Nanny Liu also had tears streaming down her face. “Matriarch, you have to take care of yourself. Eldest Miss is still counting on you…”

Without suffering the pain of others, you don’t know the pain of others. The Matriarch had lived too hard in this life. She had schemed for her entire life, and none of it was for herself.

The next day, another imperial edict came from the palace. This time, it was an order from the Xie family.

Madam Xie had passed away many years ago, and her imperial edict had been received by her daughter, Yu Youyao.

After this experience, Yu Youyao was much calmer.

Eunuch Zhu looked at Yu Youyao and smiled. “County Head of Shaoyi, the mingfu has been completed, so I brought it over.”

Yu Youyao’s eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly thanked him. “Thank you, Eunuch.’

She did not think that Eunuch Zhu had the leisure to come over to read the imperial edict and even help her bring her mingfu over. This was clearly not a coincidence, but a special one.

Eunuch Zhu’s voice was gentle. “It was nothing. County Head Shaoyi, you’re too polite.”

With that, he clapped

A few palace maids carried silver palace plates and entered one after another. In the blink of an eye, they stood in a row in the front hall.contemporary romance

On the palace plate, there was a pearl-green crown, a large red sleeved shirt, a real purple embroidered golden robe, a lanshan, and a matching pendant. Every item was exquisitely carved.

The title of nobility of the imperial family was different from an imperial order. It was represented by red, a phoenix, purple, golden patterns, and so on. There was a large red satin embroidery at the waist that symbolized the nobles of the clan.

It was roughly similar to the imperial order, but the patterns were different. The colors were also gold and purple. It looked more imposing and solemn, but it followed the rules strictly.

Yu Youyao’s level as a fifth-grade county lord was inferior to her grandmother.

Yu Youyao thanked Eunuch Zhu again.

Eunuch Zhu nodded with a smile and did not even sit down. He only said, “The emperor is worried about the drought and there’s a flood in Zhejiang. Recently, his health has been deteriorating. It’s not convenient for me to stay long, so I’ll return to the palace to serve him.”

It seemed that he had not said anything, but the words “drought” and “flood” had already expressed what he meant.

After Eunuch Zhu left, Old Madam Yu stared at the luxurious county lord’s order on the table. “I’ll order someone to send a token to the palace in a while. Tomorrow morning, you’ll wear this county lord’s outfit. Go to the ancestral hall first and offer the memorial to the ancestral hall. After paying respects to your ancestors, follow me into the palace to show your thanks!”

The drought could be slowed down, but the flood could not be delayed.

Eunuch Zhu was reminding their family to enter the palace as soon as possible to thank the emperor.

Yu Youyao nodded. “l understand, Grandmother.”

Old Madam Yu was not in good spirits. “You’ve already learned all the rules in the palace from Nanny Xu, so there’s no need for me to say anything else. Anyway, we’ll be together tomorrow. Just learn from me. You’re a county head, and this is your first time entering the palace, so it’s inevitable that there will be some oversights. The palace won’t hold it against you.”

There were many rules in the palace, and it was not something that could be explained clearly by one person.

If she went once, she would know what to do the next time.

Yu Youyao nodded. “l know the rules of the palace. Grandmother, don’t worry.”

Old Madam Yu smiled and forced herself to perk up. She also mentioned all the rules and matters that she needed to be paid attention to in the palace. She even repeatedly explained some important things a few times. She said that she did not have to say much about these rules, but she was still worried about her granddaughter. Unknowingly, she spoke too much.

By the time she finished speaking, almost an hour had passed.

Old Madam Yu looked exhausted and said, “Money is just a worldly possession. Now that there are natural and man-made disasters, even if there aren’t so many schemes in the palace, our family still has to do our best. It’s not just because of you. Don’t let one’s imagination run wild.”

Her grandmother was worried that she would think that the schemes in the palace were all directed at her. The Yu Residence was only implicated by her, so she blamed herself.

Actually, this was not wrong.

From the beginning to the end, the scheme in the palace was only her money.

Yu Youyao did not feel that she should blame herself for this. However, when she saw that her grandmother was becoming thinner and older day by day, she still felt terrible.

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart. “In life, there are things to do and not to do. All 1 ask is a clear conscience. Grandmother taught me this since I was young. I’ve always remembered your words.”

Old Madam Yu was in a daze for a moment. “My mother taught me the same thing when I was young.” Unfortunately, she still remembered this sentence, but she still felt guilty. “Not only do I have to remember, but I also have to display it.”

Yu Youyao looked at her grandmother’s stumbling back and suddenly realized that there was a lot more white hair on her grandmother’s head. Her eyes turned red.

“Grandmother—” Yu Youyao called out delicately.

Old Madam Yu subconsciously turned around.

Her granddaughter threw herself into her arms and hugged her waist tightly. “Grandmother, you have to be fine.”

Old Madam Yu’s eyes turned red. She did not hug her granddaughter and say anything personal like before. She only patted her back. “If you’re well, I’m well.’

Ever since April, the smile on her grandmother’s face had decreased day by day, and she had become more and more worried about her. She often held her hand and explained many things, often talking about the past.

She also tried her best to hand over all the matters in the residence to Concubine Jiang and not let her get involved anymore.

She tried her best to help her grandmother recuperate, but her grandmother was old and had been sick for many years. Her foundation was severely damaged, and her body had barely recovered a little. She was also weakening because of her Yang issues.

During this period of time, many schemes in the palace had followed. One after another, they were all hurdles that her grandmother could not get over.

They were directed at her and the Yu Residence..

There were even more schemes that happened and she didn’t know the reason behind them.

Her grandmother’s spirits were deteriorating day by day. Even if she increased the amount of spiritual dewdrop, it was useless.

Yu Youyao was really worried, but no matter how worried she was, she couldn’t help her grandmother resolve all the worries in her heart. Old Madam Yu returned to An Shou Hall to have some peace.

Qing Xiu came over to report, “Master is here.”

Old Madam Yu leaned against the couch, twirling her prayer beads in her hand. She said weakly, “l know why he came to look for me in such a hurry.” At this point, a look of mockery appeared on her face. “Tell him that I’m not feeling well. Tell him to go back on his own. He doesn’t have to tell me what to do in the palace tomorrow. Although I’m a woman, I know what to do to not let down the emperor’s grace. There’s no need to go to Yao Yao. We’ve already prepared what needs to be prepared.”

With that, she seemed to be really tired. She stopped twirling her prayer beads and slowly closed her eyes, leaning against the couch to rest.

Qing Xiu lightened her footsteps and quietly left the inner room, relaying what the Matriarch had said..
