Ye Zhen personally made a cup of ginseng tea and came to visit the old lady.
When she came to the upper room, she happened to meet Lu Fang and Lu Jing who were about to go out.
"Third sister, why did you come so late? The old lady loves you so much. You only care about yourself and don't know how to visit the old lady." Lu Jing said sarcastically as soon as she saw Ye Zhen.
Only a few people knew the cause of Old Madam Lu's illness. Lu Fang and the others thought she was tired.
Ye Zhen looked at them and smiled, then frowned and asked, "How is grandmother? Did you find a doctor for her? "
Doctors don't treat themselves, especially the elderly, so whenever the old lady felt uncomfortable, she would invite a doctor from outside to treat her.
Lu Fang glanced at Lu Jing and said to Ye Zhen, "Grandmother only let second uncle enter the house. We will stay outside to pay our respects. Grandmother asked Chen Moji to come out and call us back. I don't think you need to go. The old lady won't see anyone."
Ye Zhen said, "I made ginseng tea for grandmother. Let Chen Moji bring it in."
She also added spirit spring water to the ginseng tea. Although she didn't like the Lu family, the old lady was good to her. The old lady was reasonable. She believed that she didn't know what Lu Lingzhi and Lu Wushuang had done.
Lu Jing curled her lips and said, "Do you think you can go in and see grandmother just by making ginseng tea? It's better to have self-knowledge. Grandmother only loves the imperial concubine most. Do you think you can compare with her? "
"Why should I compare with her?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. "Fourth sister, you think too much."
"What do I think too much …" Lu Jing asked angrily.
Ye Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to her. She walked past her and went up the steps to see the old lady.
Lu Jing stared at Ye Zhen's back unwillingly, planning to taunt her when she was sent away by Chen Moji.
"Third young lady is here. The old lady is waiting for you inside." Chen Moji whispered in Ye Zhen's ear and took the ginseng tea from her hand.
Ye Zhen nodded gently, "Is grandmother all right?"
"She just has a headache, nothing serious." Chen Moji said.
It seems that she is very angry! Ye Zhen thought, raised the scarlet curtain and walked into the room.
"How did she get in to see grandmother?" Lu Jing asked Lu Fang, who was next to her, "Madame doesn't see anyone. Why did she see her alone?"
Lu Fang-er said lightly, "Didn't Old Madam see your father?"
"Can Lu Yaoyao compare to my father?" Lu Jing asked in a shrill voice.
"I'd advise you to keep your voice down. This is the upper room," said Lu Fang-er, ignoring the infuriated Lu Jing.
She was very clear that because she insisted on marrying into the Liang Family, Old Furen was already angry with her. She didn't want to fight for favor with the rest of the family. As long as she obediently did not cause any trouble, she could marry into the Liang Family in another three months. In the future, Old Furen could love whichever granddaughter she wanted. She didn't care at all.
Lu Jing grabbed Lu Fang's hand. "Don't you feel angry at all? We're all granddaughters of the Old Madam, so why is she only interested in Lu Yaoyao? "
"Jing-er, we're all grandmother's granddaughters. But there are still differences," said Lu Fang-er with a smile.
"What's the difference? Don't tell me I can't compare to Lu Yaoyao? "Lu Jing asked unhappily.
"What do you have that can compare to her? You're a legitimate daughter? Do you look as good as her? Do you have the ability to please grandmother like she does? " Lu Fang-er asked with a smile. "Forget it, Jing-er. We don't have Yaoyao's ability. Back then, I thought she was a country bumpkin, but now I realize that we are the country bumpkins."
Ignoring everything else, just their status as legitimate daughters already couldn't compare to Lu Yaoyao.
"If you don't please Old Furen now, what will happen to your dowry in the future? Are you counting on your mother or your aunt? You're marrying into a marquis's residence. If your dowry is too small, how will you face others in the future? "Lu Jing asked with a snort.
Lu Fang-er looked at her with a smile. "Fourth sister, you don't need to sow discord here. Who else would our Lu Family lack for dowry?"
"Forget it if you don't listen to me." Lu Jing angrily stomped her feet and turned to leave.
Looking at her back, Lu Fang-er sneered.
When Ye Zhen entered the room, Lu Shixun, who was sitting beside the bed, stood up and said to the old madam, "Mother, I'll go back first. You have a good rest."
"Second uncle." Ye Zhen bowed and stood obediently by the door.
Lu Shixun glanced at her faintly and nodded. "Yao Yao is here."
"Yao Yao, come to grandmother." The old madam looked a little pale. She sat on the bed and beckoned to Ye Zhen.
"Take good care of grandmother." Lu Shixun ordered and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Chen Zhao put down the ginseng tea. "Old madam, Third Miss has brewed ginseng tea for you."
Old Madam Lu smiled. "Our Yao Yao is the most filial."
Ye Zhen took the ginseng tea from Chen Zhao's hand. "Grandmother, I'll feed you."
"Old madam, this servant will go out first." Chen Zhao smiled.
Only the grandmother and granddaughter were left in the room. Ye Zhen fed the old madam the ginseng tea mouthful by mouthful.
Old Madam Lu only felt that after drinking the ginseng tea, her whole body relaxed a lot. She looked at her granddaughter in front of her with a smile. From the beginning, her most beloved granddaughter was Shuang 'er. Since Yao Yao came to her side, she gradually doted on this beautiful, filial, and kind granddaughter.
Whether a person is good-looking or not is secondary. The most important thing is her heart and character. Shuang 'er was spoiled by them. On the contrary, although Yao Yao grew up in the border town, she was raised very well. Kind, filial, patient, not arrogant and impetuous. She was not attracted by the surface of glory and wealth. She knew exactly what she wanted.
Why can't Shuang 'er be like Yao Yao? No, even if she was half as good as Yao Yao, she wouldn't have to worry so much.
"Today, the Empress asked me to betroth you." Old Madam Lu sighed and whispered to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's eyes moved, she bit her lip and whispered, "Why does the Empress want me to marry? Can the Lu family not tolerate me?"
"Silly child! How can the Lu family not tolerate you? " Old Madam Lu scolded softly. "Shuang 'er's temperament is spoiled. She always thinks that everyone must revolve around her. If she doesn't like it, others must hate it as much as she does."
"Grandmother, then … who does she want me to marry?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Old Madam Lu patted Ye Zhen's hand. "You are still studying in college. How can you be engaged so soon? Don't worry, there is grandmother for everything. Besides, without your parents' approval, who would dare to engage you?"
Ye Zhen put the ginseng tea aside and gently hugged Old Madam Lu's arm. "Grandmother, you are so kind to me. I will be better to you in the future."
