s waist and softly said, “Husband, I'm glad I married you.” No matter what happened in the future, at least she felt very happy right now.

 

Yun Qing stroked Yuxi's head and said with a smile, “What a silly girl.” It was undeniable that Yuxi's words still greatly pleased him.

 

Yuxi smiled.
“Let's go to sleep! You still have to go to the army camp early tomorrow!” Although her heart ached for him, she also knew that the only way for Yun Qing to take his revenge was to climb to a high position.
Therefore, rather than stopping it, she would help him achieve his wish as soon as possible.
The only thing she was glad for right now was that Yun Qing wouldn't be blinded by hatred with Uncle Huo by his side.

 

It was a perfect night's sleep for both of them.

 

The next day at dawn, Yun Qing went to the military camp.
By this time, Yuxi was still sleeping soundly! She slept until the beginning sishi before she finally woke up.

 

Just as Yuxi sat down to brush her hair, she heard the maid outside informing her that the Er Nainai Zhao had come.
Yuxi looked at her puffy eyes in the mirror and said, “Please ask Er Nainai Zhao to come in!” She knew there was something wrong with her look.
As it happened, she wasn't going to hide this matter from the world.

Er Nainai Zhao was relieved that Yuxi had just welcomed her in.
When she heard that Yuxi was sick early that morning, she was shocked.
Her anxiousness made her go straight to Yuxi's gate to visit her.
Fortunately, Yuxi was not ill, despite noticing the depressed look on her face.
“Meimei, why are your eyes swollen like this?” The news of Great Old Lady Han's passing was not known to outsiders for the time being.

 

When Yuxi heard her question, her eyes turned red again.
“My Grandmother passed away……” Yuxi had deliberately practised crying back then.
Although not up to the point of her being able to instantly weep, it was not a problem for her to at least fill her eyes with tears.
Her tears would soon fall over if she let her eyes that way for a while.

 

When Er Nainai Zhao heard this, she hurriedly asked, “When did this happen?” According to the age, the Great Old Lady Han should be 60 years old.
Those who pass away at this age could be considered dying of old age.

 

Yuxi choked up and replied, “Almost a month ago……”

 

Er Nainai Zhao comforted her.
“Don't cry.
The Great Old Lady passed away of old age.
If you cry too much, it won't be good for your pregnant body, and your Grandmother won't be able to rest in peace while she is down in the Nine Springs.”

 

Hearing these words, Yuxi's tears became even more raging.

 

Seeing this scene, Mama Qu sighed and told Er Nainai Zhao.
“Er Nainai, what you don't know is that my Madam's heart is currently suffering.
Before the Great Old Lady passed away, she left her last words, forbidding my Madam from observing mourning for her.
After my Madam found out about this, she fainted and cried her heart out yesterday.”

 

Er Nainai Zhao let out a cry of surprise and asked Yuxi, “The Great Old Lady forbade you from observing mourning for her? Why did she do that?” These last words were really baffling!

 

Yuxi choked up as she explained.
“My Dage said that my Grandmother thought I had been taken away by the barbarians, then lost my innocence and life in their hands.
She thought I had tarnished the Han family name and wanted to remove me from the clan.
My Mother opposed her, causing my Grandmother to have a stroke, and she had been in poor health ever since.
My Mother told me that my Grandmother left this kind of last words because she felt that if it weren't for us, she would not have had a stroke, collapsed and suffered so much.
She hated my mother and me.”

 

Er Nainai Zhao was dumbfounded.
“She could even blame you for this?” Not to mention that it was just a body double.
Even if it was the real person, that person was already dead.
Despite that, it was despicable for someone to request to expel the deceased person from the clan. [+]

Zijin could not help but persuade, “Madam, don't cry.
If you continue to cry, it will not be good for your health.
Even if you do not think of yourself, you should think for the child!”

 

When Er Nainai Zhao heard this, she hurriedly joined in.
“Yes, yes, what Miss Zijin said is right.
You must take care of yourself.
The older your Grandmother was, the more heretical her temperament would be.
I suspect she had lost her mind and became confused because of her illness.
Otherwise, she certainly would not have left such last words.”

 

Yuxi's face was filled with grief and indignation.
“Since childhood, I have always been respectful to my Grandmother.
I even prepared hand-sewn clothes for her throughout the year.
I do not understand how she could do this to me? If word of this spreads, those who know will say she is sick and confused, but those who don't know, won't they think I'm being unfilial?”

 

Er Nainai Zhao quickly said, “Meimei, don't overthink it.
People will know something is wrong as soon as they hear this.
A grandmother would never say that her married granddaughters were not allowed to observe mourning unless she had an unclear mind.” If a daughter-in-law was not allowed to observe mourning, outsiders might think the daughter-in-law was unfilial.
However, for a married granddaughter, it was not even her turn to perform any filial duty for her grandmother.

 

Yuxi wiped her tears and said, “My Grandmother used to be nice to us sisters when I was still in the state residence.
She even gave me her treasured jewels for my dowry as I got married.
When I received this news yesterday, I felt the sky was falling on me.” It was natural to tell the truth to Yun Qing, but she couldn't do the same to outsiders.
On the contrary, one must tell the others how loving and amiable Zhou Shi was.
This way, people would think she was genuinely sick and became muddle-headed for leaving such last words.

 

After listening to Yuxi's words, Er Nainai Zhao exclaimed, “You see what I said, right? Since the Great Old Lady loved you so much, she must have been so ill that she left such ridiculous last words.
She probably didn't even know what she was saying!”

 

After talking for a long time, Yuxi's emotions finally eased down.
“Jiejie should stay until noon and have lunch here!” Er Nainai Zhao had rushed to see her immediately after hearing something had happened to her.
For this reason, Yuxi would surely remember this mutual affection from Er Nainai Zhao.

 

Er Nainai Zhao nodded.
“Okay.
Since you're not afraid of me chattering away, then I'll stay.”

 

Shiliu brought water to clean Yuxi's face.
After freshening up, Yuxi went inside and put on some rouge and moisturising powder, and her face looked much better.

 

 

Er Nainai Zhao looked at the moisturising powder on the dressing table and asked, “This moisturising powder is really good.
Where did Meimei buy it?” When she heard it was brought from the capital, Er Nainai Zhao ceased asking about it.
