I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 30 Retreating to Advance
I'm afraid it was given by Sister Xue Chi's fiancé.

"Thank you, Sister Xuechi."

Xue Chi showed a happy smile from time to time, and Yue Shu felt relieved, at least Sister Xue Chi and her fiancé were still in a good relationship.

She was afraid that such a good sister would be delayed by Yu Lu.

He was also afraid that if Yu Lu's affair became known to others, Sister Xue Chi's marriage would be affected.

"No need to be so polite to me."

Xue Chi was in a good mood and took some spiritual fruits. In order to make her husband's family look respectable in front of the old lady in the future, she gave them to the old lady to taste.

Yue Shu also packed up her things and reported to the old lady.

The old lady saw that she had just returned and said, "Girl, I feel that your mood has changed a bit after being away for a few days."

Indeed, my life has become more carefree, my mind has become more open, and my cultivation has increased faster than before.

"Don't think that she is having fun, she is still thinking about you!" Xue Chi also happily massaged the old lady's shoulders.

"It is said that he also brought a small ceramic doll for the old lady?" Xue Chi asked Yue Shu.

"Yes, it's fun to think about it, just like it would be great if I could make the old lady happy."

The old lady also wanted to take a look at the porcelain doll, so she ordered someone to bring it to her.

"This is Yizhai's craftsmanship. You really put a lot of effort into it."

"The old lady knows so much!" Xue Chi also asked in a flattering way.

"I did have a pair when I was young, but I've lived long enough to forget where I put them."

"However, the things in Yizhai do cost some spirit stones!"

"I originally thought that being able to make the old lady laugh is already a great favor, and the spirit stones are nothing."

Seeing her beautiful face and warm heart, the old lady nodded and accepted it.

Watching the old lady chatting and laughing with other palace maids, Yue Shu returned to her job and prepared to start looking for some work to do.

At this time, Congshuang came over with a box.

"This is what the old lady wants to give you."

Yue Shu shook her head repeatedly, "It's not a big deal, old lady, you don't have to be like this!"

"The old lady saw that you, a mere maid, didn't earn much, yet you were willing to spend money on her. Moreover, you were thinking of her the first time you went out. This shows that you are a sincere person to her in your heart."

"You don't have to feel too burdened. You don't have to bring gifts when you go out to play. If the old lady says to play, just have fun. Don't let her become a burden."

"The old lady is the kindest grandmother." Yue Shu nodded.

"The old lady knows your thoughts, so she thinks of you like this." After Congshuang handed the box to Yueshu, she said,

"Also, the Third Lady gave some fine fabrics to the maids in our room a few days ago. I have your three pieces. You can go get them from me when you have time."

Cong Shuang paused, then continued, "If your big bunk bed is inconvenient, you can put it on my side first."

Yue Shu was deeply moved when she heard Cong Shuang's words, and she started to work on her job again.

Congshuang saw that she was very steady at a young age and had no intention of having fun outside the palace, so she left with satisfaction.

Only after Cong Shuang left did Yue Shu pick up the small box. It was a treasure box made of bright red rosewood and had a luxurious style.

There were several new things in it, including three moon-white pearls of different shapes shining with silver light and inlaid with white jade in the middle. Looking at their exquisite appearance, one could tell at a glance that they were the rare East China Sea Spirit Pearls.

There were also three small jade rings, each smooth and clean like the surface of a lake, with slightly concave circles and ripples in the center, which were just right for her. Yue Shu was overjoyed, looking around and touching them as if she had found a treasure.

After admiring it for a while, I put it away and continued with the work at hand.

It was not something that needed to be rushed, so Yue Shu became even more careful, making the clothing softer and more delicate, without even a trace of thread.

Whether the clothes or robes are well made or whether the work is done carefully, others may not know, but the people who wear them will definitely understand.

When Yueshu finished making the clothes and presented them to the old lady, the old lady naturally understood what was going on.

Since the Third Prince got married, his career has flourished, his cultivation has become more advanced, and the Third Lady has done everything very meticulously. It is said that this marriage is a rare match made in heaven.

The Third Lady was always grateful for the love of the Old Lady and the Queen, and would often serve and accompany them, and would often share with them any new and rare treasures she found.

But the old lady had seen everything after all, and she didn't care much about her appetite. She was always willing to try new things and would give some to the palace maids around her.

The Third Lady didn't care about these things. She was always very gentle towards the palace maids in the old lady's room, and she didn't have the arrogance of a senior sister from a big sect at all.

As a result, the palace maids in the old lady's room praised the Third Lady even more.

One spring afternoon, the Third Lady was playing Mahjong with the Old Lady. At this time, a palace maid came in and told them,
"I'm reporting to the old lady. Mr. Ling wants to see you. He said he's here to apologize to the old lady."

Yue Shu was still working on embroidery carefully at this time. When she heard this, she stopped immediately and looked at Yu Lu's graceful figure in front of her.

I'm afraid he's here to break off the engagement.

As he was thinking about it, an elderly man with a slightly bent body and hunched back walked in.

After paying his respects to the old lady, he knelt down and apologized to her.

The old lady was a little confused. After all, the old man who followed her was always very steady and had a lot of face in front of her.

"Why are you here to apologize? What happened?"

The old man was silent for a long time, as if he had made some important decision, and then he said, "My son was disobedient and unfilial, so he fell in love with a girl from a small sect."

"I came to apologize this time because I couldn't marry Miss Yu Lu, who was in front of the old lady. I made the old lady sad, wasted Miss Yu Lu's best years, and betrayed the old lady's trust."

There was silence in the hall.

The old lady was silent for a long time, then said,

"Have you thought it through?"

The old man didn't say anything, just knelt there quietly.

The old lady sighed, and seeing Yu Lu crying, she didn't blame the old man too much. After comforting her with a few words, she ordered people to send him back.

The old lady was very confused. It was obvious that Young Master Ling had always valued Yu Lu and didn't seem like someone who would change his mind. Also, Old Man Ling didn't seem like someone who would rather disobey her orders.

"This is really unfair to Yu Lu. If the two of you are not destined to be together, there is no need to force it."

The third lady on the side began to advise.

"I originally wanted to release these girls from the palace after a while, but now something like this has happened, and Yu Lu is already old."

The old lady also frowned and had a headache.

The Third Lady smiled and suggested: "Don't worry about this matter, old lady. Since Yu Lu is so smart, I can't bear to marry her to someone else."

The old lady was stunned, "You want to..."
