When Su Xiaoxiao heard the other party say this, she no longer insisted.

She asked the old woman to rest in the room first and took Xiao Ran to the yard.

She whispered, "This old lady is so pitiful, why don't we help her?"

Xiao Ran was puzzled, "How can I help?"

"Once her leg is healed, how about letting her come work for us?"

"That's fine, but can this person be trusted? Is there any danger?"

"Isn't that right? But, just in case, let's investigate her before deciding whether to use her or not. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, that's settled! This old man keeps his house so clean, he must be very skillful at work."

"Ok!"

The two negotiated and returned to the room.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Your legs and feet are not very convenient and you need to rest. I will have someone bring you some food in the next few days. You should take good care of yourself!"

The old woman never expected Su Xiaoxiao to say that and was stunned.

"This……"

Her nose felt sore and a warm current flowed from her eyes.

"I'm so sorry! I can't accept any reward without merit. My dear lady and this gentleman don't have to work so hard for me. I feel so unworthy of it!"

"There's no need to be like this, old man. It's just some food, nothing to worry about. Please take a rest first, we won't disturb you!"

After Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran finished talking, they left the old woman's house.

After doing good things, you always feel good.

Xiao Ran said: "In order to reward my kind little wife, I decided to take her out for a big meal!"

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Young wife? So you have an older wife? Or a middle wife?"

Xiao Ran realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly slapped his mouth and apologized.

"No, no, it's not true, my dear wife! You are the only wife I will ever have in my life! 'Little wife' is a nickname I give you to show my affection, it doesn't mean anything about age!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, not quite believing it.

"Really?"

"Of course! I swear to God!"

Xiao Ran was so scared that he immediately stretched out three fingers and sweared to the sky.

Su Xiaoxiao was amused by his frightened look and grabbed three of Xiao Ran's fingers.

"What oaths are you making? If that thing were useful, there would be no need for government in the world. Besides, if you really dare to betray me, I will not let you off easily. I will give you a letter of divorce and leave you as a discarded husband!"

Xiao Ran quickly stood at attention, like a soldier following the orders of his superiors.

"I'll listen to my wife!"

Then he looked lazy again, took Su Xiaoxiao's arm, and put his head on her shoulder.

"I will definitely behave well so that you will never have a reason to divorce me!"

"That's pretty much it!"

The two of them went to eat, chatting and laughing.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves on the trees.

This is what peaceful and sweet days should be like, but many times things go against our wishes.

Two days later, Su Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, so she took a lunch box to bring food to the old woman.

Because they had investigated in advance that the old woman's surname was Wang and she had lived here alone for many years, and she was not a bad person, they felt at ease to deliver food to Grandma Wang.

She had just walked a short distance out of the house when she saw Du Mei walking towards her supported by Nanny Shen.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw an acquaintance, she immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Old man, are you here to see me?"

Du Mei looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a kind look.

"Yes!"

"I'm going to take food to Granny Wang and will be back soon. Why don't you wait for me at home first?"

"I don't have anything to do, why don't I go with you?"

"OK then!"

The three of them came to Grandma Wang's house. When Grandma Wang saw Su Xiaoxiao coming, she immediately smiled happily.

"Thank you for personally bringing me food, young lady! Thank you for your hard work!"

"It doesn't matter. I'm fine anyway."

After saying that, she introduced Du Mei and her servant who came in later to Grandma Wang.

"I met some acquaintances when I came here, and they came with me."

When Granny Wang saw Du Mei, she recognized her identity at a glance, and a look of disbelief flashed across her eyes.

How did Su Xiaoxiao know Du Mei?

Could it be that……

She couldn't imagine what would happen next.

Looking at Du Mei again, her eyes were calm, and she didn't seem to recognize her.

She was relieved.

That’s right, she was just a servant back then. How could Du Mei, who was so high up, recognize her?

She quickly regained her composure and pretended nothing had happened.

But she still felt guilty and always made small mistakes.

Although Su Xiaoxiao sensed something was wrong and thought there might be outsiders around, Grandma Wang was a little nervous.

Du Mei and her servant also noticed Grandma Wang's reaction.

When Nanny Shen saw Granny Wang clearly, she recognized her. She did not say anything, but gave Du Mei a look.

The two have been master and servant for decades, and Du Mei understands what he means.

The two of them remained silent and just accompanied Su Xiaoxiao to deliver the meal.

After delivering the meal to Grandma Wang, Du Mei and her servant accompanied Su Xiaoxiao back home.

On the way, Nanny Shen whispered something in Du Mei's ear. Du Mei was shocked and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

But she soon regained her composure.

"Great! You came just in time."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled about what the two of them were talking about, and asked with a smile, "What are the old men whispering about?"

Du Mei smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a trivial matter! By the way, how did you get to know Granny Wang?"

Then, Su Xiaoxiao told the story of how they met.

Du Mei nodded after hearing this.

"I see! Oh, by the way, I just remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't be with you today. I'll come talk to you another day!"

"Okay! Then go slower!"

The two said goodbye, and Su Xiaoxiao hurried back home, but Du Mei and Shen Ma returned the same way and went to Grandma Wang's house.

……

Two days later, Nanny Shen came to give Su Xiaoxiao an invitation.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the invitation and found that Old Madam Du Meidu invited her to go to the Wei Mansion to prepare some food.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Nanny Shen in confusion, and then suddenly realized.

"Could it be that the old lady is Madam Du?"

Nanny Shen nodded slightly, "Exactly!"

"No wonder the old lady has always refused to reveal her identity. That's why."

"The old lady is away from home, so it's inconvenient to reveal her identity casually. I hope Miss Su will understand."

"Excuse me, I understand. May I ask Aunt Shen what Madam Du likes to eat so I can prepare it!"

"The old lady said that as long as Miss Su made it with her heart, she likes it. I hope Miss Su can come to the Wei Mansion on time tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, Madam Shen, I will be there on time."

When Xiao Ran came back, Su Xiaoxiao told him about this, and Xiao Ran was also shocked.

They never thought that they would be able to meet the mother of a great general. It was truly a great honor.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao arrived at Wei's house on time.

Du Mei said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. Before I leave, I really want to eat the food you cook. I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Madam Du is going back to Beijing so soon?"

"Yes! Something happened at home and I need to go back quickly!"

"In that case, I'll go make food now. Please wait a moment!"
