Madam Xie looked at Rao Yufang, who was wearing a pink floral cross-collared long jacket with a light blue trimmed fur-lined cloak – gentle and graceful, pleasing to the eye and comforting to the heart.
“It’s just a matter of going the same way, and it saves your aunt from worrying. Her health isn’t good, and with New Year approaching, there are many household matters,” Madam Xie smiled, taking her hand and having her stand beside her while looking toward the direction Chang Yuncheng was coming from.
Rao Yufang also looked that way, first seeing Chang Yuncheng. Just as she was about to shyly avert her gaze, she noticed the woman following beside Chang Yuncheng, and her expression froze slightly.
That woman… was that the Young Madam?
She couldn’t help but focus her gaze.
Today, because Qi Yue was going out to teach and didn’t want to dress too extravagantly in front of the disciples at Qianjin Hall, she wore very simple clothes with her hair simply pinned up.
This woman’s dress and appearance were inferior to even a maid’s. Rao Yufang couldn’t help but be stunned. Wasn’t she supposed to be a beauty?
At this moment, Qi Yue used her other hand to pinch Chang Yuncheng’s waist.
“Little bastard,” she cursed in a low voice.
Chang Yuncheng didn’t turn around, but used his other hand to slap away Qi Yue’s misbehaving hand.
“You dare cause trouble, just try it,” he also threatened in a low voice.
This bastard had an abnormal mind and could do anything…
He wasn’t afraid of losing face, but she was!
Qi Yue gritted her teeth in hatred but still behaved herself.
Still can’t deal with you… Chang Yuncheng’s mouth curved slightly in a smile. At this moment, he also stopped in front of Madam Xie and the others.
Rao Yufang didn’t dare look much and lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
“Mother,” Chang Yuncheng called out with a smile, simultaneously releasing Qi Yue’s hand.
“Mother,” Qi Yue had to lower her head slightly and say.
Madam Xie wanted to smile seeing her son, but really couldn’t smile looking at Qi Yue, so her expression was very strange.
“You’re here. This is your… sister,” she simply turned to look at Rao Yufang and introduced her to Chang Yuncheng.
Where did this sister come from?
Chang Yuncheng looked over somewhat puzzled.
Rao Yufang lowered her head and curtsied.
“Lord,” she greeted softly.
Chang Yuncheng nodded slightly in return and didn’t look at her again.
“Mother, Yueniang heard that Grandmother’s health is poor, so she also wants to go see if there’s anything she can help with,” he said to Madam Xie, his brows full of joy.
Both Madam Xie and Qi Yue were startled by his words.
Qi Yue stared at Chang Yuncheng, shocked by his rich imagination.
Madam Xie was shocked that her son wanted to bring this woman into the Xie family home.
It must be this woman who heard about it and deliberately insisted on clinging along!
What a shameless servant!
The scene suddenly turned cold. Chang Yuncheng was somewhat surprised. How… how was Mother’s expression different from what he had expected?
Even like this, Qi Yueniang couldn’t win Mother’s favor even a little bit?
Sensing the wrong atmosphere, Rao Yufang also looked up in surprise and confusion. This time she saw the Young Madam clearly and couldn’t help but show astonishment.
Lazy makeup, plain clothes, simply bound cloud-like hair, light rouge and powder, graceful charm beyond words.
Indeed… a beauty…
In the end, Rao Yufang could only sigh with this phrase.
“Your grandmother has invited the former director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to take her pulse,” Madam Xie said coolly, forcing down her hatred.
This was also her son’s concern for his grandmother, so she couldn’t scold him in front of everyone and hurt his filial heart. She would explain it to him carefully later in private.
Her son was still too straightforward and didn’t understand this woman’s scheming mind.
“Having one more person look is also good,” Chang Yuncheng said with a smile, relieved that his mother hadn’t objected.
“I think it’s better to have that director or whatever look…” Qi Yue couldn’t help but interject from the side.
Before she could finish, Chang Yuncheng turned to look at her, his eyes threatening.
Qi Yue swallowed her words. Fine, you think highly of me. Just don’t blame me when you’re disappointed.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go quickly,” Madam Xie said, not wanting to look at this woman for another moment, wishing she would leave immediately. But thinking that if she left immediately, she would be leaving with her son, her heart immediately wished they wouldn’t go.
But the family visit had already been arranged, and not going wasn’t an option.
All because of this shameless servant!
Madam Xie looked at Qi Yue with hatred again.
Qi Yue naturally saw the hostility in her eyes and pursed her lips. Who cares about your precious son anyway?
“This is your aunt’s sister-in-law’s younger sister from the Rao family. She’s going from here to the Shanning Prefecture post station, then returning to the capital. Take good care of her along the way,” Madam Xie pulled Rao Yufang over and said to Chang Yuncheng.
