At the Si family's old residence:
A socialite dressed in Chanel's latest custom-made outfit sat on the sofa and attentively brewed tea for the old madam. She said obediently and considerately, "Grandma, 9th brother hasn't been home during this period of time. Qin Yu was afraid you'd be lonely, so I specially came over to keep you company!"
The old madam held a string of prayer beads in her hand and nodded without a change in expression. "En, you're considerate, but I don't need you to keep me company. Just take care of yourselves."
The socialite hurriedly chimed in, "Grandma is right! Actually, it's not up to me to accompany Grandma, it's just that … "
The socialite deliberately paused and glanced at the old madam before continuing, "I heard that … Ninth Brother's woman went with Ninth Brother this time. Since Ninth Brother isn't around, Sister Ruoxi has to be busy with company matters and can't split herself up. That's why I came here. Grandma, I hope you won't mind!"
When the old madam heard that, her hand that was twirling the prayer beads paused. "You're saying Wanwan went to country B with Little 9th?"
"That's right, grandma, don't you know? I spoke too much! "The socialite looked like she just realized she said something wrong.
"Why did Wanwan go with Little 9th?" the old madam asked.
"This..." Seeing the old madam press on, the socialite put on a troubled expression and said, "It's probably because Miss Ye and 9th brother's relationship is too good and she couldn't bear for him to leave!
I heard she made a fuss for a long time this morning, saying she wasn't feeling well. Then she said she had a nightmare and dreamed that 9th brother would be in danger this time, so she wouldn't let 9th brother go no matter what. 9th brother really didn't have a choice, so he brought her along! "
When the old madam heard that, her calm expression subtly darkened.
Especially when she heard that "Ninth Brother will be in danger this time."
Old people were more taboo about these things, so even though it was something she said casually, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
She could casually say something like that just to make Little 9th stay and keep me company?
The old madam closed her eyes and let out a long sigh in her heart.
In the end, she was still young and immature...
The world only knew how noble and superior her Little 9th was in that position, but they didn't know how much he suffered to get to where he was today.
Even now, he was only peaceful on the surface.
How many hidden dangers were there in the Si family and outside?
How many people were staring at him?
Those people were waiting for the slightest flaw to pounce on him and kill him. He couldn't let his guard down for even a moment …
His grandson had grown up in such an environment since he was a child, and he had never experienced any happiness of his age.
No matter what that girl's past was, what her background and family circumstances were, as long as she could make her Little Jiu happy, she could endure anything.
But now, she had no choice but to worry about her grandson's future.
If he insisted on letting such a woman become the matriarch of the household, Little Nine's future path would be several times more difficult.
She was already so old, how many more years could she stay by Little Nine's side?
If it was just a poor family background, being smart and virtuous could make up for it. I'm just afraid … Sigh …
The granddaughter-in-law she was most satisfied with was still Ruoxi. If she was by Little Nine's side to assist her, she would be able to rest in peace when she was buried a hundred years later.
But Little Nine did not have the slightest interest in Ruo Xi.
