"Mother, drink the ginseng soup to calm your heart! I couldn't be more excited!" Aunt Yun stood up and handed the old lady a bowl of ginseng soup. "It's really her good fortune that the eldest lady can come back safely!"
"Yes! Our daughter's life should not be cut off!" The old lady took the ginseng soup, with tears still unwiped on her face.
Aunt Yun is the niece of the old lady. She usually serves the old lady for a long time. As the master here, Mrs. Su only curled her lips and said nothing.
If she likes to serve the old woman, let her serve her, so that she doesn't have to be a lowly servant to serve her.
But Nanny Su stood behind, gave her a gentle push, and winked.
She reluctantly stood up and walked towards the old lady, "Mother, my daughter-in-law will serve you some soup!"
"No, no, no! You all sit down and have a good meal! Drink it by yourself!" The old lady waved her hand upon seeing this.
"My daughter-in-law was also so happy that she forgot about everything. She will go back to Qingcheng to repair the courtyard!" Mrs. Su also returned to her seat.
However, as the wife of the prime minister and in charge of the palace, she is responsible for these matters.
"Okay!" The old lady responded, slowly calming down her emotions.
"This is really a happy event! Our daughter-in-law is coming back!" Aunt Qing chuckled twice. Her words were addressed to everyone, but her eyes were directed at Mrs. Su.
Everyone else just had a symbolic smile on their face, whether it was genuine or fake, but Aunt Qing was unwilling to be left alone and spoke.
"Aunt Qing, what do you mean?" Ye Meidai stopped listening and asked.
Aunt Qing looked at Ye Meidai, still smiling so charmingly.
"Miss Third, why are you anxious? I was just telling the truth, and I didn't say that you are not the legitimate daughter!" She covered her mouth and smiled softly, "There are no concubines in our house now! There are... just this legitimate daughter... and
Just a stepdaughter!"
Aunt Qing, who had a charming smile and beautiful eyes, could not have been more beautiful at this moment. After she finished speaking, before Ye Meidai lost her temper, she stood up and walked towards Prime Minister Ye with her wine in hand.
"Master, let me pour you a glass of wine! This is what my father got from overseas businessmen. It is very delicious!"
Prime Minister Ye enjoyed it the most. Not only was the wine valuable, but the people were also fascinated by it.
"Go and sit down! Just let the maid pour the wine!" He said with a pleasant smile.
"Master, I still want to add a concubine to the house! Otherwise, the third lady will not have a sense of superiority!" Aunt Qing gently touched the back of Prime Minister Ye's hand before leaving, giggling.
"How outrageous!" Madam Su interrupted sternly, "As a concubine, do you have any rules for saying such ridiculous things in front of so many children?"
Aunt Qing stopped immediately and happened to stand behind Aunt Yun. "Madam, where do you start from talking about this? I just want to do more for the master. There is no concubine in the house now, so I just want to
Give me a concubine! But madam, although there are two young masters in the house now, there is no legitimate son yet! What do you think, madam?"
Full of provocation, he looked at Mrs. Su without fear, with smiles in his eyes.
"You...master, do you care?" Mrs. Su couldn't say it, and pulled Prime Minister Ye out. "In front of my mother, in front of so many children, do you think I don't care if Aunt Qing is so presumptuous?"
Prime Minister Ye is partial to Aunt Qing in his heart. She can help him with money, but it is not easy to offend Su Rou, because although she is a concubine, she is the concubine of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and he has to rely on her natal family.
Although he is a prime minister, his foundation is still shallow.
"Okay! Stop talking! What's the point of making a fuss in front of your mother?" So he chose to make peace with her.
Aunt Qing walked back to her seat proudly, but Mrs. Su was so angry that she couldn't eat anything.
One worry after another today made her lose her appetite.
Ye Meida was about to say something else, but was grabbed by her sister Ye Qianying next to her. She threw her hand away unhappily and chewed the food in front of her angrily.
"Jinnian! Why haven't you seen Mr. and Mrs. Sen'er?" The old lady put down the bowl, wiped her mouth, looked around, noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Ye Sen had not come over, and asked.
Prime Minister Ye paused for a moment, "Mom, Sen'er did something wrong recently and was punished by me! I'm thinking about it in my room!"
The old lady nodded and stopped asking.
Ye Sen was brought back by Prime Minister Ye. When he was brought back, he was already sensible. He was not close to her as a grandmother and was usually polite and distant.
"Grandma! My grandson recently got a 100-year-old ginseng. I will send it to you later!" Ye Liancheng interrupted at the right time.
The old lady was happy, "Okay! Liancheng is the most filial!"
Although the old lady doesn't go out much, she still likes money and can't change her attitude of being a common man.
Ye Jinnian glanced at the eldest son of a concubine. He already looked like a young man, but he had grown up unknowingly.
Although he didn't have much affection for his aunt, he still admired his eldest son.
He is proficient in civil and military affairs, understands etiquette, and knows how to advance and retreat, but his personality is a bit softer than that of his aunt.
"Brother is starting to please grandma again. I wonder what he wants?" Ye Meidai said with a slight smile and angrily.
"Where is the third sister? The eldest brother is just looking for me to replenish my grandmother's health! What can I ask for?" Ye Liancheng's face was expressionless, but there was also a bit of disgust.
This younger sister likes to confront him on weekdays, and she won't give up until she says a few words to make him angry.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. Aunt Yun was born in a farm family and has no support from her natal family. You and your mother and son usually rely on your grandmother for help. Now that you have spent a hundred years of ginseng, I don't believe you don't ask for anything! Are you on hand...
…”
"That's enough!" Prime Minister Ye's face darkened. "Liancheng is your eldest brother! You don't understand etiquette. Is this how you talk to your eldest brother?"
"But father! Meidai is a legitimate daughter, and the eldest brother is a concubine. How can they compare?" Su Rou didn't have time to hold Ye Meidai back, and the girl confided everything.
"I said it a long time ago!" After hearing this, the old lady put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "All the children in the house are the same! They are all my grandson! Granddaughter! Don't talk about your direct concubine all day long!
Although Liancheng was born to Aunt Yun, he is also your father’s eldest son! Your eldest brother! With such rudeness, where have you learned the etiquette and rules?"
As soon as the old lady became serious, no one dared to be lax anymore. Prime Minister Ye respected this mother the most. Normally, no one dared to disobey the old lady. The old lady didn't like to lecture others, but today she spoke so seriously.
During the lecture, Prime Minister Ye took the lead and sat down in an orderly manner.
"Mom, don't be angry, Mei Dai is still young and doesn't understand the rules! My daughter-in-law asked her to apologize to Liancheng!" Mrs. Su immediately pleaded for mercy despite the pressure.
"You're not young anymore! You're eleven years old, and you're about to get married! How can a young man like him who doesn't understand the rules like this?" The old lady obviously didn't want to let it go this time, "Jinnian! You are the prime minister.
Can you ask for a ceremonial nun from the palace? This child will be useless if he doesn’t teach him a lesson! If he gets married in the future, it will be a shame for our Ye family! Qianying has an engagement with the prince and will attend palace banquets in the future.
Too much. If you don’t understand etiquette like this, what can you do if you get into trouble?"
Prime Minister Ye glared at Mrs. Su fiercely, then stood up and clasped his fists, "That's what mother said! When I enter the palace tomorrow, I'll beg the Queen to send a ceremonial nun to teach these two careless ones!"
