The old lady came back to her senses and looked at Jiang Jingyu: "But is there something you don't understand?"
Jiang Jingyu put the account books aside, stood up and came to the old lady's side to serve her tea.
"Grandma, are you too tired these days? I see that grandma is a little absent-minded."
The old lady raised her head and looked at Jiang Jingyu with some difficulty.
Jiang Jingyu saw her unspeakable secret and said with a smile, "Grandma, it doesn't matter if you say it."
The old lady pointed to the seat next to her and motioned Jiang Jingyu to sit down. After Jiang Jingyu sat down, the old lady said, "Jingyu, your mother is coming back."
Jiang Jingyu's biological mother, the third aunt, has passed away many years ago. The mother here naturally refers to the Qin family.
Jiang Jingyu was stunned, but he didn't expect that it was this matter that made it difficult for the old lady to speak.
She only heard from Xiu'er that the Qin family went to Fuyang's old house, but Xiu'er didn't know what she was going to do.
Jiang Jingyu had a serious look on her face: "My granddaughter-in-law knows this. When mother comes back, she will go to the city gate to wait for her in person."
But the old lady shook her head and said with a headache on her face: "Jingyu, grandma didn't mean that. Your mother is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. Although what she said was not pleasant to listen to, she actually didn't have any bad intentions."
Otherwise, the old lady would not allow her to come in.
The old lady's greatest wish is for her family and everything to be prosperous. She doesn't care about her family status, as long as her son likes her and the daughter-in-law she marries is not a troublemaker.
The old lady has long been accustomed to Qin's temperament, but Jiang Jingyu has just entered the house and doesn't know Qin well.
The old lady knew that the daughter-in-law that the Qin family was satisfied with was Jiang Jingran, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house, not Jiang Jingyu, who was born as a concubine.
Now that the old lady is still alive, even if Mrs. Qin no longer likes Jiang Jingyu, she can at least live with it on the surface, but what happens after the old lady dies?
Can Mrs. Qin still treat Jiang Jingyu kindly?
Jiang Jingyu nodded and said, "I know."
Although the Qin family was not kind to her in the previous life, when the general's mansion was raided and executed, the Qin family wanted her to sever ties with the general's mansion and escape death.
It's enough to show that Mrs. Qin is a very mean-spirited person.
The old lady turned to look at Jiang Jingyu and said earnestly: "Jingyu, I am getting old. My biggest hope now is that our General's Mansion can be in harmony and that you are all safe."
"If your mother says something unpleasant when she comes back, Jing Yu, please don't take it to heart. Tell your grandmother immediately and she will help you solve it. Don't hurt the relationship between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law because of her mouth. Peaceful."
The old lady knows very well Qin's temperament, which goes in one ear and out the other. A hundred words of advice to Qin would not be as good as one to Jiang Jingyu, who has a clear temperament.
Jiang Jingyu understood the old lady's concerns and comforted her: "I will definitely get along well with my mother when she comes back. Grandma should not worry about this matter anymore."
The old lady patted the back of Jiang Jingyu's hand and said, "Good boy, my grandmother will be relieved with your words."
Thinking of something, the old lady said sternly: "When you have learned all the skills of managing the mansion, my grandmother will hand over the power of running the general's mansion to you. From now on, you will be the mistress of the general's mansion."
"It's best for you and your mother-in-law to live in harmony, but if she doesn't appreciate it and treats her kindness like a donkey's heart and lungs to speak ill of you, you don't have to accept her and directly exercise your right as the mistress of the house to send her to Fuyang. Just stay home.”
Out of sight out of mind!
The old lady has tried this method time and time again.
Mrs. Qin has a good face and likes to deal with official wives. Every time she is punished by the old lady to go to Lao Zhuangzi to think about it, she will find various reasons to regain her face.
At first, others believed the reasons she made up, but then they stopped believing her after many times.
Therefore, every time she came back from Lao Zhuangzi, Mrs. Qin could live in peace for a long time, fearing that she would be punished by the old lady again and lose face in front of everyone.
Ah sneeze X2——
Qin, who was held by the old lady, sneezed twice in a row.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Are you catching a cold?"
Yinghong hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Qin: "Madam, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up first. I will go and get some medicine for Madam."
Mrs. Qin waved her hand: "No need, I'm fine."
Yinghong was a little worried and couldn't help but persuade her: "Madam, we should return to Beijing in three days. If Madam catches the wind and cold at this juncture, the long journey will be uncomfortable!"
Mrs. Qin suddenly stood up: "Ying red against green, pack your bags, let's set off back to Beijing today!"
"Now?"
The two maids exclaimed in disbelief.
"But madam, the one-month period has not yet come. If we go back now, will the old madam..."
"I will go and tell my mother personally."
Qin had already decided to leave and directly interrupted Yinghong's words.
She was punished by her mother for saying something dissatisfied with Jing Yu in front of her mother and came to the old house to think about her mistakes. As long as she treats Jing Yu well when she returns and treats her like her own daughter, I believe her mother will not care about her returning to Beijing early. .
At Qin's insistence, one of Yinghong and Linlv packed their bags, while the other ran out and ordered the boys to prepare their horses.
Qi Lingyun happened to meet Lin Lu when she came over. After learning from her that Qin was going back to Beijing today, she felt happy and hurriedly ran towards Qin's room.
"Aunt, aunt, are we going back to the general's mansion today?"
Qi Lingyun ran in without even bothering to knock on the door, unable to conceal the joy in her voice.
Mrs. Qin raised her head and looked at her: "Why are Yun'er here? Didn't you say you want to go back to the Qin Mansion to see your mother?"
Qi Lingyun directly ignored the question and asked: "Aunt, are we leaving for the General's Mansion today?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What nonsense are Yun'er talking about? My aunt is going back today, and Yun'er will continue to go back to the Qin Mansion to take care of your mother."
The smile on Qi Lingyun's mouth froze instantly.
After being stunned for a moment, she put on a smile again and came to Qin's side, shaking Qin's arm coquettishly.
"Auntie, please stop joking with Yun'er. Yun'er will go back and pack her clothes right now, and will return to the General's Mansion with her aunt later!"
After Qi Lingyun finished speaking, she went back to her room to pack her clothes, but Qin held her wrist.
Qi Lingyun turned around in confusion and saw Mrs. Qin looking at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Yun'er, do you think I'm joking?"
Qi Lingyun's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes instantly filled with tears, looking pitiful and innocent.
"Didn't my aunt agree to take me back to the general's mansion with her?"
Mrs. Qin sighed: "I originally planned to take Yun'er back to the General's Mansion with me, but there is not a day when I don't miss you, cousin Yanci, in the old house. I know the pain of separation between mother and son."
"I have already experienced that kind of heartbreaking pain. How can I bear to let you mother and daughter endure this kind of pain again?"
Qi Lingyun: "?!!"
She never thought that Qin would go back on her word because of this matter!
Qi Lingyun took a deep breath and was about to speak——
"Auntie knows that Yun'er has been filial since she was a child, so she can't bear to see your mother in tears all the time, and she misses her so much that she becomes ill, right?"
