  "How are you?" As soon as she entered the door, Guan Shi came up to greet her, pulling Ye Zhuo up and down to take a closer look. Seeing that she was not injured, she finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "That grandfather of yours is really an old fool. What does it have to do with you if Gong Shi has a stomachache? But he actually believed the vicious woman's words and drove his own granddaughter out of the house."

  Ye Zhuo heard these anxious words, her heart warmed up. She pulled out her hands and didn't care that the courtyard was muddy, she knelt down immediately and gave Guan Shi a big bow, saying: "Grandmother, Zhuo is now your own granddaughter, please accept my bow."

  Guan didn't stop her and let Ye Zhuo finish knocking her head, then helped her up, wiped away a tear and said: "Good girl, from now on grandma will take good care of you."

  "Cough, cough." Ye Yuqi coughed twice beside him and said to Ye Zhuo, "Let's go inside." Then he led the way into the hall.

  Ye Zhuo followed and entered the house, looking around, saying to Guan Shi: "Where is mother? I'll go give her a bow."

  Guan's family didn't say a word, only staring at Ye Yuer with their eyes. Ye Yuer coughed again and waved her hand: "You don't have to go and kowtow to her, she won't accept your courtesy. From now on, you are just our granddaughter, Pu'er's mother, and you still call her aunt."

  Ye Zhuoxin was deeply moved. She understood that initially, Ye Yuqi and the others had refused to adopt her, but it was because they were afraid of being controlled by Zhao Shi. Now, with her current situation being so bleak, having nowhere else to go except for the nunnery, they had no choice but to accept her. However, in order to protect her, they had set up this identity arrangement to prevent any harm from coming to her life.

  Now that Zhao's so particular about others bullying her husband, and Ye Yuxiu is like this too, she wouldn't make Zhao uncomfortable either. So she responded with a "yes".

  Ye Yuqi continued, "I'll adopt you as my granddaughter, it's also a temporary measure. After all, your mother wanted to take you to the Zheng family, but she had no right or status; my brother would not have been willing to let you go to the Zheng family and lose face. Now that you've been adopted, there's no need to worry about that. If you want to go to the Zheng family to live with your mother, Grandfather won't stop you."

  Ye Zhuo raised his head and said to Ye Yuqi: "Grandfather, I don't know if Autumn Moon has made things clear with you? When Master Airen was asked by me to read my fortune, he shook his head and sighed. Although he didn't say how my fate would be, it seems that it's not good. If you think it's inconvenient for me to stay here, I can follow my mother to rent a house outside and make a living. My mother still has 300 taels of silver on hand, and the two of us can do some needlework to support ourselves. But if you don't mind, Zhuo'er is willing to stay by your side, Grandmother's side, and Aunt's side, serving the three elders."

  "Nonsense! Your grandmother and I are both old folks who will soon be buried in the yellow earth. What's convenient or inconvenient? I'm only saying this because your aunt is worried that something might happen to you, which would make her uneasy. If you're willing to stay, we'd naturally be delighted, how could we possibly mind?"

  Ye Zhuo listened and happily said: "Then I'll go give Aunt a greeting."

  Leaves rustled with a good mood, smiling and waving goodbye: "Go go go."

  "Come, grandma will take you." Gu Shi originally liked Ye Zhuo very much. After Ye Pu died, she felt empty and uncomfortable. Now that Ye Zhuo had come over, with her bright face, the room suddenly felt lively again. Holding Ye Zhuo's hand, she went to Zhao Shi's bedroom next door.

  "Aunt." Ye Zhuo walked to the door, Zhao's thin back was sitting alone there, silently doing her embroidery, and couldn't help but call out softly.

  "Minying, Zhu'er has come to pay his respects to you." Guan led Ye Zhu into the room.

  Zhao raised his head, a stiff smile floating on his face: "Mother." He stood up and looked at Ye Zhuo, "Has Zhuo'er arrived?"

  "Ye Zhuo greets her aunt." Ye Zhuo knelt down, preparing to pay respects to Zhao Shi. For this young widow who insisted on raising children and respecting the elderly, she had deep respect in her heart.

  Zhao wanted to reach out and help her up, but it seemed like he was afraid his hand would bring bad luck, so he withdrew it before touching Ye Zhuo. He looked at Guan with an uneasy expression and said, "Mother, you help Zhuo'er get up." Then he said to Ye Zhuo, "No need for formalities. The ground is cold, hurry up and get up."

  Guan shook his head: "It's rare for this kid to have a good heart, let her give you a bow."

  Ye Chou bowed deeply and then stood up. He sincerely said to Zhao's mother: "Aunt, from now on, I will live in this house with you. You should treat me as your own daughter. If I do anything wrong, please correct me. And those people's nonsense, don't take it to heart either. We are living our own lives, and even our own family members don't take it seriously, so why bother yourself with what others say? If you're not happy, Grandpa and Grandma will worry about you too, and the whole family will live in misery. Isn't that just torturing ourselves? Let's live a happy life from now on, that's the most important thing."

  "Zhu'er's words have touched my heart. Minying, you should think not only of yourself but also of your relationship with me and your father-in-law. Don't always be hiding in this house with a worried look on your face. It pains us to see you like this! Now that Zhu'er is back, let's live happily as a family of four. In the future, when we find a son-in-law for Zhu'er, you'll also have to help her take care of children."

  "Yes." Zhao's voice was gentle as she replied, wiping away her tears. "Mother, I've worried you during this time."

