Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Thank you for your concern, old lady. I'm fine and not feeling unwell." The third concubine responded quickly.

The old lady asked this question purely out of concern for the little life in her belly. Otherwise, given her status as an aunt, it would be difficult for the old lady to even take a second look at her.

Just then, Liu and Ye Ziru from the second room walked in. Ye Ziru approached and said with a smile, "Third Aunt is really blessed. She can't enjoy the quietness of the small courtyard. She has to move to the unpleasant-smelling Wenma Courtyard."

"I heard that there is a terrible smell in there. We need to clean it thoroughly. Oh, I have some top-grade incense given by the imperial concubine in my room. If you need it, feel free to use it."

When Ye Ziru heard this, her face turned pale and she clenched her fists secretly.

Moving to Wenmayuan was a pain she didn't want to mention. She was afraid that her clothes would have that smell, so she asked her maid to boil and wash them with flower petals and spices, and then fumigate them with incense. So now her clothes have a light fragrance when she walks, attracting the attention of others.

"Thanks to the Third Miss for her thoughtful consideration for us." The Third Aunt said softly, with a gentle smile, and there was nothing wrong with her words.

Ye Ziru had expected to see them look embarrassed, but she didn't expect them to be so calm. They didn't intend to joke at all. After bowing and greeting the old lady, they sat down on the huanghuali wood chair.

Inside the meditation courtyard, conversations were soft and the atmosphere was peaceful.

The incense was curling up from the incense burner. The old lady sat on it, twirling Buddhist beads in her hands and reciting scriptures silently in her heart.

At this time, Su and Ye Yunzi had just arrived at the gate of Jingxin Courtyard and were about to step in. Ye Yunzi caught a glimpse of Zi Yi quietly slipping towards the backyard from the corner of her eye.

Ziyi is the third aunt's personal maid. What is she doing in the backyard?

Ye Yunzi's eyes darkened, and she called Yu Su, telling her to follow Zi Yi quietly and find out the truth.

"Yes." Yu Shu responded.

After everything was arranged, she stepped into the main hall, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on the mother and daughter.

Su has been in very good spirits recently, and was in great spirits after reuniting with her brother Su Yongyu. She dressed up a little today and looked even more elegant and graceful.

Ye Yunzi was wearing a simple dark green long dress and a few pearl flowers on her head. She looked plain and dignified, exuding a noble temperament.

Her clothes are all from the famous Suzhou embroidery workshop in Beijing. The fabrics are of high quality. Even the seemingly simple long skirt is ingenious. As she walks, the dark green color changes gradually, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The old lady preferred plain clothes to begin with, and when she saw Ye Yunzi dressed like this, she couldn't help but nod slightly. She was indeed the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, with an extraordinary temperament. It was a pity... her last name was Jiang.

Being a member of the Ye family but having a different surname, the old lady could never be happy about it.

"Granddaughter pays her respects to her grandmother."

"Get up." The old lady responded indifferently without saying much.

Ye Yunzi was already accustomed to the old lady's prejudice, so she did not expect any extra attention and sat down calmly.

The only person who could speak on this visit was Liu from the second house. Liu had a pair of children. Ye Yunlang, as the eldest son of the Ye family, was deeply loved by the old lady, and Liu was also highly regarded.

Liu looked at the Third Aunt and said kindly, "Third Aunt, please take care of yourself and give birth to the child safely. The old lady prayed every day, hoping to have a grandson soon. I didn't expect that the Third Aunt would be pregnant as soon as she came home. It's really a blessing."

The third aunt lowered her head shyly and said softly, "This is all thanks to the master's care."

"That's right, uncle really loves you, otherwise why would he welcome you into the family?"

As Liu spoke, she glanced in Su's direction, only to see that Su secretly clenched her hands until her knuckles turned white.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's have breakfast." After Old Madam Ye gave the order, the maids busied themselves putting plates of breakfast on the table, filling up the entire table.

……

After finishing breakfast, the dishes were cleared away, and then a pot of refreshing tea was brewed, the aroma filling the air.

Everyone sat around and chatted about family matters.

Ye Ziru glanced at the old lady from time to time, with a strange look on her face.

Ye Yunzi noticed it, and silently looked at the old lady. At this time, the old lady was about to pick up the Buddhist beads placed aside.

The old lady carried the Buddhist beads with her wherever she went, and only temporarily put them away in the box when she was eating.

She picked up the Buddhist beads and counted them one by one. Before she had counted halfway, the beads suddenly fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

"Ouch, it's all spilled!"

The maids hurried to pick it up, and the old lady stared blankly at the broken beads in her hand and sighed. This string of beads has been with her for more than ten years, and it has become a habit to wear it every day. Unexpectedly,

"Old lady."

At this time, Ye Ziru spoke up, "The old lady's sincere worship of Buddha must have moved the heavens. The broken beads may be God's will."

Ye Ziru's words made people feel comfortable, and the old lady's disappointment was relieved. She nodded and said, "You are right."

The look he gave Ye Ziru was even more gentle. I hadn't noticed it before, but now I think this granddaughter is really wise.

"I'm used to touching this string of Buddhist beads every day. Now that it's suddenly gone, I feel an empty palm." The old lady murmured to herself.

Everyone in the room rolled their eyes, and Liu couldn't wait to say, "I heard that the Buddhist beads in Qinggu Temple can protect the family from harm. How about I go to the temple and ask for a string for the old lady?"

This is a good opportunity to show my ability. If I can do this for the old lady, my position in her heart will be different.

The old lady nodded and agreed: "Peifang, you are really thoughtful."

"Speaking of the Buddhist beads of Qinggu Temple, I happen to have one in my room." Ye Ziru said, "A few years ago, my aunt and I went up the mountain to worship Buddha. On the way, we met an old man who gave me this string of Buddhist beads. Later I learned that he was the abbot of Qinggu Temple."

"I have been keeping this string of beads like a treasure. Madam, you are such a devout believer in Buddhism. It will surely be more effective if you pray with this string of beads."

Everyone's eyes were directed at Ye Ziru. Her faint smile was like a thorn in the back in the eyes of some people.

The old lady hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse: "Ye Ziru is really thoughtful, willing to take out such precious Buddhist beads."

"It's the greatest gift that the old lady has given to allow her granddaughter and aunt to marry into the family. There's no reason to be reluctant about them. Good things should naturally be presented to the old lady first." Ye Ziru's words were just the right amount of sweetness.

The old lady felt relieved. Ye Zi's open-mindedness was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ziru snorted coldly and thought to himself: How pretentious.

"Zijuan, go to my room and get the Buddhist beads." Ye Ziru ordered softly with an elegant posture and a gentle smile.

Ye Yunzi sat upright, sipping tea leisurely, and seemed to be unconcerned about the matter.

At this time, Yu Shu returned quietly and whispered in Ye Yunzi's ear, her eyes occasionally glancing at Ye Ziru with an inquiring look.

"So that's it!" Ye Yunzi whispered, "She is eager to please the old lady."
