The housekeeper directly led Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu Si, and Zhu Qiyun to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Zhu knew that with her current status, she was no longer qualified to let Mrs. Li come out to greet her, so she was only slightly disappointed when she didn't see Mrs. Li in front of the gate, not too surprised.

But now that the old lady of the Yan family is still here, and there are guests coming to the door, she doesn't even say that she will take them to visit her first. She immediately understands in her heart that Mrs. Li is here just to save face between the two parties, and the smile on her face can't help but become a little...

Far-fetched.

Mrs. Zhu glanced at Mrs. Zhu Fourth. If they could not visit Mrs. Yan, it would mean that they would not be able to see the Yan family's second roommate, and their purpose of coming this time would be in vain.

Mrs. Zhu Si also realized this, and her heart couldn't help but sink a little, but she didn't show it on her face, still showing a decent smile.

Zhu Qiyun silently followed her elders, neither looking around nor overly worried. At this moment, she could only do her best and obey fate. At this moment, her words and deeds showed the magnanimity and calmness of a daughter of aristocratic family.

Soon, the main courtyard arrived.

Mrs. Li did not show any airs. When the maid said that the guests had arrived, she came out of the room with a smile and met Mrs. Zhu and the other three in the yard.

After the two parties exchanged a few polite words, Mrs. Li led the three of them into the house.

"This is my niece. It's really thanks to the eldest girl's help on the Dragon Boat Festival." Mrs. Zhu smiled and pushed Zhu Qiyun out.

Zhu Qiyun stepped forward calmly and bowed to Mrs. Li in a very decent manner: "Qiyun pays my respects to Madam."

Mrs. Li looked at Zhu Qiyun with a smile, then quickly motioned for her to stand up, and said to Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Si with a smile: "What a gentle and pleasant girl."

Mrs. Zhu Si felt a little relieved when she saw that Mrs. Li had a good opinion of her daughter. She smiled and took over the words: "This girl in my family is far inferior to Miss Yan. She is really a beautiful person. I watched her at Guankou Tower that day.

When it comes to the older girl, I was really amazed for a long time."

Some people praised their daughter and said that mothers are always happy. Mrs. Li talked a little more and talked about her children with Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Si. The atmosphere was pretty good.

Zhu Qiyun sat aside with a slight smile. Although her face looked calm, her heart was already at its lowest point.

Although Mrs. Li was warm and considerate, she had no intention of taking them to see the old lady of the Yan family, nor did she send anyone to call the girls in the mansion to come out to meet the guests. This shows that she did not attach much importance to their arrival.

Just when Zhu Qiyun was worried, a maid came to report, "Madam, the eldest girl is here."

Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Li's face immediately became real, and she said with a smile: "I just asked that girl to clean up the warehouse. Don't blame me for not being able to greet you."

Mrs. Zhu Si expressed joyfully: "Madam, what are you talking about? We took the liberty to come to the door because we were disturbing."

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head, thinking, this Mrs. Zhu Si is actually better at talking and much easier to get along with than Mrs. Zhu.

Soon, the door curtain opened, and Daohua, wearing a light green dress, walked in with a smile.

Seeing Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Si sitting in the room, she quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the two ladies, Yiyi is late, please forgive me."

Mrs. Zhu Si quickly smiled and said: "Girl, please get up quickly."

Daohua smiled and asked the maid behind her to bring the chilled watermelon, then walked to Zhu Qiyun and sat down with a smile: "After the Dragon Boat Festival farewell, how is Miss Zhu?"

Zhu Qiyun smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine with me. Miss Yan, just call me Qiyun."

Daohua took advantage of the situation and said: "Okay, then don't call me Miss Yan, call me Yiyi."

Seeing that her daughter had a good conversation with the eldest daughter of the Yan family, Mrs. Zhu Si breathed a sigh of relief again, smiled and asked the maid to take out the prepared gifts.

Looking at the gift Mrs. Zhu Si brought over, Mrs. Li's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and even Mrs. Zhu's eyes flashed with surprise.

Too expensive!

Mrs. Zhu Si said with a grateful face: "My Qiyun wore a big girl's clothes that day, and now it's hard to come back. This is a little thought on my part, and I hope Madam will accept it."

Mrs. Li recovered from the shock, shook her head and said: "It's too valuable, we can't accept it."

Mrs. Zhu Si quickly said that it was not a valuable thing, and then looked at Mrs. Zhu again, hoping that she would help speak.

Mrs. Zhu looked at the three-day orphan copy and felt a little annoyed. There were such good things in the fourth room, and she had never even mentioned it before.

Feeling angry, he ignored Mrs. Zhu Si’s plea for help.

Mrs. Zhu Si had no choice but to persuade Mrs. Li to accept it.

Daohua glanced at the labeled gifts one after another, even for the second and third bedrooms. Her eyes flashed, and she turned to look at Zhu Qiyun, seeing her hands tangled together. Thinking of her current situation, she thought again

Thinking that the second brother was talking about marriage, after thinking about it for a while, he understood why Mrs. Zhu Si gave such an expensive gift.

Seeing the tension in Zhu Qiyun's eyes, Daohua sighed in her heart and said to Mrs. Li with a smile: "Mom, grandma should have taken a nap."

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter in surprise. She had no intention of taking the Zhu family to see the old lady. However, her daughter proposed it, so she didn’t want to embarrass her. She smiled and said, "If you don't mind the trouble, just follow me."

Go meet the old lady."

Mrs. Zhu Si said happily: "Madam, what are you saying? As juniors, we should go to see the old lady."

Looking at Mrs. Zhu Si who was beaming with joy, Mrs. Li seemed to understand the purpose of their visit this time, and her eyes quickly turned to Zhu Qiyun.

This girl looks pretty good, but her second brother and younger siblings may not like her.

As her thoughts turned around, Mrs. Li stood up with a smile and took Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Si out of the door.

Daohua quickly pulled Zhu Qiyun to follow.

On the way, Zhu Qiyun looked at the rice flowers with some hesitation, but finally said nothing.

Daohua didn't say anything. She quite sympathized with Zhu Qiyun's experience, but she wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the second house because of this. Now it was just a chance for her. It depends on whether she can attract the attention of her second uncle and second aunt.

Her own.

Soon, the group arrived at the old lady’s yard.

The old lady met Mrs. Zhu and the other two people very enthusiastically, and looked at the dignified and decent Zhu Qiyun and also praised her generously.

Knowing that the old lady had a visitor, Mrs. Sun and Mr. Wu arrived soon.

Seeing Ms. Sun, Mrs. Zhu Si immediately cheered up, and even Zhu Qiyun secretly straightened her back.

Seeing mother and daughter like this, Mrs. Li became more and more sure of her guess.

However, she didn't know much about the Zhu family's situation, so she didn't speak rashly.

Mrs. Zhu Si is also a capable person. When everyone was chatting, she quietly changed the topic to the Zhu family and focused on the situation of their room.

"My father passed away four years ago. Qiyun stayed at home to observe her mourning, so she has hardly been out to attend banquets or anything in the past few years."

"My father was the vice-president of Wangyue Academy during his lifetime, and devoted his life to teaching students. My incompetent son passed the Tongsheng examination at the age of ten. Unfortunately, he was grieving for his father's death and has been in poor health in the past two years.

, so I couldn’t continue to refer to it.”

"My husband loves his children. He has prepared a generous dowry for Qiyun early on. He has taught all his life and collected tens of thousands of books and many calligraphy and paintings. He said that when his daughter gets married, half of it will be used as dowry."
