C62 Foolish beyond measure

Seeing the little girl run away, Master Zheng's heart tightened. Look, the satisfaction of a child is that simple.

He used the kernels to clean himself carefully, then folded the kernels and stuffed it into his clothes. Master Zheng thought that he must take this piece of kernels carefully and use it as a mirror.

No matter what happened in the future, he would have to see it with his own eyes. After hearing it with his own ears, he kept the kernels s and hugged the clothes tightly to smooth out the emotions in his heart. Master Zheng entered Songtao Academy steadily.

"Old master!" Luo Qing was waiting in the courtyard, when he saw Master Zheng enter the courtyard. He anxiously welcomed him.

"How is your wife?" Master Zheng did not immediately enter the main house, but instead asked about Madame Zheng's condition. Master Zheng had always been concerned about Madam, but Luo Qing did not notice anything amiss.

"Luckily, the doctor saw it. It was nothing important. It was just a fit of anger that made me faint. He left a few batches of medicine for me to recuperate for a few days."

After speaking, Luo Qing moved to the side and made way for the Master Zheng, "Old master, you should hurry up and go in to take a look. The Madam is waiting for you." Master Zheng's footsteps became a little hesitant.

"Master, you've returned. Madam is waiting for you." Inside the house, Luo Man had already heard the conversation in the courtyard. He hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out, welcoming Master Zheng in.

She also glanced at Luo Qing along the way, wondering what was wrong with the girl today. When the old master came back, he did not welcome her into his house immediately, but instead waited in the courtyard.

"Master — —" Hearing the Master Zheng's voice when he entered the room, the Qiu's who was on the bed in the room immediately choked with emotions. However, he did not see the hatred on the Madame Zheng's face, which caused her entire face to twist in fear.

"Madam." Master Zheng walked into the room within a few steps. On the bed, he saw Madame Zheng lying on it, his head was covered with a wet and hot cotton towel. His face had an abnormal red flush, and his expression was filled with unspeakable grievance.

"How does Madame feel?" Master Zheng reached out and touched his face that was still smooth and gentle. The touch did not have much warmth, which meant that he did not have a fever.

Even if he wanted to interrogate her, she was still a husband and wife for more than ten years. Master Zheng still didn't want to embarrass her again when she was sick.

"Master, don't worry about me for now. You should worry about our daughter first. This is impossible, the imperial edict must have been read incorrectly. Have you personally read the imperial edict? It doesn't say 'our young and tender', does it?"

Madame Zheng immediately cried when she mentioned this. She really felt wronged, how could a motherless child marry better than her daughter, it was simply unreasonable.

"As soon as the imperial edict was read out, you gave it to Qingluo. I didn't even give her a glance; you really don't take me seriously. She must have noticed that the imperial edict isn't her name."

"Master, you can't be fooled by this girl. This girl has always been someone who doesn't worry, in Weir Prefecture, it's just a bad luck for me to be by her side, or else, who knows what kind of trouble she will cause."

"Of course, on her return home, with the support of the madame, she did not even acknowledge me as her mother." Of course, on her return home, with the support of the madame, she did not even recognize me as her mother.

"Tell me, who would be such a daughter? I am her mother after all, and I have been taking care of her all these years in the Weir Prefecture. This disrespect to my mother is simply unfilial."

Seeing that the Master Zheng still refused to speak, the Madame Zheng carefully looked at his expression. He didn't seem to be impatient at all.

"Master, it's not like I don't want Qingluo to enjoy life. You know me, I'm not that kind of person. Since she was young, what matter hasn't I followed her lead? Did it go against her will?"

"Even if she doesn't want to learn zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, I'll leave her to her." Even if she doesn't want to learn zither, calligraphy, and painting, I'll let her handle it, afraid that she'll be unhappy.

But even so, I was still unable to get her to say that I was a good person, because this is not my biological daughter, so I have to be careful of everything. I'm just afraid that she might say that I don't treat her well, but the result is that I've put my heart out.

So, it turned out that the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were all minor flaws in her eyes. How could she let Qing Jiao and Qing Yan learn them? Didn't she not want to learn them in the beginning?

She remembered running all day to play with her temper in front of him, only to be able to learn it later. It was because she was led to a banquet at someone else's house and discovered that the young ladies of the other families were competing with each other.

They were afraid of being laughed at by others, so they gritted their teeth and persevered. However, what they learnt was just a little bit of stuff.

The tears in Madame Zheng's eyes finally flowed down. Luo Man took out a thin silk cloth and helped Madame Zheng wipe her tears off. His face that had some tears on it now looked even more charming and gentle.

"Master, I'm not asking her to be grateful to me, as long as she doesn't hate me. I've done what a mother should do, but this time, I've really gone too far."

"Our family's young girl is the first daughter of a direct descendant, just at the age when she's about to be married. How could the emperor give this marriage to Third Miss, who hasn't grown old for two years yet? That's impossible, there's definitely been a mistake."

"Master, which family do you think would marry their younger sister before their eldest sister decided which family she belonged to? Isn't that against the rules? Regardless of the eldest, wouldn't that be a mess?"

"So, old master, you must personally go and take a look. If the imperial edict says our Qing Jiao's name, and we don't discover it, it will be a great crime of deceiving the ruler. Old master, this cannot be done carelessly."

Because the Madame Zheng had fainted, he did not know that the Seventh Prince had already personally come here.

She had once deceived him in such a gentle and soft manner, using her kind heart to do things that hurt him. He had truly been blind at that time.

Madame Zheng was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'm not saying, he must have read it wrongly. I just want you to take a look and confirm the name on the imperial decree."

"If the imperial edict truly says so, then we will think of other ways. For example, master, you gave us a note to report that you have a daughter of the eldest son in our family. How can we decide on a daughter first and make her change her imperial edict so that she won't be laughed at by others?"

In the Wu Xia Country, only this foolish woman, who dared to mock the Emperor, would dare to say such words.

Normally, when she talked to him, she was not as stupid or shallow as he used to be. Perhaps, he was also so stupid in the past.

"Qingluo's marriage is set for now. We won't delay Qingluo and find a wife for her. We can hurry from now on. A year's time is enough for Qingluo to find a husband for her. Madam, you don't need to be in such a hurry."

"How could he not be anxious? That's the Seventh Prince, the most beloved prince of the emperor." His answer was too straightforward. The moment he said it, Madame Zheng knew that he was worried and quickly tried to find a way to make up for it.

"What I mean is, if Qingluo doesn't even know the most basic zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting, how could she be worthy of the Seventh Prince? If she were to marry into the Seventh Prince, wouldn't that embarrass us Zheng Mansion?"

Madame Zheng, who was being looked at with an unfamiliar gaze by Master Zheng, had goosebumps. Madame Zheng did not know how to react for a while, "Master, I … What did I say wrongly? "

His mind quickly recalled what he had said just now. He didn't feel like there was anything wrong with it, or was there something wrong with his expression? Madame Zheng subconsciously touched his face.

"Didn't Madam just say that Qingluo's calligraphy and painting, as well as her needlework, aren't all that big of a deal? It's just some minor flaws, so why are you saying that she can't get married now?"

Madame Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. So this was the reason. Luckily, she did not explain in a hurry. Otherwise, she would have made a mistake in that rush.

"Master, the reason why I said those are all small flaws is because I wanted to find a family with a lower door for Qingluo. That way, they wouldn't dare to underestimate our Qingluo."
