C125 (1/2)
When he saw that he was about to arrive, the mansion started to get busy. This was also the last holiday before New Year's Eve, so the commoners still cared a lot. The kitchen in the mansion also began to prepare the Sunrise food.
”Miss, the madame has instructed us to go over. The young master is in the manor today as well. She said that since the young master is also here, we should go over together.” Bai Qin had just received a message from the madame.
Hua Yuan nodded. Her hand movements didn't change as she continued drawing, but her mouth said, ”Then let's go.”
He finished his last stroke. ”Let's go.”
Hua Yuan brought her and Bai Qin over to the courtyard. Along the way, she met Yuan Shi. Yuan Shi smiled and Hua Yuan walked over to her. ”Mother, did the madame also call you over?”
Yuan Shi nodded and said, ”They said it's just a few days ago, and it just so happens that we have to call everyone in the mansion over. It's also for the purpose of gathering.”
When these words came out of He Shi's mouth, Hua Yuan's intuition told him that he didn't believe it. She had never taken the initiative to call them over. Other than when there was something she needed to do, she was usually unwilling to let them walk around in front of her. What had happened today was truly a bit too strange.
”Mother, I keep having the feeling that this matter isn't that simple.”
However, the Yuan clan smiled and looked towards the old lady, ”No matter what, let's go take a look first. Regardless of what tricks she is trying to pull, we will just watch on.”
Over the years, the Yuan family had clearly seen that the madame was born to oppose them.
When he arrived at the old mistress' residence, Hua Shihao and Hua Shifan were already there. She was accompanied by Hua Shihao's two concubines and Hua Shifan's wife, Mrs Liu. The outer room, however, did not come because it was not convenient to have a big belly.
Hua Yuan was surprised. This was the first time she had seen the old mistress having such a happy time. ”My respects to the old mistress. She is very healthy.”
Old Madam He unexpectedly let them stand up with a chuckle and said, ”Stand up, take a seat.”
Hua Yuan instantly felt flattered. She felt that the madame's scheme was rather scheming today. After everyone had sat down, the old lady said, ”By the looks of it, I am indeed quite old. The last time I saw my niece at the Grand Princess's estate, I was more and more nostalgic about my family.”
Hua Yuan knew that the madame was here.
As expected, he heard her say, ”That day, when my niece saw it, she felt that fate had brought her. I intend to accept her and accompany her for a while.”
Upon hearing these words, Hua Yuan knew that the madame was actually planning something like this. Before anyone could say anything, the madame waved at Hua Zimo and said, ”Zimo, you've grown so big in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, he knew so much, and was also good at reading! ”What a good child.”
Hua Zimo walked over to the madame. He didn't say anything, but the madame seemed to be in high spirits. She smiled lovingly and said, ”Come sit beside Grandmother.”
He had never cared about this grandson of his in his past life, so now he wanted to have a chat with him? It was too disgusting!
Hua Zimo's expression was not intense, naturally he didn't show any disgust, but his face was expressionless. He just sat there, showing his estrangement and good upbringing.
Madam He said, ”Wanying can be considered a cousin of yours. She has already met Fei and Iris. You are the only cousin she has never met.”
Hua Yuan had an innocent expression as she asked, ”Grandmother, are you planning to stay in the house for a while?”
At this moment, Hua Yuan already understood the meaning behind the madame's words about asking He Wanying to come over and pulling her brother along. Although an Elementary Scholar wasn't a rare sight, an Elementary Scholar in his teens, and even the head of the desk, was a rare sight to behold. Naturally, even the madame knew that such a talent would have a bright future for Hua Zimo!
