Zheng Qingyan didn't know why, but it was as if her hatred for Zheng Qingluo was innate. Every time she saw her, Zheng Qingyan would always want to bully her.

If time was reversed, and things could be repeated, her foot would still stretch out. But this time, she had to put in all her strength so that bitch wouldn't have a chance to retaliate.

"Grandmother!" Zheng Qingluo did not expect Old Madam Zheng to actually wait for her in front of Cixi Hall's gates. She lifted the hem of her skirt and jogged all the way to Old Madam Zheng's side.

Old Mistress Zheng narrowed her eyes and smiled, but her words were reprimanding her. "Quickly put down your skirt. You're already so old, yet you're still so careless."

Zheng Qingluo took Madam Zheng's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, no matter how big Qingluo is, she's still your granddaughter. In front of you, I'll always be a child."

"What are you pretending to be innocent for?" Zheng Qingyan snorted coldly, and Old Madam Zheng immediately cast her gaze over. Zheng Qingyan curled his lips, took half a step back, and did not dare to say another word.

Madam Zheng had the right to speak whether or not he could marry into the palace. She still didn't dare to offend her grandmother, but after she entered the mansion, it was hard to say.

Madam Zheng was also full of thoughts. She was also her granddaughter, how could the disparity between them be so huge? It looks like her mother's personality was still the same. Thinking about this, her gaze towards Qiu's became even more disgusted and disgusted.

Regarding Zheng Qingyan's attitude, Qingluo pretended not to see it, and still held onto Old Madam Zheng's arm, "Grandmother, let's go inside the house to talk. Look at what good thing I've brought back for you."

When Qingluo let her grandmother into the house, Madame Zheng and her two daughters followed behind, also wanting to follow. However, Old Madam Zheng turned around and looked at Madame Zheng, "Weren't you grounded, why did you come out today?"

There was not a bit of kindness in her tone. The Old Mistress hated Qiu's from the bottom of her heart, when she was still a servant, she would say that she knew how to do things.

When she climbed all the way up to the position of concubine and stepwife, Madam Zheng knew that she was not satisfied. But by then, her son was already in the woman's grasp, so no matter how much she tried to stop him, it was useless.

She had already started to dislike this woman in her heart, but it wasn't to the point of detest her. It wasn't until they returned from Weir Prefecture that Madam Zheng found out what she had done to her granddaughter.

"Mother …" Madame Zheng had just opened her mouth, "Call the old madam." Old Mistress Zheng had blocked her path with just a few words. Anyone could call her mother, but she didn't know if she would be able to do so.

"Yes, madame …" Madame Zheng's face turned red from the scolding, but she was unable to do anything about it. "The Old Master said that Qingluo will return home today, and I won't go and welcome her. Since I don't have any face, she released me from my confinement and let me relax for a day."

Madame Zheng answered obediently. Her two daughters, who were standing behind her, took a step back at the same time and increased the distance between them. This action, in the eyes of Old Madam Zheng, made her even more disappointed in them.

Whether she treated this person well or not depended on her character. After all, she was just a daughter-in-law. Even if she did everything well, she still had a reason to pick on her mistakes, not to mention, she wasn't that good.

However, to his children, she was his own mother. No matter how bad she was, she was still his own mother. Other people would despise her, but not his daughter.

Furthermore, this was even a mother who had always been planning for them. No matter how vicious and heartless Qiu's was, it had to be said that as a mother, she was still qualified. Zheng Qingjiao's and Zheng Qingyan's actions really caused one's heart to turn cold.

"Oh, since Ming Rui has released you, then you should just relax and go for a stroll in the back garden. I'll talk to Qing Luo for a while, so I won't be accompanying you."

You want to enter my Cixi Hall? You're dreaming! Go ahead and go. As long as you don't wander in front of my eyes, I'll be satisfied.

"Madame …" Madame Zheng was very persistent, she still wanted to fight for a bit more, but Zheng Qingluo pursed her lips and laughed secretly. Going to the backyard in such a cold weather, she would either be crazy or stupid.

From the looks of it, her grandmother truly did not like this person. Yet, she still chose to step forward. Truly, she did not have the eyes of her own, and thus brought disgrace upon herself. Thus, she could not blame others for looking down on her.

"It's a cold day and there's nothing to see in the garden." Madame Zheng weakly looked at the Old Mistress. She didn't know if she really didn't understand her words, or if she pretended not to.

But the old lady thought, it's not like this, otherwise I would have told you to go there and cool off. "Oh, if you don't want to go to the back garden because of the cold, go to the kitchen and see how the lunch is going."

