After Nanny Qian left, the sky gradually darkened.
Xie Anning sat alone by the window, quietly thinking about something, and no servant dared to enter to disturb him.
She waited until her personal maid Peirong came back after sending the young master back before she carefully lit the candle.
The bright candlelight ignited. Peirong looked at her master sitting alone by the window. Her heart ached and she whispered, "Madam, it's time for dinner."
"Let's go. I have no appetite." Xie Anning glanced out the dim window and asked, "Is the master back?"
She had previously instructed people not to pay attention to Wang Shaofu's whereabouts, so when he suddenly asked her this time, Peirong couldn't answer for a moment. She hurriedly went outside to ask the servants walking in the outer courtyard, and when she came back, there was a hint of joy on her face.
"The master has returned and is in the study now."
If it’s any later, I’m afraid we’ll have to go to Jingshuyuan again.
The girl's marriage has encountered some setbacks, so of course her father should be worried.
Peirong thought about this and asked in a low voice, "Madam, please go over and discuss the Yao family's affairs with the master."
Xie An Ning pondered for a few breaths, then slowly shook his head and said, "Don't worry. I guess the Yao family will come to apologize tomorrow. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Her husband, who once loved her as deeply as gold, has changed his mind about her.
In fact, Xie Anning was not so confident about whether he still had fatherly love for their daughter.
…………
As Xie An Ning expected, with the Imperial Concubine Jiang Lingyue personally paying attention to this matter, the Yao family attached great importance to it.
On the morning of the second day, the old lady of the Yao family prepared generous gifts, brought her three daughters-in-law, and Yao Ronger to personally apologize.
After a while, Yao Yushu, who had temporarily asked for leave from his superiors, also arrived.
He was wearing an official robe and bowed deeply as he entered, his attitude of apology being extremely sincere.
He was polite in his every move and looked like a promising and ambitious young man.
Seeing that her future grandson-in-law was so talented and handsome, the old lady of the Wang family, who had just learned that her eldest granddaughter's fall into the water was not an accident, looked a little better.
In fact, this matter is not small, but it is not big either.
After all, nothing happened to their girl except that she was a little frightened and caught a cold.
It will get better after some rest.
It was her husband's sister-in-law who pushed her into the water in public. Since the Yao family came to apologize, they also admitted their family's fault.
When their daughter gets married in the future, she will probably feel guilty about what happened today and will not set too many rules.
As for the Miss Xu who was instigating this behind the scenes, none of the ladies present took her seriously.
But I'm just a concubine, even a 'noble' concubine, so what?
In a noble family like theirs, which husband doesn't have a few concubines in his courtyard?
It is not wrong for a man to be romantic, as long as he does not go beyond the boundaries of his wife. The good relationship between his wife and concubine can better demonstrate the mistress's skills and be praised by people.
If a mistress does not even have the ability to control the concubines in the backyard and treats them as enemies, that would be truly laughable.
Of course, the Wang family would naturally demand an explanation for a concubine like Xu Xinru who instigated the other girls in the mansion to murder the future mistress before she even got married.
The eldest lady of the Yao family scoffed at this and said, "There's no such thing as a noble concubine. Considering that Xu is so devoted to my son, we will give her the title of a lowly concubine and bring her into the family. We will have no objection to how Wanniang will deal with her in the future."
To express her apology, the old lady of the Yao family even promised that the concubines in the backyard must not stop taking contraceptive soup until Yao Yushu turns 30.
A concubine's son can only be born after the age of thirty.
This is already a great sincerity.
The Yao family was very respectful, so Old Lady Wang naturally didn't make things too difficult for them. She looked down at the eldest daughter-in-law and said with a smile, "Is Wan'er feeling better now? Your future mother-in-law is coming to visit. Why don't you ask her to come out and greet you?"
Even though she was dissatisfied with her eldest son's daughter-in-law who had left him without a male heir to carry on the family line at the age of thirty, Mrs. Wang still put on a good face in front of outsiders.
But Xie An Ning simply said, "Wan'er fell into the water and caught a cold. She can't get out of bed, let alone the wind. I'm afraid she can't come."
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall for a moment.
"It's okay. Restoring your health is more important," the Yao family's eldest wife hastily said, "It's my son's romantic affair that has caused Wan Niang to suffer. He should personally apologize to his wife."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yushu, who was sitting at the end of the table, immediately stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "I will go and apologize to Wan Niang right away."
These words made Mrs. Wang, who had been insulted by her daughter-in-law, feel a little better, and she pointed to a maid to lead him.
…………
Jianxia Courtyard.
Wang Wan was indeed still recuperating on the bed. It would take her a long time to recover after soaking in the cold lake water.
When Yao Yushu arrived, it was Nanny Qian who went in to inform him.
In fact, she had already completed the task assigned by her master and could have returned to the palace to report.
But after reporting the findings to the palace yesterday, someone came from the palace early this morning and conveyed Jiang Lingyue's oral order, asking her to continue staying at the Wang family and return to the palace after the matter was completely over and settled.
So, Nanny Qian could only continue to take care of Wang Wan in the courtyard.
When Wang Wan, who was flipping through a book out of boredom, heard that Yao Yushu had arrived, she was stunned.
After thinking for a long time, she said, "Please invite him into the main room."
After saying that, she put on an outer coat, casually tied up her long hair, and wrapped herself in a cloak to block the wind. Then she walked out of the room and headed towards the main hall.
Yao Yushu had just sat down on the soft chair in the hall when a graceful figure appeared outside the door.
This was the second time he met his fiancée.
The last time they met briefly, Yao Yushu was only deeply impressed by her bright eyes.
He remembered that this was a girl full of vitality, far from being dignified. She did not seem like the kind of person that could be brought up in the old-fashioned and conservative Wang family.
