At this mont, the maid outside reported again, "Old Mada, the Great General has co to pay his respects to you!"
The voice had not yet fallen when the curtain was already lifted, and Mo Ziqi walked in with the stride of a dragon and steps of a tiger. After entering the room, he first paid his respects to the Old Mada and Lady Wu, then gave a half-bow to Lady Yang.
Lady Yang hurriedly got up, turned slightly to return the half-bow, but upon finishing, she keenly noticed that although her brother-in-law was saluting her, his eyes were actually on her own daughter-in-law. So, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and laughed, "Second Brother, are you here to see your younger brother’s wife?"
With Lady Yang saying this, Fei’er imdiately blushed and secretly glared at Mo Ziqi. Mo Ziqi, not taking it to heart, looked at his little wife and smiled, then said, "Sister-in-law jests, Ziqi is here to pay respects to Grandmother."
The Old Mada, having heard about Shen Juhua’s matter, was in a very good mood, and joked with her grandson, "You say you’re here to pay respects to , but your eyes keep staring at your wife. What is this about?"
Everyone laughed, and Fei’er’s face turned even redder, lowering her head as if she couldn’t lower it any further, like a child who had done sothing wrong...
Mo Ziqi, feeling sorry for his wife, said, "Grandson saw sothing today, and ca specifically to report it to Grandmother. But if Grandmother keeps teasing , I won’t say what it is!"
"You little boy, already a Great General, yet behaving like a child, keeping secrets from Grandmother. Speak quickly, what is it after all!" The Old Mada’s curiosity was piqued, and she urged him repeatedly.
Lady Wu also said with curiosity, "Ziqi, what is it that made you co specifically to tell Old Mada?"
Seeing that everyone stopped teasing Fei’er, Mo Ziqi no longer kept them in suspense, and said to Mother, "Son saw soone today in the palace, Mother, do you want to know who it was?"
Lady Wu and the Old Mada said in unison, "Could it be the Miss of the Shen Family?"
At this, Mo Ziqi was embarrassed, his suspense was discovered imdiately.
"How did you know?"
Mo Shuya proudly said, "Second Uncle, I saw the Miss of the Shen Family before you, and even spoke a word to her!"
Mo Ziqi said, "Since Grandmother already knows, I won’t keep it a secret anymore. I think that the Miss of the Shen Family and Zili are a very suitable match. Grandmother should hasten to get better and make arrangents to marry the granddaughter-in-law."
Mo Ziqi is a wise and calm person, rarely drawing conclusions lightly. Since he sees that the Miss of the Shen Family is good, she must indeed be excellent. The Old Mada felt even more assured and said, "I’ve been preoccupied with your aunt’s affairs, then with Zili being ill, and your sister-in-law’s childbirth, that I completely overlooked the Miss of the Shen Family. With you reminding , I should really hasten this matter, she isn’t young anymore, if she gets engaged to another family before us, that wouldn’t be good!"
Lady Wu said, "Old Mada, you are absolutely right. Zili is quite a stubborn person. After Xiang Yun left, I thought it would take him years to recover. Luckily, Heaven has been gracious and allowed him to et soone he likes. We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!"
This speech made everyone nod in agreent, and Lady Yang said, "Old Mada, isn’t it said that the Miss of the Shen Family is close to the Empress Dowager? Why not ask the Empress Dowager to diate and settle their marital affair first? Once the National Mourning is over, we can have Miss Shen marry in!"
The Old Mada listened and said, "Hmm, that’s a good idea. After eting the Girl of Shen Family, I’ll personally enter the palace to discuss this with the Empress Dowager..."
...
Juhua had no idea that she was already being thought of by soone. Every day she happily eats until full and sleeps, sleeps until full and plays, living a happy and leisurely pig-like life.
Ever since having hotpot with Mother that day, she fell in love with this hot food and almost went to eat it daily. Madam Shen was not short of silver and doted on her daughter very much. Seeing that she liked it, she dispatched the most trusted Nanny Li by her side, along with Juhua’s nanny and maids, to accompany her often.
On this day, Juhua ca as usual to Bafu Hot Pot Restaurant, and upon just going upstairs, she bumped into her most despised person—Liu Xi!
At this mont, Liu Xi was coming over from the opposite side with a group of people, speaking loudly as if discussing so matter about building a holiday resort.
Juhua had always looked down on Liu Xi, and unexpectedly today he was accompanied by a woman. Although the woman was not particularly pretty, she was dressed extrely expensively in Floating Light Brocade, wearing only one piece of jewelry, yet that piece was more precious than a whole head of adornnts, being a pure diamond pearl flower.
By such standards, it was clear the woman wasn’t so maid or servant girl, otherwise she wouldn’t be dressed in such expensive headgear and clothing. Seeing the two walking closely together, she reckoned it might be his lover!
Juhua felt a wave of disgust—the perverted eunuch, clearly incapable, yet still finding a lover, truly shaless.
She let her imagination run wild, her initial admiration for his invention of the bicycle flew off to the Java Country. As her group encountered Liu Xi’s group head-on, she halted, haughty and with arms crossed, showing no intention of giving way.
Liu Xi saw her staring at him with an unfriendly expression and silently moved aside to let her pass. A person next to Liu Xi said ingratiatingly, "Eunuch Liu, you’re truly magnanimous, even giving way to two unknown young ladies, sothing that not just anyone can do."
