Ji Xiaqiu stood there, and for a moment, she didn't even know if she could sit down.
The Liu Territory was quite sensible and quickly said: "Please take a seat."
Ji Xiaqiu sat down, then Nanny Yang handed the ginseng soup to the young maid and returned the food box to the Liu Territory.
Nanny Yang, who had successfully bought more time for the madame to spend with his grandson, continued to sell Liu Wei's childhood sweets smilingly.
Ji Xiaqiu realized that his daughter had been rather obedient and well-behaved when she was young, just like an ordinary person's young mistress. However, after she was betrothed to someone at the age of 16 and after escaping from the marriage, she went to Qujiang County and had a sudden change in attitude.
Not only did she give birth unmarried, she even became a legal medical expert.
Nanny Yang replied: I have never heard of Big Miss liking medical books, but after walking for a few years, she returned and became a genius doctor, and even became an official of the imperial court. If it wasn't for Second Prince protecting her, who knows what might have happened?
Ji Xiaqiu also had a lingering fear in his heart: "Looks like the engagement was too much of a shock to her. No wonder she still didn't treat Seventh Prince well."
The Seventh Prince felt a little awkward: "At that time, everyone thought that it was good to give her to the Seventh Prince, the mother imperial concubine was a Imperial Consort with a strong mother family, and it was rumored that the Seventh Prince was the only prince who could compete with the crown prince, Master Xiang wanted to find a future for the eldest young miss, even if it was as a concubine for the Seventh Prince, if the Seventh Prince ascended to the throne, the eldest young miss could also be a concubine."
Ji Xiaqiu laughed bitterly: "I would rather she be safe, and be married to my husband, Qin Se and Ming."
Nanny Yang nodded. "Eldest Miss was also unwilling. "She fled."
After talking about Liu Wei some more, when it was really late, Ji Xiaqiu asked Nanny Yang to knock on the door.
The Nanny Yang could not delay any longer and could only go. Ji Xiaqiu went in to pay her respects to the old lady, comforted his a little, and then left through the back door with Liu Mo.
After they left, the old lady started crying on the bed. The Nanny Yang consoled her, "The old lady's personality is still as good as ever. I will go speak to her again in two days and ask her to bring Fourth Young Master back.
The madame could only nod as she listened. The last days of her life, she …
She really wanted to look at Mo a few more times. Mo grew a face that was very similar to his father's. Looking at him was like looking at her eldest son. She would also feel more comfortable.
… ….
Liu Wei travelled a long distance, and just as sshe arrived at Dingzhou Guyong Mansion, he received a message from the capital that Old Madam Liu had passed away, and had asked her to return to the capital to mourn.
Liu Wei was shocked. When she held onto the letter, her hands were trembling.
She hadn't stayed in the Liu Family for long, but she knew very well that Old Lady Liu was the person who had treated her the best. Whether it was the maintenance of the Liu Family when she was young or the care and support they had given her when they were growing up, Old Lady Liu had done her best for her.
Before she left the capital, she even went to see the madame once. The old man was in good health, and although his legs were a bit unhealthy from his previous illness, his spirit was still very good.
Unexpectedly, after just half a month, she had already left.
Liu Wei was in no mood to vacation again, hence they hurriedly rushed back to the capital.
When they arrived in the capital, they had already missed the old lady's funeral. The old lady had already buried herself in the ground, and the white silk of the white sail that she used to live in had not been completely removed.
Liu Wei stood in front of a room full of white cloth, and looked at the old man's memorial tablet in the middle of the hall.
She stayed alone in the hall for a while. When she came out again, there was someone waiting for her in the courtyard.
Liu Yao walked towards Liu Wei and saw her red eyes and nose. She hesitated and gave her a handkerchief.
Liu Wei took the handkerchief, held it in her hand, and said: "Thank you."
Liu Yao sized her up and asked: "Have you been well all these years?"
Liu Yao didn't know that Liu Wei had once disappeared from the ocean, she only knew that she hadn't returned to the capital for a few years, which was why she had asked her this question.
