Gu Xin’er clearly wanted to curry favor with Madam Kou, but she was scolded. She could not say anything at the moment. She could only glare at the three children unhappily and put the blame on them.

“My children have always been shy and don’t like to be close to others. Eldest Madam, please don’t mind it,” Gu Qingxue said lightly, “The journey has been tiring. My children and I are tired. We’ll talk to the Eldest Madam tomorrow. Nanny, my grandmother is tired too. Why don’t I send grandmother back first?”

“Yes, Eldest Madam,” Nanny Sheng agreed to Gu Qingxue subconsciously. She was surprised to find that she had agreed to Eldest Madam’s words subconsciously.

In the past, the Eldest madam had a weak personality. She had even been bullied by the servants behind her back. She had never had the courage to order old maids like them.

However, Nanny Sheng had always been loyal to Old Madam Gu. Seeing Gu Qingxue’s change, not only did she not mind, but she was also delighted. She hurriedly escorted Old Madam Gu back to Green Jade Garden with her.

After Old Madam Gu left, Madam Kou continued to say with a smile, “Old Madam Gu’s birthday is in three days. Please come early.”

Seeing that Madam Kou had ordered them to leave, the people from the second and third branches had no choice but to stand up and leave.

Soon, the rest of them left the hall.

Gu Lingyue stood up hurriedly and made a cup of tea for the Eldest Madam. “Mother, please don’t be angry.”

Madam Kou chuckled. “What do I have to be angry about? It’s just that I’ve become more eloquent after my husband’s death. Do you really think she can cause any trouble?”

Gu Lingyue replied with a smile, “Mother is right. Nanny Zhou, what’s wrong with Gu Qingxue?”

Nanny Zhou did not dare to delay things. She told Madam Kou everything that had happened to Gu Qingxue in Qingyuan Town and along the way, she told Madam Kou word for word, “In this old servant’s opinion, the Eldest Miss is indeed different from before. Madam, we must be careful.”

“A leopard can not change its spots. She is just a paper tiger. Today, she has guts in front of her own family, but in front of others, she may not have the ability to do so.” Madam Kou picked up the teacup on the low table beside her, and she took a sip of the mellow tea.

Gu Lingyue thought quickly, “Mother, do you mean that you want Gu Qingxue to make a fool of herself at grandmother’s birthday banquet?”

Madam Kou nodded, “We still need to discuss this matter. Let’s go, we’ll go back too.”

Gu Lingyue nodded and went forward to help Madam Kou out of the hall.

In the Green Jade Garden...

Gu Qingxue used the excuse that she wanted to talk to the Old Madam to drive everyone, including Nanny Sheng, out of the room.

Soon, only the Old Madam, Gu Qingxue, and the three children were left in the room.

The Old Madam looked at Gu Qingxue and the three children, muttering, “Xue’er, Little Xue’er, so many Xue’er.”

Obviously, the Old Madam looked at the three children and felt that they were all miniature versions of Gu Qingxue.

“Great-grandmother, we’re not my mother. My name is Gu Lin, and this is my younger brother and sister,” Gu Lin patiently introduced himself and his younger brother and sister to the Old Madam.

“Lin’er, eat. Eat the pastries. You all eat,” the Old Madam said with a smile as she picked up the pastries and plates on the table.

The three young children returned the smile with a bright smile. Dumby stood on tiptoe and stuffed a piece of peach blossom pastry into the Old Madam’s mouth. “Great-grandmother, eat it too.”

The Old Madam smiled with her eyes curved. She opened her mouth and ate it. “It’s so sweet. Xue’er should eat it too. You like it...”

“Grandma, is there anything wrong with your body?”Gu Qingxue asked the Old Madam with a frown.
