The old lady of the Ye family, Mrs. Zhang, also came from a small local noble family and had always been arrogant. In addition, her son had become the prime minister in recent years, which made her look even more glorious.

"Mother, Meng Rou comes to say hello to you."

"Yesterday, someone gave me a string of South Sea coral beads. I thought it would be suitable for my mother, so I couldn't wait to send it to you."

As Shen Mengrou spoke, she handed a box to Aunt Hua beside the old lady, and she kindly stepped forward to hold the old lady's arm.

The old lady couldn't say she liked her daughter-in-law very much, but she didn't dislike her either. After all, she was the daughter of her elder brother, so she was somewhat related by blood. Moreover, Shen Mengrou was very aware of current affairs and often came over to honor her.

"I wanted to come see me early in the morning and brought such an expensive gift. I guess something happened!"

"Mother Hua, prepare tea for Madam."

This old lady is worthy of being the head of the mansion. It only takes one glance to tell that Shen Mengrou's trip has a purpose.

"Mom, I really can't hide anything from you." Shen Mengrou said, pulling the cushion behind her to support the old lady.

"You, what little tricks can you hide from me?" The old lady's trick to Shen Mengrou was very effective.

"Mother, you must also know that Yao'er was granted a marriage by the Holy Spirit these past two days. I came here today to ask mother..." Shen Mengrou was interrupted by the old lady before she could finish her words. .

"If you want to come and persuade me not to let Yao'er marry the regent, then don't talk about it. This is a marriage granted by the Holy Spirit himself. It is impossible for our Ye family to resist the decree and disobey it," the old lady said. Then he closed his eyes.

"Mother, how could your daughter-in-law be so bold and ask the Ye family to resist the decree?" Shen Mengrou saw that something was wrong and quickly stood up and said.

"Then what do you mean?" the old lady opened her eyes again and asked.

Shen Mengrou saw the old lady open her eyes and said immediately:

"Mother, Xiangbi, you also know that the prince and Yao'er are in love and have always wanted to marry Yao'er. If our daughter of the Ye family can be appreciated by the prince, it will be a blessing for our entire Ye family. Now the emperor will make the legitimate daughter of the Ye family The marriage was granted to the regent, and Yao'er must not go. Otherwise, she might hurt the prince."

"Then who else can be the legitimate daughter of the Ye family besides Yao'er? It's impossible to let He'er go, right?" The old lady was a little angry.

"Mother, you have forgotten that Ye Qingge is also the legitimate daughter of the Ye family."

"Ye Qingge?" The old lady was very unfamiliar with this name. She didn't remember it until Granny Hua next to her reminded her.

"Old madam, Ye Qingge is Su Ruoning's daughter. Didn't you send them to the countryside five years ago?"

"No, no, we can't let her return home because of this scourge." The old lady firmly denied it as soon as she thought of Ye Qingge.

"Mother, even if you are not doing it for Yao'er, don't you think of our Ye family? Yao'er will have the opportunity to be the crown princess in the future, and her future will be limitless."

"If we marry the regent now, what will our Ye family have to rely on in the future? Besides, if we anger the prince, what chance will our Ye family girls have to join the royal family?" Shen Mengrou said sonorously.

In fact, Shen Mengrou knew about the old lady. In her heart, no one could compare to the rise and fall of the Ye family.

Seeing the old lady's hesitant look, Shen Mengrou immediately stepped forward and said: "Mother, I know that you don't like those siblings stepping into the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you are afraid that their evil spirit will harm our Prime Minister's Mansion, but I There is a way to have both ends of the world."

"Tell me what you can do!" the old lady said calmly.

Although this daughter-in-law has always been gentle on the surface, she always has her own strategy in her heart. However, seeing that she has not harmed the interests of the Ye family, and Rong'er loves her extremely, she just turns a blind eye. Eye-catching.

"Mom, a few days ago, didn't we take over the small courtyard next to it? Why not open it up, clean it up, and let Ye Qingge and her sister live there."

"Madam, you are talking about that..." Grandma Hua was about to say it, but when she realized something was wrong, she immediately covered her mouth and widened her eyes.

"Well, that's the one." Shen Mengrou nodded. It was originally prepared for those hard workers who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now it is easier for the girl.

"We usually let them enter through the small door if they have something to do, and let them stay in the garden if nothing happens. Once we have a separate courtyard for the two siblings to live, it also lets outsiders know that our Prime Minister's Mansion has never neglected the future regent. Second, Come and I can solve your troubles."

When it comes to strategy, Shen Mengrou has never lost.

After hearing this, the old lady was obviously shaken. Although the daughter-in-law here seems to be thinking about her, in fact she has many small thoughts in her heart! But this time she has to let her go.

"That's all, I'm tired. You are the mistress of the house, so you can decide everything. Aunt Hua, it's time for us to go back." The old lady said as she stood up and left with the help of Aunt Hua.

Soon after, Ye Rong also went to court

"Brother Rong, how is it? Does the emperor agree?" Shen Mengrou couldn't wait to find Ye Rong and asked.

"Yes, I agree. What the emperor cares about is the identity of the Ye family's legitimate daughter, not who she is." Ye Ting said as she drank the water.

"Brother Rong, is this true? Great! I have to go back and tell Yao'er quickly." Shen Mengrou left before she could sit still.

Ye Rong on the side smiled and shook his head fondly, "Mother Zhang, go tell Madam and ask her to prepare. After the imperial edict is issued, someone will go to the village to pick Ye Qingge back."

"My slave, you obey!" Mother Zhang walked out immediately.

In Mingxiang Courtyard, Ye Qingyao leaned on Shen Mengrou and acted coquettishly. "Thank you mother for everything you have done for Yao'er. When Yao'er becomes queen in the future, she will never forget her father and mother's nurturing grace."

"Yao'er, don't you dare say such things again." Although Shen Mengrou stopped Ye Qingyao with her voice, she still couldn't hide the smile on her face. This daughter was her most proud child after all.
