Chapter 113: Unforeseen Event: Poison Within Poison
Elderly Lady Zhou knew that Ye Jiuge was on her way, so she stood outside the house, waiting. When she saw Ye Jiuge, she asked excitedly, “Eldest Miss Ye, it’s so late. Did you finish producing the Antidote Pill?”
“Indeed!” Ye Jiuge took out the small jade bottle and shook it.
“Thank goodness!” Elderly Lady Zhou exclaimed. Her eyes shifted upwards. With her palms devoutly pressed together, she bowed to the sky. Then, she bent her knees to kneel and thank Ye Jiuge.
“Elderly Lady, what are you doing? Please get up.” Ye Jiuge quickly lifted up the old servant.
“Eldest Miss Ye, you saved the Imperial Consort’s life. I have nothing to repay you with, so allow me to give you three prostrations!”
Though Elderly Lady Zhou was extremely grateful to Ye Jiuge, she could not express her emotions clearly without actions.
“Elderly Lady Zhou, at your age, you could be my grandmother. You will be torturing me if you kneel before me. Please don’t mention such words again, or I will never come back,” said Ye Jiuge, pretending to be angry.
Elderly Lady Zhou had the same kind of character as Qing Mama. They loved their masters dearly and treated them like their own daughters. They would always take their master’s point of view, no matter what they did, and endured hardship gladly. Ye Jiuge respected them.
“Alright. Please pretend that I did not say anything.”
