Zhuye quickly helped her up: "Madam, if you are tired, go to the recliner and rest for a while."
"good."
Zhuye helped Gu Yunran sit on the recliner, and Taohua hurried back from outside.
"Madam, the old lady wants you to pass by."
Zhuye complained, "The Second Madam is in charge of the household now. Why does the Old Madam want Madam to go there?"
"Madam's waist is not in good condition, so why not let her rest for a while?"
Gu Yunran didn't know either, but she still stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Baomo Hall.
Madam Lu held the invitation in her hand and handed it to Gu Yunran: "Yunran, there will be a peach blossom banquet at the Zheng family next month. Bring the children from the mansion to see it."
Gu Yunran glanced at the invitation and did not accept it. Instead, she directly refused: "Mother-in-law, my second sister-in-law is the head of the family now. You should let her go."
Old Madam Lu reached out to hold Gu Yunran's hand, but Gu Yunran dodged her.
Old Madam Lu's face darkened, and she felt a surge of anger in her chest. She wanted to be closely related to Gu Yunran, but she refused even when given the face.
"Yun Ran!" Madam Lu wanted to get angry, but when she remembered that she had something to ask of her, she suppressed her anger and softened her voice. "After all, the Zheng family is one of the Four Generals of Tiansheng, just like your grandfather. Your second sister-in-law was born in a humble family and doesn't know some of the rules. It would be better for you to take the children with you."
She paused and continued, "The fifth girl is not young anymore and has reached the age for marriage. I heard that the third son of the Zheng family is still unmarried. Can you help to match him up?"
She smiled and said, "Don't let me down."
After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Gu Yunran sneered in his heart. This must be the ultimate goal.
In her previous life, she had brought together Mr. Zheng San and Miss Lu Jiajia Wu, but what was the result?
The Lu family relied on many powerful people, so they were fearless in attacking her.
"Okay." Gu Yunran accepted the invitation readily, "I will definitely not let my mother-in-law down."
"If mother-in-law has nothing else to do, I'll go back first."
Madam Lu then waved her hand with a friendly expression: "Go ahead. You're done with your work these past two days, so take a good rest."
"Yes, Yun Ran knows. Thank you for your concern, mother-in-law."
Gu Yunran bowed and walked out.
After leaving Baomo Hall, Zhuye angrily said, "Madam, are you really going to match the Third Master Zheng and the Fifth Miss?"
"The Fifth Miss is already 22 and still unmarried. If the old lady asks you to match her up, wouldn't that offend the Zheng family?"
Gu Yunran put the invitation away and said with a smile, "I can't let the old lady down."
Taohua saw Gu Yunran's ambiguous smile and tugged at Zhuye's sleeve: "Okay, Zhuye, be careful of the wall."
She pointed to the corner of the courtyard wall and whispered in Zhuye's ear in a low voice, "Madam has her own plans."
Zhuye subconsciously looked towards the corner of the courtyard wall and found that the flowers over there moved.
She stared at Taohua with wide eyes, then closed her mouth.
After the master and servants left, a figure walked out from inside and spat at Gu Yunran's back.
"Bah! What a jerk! How dare a lowly servant like you talk about me?"
Lu Jiajia angrily went to Baomo Hall and told Madam Lu what she had just heard. She cried and said, "Mother, I don't care. I am your youngest daughter. That stinky girl Zhuye actually laughed at me. Find someone to teach her a lesson."
Madam Lu dotingly held her daughter's hand and advised, "You still have to rely on your fourth sister-in-law for your marriage. If you touch her maid now, will your fourth sister-in-law still help you?"
"She's just a cheap girl, why bother with her so much?"
Madam Lu glared at Lu Jiajia and said, "Jiajia, stop saying such vulgar things. You're going to marry into the Zheng family and become the third wife. The Zheng family is a wealthy family and they value rules and etiquette the most."
Lu Jiajia pursed her lips and said, "Mom, I've lived in the countryside for so many years, I can't change it all at once."
Madam Lu glared at her: "Didn't the teacher I hired for you teach you well?"
Lu Jiajia lowered her head, tears streaming down her face again. "My mother must have disliked me. Otherwise, why would she send me to my aunt's house when I was so young? Her family was so poor, and I had to live such a hard life in the countryside, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work."
"If my aunt hadn't died, you would never have taken me back."
As Lu Jiajia spoke, she lay down in Madam Lu's arms and started crying. Madam Lu looked distressed. She reached out and patted Lu Jiajia's back and sighed.
"Jia Jia, mother had no choice back then. Your father died early, and I raised so many children by myself without even having enough to eat. If I hadn't sent you away, how could you have survived?"
She helped Lu Jiajia up and caressed her face gently. "You are my youngest daughter. The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh. How can a mother not feel pain?"
"Aren't I busy asking your fourth sister-in-law to introduce you to a good family?"
"Is the Zheng family better than my third sister's husband's family?" Lu Jiajia asked with her head raised.
Madam Lu smiled and said, "It's much better than my third sister and her husband's home."
Lu Jiajia smiled with satisfaction, but suddenly she became unhappy again.
"Mother, Zhuye is making fun of me. I can't let this out. I feel uncomfortable."
Madam Lu's face darkened, and she said sternly, "Don't worry, once your fourth sister-in-law arranges your marriage with the Zheng family, I will definitely not let Zhuye off the hook."
"But you can't touch her now. She's a girl your fourth sister-in-law brought from her mother's home. She treats her like a sister."
Lu Jiajia curled her lips: "Fourth sister-in-law is really stupid."
Zhuye returned to Fangxingyuan and sneezed three times along the way.
"Madam, I'm afraid someone is cursing me."
