Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 278 Sooner or Later

Chapter 278 Sooner or Later
The carriage of the third branch of the Ye family went to the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion first. Ye Jingzhao sent Ye Lan'er into the side door of the Marquis' Mansion before turning around and getting on the carriage.

But he caught a glimpse of the familiar carriage of the Sumu Marquis Mansion out of the corner of his eye.

She was slightly absent-minded, the night was getting darker, and there was a familiar figure riding on a big horse.

It made her feel soft ripples in her heart unconsciously.

When their eyes met, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Mu Yanzong waved at her and urged her to get on the carriage quickly with his eyes.

She nodded slightly to him and waved goodbye.

Then he got on the carriage.

"Zhao Zhao, what happened? Why did you go away for so long?"

Mrs. Ye San's wife, Jiang, looked at her daughter and frowned slightly. She felt a little worried, fearing that the servants at the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion would make her daughter suffer.

"I just saw Prince Mu. I think he has been seeing us off all the way back from the palace gate."

Mrs. Ye San's wife, Jiang, was stunned for a moment, then she turned sideways and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that the Mu family's carriage had just left.

She lowered the curtain, sighed softly, and complained, "This child is thoughtful, but there is no need to be so formal."

After saying this, Mrs. Jiang, the third wife of Ye, took her daughter to sit down.

He looked at his daughter tenderly, his heart full of emotion, "Zhao Zhao has grown up, and you must have your own life. But in the future, don't forget your home, and remember to come back to see me and your father often."

Ye Jingzhao understood that his mother was sad to send him away in the future.

I couldn't help but counsel, "Don't worry, mother. I will come back often to visit you. Besides, when Sister Lin comes to live with you in the future, I will be very relieved to have Sister Lin accompany you."

The next morning, Ye Jingzhao went to the Sumuhou Mansion alone.

Now, Prince Mu’s title of marquis is a foregone conclusion.

As soon as the national mourning is over, he will be conferred the title of Marquis Sumu.

Now he has been given the title of General Pingyuan.

Everyone in the Sumu Marquis's Mansion no longer showed any disrespect to the previously weak eldest branch.

The servant saw that it was the carriage of the third room of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.

He came forward from a distance, his face full of servility.

Ye Jingzhao took a glance and did not help the old woman who came to greet him from the Sumu Marquis's Mansion, but got off the carriage with Hong Zuo's hand.

"Miss Ye Si, our wife has been waiting for you."

The old woman still had a smile on her face, without a trace of anger.

Ye Jingzhao nodded gently, "I think Madam's eyes are very strange."

"Miss Fourth Ye, I am a servant in the old lady's room. It is reasonable for you to think that I am unfamiliar."

The old woman explained.

Upon hearing that it was the nanny in Madam Mu's room, Ye Jingzhao immediately lost interest in paying any attention to her.

He glanced at Hongzao and motioned for her to go into the house with him.

The nun was left standing there in a daze for a moment.

There was a maid waiting cautiously at the main entrance. When she saw Ye Jingzhao, she knelt down and saluted, saying, "Fourth Miss Ye, the Madam ordered this servant to come and greet you."

"In that case, thank you for your help."

Only when he saw that the maid was from Madam Mu's family, Zhao, did Ye Jingzhao let down his guard.

The maid led the way in front.

The nanny who had just been beside Old Madam Mu came trotting forward.

But before he got close, he was stopped by the servant.

The boy looked ferocious and the nanny was frightened. She laughed dryly and waved her hands to explain, "I am going back to report to the old lady. You don't have to stare at me like this. It's scary."

The servant snorted coldly, saying, "Our prince has ordered that if anyone in your courtyard comes to disturb our first lady and our future prince's consort again, they will all suffer!"

The nanny left in disgrace.

Ye Jingzhao had no idea what was happening behind him.

When she arrived at the courtyard of Madam Mu Zhao.

The courtyard, which was once desolate and deserted, now looks full of life, with busy servants everywhere.

The situation was completely different from before. "Miss Ye Si is here."

The maid smiled, bowed, lifted the curtain, and respectfully welcomed the person in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Mrs. Mu, Zhao, staring closely at the three boxes placed in the main room.

His eyes were full of smiles.

Hearing the noise, she looked towards the door.

"Jing Zhao is here, come and take a look."

Madam Mu, Zhao, waved at her repeatedly and called her over.

"These three boxes and cages include some gifts from the palace and some gifts from others. They were all carefully selected. Take a look and pick out any that you don't like."

Zhao pointed at the three boxes and began to explain.

Which ones were rewards from the palace and which ones were sent by someone else.

Gold, silver, jade articles, jewelry and head ornaments.

Each piece looks to be of top quality.

Those who are selected by the Zhao family are naturally the best.

"Madam Mu, you have already given me a lot. I cannot accept these anymore. You should keep them."

Ye Jingzhao took Mrs. Mu Zhao to the side and sat down to talk.

"My child, I am old now and I don't have any use for these things. You are young and you are at the age when you like these things. I will give them to you sooner or later. It is better for me to give them to you early. If you are happy, I will be happy too."

Zhao patted the back of her hand gently.

Full of love.

"I have already asked the kitchen to prepare lunch. Zong Er, that brat, was supposed to come back to have lunch with us today, but unfortunately, he just received the letter and was detained by His Majesty to have lunch with us."

Ye Jingzhao nodded, "It's okay."

In the end, the things in the three boxes were forced upon Ye Jingzhao by Madam Mu Zhao.

After lunch, she accompanied Mrs. Mu, Zhao, for a stroll in the garden of the marquis's mansion.

Along the way, I saw that the attitude of the servants in the Marquis's Mansion towards Zhao was very different from before.

Ye Jingzhao was extremely happy for Mrs. Mu, Zhao.

"Madam Mu, should I go and pay my respects to the old lady?"

As soon as he entered the mansion today, he went straight to Zhao's courtyard. Logically, he should go to pay his respects to Madam Mu.

Since Zhao didn't say anything, she didn't feel comfortable bringing it up.

Now that she had finished strolling in the garden, she was about to say goodbye and go back.

If I don’t ask now, I’m afraid I won’t have another chance to ask.

"You don't have to go. The old lady is not as healthy as before and is confused all day. Even if you go there, I'm afraid she won't recognize you. It's better not to go."

Zhao never thought of letting Ye Jingzhao go over to pay his respects to his mother-in-law.

Ye Jingzhao was not aware of the situation in the Marquis Sumu's mansion.

Zhao's words made her curious.

Then Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Zhao, began to explain.

It turned out that Madam Mu had been traumatized before, and her health had been getting worse day by day.

A few days ago, Prince Mu came back from suppressing bandits.

Madam Mu suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed.

He was in a daze, didn't recognize anyone at the moment, and glared at people all day long.

He gets angry at everyone he sees, and the people serving him are very cautious.

I consulted many doctors, but none of them helped.

Two days ago, a high fever completely destroyed the last bit of clarity in Madam Mu's mind.

I kept the doors and windows closed all day and hid under the quilt.
