His mother's face was tense. Everyone was living in the inner chamber, so everyone could see who was the capable maid next to his grandmother. Although Red Dew was a first-class servant girl by Grandmother's side, she did not take on the task of pouring tea or taking care of the money. Although Red Dew was a first-class servant girl by Grandmother's side, she did not take on the job of pouring tea or taking care of the money.

His mother looked pleadingly at his father who was standing by the window, but his father only looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window with an unconcerned expression. His grandmother was still crying on the side, saying that his father was unfilial and did not mention anything about his mother.

"Mom, although Hong Lu is a girl, she still has her parents. I have to ask them if they are willing to do that, right?" His mother also wanted to fight back with filial piety, but this time, his mother was afraid that she would be disappointed. Mama Chen loved and protected her daughter so much that she would sacrifice her life to protect Hong Lu.

"What Madam Qing says is right. People like us shouldn't have such oppressive matters towards our children. It's better if we call her mother in to ask." Bullying my children, doesn't this mean that my mother has to force me to marry into the Xue family? Only my grandmother would be able to say such words.

Moments later, Mommy Chen was called into Grandmother's inner room. She entered the house and saw Hong Lu kneeling in front of her mother. Moments later, Mommy Chen's expression turned ugly. She resentfully glared at Hong Lu before kneeling in front of Grandmother. I smiled in my heart. Mama Chen's plans were in vain, and my mother's plan was probably wrong. On the way here, she didn't tell Mommy why she was here, it was to catch her off guard.

Grandmother smilingly asked, "Are you Red Dew's mother?"

Mother Chen answered politely, "Yes, this servant indeed."

Grandmother's expression became even more benevolent. "Hong Lu has always been a steady child. Now that old master is missing a person, your wife is kind and wants to ask you to be our master." Although her tone was soft, it didn't mean her attitude was soft. Grandmother was the matriarch of the household, and even her amiable tone carried a bit of sternness. Otherwise, the grandpa's aunts would still be working respectfully in front of her.

Mama Chen lowered her head and said, "My family is decided by the Old Granny." Mommy Chen is a wise woman, a wise man is wise, it is impossible for her not to offend either side. Once she enters the house, she will understand that I have added fuel to the fire.

"I'll treat Madam to a cup of tea." Red Dew's sweet voice rang out at the right time. His mother's face was so dark that it was as if she could hear the sound of her teeth grinding in the dark.

His mother took a sip of the tea and threw it back onto the tray with a 'dang lang' sound. The tea splattered all over the table and her face was covered with tea. She didn't dare to wipe it.

Sometimes, his mother would act young. This Red Dew was already his father's family that his grandmother had bestowed upon him. If she did this, wouldn't it be giving her grandmother no face?

Grandma only smiled as if she didn't care at all. She instructed Hong Lu, "From now on, please serve your old master well." As she said this, she took the red packet from her mother's hands. Hong Lu quickly knelt down and picked up the tray. Grandmother passed another bag of silver to Mama Chen. Hong Lu and Mama Chen kowtowed to thank her.

I only said 'serve the old master', but I didn't say 'serve the lady'. If I didn't listen carefully and didn't discover it, I chuckled to myself.

After exiting my grandmother's room, I escorted my mother and father to the door. My mother walked quickly ahead of us, with Hong Lu barely able to follow behind. Coupled with the tea that my mother had just spilled, her hair was plastered all over her smooth and clean forehead.

"Master, Master!" A panting little girl ran out from Grandmother's house, and all of us stopped in our tracks.

"Master, the old lady told you to rest here for a few days because she hasn't had a good talk with you in years." "The little girl's voice is very clear." The old lady also said that she would ask the madam to pack up the master's bed and send it over, in case the master was not used to it. The little girl said the first half of the sentence, but her mother was already very unhappy. When she finished, her mother's face contorted in anger. She only let out a "hmph" before leaving with her servant girl.

It seemed like Grandmother was anxious to hug her grandson. She would slap her mother's face just like that to help Red Dew. If he could not grab hold of such an opportunity, he would not stand a chance in this family.

After returning to the courtyard, Lu Ping helped me take a bath. However, she kept an absent-minded appearance, constantly adding petals to the bath barrel. Initially, I didn't want to blame her, but who would have thought that she didn't have any intention of stopping at all.

"Are you trying to bury me alive with petals?" I asked helplessly.

Lu Ping stared blankly for a moment and quickly understood what was going on. With a reddened face, she took the bag of petals and stood to the side.

Because he had so many flower petals, his body had a strong fragrance after bathing. Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, it was difficult for him to fall asleep. Lu Ping's voice came from the darkness, "Miss, what do you think will happen to Red Dew?"

What would happen next? How do I say it, who knows if she will be noble or unflattering in the future? Since ancient times, wealth and splendor had always been at risk. Even those who were born with great wealth would find it difficult to ensure that they would have a good end to their lives. The woman's body was like duckweed, moving up and down with the events of the world.

"Probably." I tried to keep my tone light, but the helplessness and confusion in my heart couldn't be hidden.

In the dark, I heard the sighing of Lu Ping. After a while, I also fell into a dream, in which I was hugging a child, who giggled and called out to my mother, while I held his hand and brought him to fly a kite with me. He kept running forward, and suddenly fell down, and I rushed forward to pick him up and gently dusted off the dust on his body, gently coaxing him.

"Miss, it's time to wake up." When Lu Ping cried out, I opened my eyes and smiled. Could it be that there were some things that improved in my life and the things that happened in my previous life also became a lot better?

After drinking a cup of warm tea, he immediately felt comfortable. Looking out of the window, the bright sunlight shined through the trees, reflecting a dazzling light. It really was a peaceful time, and such a life of thin ice would soon come to an end, right?

After changing her clothes, she said, "Lu Ping, let's go!"
