Chapter 353: Chapter 208 Decided_3

Afterward, a few people were employed to escort Qian Yixiu and Qian Hua as they left Liang Mansion to return to Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop.

Uncle returned to the main courtyard, where Grandma Liang had already changed into her house clothes, an imperial embroidered short shirt, and a matching long pleated skirt. She personally helped Uncle take off his outer robe and removed his hat. The couple then sat on the heated brick bed in the east-side room to chat.

A maidservant with a slender waist, an oval face, fair skin, and delicate features dressed in a peach-colored armor, came to serve Uncle tea. Her voice was as melodious as a oriole’s, "Uncle, please have some tea."

Uncle glanced at her and nodded his head.

Grandma Liang waved her hand, and the servants all withdrew. Grandma Liang said with a smile, "Uncle, what do you think of Jiao Mei?"

Uncle asked, "You mean the girl who was just here?"

Grandma Liang replied with a nod and a chuckle, "Yes, she was bought by the mansion last year. I had someone train her for six months. I was thinking, Zhaozhao will be turning seventeen in two months. Other young men his age are already married, some even fathers, but he...," she sighed deeply, continuing, "May the Bodhisattva bless him. With the superb medical skills of Old Fairy and Doctor Zhang, that illness has been cured. I want to place Jiao Mei in his room first, then we’ll slowly look for a suitable marriage for him."

Uncle said, "Father mentioned that Old Fairy predicted Zhaozhao’s fortune; he shouldn’t marry early, fearing a disaster involving bloodshed. You needn’t worry about Zhaozhao’s marriage; Grandmother and Father have their plans. As for Jiao Mei, it will depend on Zhaozhao’s wishes..."

Grandma Liang replied with a smile, "How could Zhaozhao possibly refuse? He’s already seventeen. If he doesn’t understand the ways of the world, others will laugh at him." She then asked in a lowered voice, "Did father-in-law really give all three thousand taels of gold to the young lady from the Qian family?"

Uncle laughed, "Of course it was all given to her - could we possibly withhold a thousand?" He then reminded her, "You should have realized that Grandmother and Father both like the young Qian lady very much. From now on, you should show her some respect too; don’t see her as someone poor relying on our Liang Mansion just to make a living..." Seeing his wife’s slightly unconvinced expression, he added, "The young Qian lady is clever and quick-witted. She has an extraordinary relationship with Master Beikong and Hongji, and she also has a deep connection with Zhaozhao..."

Grandma Liang, seldom hearing her husband speak so highly of someone, chuckled coquettishly, "Whatever you say, Uncle, I will do. Rest assured, I will treat the young lady differently. I will also instruct Shopkeeper Cui to take good care of her. I heard from Shopkeeper Cui that if it weren’t for the Liang Mansion’s protection, their family would have been bullied to death long ago and couldn’t possibly do such big business."

Only then did Uncle nod in satisfaction.

After Qian Yixiu returned to her room, she sent Qian Hua out to find a three-section compound. Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop had opened a branch here, and she might often come to Capital City in the future. Moreover, Qian Yeejin would take the imperial examinations, so it made sense to have a decent residence in Capital City.

The backyard was too cramped and teeming with riffraff; it was truly inconvenient for her to stay there. It didn’t matter before when she didn’t have much money, but now that the Liancourt Cosmetic business was booming and the embroidered screens had brought in so much money, there was no reason to undervalue herself.

Qian Hua agreed and left the room.

The anxious Monkey Brother finally got a chance to speak and began gesticulating wildly at Qian Yixiu. He meant to indicate that the tall man had been loitering near the back door again that afternoon.

Actually, on the night when Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop opened, Monkey Brother had already communicated to Qian Yixiu with gestures that the man had been to the Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop. There were too many people that day, and Qian Yixiu hadn’t seen him. She didn’t know whether he went upstairs or heard her heartfelt narration.

If he had, it would truly seem like a fateful design, the earnest wish of her mother to have Brother Jiang see was possibly coming true.

However, a man who could disregard his family’s life and death, leaving home for eleven years without a trace, she would not acknowledge him, even if he showed up to recognize her now. Or even if he intended to return home to seek forgiveness from her mother, she would prevent her mother from acknowledging him again.

What nerve!

Qian Yixiu guessed that he probably remarried for wealth and rank, and may have even fathered a string of children by now - what would her mother and family be to him then?

Even if he hadn’t remarried and had ten thousand reasons for not returning home and neglecting his family,

She wouldn’t forgive him. The only reason she needed not to forgive him was that those ten thousand reasons couldn’t outweigh the lives of her family members. If she hadn’t traveled back in time, even if he had accomplished great things and returned home in glory, what use would it have been? Qian’s third wife would certainly have perished, and her mother’s death would have been even more humiliating...

Moreover, she was now wealthy. If he was eyeing this wealth to recognize relatives, it would be even more disgusting.

Once she had made up her mind, Qian Yixiu was able to fall deep asleep.
