Thinking about that, Madame Zheng looked at Zheng Qingluo, glared at her fiercely, and continued to criticize her in her heart. And that account book, could you let me see it, she still did not know how to explain the amount of money on the account.

"Master, why are you so willing to let the madame suffer such a strain? That silver coins are tiring, and I know best how it works. I'm not trying to please you."

Why did she say that she would only do it, after being persuaded to stay, and then snatch over the Zheng Mansion? Her mother wanted her to see the face of the woman next to her clearly, and even wanted her to fight for her.

When his mother had said that he would be left alone, wouldn't it have been fine if he had just accepted it? To actually do such a thing as lifting a rock to smash his own foot, just thinking about it was truly shameful.

He himself was even more foolish. He actually guarded such an ignorant and foolish woman. Like a treasure, he had been through many years. Were his colleagues all secretly laughing at him? Yet he was still unaware of it.

With the old master's words, Madame Zheng did not have anything else to say. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh.

Alright, since everything has been said, let's go our separate ways. That's right, after being interrupted by the two of you just now, I forgot to arrange a place for Qingjiao and Qingyan. Let's go live in Gui Hua Hall and Lingyan Pavilion respectively.

The Madame Zheng was completely deflated and did not say a word. However, the old master replied to Old Madam Zheng seriously, "Listen to mother's arrangements, we will head down now. Mother, please take a rest first. We will come over for dinner."

From start to finish, Zheng Qingluo didn't say a word other than berating Mo Lun. She just watched the scene quietly. She didn't expect it to have such a good effect.

He had worn his clothes today before he had returned to the capital, and had carefully studied them. She had even secretly asked Mo Lai to give the money she had earned from embroidering the lotus pouches to the Mama Pan to be kept by him.

He was worried that something might happen when he returned to the residence. He didn't expect that everything he had planned would be used. What surprised him the most was that there was actually an old mistress protecting him at home.

It was really out of his expectation. He had planned to make use of this day to come back and figure out what kind of effect he would get.

In the end, without her having to make a move, Madam Zheng had already helped her out. Zheng Qingluo's dissatisfaction eased a lot when she saw the old man's teary eyes, who was a little helpless and a little disappointed at the same time.

Perhaps, his future life would not be as bad as he imagined. After all, if someone wanted to protect him, his life would be easier.

In the following days, everything became as expected. Madam Zheng arranged the courtyard for Zheng Qingluo and matched her with two big girls, four little girls, and two bullies.

"Qingluo, tell Grandmother that this will be our own home from now on. You are the manager's daughter in our house, no one will lose out on you if they lose, do you understand?" You can't let yourself be wronged. "

Old Madam Zheng lovingly patted the back of Zheng Qingluo's hand. This child was a bit too thin. Where would he find so much flesh on her hand? Old Madam Zheng sighed in her heart.

After all, he had delayed his child for nine years. It was time for his body to grow, so he didn't know if he could make up for it or not. Madam Zheng was truly regretful. How could she believe her son's words?

Now that he thought about it, when his son insisted on Qingluo following him to Weir Prefecture, it should have been because of this woman.

"Got it, thank you Grandmother!" Zheng Qingluo thanked him politely. Madam Zheng had the illusion that this kind of etiquette was definitely not taught to her by that woman.

Since Qingluo was locked up in the residence all day, she did not even have the chance to see the face of an outsider. Then, it would be natural for her to be married into a good family, and Qingluo's noble etiquette would definitely be inherited from the Chiang, it would not be a loss for her to be raised by a rich family.

"Qingluo, this is the silver that your mother had saved for you when you were in Weir Prefecture. It was a total of 680 taels of silver.

Madam Zheng handed over a golden and red wooden box to Zheng Qingluo. She opened it and found several silver ingots inside. On top of them was a stack of silver notes. There weren't many, just a few.

"There are a total of 650 taels of silver banknotes. Six sheets of notes worth 100 taels of silver each. One sheet is 50 taels of silver. There are 5 and 10 taels of silver on the banknotes. I was afraid that you would be in a hurry to use them, so I left 50 taels of silver for you." Madam Zheng pointed to the silver ingot.

"Grandmother, I have food and shelter now, so I don't need this money. You can keep it for me first. If I have money, I'll ask you for it." Zheng Qing placed the box on top of the box and pushed it back.

"You silly child, it's only a few taels of silver. If you want to spend it, you can use a few pieces of clothing and a few pieces of jewelry, but Grandmother doesn't need to keep them for you."

As she said this, she remembered that due to her stepmother's harsh treatment, she hadn't spent a single cent of the money herself. Madam Zheng's eyes were unbearably moist. She touched Zheng Qingluo's hair, her heart aching to the extreme.

"You said that you're the manager lady of the Zheng Mansion, but you didn't even spend a single silver coin? Who would believe that such a heartless woman is only a child? She really has the heart to do this."

Thinking about the little girl in front of her, who had been trapped in a dilapidated courtyard for ten years without being able to eat her fill or get warm, Madam Zheng hated the Madame Zheng even more.

Even now, the madame could not believe that her son had such a poor eyesight. It was one or two years without being able to see it clearly, and it was one thing for her to not be able to recognize it.

"Grandmother, it's alright. I'm used to it."

Yes, he was already used to it. If he wasn't used to it, then wouldn't that mean that this child had already disappeared and would never appear in front of him again?

Just thinking about it made Madam Zheng's heart ache, and she blamed herself even more. She blamed herself for not being able to persevere in the past, for not being clear about her people, and for mistaking this Lovers Index.

"I have wronged you. Qingluo, I want to know what she will do to you. I won't let Ming Rui take you away no matter what. It's just that, no matter how much Grandmother says, it can't be saved."

"Qingluo, as well as the dowry your mother left for you, I have given it to you." Qingluo, as well as the dowry your mother left for you, I have given it to you.

Zheng Qingluo secretly laughed inside her heart after hearing this. She didn't show it on the surface, but her heart was full of joy.

However, Grandmother will give you a key, and I will also give you a copy of the dowry list. Once you have aged, Grandmother will return the key to you, and the dowry will be taken care of by yourself.

Madam Zheng asked cautiously, afraid that Zheng Qingluo would have any ideas. After all, she had suffered too much in Weir Prefecture, so she was worried that this grandson of hers would be cautious of her.

"Very well, thank you, Grandmother!"

With Madam Zheng looking at her dowry, Zheng Qingluo didn't have anything to worry about. From the moment they entered the mansion, Zheng Qingluo had started to change her mind.

If she had known that Madam Zheng loved her so much, Zheng Qingluo would have asked her grandmother for help a long time ago. If that was the case, who knew if it would be her turn to be reborn?

After eating dinner with Madam Zheng, Zheng Qingluo returned to her own courtyard. Every day, she would pass out in the morning. Zheng Qingluo did everything with ease. After all, this was an important part of the day at Hou Mansion.

And now, she only went to the Old Mistress' courtyard early, middle and late every day, because Madam Zheng did not have to pay her respects to the Madame Zheng anymore, so that woman was not worthy.
