Chapter 149 Call her Grandma!
Qiu Xinyuan.
"Sister Dingxiang, do you think the Old Madam can take over Ruyanlou from Aunt Wu?"
Mo Yu looked at Ding Xiang.
Dingxiang glanced into the house.
He whispered, "Don't speak so loudly, or the girl might hear you."
Yesterday, when she accompanied her daughter to the old lady's acupuncture treatment, the old lady asked her about her daughter and the prince.
While He Yuyan was out washing things, Dingxiang recounted the whole story of the hunting trip in Qingshan.
She also embellished the story of the Crown Prince's favoritism towards Wu Weiwei and told it to the Old Madam.
The old lady didn't say anything at the time.
But she knew that between the young lady and Aunt Wu, the old lady definitely favored their young lady.
I'm sure they'll cause trouble for Wu Weiwei when they get there.
Sure enough, she had just heard from the servants in the mansion that Granny Zhang had gone to Biyunting to deliver a message.
Wu Weiwei followed behind Zhang Mama all the way to Yong'an Hall.
She wondered why the old lady would be looking for her.
Could it be that her frequent trips out of the mansion lately have caused her dissatisfaction?
Or do you want to eat the medicinal food she makes?
But I had just prepared a nourishing medicinal meal for her a couple of days ago.
She remembered that the old lady had praised her highly at the time.
Forget it.
Thinking about it all is pointless; you'll know when you get there.
Yong'an Hall.
As soon as Wu Weiwei entered the room, she noticed that the old lady was scrutinizing her with an unprecedented look.
His gaze was sharp and inquisitive, like a razor-sharp knife.
The thought of thoroughly dissecting her from the inside out sent chills down her spine.
"Weiwei greets the Old Madam."
Wu Weiwei respectfully bowed to the old lady seated on the throne.
The matriarch, seated at the head of the table, looked even more dignified in her magnificent attire.
She slightly raised her eyes and said calmly, "Get up."
Wu Weiwei stood up and slightly raised her eyes.
"Madam Wu, I heard you went out of the manor today to attend to matters concerning the shops?"
The old lady spoke slowly, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Reporting to Madam, Wei'er recently took over two shops and went over to handle some matters."
He Qingruo wondered to herself why the old lady had brought this up...
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You've looked a bit thinner lately. Are you managing to keep things at the shop?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Weiwei immediately understood.
So the female lead was jealous of what she got from Prince Min and the Crown Prince?
So, when they couldn't get it from the Crown Prince, they came to the Old Madam and whispered in her ear.
Is this an attempt to use the old lady to seize her things and get a share of the spoils?
Haha, that's really a clever tactic.
This is something she obtained through her own abilities.
I've already swallowed it, how could I possibly spit it out?
A slight smile curved Wu Weiwei's lips.
She said softly, "Grandma, Wei'er has indeed been quite busy lately."
I was thinking of asking Sister He for help, but the Crown Prince mentioned it when he was on a business trip yesterday.
Sister He has been very busy these past few days, leaving early and returning late, so busy that she hasn't even had time to visit the young master at Qingsong Courtyard.
The prince told Wei'er not to bother Sister He, so Wei'er dared not trouble her..."
Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, the old lady frowned.
She remembered that Dingxiang hadn't told her that yesterday.
The old lady scrutinized Wu Weiwei.
Wu's words were sweet, and Yan'er's heart was kind.
She was content to be merely Ting'er's concubine.
But who would have thought that Wu would take advantage of her grandson's favor and go out to do business?
Although the Great Wei Dynasty allowed women to engage in commerce.
But after all, this is a Marquis's mansion, a respectable family in the capital.
She had mentioned this to Ting'er more than once, but Ting'er always comforted her, saying that once they had suffered losses, they would settle down and stay in the backyard.
So she waited for two months.
As a result, over the course of two months, Wu's business grew bigger and bigger.
Now even Yan'er, who has been brought back to the Marquis's mansion, has been taken to do business.
They've completely disgraced the Marquis's mansion.
That's alright.
The noble ladies of the Dingguo Marquis's family, as well as the women of her maternal family and grandchildren, were on good terms with him.
Whenever I come to visit.
They kept telling her to talk to the Wu family and ask them to make an exception and get them a VIP card.
He and Liu had tried every means to stop Wu from doing business, so how could they bring themselves to mention it in front of her?
Of course, she did feel quite honored when these wealthy ladies asked her to do things for them.
That's why she's always been in a state of contradiction.
Now, the whole capital knows that the two concubines of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion are doing business outside.
She wanted to stop it, but she was powerless to do so.
After all, Ting'er is now in charge of the Marquis's mansion, and Wu'er and Yan'er are his concubines.
He didn't care that if his wife talked too much, it would only displease his eldest grandson.
Wu Weiwei lowered her head; that was indeed what the young master had said to her that day.
It all depends on whether the old lady can accept it or not.
If she insists on giving half of the business to He Yuyan.
Then this...
A wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips.
She will definitely make Lu Hanting pay her back tenfold or a hundredfold, just like Wei Yuan did.
"Alright, since Ting'er gave you instructions, then you should manage it well!"
She knew Yan'er.
Previously, in order to escape Ting'er, he eloped with a scholar.
Now that her eldest grandson has brought her back, I'm afraid she doesn't care much about Ting'er.
Even when Ting'er was injured, he didn't even bother to look at her.
To be honest, the old lady did have some issues with He Yuyan.
In contrast, look at the Wu family.
I heard that during the days that Ting'er was recuperating at home, she took care of him without leaving his side for a moment.
Compared to Yan'er, she truly put in her best effort.
No wonder Ting'er dotes on her so much.
Looking at Wu Shi again, the old lady suddenly found her more pleasing to the eye.
"Ms. Wu, come here."
He looked at the old lady with a kind and gentle expression.
Wu Weiwei was stunned for a moment.
But he still walked forward quickly.
"Old lady."
Just as Wu Weiwei was about to kneel down, the old lady reached out and pulled her back.
"You don't need to be so formal with your grandmother."
The old lady held her hand and said, "From now on, when we're alone, you should call me Grandmother, just like Ting'er does!"
"Is this okay?"
Seeing the old lady's sudden change of attitude, Wu Weiwei was surprised.
The old lady nodded at her.
"grandmother……"
Wu Weiwei called out sweetly.
"Hey!"
The old lady pulled her to a seat to the side and then ordered a maid to serve her delicious tea and snacks.
Wu Weiwei sat in Yong'an Hall for a full two hours.
She finally left after having dinner at Yong'an Hall.
Watching Wu Weiwei's figure disappear out of the courtyard gate, Granny Zhang looked at the old lady with a smile.
"Grandma, now you can give an explanation to your uncle's grandnephews, right?"
Thinking of the old lady's troublesome relatives, Granny Zhang was also at her wit's end.
Aunt Wu just promised the old lady that she would wait until her Jade Butterfly Manor reopened.
They will definitely arrange VIP cards for all the female relatives of the old lady's family, which will make the old lady feel better.
Before leaving, she was asked to take out several boxes of valuable bird's nest from the storeroom as a reward for Aunt Wu.
Outer courtyard.
A maidservant waiting outside watched as Wu Weiwei finally emerged from Yong'an Hall.
The maid frowned slightly upon seeing the gift boxes she was carrying, and then hurried away.
