Chapter 871: There Is Only One Mother
Anyway, money is still the most enticing thing.
Since Princess Consort Jing has been away for these few years, ever since Ye Jiu returned, she became the head of the household. When she took charge, not mentioning other expenses in the back courtyard, just their monthly stipends alone increased severalfold.
Moreover, in terms of their daily eating, clothing, and use, and various novel items, Ye Jiu showed no reluctance, and would even proactively give them.
Having benefited, they naturally did not want to return to the days under Princess Consort Jing’s management.
After finally sending a few people away, Ye Jiu collapsed onto the bed with a deep sense of realization in her heart; it really is too difficult!
The next day, the Ye Family sent invitations.
With only ten days for preparation, Ye Wenyu’s wedding was very rushed, but being the first to get married among the third generation of the Ye Family, Ye Gaosheng and He Shi still wanted it to be as grand as possible.
Three days before Ye Wenyu’s marriage, Ye Jiu went to the Ye Family.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a little bundle jumped onto her legs, "Aunt has come, Aunt has come..."
Ye Jiu bent down, picked up the little bundle, and tapped his nose, "Running so fast, what if you fall later?"
"Not afraid, not afraid, Wenxian is amazing." The little bundle chattered in response.
The little bundle in Ye Jiu’s arms was Ye Gaosheng and Qingyue’s son.
As the youngest and only child of the fourth room, he was utterly spoiled.
"Yes, yes, our Wenxian is the most amazing." Ye Jiu held him for a while longer before placing him on the ground, "Wenxian, be good, Aunt is going to see Grandma, okay?"
After putting Ye Wenxian on the ground, Ye Jiu instructed the servants to watch him before leaving.
He Shi had already recovered and was busy arranging wedding matters. Ye Jiu was half a head taller than He Shi, and upon approaching her, could directly see her head.
Thus, she could clearly notice that most of He Shi’s hair had already turned white!
Suddenly, a sense of sadness washed over her. Ye Jiu grabbed He Shi and sat down, saying, "Mom, just leave these tasks to the servants, don’t tire yourself out."
He Shi truly was getting old!
Coupled with the hardships she endured in her youth, her constitution was thoroughly damaged, so no matter how good the supplements were, they just worked like a fleeting recovery, returning to square one after a few days.
As she looked at Ye Jiu, who had grown into an adult, He Shi felt utterly gratified.
"I’m not tired, if I find something to do, I can feel that I’m still alive. Otherwise, each day would just be pointless." He Shi sighed.
Ye Jiu knew that it was all because of her that they left their hometown to come here.
Despite the capital city’s prosperity, they didn’t know anyone here.
He Shi had been in the capital for a few years, but seemed somewhat lonely, as she just couldn’t mingle with the wealthy women.
Ye Gaosheng was alright; there was quite a bit of land on the estate, and when feeling bored, he’d go for a stroll, living a leisurely life.
Ye Jiu asked about Ye Wenyu and learned that the wedding preparations were largely complete, which put her mind at ease.
After another while, He Shi suddenly asked, "I heard that after your mother returned, her health wasn’t good. Is she doing better now?"
It took Ye Jiu a long time to realize whom He Shi was referring to.
Turning her head, Ye Jiu looked at He Shi, "Mom, in my heart, you will always be my one and only mother."
