...
"Mu Chun, if there is anything you don't understand, just tell me!" Seeing that the little girl was always depressed these days, Yun Qianmeng patted the loose soil in front of her with her bare hands and spoke casually!
Mu Chun immediately stretched out her hands and poured the clear water from the teacup onto the seeds she had just planted. However, her chattering mouth remained active. She asked in confusion, "Miss, you are a legitimate daughter. In the absence of the Madam, it is only natural for you to be in charge of all matters in the Prime Minister's residence. Why are you giving it to that Concubine Liu?"
But Mu Chun talked for a long time, and when she looked up, she saw Yun Qianmeng's eyes focused on the seedlings in her hands, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. For a moment, Mu Chun felt a little discouraged. She looked around with her big round eyes, and when she saw that there were no outsiders, she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Princess Tian of the Sea Palace is in charge of half of the palace!"
"You!" But in return, Yun Qianmeng gently tapped her little head!
"Young Lady!" Mu Chun pouted slightly at Yun Qianmeng's teasing, her cheeks flushing slightly. She covered her forehead with one hand and called out in a low voice, "This servant is only thinking about Young Lady! That Concubine Liu is not a good person to begin with. If I let her manage the household this time, will she still take Young Lady seriously in the future?"
Yun Qianmeng saw the little girl getting angry and her eyes full of worry, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She clapped her hands, took the clean handkerchief handed to her by Mu Chun, wiped the dirt off her hands, and then spoke with profound meaning, "Do you think Su Qing's management of the Prime Minister's Mansion all these years is fake? Although Liu Hanyu is also a concubine, she doesn't have her father's love, no beloved son to support her, and no powerful family. Do you think she can be compared with Su Qing? In this Prime Minister's Mansion, who of those who work under Su Qing is not a shrewd person? How could they let Liu Hanyu become the master so easily? How could they let her tell them what to do? Silly girl, this is not an easy job. If you don't do it well, who knows how Su Qing will find fault with you!"
Mu Chun suddenly understood, and looked at Yun Qianmeng with admiration in his eyes. However, he was confused. "Miss, if this matter is so difficult, why did you save the Third Miss? If Aunt Su were to take power again, the Third Miss would be in an even worse situation!"
"Miserable?" Yun Qianmeng snorted coldly, and immediately her mind flashed back to Concubine Liu's suppressed excitement that day. She said calmly, "It's so hard to get my father's attention again. Concubine Liu will definitely take this opportunity to find a good marriage for Yun Yan!"
As she was speaking, Shui'er came over quickly. Seeing Yun Qianmeng, she immediately bowed and said, "Miss, the eldest lady of the Fuguo Mansion is here to see you!"
After he finished speaking, Bing'er led Madam Qu, Ji Shuyu, and Concubine Liu over...
"Niece greets my aunt!" Yun Qianmeng immediately handed the handkerchief in her hand to Mu Chun, and then she personally stepped forward and bowed to the graceful and gentle Ji Shuyu...
A pair of well-maintained hands slowly reached out to Yun Qianmeng's side and gently helped her up. Ji Shuyu looked at Yun Qianmeng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, with eyes full of worry. She couldn't help but say distressedly, "Meng'er, you've lost a lot of weight recently! Let your aunt see the wound on your head. You must take good care of it and don't leave any scars!"
Yun Qianmeng only felt a warm and delicate hand caressing her cheek, and then her injured forehead was gently cared for. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Ji Shuyu was!
Looking up, I saw Ji's delicate facial features, especially her gentle and clear big eyes, which made people subconsciously want to get close to her!
She was wearing an expensive satin long dress, a beaded waistcoat, a Ruyi hairpin and two eight-treasure hairpins in her hair, and the jade earrings beside her ears emitted a faint light in the sun. Although her clothes were restrained, she still showed her elegance invisibly!
This made Yun Qianmeng immediately understand that this Madam Qu must be a wealthy and noble lady who was both beautiful inside and out!