Liu Wei casually said: "It's alright."
At this moment, there were no other servants in the courtyard, only the two of them. The two of them had once been at loggerheads, but now they were having such a harmonious conversation. It could only be said that time had allowed everyone to grow.
Liu Yao said with a wry smile. "I was originally going to get married this year, but now, I have to be filial for three years. I wonder if he's still willing to marry me after three years …"
Liu Wei raised her head and glanced at her, "In all these years, hasn't your mother ever told you about marriage?"
"Yes." Liu Yao said: "But you also know that something happened to the Prime Minister's family before, although she recovered, in that period of time, the people outside all respected and kept away from our family, in that period of time, my mother lost so much hair that she was unable to find a husband for me, in reality, I had already given up on trying to marry anyone, but as for my mother, you also know, she was very strong, and even though she won't be able to find a husband that could look down on me, I think that as I dragged on, she grew older and older, and finally said that she was married last year. Both parties were satisfied, and my grandmother left. Now that I won't be married again …"
Liu Wei frowned and said.
"Who's your husband?"
"In the provinces." Liu Yao replied: "I don't have a good reputation in the capital, and I'm also old. Marrying to the capital's people, I'll inevitably be pointed at. My mother found me a distant relative, surnamed Zhou, in An Prefecture."
Liu Wei said: "Since your mother was the one who had chosen everything, I believe that she would not cancel the engagement just because of these three short years of filial piety."
"I don't know." Liu Yao said: "I have never seen him before, but in the letter, he said that he had seen me before."
"Your correspondence?"
Yes, ever since we were engaged, we've been communicating. This isn't his first time getting married, but his first wife passed away due to illness, but he doesn't have a concubine, nor does he have a concubine. He also doesn't have a concubine, nor does he have a concubine.
"He remarried for the sake of his child. It seems that he has a deep affection for his wife."
Liu Yao nodded her head, "He is very devoted." He started laughing again, "It would be great if you could be this devoted to me in the future."
Even though he wasn't young anymore, this was still his first time getting married. Liu Yao still looked forward to his future husband and life. What he was looking forward to most was for the other party to like him a bit more, to be able to marry him and his wife, and to love him so much that his hair would turn white.
"I will." Liu Wei said: "Since he's someone who has deep feelings for you, she naturally won't give up on you just because it's been three short years. When he said that she had seen you, it means that she has already identified you."
Liu Yao did not make a sound, but her heart was still clearly perturbed.
At this time, Liu Yao's servant Qiao Yun ran in and said with a head full of sweat: "Young, Young Miss, Young, Young, Young Master Zhou is here."
"What?" Liu Yao was shocked.
"Young Master Zhou has gone to the capital. At the moment, he is in the antechamber, talking to the Old Master and Madam. This servant overheard that Young Master Zhou had come to express his condolences after hearing that the Old Madam had passed away. He also said that he would like to meet with the Young Lady."
Liu Yao's fingers tugged on her sleeves: "He, he wants to see me?"
"Master and Madam still haven't agreed. This servant is in a hurry to find Miss. Miss, let's go back to the courtyard first. If we really do meet, Madam will look for you."
Liu Yao looked a little hesitant. She looked at Liu Wei and then at Qiao Yun, helpless.
Liu Wei reminded her: "Go quickly."
Liu Yao then recovered her senses, took another glance at Liu Wei, nodded at her, lifted her skirt, and quickly left with Qiao Yun.
Liu Wei walked along the main road to the front hall. Inside the hall, she saw Liu Cheng talking to a man around the age of thirty. The man had an ordinary appearance but had a calm demeanor.
Liu Wei saw that Liu Cheng and his wife were chatting happily, so she guessed that what Liu Yao was worried about would not happen, that Young Master Zhou, was obviously not here to end the engagement, as if he knew that his fiancee's family was in trouble, and had specially come to pay them a visit, but he was quite considerate.
