Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the holiday again.

Mo Yaohua has sent a letter to the Minister of Revenue and will go back today.

She went to Chu Xuanhan's warehouse yesterday and picked out some things as gifts to bring back home.

In addition, she also selected two gorgeous jade jewelry and wore them in her hair today.

This was her first time returning to the Shangshu Mansion after Jinqiu was captured. In addition to Nanny Wu, she also brought Qinghua with her.

Mo Yun already knew about Jinqiu's matter, so when he returned, he wouldn't have to explain why Jinqiu didn't come back.

The carriage with the logo of Prince Qi's Mansion finally stopped outside the Shangshu Mansion, but there was no one at the door.

When Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuanchi returned home, the whole house welcomed them, but Mo Yaohua returned home alone and it was as deserted as the day he returned home.

With the help of Qinghua, she stepped off the carriage and subconsciously looked up at the plaque on the door.

Nanny Wu went to knock on the door. The doorman recognized her and knew that it was the concubine returning home, so he quickly opened the door and someone else went to report.

When Mo Yun received the news, he immediately came to greet her with Lan Ruyu, bowed and saluted, "I hope the concubine is well."

Mo Yaohua has always been close to him and doesn't like these false formalities. "There are no outsiders at home, so there is no need for you to be so polite, Dad."

Mo Yun glanced at the blue and white porcelain and said, "Whether there are outsiders or not, etiquette cannot be abandoned. Madam Concubine, please move to the flower hall."

However, since Mo Yaohua was returning home alone, there was no need for him to go to the main hall. The flower hall was enough and it would also show respect.

Mo Yaohua entered the flower hall and sat down in the main seat unceremoniously, "Dad and Mom, are you okay?"

As before, when there were no outsiders present, she did not call her aunt, but boldly called Lan Ruyu mother.

Mo Yun frowned slightly, glanced at Qinghua standing next to Mo Yaohua, and also glanced at Nanny Wu.

He replied politely: "Except for your grandmother's long-term illness, everything is fine in the mansion. Your Highness does not need to worry."

Mo Yaohua couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you so polite to me today? But what did I do wrong to make Dad angry?"

"Your Highness the Concubine has remembered it wrongly. I have always been like this." Mo Yun refused to admit it, so as not to be considered disrespectful to the Concubine.

Mo Yaohua glanced at Lan Ruyu, and when he saw her shaking her head, he stopped asking questions and tactfully changed the subject and continued the conversation.

Mo Yun was different from the previous times. He never overstepped the line throughout the whole process, which made Mo Yaohua feel very uncomfortable, as if he had a new father.

She was full of doubts and felt very uncomfortable. She found an excuse to leave and said, "Grandma has been ill for a long time, so I will go to see her."

Qinghua and Nanny Wu followed them out of the flower hall and headed towards Yishou Hall. Mo Yaohua was surrounded by people, looking very majestic.

After she walked away, Lan Ruyu asked, "Why was the master so distant to the queen just now? What was he dissatisfied with the queen?"

Mo Yun said in a deep voice: "You can have some private conversation with the concubine later. Don't bring anyone with you. Remind her to be careful about the people around her."

He paid special attention to etiquette and rules today because he didn't want to give people a chance to talk about him and cause unnecessary trouble.

Lan Ruyu suddenly realized, "Master, is it because the new maid named Qinghua is not one of us, and he is afraid that she will say something nonsense?"

Mo Yun was very cautious, "Not only that, after what happened to Jinqiu, even the ones who came with her as a dowry should be more cautious."

Therefore, his peripheral vision not only glanced at Qinghua, but also swept over Nanny Wu. He was afraid that driven by interests, Nanny Wu would also betray her master.

Speaking of Jinqiu, Lan Ruyu couldn't help but frown, "Okay, I will tell the queen and ask her to be careful."

On the other side is Yishou Hall.

Mo Yaohua swaggered into the main hall.

Madam Mo was resting in bed in the side room, but she didn't want to go over.

Upon learning that she was coming, Madam Mo had no choice but to get up from the bed and be helped to the main hall by the maid.

At this moment, Old Madam Mo thought of Mo Zhaohua. When she returned home on the second day of the new year, she did not encounter such trouble.

Madam Mo was already unhappy, but she still had to bow properly after entering the main hall, "Madam Concubine."

"How's grandma?" Mo Yaohua looked at her carefully. "Daddy said grandma has been ill for a long time, but I think she looks fine."

After treatment, Madam Mo's condition is indeed better than before. Lan Ruyu's poison is chronic but fatal.

She attributed all this to Mo Zhaohua, "Thanks to the many precious medicinal herbs sent by Princess Yu, I am now able to get better."

Mo Yaohua was unhappy when she heard this, "Why, grandma, are you blaming me for being too busy recuperating and not bringing you any good medicine?"

Madam Mo was very displeased with her tone and attitude. "No, I am just answering Madam Concubine's question truthfully."

Since when, she found Mo Yaohua more and more annoying, while the once unpopular Mo Zhaohua won her favor.

Mo Zhaohua is well-educated, filial, respectful, generous and open-minded, while Mo Yaohua is weird and insincere.

Mo Yaohua said unhappily, "I lost my child and was injured. No one except my mother came to see me."

"I have been ill since the beginning of the year. I was unable to get up when the queen gave birth, and I was afraid that I would pass on my illness to the queen afterwards."

What Madam Mo said was indeed true. She was first poisoned and became seriously ill, and then she had nightmares about Madam Liu's death and became mentally confused.

In this situation, it was indeed not convenient for her to go out, but she had already written a letter and explained the situation in detail to Mo Yaohua.

Why is Mo Yaohua blaming her now? This really makes her unhappy. Does becoming a concubine allow her to mess with her elders at will?

"The spring exam is coming up soon, my brother will surely pass the exam, grandma, you must take good care of yourself and live longer, so that you can enjoy happiness."

Mo Yaohua said sarcastically, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled, let alone a granddaughter. Grandmother, please don't make the wrong move."

Madam Mo almost choked up, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm old enough to know the difference between good and bad."

Mo Yaohua's words became more and more unpleasant. "When you are old, your eyesight may be blurry. Grandma should think twice and not let a piece of trash blind you."

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu is not a waste, he is the God of War of our Dongling!" Madam Mo was truly repentant and even spoke for Chu Xuanchi.

She felt very bored while recuperating, so the maid told her stories, including some anecdotes about Chu Xuanchi, which allowed her to gain some understanding.

Mo Yaohua sneered, "Then you should hold them in high esteem, and see if they can come and see you off when you die."

"You...you actually cursed me to death!" Madam Mo was poisoned and her health was getting worse day by day. She couldn't even breathe.

Her eyes rolled back and her body fell to one side weakly. She had fainted from Mo Yaohua's anger.

"Old Madam!" Xiaoxi exclaimed and hurried over to support her to prevent her from slipping off the chair.

Xiao Cui came to help, shouting, "Someone, please call the doctor, and tell the master that the old lady has fainted."
