Mother Zhang waited until she and Chen were the only ones left in the room before she raised her doubts.

"Miss, just being a female householder is enough to honor her, why do you want me to accompany her home?"

Mother Zhang's real name was Zhang Yuan. She was the daughter of Chen's wet nurse, so she had no scruples when talking to Chen in private. Chen even had a grandson, so in her eyes, she was still a young lady.

Chen rolled her eyes at Zhang Mama and said, "This is an ambitious girl, so kind and righteous. I just wanted to help her, as a way of repaying her for saving my life. Besides, her father is not a good person either. If you go, they will be hesitant. I just want to let the maids in the mansion see what kind of maid can catch my eye!"

After saying this, Chen obviously thought of something that made her angry and snorted coldly several times.

Mother Zhang immediately knew that her mistress was still angry about the ignorant maid. Originally, the maids around Chen were all going to be sent out to become the main wife, but who would have thought that Shaoyao, who was so short-sighted, actually coveted the master, and the most outrageous thing was that she successfully became a concubine. This made Chen very angry.

Those who don't know would think that she took the initiative to put people in her son's room. If the eldest daughter-in-law misunderstood, how would they get along in the future? You know, the eldest daughter-in-law's family is not easy to mess with.

Whenever she thought of peony, Chen became furious.

Mother Zhang knew her young lady best, so for the sake of her young lady's body and mind, all the peonies in the mansion were disposed of.

Su He, who came out of Cijingyuan, looked like she had just finished the college entrance examination, with a look of relief and liberation. It was almost time for dinner, and she believed that Juhua and the others had already saved some food for her. She was very happy.

After a good meal and a good sleep, she is a free person!

“Are you Lotus?”

Who?

Su He turned her head and saw a woman in a green dress with a long face and almond-shaped eyes. She was asking her if the dress looked like Mudan's.

"I am, please, sister?"

"I am Lily from the Pear Blossom Courtyard. The Second Madam is looking for you. Come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Su He's response.

Su He curled her lips and followed reluctantly.

The second lady is the daughter-in-law of Chen’s second son.

Chen gave birth to three sons and one daughter. The eldest, Zhao Qingwen, married Wang Rong and had a pair of children, the eldest son Zhao Ziyuan and the eldest daughter Zhao Xiu Yue; the second, Zhao Qingli, married Qian Yuan and had two sons and one daughter, the eldest daughter Zhao Xiu Yao, the eldest son Zhao Zi Chen, and the second son Zhao Zi De; the third, Zhao Qingshu, married Su Shiya, but had no children after their marriage; the fourth, Zhao Qingli, married the second son of the patriarch of a prominent southern family, Chen Chong, and gave birth to two daughters and one son, the eldest daughter Chen Rou, the second daughter Chen Hui, and the youngest son Chen Wen.

Because Chen was worried about her husband who passed away early, she stayed in her hometown Huaihe County in the past few years. The eldest son's family was all in Beijing, the second son's family stayed behind to take care of his mother, and the third son and his wife were also studying in Beijing.

This time, Chen suddenly fainted, which scared Qian Yuan. Her husband had gone out for something, and before leaving, he entrusted all the big and small matters of the family to her, the most important of which was her mother-in-law. As a result, just a few days after her husband left, her mother-in-law fainted.

After three days, there was still no result. She was so worried that her hair turned white. She had no choice but to write to her husband and ask him to help her make a decision.

Who would have thought that her mother-in-law would wake up today? Whenever there was any movement in Cijingyuan, someone from Qian Yuan would come to report the news. However, the content of the report was too outrageous. Her mother-in-law was actually saved by a little girl in the laundry room. She didn't believe it.

Su He had been kneeling on the ground for a quarter of an hour, but the people sitting in the seats hadn't called him up yet.

Su He was so angry that a thousand horses were galloping in her heart. The old lady was so polite to me, who do you think you are and why are you putting on airs?

Now she was extremely glad that she had no intention of rescuing Xiu Yao. She remembered that Xiu Yao fell into the river only this month, so she just let her swim in the river.

When Qian Yuan saw Su He kneeling obediently with his head down, she finally called out to him. After all, whether she believed it or not, the old lady also recognized this benefactor.

"I heard that you saved the old lady?"

"In reply to the Second Madam, I did offer a prescription. It was taken for daily health care. I dare not say that I saved her life. It was the old lady herself who survived because of her great blessings."

What I mean is that good people will be rewarded, old lady. People like you will fall into the river tomorrow. Think about what sin you have committed.

After hearing this, Qian Yuan snorted coldly, knowing that the outsiders had spread the wrong message. How could such a crude little girl have the good fortune to save the old lady?

Perhaps because she heard what she wanted to hear, Qian Yuan's attitude improved a little. She glanced at Su He and said, "You have good intentions. What's the recipe? Write it down and show it to me."

"To reply to the Second Madam, the recipe has been taken away by the Old Madam. I am illiterate and cannot memorize the recipe. If the Second Madam is curious, I will ask Sister Mudan for it. Mudan..."

"Alright, alright, why bother the old lady with such a small matter? She needs to rest right now. In that case, you can go back."

Qian Yuan looked at the clumsy girl angrily and turned around to drink tea.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Su He simply bowed and left. She was not afraid of the Second Madam. Now she had the support of the Old Madam. After all, she was still her lifesaver. It was impossible to harm her. She could only make her kneel down and disgust others.

You old witch, you still want to get my recipe for free? You’re just that narrow-minded. Go to bed right away. You can dream about anything.

It's such a pity for the old lady's second son. He married such a wife. He will be unlucky for the rest of his life.

In fact, Zhao Qingli rushed back overnight after receiving the urgent letter from his wife, and arrived home just one hour after He Hua left.

Because Chen had fallen asleep, Zhao Qingli returned to Lihuayuan after finding Mother Zhang to confirm that his mother was okay.

When Qian finished washing up and entered the house, she found that her husband had returned. She was overjoyed.

"Qingli, you are finally back. Grandma is fine now. Don't worry. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Zhao Qingli looked at Qian Yuan expressionlessly, "I heard that mother was saved by a little girl named Lotus?"

Qian's smile froze for a moment. "My dear husband, that's not true. Mother herself is blessed with great fortune. What does it have to do with a little girl?"

If Su He was present, she would definitely laugh out loud. How could this Second Madam just copy her words without changing a single word?

Zhao Qingli sighed, "Everyone in the mansion knows that it was this girl who saved her. I have also confirmed it with my mother. Why do you insist on not believing it? You asked her to kneel down in front of you to set the rules, but you think that her saving my mother is not as good as you want?"
