Mingyun waited for the other person to come over and whispered, "The steward of Lord Zhao's family."
Jiang Sheng was speechless. "Master Zhao? The Zhao family from Pingzhou City?"
Mingyun nodded, "Yeah."
Jiang Sheng was happy about his son's growth. He learned a lot from Mingyun, things that he could not teach. However, he was not yet tolerant of the Zhao family who had bullied his son. When he saw the visitor, his face looked indifferent.
Zhao Bo's housekeeper thought it was a coincidence. "I have met Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang. It has been more than a year since we last met. Mr. Zhou is even more charming than before."
Mingyun had learned how to speak well from this man, so his expression remained unchanged. "Is the manager going back to Pingzhou?"
The steward replied, "Yes, it was a coincidence. I just happened to see the guards on horseback. I guessed that they were the young master returning to Pingzhou to take part in the provincial examination, so I plucked up the courage to stop the convoy."
Mingyun already understood why the steward returned to Pingzhou. The timing was too coincidental. Zhao Bo was afraid of another accident, so he sent people back to keep an eye on him. Naturally, he would show up when he met him. Mingyun curled his lips. He knew his grandfather's temper. His grandfather and Zhao Bo were no longer friends. They wrote two letters a year, and it was just Zhao Bo's greetings and his grandfather's brief replies.
Mingyun said: "Your master is thoughtful. It's getting late. We need to hurry on our way."
The steward bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Jiang Sheng waited for the steward to leave, stroking his beard, "I found that good servants can really help their masters a lot."
Mingyun smiled and said, "Can Uncle-in-law choose a capable housekeeper?"
Jiang Sheng put his hands behind his back and walked towards the carriage. "No, I don't have much money saved now. It won't be too late to look for a house when I move to a bigger house."
Mingyun followed with a chuckle, feeling in his heart that he felt different because he had the confidence. Look, he was asking to return the mansion right away. However, he did admire his uncle's state of mind.
In Zhou Family Garden, Yuyi avoided the embarrassment again and at the same time held down the elder sister who wanted to help. It was not too much at the moment. If the elder sister intervened, it would be wrong regardless of right or wrong. It would show that the host was not generous and it would also be bad for the elder sister's reputation.
Yu Shuang's eyes were cold. Miss Shen didn't know what was wrong with her and she kept grabbing Yu Yi.
Yuyi couldn't react excessively, she was really holding back. If it wasn't for the flower banquet she hosted, she would have just retorted directly. Now all the noble ladies in the garden were watching, and in order to prevent Yuyi from being gossiped about, she could only counter her moves.
The young ladies of the Wen family looked at each other with amusement, while the young ladies of the Liu family smiled with coldness, as if these ladies with titles had nothing to do with it.
Several people who were on good terms with the Zhou sisters had already helped to make excuses, while the others were either not qualified to speak up or had meaningful intentions.
All the flowers in the garden were cultivated by the family. There are too few pure ones. Now we don’t appreciate the flowers anymore. Well, today’s show is good.
Zhulan was very calm when she heard the news, and she listened leisurely to the maids' retelling.
Li was anxious, "Mother, this Miss Shen did this on purpose. She just wanted to save face by holding a flower banquet for us!"
Zhulan: "Yeah."
Zhao was also anxious because this was a flower banquet hosted by her daughter.
Su Xuan was very calm, "No matter what happened to Miss Shen, today is something that Yu Shuang and the others need to experience. Only after this is over can we truly grow."
In the past, if you attended a banquet, you could retort if you were unhappy because you had the confidence to do so. Now, it is the host who has to deal with it. The problem is that the host invites you to so many banquets, and there is always a shortage of people finding fault at the banquet.
Zhu Lan praised Su Xuan's words, "The fourth elder is right."
Yu Wen rolled her eyes and lowered her head to check her clothes. Well, she was dressed up today as well. "Grandma, I want to go to the garden."
Zhulan turned her head to look at Yuwen, "Since you didn't show up at first, don't go over now. Even if you have more reasons, it's rude."
Yu Wen naturally knew this, but she didn't want anyone to bully Sister Yu Yi.
Zhulan hugged Yuwen and said, "I am very happy that you love and care for your sister. Yuwen also wants to protect her!"
Yuwen's cheeks were red, and Zhulan smiled even more happily, now she looked like a little child.
Zhulan let go of her granddaughter and said, "If you want to protect your sister, you must become strong first."
Yuwen, "..."
In the garden, Yuyi's little head was turning quickly. She must not be stage fright or timid. She must stay calm.
Miss Shen was already feeling annoyed. She started to make things difficult for others without showing any expression, but only a few people noticed. Now they all saw through her intentions. As a result, the little girl who was three years younger than her actually took on all her embarrassment.
Miss Shen couldn't back down now. If she won, she would lose face for bullying a girl younger than her. If she lost, she would lose all her dignity.
Yu Shuang smiled, clenched her fists, and told herself over and over again in her heart that grandma said an accident was the worst solution.
Yu Lu was able to keep her composure. She thought more and finally decided who would win or lose. If she won, she would lose, and if she lost, it would be even more shameful.
While she was asking questions, Yuyi suddenly stood up. She felt that everyone was looking at her. Her hands trembled. Thinking about what her grandmother said, she walked steadily to Miss Shen's side. Yuyi held a teacup and said, "I am too young to drink alcohol, so I use tea instead. Today, I have a rare opportunity to meet a talented person like you. I am yearning for you. I am young and keep chasing you for knowledge. I am here to apologize with tea."
All of a sudden, the ladies who were doing their own things just now all looked over.
Yu Shuang loosened her hand, and after Yu Lu was surprised, the curve of her mouth became bigger and bigger.
Miss Shen was about to explode with rage. Zhou Yuyi mentioned that she was young twice, and she knew what was going on. Wasn't this pointing out that she was bullying? But Zhou Yuyi also praised her for her talent, saying that others were seeking knowledge, and her retort was that she had no talent.
Miss Shen picked up the teacup and said, "It is my sister who should apologize. It is rare for my sister to meet someone who understands her. I was so infatuated for a moment. Please have some tea, my sister."
Yuyi's eyebrows curved, "Sister, please."
Yudie widened her eyes. She discovered that her soft sister also had another side. Recalling the times when she was controlled by her sister, she swallowed her saliva and thought, "I can't afford to offend her. I can't afford to offend her."
Yujiao didn't understand yet, and went back to rest after the fun.
Qiu Shu finally let go of the worry in her heart. She really didn't want to embarrass Yuyi who she was helping. At the same time, there was a complicated look in her eyes. How old was she
In the backyard, Zhulan also knew what Yuyi said. Ah, Yuyi and Yujiao lived in the main courtyard. Among the granddaughters in the family, Yuyi spent the most time with her.
This most obedient and normal granddaughter is not the kind of person who would allow herself to be bullied without fighting back.
Li's eyes widened, "Did Yuyi really say that?"
That quiet niece who calls me aunt every time I see her
Zhao was also surprised, and she had a new understanding of her niece.
Su Xuan laughed softly, "I knew that the little girls in our family all have tempers."
Yu Wen blinked her eyes, "So my fourth sister is very powerful, and I can be at ease as a younger sister."
What about working hard to become strong and protect her sister? No, she has a powerful sister so she can be a younger sister with peace of mind!
