"What do I think is a big deal?" Granny Yuan twitched her lips and said impatiently, "Just let him in when he comes, do you want me to go and greet him?"
Su Zi glanced at her timidly. The old lady had just arrived at the house. He couldn't tell her temper at the moment, so he had no choice but to respond, "Yes, I will go outside and let you know."
Grandma Yuan threw aside the book that fell on her lap, stood up slowly, and walked leisurely towards the front hall.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Duke Qi's face was ashen, as if he couldn't believe his ears, "What did you say?"
Su Zi stood in front of the carriage with a bright smile, "Please get off the carriage, Duke Qi, and follow your servants into the house."
Qi Guogong's eyes moved slightly, and after confirming again and again that there was no one else behind Su Zi, his expression became even more ugly.
"Do you, the Yongcheng Marquis, understand the rules?" The boy on the side also said with a stern expression, "The Duke of the State is here in person, but the master not only doesn't welcome us, but only sends a little girl to send us away?"
Su Zi's smile did not change and she said quietly, "This servant is the maid beside Mrs. Yongcheng. When she leaves the house, she greets you as a sign of respect."
"Listen to what you mean, if you are willing to send someone out to greet me, you have given me enough face?" Qi Guogong lowered his head and chuckled, with a cold look in his eyes, "Then do I still want to say something to you Yongcheng Marquis? Thanks?"
Su Zita lowered his eyelids, bowed his knees and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and only repeated the same words, "Please also ask the Duke of Qi to move and follow your servants into the house."
Duke Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyelids twitched twice, and he smiled angrily, "Okay, very good, you Yongcheng Marquis is really very good!"
Su Zi lowered his head slightly, and even though his heart was beating like thunder, his expression remained unchanged.
Duke Qi sneered and said in a low voice, "Forget it, I want to see what dirty tricks your Madam Hou wants to play."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young boy hurriedly came forward and knelt on the ground to serve as a footstool for him.
Duke Qi's face turned dark as he slowly stood up and let the boy beside him help him get out of the carriage.
Seeing this, Su Zi turned around and walked back to the house, praying in her heart.
Now the Duke has been completely offended. If he becomes angry and takes advantage of his wife's absence to attack the Marquis...
The old lady must stand up!
Duke Guo of Qi strode forward with a sullen face, followed by six or seven young men in full formation.
The door of the front hall was pushed open, Su Zi walked into the hall in small steps, and whispered, "Old madam, the Duke of Qi has arrived."
Hearing the word "old lady", Duke Qi was surprised for a moment. His eyelids slightly opened, and the appearance of the person above him was reflected in his pupils.
The old woman was wearing a red sandalwood embroidered gold Baidu skirt, her posture was dignified, and her temperament was different from ordinary people. She was probably very satisfied with her life, and there were only two smile lines on her face.
When he saw the old woman's appearance clearly, Duke Qi's eyes narrowed and he was stunned for a long time.
He would never mistake this face no matter what!
Grandma Yuan was holding the stove. Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes. "After so many years, Xiao Qi has grown so big."
Hearing the voice that was buried in his memory, Duke Qi regained his composure, knelt down in a hurry, and said loudly, "Your Majesty Qi Chong has met the Princess of Gu'an. May the princess be blessed and prosperous!"
Grandma Yuan stared at him with a sly smile and slowly changed the subject, "Is your father still strong?"
The eldest princess did not ask him to get up. Even if he had 10,000 courages, he would not dare to do the same thing. He could only kneel down in frustration and whispered, "To answer the eldest princess, everything is fine with my father, but... he often talks about you." .”
Can you stop talking about it?
When the above man was young, he was the dream lover of many children from aristocratic families. He was a figure like moonlight and an unshakable existence.
Even now, there is still a portrait of this person in his father's study.
Upon hearing this, Granny Yuan chuckled and asked casually, "Xiao Qi, are you okay with coming to the Yongcheng Marquis today?"
Duke Qi shook his head, looking a little panicked, "Back to the eldest princess, I have nothing else to do."
"It's just..." Qi Guogong's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Why did you suddenly return to Beijing, and why... did you appear in Yongcheng Houfu?"
"I'm just one step ahead of the news." Granny Yuan smiled faintly, with an imperceptible depth flashing in her eyes. "As for why I am here... living in my daughter's house, what's wrong with it?"
"Daughter..." Qi Guogong looked a little dazed. He gritted his back teeth and whispered, "Who is this daughter that the eldest princess is talking about?"
The little maid just called her old lady, could it be possible...
Perhaps to confirm his suspicion, Granny Yuan slowly spoke, "Is there anyone else in this house who can be my daughter?"
Duke Qi's eyes were a little straightened, and the color on his face disappeared, "Is it...Fang Xu? The eldest princess recognizes her as her daughter?"
There was no warmth in Granny Yuan's eyes, and her tone was calm, "More than twenty years ago, when I went back to Beijing to visit my relatives, I met you once. You were just a child. Now that I see you, you have an upright career and have already married."
Duke Guo of Qi lowered his head, not knowing what to say, and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.
"I can be considered your elder, and I have a few words to say to you today." Granny Yuan had a slight smile on her lips, and her tone was kind, but she was hiding a sinister intent.
"I've heard about all the messes between you and Duanyang. This guy gave his face and reputation to himself. Some people waste half their lives and still can't become high officials. Some people have high positions and power, but they don't know what it means. face."
Grandma Yuan's words reached the ears of Duke Qi word for word. He knelt on his knees and his face turned red with shame.
"Don't think that I don't know why you came to the Yongcheng Marquis today." Granny Yuan's tone was even colder, "I'm just telling you, as long as I'm here, you can't even think about touching the Yongcheng Marquis. A hair on my head."
"If you have this free time, you might as well go to the temple and live more, cultivate your state of mind, and save yourself from thinking about those dirty things all day long!"
Grandma Yuan's move was to be polite before fighting. Duke Qi was angry but dared not speak out, so he could only bow his head and say yes.
Granny Yuan held her forehead and drove people away without mercy, "That's it, I'm tired too, you can go."
"Elder princess, have a good rest. I'll leave." Duke Qi stood up angrily, turned around and walked out.
Looking at Duke Qi's back, Su Zi looked surprised and murmured, "Just...leave like this?"
"What else?" Grandma Yuan glanced at her, slowly raised her hand and ordered, "Help me back to the room, my head is getting more and more painful."
"Hey!" Su Zi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, her smile became more sincere, "Bai Ji's injury has healed. Today she will be keeping an eye on the soup for the old lady. Counting the time, it should be about the same. I'll wait a moment, slave." Send someone to ask, and I will give you a good rub on your head after you return to your room."
Granny Yuan looked pleased and smiled softly, "No wonder I keep you by my side. You are indeed a discerning person."
Su Zi's smile widened and she said crisply, "I can see that the madam truly regards you as my mother, and everyone in the house sincerely recognizes you as the old lady, so if you have anything to do, just tell me, here, you It’s the ancestor!”
Grandma Yuan was filled with joy after hearing these words. She knew in her heart that this girl was saying nice words to please her so that she could support Guaiguai for the rest of her life. But she just liked hearing this scene and enjoyed it.
If possible, she would really like to live with this family and share a family relationship. (End of chapter)
