Although Qiu's had used a lot of hidden techniques, the heavens seemed to be helping her. She had survived the past few incidents and could be considered lucky.
Zheng Qingluo also followed her gaze. Behind the curtain, there was a pair of blue shoes with cloud patterns embroidered on it. Zheng Qingluo's mouth curved into a smile before she withdrew her gaze.
He then looked at his mistress, who was wearing a light Lotus Robe and a moon-white skirt that was two points shorter. A trace of gloom flashed across her eyes and disappeared in a flash.
"What's the point of saying all this in front of all of you girls? I just want you to be more careful when you go to the banquet, reminding yourself to be dignified and virtuous so that no one can look down on our girl."
"We shall obey mother's teachings."
The three misses bowed in unison as they replied. Qiu's peeked at the inner room, his face full of pride.
"It's good that you know what I mean. You should let all the girls prepare themselves. If there's anything that's missing, let your mother tell me. Don't be so hasty, just panic again."
"Yes, Mother."
The three of them answered in unison.
"It's good that you know. There's nothing else for you to do. You can go and rest."
Qiu's waved her hand, indicating for the young ladies to go down, but unexpectedly, Zheng Qingluo stepped forward, causing Qiu's to have a bad premonition, but after thinking about how docile this girl was normally, she calmed down.
"Qingluo, is there something else?"
Without waiting for Zheng Qingluo to speak, Qiu's went ahead and suppressed her emotions. She had disguised herself and told Zheng Qingluo that she was the one in charge here, so if she wasn't worried, she would have to consider it carefully.
"Mother, I …"
Seemingly unable to open her mouth, Zheng Qingluo glanced at Qiu's timidly, and pinched the kernels in her hands again and again, as if she was no longer afraid.
"If there's anything you need help with, just say it. If Mother can do it, then she will definitely help you."
Qiu's consoled her with a soft voice, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
In the end, her mother had died too early, without any of the bearing of a noble family girl. She had forgotten that she was the one to discipline the young miss.
"Mother, it's Second Sister's birthday next month, so I won't do anything else. I just want to embroider a purse for my sister to express my feelings. Mother … Does it look good? "
"You know how to sew lotus pouches, don't tease me."
Just as Zheng Qingluo opened her mouth, she was stopped by Second Miss Zheng. This time, she was even more at a loss for words.
"Look at how scared you scared your third sister. She was originally timid, but in order to embroider a purse for you, she must have raised a lot of courage to speak to me. You must appreciate this kindness."
She acted as if she was speaking up for Zheng Qingluo, but in reality, her words were directed at Zheng Qingluo because she was too petty and unpresentable. Zheng Qingluo didn't even bother to distinguish between the two and continued to stand there obediently.
"Qingluo, whatever you want to say, just say it. Don't worry about your Second Sister, she has a straightforward temperament. If you have anything to say, say it.
Zheng Qingluo raised her eyes and looked at Second Miss Zheng for a long time before she finally continued.
"I... Although I don't know how to embroider, the skills of the few girls are still sufficient. It's just that I don't have the right fabric, can mother help me pick the right material to make a wad of wad for Second Sister? "
He lowered his head in panic, his eyes quietly looking into the room. It's good that you're here, even if you don't want to show it when your own daughter is here, I won't be merciful when I use you.
Qiu's raised her eyebrows and stared straight at Zheng Qingluo's face. She wanted to see what tricks she was trying to pull, but unfortunately, the one she was still looking at was the weak Third Miss Zheng.
Under her gaze, Zheng Qingluo did not know where to put her hands and feet, the hand that was holding onto the kernels was shaking non-stop, her lips were also starting to bite, and was suffused with a faint white light.
Qiu's's eyebrows finally loosened. She was just a girl who had never seen the world and wanted to curry favor with her daughter. Qiu's raised his hand and gave the orders.
"Mama Pan, you can go to the warehouse to pick out two green silk materials. The colors should be a little brighter, something suitable for a girl's family. Get Luo Man to bring it to Third Miss.
"Yes, Madam. This servant will be going now."
Although the Mama Pan didn't know why the Madam was so generous, he immediately followed orders. No one could offend the Madam if they offended anyone in the household.
The walked the entire way, his mind did not rest at all. After all, he was in front of the Madam, and thus, he had a rather good understanding of the Madam.
When he thought about how the madame didn't like Third Miss at all, not to mention the material, she didn't even want to give him a piece of rag, so much so that all the maidservants in the mansion were flattering her. Only the master was being coaxed by the madame, so he thought the Third Miss was hiding in his yard to eat and drink.
"I never thought that the third young lady would have this kind of heart, I will help you achieve your sisterly relationship. When the ingredients are sent over later, you can slowly ponder over embroidery for your Second Sister."
Qiu's's voice could not hide the joy in his heart, as though he was deeply moved by his sister's love, but the happiness did not reach his eyes, and instead revealed a look of disdain. This girl who was insignificant in his eyes, could not even stab him, if he had thought of something he should not have, then he would have just taken care of her.
"Thank you, Mother! "If there's nothing else, then your daughter will take her leave."
Zheng Qingluo bowed deeply to Qiu's, but she still stood there obediently, waiting for Qiu's to speak. She didn't look like she didn't know the rules at all.
Go, go, go back and have a good rest. Your body is just right, so you don't need to come over for the next few days. Don't go out to dinner.
"Daughter thanks mother for her concern. I will definitely raise her well, so as to not embarrass our family."
Towards this act of the Qiu's, Zheng Qingluo did not have any expression. Her lowered eyelids made it difficult for people to see her expression, and she only felt lucky once again.
"Alright, you can all go now."
After the three sisters had left the room, she stood up and entered the room. The moment she opened the door, a warm smile appeared on her face.
"Old master!"
The madame was glad to be in the room. She stretched out her hand to help Master Zheng, who was standing by the door, onto a carved wooden chair. She then poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Master Zheng.
"Master, you can relax now. Qingluo is fine, it's normal for a child to fall. But, it's only been a few days, and she's already alive and kicking again. You, as a father, are already worrying too much."
Zheng took a sip of tea and put the cup on the square.
You're still saying that I'm worried, but I can tell that you're more worried than I am. Every day, ask Mama Pan to come visit her, and then whisper in my ears a few times.
"This little girl is fortunate to have you as her mother. Otherwise, how could she have lived so smoothly? Even her mother is not much better, and you still have to take care of me, afraid that I might accidentally ruin my position by going to see that little girl."
"Watching me every day and not letting me wander around, even to the point of not being able to personally go see that girl, I can only feel worried and anxious. How can I not see how anxious you are?"
"Gui Fang, I always hear that other people's backyard is in a mess. It's all thanks to you, madam. No matter if it's auntie or the children, nothing bad has happened. It's exactly like what they said earlier."
's face turned slightly red as she said shyly, "How is it worth Master to praise me? I just did my part and it's not worth it to keep it in my mouth."
Prefect Zheng reached out to take his wife's hand and patted it in pity.
"This mansion doesn't seem big, it doesn't seem small. There are too many things I need you to worry about. I can only focus on the affairs of the yamen so peacefully. Isn't it all thanks to you?"
Madam Ye pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything. She lowered her head to look at the small hand that her husband held in his palm. A man's vision was only this great. It was unknown who held whom in his palm.
