C6 Great-grandmother
"Miss, as the eldest daughter of the Third Branch, it is not too much to live in the courtyard of the Madam. "This servant thinks that Miss's actions are not inappropriate. On the contrary, this action can intimidate Aunt Qiao, and let her understand that you are not weak and can be bullied."
Han Qiu's words made Han Yue tremble. She was the one who was wrong. He was only thinking of not causing trouble for the young mistress, but he had forgotten that everyone bullies the weak and fears the strong. The young mistress had just returned. If she were to lower herself to such an extent, people would think that it was too easy to bully her.
"Miss, this servant was wrong, please punish me."
Yun Ke finally retracted her gaze as Han Yue humbly begged for forgiveness. Turning around with his back facing the two Hanyue sisters, he said faintly, "What should come will eventually come. Even if you lower yourself, you won't be able to avoid those schemes. Why not be a little stronger and let yourself feel refreshed first."
"Your servant understands," Hanyue and Hanyue replied with their heads bowed.
"Go and prepare some hot water. I want to bathe and change my clothes. Greetings, Grandmother."
There was still a tough battle to fight, so she naturally couldn't relax.
Grandmother Luo lived in the Hall of Fortune. Yun Ke came to the hall with Han Qiu and Han Yue to see Zhang mama instructing the little girl about something. Yun Ke wasn't in a hurry. She waited for her to finish speaking before walking forward slowly.
"Greetings to the madame, Yun Ke. Please pass it on to her by Zhang mama."
"Third Miss is back?" Although Zhang mama had long known that the eldest daughter of the Third Branch would return home today, she had not expected her to pay her respects to the madame at the first possible moment, causing her to be slightly shocked.
"Yes, Zhang mama has worked hard serving the madame all these years."
As she spoke, she gestured to Han Qiu, who took out an exquisite bag from his sleeve and passed it to Zhang mama.
"It is this old servant's duty to serve the madame. Third Miss, this old servant does not dare to accept your kindness." Zhang mama's eyes flashed as she pushed the bag Han Qiu handed her back.
"Yun Ke had not been in the mansion for so many years, so she felt very guilty for not being able to please the madame. It's a good thing that Zhang mama took care of the madame. Even if the madame found out, she would say that it was yours. "
Everyone loved to hear good words. Zhang mama had been by the old madam's side for decades, and there were countless people who wanted to curry favor with her, but no one had ever told her that she had worked hard and deserved it.
As she pondered, she raised her head to look at the Third Miss in front of her. At such a young age, she was calm and composed, with no trace of arrogance in her eyes.
Zhang mama faintly smiled, took the bag from Han Qiu, and thanked Yun Ke.
"The madame should be resting right now. Third Miss, please wait for a moment. I will go in to report now."
"Thank you, Senior Servant."
Yunke felt slightly blessed and extremely respectful to Zhang mama. After Senior Servant Zhang entered the room to report, she stood silently by the door, waiting. Han Qiu followed behind her, the two of them were like two vigorous cyan pines that couldn't be ignored.
Inside the room, when the old mistress heard from Zhang mama that the eldest daughter of the third branch had returned, she was first taken aback before asking, "Has this child just entered the residence?"
Zhang mama nodded and recounted what Yun Ke had said at the door. Then, she took out the bag that Yun Ke had indicated to Han Qiu.
"Since the child gave it to you, take it. This child has never grown up in Hou Mansion since young. I wonder how he compares to his mother. "
The madame murmured softly. Zhang mama slightly bent her body and didn't say much. She didn't start to speak up for Yun Ke just as she accepted her purse. The old mistress cast a glance at Zhang mama as she began to ponder. She signaled for the girl beside her to bring Yun Ke in.
