A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 805 - 726: The Old Madam’s Great Joy_2

Later, their mother’s face began to show signs of losing a close relative.

Since then, their mother became very silent, often gazing up at the sky, frequently having insomnia and vivid dreams at night.

Ji Youyuan said, "Mother is troubled at heart. She has unresolved issues. Let’s spend more time with her, cheer her up, and complement it with the prescription I’ve prepared. We’ll treat the symptoms first!"

After that, basically, no one from the family would leave the mansion if they could help it, and they would come home as early as possible. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Even Ji Youcheng, who had been heavily affected by Yunhang’s natural disaster, his second brother’s trouble, and Xiaosuisui’s harmful talk, managed to avoid going to the Bright Moon Pavilion for three days in a row.

Now that he found a good helper at the Bright Moon Pavilion, Ji Youcheng discovered Erhu’s talent in finance while helping people on the street one day.

Moreover, when he learned that most of those living in the rundown courtyard survived on Erhu’s and disabled veterans’ pension money over the years, perhaps because he was the descendant of a war god,

Ji Youcheng decided to lend a helping hand to young Erhu and directly took him in.

He even allowed him to come to Ji Mansion once a day to deliver the accounting books of the Bright Moon Pavilion and take away his directives concerning various matters at the pavilion!

Zhu Xiuxiu several times found herself lost in thought while looking at the back and face of Erhu.

This phenomenon was noticed by Ji Youcheng, so he instructed the steward.

"Next time Erhu comes, take him around in a circle, come in through the small back street gate, and go directly to my study!"

The steward was very surprised and quickly reminded him.

"Young Master Three, it takes only half a quarter of an hour to walk from here to your study, but if you go around and enter the study from the side gate on the back street, it’ll take at least half an hour more!"

Ji Youcheng’s face tightened.

"Why so much nonsense?

Do as you’re told. Are you the master or am I?"

The steward was bewildered by the reprimand, as the third young master was dominant in the business world but quite easygoing at home.

He was also considerate and polite to the servants, but lately, he had been frequently sulking, especially after Erhu started coming to the Ji Mansion!

The steward pondered skeptically and then heard Ji Youcheng add.

"Be careful when you take him around. Don’t let the third lady catch sight of him!

Otherwise, be careful with your skin!"

The steward stood there dumbfounded, thinking deeply for quite a while, and suddenly widened his eyes, muttering in disbelief.

"The third young master’s behavior... could he be attracted to that young Erhu?"

Reaching this conclusion, the steward couldn’t help but be amused.

Hmm!

Lately, the matriarch seems to be in a bad mood; this is a good opportunity to earn some favor!

The steward merrily headed towards the old lady’s courtyard.

At this moment, the matriarch was sitting under the corridor of her small courtyard, hastily making small clothes with the nanny of the princess and Yunxiang and Yunduo.

Wang Dongxue’s belly was getting bigger and bigger, looking like that of a woman eight or nine months pregnant, and people unaware she was carrying twins would certainly think her due date was near!

Originally, she had some difficulty walking these days, but knowing the old matriarch was sad yet kept silent, she thought to herself, let the prospect of being a grandmother make her happy.

So no matter what Ji Youyuan said, she insisted on staying by the old matriarch’s side every day.

Just after breakfast today, she had Ji Youyuan accompany her to the matriarch’s place.

"Your belly is getting bigger day by day. Just stay obediently in your own courtyard and don’t come out. What if you bump into something? What then?"

Seeing her eldest son helping her eldest daughter-in-law, as usual, to report to her small courtyard, the old matriarch hurriedly had someone bring her a soft chair and make tea for supplementing blood, then glared at her eldest son reproachfully.

"Can’t you just stay in your own courtyard to accompany her?

Why always bring her along to my place?

If there’s a stone or something on the path that trips you, where will you cry then?"

Ji Youyuan felt wronged upon hearing this and quickly said.

"It’s not me bringing her along, is it?

It’s clearly her who can’t sit still and drags me here. What are you doing here?

Getting even Nanny Zhang involved!"

Ji Youyuan, upon entering, saw Nanny Zhang and Yunxiang Yunduo holding premium shoe materials, soft fuzzy fabric, the best choice for making children’s shoe uppers.

He didn’t even need to guess that it was for making shoes for the child in his wife’s belly, but to get his mother to talk more and be happier, he deliberately asked.

"These are little shoes for the child in Dongxue’s belly. I see this material is nice, already made a pair for Suisui, and there’s material left for two pairs of infant shoes.

I asked Nanny Zhang to create two patterns of auspicious blessings for them, so these two little guys can share their sister’s good fortune."

Wang Dongxue and Ji Youyuan both nodded continuously, and Wang Dongxue even said,

"That’s wonderful!

Thank you, Mother. You really think of everything!"

Wang Dongxue’s behavior caught Nanny Zhang by surprise.

The princess used leftover items to make clothes for this madam’s child, yet the madam wasn’t angry or said the matriarch was biased; instead, she was extremely grateful.

Does she truly like the princess, or is she only pretending to be virtuous?

Actually, Nanny Zhang knew little about the Ji Family, to say who adored the princess the most, it must be this very person!

While the few were talking, the steward suddenly rushed over, shouting, "Matriarch, great news, great news!"

Everyone turned to the steward, seeing him dripping with sweat, so they quickly asked, "Steward Liu, where does this joy come from?"

Steward Liu promptly replied, "It’s about the third young master and the third lady. Just now, this old servant discovered great news about them!"

"Truly, explain quickly!"

The old matriarch’s face lit up with joy and she hurriedly said.

But just as she finished speaking, Ji Youyuan, who had just sat down without properly settling, suddenly tilted his head, then fell down!

"Eldest!"

"Husband!"

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Why did the eldest young master suddenly faint?"

Everyone was extremely worried, exclaiming in alarm!
