I studied abroad in modern times

In the Madam's small building.

"You said that Master Zhang gave Zheng Fa a fairy order?" Madam asked the Seventh Young Master.

The Seventh Young Master saw that his sister and his mother were both surprised.

"Well, Zheng Fa told me... He also said that he has no plans to get married now."

The Seventh Young Master looked at his mother carefully, relaying Zheng Fa's words, a little afraid that his mother would be angry because of Zheng Fa's refusal.

What he didn't expect was that his mother's face was not angry, but a little disappointed.

She was silent for a long time before she said, "I thought it was still in time, but it was still too late."

Hearing this, the Seventh Young Master was even more confused: "What's too late?"

Madam did not answer him, but instead cast her eyes on his sister.

The Seventh Young Master followed her gaze and saw that the emotions on his sister's face were three times more complicated than his mother's.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, the eldest lady suppressed her complicated emotions, thought for a while and said, "It should be the time when he went to Senior Sister Zhang's courtyard two days ago."

The lady nodded, and the sigh in her tone had not yet dissipated: "Although I have tried my best to overestimate Zheng Fa, I didn't expect that Master Zhang would think so highly of him."

After that, she suddenly stood up and walked downstairs.

"Mom? Where are you going?"

The Seventh Young Master asked.

"I'm tired of staying here, go out for a walk."

"...Mom, do you think I'm three years old?"

"I'm grown up, so it's not easy to fool you." The lady's tone was still a little sighing.

The Seventh Young Master pouted, this lie was too perfunctory.

Since he could remember, his mother had lived in seclusion in the small building.

Even when his sister came back, his mother only waited on the first floor and didn't leave the small building.

Now she's suddenly going to leave the small building?

"Are you going to find Zheng Fa?"

The Seventh Young Master thought about it, and he only talked about Zheng Fa.

"No?"

"Why?"

The lady looked back at him with surprise, as if she thought his question was stupid: "Even Master Zhang gave him the Immortal Order, shouldn't I go and congratulate him? After all, he grew up in my Zhao family. When he goes to the Immortal Gate in the future, he will be considered a member of my Zhao family. As the head of the Zhao family, I will just watch?"

The Seventh Young Master looked at his mother suspiciously, full of disbelief.

It is very powerful that Zheng Fa got the Immortal Order from Senior Sister Zhang.

But his mother has not left the house for twenty years, and she made an exception just for this matter?

"Mom... do you want to apologize to Zheng Fa?" He suddenly thought of something and said.

The lady paused, with disgust and embarrassment on her face, looking at him and said: "I said you are always smart at the wrong time."

"Mom, why is it so?"

"Mom is afraid, otherwise what if he becomes powerful in the Immortal Gate and causes trouble for me?" The lady's expression seemed to be really afraid.

"You know Zheng Fa is not such a person."

"Can you guarantee it? You believe his mother but not him."

The seventh young master grabbed his wife's sleeve and stopped her, saying, "Mom, you did those things for me. If you want to apologize, I will go!"

He knew too well how proud his mother was.

Ever since his father indulged in wine and women and took in many beauties, his mother stayed in the small building and did not go to the front yard.

Later, after giving birth to him and his sister, she completed the task of carrying on the family line for the Zhao family, and she even did not see her father.

She was so proud that she disdained to compete for favor with others. She did what she felt she should do, and just wanted to turn a blind eye.

"What's wrong with you? You are a fool with good luck. The person you value has such a talent. Mother is very happy." The lady shook her head and said, seeing that he still didn't let go, she simply said with a fierce face: "It's mother who did something wrong and offended people. What's wrong? Can't I admit my mistake?"

The seventh young master didn't say anything, but just grabbed his mother's sleeve tightly.

Madam's tone softened a little:

"You go to apologize on my behalf, which will cost you two's friendship. The more talented he is, the more valuable this friendship is. It's not worth it."

"If mother goes, it will cost me my face. Mother's face is worthless."

"Let go."

Seventh Young Master didn't let go.

Of course he knew that his mother cared about her face the most.

Madam pulled the corner of her sleeve away from his hand, and she looked at the Seventh Young Master and smiled.

"No matter how much I care about my face, my face is still more valuable than the fairy order in Master Zhang's hand?" Looking at her two children, she shook her head self-deprecatingly: "If my face was so valuable, I wouldn't let my son wait for ten years for a fairy order."

Looking at her figure leaving the small building, the Seventh Young Master turned his head and looked at his sister.

"Sister, why didn't you stop me?" Even if he had a good relationship with Zheng Fa, the Seventh Young Master couldn't bear his mother to bow her head like this.

"Don't stop her, you have to remember."

"Remember what?"

"What is the use of the Immortal Order to mother?"

The Seventh Young Master was stunned.

"What does it matter if Senior Sister Zhang favors me? Can Zheng Fa still make mother an immortal?"

"..."

"If she offends Zheng Fa again, can Zheng Fa kill her for your sake?"

"..."

"She went to apologize, not because her face is worthless, but because her face is worthless compared to your future. She doesn't want to affect your relationship with Zheng Fa because of what she did, even if it's just a little bit possible." The eldest lady looked at her younger brother: "When you go to the Immortal Sect and feel that the Immortal Sect is hard, the practice is tiring, and the future is hopeless, think about today."

The Seventh Young Master looked at his sister and suddenly realized that she had really changed a lot after ten years in Qingmu Sect.

...

Downstairs, Butler Wu looked at the lady who walked out of the small building, and the expression on his face was like the sky falling.

"Madam?"

He sounded as if he didn't know the person in front of him.

"Do you know where Zheng Fa's yard is?"

"Zheng Fa's house?" Butler Wu thought for a moment and said, "I know."

"Lead the way."

"I'll tell someone to prepare the sedan chair."

"No need, go over there and walk around the Zhao Mansion first."

"Ah?"

...

"Zheng Fa! Something big has happened!"

Outside the Zheng family's yard, Gao Yuan shouted.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that he was talking so seriously, Zheng Fa also walked out of the yard and asked him.

"Don't you know that today Madam actually walked out of her little building!"

"That's it?" Zheng Fa felt that this person was making a fuss.

"You don't understand, Madam hasn't come downstairs for 20 years... Think about it, if it wasn't really going to happen, why would she come out?"

Zheng Fa felt that it made some sense.

"What happened?"

"How should I know? Maybe some important person is coming to the Zhao Mansion, maybe he is looking for trouble with the master's concubines." Gao Yuan curled his lips and said, "I know that all the servants in the mansion are working, for fear of being caught by the lady for being lazy. My father is trembling with fear now, and he kicked me out and asked me to pretend in the study of the seventh young master."

"Then why did you come here?"

"The seventh young master is not in the yard." Gao Yuan explained, "But I saw the lady on the way. She is so young."

"Hmm..."

"We younger servants have never seen her. When I saw her, I couldn't believe it. If I say, she looks like the seventh young master's sister."

"Hmm..."

"I think the lady didn't seem to go to the front yard. She should be going to meet some important person... Who do you think it is?" Gao Yuan speculated with a gossipy look on his face.

"Me."

"?"

"Yes, she is behind you."
