"Old lady, this is impossible. I am so sick that my eldest grandma can't separate her body, and my second grandma still needs to protect her baby. Her body is not good before giving birth. Liu Yatou is a good girl, but she will get married in a few days. If there is really no personal support in this family, let Ran Yatou stay for a year and a half. After the second grandma gave birth, she can come out to take charge of the business and send her to reunite with Youer. This is also a way to have the best of both worlds. The young couple will be together for a long time in the future and will not be there for a while."

Mrs. Qi Er slowly said this truth. After careful consideration, she thought she was impeccable and could keep Xun Qingran.

This matter is thanks to the empress's news. After Mrs. Qi Er said that she couldn't help but remember that shortly after Xun Qingran went out to Guanyin Temple to enter the incense in the morning, someone came to the palace. It was the Empress Xian Concubine who sent him to greet him. The palace man also brought a message: The emperor intended to release Qi You as an official. She felt a little complicated after hearing the news. She didn't want Qi You to run to a place she couldn't see, and thought that maybe this was a good thing.

Just when she was upset, she heard the little girl outside talking, but the big girl next to Qi You came over. She called Quan to come in, but when asked about Qi You and Xun Qingran's daily life, Quan to answer without any loss.

"Madam is worried about the Fourth Master's affairs again?" Ji Qian saw that she looked a little worried and asked with a smile.

She was shocked, how could this citron see through her mind?

"What else can I do, but worry about them," she said.

"When the Fourth Master was young, every time he encountered something, his wife was worried about the Fourth Master and frowned like this. People say that the wife loved the fifth Master the most because the fifth Master was the youngest son. But the maid knew that the wife was most concerned about and felt most distressed by the Fourth Master."

She likes to hear these words from Citron and has more favorable feelings for Citron.

"I feel sorry for him, but..." She didn't want to say it in front of a servant.

"Madam, I don't understand any big principles, I only hear people say that meeting each other is affectionate. The Fourth Master grew up by the old lady since childhood, and was busy with work in adulthood, but he rarely had the chance to be by his wife. He didn't have the chance to know that his wife loved him so much. Now that he has become a family again, men are inevitably rough and cannot see his wife's love, but they can hear the words in their ears. Some people often hold this in their ears, this is good or that is bad. No matter how hard the Fourth Master's heart is, they will turn away. If the Fourth Grandma often mentions the benefits of the Mrs. In the fourth Master's ear, the Fourth Master will understand the wife's painstaking efforts."

Yes, it's not the reason. Citron's words made her suddenly realize. Just let Xun Qingran say her good things in front of Qi You, that would be difficult. Xun Qingran is the wife chosen by Rong. When she got her date and horoscope, she almost broke the marriage. As for the recent incidents, how could Xun Qingran say anything good things about her? I'm afraid that I would have complained about her in front of Qi You. If there was a person of her own beside Qi You, the situation would be different.

"You are right, you are worthy of being trained by the old lady," she said.

Citron bowed his knees and said, "I dare not say that it was a person trained by the old lady. At that time, I just entered the mansion and was divided into the old lady's yard. Following the original Madam Yang, she was a rough messenger next to the Fourth Master. Later, Madam Yang saw that Madam was diligent and started to upgrade to the level of Madam. The Fourth Master moved out of the old lady's yard, and Madam followed her."

Citron said, and took out another pair of shoes from her arms.

"Madam, this is a pair of shoes for the maid. Although it is not as delicate as the fourth grandmother's needlework, it is also made by the maid with her heart. Every time she seldom comes, the maid will recite Buddhist scriptures in order to pray for the maid and bless her longevity and health."

The shoes are made very well-rounded, with fine stitches and embroidered with patterns that are constantly shaped like a thousand words, which seems to have taken a lot of effort.

"Madam, why not try it, see if it fits or not." Citron served her and tried the shoes.

"It fits well. I have never given you my needle and thread. How do you know the size of my feet?" she asked.

Citron laughed, "Grandma once asked for his wife's shoes."

She said oh, this citron is really willing to work hard, and these shoes cannot be made in one or two days.

"It's hard for you to do this."

Citron lowered her head, raised her head for a while, and tears were hanging on the corners of her eyes.

"I'm praising you, why do I cry?" she asked strangely.

Citron kneeled on the ground with a thud, "The wife does too much good deeds, so naturally I don't remember it. That year, the maid got cold and said she wanted to move outside. The maid knew about it, and told her that the doctor came in to treat the maid and gave her decoction. The maid saved her life. This was naturally a trivial matter for the maid, but Yu Maid was a great favor again. Since then, the maid remembered the maid's grace of life in her heart, and she never dared to forget it. She burned incense and prayed every day to keep her safe. However, the maid had a low status and did not dare to walk around the maid for many times, for fear that the maid would say that the maid would climb high branches."

"There is another thing?" She couldn't remember at all, but I think there were some. A big girl like Citron also had such decent status. She was just because Qi You did a favor, and she didn't expect that this girl remembered so clearly.

She couldn't help but look at Citron carefully again, and the more she looked at her, the closer she felt. Citron was given to Qi You by the old lady, but she was obviously more grateful to her.

