A strange look flashed in Hua Yuan's eyes.
”Sister Chuchu, do you like this purse? Sister Chuchu has been by Grandmother's side for so many years, even more than my own granddaughter. My father and mother have told me many times that Sister Chuchu is good, and I have long considered Sister Chuchu as my own sister. Sister should not reject my gift. Although this purse is not worth much, it's still a gift from someone else! ” The nine-year-old Hua Li was born with an exquisite and adorable appearance. His skin was as white as snow, and his pair of shearing eyes were like two black pearls. He was extremely spirited, making people feel pity for him.
”In that case, Chuchu will do as you say.” ”I thank you, second lady. I owe you a favor. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you.” Looking deeply at the innocent looking Hua Yuan, Chuchu said with a complicated expression.
The purse seemed ordinary and unremarkable, but to Chuchu, it had an extraordinary meaning.
”Sister Chuchu, you are too kind.” Hua Yuan did not openly agree, but she did not refuse either. There was still a hint of playfulness on her childish face.
”Madam, Second Miss is here.” Chu Chuchu brought Hua Yuan to the back hall. It was the place where the madame rested after reciting her sutras. It was a small courtyard. Usually, the madame lived there as well, so she rarely went out.
”Granddaughter greets Grandmother. Grandmother is blessed.” Hua Yuan slightly bent her waist and respectfully bowed to the madame. However, this courteous gesture from Zhou Quan lacked intimacy and contained a bit more estrangement.
She looked at Chuchu with a faint smile on her face. ”Chuchu, I have some cloth for you to take out and make some good clothes for me. I haven't been out for a long time, so I need you to pay a hundred taels of silver to the accountant for a walk. Don't hold yourself back too much …” The madame had completely disregarded the existence of Hua Yuan's granddaughter and had treated Chuchu with all kinds of kindness. The treatment she had received was like the difference between clouds and mud.
”Madam, Chuchu already has a lot of clothes. Please keep the clothes for her. [Chuchu doesn't like to go out. She can't wear so many clothes …] Chuchu politely refused. She had been serving the madame for so many years, so she naturally understood her intention. Although she pitied the Second Miss, she was powerless.
Hua Yuan stood at the entrance, not saying a word.
In her previous life, how could she think that the madame was a kind and kind old man? The disdain in her eyes was so obvious. How come she didn't notice it in her previous life at all?
”Fei, come over.” The old mistress waved at Hua Yufei, who walked over to greet her with a sweet smile. ”Grandmother!” The smile on the old mistress' face intensified.
”Our Hua family is made up of three generations of elders. In the past, your great-grandfather followed the late emperor and conquered this family, making great contributions to our family. Your father is now the most important position of the Prime Minister, and can be said to be above all others. Your grace and kindness, our Hua Clan descendants must remember it in our hearts, and not disgrace this royal grace, and bring shame to the ancestors of the Hua Clan, do you know that? ”
