When he thought of the fact that he was going back to the capital, Madame Zheng was filled with joy, especially when he thought of how his eldest daughter no longer needed to marry into Weir Prefecture.

"When we return to the capital, QingJiao's marriage will be much easier. After all, there are many noble families in the capital, and since the lord is in a position of power, he can't be chosen by our family."

"For example, we, Qingyan, will be married back to the Weir Prefecture in a year and will even be people like that. As a mother, how can you be at ease?"

The drooping flower gate was truly a scene to behold, it was filled with flowers and flowers, and it was full of vitality. Thinking about it, although the distance from Weir Prefecture to the capital was not very far, it was still far away, yet they had to carry their families, carry their luggage and carry them around. With one walk, it took them nearly a month, and it was already the end of May.

Although the flowers in early summer weren't as lustful as the flowers in the early summer, there were still many that bloomed extremely well. Looking at the nine melodious corridors that led to the courtyard, although they weren't as extravagant as the Hou Mansion, they were still brilliantly painted.

"Let's first enter the main house to pay our respects to your grandmother, then follow your grandmother's instructions to visit our own rooms. Remember, that's your grandmother. Please be respectful to me."

The Master Zheng instructed. When he thought about how he had not seen his mother for nine years, he was extremely excited, even if he did not need to return to the capital to report on his work, he could still return to the capital for three to five years. For some reason, the marriage documents that he had sent for three or four times were all rejected.

"Understood, Father."

The three daughters nodded and replied. Master Zheng nodded in satisfaction when he saw their daughter, who was well-mannered. He even intentionally glanced at Zheng Qingluo.

This third daughter was extremely willful. She had been hired by the manor to teach a few times, but no matter what, she was still unsatisfied. In just a few days, she had chased him away, making him worry.

Fortunately, Madam Ye consoled herself with the fact that the Third Young Miss was just a girl and that she wasn't planning to sell her daughter. Even if she didn't know, it wouldn't be a big deal.

When she reaches the age of thirty and chooses a younger disciple to marry off, with the support of our family, she won't have a hard time. If she doesn't want to learn those things and can't, then let her be.

He was here anyways, he couldn't let her down. In the end, he still had an official like her. Just like the Madam said, if she found someone with a lower position, her husband wouldn't dare to bully her.

"Good Mother!"

When they entered the main house, Master Zheng was the first to kowtow on the mat, while Madame Zheng was the first to kneel on the mat, following Master Zheng to kowtow three times to the old lady.

But with her sharp eyes, Zheng Qingluo saw the contempt flash across the eyes of the very formally dressed old woman. Zheng Qingluo quickly withdrew her gaze and secretly raised her eyebrows.

"Grandmother, please!"

After Master Zheng and Madame Zheng stood up, Zheng Qingluo and the other two sisters lined up in succession, kneeling on the mat and kowtowing to their grandmother Pang Shi.

"Everyone wake up, everyone wake up. God has pity on us. Grandmother hasn't seen us for a long time." He waved his hand and called the three young mistresses over. After looking around, he grabbed Zheng Qingluo's hand.

"Qingluo?" Zheng Qingluo didn't dare to confirm anything, so she obediently answered, "Grandmother!"

She pulled Zheng Qingluo into her arms and called out to her with her precious heart. Zheng Qingluo was a bit surprised, from the looks of it, her grandmother must have felt sorry for her, so why didn't she keep him by her side?

"Why are you so skinny? It's obvious that your father didn't take good care of you. Hmph —" The old lady raised her head and snorted at Master Zheng, who was sitting beside her.

"Your father said that he wanted to be closer to you, saying that children cannot leave their parents, and must bring you to the Weir Prefecture. Otherwise, how could grandmother bear to send you to such a far place, it would be hard on my son."

The old lady spoke while wiping her tears, her words and words saying that the Master Zheng did not give her all, secretly accusing the Madame Zheng of not taking good care of Zheng Qingluo.

The men were all looking outside, so the things in the house were obviously managed by the women, but Zheng Qingluo finally understood, so there was actually such a thing. Zheng Qingluo glanced at Master Zheng from the corner of her eyes, this father really made people speechless.

Since he wanted to get along well with his daughter, he didn't pay any attention to his daughter. He had listened to everything that the Madame Zheng said without personally witnessing it for herself.

And in the family, even though there was a grandmother who liked her daughter, he didn't allow her to stay. This father, acting in the name of loving his daughter, was really too disappointing for him to do something like hurting her.

Mother, it is all your son's fault, it is not your fault! Madam has been taking care of your son for nine years in Weir Prefecture, helping him take care of the house and raise your child, doing everything well and not making the slightest mistake.

This Master Zheng was really emotional, not only did he reject him, he even respected him. It was likely that he was very satisfied with Madame Zheng.

In this era, a man was still a man with some status. To be able to be so diligent towards a woman, from a maid to a concubine, then finally becoming the legal wife, and experiencing twenty years of trials and tribulations without changing his feelings, was truly deep in love.

This kind of man was clearly a responsible man, but what about his mother? This kind of man, once he had fallen in love with her, would not hesitate to help her. Although his mother came late, he would definitely obtain Master Zheng's respect with his position as the principal wife.

Zheng Qingluo looked at her father, whom she hadn't seen a few times in nine years. She wondered what kind of man he was.

"You don't have to say so much, I can see that. I'm just very curious as to where your eyes are, and where they have gone to, and how could they be girls without their food or clothes. Look at Qingluo's clothes, they're just like this material, can someone like us carry them on her body?"

Grandmother Pang Shi, the old lady of Zheng Mansion, used his hand to stroke Zheng Qingluo's skirt with eight steps of raised thread. His rough touch made her nose sour.

The matriarch knew that this girl would definitely treat the child left behind by the previous wife very badly. However, she didn't expect that if she couldn't even be bothered to care about face, then how harsh would she be towards this child?

Mother, it's not like that, it's because Qingluo doesn't want to wear the clothes that Madam has chosen for us. You also know that when Qingluo's mother went there early, neither of us were willing to go against her wishes.

Zheng Qingluo almost laughed out loud when she heard this. She could believe it, but this man really couldn't see through her. Was she stupid or did she just pretend she didn't know the truth?

"A girl in her teens might be in love with beauty, but it's impossible for her to not wear good clothes. If I were to say that she didn't do it because of me, I would still believe it."

Old Madam Zheng sneered. "What you're saying is that to make things difficult for the matriarch of your house, Qingluo intentionally wore bad clothes to show off her ugliness."

"Hey, although it was your first day in the capital and I shouldn't have bothered to argue with you about this, I truly pity that child Qingluo. Since you said that, then let's see what the truth is."

"I didn't want to make things difficult for you, your wife, but since you said those words, as if I, this old lady, was being unreasonable, I must let you see what the truth is."

After pressing Zheng Qingluo down beside her, Madam Zheng's wife, Pang, felt a bit of heartache as she caressed her cheeks. "Look at her face, it's green and white. Look at her delicate, beautiful, pink, and rosy cheeks. There's no need to compare them."

Old Mistress Zheng sighed. "The truth that I could see with just a glance, you actually ignored it all. Are you really the child's father?" Or have you never seen the child at all? "
