Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 283 Revisiting old matters
"The fourth girl is now an adult."

Old Madam Ye held Ye Jingzhao's hand, and for the first time her expression softened. As she spoke, she winked at the nanny behind her.

The maid bent down slightly and came forward with a red lacquer box carved with cloud patterns in her hands.

"I think the fourth girl doesn't lack anything now, and there must be a lot of good things in the house."

Old Madam Ye loosened her grip on Ye Jingzhao's hand, her brows filled with a gentle smile. Although she said this, the pride in her eyes did not seem fake at all.

She took the box from the nanny and slowly opened it. Inside the box was a red gold bracelet inlaid with various gemstones.

Although the workmanship looks a bit old, the gems on it are truly dazzling and worth a lot of money.

The old lady took out the red gold bracelet from the box and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he put the bracelet on Ye Jingzhao's right wrist.

"Grandma can't give me anything good, except this one, which my mother gave me personally when I got married. She hoped that I would have a happy and smooth life in the future."

When the old lady mentioned her deceased mother, a flash of sadness flashed across her eyes.

"Now, I give you this sincere sincerity as well." The old lady patted the back of Ye Jingzhao's hand gently.

As if mumbling to herself, "Grandma hopes that you can let go of the past, the right and wrong, and the grudges. What matters most is to live your life well in the future."

"I have taken note of your instructions and teachings, grandma, please don't worry anymore."

Ye Jingzhao responded with a faint smile, lowered his eyes, and stroked the bracelet on his wrist with care and love.

"Okay, then today the protagonist, the fourth girl, will have dinner with me, an old woman."

The old lady smiled and took Ye Jingzhao's hand and slowly stood up.

The nanny behind them hurried forward to lend a hand, and everyone in the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion followed carefully behind.

This kind of harmonious and warm scene was the first time to occur in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.

Everyone enjoyed the meal happily.

After lunch, everyone chatted with the old lady for a long time.

The old lady couldn't help but be happy today.

Just as the old lady began to feel a little depressed, the nanny stepped forward and advised her to rest.

The old lady held on for a while before giving up.

But before leaving, the old lady suddenly stopped and turned her head sharply to look at her daughters-in-law behind her.

He didn't look tired at all. "Since you are all here today, have you figured out what I entrusted to you, Old Two?"

The daughters-in-law of the Ye family were all stunned when they heard their mother-in-law bringing up the old matter again.

The daughters-in-law looked at each other.

The old lady saw that everyone was hesitant and did not answer.

He immediately put away his kind expression and his eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and sharpness.

Her tone was a little raised. "Why, are you all just thinking about yourselves now? I am not dead yet! It's just a small matter, and I can't count on you now?"

The old lady then sneered, her tone full of sarcasm, "Forget it, since you are not willing to take it seriously, I, an old woman, will not count on you for the second son's affairs."

After the old lady said this, everyone's tense hearts relaxed.

But the old lady's next words made the first lady Liang's heart, which had just been put at ease, become anxious again.

"My eldest daughter-in-law, please send a message to the Queen who is leaving our house and tell her that I will go to the palace tomorrow to pay my respects to my great granddaughter."

When Liang heard that her mother-in-law was going to enter the palace, she thought that this matter would fall on her daughter.

Moreover, my daughter finally had this baby. Now that she is older, the due date seems to be just around the corner.

If you hear these things, you will inevitably feel embarrassed.

If he gets hurt, Liang will regret it to death.

Liang hurried forward and carefully advised: "Mother-in-law, it's not that I'm not doing my best. I'm not going abroad for mourning, so it's not good to be seen in public. But I'll keep in mind everything you told me."

The nanny who was supporting the old lady made room for Liang, and Liang took the opportunity to support her mother-in-law. She continued to lobby, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I will definitely satisfy you about this matter."

The old lady glanced at Liang and asked, "Really?"

Liang nodded quickly and replied, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. When has your daughter-in-law ever lied to you?"

The old lady was satisfied. "That's all right. The queen is not feeling well right now, so I won't cause any trouble for her."

After settling the old lady, Mrs. Jiang, the third wife of Ye, and her daughter Ye Jingzhao waited for Mrs. Liang, the first wife of Ye, outside the old lady's room.

Footsteps were approaching from far away in the house.

The door was slowly opened by the old woman.

Then Madam Liang walked out of the room with a frown on her face.

"Sister-in-law."

Mrs. Ye San's wife, Jiang, stepped forward, full of concern.

Liang raised her eyes and saw her third brother's wife and niece waiting outside the door.

Youyou sighed and let out a long breath.

Jiang wanted to ask more, but Liang shook her head.

He then ordered someone to close the door, and then left the old lady's courtyard with his third brother's wife, Jiang, and his niece.

"Oh, this matter of mother-in-law is really difficult for me."

Liang walked while expressing the difficulties in her heart.

Jiang listened silently and nodded from time to time.

Ye Jingzhao lagged behind by two steps.

Liang originally wanted to keep her third brother's wife in her own courtyard to talk, but Jiang refused and wanted to go back.

She had no choice but to give up.

After seeing the person out the door, Liang waved goodbye.

Jiang felt conflicted, and couldn't bear to think of the care her elder sister-in-law had given her in the past.

I was silent for a moment, but I couldn't just ignore it.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry too much about what mother-in-law told you. I will help you with this matter. If I find a suitable candidate, I will send someone to inform you."

When Liang heard this, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell a little.

"I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you, my third sister-in-law..."

Liang held Jiang's hand tightly, "Thank you!"

Jiang smiled and shook her head, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite to me. We are a family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs."

Just waiting for the third wife to return to her own house.

Just after entering the courtyard, Ye Jingzhao asked, "Mother promised my aunt, but do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Jiang shook her head helplessly when she heard this. "Your aunt has taken good care of us over the years. Now that our lives are a little better, I can't bear to watch your aunt suffer while I do nothing."

"It's just that this candidate..." Jiang paused, "How can he be so easy to look at right now? Your second uncle is in such a difficult situation now..."

After the new emperor ascended the throne, my second uncle's official position was demoted again and again, and now he only holds an idle sixth-rank official position in the court.

Ye Jingzhao weighed it in her mind, considering her second uncle's current status in Kyoto.

Judging from what my grandmother has in mind for her son and daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill her wish.

"Don't worry, mother. There is always a way to solve the problem."

Ye Jingzhao comforted his mother while thinking about the matter in his heart.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head, and a clear outline gradually formed in my mind.

"Mom, I have an idea."
