The leaves are still wearing cloaks, after all it's late when they return.

  She brought amber today.

  It's not that amber is dressing up, but... whether or not it's believable, newcomers will always be used anyway.

  Besides, Ah Yuan and Ah Ling are trustworthy people, so it's fine to just ask them to keep an eye on the house.

  Newcomers can't be used, always don't know if they can be used or not.

  Amber was delighted in her heart, whether it was serving Gege or being a concubine, she always hoped to be reused.

  There are only a few people in Jin Yu Ge, and now in Zhuangzi, there is no distinction between first and second class.

  They're all second-rate anyway.

  Just as they were approaching the main courtyard, they saw Geng Geng bringing a young maid over.

  Ye Zao smiled and stepped forward: "Hello, Geng."

  "Hurry up, are you okay? No need to be so polite, don't strain your injury." said Geng Shi with a smile.

  She wasn't hurt, but she also heard that this injury was hard to heal, and in her heart, she thought that if she just collapsed because of the wound after asking for a moment's peace, it wouldn't be worth it.

  "It's not just that I'm a bit weak, I have a lot of it on my body. The imperial physician said that I need to nourish the inside, whether you can see it or not, but my body is now empty." Yezao spoke straightforwardly.

  "You can say that you are being taken care of now, but take care of yourself. Now the fourth master is favored and well-maintained, but if he loses favor in the future, it's hard to say."

  It's not that Geng wanted Ye Zao to lose favor, but in Geng's heart, there was no one who wouldn't lose favor.

  Laughing and joking, they entered the main courtyard.

  As expected, Mr. Li hasn't arrived yet. Instead, two children were sent in first by the front yard.

  The lady came out smiling and said: "Since you're here, take a seat, Ye Shi, there's no need for you to pay your respects."

  Ye Zao still knelt down and asked for a peaceful settlement.

  The princess didn't say it out loud, but she was obviously delighted in her heart.

  "You're too obedient, sit down... Oh right, you can't sit?"

  "Fortunately, Huifu Jin can sit now." Ye Zao hurriedly said.

  The princess nodded and ignored her.

  "Turning back to ask Da Gege: 'Da Gege, why hasn't your mother come yet?'"

  Dà Gé Gé is six years old this year, and it's not like she's an ordinary child from any family. She's quite embarrassed: "Tell the empress dowager that I don't know."

  The empress smiled and seemed harmonious, but actually ridiculed: "Your mother has always been like this, you also know. You must not learn from her. Women should be gentle, virtuous, and thrifty."

  The meaning of this is that Li's behavior was not gentle, not respectful and not virtuous.

  Although Da Gege was only six years old, her wet nurse beside her was no longer young and lowered her head, not daring to respond.

  These words will eventually be said to Li Shi, and Fu Jin naturally wants to say them to Li Shi.

  Before long, Li arrived.

  Her complexion wasn't very good, but she still paid her respects to Fu Jin, and was a bit more subdued, becoming more serious.

  After all, in more than a month, Fourth Master had come to Zhengyuan and Fuhuang for dinner several times, but he hadn't set foot in Li's courtyard.

  If you still don't understand, then Li is an idiot.

  After that, it was Geng's and Ye's turn to pay their respects to Li's family.

  After seeing Ye Zao, Li's hands were clenched into fists.

  Fortunately, Chunhua pulled her over.

  "Get up, all of you."

  Ye Zao sneered inwardly, would Li Shi also have a day of retreat? She really hoped that Li Shi would not know how to repent and continue to make things difficult for her.

  "Go and see if Master is coming soon, once he arrives we can set up the meal."

  Li Daquan responded with a "yes" and left.

  The two brothers, Da Gege and Er A'ge, were delighted when they saw their mother.

  Fourth Master did not prohibit them from meeting their mother and son. It was Li who didn't propose to take the children, so the children continued to live in the front yard.

  However, there is an opportunity to see Li every day.

  Li saw that Da Gege had something to say, but her eyes stopped her from speaking.

  The wet nurse of Da Ge also pulled Da Ge a little, and Da Ge sat obediently.

  The imperial concubine witnessed all of this, but merely sneered coldly.

  Fourth Master arrived after a moment, wearing a dark-colored long gown, with his hands behind his back, and the ring was still on his thumb.

  Walk in slowly.

  Everyone asked for peace, he subconsciously took a look at Ye Zao who was kneeling, and then looked at Fu Jin: "Get up."

  Ever since being bewildered by the great white fox spirit in broad daylight, I've seen her twice, but didn't stay overnight, and we didn't even have much conversation.

  Ye Zao's eyes were glued to Si Ye's body, how could he possibly not notice?

  Not just Siye, everyone saw it.

  Li's face turned even more unsightly, since entering, Fourth Master hadn't given her a single glance.

  The empress dowager didn't say anything, but seeing Li Shi like that, her heart felt a sudden pang of pain.

  She didn't expect Fourth Master's favoritism anymore, but Li Shi still had hopes in her heart. Now, she couldn't even compare to a mere concubine, it was really laughable.

  What's called appreciating the moon is actually just an excuse, isn't it really about finding an opportunity to make amends with Fourth Master?

  So after the moon appreciation ended, Fourth Master finally gave Fuhuang face and stayed in the main courtyard.

  Li brought his children back to their own yard.

  Geng and Ye Zao went their separate ways.

  Li Shi was so angry after Da Gege finished speaking on behalf of Fu Jin that she was trembling with rage.

  Dà gé gé perhaps didn't understand the meaning of those words, but she remembered them.

  "Good, Mother's big brother don't listen to her nonsense! She wants to ruin you, ruin all of you! Don't be afraid, Mother is here, Mother will protect you! You are still your Ama's most beloved children. Must make Ama happy, remember?" Li held Big Brother tightly and pulled over her son to hold him too.

  Tears flowed out uncontrollably.

  "Mother... I remember, mother don't cry." Da Gege choked back a sob.

  "Good girl, Mother won't cry." Li thought she could smile, but her eyes became even more sour.

  "Elder sister, tomorrow our daughter will ask Ama to come and see you!" said Da Gege.

  "Shut up! Who taught you that?" Li suddenly let go, staring wide-eyed, and then stared at the nurse standing on one side: "Was it you?"

  The wet nurse hastily knelt down: "I should be dead, but...but the eldest princess said a word and you came, why do you have to confront each other with him?"

  "Li gritted her teeth: 'You damned slave! Who told you to teach my elder sister to do this? If it happens again, I'll have your whole family killed!'"

  Afraid of scaring the children, Li didn't say anything else and comforted them for a while until they fell asleep before sending them to bed.

  She then called the wet nurse again: "Kneel down."

  The wet nurse knelt down.

  "Even if I've fallen out of favor and died, those two are still the young masters of the estate. Even if Fourth Master has abandoned me, they're still the esteemed children of Fourth Master! It doesn't matter what happens to me, but it matters for them. You'd better remember this: from now on, no matter what happens to me, the children are not allowed to plead on my behalf, not a single word!"

  She can use her children to gain favor when she is favored.

  However, when out of favor, never allow children to help, and don't let them get involved in the slightest!

  Even the most ruthless person has a kind side; Li's softest spot is his love for his son.
