Chapter 240: Chapter 141: Strong for Mother (Third Update)
Soon after, Old Mada Gu was astonished.
Who would have thought, this downtrodden daughter-in-law has such excellent culinary skills, far surpassing the cooks of the manor!
Mada Yao complinted, “It took a lot of practice to dare to present this to Mother, I hope you won’t mind.”
Everyone in the room was flabbergasted. Did they hear correctly? These words really ca from the mistress?
Despite Mada Yao’s humble origin, she possessed great dignity, never willing to act as submissively as Second Concubine Ling.
Mada Gu was pleased with Mada Yao’s attitude. Combined with her poor appetite from injury, Mada Yao’s snacks were unexpectedly appetizing.
Mada Yao said softly, “Mother, let massage you to relieve the aches, dispersing the bruise will make you feel better. Yanyan often feels uncomfortable, and I have massaged him. The royal physician even complinted my technique.”
Old Mada Gu, who was in great pain, was hesitant, but ultimately let her give it a try.
Mada Yao was not idle these years in taking care of Gu Yan, her massage techniques were in fact quite excellent, much more skilled compared to the young maidservants of the manor.
Even if the house physicians could give massages, however, it was always awkward given their difference in gender.
Where Mada Yao had massaged, Old Madam Gu indeed felt a lesser pain.
She felt relieved. With Mada Yao behaving like a dutiful daughter-in-law, there was finally so satisfaction of being a mother-in-law.
“Mother, I’ve considered Chenglin’s matter.”
The mont Old Mada Gu heard Mada Yao bring up Gu Chenglin, her expression turned solemn.
Gu Chenglin was beaten by her daughter to this state, and got grounded in the ancestral hall by the Boss due to the matter with Gu Yan.
Does she have the nerve to bring it up?!
Mada Yao said, “When Yanyan returns ho tonight, I will speak to him about releasing Chenglin. I will explain to him that Yanyan is not seriously hurt anymore.”
Indeed, Yanyan is already up and about, while Gu Chenglin, who was beaten rcilessly by Gu Jiao, can’t even get up till now.
Old Mada Gu was relieved. While it was true that she despised Mada Yao’s child, the most pressing matter now was to free her precious grandson.
Your words might not persuade Gu Changqing, but if the victim himself didn’t pursue the matter, he couldn’t continue punishing Gu Chenglin, could he?
Old Mada Gu suspiciously asked, “Why are you suddenly being so submissive?”
Mada Yao regretfully said, “I have seen the error of my ways. I was not fulfilling my responsibilities as a daughter-in-law all these years, causing you distress. Soon, Yanyan and Jiaojiao will grow up, we may still need your support.”
Sorry, Jiaojiao, your mother needs to use you as a bargaining chip for now.
A thousand ways may fail, but flattering will never.
“It’s good that you are aware,” Old Mada Gu withdrew her skeptical gaze.
When Second Concubine Ling arrived to pay her respects, she was caught off guard by the harmonious sight of Old Mada Gu and Mada Yao.
She was taken aback—flabbergasted, almost unable to believe her own eyes.
As she was about to step forward, Mada Yao turned back, signaling her to keep quiet.
Mada Yao slowly rose, pulling up the quilt to cover Old Mada Gu, softly laying down the curtain.
Second Concubine Ling was left wordless, restrained from speaking. After all, she couldn’t wake the resting old Mada up.
“I’ll co to serve mother later,” Mada Yao said to the maidservants in the room. Turning around, she walked out. As she passed Second Concubine Ling, she said in a soft voice, “Second Concubine Ling, shall we leave? We wouldn’t want to bother mother’s rest.”
With her saying so, how could Second Concubine Ling refuse to leave?
Second Concubine Ling felt sothing was off. Today’s Mada Yao seed different from her usual self.
Where exactly was the difference?
It seed to be her clothing, or even her overall aura.
Second Concubine Ling followed Mada Yao out of the Songhe Court.
As soon as they left the courtyard, Mada Yao abruptly turned around, raising her hand to slap Second Concubine Ling across the face!
With a loud smack, Second Concubine Ling was left stunned by the blow.
