Chapter 330 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
The crowd dispersed, and the princess came down from the building and walked to Zhao Fangyu's side: "Aren't you afraid that he might have an accident on the way?"
"Aunt, no matter what I did, I never thought of harming him from beginning to end."
The eldest princess stopped talking, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not.
Zhao Fangyu was afraid that she would think too much, so he added: "He is my husband. If there is a chance, I will save him."
Zhao Fangyu's action was tantamount to roasting Zhou Qinghe on the fire.
The princess couldn't understand why Zhao Fangyu paid such a huge price to get Zhou Qinghe back, and now she was pushing Zhou Qinghe into the abyss. Such actions made it hard to tell what she was trying to do.
"Do you remember what you promised me?"
"…I remember. I always remember."
The bright red skirt of the princess was gradually hidden by the flowers. Zhao Fangyu turned around and said, "I remember there is a painting of harmony by Master Songshan in the storeroom. Pack it up and send it to the Zhao residence. Tell mother not to worry. Everything is fine here."
Nong Bo nodded in agreement, opened the warehouse, took out the painting, and sent it to the Zhao family.
The one who collected the things was Aunt Cui, who worked beside the eldest lady. She stuffed a bag of copper coins into her pocket and took some snacks made of snowflakes back with her.
Mother Cui sent the people away and came in holding the scroll.
"The princess said that she is fine and asked Madam not to worry."
Upon hearing this, the eldest lady nodded and looked at the sky outside before going out.
The sky was clear, and now it was dusk. There were countless rosy clouds in the sky, and half of the sky was covered with purple-red clouds.
"Change my clothes for me and go see the old lady."
The old lady of Shou'an Hall rarely left the yard since the girls got married one after another, and she also did not allow the eldest lady to visit her.
She said that there were too many spirit tablets enshrined there, so she shouldn’t offend the eldest lady.
Now that the eldest lady had taken the initiative to step into Shou'an Hall, the maids and servants in the hall were not surprised. After paying their respects, they quietly went about their work.
"coming?"
The eldest lady called the old lady affectionately, knelt on the cushion beside her, lit a stick of incense towards the spirit tablets, and then helped the old lady walk out of the Buddhist hall slowly.
"The weather is nice today, and mother should go to the garden for a walk."
The old lady's dry and cold hands were wearing a pair of jade bracelets of poor quality. As people get older, their limbs become colder more easily than ordinary people.
The pair of jade bracelets were also like ice and snow.
"I'm old and too lazy to move around."
"As for you, don't worry about me. I live in my own home, what else can happen?"
The eldest lady smiled and changed the subject: "I came here today to tell mother some good news."
"Jin'er gave birth to a son, and Yu'er's husband is coming back."
The old lady said slowly, "That is indeed good news."
Then he looked towards the main courtyard: "There has been no good news from the Zhao family for a long time."
Of the six girls she raised, two died and one married far away. Now, of the three girls left in front of her, two are not living well after getting married. The old lady chants sutras in the Buddhist temple all day long, praying that the old man who had died many years ago would bless the children in the family.
"Life at home has gotten better now, and mother should go out more often."
"It's hot, but in the small Buddhist temple, mother should wear something warmer."
The old lady patted the eldest lady's hand. The eldest lady knew that she could not persuade her, so she held up the painting of harmony that Zhao Fangyu had sent over and said, "This is Yu Jie'er's filial piety. She knows that her mother is devoted to Buddhism. This is the posthumous work of Master Songshan, and it is well preserved."
The old lady had never read much. She believed in Buddhism and prayed to Buddha all her life. Master Songshan, who was called the Living Buddha in the previous dynasty, also had countless believers in the world.
This picture of harmony is what the old lady likes the most.
