First Madam Zhang saw that after settling those few servants, Old Madam Jiang was supported as she exited Golden Longevity Hall. Once she was in the main courtyard, she immediately invited a Buddhist great master. Following that, old madam also sent someone to invite a Buddhist great master.

For a span of time, the people in Changning Count Residence were in a state of anxiety. They did not know what happened to old madam and the first madam that they invited Buddhist great masters together.

Could it be that something ghostly appeared in the residence?

The people in the residence who had committed bad things were shocked and scared.

Jiang Ningbao just told Chun Xi to go send the letter and she was in her room relaxing. After Chun Xi went back, she told her the movements in the residence so she knew what Old Madam Jiang and First Madam Zhang did. She could not help but laugh.

"Lady, can it be that something bad appeared in the residence?" Chun Xi asked in worry.

Jiang Ningbao laughed, "I don't know if that happened or not, but the reason why old madam and first madam invite great masters is definitely not this."

Chun Xi was stunned and she thought back to the exclaims she heard in the Golden Longevity Hall. It seemed to be the first madam's voice. She could not keep in her curiosity and asked, "Lady, what exactly happened?"

"Sir duke's sutra." Jiang Ningbao did not tease her and told her the answer.

Chun Xi sucked in cold breath with wide rounded eyes, "Old madam and first madam actually.....actually saw the Buddhist sutra sir duke made?"

"That's right. I've told them that the sutra had sir duke's ominous energy but grandmother and oldest aunt did not believe. They stubbornly wanted to read the Buddhist sutra sir duke made," Jiang Ningbao gasped. Her pair of beautiful eyes were filled with laughter.

Chun Xi widened her mouth and after a while, she spoke dully, "Old madam and first madam are really brave."

"That's right. They're really brave. A few days ahead, oldest aunt might be bedridden and her temper will turn bad and easily angered. Old madam is better, she was not attacked much." Jiang Ningbao sighed lightly and her brows rose with a trace of worry.

Chun Xi: "....."

Her lady was becoming more amazing.

The most amazing was still sir duke. The sutra he made could make people retreat ninety kilometers.

Duke Ding Residence

After Duke Ding escorted Jiang Ningbao and left, Xie Jingyi and Yang Shuqing went to Thriving Joy Hall together with Old Madam Xie.

Yang Shuqing revealed a dignified and gentle smile as she magnanimously send a jar of health preserving wine to Old Madam Xie. This jar of health preserving wine was very precious, but compared to Old Madam Xie's acknowledgement, this jar of wine was nothing.

Old Madam Xie would only live for two more years. In her life before, after Duke Ding passed away, not even two months later, Old Madam Xie also followed.

She more or less needed to wait for two more years.

In the future, the backyard of Duke Ding Residence would be her reign. In the two years, she must not make any mistake.

According to what she knew about Heir Xie these past two years, what Heir Xie felt toward Old Madam Xie and Duke Ding was more of respect and they were not close. Heir Xie was closer to Xie family's second branch.

Yang Shuqing's heart already had an inclination.

Sitting in the main hall, this was the first time Old Madam Xie saw the girl her adopted grandson wanted to marry even though it made him go back on his principles. Anyuan Marquis' oldest legal daughter was good looking with a clear and beautiful face. Her actions were dignified and magnanimous, making people feel favorable.

But after drinking the mystical wine, Old Madam Xie's eyesight was very good. She saw through the vicious tendencies Yang Shuqing hid deep in her eyes and she could not help but knitted her brows. For the first time, she doubted her adopted grandson's eyesight.

Compared to Anyuan Marquis' oldest young miss, Old Madam Xie preferred Jiang family's little lady. Jiang family's little lady had a special bearing and was clean and pure. She seemed weak and feeble but she was actually stronger and more enduring than anyone else.

This kind of woman with a tough and firm personality was very suitable for A'Heng.

"Not a bad lady, Yi'er's eyesight is not bad." Old Madam Xie smiled and gave a sentence of praise. She let old servant Huang keep the wine and took off a good looking bracelet to give as a meeting present.

"Thank you for the praise, Old Madam Xie." Yang Shuqing received the bracelet the old madam sent with a shy face. Her heart was thinking that it seemed that Old Madam Xie's first impression of her was not bad.

Old Madam Xie smiled slightly and sipped her tea.

"Old madam, today is my and sir heir's engagement day, it is not good to see blood. Can sir heir's punishment.....be done on another day?" Yang Shuqing bit her lip and revealed an unsettled expression to Old Madam Xie as she spoke in embarrassment.

Xie Jingyi beside her was stunned. It was obvious he did not think that Yang Shuqing would say this kind of words.

"Shuqing, father's words are decisive, don't make things difficult for grandmother."

Fifty wooden staves was not heavy.

Xie Jingyi knew his adopted father's personality, it was usually settled and decisive.

Especially when this involved grandmother.

Shuqing was making things difficult for grandmother. Once his adopted father knew, he would definitely get angry. Grandmother was adopted father's reverse scale.

A trace of astonishment and wronged expression appeared on Yang Shuqing's face. Her eyes were slightly red as she said, "I just don't want to see blood on our happy day. I don't mean to let you escape the punishment."

"I know, but this is father's command." Xie Jingyi's heart was pulled and he stroke her hair naturally, as if he had done it many times.
