Qingshan Farm was far away from the capital. Mo San drove the carriage very fast, but it took him nearly two hours to return to the mansion with the potatoes.

"My Lord, please take these potatoes back to the Emperor first."

Gu Yunxi hurriedly asked Mo San to carry down a large bag of potatoes and move it to the carriage of Marquis Yongchang.

Marquis Yongchang had already become a little impatient waiting. When he saw Mo San coming back, he took the potatoes and hurried home.

Now, only Xiangyu and his two grandchildren are left in the Marquis' Mansion. He has been away for a long time and is always worried about them.

Gu Yunxi personally watched Marquis Yongchang leave before returning to the yard and instructing Mo San to deliver the potatoes he had brought back to the grain shop.

Nowadays, grain prices in the capital have risen, and grain shops in many places are even unable to purchase grain.

The Lu family grain store had purchased a lot of grain before and now had a lot of grain in stock, so business was still going on normally.

In addition, potatoes were transported to grain stores in bags, and many people came to buy potatoes, so people bought less grain.

After receiving the order, Mo San transported the potatoes to the grain shop, and gave Mr. Fan a few words of advice before rushing back to the mansion.

When I returned to the house, by chance, I met a woman dressed as a maid from a wealthy family who was about to knock on the door.

Mo San seemed to have a vague feeling that he had seen the clothes worn by the old woman somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

"Are you here at the Lu family to look for someone?" Mo San asked.

The old woman smiled and said, "Hey, you are the housekeeper of the Lu family, right? I have seen you in the Lu family embroidery shop before!"

Mo San was surprised. He had indeed gone to help out on the day when the Lu family embroidery shop opened, but he had never seen this old woman!

It's really strange, who is this woman? Who is she looking for at the Lu family?

"I'm from the residence of Lord Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Our eldest lady asked me to deliver a letter to Madam Lu, Young Madam Lu." The old woman said with a smile.

"Butler, I wonder if you can take me to see Madam Lu?"

Mo San suddenly realized that the clothes this old woman was wearing were the same as the ones worn by the maid beside Madam Xu that day!

"Oh, it turns out to be Madam Xu's mother. Come, come in quickly, I will take you to find our madam." Mo San hurriedly asked the doorman to open the door and led the old woman into the mansion.

Along the way, the old woman kept her eyes straight and behaved very well.

When he saw He Feng and Gu Yunxi in the main house in the front yard, he bowed and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu, Madam Lu, our eldest lady asked me to deliver the invitation."

"The mansion will hold a banquet the day after tomorrow. Our eldest lady would like to invite your female relatives to come to our house for a short visit."

He Feng was slightly surprised. He took the invitation and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. We understand."

After reading the invitation, He Feng handed it to Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi glanced at them and asked with a smile, "Mom, how is your eldest wife these days?"

"Yes, it's great. The lady has obtained some good embroidery pieces and has been very happy these days. When she has nothing to do, she embroiders in the house." The old woman replied with a smile.

Gu Yunxi laughed when he heard that.

I guess Madam Xu has already been to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and got a good embroidery piece from Granny Dong?

It is said that the embroidery works of an accomplished embroiderer like Granny Dong were once worth a fortune, so it is no wonder that Madam Xu was so happy.

Gu Yunxi asked the maid who delivered the invitation to sit for a while before telling Xiao Cui to see the guest off: "Xiao Cui, take Mom out."

Xiao Cui was the manager of the inner courtyard. She was very familiar with dealing with such people. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly led the old woman out.

When he reached the door, he gave the old woman a purse full of small change.

The old woman smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, and kept thanking her: "Oh, Madam Lu is so polite. Miss Xiao Cui, thank your young lady for me."

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Mom, you're welcome. Our lady is visiting Madam Xu, so please send the invitation."

The old woman left the Lu family happily and went to the Xu Mansion.

Xiao Cui went back to report: "Madam, Young Madam, the mother from the Xu Mansion has returned."

Gu Yunxi nodded and said to He Feng, "Mother, why would Madam Xu invite our women to the Xu Mansion for no reason?"

He Feng shook his head, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, could she have known something? Could it be that she knew the identity of your grandmother?"

Her mother, Mrs. He, said that day that if she guessed correctly, this Mrs. Xu was her nephew from her mother's side.

Madam Xu is also a smart person. If she goes back and thinks about things carefully and connects them together, she will find that the clues are normal.

However, Gu Yunxi did not think so. After thinking about it, she still felt that it might be because of Mrs. Yuan.

"Mother, I think it might be because of Master's wife, and Mrs. Xu's respect for Granny Dong, that's why she thinks highly of our family, right?"

"Besides, when my grandmother married my grandfather, how old were the nephews on my grandmother's side? Madam Xu married him later, so how could she know my grandmother?"

After hearing this, He Feng thought about it and felt that what Gu Yunxi said seemed to make some sense.

"So according to what you said, should we go or not?" He Feng was a little embarrassed and couldn't make up his mind.

Because she knew that the Xu family was most likely her mother's family.

If she goes, what will her mother think when she finds out? I don't know if her mother wants to continue to be associated with her family.

It would be so embarrassing if mom doesn’t want to be involved!

Compared to getting closer to wealthy families like the Xu family, He Feng naturally cares more about her mother's feelings. If her mother doesn't like it, then she'd just forget it.

Gu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "How about we talk to grandma about this? Let's hear what grandma has to say first."

He Feng also thought that this was the right approach, and after that, the two of them took the invitation and walked towards the room where Mrs. He lived.

"mother!"

"Grandma!"

He Feng and Gu Yunxi walked in with a smile and saw Mrs. He had just finished copying the scriptures and was folding them up.

Seeing her daughter and granddaughter-in-law coming over, Mrs. He smiled and said, "How come you have time to come and see me?"

Usually at this time, He Feng would go and play with his grandson, and Gu Yunxi would be even busier. Not only was he busy with the affairs of the mansion, but he was also busy with the affairs of the embroidery shop outside and the affairs of the manor...

It is only during dinner time that the whole family can get together and have a good conversation.

He Feng sat down with a smile and said angrily: "Oh, mother, what are you talking about? I missed you, so I came to see you!"

As she spoke, He Feng took Mrs. He's arm and acted coquettishly.

Mrs. He was very happy. She poked He Feng's head and said with a smile, "You, you are already a grandmother, why are you still like a child!"

"As long as my mother is around, I will always be a child." He Feng smiled happily.