"You are a good kid who knows gratitude." She helped Citron up, "I'll ask you, if the Fourth Master wants to go out for a while and ask you to serve him, you are willing."

"What do you want to do if you don't want me? But with my fourth grandmother, I just do some needles and threads."

"If I have something else to entrust your grandma, you..."

"My maid's life is given by her wife, and she will follow her instructions in everything."

She was very satisfied with Citron's attitude, so she sent Citron back to listen to the news. Only then did she make up her mind to keep Xun Qingran and ask Qi You to take Citron and take her to another post.

Later she went to talk to Xun Qingran, and Xun Qingran talked about Qi Yi's future, which was a little shaken. Qi Yi's future was naturally due to Xun Qingran's strength. Logically, she should repay her favor, but she was always a little unwilling to let Xun Qingran and Qi You go to work in a foreign office. The couple are no longer under her control now. It took a few years to go there, and when they come back, their wings will become harder, and they will not listen to her in the future. Even if they take Citron, with Xun Qingran on the side, Citron will be harder to win Qi You's heart.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Qi still couldn't let Xun Qingran go. However, she was not a ignorant person. Just because Xun Qingran was working hard for Qi Yi's future, she showed mercy. She still let Xiang follow Qi You first. In this year and two years, Xiang would definitely be able to develop feelings for Qi You. It would be better to have another eldest son, and then let Xun Qingran go there.

At that time, if Xun Qingran and Jin want to maintain their status, they have to rely on her mother-in-law, and they will naturally obey her words and influence Qi You. If the son and daughter-in-law listen to her, she will be able to say the same thing in this family. Instead of the young couple who are in the same mind, putting her aside with their little abacus.

Mrs. Qi also thought that if Xun Qingran is left like this, Xun Qingran could not understand her kindness, and still felt resentful and refused to help Qi Yi. She was not worried about this. She was her mother-in-law, and she asked her daughter-in-law to do something, and her daughter-in-law should do it. There was no reason to tell her about conditions. If Xun Qingran was not tactful, it would be nothing. She had a lot of gold and silver, the brand of the Duke's Mansion, and the Queen was supporting her behind. Borrowing the road paved by Xun Qingran, she could do things.

By the way, she was still too soft-hearted. She could do this without Xun Qingran. Asking Xun Qingran to help was to give Xun Qingran face. She didn't need to be grateful to Xun Qingran's siblings, let alone change her plan because of this.

Mrs. Qi thought about the matter clearly, and someone came to report it, saying that Qi You's intention to serve as an official outside has been delivered, and said that Xun Qingran was in Rong's place. Mrs. Qi hurried over.

Mrs. Qi Er recalled the past and afterwards, and felt more and more that her plan was perfect. She not only achieved her goal of checking and balancing her son and daughter-in-law, but also gave her kindness to Xun Qingran. Mrs. Qi Er couldn't help but show a loving smile on her face.

Rong looked at Mrs. Qi Er and asked, "I have promised to let Ran Yatou follow You'er to take office. You'er went far this time, how could you do without taking care of her? You're not worried about being a mother?"

Mrs. Qi Er was waiting for Rong's words and quickly smiled, "What the old lady said is that I have thought of this. You're naturally going to have someone to take care of you. I've already seen one, which is the citron given to You'er by the old lady."

"Citron?" Rong glanced at Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran was holding one of Guan Ge'er's little hands and swaying around her clothes.

"It's citron." said Mrs. Qi Er, "That girl was trained by the old lady. She has been with You'er since she was a child. Her relationship with You'er is unusual and she takes care of You'er very well. I looked at her secretly for a long time. It's perfect for me to look, be honest, thoughtful and capable."

No one was talking in the room.

Mrs. Qi Er continued, "Old lady, send Citron to you first. When the place is settled there, Ran Yatou will go there again, and it is also for Ran Yatou to think about Ran Yatou."

Rong narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Mrs. Qi Er smiled more, as if the headache had been cured.

"The old lady said just now that she wanted to hold her great-grandson and Sister Ran to go with her fourth brother. She would postpone my wedding date for a few days, so I could do my best for the family." Qi Wanli stood up and said.

Xun Qingran was stunned. Although Qi Wanli's marriage was decided, she would have to support her mother's mother when she got married in the future. Most people would choose to remain silent at this time and not help each other. She and Qi Wanli had always been in a good relationship and had secretly given Qi Wanli a lot of help, but she still didn't expect that Qi Wanli would offend Mrs. Qi in person and also wanted to help her.

"What nonsense? The dignified Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion, how can the wedding date be postponed?" Mrs. Qi Er said dissatisfied. She deliberately ignored the decision of Rong's family that Qi Wanli mentioned, and only scolded Qi Wanli for not thinking about changing the wedding date.

"Why does Liu Yatou's wedding date need to be changed?" The eldest lady's voice sounded at the door.

Why did the eldest wife come back so early? Didn’t it mean that she would follow her mother’s family to worship Buddha and would not come back until the evening?

Mrs. Qi Er's face froze.

Crying, Ruoyan thought that the doubled pink starts on May Day, but unexpectedly, it started on the 28th. Ruoyan knew that he was not good at math, and Ruoyan cried bitterly. Everyone understood that he worked hard but could only be at the end of the pink list, which was a very bloody thing.
