Mrs. Xu, the old lady, is in a very good mood recently.

She always likes to be flattered by others, but lately there have been quite a few people flattering her.

The stingy eldest daughter-in-law brings melons and fruits every day, and the honest and dull second daughter-in-law serves her well as before.

Not to mention the two new grandsons-in-law.

She is truly worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Xiaohua family. She has good taste and generous gifts. Within a month after entering the house, even the maids and women who serve her are full of praises.

Compared with them, Sister Fu, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, is somewhat unpopular.

If she hadn't been a girl from the Xu family, I would have beaten her dozens of times!

The whole family chatted and laughed together for nearly an hour, and after almost all they could say, they said goodbye and left.

When they came to the fork in the road, Huan Yu couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that Xiao Bi didn't seem to want to go back to Quanquan Garden, but was planning to go to the second gate.

"Xiaojiu, I haven't heard you say you want to leave the house before?"

Xiao Bi stopped, looked at him and said, "I want to go to my grandfather's yard."

Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to find Mother Zhen?"

"Yes." Xiao Bi said with a smile: "I will never change my impatience in this life. Yun Ling can't be found for a while. I want to ask Zhen's mother first."

Huan Yu took her arm: "Mother Zhen is very tight-lipped, I think you should not waste your breath.

Moreover, she has already been married to Manager Wu and rarely comes to my grandfather’s yard. You may not be able to see her if you go."

Xiao Bi brushed his hand away: "Don't worry about it, I will always find a way to find her."

"What you mean by this is that you don't plan to take me with you?"

Xiao Bi rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not that stupid. What else can I ask if I take you there?"

Huan Yu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

Whenever encountering a critical moment, Xiaojiu will never be confused.

Mother Zhen is the old man next to her mother, and she has taken good care of him for several years. Even though he has all kinds of tricks, he can't use them on her.

Xiaojiu is different.

She only met Zhen's mother once. There was no deep entanglement between the two, and they acted more freely.

"Okay." He straightened Xiao Bi's hairpin and warned, "You don't have to force anything, just do your best."

"I know!" Xiao Bi waved her hand and walked quickly towards the second door with Qingzhao.

Huan Yu looked at her back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He had a hunch that the truth would be revealed soon.

But uncovering the truth does not mean the end of the matter.

What awaits him and Xiaojiu may be even greater trouble.

"Uncle, are we going back to the Quail Garden?" Ying Shui asked.

Huan Yu looked away: "Go back."

Xiao Bi walked very quickly, and she arrived at the old county man's yard in just a cup of tea.

The owner was away, and the surrounding area was much deserted than when she last came.

If it were anyone else, the old man in charge of the gate might not be willing to let her go, but Xiao Bi is the old county man's favorite granddaughter-in-law, so he would not stop her.

"Princess, please." He bowed and saluted, turned sideways and let the master and servant in.

Xiao Bi and Qingzhao walked into the courtyard and went directly to the martial arts training ground.

Still far away, she saw the door of the room where she was used to change and rest open.

She tiptoed and flew directly in that direction.

Qingzhao didn't have that good kung fu, so he could only catch up at a trot.

Xiao Bi came to the door of the hut, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

When the little maid saw that it was her, she called out softly: "Second Young Madam?!"

She didn't dare to delay, so she quickly stood up and came over to greet her: "My slave, please send your regards to the Second Young Madam."

The last time Xiao Bi came to the martial arts training ground, this little maid served tea. She smiled and asked, "Is Mother Zhen here?"

The little maid hurriedly said: "Princess, please come into the house to rest for a while. Mother Zhen is sorting clothes in the inner room. I will go and invite her right away."

The room was not big, but the sound of the two talking had already alerted Zhen's mother inside.

As soon as Xiao Bi walked into the house, she saw her coming out with a smile.

Compared with the last time, Mother Zhen has almost no changes. She is still wearing a plain dress and her hair is neatly pulled up, but the jade hairpin has been replaced by a mutton-fat jade one.

She bowed solemnly: "This slave has met the Second Young Madam."

Xiao Bexu helped her: "Mother Zhen, there's no need to be polite. Let's sit down and talk."

The little maid didn't dare to say anything and quickly served hot tea to the two of them.

Zhen's mother ordered: "Sui'er, you go and greet the sister outside. I will take care of the second young lady."

"Yes." The little maid responded and stepped back, closing the door gently.

Mother Zhen took the teapot and poured hot tea for Xiao Bi, and then asked: "How come the Second Young Madam has time to come here today?"

Xiao Bi smiled slightly and said, "There are some things that I don't quite understand, so I came to ask my mother."

Mother Zhen's hand paused slightly: "I have been living in seclusion for more than ten years, and I don't care about the affairs of the house.

It just so happened that I came here today because of something else, otherwise you might have made this trip in vain.

Therefore, this slave may not be able to answer the Second Young Madam’s questions.”

Xiao Bi's smile gradually deepened: "What I want to ask about is something that happened more than ten years ago. Mother Zhen must know."

Zhen's mother calmly put down the teapot and brought the teacup in front of her: "Second Young Madam, do you want to ask the First Madam about something?"

Xiao Bi praised: "Mom is really extraordinary."

Mother Zhen shook her head: "It's not that there's anything special about me, it's just that you have been very close to the eldest lady recently, which makes people have to think so."

"In this case, my mother simply told me everything, saving me all the trouble and detours."

"Since the Second Young Master came to see the slave in person, she must have asked the Second Young Master, and the slave's answer was still the same.

The early death of the late wife has nothing to do with the people in the county government, it’s because you are too suspicious."

"Is it - is it -" Xiao Bi said in a long tone, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated.

Mother Zhen remained unmoved and said calmly: "Yes, I didn't hide it."

Xiao Bi picked up the tea and took a sip. After a while, she said slowly: "Mother Zhen, do you still remember what you said to me last time?"

"This... you mean..."

"'Now that you have entered the door, you are my new master.' If I remember correctly, this was what my mother said, right?"

Mother Zhen was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer the question.

She did say such things, but wasn't that polite...

Unexpectedly, the Second Young Madam remembered it so clearly, and she still held on to it.

Xiao Bi snorted coldly: "My princess always does what she says, and Mother Zhen should know that a person must mean what she says.

I don't know what the rules were when you were serving your mother.

But now that you have accepted me as your new master, you must follow my rules.

otherwise……"

Mother Zhen really wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

The second young lady is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so she is still a child in her eyes.
