Farm Girl's Manor

Grand Master Cui and the concubine-born Second Old Master Cui had gone to court, and since Old Master Cui San paid no attention to affairs, it fell upon Grand Master Cui’s eldest legitimate son to entertain Mo Qingze, the newly emerged uncle, accompanied by his older cousin and cousins once removed.

Cui Qingrou personally carried two jars of honey, and flanked by a host of nephews, she came to Old Lady Cui’s courtyard with Mo Qingze. Hearing the news, Old Lady Cui and the ladies of the residence were already waiting inside the room.

After the couple paid their kneeling respects to Old Lady Cui and exchanged greetings with the others, Mo Qingze was invited out to the outer courtyard by the group of nephews, while Cui Qingrou was pulled aside by Old Lady Cui.

Old Lady Cui carefully looked over her daughter and, seeing her rosy complexion and a newfound openness between her brows, she knew that the past few days at the Mo Family had been very comfortable for her. She patted the back of her hand reassuringly and said, "This marriage alliance was not a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Cui Qingrou’s lips unconsciously revealed a slight smile, "My husband treats your daughter well, and the children are very kind, showing great affection towards your daughter! If it weren’t for your great-granddaughter reminding me, I would have almost forgotten the matter of returning home to visit."

Hearing her daughter advocating on behalf of her "great-granddaughter," Old Lady Cui simply smiled without speaking, her gaze subtly landing on the two maids, Lvzhi and Lvmei, standing behind her daughter.

For today’s return visit, Cui Qingrou brought only two of her four big maids, Lvzhi and Lvmei. The other two, Red Tassel and Red Sleeve, were left at home to manage domestic affairs.

Lvzhi and Lvmei were both astute, instantly understanding the meaning behind Lady Cui’s gaze. Exchanging a glance, Lvzhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Old Lady, the master has been treating the young lady very well. He personally took the young lady all around these past few days. Otherwise, the young lady would not have nearly forgotten about returning home. All the young ladies and the young master changed their way of addressing her to ’Mother’. These return-home gifts were all prepared by the eldest girl, who also specially prepared some fine items for you."

As she spoke, she pointed to the two jars of honey on the tea table, "This honey was specially prepared by the eldest young lady for Old Lady and Seventh Grandma, so that both of you can have a spoonful in the morning and evening. It’s good for the spleen and stomach and can also help calm the mind. The eldest young lady truly keeps Old Lady in her heart."

Old Lady Cui’s attention was drawn to the two white porcelain jars. When Cui Qingrou entered, she had seen the jars and thought that her daughter had bought her some food from the street market. She hadn’t expected that it was the great-granddaughter who had specially prepared them.
