With Ye Zhen accompanying Old Madam Lu day and night, in less than two days, the old madam's body was much better and her spirit looked better than usual. This was the result of being nourished by Ye Zhen's spirit spring for two days.
Old Madam Lu's body was well, and the atmosphere of the whole Lu family was finally better. As the end of the year approached, the whole house was cleaned up and welcomed the new. There was a lively and joyous atmosphere everywhere.
"Thanks to Yao Yao these two days, the old madam's complexion looks much better." Second Madam Lu glanced at Ye Zhen with a smile.
Ye Rou stood beside Old Madam Lu with her head lowered. She was still rather wary of this Second Madam Lu, Madam Wang. Madam Wang was different from the Liu matriarch. She had followed Lu Shixun in Jinkou City for many years, so she treated people better than the Liu matriarch. Of course, she was more scheming.
Madam Pei said with a smile, "Second Sister-in-law, don't praise Yaoyao. What else can she do? She does nothing but talk to Madam Dowager every day. It's all because of the doctors you and Second Uncle found for Madam Dowager. Otherwise, how could Madam Dowager recover so quickly?"
Madam Wang covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't be modest. There are several girls in the family, but only Yao Yao can live in the upper room. The others don't have this blessing."
To the side, Lu Fang-er lowered her head and didn't say anything. She had a wooden appearance, as if she hadn't heard Wang Shi's provocation. On the other hand, Lu Jing's eyes flashed with unwillingness, and she hatefully glared at Ye Zhen.
"Mother, grandmother asked me to live in the upper room." Lu Tong, who was sitting next to Madam Wang, said in a childish voice.
The proud smile on Madam Wang's face froze for a moment, and she looked down at Lu Tong.
Old Madam Lu, who had not spoken, looked up at Madam Wang and said with a smile, "Second daughter-in-law, if you like the upper room so much, why don't you let Tong 'er stay in the west room in the future? What do you think?"
"Mother, Tong 'er is still young. I am afraid that she will disturb your rest." Madam Wang said hurriedly.
Old Madam Lu smiled, "Yao Yao studies in the medical center. She is more proficient in medicine than others. She takes care of me in the upper room. Is there anyone more suitable than her to stay in the upper room?"
Madam Wang said with a smile, "Mother, I just said that Yao Yao knows how to take care of you."
"Although I'm old, I'm not muddle-headed. I can understand everything you're saying." Old Madam Lu said lightly.
Madam Wang forced a smile.
Old Madam Lu looked at everyone present. "It's almost the New Year. Her Highness has bestowed many gifts two days ago. Second daughter-in-law, go take a look at the storeroom and distribute the gifts to the various branches."
"Yes, Mother," Wang-shi replied in a low voice.
"I'm still a little tired. You guys can leave first." Old Madam Lu said. Two days ago, she had temporarily handed over the family's affairs to the Wang family and the Pei family and asked them to work together to manage the household.
Lu Jing immediately walked to Old Madam's side. "Grandmother, let me help you back into the house."
"You can all go back. The doctor said that I've recovered. You don't have to continue taking care of me here. Yao Yao, you can go back too. You haven't done anything these past two days except accompany me." Old Madam Lu said.
Ye Rou smiled and said, "Grandmother, I'll go back first."
She stayed in the upper room to take care of Old Furen because this old woman truly loved her. She wanted to repay her and did not want to owe her anything in the future.
When she left the upper room, Ye Zhen quickened her pace as Lu Jing walked towards her. She knew what Lu Jing wanted to say, but now she was not in the mood to deal with the little girl's jealousy.
"Yao Yao." Before Ye Zhen entered her courtyard, she was stopped by Lu Shixun, who was not far away.
"Second Uncle, are you looking for me?" Ye Zhen saluted and looked at Lu Shixun with a smile, guessing why he came to see her. It couldn't be a good thing.
Lu Shixun looked at the little girl in front of him. Sure enough, she was beautiful and well-spoken. No wonder the Imperial Consort regarded her as a thorn in her side. "Yao Yao, Second Uncle has something to say to you. Come with me."
Ye Zhen originally wanted to deal with Lu Shixun. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Now that there is an opportunity to understand Lu Shixun, she naturally will not miss it. "Okay."
Lu Shixun asked Ye Zhen to go to the study with him.
"Second uncle, I don't know what you want to talk to me about?" Ye Zhen asked curiously, looking very obedient and docile.
"Yao Yao, you should know very well why the old lady fell ill this time." Lu Shixun did not beat around the bush with Lu Yaoyao. He knew that his niece was a smart person.
Ye Zhen nodded gently and looked at Lu Shixun suspiciously, not understanding what he was going to say.
"Yaoyao, you not only possess a devastatingly beautiful appearance, but also a kind heart. Even if it's for old madam and the Lu clan, you will still be willing to suffer a little, right?" A rare amiable smile was revealed on Lu Shixun's stern face.
Unfortunately, in Ye Zhen's view, his smile was more fake than wearing a mask. "Second Uncle, since I am so good, why should I suffer?"
"For the Lu family! Yao Yao, Second Uncle wants you to marry into Jinkou City in the future. Are you willing? " Lu Shixun felt that with Yao Yao's kindness, she would certainly consider the overall situation and would not refuse his request.
"Because the Imperial Consort wants me to leave the capital, I will marry into Jinkou City in the future. Is this for the Lu family and the Imperial Consort?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"That's right! Our Lu family can't have a sisterly feud. The best arrangement is for you to leave the capital. " Lu Shixun said that since his eldest brother was dead, he was the pillar of the Lu family. Naturally, he had to think of the whole family in everything.
Ye Zhen said word by word, "I don't want to!"
Lu Shixun was stunned. "What did you say?"
"Second Uncle, I have done nothing wrong. Why should I suffer? What you worry about will never happen. "Ye Zhen said faintly.
"Yao Yao, Second Uncle is doing this for your own good." Lu Shixun said in a deep voice.
This Lu Shixun is really self-righteous! Thinking that his decision is right, it seems that this man must be used to acting arbitrarily in business. "I think I am good now."
Lu Shixun scolded, "What do you think you can get by staying in the capital? Yao Yao, our Lu family can't have another Imperial Consort. "
"Second Uncle, what are you thinking? Who said I am going to the palace? Is it the only good thing for me to do?" Ye Zhen's tone was a little sarcastic. "Thank you for worrying about my future. However, my affairs are arranged by my father and grandmother. You don't have to worry about it."
This niece is as stubborn as her father! "Do you want to watch the old madam continue to suffer because of you?"
"The person who makes grandmother suffer is not me. If Second Uncle is really filial, it is better to go to the palace and talk about it." Ye Zhen said lightly, "This niece has other things to do. I will not disturb Second Uncle."