"Today, Seventh Prince is returning to our Zheng Mansion's doorstep, wait on carefully, don't make any mistakes." Old Mistress Zheng continued to instruct her. In any case, he couldn't allow her to enter his Cixi Hall, otherwise he would have to clean the courtyard with water.

"My lady, it won't be easy for Qingluo to come back as soon as she marries into the palace. As a mother, I should at least accompany her for a day, right? "I don't know when we'll meet again." Madame Zheng did have the face to tell someone about their relationship, but there had to be someone who was willing to listen.

Mother, what did your mother do for us, Qingluo? Did you let her eat her fill, or did she wear warm clothes? Was it for her to learn zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting?

Being humiliated again and again, no matter how thick-skinned Madame Zheng was, he couldn't stay any longer. She could only awkwardly bow and say, "Then my daughter-in-law will leave first. Old madam can rest assured that lunch will definitely be prepared well."

Before he left, he didn't forget to look at his two daughters deeply, telling them to keep their eyes on him. He wanted to see what the grandfather and grandson had said, and see if Zheng Qingluo had brought back any gifts for him.

Seeing that annoying person had finally left, Madam Zheng's face lit up. "Let's go, let's go. My good granddaughter, let grandma have a good look and see if she's fatter or thinner. Have you eaten enough to sleep well?"

With Qingluo supporting her arm, Old Madam Zheng happily walked back to her house, talking to Qingluo while walking. Qingluo was also responding to her questions, and the two of them had a good chat.

Zheng Qingjiao and Zheng Qingyan looked at each other, and then followed her into the Cixi Hall. Old Madam Zheng did not say anything, after all, these two young ladies were the flesh and blood of the Zheng Mansion, and although they were born from that unknown object, they were truly her son's flesh and blood.

"We're all family, how can you be so courteous? Come, sit, sit." As soon as they entered the main house, Qingluo was about to kowtow to Madam Zheng. How could Madame Zheng be willing to do so? She shouted for Qingluo to sit down.

She insisted on kowtowing, and it was with the look in her eyes that she saw her princess consort's insistence that she took out a cushion and laid it out on the side. She actually kowtowed to Old Madam Zheng and paid her respects, which was the end of the matter.

"Qingluo, when you entered the mansion, I wonder if you're used to it. That mansion has a lot of people, who's in charge of the backyard? Is anyone bullying you?"

As soon as she sat down, Madam Zheng grabbed onto Qingluo's hand and asked impatiently. In the past three days, she had been worrying about her granddaughter being bullied. There was no one in the house that could help her.

There is nothing that I'm not used to, the Prince's Mansion is just some expensive things, it's not urgent at all, how could I not be used to it, and there are not many people. Grandmother, there are only princes living in the Prince Yi's Mansion, there is no way to cause trouble, all the people inside are from the Inner Palace, and as for the rules, no one dares to give me a hard time.

"The harem was originally managed by two mama, and they were old people from the previous palace. When the prince was at the palace, he served by her side, and once I entered, the books and cards were handed over. Now, the harem is in charge, do you think anyone can bully me?"

Qing Luo did not want to worry her grandmother, so she had only said it out loud. However, she did not dare to tell her grandmother that the two of them were here to provoke them. Furthermore, Zheng Qingjiao and Zheng Qingyan were here as well.

"That's good, that's good. Grandmother is relieved now, I'm just afraid that if you go to the manor at such a young age, someone will bully you. Since you're in charge of the manor yourself, then no one will bully you, but you still have to be careful of those people, because the manor is not an easy place to manage."

Qingluo kept nodding her head. Only her closest family would worry about her like this. Even if they left out the slightest mistake, they were afraid that she would suffer a loss.

"Hurry up and move the snacks over." After chatting with Qingluo for a while, Old Madam Zheng realized that her granddaughter had not eaten the dessert that she prepared for her granddaughter.

"Qingluo, hurry up and try it. This is your favorite dessert when you were at home. Grandmother had someone prepare it in the morning. See if it's tasty?"

A favorite snack? Actually, Qingluo didn't really like the snacks in the Zheng Mansion. Her true favorite was actually the Hibiscus cake she had eaten at the empress dowager's place. It was just that no one in the Zheng Mansion knew about it.

"Take this one. It looks better." Then, she handed the piece of dessert to Qingluo with the help of the kernels. Madam Zheng looked at it with her beautiful eyes.

Seeing Old Madam Zheng's love for Zheng Qingluo, Zheng Qingjiao and Zheng Qingyan's eyes revealed a trace of anger. It was all because of this Zheng Qingluo, if it wasn't for her, how could the two sisters fall to such a position.