  Guan stretched out his hand, one hand holding Ye Zhuo and the other holding Zhao, smiling: "This is good. Come on, let's go pick some vegetables. Later I'll go cut half a catty of meat and kill a chicken, we'll make a few good dishes, to welcome Zhuo back."

  The daughter had entered the hall and saw Qiu Yue and Qiu Ju sitting there, picking vegetables on one side while chatting with Ye Yuqi. When they saw Guan Shi and Zhao Shi come out, they hurriedly stood up.

  Just now, I was about to pay respects to the three elders and didn't have time to explain the situation of these two maidservants. At this moment, seeing the situation, Ye Zhuo hastily stepped forward and said: "Grandfather, Grandmother, Aunt, these are my two maidservants, they have followed me for several years, and during this period, I relied on their help to run back and forth, so I wasn't bullied by others. I'm afraid that once we leave the mansion, someone will shift their hatred towards me onto them, so I asked Grandfather to bring them out together. Originally, I had promised them well, letting them redeem themselves and return home. In these few days, I will let their families come to redeem them."

  She knew that the people in the main house were poor and weak, and they didn't have any income. Even if they had a few hundred taels of silver, it was still necessary to use them sparingly. As for Ye Yuxiu, she thought that buying two maidservants at that time was already a great indulgence towards her. She couldn't let the two maidservants stay in this house and continue to climb up the ranks. The two maidservants hadn't done any hard work when they were in the Ye household, their embroidery skills were average, and after entering the main house, they wouldn't be of much help, but would instead add two more mouths to feed. If she left them here, she was worried that the people in the main house would have a bad impression of her.

  But unexpectedly, Autumn Moon and Autumn Chrysanthemum exchanged a glance, then knelt down: "Old Master, Old Madam, Madam, we two eat very little, and in the future we don't want wages either. We only ask that you allow us to stay by Miss's side." Autumn Moon couldn't bear to part with Ye Zhuo, while Autumn Chrysanthemum was worried that if she went back home, her brother and sister-in-law would sell her off again.

  Leaf Yǔ Qī yī jiàn, lián shēng dào: "Kuài kuài qǐlái, kuài kuài qǐlái. Nǐmen bié dān xīn, zhào zhe yǐqián, Zhuó ér zhè huà wǒ yě bù chǎng qiáng. Xiàn zài, bú guò shì tiān liǎng zhāng zuǐ de shì, zánmen yīqǐ nǔ lì gàn huó hái pà è jiào zi."

  He turned his head and said to Guan Shi: "On the way back from the second house just now, I thought about it. Since Zhu'er doesn't mind our family being poor and is willing to come and be our granddaughter-in-law, we can't make her live a poor life either. From now on, let's use the money that Jiang's family compensated us with to open a jade carving workshop. We'll buy some low-grade jade materials and hire two jade carvers. It should be enough for us to make ends meet. My body is still able to move around, so I can take charge of this workshop. In the future, when Zhu'er gets married, we can hand over the workshop to our grandson-in-law, which will be a long-term plan. Otherwise, if we just sit back and enjoy what we have, no matter how much money we have, it will eventually run out. Keeping it at home also makes it easy to attract thieves."

  Mr. Guan was delighted: "That's great, let's do it!"

  After Ye Pu's death, this house was like an ice cave, cold and silent, without any warmth. Now that Ye Zhuo has arrived, Ye Yuqi is also getting ready to open a workshop. No matter what, today is lively, isn't it? As long as the days go by smoothly, Zhao's knot in her heart will slowly untie. As for whether opening a workshop will lose money, she didn't even think about it. That sum of money was an unexpected fortune, Ye Pu's ransom, using it to eat and dress would make them uneasy. Now that they're using it, exchanging it for income, it's actually a good thing.

  "Daughter-in-law, what about you?" Ye Yukei asked Zhao Shi again. He used to call Zhao Shi "Pu Er's mother", but later changed his appellation for fear of stirring up Zhao Shi's sorrow.

  Zhao was a gentle and obedient person, so she nodded in agreement with Ye Yuqi and Guan's words, saying "It's fine."

  "That's settled then." Ye Yuqi turned to Qiuyue and Qiujie, "Once the workshop is opened, there will be more household chores. You two girls can stay at home and help out. So don't worry about it. As for your wages, not a single penny will be deducted from yours." With a wave of his hand, "Alright, go prepare lunch."

  Ye Zou naturally knew that, calculating the cost of opening a workshop, Qiu Yue and Qiu Ju couldn't help much. They could only help with some household chores, but household chores were also handled by Guan Shi and Zhao Shi, so they didn't need their assistance either. Ye Yuqi kept them both here, all for her own sake. She was grateful in her heart, but there was nothing else to it. Since the main house wanted to open a workshop, as long as she honed her carving skills and did well with the business, supporting two maids wouldn't be a problem at all. Moreover, she still had the skill of gambling on stones and had 200 taels of silver notes on her person. She wouldn't let her own life make the main house's life more difficult.

  Seeing Qiu Yue and Qiu Ju rushing to cook, Ye Zhuo didn't join in the fun either. She moved a stool to sit beside Ye Yuqi, took out the stone and knife she had carved from her pocket, and asked him: "Grandfather, how is my carving technique?" Apart from the hidden things, she brought these two things with her. The knife was given by Ye Yuqi, and the stone was picked up at random. She wasn't afraid of Ye Yuzhang searching her body either.

  "I." Ye Yuqi took the stone, narrowed his eyes and carefully examined it. After a long time, he nodded: "Good, good, you have mastered all the techniques I taught you yesterday."
