These words touched the old lady's sore spot. She was born and raised in the capital. After becoming a wife of the Hua family, she had represented her husband's family in and out of the homes of the powerful and wealthy at an early age. She had seen all kinds of servants. She didn't dare to compare herself with those in the palace, and even in the eyes of her, those in the prince's mansion were not as good as Yingchun and the others.
Even if it is about hiding one's abilities, few people can do it for ten years. But in her Hua family, not only her eldest granddaughter hid her abilities, but even her maids didn't notice anything. This is real ability!
When Nanny Su saw the old lady's expression, she knew that she had said the right thing, so she went on to say what she really wanted to say. Although she was not as capable as those maids, she believed that her loyalty to the old lady was comparable to theirs.
"You are always worried that no one will help the young lady. In my opinion, there is no need to worry. Not to mention her four big maids, even the second-class maids in her room are capable and can all help the young lady. Moreover, the young lady's ability to manipulate people is not useless now. Who of the people she is using now is not very motivated? In my opinion, if you can't count on others, don't count on them. Just let them listen to the young lady. The young lady will never treat them unfairly."
The old lady gradually understood. Instead of forcing someone to be by Zhier's side and making her feel constrained, it would be better to let Zhier go. With Zhier's kind nature, she would not ignore her family members even if they didn't like her. Why should she be so self-righteous and do something that would embarrass Zhier for the sake of the Hua family and to share Zhier's worries
Hearing greetings from outside, Nanny Su quickly tidied up the room and put a pillow behind the old lady. Then the footsteps reached the door.
Hua Zhi and Shaoyao, who was still wearing a veil, came in hand in hand, "Zhi'er greets grandma."
Shaoyao also followed suit and saluted.
"Hurry up, I can't bear Miss Shaoyao's gift."
Zhi'er pulled Shaoyao up and said, "You don't have to praise her so highly. She is your granddaughter's friend. Just treat her as a junior."
Shaoyao's head, with its veil on, was waved up and down.
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Then I won't be polite to Miss Shaoyao. The Hua family welcomes you anytime as long as you are willing to come. No one can stop you."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Although the old lady smiled kindly and Shaoyao looked well behaved, she had no intention of getting close to her. The only outsider she was willing to get close to was Huahua.
"Come on, go show it to grandma."
The pulse of the Peony for a moment, said, "Okay, you don't have to support it, sleep when you want to sleep, and recover if you sleep well."
"Okay, okay." The old lady looked at her granddaughter, "You don't have to stay with me. Go back and rest. No one in the family is as tired as you."
"We'll leave after you've rested."
The two did not leave. Hua Zhi trusted Shaoyao's medical skills. Since she said that her grandmother would have nightmares, it must be true. It made sense as it would be difficult for a woman to have a peaceful night if she was frightened, not to mention that her grandmother was a frail old woman.
Su Shi and Yingchun paved the bed on the ground, and the peony leaned against the Huayu and lowered: "Flowers, you sleep first, I look at it."
Hua Zhi hid a yawn, patted her back, and said, "You are much more tired than me. Go to sleep first, and we will take turns."
"Don't underestimate me. After all, I have practiced martial arts for so many years. I am in good health. Go to sleep quickly."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and they smiled at their mouths first, and they smiled in their eyes. Finally, their heads closed their heads and closed their eyes. They couldn't cook for a night and had to hurry up to sleep.
The first person to react when there was movement on the bed was Shaoyao. Hua Zhi, who was awakened by her movement, also woke up. The two looked at each other and ran to the bed together.
The old lady closed her eyes with a look of pain and shouted softly, "Master... Master, come back, come back quickly, you can't go, don't go... I'll go with you, Master, Master, Yu'er, Yan'er, Yang'er, where are you, where are you, come to me, come to me quickly..."
Shaoyao whispered, "Huahua, go and call her."
Hua Zhi nodded, approached her grandmother and called softly, "Grandma, Grandma, can you hear me? I am Zhier, we are here, we are all here, Grandma, Grandma..."
Shaoyao poured a few drops of liquid into her palms, rubbed her hands together to warm them, climbed onto the bed and gently massaged the back of her neck. A lingering fragrance gradually spread, and after a while, the emotional old lady slowly calmed down. Although her brows were still frowned, she did not scream again.
Shaoyao stopped and said, "That's enough."
“Is that all?”
"I mean this time." After a loud yawn, Shaoyao went back to her bed and lay down. "It will happen again several times during the night. You should hurry up and go to sleep."
Hua Zhi signaled Su Ma, who had been waiting in the room, to fetch some water and wrung out a handkerchief to wipe Shaoyao's hands. "Go to sleep."
The old lady had nightmares four times that night, and the last one ended when it was almost dawn.
"Almost done." Shaoyao looked a little depressed. She took out a piece of incense from the medicine box and handed it to Madam Su. "This piece of incense can be used for three days. Don't worry about it. Just wait for it to burn out. It's used to calm your mind."
Nanny Su took it solemnly and bowed deeply, "I thank Miss Shaoyao."
"Thank you, Huahua." Shaoyao lay on Huazhi's chest without moving, "I'm so hungry."
"… The meal you ate tonight was more than I eat in a day."
"Just hungry."
Hua Yan held her, and touched her hind neck like a cat. "This is a false phase. You are actually sleepy. Go back to sleep, I will come in a while."
"Just sleep here, you sleep too."
Hua Zhi was indeed tired, so she didn't say anything more and lay back on the floor with Shaoyao.
She had to wait until her grandmother was truly fine before she could go back. She had already walked ninety-eight steps out of a hundred, so the last two steps wouldn't matter.
The old man was asleep, and even the old lady even woke up for one night.
A faint unfamiliar fragrance lingered around my nose, it smelled very good. There was no light in the room, so it was dim and difficult to see clearly.
After a while, Cuixiang was seen tiptoeing over with a small lamp in her hand. She was not surprised when she met the old lady's gaze. Instead, she made a gesture to keep quiet and pointed to the ground.
The old lady propped herself up and looked over. In the dim light she saw the two girls sleeping soundly, leaning against each other.
What was there for the old lady to not understand? She was secretly annoyed that she had become a burden, but she also felt warm in her heart. Her eldest granddaughter was really good in every way. Her character, morals, and personality were impeccable.
Signaling Cuixiang to leave, the old lady closed her eyes and rested. Her health was getting worse and worse, and she didn't know how long she could last. If she was to drag Zhier down like this, she might as well die quickly, but...
She was unwilling to accept this. Her husband, her son and her grandson had not returned yet. How could she accept this
