Aunt Xi's eyes flickered, and after a while, she pursed her lips and responded softly.

"Thank you for your guidance, Madam Fifth," the young woman couldn't help but sigh softly as she looked at the girl's slightly immature but charming face, "Madam Fifth is truly wise..."

Such a thoughtful and considerate young lady... is only fifteen years old.

With such talent and beauty, I'm sure she'll have a good life after she gets married.

The balance in Aunt Xi's heart involuntarily tilted towards her.

As evening approached, Yu Luan was afraid that staying in Yangliuxie for too long would arouse suspicion from the main courtyard, so she sat for a while and then left.

When leaving, Aunt Xi said with a smile, "Thank you for sitting and talking to me for a while to relieve my boredom," and specifically asked Yingyue to wrap a bag of West Lake Longjing tea in oil paper and asked her to take it back to drink.

"I saw you drank a few more sips today. If Fifth Lady likes it, send someone to get more. I have plenty here."

He kindly ordered the maid to escort the person out of the Yangliuxie courtyard.

Aunt Xi has always been kind to these young ladies and does not make enemies easily, so there is nothing wrong with her friendly attitude.

After another three or four days, the girl heard that the master had moved a lot of expensive ornaments and jewelry from the storehouse in the front yard into the Willow Pavilion.

After careful inquiries, I found out that Aunt Xi didn't rely on anyone and sent Ruan Shuli to the front yard, where he was watched by the master's people. He ate and slept in a small courtyard next to the master's study in the front yard. The wet nurse and maids were also transferred from the front yard to serve the young man carefully.

After this incident, the wife was so embarrassed that she reportedly secretly broke several teacups in the house.

After all, Aunt Xi was someone who came out of her courtyard, but she watched her become estranged from her and the child she had given birth to flew away.

What an honor it was to be raised by the eldest master himself? Even the eldest son born to the favored concubine Xu was raised by her.

Being brought up in the front yard not only shows that the master values ​​him, but he may not be able to see it now because he is little, but when he grows up, he will be the first to see the moon because he is close to the water tower. He will often follow the master to meet guests and discuss matters... He will be influenced by him, and he will surely be much better than the second son who is born out of wedlock and is a hopeless case!

The eldest master thought this was a good idea and praised Aunt Xi on the spot for her "vision and sensibility" and for not insisting on keeping his son by her side and letting him be influenced by the feminine atmosphere of the inner chamber.

In a moment of soft-heartedness, he allowed Aunt Xi to see her son four or five times a month when she was free.

Aunt Xi kept repeating "Amitabha" and put her worries aside. Now that the matter was settled, she quietly gave Yu Luan some gold and jade jewelry and a heavy purse as a thank you gift.

The girl accepted the generous gift from her. Every morning and evening when she went to the main courtyard to pay respects, she would smile and greet him affectionately, "Hello, Fifth Lady."

On the surface, the relationship seems neither far nor close, just right.

The lady has more than one worry these days. She is busy arranging the wedding ceremony for the third lady, and also has to find time to look for a match for Ruan Yuluan.

When paying respects that day, the lady looked a little tired. She held the cup in her fingertips, glanced at someone, and then perked up a little.

"...As the stepmother, this is what I should do!" The wife's voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm, and she said in a veiled way, "After all, all the affairs of this mansion are handled by me...As long as everyone is well, it doesn't matter if I am a little tired!"

This is a really nice thing to say. The girl lowered her eyelashes to hide the almost inaudible irony in her eyes.
