Chapter 2223: Spring is not too late
When we arrived at Old Madam Fang's place, there were no outsiders waiting there this time.
After being ignored by her, Fang Yu did not come to see Old Madam Fang, but was directly coaxed back by the maids in her yard. She was probably having a great time with the maids at this moment.
Zhao Qianyue, a step expert who takes tens of thousands of steps a day, has wandered off to somewhere unknown, leaving Old Madam Fang's room peaceful and quiet. There is only a little maid waiting to serve her.
Shi Li entered the room and saw that Madam Fang looked better than in the past few days, which showed that she was still in good health. She said so.
"Li'er is really good at talking. It's so comforting to listen to her." Old Madam Fang smiled and called Shi Li to come to her side. She asked her with concern about everything that happened during her trip to Ming Mansion today.
The key point is who he met in the Ming Mansion and what he said to Madam Ming.
Shi Li knew what was going on, so he just replied that he had talked with Madam Ming and Princess Zhaojia for a while and that they had left some food for him, without mentioning Mingchen at all.
Old Madam Fang was satisfied with what she heard, and she did not notice that Shi Li had a valuable hairpin on her head. Instead, she winked at the maid beside her.
The little maidservant immediately retreated tactfully, leaving only the grandfather and grandson in the room.
"You are already an adult, and you have no one else by your grandmother's side, so you have to think carefully about your own life."
Madam Fang said earnestly, "No matter how good Jiangnan is, it is not as good as the capital under the feet of the emperor. Although marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, as long as I, an old woman, speak, your father will definitely not refuse my face."
Shi Li just lowered her head and said nothing, thinking: No, you actually have no face at all in front of my father.
The father and daughter had discussed this long before Shi Li came to Beijing.
If Madam Fang pushed too hard, Shi Li could pretend to agree, and then he would have to inform Shi Mufeng, and then he, as a father, would have to step in to resist and negotiate.
In fact, Mu Feng said something else at that time.
He looked at his graceful daughter and said, "In fact, the best way is to find a good family for you and Yu'er first. Then the Fang family will have to give up no matter what. But... I can't bear to let you go, and I can't find a suitable family for a while."
Shi Li was thinking back to the past. For some reason, the image of Mingchen riding a horse suddenly popped up in her mind, and her heart felt slightly warmed.
Old Madam Fang didn't know that Shi Li had already thought about it for a long time and was still trying hard to convince her.
"When your mother married far away to Jiangnan, I regretted it for many years. It's not that your father is a bad person, but it's hard for us to meet again... Li'er, are you willing to stay with me forever?"
[Of course not! ]
[Old witch, don’t even think about harming my daughter!!!]
[This is not a blessing, it is bad luck!!!]
"You have seen that your cousin is of excellent character and appearance. No one will bully you in the future. It would be great if we could be a happy family." Seeing that Shi Li was silent, Old Madam Fang thought that she had been persuaded, so she became more straightforward.
Shi Li had a lot of complaints in her heart, but she just lowered her eyelids slightly and whispered, "Everything... is up to grandma and father. I, I'll go back first, grandma, take a good rest."
Madam Fang took this excuse as a willingness, and immediately smiled, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, go back and have a rest. I'll take care of the rest."
Finally able to leave, Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief. When she walked out of Old Madam Fang's room, she saw the little maid standing under the window with her head lowered, and her heart was slightly moved.
But she didn't say anything until she returned to her own courtyard, then she immediately said to Qiu Zi, "Go and find out who the little maid who was serving in the room just now is familiar with."
Shi Li concluded that there was something wrong with the little maid.
She was clearly sent out by Old Madam Fang, so she must have known that what she wanted to say to her did not want to be heard by outsiders. If she was really honest, she should have stayed away and never stood under the window.
Therefore, she must have stayed there on purpose, and must have heard what Old Madam Fang said. Shi Li just wanted to know whose eyes and ears she was, and she couldn't be a fool who didn't know anything.
Although Qiu Zi was not from the mansion, money made the world go round, and she was smart, so she came back in less than half an hour.
After closing the door, he didn't keep the secret and said to Shi Li directly, "The little maid was sold to the mansion and has no relatives. However, in the past half month, she secretly married the nanny next to Miss Zhao. She goes to pay her respects almost every day, and she just went there."
The little maid naturally passed on word for word what Madam Fang said to Shi Li to her godmother. Then, her godmother turned around and told Zhao Qianyue what she said.
Zhao Qianyue, who was sitting at the top, had a face as white as snow. She closed her lips and clenched her teeth tightly, causing her jaw to twitch slightly.
A pair of eyes that were always gentle and affectionate now revealed sharp calculations.