"Thank you for your concern, aunt! Meng'er is unfilial and has made aunt come here in person. I will go to the Fuguo Mansion to apologize someday!" Yun Qianmeng was about to bow again, but was supported by Ji!
Ji feigned anger and said, "Of course not! You're not feeling well, how can you move around? The old lady is very worried about your injury, so she sent me here to check on you. If you can't make it to the old lady's birthday, you can just stay home and recuperate!"
Yun Qianmeng respectfully invited Ji into her boudoir and personally served her hot tea. Then, she smiled and said, "Aunt, please tell Grandmother that I will definitely be at her house to celebrate her birthday! The wound on your head is almost healed, so please don't worry, Aunt and Grandmother!"
Ji Shuyu glanced at Yun Qianmeng's boudoir, and saw that the room of the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion was pitifully empty with only an old bed and a dressing table. The walls around it were stained with rain, which made Ji Shuyu unhappy immediately. However, because of Aunt Liu standing next to him, he endured it!
However, seeing Yun Qianmeng being so graceful and composed today, with a calm and composed look in her every move, Ji Shuyu couldn't help but change the look in his eyes, and began to seriously look at the girl sitting next to him!
Today, Yun Qianmeng was wearing a light green smoke gauze skirt with a layer of golden gauze on the outside. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with silver clouds. Her three thousand black hair was simply tied up and fixed with only a white marble hairpin, while the rest of her hair hung down around her neck, making Yun Qianmeng's skin as white as snow and her temperament extraordinary!
At this moment, Yun Qianmeng had a faint smile on her face, and her black eyes were like an ancient well, which made people unable to see the end at a glance. Especially when she was facing him just now, she handled it appropriately, which was completely different from her past timid and cowardly self who didn't want to see anyone. Ji Shuyu was stunned for a moment!
No wonder when I entered the palace recently, the Queen Mother mentioned Yun Qianmeng to me and said that she was very different from before. It seems that it is true!
I’m afraid that the old lady in the mansion would be very happy to see such a granddaughter!
Thinking of this, Ji Shuyu's eyes showed even more satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He took Yun Qianmeng's hand and patted it gently. "In that case, I will arrange a carriage to pick you up that day! But..."
Ji Shuyu couldn't help but look at the clothes on Yun Qianmeng. Although the material was good, it was obvious that the clothes were old. Perhaps the people in the prime minister's mansion didn't serve her wholeheartedly!
Ji Shuyu frowned slightly, and with a cold glint in her eyes, she glanced at Aunt Liu standing beside her, and said with a hint of displeasure, "If the Xiangfu can't afford the price, all of the eldest lady's expenses will be borne by the Fuguogong Mansion!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat. She immediately said in awe, "Madam, please don't be angry. I will definitely serve the young lady well and won't let you worry!"
Yun Qianmeng was deeply moved at this moment. She nestled into Ji Shuyu's arms in a somewhat coquettish manner, crying, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt! However, Concubine Liu has only recently taken over the affairs of the mansion. I hope Aunt won't blame her wrongly!"
After hearing Yun Qianmeng's explanation, she felt relieved and her expression softened slightly, though her tone remained harsh. However, the little person in her arms was now so sensible, which filled her with maternal love. She caressed Yun Qianmeng's black hair lovingly and said slowly, "If Meng'er needs anything, just send someone to tell your aunt! You, little girl, used to be reluctant to hang out with the Prince of Fuguo Mansion. Every year, your second sister would attend the old lady's birthday. We didn't know what kind of environment you lived in! Seeing you today, how can I not feel sad?"
After saying this, Ji Shuyu wiped her tears secretly with her handkerchief...
Yun Qianmeng sat up straight from her embrace, and with a smile in her eyes, she comforted her, "Aunt, please don't worry. Meng'er will never let anyone bully her again!"
Seeing her determined expression, Ji Shuyu felt a little relieved. After chatting for a while, they stood up and sent Ji away...
"What brings you here today, Auntie?" Returning to Qiluo Garden, Yun Qianmeng saw Auntie Liu following him and asked calmly...
