The old lady sat on top of it while Liu Yue sat beside her, showing her her newly embroidered satin.

He was going to enter the palace in two days. Because it was for the esteemed empress, he had to show the old mistress the satin and let her evaluate it to see if there were any changes needed.

Although the Old Mistress did not like it when Liu Yue knew neither the art nor the art of embroidery, she still inspected him carefully, afraid that she would displease the Empress when the time came.

"Bring it over for me to see."

Liu Wei took it and gave it to the old lady.

The old mistress looked at it and nodded. "It's not bad."

Liu Yue, who was at the side, frowned. Liu Wei's embroidered cloth was simple, her handwriting was ordinary, and for a cloth of such quality, on the stall outside, there were only three pieces of money.

As for this kind of embroidery, the madame had always praised it. She had embroidered her own phoenix satin for two whole months, but the madame had not only not praised it, she had even picked out a few flaws.

If the madame loved her deeply, she would be happy. However, she knew that she was not.

As everyone knew, the madame was only picky with her because her skills were not up to standard.

Hiding the faint emotions in his eyes, Liu Yue adjusted them and laughed: "Embroidery is a waste of effort. Big sister was able to weave nine words in one day, you must have eyes right? I have some good tea here. I'll get Bi Rong to send some over to elder sister later. "

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "Thank you, sister."

The two of them seemed to be in harmony.

Liu Yue received the old lady's reminder, and did not stay any longer, and took the satin and left.

The old lady had told him many questions, but Liu Yue still had many more to change when she returned. She would be entering the palace in two days, she could not afford to delay any longer.

Liu Yue left and only the old mistress, Nanny Yang and Liu Wei remained in the hall.

hesitated and wanted to leave as well, but the old lady stood up and said to her, "Follow me."

Liu Wei was startled, the Nanny Yang supported the old lady out of the hall and along the long corridor to the other side.

Liu Wei followed obediently behind him. The long corridor was long, and only after walking for a long while did they stop.

When they arrived at a small independent building, they could smell the fragrance of sandalwood even before they entered the two floors of the building.

When he looked at the plaque above the pavilion, the words "Little Buddha Hall" suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Why did the madame bring her to the little buddhist hall?

Suspicion arose in her heart, the old lady had already entered the buddhist hall, and Liu Wei followed her again.

The lighting in the buddhist hall was bad, it was grey and heavy, bringing about the smell of burning paper. Liu Wei uncomfortably moved her nose, and heard her old wife say: "From today onwards, smoke for two hours, and come here to think."

Thinking over?

"Grandmother …"

"You know why I've thought about it."

The old mistress' voice was soft, but her tone did not allow for any rejection.

Under the Nanny Yang's service, the old lady kneeled on the prayer mat in the center of the buddhist hall. He placed his hands together and peeled off the prayer beads from his wrists, hanging them by his mouth, then looked up at the golden Buddha statue.

Liu Wei: "..."

Nanny Yang turned around and glanced at Liu Wei, giving her a signal with her eyes.

Liu Wei pursed her lips, seeing that the old lady's face looked like he was in a meditative state, she swallowed her words and knelt on the praying mat behind, imitating the old lady's actions.

Just like that, Liu Wei couldn't even get up from the Little Buddha Temple.

Liu Wei did not have any religious beliefs, but Liu Wei similarly had respect and reverence towards the Buddha, just that she really did not know what he was kneeling for right now.

The madame's words were obviously meant to punish her for running away from the marriage and offending the Infanta Yuehai.

Compared to the other punishments, the penalty face Buddha was already very light, but couldn't he just go straight to the point? Or perhaps he could just say hello in advance and be detained for coming here so rashly? What was going on?

Time passed second by second. An hour later, the old mistress stood up. She was old indeed, and her body was no longer as strong as it had been before. An hour of kneeling was the old mistress' limit.

After the Old Mistress got up, she looked down and saw Liu Wei's back was straight, her eyes were closed and her face was filled with devotion, as though she was not being punished at all, but was truly a Buddha.

The old lady raised her eyebrow, looking up at Liu Wei.

After the old mistress stood up, she left the Buddhist hall without a word and went next door to the small teahouse.

After entering, the madame sat down exhausted.

Nanny Yang retreated the maidservants who followed along and personally knelt down to pinch the Countess's knees.

"What do you think?" An aged and slow voice sounded from above his head.

Nanny Yang lowered her head and ignored the movements of her hands. She cautiously said: "This old servant, I can't see through you."

Leaning back against the thick cushion, the old lady picked up the teacup and blew on the hot air, "I've only been watching for a few days after coming back, and other than that day when I went out to provoke the Infanta Yuehai, when I was in the residence, she always acted obediently and didn't go around anyone else, and didn't cause any trouble either. It seems like she's on her own."

Nanny Yang nodded her head: "First Miss has suffered too much, it's rare that the Old Madam and Master Chef are willing to forgive her, she also cherishes her blessings, of course she understands."

"You really think so?"

Nanny Yang did not speak.

"You should know why I agreed to let her come back."

Nanny Yang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

The old mistress took a sip of tea and swallowed it. "The Seventh Prince has been settled. No matter what happens in the future, at least I have an explanation. But that matter …"

Nanny Yang interrupted her, "Madame, that was more than ten years ago. Eldest Miss shouldn't have …"

"Then why did she leave five years ago?"

"Perhaps, it might be because they forced the marriage that they acted willfully, and it might not be related to that matter."

The air paused for a few seconds. Just as Nanny Yang was reflecting on whether she was being too direct, the Old Mistress opened his mouth and said indifferently, "Nanny Yang, are you being naive or am I getting old? Do you think that I am easy to fool?"

When Nanny Yang heard this, she was so scared that her back felt cold. She quickly kneeled down heavily and said, "Old madam, this old servant is extremely loyal to you. You must understand!"

There was a moment of silence as the old mistress set the teacup down and let out a crisp sound of clinking. She said lightly, "Did you forget what happened after she saw Seventh Prince?"

Nanny Yang lowered her head even more.
