At dinner time, Li sent a maid to lead Yun Qianmeng and the other two to the old lady's room. At this time, Yun Yiheng was already chatting with the old lady with his younger brother and sister-in-law about family matters. When they saw Yun Qianmeng and the others come in, they all greeted them. However, compared to their attitude towards Yun Ruoxue and Yun Yan, the three siblings treated Yun Qianmeng more gently. Even Yun Yiheng gave Yun Qianmeng a rare smile!
The old lady nodded in satisfaction at the performance of the three siblings, and then sat at the center of the dining table with the help of Li, leaving the first seat on the left for Yun Xuanmo, and the others sat down in order according to their age.
Yun Qianmeng saw everything, and thinking of the old lady's attitude towards Yuan Qingzhou before, she seemed to understand something in her heart, and then she pursed her lips and smiled, making it hard to figure out what she was thinking at the moment!
While waiting quietly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door curtain was lifted by a maid, and Yun Xuanmo, the male owner of the Yun Mansion, stepped into the room with a pale face!
"Greetings to Daddy!" "Greetings to Uncle!"
The six younger generations immediately stood up and saluted, but Yun Xuanmo simply nodded, then coughed lightly. With the support of Li, he walked to the old lady and bowed, "Son greets mother!"
The old lady looked at her son's face seriously, a hint of worry flashed across her smiling eyes, but she always maintained her proper demeanor and said with a smile, "You are late today. Third Miss Meng'er has been waiting for a long time!"
Hearing this, Yun Xuanmo looked at the three sisters standing opposite him with a smile on his face. There was a hint of apology in his gentle eyes. "I'm sorry to have kept my niece waiting for so long!"
Yun Qianmeng and the other two didn't dare to act arrogantly, and immediately knelt down to decline, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Meng'er and the other two are the younger generation, and it's only right for us to wait for the elders!"
Seeing everyone constantly bowing at the table, Mrs. Li covered her mouth with her hands and smiled slightly. She looked at the old lady and said jokingly, "Old lady, there's no rush to bow. Let's get to the table quickly, otherwise the food will get cold!"
Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this. After the old lady and Yun Xuanmo sat down, the younger generations slowly sat down. Li stood on the left side of the old lady, serving her dishes and adding soup!
During the meal, apart from the slight rustling sound when Li picked up the dishes, there was no other sound. The etiquette of Yun Yiheng and his two siblings was no less than that of Yun Qianmeng and her three sisters, which made Yun Ruoxue and Yun Yan a little surprised!
Yun Qianmeng had already noticed these details before, so she ate the dinner in front of her with a normal expression. She put down her bowl and chopsticks when she was 70% full, took the teacup handed to her by the maid to rinse her mouth, and then wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth. After everyone finished their meal, they moved to the old lady's warm room together!
It wasn't until the old lady took a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea that she spoke, "Meng'er, I've discussed this with your uncle. Your father still has no male heir, and it's not easy for him to serve alone in the court all these years. Why not take this opportunity to let Yi Heng and Yi Jie go together? They can pass the imperial examinations in the future and help your father!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng's lowered eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart!
It seems that the old lady said those emotional words before just to pave the way for her grandson!
When he borrowed the old lady to suppress Su Qing, he was afraid that the old lady also had her eyes on the Fuguo Mansion behind him and was making preparations for her grandson to enter the officialdom!
Slender fingers gently twisted the lid of the bowl, carefully skimming off the tea leaves. Yun Qianmeng took a sip gracefully and slowly put down the teacup. Just as she was about to speak, Yun Ruoxue spoke first, "Grandma, Daddy just told his granddaughter to take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the old lady and Yun Xuanmo. The old lady's originally faint smile suddenly turned gloomy, and her voice was full of displeasure. "Your eldest sister is here, when is it your turn to speak? A concubine's daughter dares to speak before the legitimate daughter. How did Aunt Su teach her daughter?"
The old lady emphasized the last word "aunt" so much that Yun Ruoxue's eyes turned red for a moment. However, given her status, she had nothing to refute. She could only bite her lower lip and glare at Yun Qianmeng, who was always smiling!
Yun Qianmeng, however, seemed completely oblivious to Yun Ruoxue's hatred for her. Her delicate brows knitted slightly at her sister's rudeness, and she then spoke softly, "Grandma, please calm down. I didn't mean any harm! From what I've seen, cousin Yi Heng is indeed a handsome man. I'm sure father would like him too!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady and Yun Xuanmo understood that Yun Qianmeng had already agreed to this request on behalf of Yun Xuanzhi. The two looked at Yun Qianmeng with approval in their eyes!
Yun Qianmeng, however, observed Yun Xuanmo carefully. He looked pale, with prominent cheekbones and a thin figure, as if he had been plagued by illness for a long time. Recalling what Aunt Mi had told her before, she said with a worried look on her face, "Meng'er, you see, uncle, you look haggard. Please take good care of yourself!"
These seemingly caring words caused the old lady and Yun Xuanmo to glare at Yun Ruoxue angrily!
If Su Qing had not driven them out of the house despite the freezing cold and heavy snow, Yun Xuanmo would not have ended up with so many illnesses. In addition, he was too proud and arrogant to accept this humiliation, and the root of his illness was planted there. Over the years, he has been just living one day at a time!
If I didn’t know that there was no hope in this life, I would not have turned back to ask Yun Xuanzhi for help again!
Yun Ruoxue also learned from Su Qing how the old lady had excluded her mother. If Su Qing had not taken action, she would have been killed by the old lady. Therefore, facing the old lady at this moment, Yun Ruoxue naturally had no good feelings!
Yun Qianmeng's concern just now not only aroused the hatred of the Yun family mother and son towards Su Qing and her daughter, but also made Yun Ruoxue bear a grudge against the mother and son!
Yun Qianmeng, however, seemed oblivious to the atmosphere in the warm room. She smiled faintly and said, "Grandma, since we've decided to go north, we should leave as soon as possible to avoid worrying Father!"
The old lady was very pleased with her granddaughter because of Yun Qianmeng's concession. She exchanged a glance with Yun Xuanmo and nodded. "In that case, we will set off the day after tomorrow. You can go back and rest first!"
Yun Qianmeng saw that the old lady had something to talk to Yun Xuanmo, so she took Yun Ruoxue and Yun Yan and left the warm room first!
"Hmph, you're the only one who knows how to be a good person!" Along the way, Yun Ruoxue's face looked very ugly, and she couldn't help but mutter behind Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng didn't seem angry after hearing this. She simply slowed her pace slightly, her eyes cold and her voice serious, "Sister, don't forget the purpose of this trip! This matter was proposed by Aunt Su. If you don't let Grandmother return to the Prime Minister's Mansion for other reasons, then father will definitely not forgive you for Aunt Su's sake. You should weigh the pros and cons yourself!"
After saying that, Yun Qianmeng stopped talking and returned to Die Cinema with Aunt Mi. Seeing that only Mu Chun and Aunt Mi were left in the room, she softly asked, "Have you found the person?"
Aunt Mi understood and immediately stepped forward and whispered, "I have sent someone to pick her up from Yecheng. I will personally arrange for her to stay in the inn. I will bring her to see the young lady when we return to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Yun Qianmeng saw some pity on Aunt Mi's face, and she immediately understood that the man must have suffered a lot, but now was not the right time to meet him. She could only endure it and wait until she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss everything!
