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

Chapter 40 Comfort
Yue Shu saw that the old lady looked very heavy, so she stepped forward and comforted her:

"Old lady, it's late, you should rest."

"Even if you have something to discuss with Lord Long, you should get some sleep so that you can think about other things."

The old lady sighed, frowned and asked:
"Were you outside just now?"

"I just went to the kitchen to eat dinner."

"I didn't see you at the door. Are you waiting outside the palace?"

Yue Shu smiled and said embarrassedly:

"It's a bit cold today. I'll wait in the corridor to warm up a bit."

The old lady turned her head and looked at Yue Shu's little face which was red from the cold. She pulled Yue Shu's hand and felt the coldness. She said distressedly:

"Yueyue, you are a good child. I am sorry for making you suffer today."

"There's nothing more to say between Long Jun and me, let him do whatever he wants!"

Yue Shu smiled and said:

"If Long Jun heard this, he would definitely feel uneasy."

The old lady snorted coldly.
"He won't do that. He can even decide on the eldest prince's marriage!"

"Old Madam, I have heard that Lord Long is a very steady person and definitely not someone who acts on impulse."

"It's not my place to say these words, but the Dragon King is not a casual dragon. If he makes up his mind, it must be after careful consideration."

Yue Shu saw that the old lady was still angry, and continued:

"In Long Jun's heart, you are the most important."

"Look, if I didn't care about you, why would I rush over to explain to you?"

"It can be seen that Lord Long is not acting on his own and disregarding your feelings."

"Long Jun is a filial son, he must have his own difficulties, and he also wants to seek your support, old lady, and I hope you can be at ease."

When the old lady heard this, her discomfort was relieved a lot, and she nodded and said:

"Yes, your Lord Long is a filial man."

Yue Shu nodded and said:
"Except for this incident, have you ever been happy and peaceful?"

"That's because the children are filial!"

"You see, Lord Dragon, Queen, and other masters all care about you very much, but I was just a few days ago..."

"Hehe, old lady, I'm not afraid to tell you that the Third Lady rewarded me with two pieces of fairy satin a few days ago. It was all because I could please you!"

"The masters care about you, and we, the servants, can also benefit from it, so I am deeply moved!"

The old lady also laughed heartily after hearing this.

"You little girl, you are usually quiet, but I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued and full of tricks when you speak!"

She turned her head and sighed again, saying:

"I know all that, but this marriage is really uneasy!"

"Your eldest prince is such a handsome man, he is one of the best in the Qingyun Realm..."

"But I'm worried!"

"Old Madam, you love your grandson, but the eldest prince is also the Dragon Lord's child. The Dragon Lord naturally loves his own son and will definitely not harm the prince."

"So just live your life peacefully. No matter what happens, the Dragon Lord will support you in everything!"

"If you are upset and uneasy about something that has not even happened yet, then I'm going to say boldly that this is the fault of the Dragon Lord!"

Yue Shu saw that the old lady's condition was gradually getting better, so she covered her with a quilt, and then she slowly fell asleep.

Yue Shu was most grateful to the old lady. Since she came to the Crystal Palace, the old lady never treated her harshly. Instead, she rewarded her again and again and was always kind to her. If she were a slave in another place, she would not even dare to imagine the hard life.

Therefore, in return, she also hoped that the old lady could live a long, happy and healthy life.

But if it wasn't because she couldn't bear to see the old lady suffer so much, it would have been inappropriate for a little palace maid to say these words.

As I was thinking, I slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Yue Shu had to stay overnight so she didn't have to serve the old lady. After saying goodbye to Cong Shuang, she went back to sleep.

She slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. When she woke up, she found that the palace maid who shared the house with her had already prepared meals for her, which made her feel very warm.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, she saw Tinghe running over to find her.

"I'm telling you, Brother Sheng finally doesn't have to live with us anymore!"

Yue Shu understood clearly,

"Did Brother Sheng find a job?"

Ting He looked surprised and envious, and said:

"How come you can even guess this? What's wrong with your little head?"

She was a little embarrassed.
"I don't have a problem with Brother Sheng, but I always feel that it's not good for him to live with us for a long time."

Yue Shu also smiled faintly and said:

“It’s okay to help someone when they’re in trouble!”

Ting He frowned.
"How come you said exactly the same thing as my dad!"

"I know I am stingy, but I can't get over it in my heart..."

Ting He didn't have many objections to Sheng Yanqing living in that small house. She herself was not a stingy person.

However, Tingyu always took her things and refused to give them to her, which made Tinghe have some stress reaction regarding her own affairs.

She said again embarrassedly:
"Brother Sheng is a good man, but I have always thought bad of him."

As she spoke, she looked around to see if there was anyone around, took out five spirit stones from her purse, and said:
"My father said that this is the spiritual stone that Brother Sheng left for us. We should each have half!"

Yue Shu raised her eyebrows.
“That’s too much!”

It's just a small house and I only lived there for a few days. How could I need so many spirit stones?
"That's true, but take it first. He has now surrendered to General Xu!"

"General Xu sent him to the Fourth Prince as an attendant!"

Ting He never thought that Sheng Yanqing had such great ability that he could directly rise to the position of the Fourth Prince!

If the emperor of the Guyue Dynasty ascends the throne in Heaven, doesn't that mean Sheng Yanqing is following the Son of the Emperor of Heaven?
Yue Shu nodded, feeling relieved, and said:

"That's great, but can his stepmother let him go with peace of mind?"

Ting He opened her eyes wide and smiled as she shared with Yue Shu:

"Hehe, his stepmother is unlucky."

"Although she talks about Uncle Sheng's faults every day, everyone knows what she has done. She dared to let her stepson go out right after Uncle Sheng was buried. That's why the neighbors don't believe what she says!"

"And more! My mother said that General Xu ordered his men to beat that vicious woman in the street!"

"Beat that woman until she cries loudly and runs away in fear. This is a warning to her not to ruin Brother Sheng's reputation again!"

"It's a pity that I didn't see such a heart-warming scene!"

Yue Shu was also happy for the young man after hearing this. He had a future and had solved the problem of his vicious stepmother. His life would be better and better in the future.

The two of them were talking and laughing. Since there was nothing else to do, they simply went to the kitchen to get some fairy cakes and walked towards the rockery in the small garden.
