Seeing Yun Qianmeng being so humble and polite, the old lady slowly turned her gaze towards her, but just this one glance made the old lady stunned!
The old lady never imagined that her own granddaughter, whom she had never met, was so similar to her deceased eldest daughter-in-law!
However, Qu Ruoli grew up under the care of Old Lady Gu, and he was gentle and non-confrontational!
Although Yun Qianmeng in front of him had a gentle face, her shining eyes revealed resilience and indomitable spirit. The mother and daughter looked similar, but their personalities were probably opposite!
Looking at Yun Qianmeng's appearance, the old lady couldn't help but recall the time she spent with her eldest daughter-in-law. Although they were not biological mother and daughter, they were better than biological mother and daughter.
If it weren't for that disappointing son of his, why would Su Qing drive him away? Meng'er wouldn't have lost her mother at a young age and been left without anyone to rely on. I think the child's expression at this moment is probably also due to the pressure of life!
Feeling emotional for a moment, the old lady pulled Yun Qianmeng's small hand, held it in her palm, and stroked it carefully for a while. She couldn't help but sigh, "Although your grandmother and I are not close friends who grew up together, we hit it off right away and have a very good relationship! This is also the reason why your grandmother was confident in marrying your mother into the Yun family. What a pity..."
The next words were all swallowed up by the old lady's "what a pity", but Yun Qianmeng guessed from the old lady's ashamed expression that she and Qu Ruoli must have a harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, otherwise why would she feel so sad when she first saw her?
Yun Qianmeng raised a hand to cover the old lady's, her words full of comfort, "Grandma, why don't you feel sad? Now that father has taken you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is also trying to show his filial piety! Besides, Aunt Su is pregnant now, and maybe she can give you a big fat grandson. With so many happy events, Grandma should be happy! After all, mother has been dead for so many years. If she knew that you were still sad for her, she would not be at peace even in the underworld!"
These words really touched the old lady's heart!
Although he felt deeply guilty towards Qu Ruoli and Old Lady Gu at the moment, this was an old story that happened more than ten years ago. In addition, Yun Qianmeng and he had never spent a day together, and apart from their blood relationship, they had no feelings for each other. Doing this now was just to let Yun Qianmeng know that he still had her in his heart. He also hoped that she would not say those things in front of Old Lady Gu, so as not to make the relationship between the two families more awkward!
After all, even though she had a deep relationship with Qu Ruoli, it was still not as strong as the mother-son relationship she had with her biological son. Even though she was angry with her son at the time, she would not let a daughter-in-law ruin her son's career!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng being so sensible, the old lady's eyes were full of satisfaction. There was an indescribable love in her eyes as she looked at Yun Qianmeng. She pulled Yun Qianmeng over to sit next to her, then pointed to the two boys and one girl standing on the left and introduced them, "These are your aunt's three children. These are your two cousins Yi Heng and Yi Jie, and this is your cousin Yi Yi!"
Yun Qianmeng looked in the direction the old lady pointed, and saw that both cousins were handsome young men. However, compared to Yun Yijie's greasy hair and powdered face, Yun Yiheng seemed calm and experienced, while Yun Yiyi, who was standing next to her, still looked like a child. Her big, wide eyes were full of kindness and innocence. When she saw Yun Qianmeng looking at her, her face turned slightly red, and she secretly stuck out her tongue, which was so adorable!
The six people came forward to greet each other. Yun Yiheng's expression remained calm, neither cold nor indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what his emotions were. Yun Yijie's quick eyes quickly moved around the three of them, and the smile on his lips became even more intense. Yun Yiyi smiled shyly at the three sisters in a friendly manner, but her manner of greeting was graceful and elegant. It seemed that the Li family had invested a lot of money in this aspect. Apart from being a little shy, Yun Yiyi was no worse than the noble ladies in Kyoto in other aspects!
"Mother, Meng'er and the others are tired after traveling for days. Let the three sisters have a good rest today, and then let your husband meet them at dinner!" Li stepped forward and said the next arrangements with a smile. The old lady nodded and waved her hand. Then several maids came up, ready to lead Yun Qianmeng and others downstairs!
At this time, a housekeeper came in hurriedly from outside. When she saw the old lady, she knelt down and said anxiously, "Old lady, there is a man outside who claims to be the young master of the Korean mansion. He wants to stay in our house!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady glanced at the three sisters with a strange look on her face. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Yun Qianmeng. Yun Qianmeng looked calm, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. She then ordered, "Just tell them that there are no vacancies in the mansion and ask the young master to find another place to live!"
After the nanny left, Yun Qianmeng and the other two knelt down to bow to the old lady and followed Li out of the warm room.
The three sisters were placed in the Butterfly Cinema in the southeast of the Yun Mansion. Yun Qianmeng took Li's hand and asked Aunt Mi to take out the gifts she had brought. She said sincerely, "Aunt treats me like her own daughter, so I'm offering this to you. These are the gifts my father asked me to prepare for you, your brother and sister before I left. Please accept them!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng had not forgotten her, Li smiled and let the maids take the gifts. She earnestly told Yun Qianmeng and the other two to have a good rest, then walked out of the Butterfly Cinema and turned to walk towards Master Yun’s study in the east!
At this time, Master Yun, Yun Xuanmo, was practicing calligraphy with a brush. Seeing his wife come in, he did not stop writing. He just waved his hand to let the servant go out to wait, and then asked casually, "Are you here?"
Li knew what her husband was asking, so she softly replied, "Yes!"
Yun Xuanmo heard Li's indifferent voice, so he put down his pen and looked at her curiously, puzzled, "What's wrong? Are those three girls difficult to deal with?"
Hearing this, Li smiled softly, and just as Yun Xuanmo was about to get angry, she quickly spoke, "The young lady is quite capable! However, the old lady has made her stance clear today, and I believe the young lady understands this as well. This will definitely help Heng'er's career in the future!"
Hearing what Li said, Yun Xuanmo did not show any happy expression. Instead, he walked to the window with his hands behind his back. His sharp eyes revealed a hint of hatred. If his eldest brother had not been deceived by Su Qing and driven his mother and himself, who were living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, back to Su City, his two sons would definitely have grown up in Kyoto as noble sons. Why would he try so hard to send the children to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?
Li knew her husband's resentment. Thinking back to the time when Su Qing had driven her out of the Prime Minister's Residence, she felt a chill running down her spine even when she closed her eyes. However, since they needed a favor from her uncle's family today, they naturally had to lower their stance. "Husband, I see that the three young ladies don't get along very well. The eldest is smart and capable, the third is quiet and well-behaved, but the second has a bad temper!"
As soon as the words fell, Li heard Yun Xuanmo snort, and then a low growl of gritted teeth rang in her ears, "With a mother like that, how much better can you expect your daughter to be? Tell Yi Heng and the others to maintain a good relationship with Yun Qianmeng. In the eyes of the emperor, the Fuguo Mansion is much more important than my eldest brother!"
Seeing the anger in Yun Xuanmo's eyes, Li knew that he must be thinking about the humiliation he had suffered that year. She was a little worried about his ailing body, so she immediately stopped talking, nodded slightly, and turned to leave the study...
