Spring Peaches had come to my side to serve me, but I sent her back. Later on, I asked Lu Ping, although Spring Peaches received the name of a second class maid, she still wholeheartedly did what she had done before. Some people came to congratulate her, and some people were jealous of her gossip behind her back. She seemed indifferent, as if she didn't care, and only wanted to guard the courtyard for me to go back.

"A dim, drowsy thought appeared as an orange light was slowly moved to the front of the tent." Miss, are you awake? " "It is Lu Ping who has come to cry out." "I'm already awake, come in." Lu Ping lifted the curtain. It was still dark outside. When Lu Ping saw that I did not immediately get up, she smiled and said, "It's already morning. Due to the snow falling outside, it seems to be especially dark." Recently, it has been snowing heavily. My father went to Fringe City half a month ago to check with the shopkeepers at a few stores. Since then, he hasn't come back. Grandmother looked as usual every day, raising birds and growing flowers. It was unknown if there was any news of her father.

I changed my clothes and looked at myself in the mirror. I wore a turtledove bun on my head and a golden jade ornament on top of my head. I wore two red rubies on each side of my hair, and a pair of golden jade butterflies on each side of my hair. I wore a red silk blouse with rich flowers embroidered on it, and I wore a peach robe with magpie flowers embroidered all over it, and a blue and red plum poncho skirt under it, and thick red satin shoes on my feet. I couldn't help but frown at the sight of her beautiful appearance, I didn't understand what she was thinking, and said in a low voice, "I'm glad to be home today, old lady."

"Well, Grandmother bribed you with a single word!" I laughed and teased Lina.

"It's all thanks to xiaojie's guidance!" She understood that I was just teasing her and replied with a smile.

When I entered my grandmother's room, all the girls in the room were dressed in green and red, very lively. When they saw me coming in, they came over to greet me, and I smiled at them, but didn't give them any money. It was my grandmother's rule that the money should be given away on the first day of the new year.

"Alright, alright, you guys are afraid that the young miss won't reward you?" Hong Lu's face was filled with joy as she fought with the little girls. She helped me to knock on the curtain and welcomed me in.

It turned out that all the tables and chairs in Grandmother's room had been replaced with black lacquer, and were suffused with a layer of faint light. On the table and chairs, there was a red cloth with a shallow gold stripe on the bottom, and the flags were placed on top of the tables and chairs. All the decorations in the Bogu shelf had also been changed, and even the curtains had been replaced with the festive patterns of hundreds of birds embroidered with red satin.

Her mother was sitting in a nearby chair, wearing a red coat over her head. On the top of her head was an ice jade collar, beneath which was an embroidered gown of silk and gold silk, and on her feet was a ginger-yellow embroidered shoe. She talked quietly to her grandmother about the family.

"Grandmother, mother." I entered the door to pay my respects. Grandmother's expression remained the same, but my mother's eyes had a faint green tinge to them. It was obvious that she hadn't had a good rest.

"Is father not back yet?" I asked after sitting down and taking a sip of tea.

"He came back last night, so he came to rest in the outer court." His mother's eyes were a little red, and she lowered her head to drink her tea.

"Then I'll pay my respects to father." I looked up at my mother, who seemed not to be paying attention but was listening attentively. It seemed that she had yet to see her father, which meant that he had brought with him the information that she wanted to know.

"Who are the people from the outer court?" "You want to go to the outer court!" My grandmother had never spoken to me so harshly. I made an uneasy face, and it seemed that my grandmother was not as calm as she appeared to be.

If you're free, go see Aunt Wang. After the new year, she will go to the manor." "Grandmother's tone was rather helpless. She glanced at her mother, but there was no smile on her face. Was this result worse than her mother's, or was it not in accordance with her mother's wishes?

If he wanted to know the answer to these questions, the best way would be to ask the person himself.

I brought Lu Ping back to the house. She asked, "Does Miss want to change her clothes?"

"Give me the usual jacket." "No," I said. "Hurry up and take this body of labor, it's really too much of a burden!"

"Miss, aren't you going to the concubine's?"

"Grandmother only said that she wanted me to meet her, she didn't say that she wanted me to go to her place." In the end, she was still his biological daughter. Now that she had returned to his grandmother's side, he naturally had to protect her. This way, some news wouldn't leak out.

"Find Mama Chen and have her invite the concubine over." He took off the hairpin and wore only a small coat made of three pieces of cloth. He was lying on the brick bed, feeling indescribably comfortable.

"Miss, you want Mommy Chen to go find Aunt?" Lu Ping's eyes widened. She almost couldn't believe that I had actually sent my mother's men to fetch the concubine.

"You still don't believe me, your little miss!" I said smugly to Green Pingping.

"Of course!" Lu Ping turned around and left.

Not long after, Chen mama and Lu Ping followed behind Aunt Wang into the house. She wore a green lute sleeves top and a white water striped poncho skirt. She looked delicate and pretty, but also a bit haggard.

When she saw me lying on the bed, she paused for a moment. I was normally well-dressed and standing or sitting properly, but today I was casually leaning on my pillow.

"Eldest Miss" 's aunt was blessed, her eyes were red, and she felt wronged in her heart! The original wife of the Guan family had returned to her own home to live in the name of an aunt. She was to be sent to the manor by her own aunt, bowing to her daughter and treating her as her master.

"Aunt, please get up." There were some things that could not be forgiven but could not be taken lightly. In the end, she was still a mother, but she was also a pitiful person. She had no choice but to float along with the matters of the world.

"I heard that Aunt is going to stay at my mother's house for a few days?"

"I'm going to the old lady's villa to recuperate." She lowered her eyebrows as she replied, but her words were filled with confidence.

So it was like that. No wonder even though Aunt Wang had left, her mother didn't look happy at all. Then why didn't Grandmother let her see her father?
