Zhao Ma Ma couldn't help laughing when she recalled the past. She watched the young lady grow up and get married, and she had a deep affection for her. She had already regarded the young lady as her own daughter. Seeing Su Shi suffering, her heart felt like it was torn apart and she was in great pain.

Ye Yunzi's eyes softened, she knew that Aunt Zhao was loyal to her mother. After her mother committed suicide in her previous life, Aunt Zhao went crazy and went to find the third aunt, saying that it was the third aunt who caused Su's unfortunate death.

The Third Aunt was frightened and ordered the servants to drag Zhao Ma Ma out and punish her according to the family rules. She was beaten with twenty boards. Zhao Ma Ma was already old and died before she could make it.

At that time, Ye Yunzi didn't understand why Nanny Zhao went crazy. Now it seems that she had known for a long time that it was the Third Aunt who killed her mother, so she was desperate for revenge.

How could she bear to let Madam Zhao suffer when she was so loyal and devoted to her mother?

"This is enough."

She said, "Mammy, everyone in the mansion knows what kind of person you are. Mother can't live without you. Mother has been an orphan since she was a child, and the person she relies on the most is you. If you leave, what will mother do when she wakes up?"

"lady……"

Nanny Zhao was trembling and unable to speak.

"As for Qiu'er, everyone has their own choices. She made her decision many years ago. She has nothing to do with us now. Now she has become the concubine of the Ye family. Even if you go to persuade her, she will not listen."

"Miss, I am the old slave who is sorry for you!"

Tears fell weakly, and Zhao Ma choked up and held Madam's hand tightly. "I will take good care of Madam for the rest of my life. I will burn incense and pray to Buddha every day, and pray to God to bless Madam to wake up soon..."

Ye Yunzi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Madam Zhao had given up her thoughts.

She was worried that the only person her mother trusted deeply would leave, and that Aunt Zhao might feel guilty and might become depressed and go down a path of no return.

……

Hou House.

In addition to these trivial matters, there is another major event in the capital, which is the Qing Poetry Festival held every year. At that time, young men and young ladies from all families in the capital would participate, and the scene was very lively. That day was also a good opportunity to show off their talents.

Last year, the young lady from the Ma family won the first prize. She played a piece of music and recited a wonderful poem, which amazed everyone.

As a result, she became a famous talented woman in the capital, and was favored by the emperor, who rewarded her with gold, silver and jewelry.

"Qing Poetry Meeting..." Su Yu was trimming flowers and plants with scissors. The originally beautiful black pine bonsai in front of her was cut into strange shapes by her. Her mind was not on trimming at all.

The maidservant standing by felt distressed, this bonsai was very precious, the young master had spent a lot of effort to get it, but now with just a few snips of the scissors, it was completely destroyed beyond recognition.

"good idea."

Su Yu didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly she laughed, with a hint of coldness in her smile.

"All the great talents will come to the Qing Poetry Conference. If I make a fool of myself, I will become the laughing stock of the whole capital! Ye Yunzi is at the center of public attention right now, so she will definitely be the focus of attention."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a cold look.

Although the news of the divorce between the First Lady and Mr. Ye was not spread on the surface, many people were talking about it behind the scenes.

Ye Yunzi's current identity is awkward. She is neither a lady of the Ye family nor a lady of the Su family. If she appears at the Qing Poetry Conference, she will definitely be looked down upon.

"Yes, she must be invited."

"Ye Yunzi, let's see what you can do this time." Su Yu was annoyed, and with a click, he cut off the branch in front of him.

Then she dropped the scissors and hurried back to her room to write a letter.

The maid looked at the fallen leaves all over the ground and sighed secretly.

Su Yu wrote the invitation letter and asked the servant to deliver it to the Su Mansion.

Ye Yunzi received the letter and frowned, "Qing Poetry Festival? Why would Su Yu suddenly invite me to the Qing Poetry Festival?"

She and this young lady from the Marquis's Mansion have never gotten along. Su Yu would always be sarcastic and mocking every time she saw her, wishing she could trample her under her feet. Now that she suddenly invited her, there must be something fishy going on.

Ye Yunzi is no longer in the Ye Mansion. If she is not invited, she is not eligible to attend the Qing Poetry Festival. She doesn't like crowds and has no intention of going, but now...

"Miss, are you going to attend the Qing Poetry Festival?" Yu Shu asked.

"..." Ye Yunzi's eyes darkened. She did not answer and silently kneaded the letter in her hand.

Yu Shu suddenly remembered something and said, "Master Su Huan also received an invitation letter."

"is it?"

Ye Yunzi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Then let's go and see what she is up to. It is definitely not a good idea."

The largest restaurant in the capital, inside Feihe Tower.

Every private room in the restaurant is meticulously decorated. Today is the Youth Poetry Festival and young masters from various aristocratic families will be here. The private rooms have long been booked by powerful people. From here you can see the scene in the hall and everyone can have a clear view.

Since early morning, there was a constant stream of carriages in front of the restaurant. As soon as one carriage stopped and the young men and women got off, another one would immediately follow.

"Miss Su Yu and Master Su Mo from the Marquis' Mansion."

The carriage stopped and Su Yu slowly walked down. She was wearing a light pink long dress and had the most popular hairstyle. She was bright and charming, and everyone who saw her couldn't help but admire her.

Ye Qianyao, who was not far away, walked over with gritted teeth and greeted him with a smile.

Ye Qianyao still felt bad about what happened at the hunting meeting. Su Yu pushed all the blame on her and slapped her twice in anger. Her cheeks still hurt when she thought about it now. But she had no choice but to try to please him.

Su Yu is the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. Only by relying on her can she get attention. Otherwise, as a small daughter of the Ye Mansion, no one would even look at her.

"Miss Su." Ye Qianyao said with a smile.

Su Yu glanced at Ye Qianyao, snorted arrogantly, and ignored her.

Ye Qianyao stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Su Yu took a few steps and said loudly, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and catch up."

"Okay." Ye Qianyao followed behind her, suppressing her demeanor and acting like a little follower behind Su Yu. When the other young ladies from the noble families saw this scene, although they didn't say anything on the surface, they were secretly laughing in their hearts.

Su Yu walked into the private room, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I invited Ye Yunzi."

"Invite her?" Ye Qianyao was surprised. She didn't know why Ye Yunzi had to be invited specifically. If she wasn't invited, Ye Yunzi would not be eligible to participate in the Qing Poetry Conference and would not be able to make friends with others here.

"Humph." Su Yu snorted coldly, "Do you think she can be in the limelight here like this?"

"..." A strange look flashed in Ye Qianyao's eyes.

Su Yu continued, "She is in an awkward situation right now. Her mother just divorced and there are ugly rumors going around in the capital... The young masters and young ladies from the noble families present here value reputation and face the most. If she shows up here, she will definitely be looked down upon."
