Chapter 437 Steady Victory
With these words, it is obvious that he regards himself as the head of the family.

The old lady was angry and helpless, and for the first time she was helpless with her daughter-in-law.

During the stalemate, someone came to report that the princess had returned.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu tightened the handkerchief subconsciously. Seeing the old lady's eyebrows crooked, disdain flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. Rao also brought a gift, now that Ah Rao is here, it saves my daughter-in-law a trip."

Another gift?The corners of the old lady's eyes sank, and she thought to herself: Will the empress be too lenient.

Mrs. Gu glanced at the old lady triumphantly, and said, "Didn't the servants in this mansion just say that Ah Rao went to offer incense?"

The old lady didn't want to talk to her, but she still had to say: "Don't let her come to see me as an old lady?"

"Daughter-in-law doesn't mean that." Mrs. Gu pleaded guilty, "However, daughter-in-law feels that if she can't even do the job of spreading the word well, what else can she do? The palace doesn't support useless people."

Just as he was talking, he saw the door curtain lifted, and a plump figure walked in. If it wasn't Chu Liangrao, who else?
With a smile on his face, Chu Liangrao said: "Grandmother is really lively, I heard my mother's voice from a long distance away, it seems that my mother has really recovered from her illness."

Seeing that Chu Liangrao had arrived, the old lady waved her hand gently: "My good granddaughter, come and ask grandma to have a look."

Chu Liangrao stepped forward, greeted the two elders, and explained: "I was going to offer incense in the temple and pray for the safety of the county horse. I didn't want to chat with Mrs. Xiong on the way, so I wanted to come back and see Look."

Hearing this, Gu's heart skipped a beat, and seeing Chu Liangrao's calm expression, she couldn't help feeling frightened.

She should have expected that Mrs. Xiong was just a fool, but how could she refuse the benefits at hand, thinking about it, Gu quickly changed the topic and said: "Ah Rao came just in time."

Chu Liangrao raised his eyes slightly, turned to look at Gu Shi and asked, "Mother just came out of the palace, but what good things did she get?"

With a twitch between her eyebrows, Gu pretended to be calm and joked: "You child, can we do without you? It is indeed a gift from you, and the empress entrusted me to bring it to you."

"It's really troublesome for mother." Chu Liangrao smiled slightly.

Mother Du stepped forward to receive the gift box and put it in Chu Liangrao's hand.

Chu Liangrao was not in a hurry to open it, she looked at the old lady and said, "Grandmother is also polite? Why don't you let Ah Rao have a look?"

"It's good for you to see." The old lady patted the back of Chu Liangrao's hand with a smile, and asked Mother Qiu to take out the white jade Guanyin.

Chu Liangrao nodded and said, "Your Majesty really knows what mother wants."

"Isn't that right?" Gu covered her mouth and smiled, "Grandma usually devotes herself to Buddha, but now she has this Guanyin, which is exactly what she wants."

Glancing at Mrs. Gu who had a smile on her brow, the old lady ordered people to enshrine Guanyin carefully, and there was no room for sloppiness.

Qiu's mother responded, holding the box and going to arrange it first.

The old lady held Chu Liangrao's hand and asked about her body.

Knowing that Chu Liangrao ate well and slept well, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is your first child, so you can't be careless."

"Yes." Chu Liangrao obediently lowered her eyelashes, looking very docile, "Mother also told Ah Rao a few days ago, and said that Grandma Cao lost her life accidentally."

The old lady stared, and said: "Listen to your mother's nonsense, how can such words be spread indiscriminately?"

"Mother-in-law, no one in the capital doesn't know about the Cao family, why would you pick on your daughter-in-law?" Gu said.

Seeing Gu's arrogant attitude, the old lady was even more angry: "You are from the Cao family, can't you? You take care of so many other people's family affairs, and you are in good shape to meddle in other people's affairs within two days. If this What can I do when I'm sick?"

Chu Liangrao chimed in: "Mother, grandma is also doing it for your health, how can you say that."

Seeing that the two joined forces again, Mrs. Gu chuckled: "Ah Rao is right, mother-in-law is the most considerate of her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law must repay her. Now that I am in good health, I can just take care of mother-in-law."

Sure enough, it was for the housekeeper's business.

The old lady's face became gloomy again, and it was difficult for Chu Liangrao to show a smile.

I thought that Chu Liangrao would help her to speak, but she looked at Gu with concern and asked, "Can mother really do it?"

Gu Shi didn't seem to expect Chu Liangrao to ask this question, she smiled, and she replied: "The Empress has already had the imperial physician examine her pulse." Will say more.

"I see." Chu Liangrao nodded, then took the old lady's hand and said, "Grandmother, it's good to have a mother to share your worries."

These words made both of them startled, Gu's instinct was that Chu Liangrao would not be so kind, so he raised his eyes to examine Chu Liangrao.

Chu Liangrao sat upright, not caring about the prying eyes at all: "Mother is a good manager of accounts, with mother's help, grandma will definitely be able to manage the house in an orderly manner." As he spoke, he gave the old lady a smile .

The old lady understood, and replied, "It's natural."

"Ah Rao is doing the same thing in the mansion now, let the people below do the calculations, and then do the calculations in person at the end." Chu Liangrao said with a smile, "This will save a lot of trouble, and it can also avoid the need to pay the bills. Something went wrong."

The old lady's eyes lit up, and she said, "Ah Rao is smart."

Mrs. Gu heard that the two of them had made up their minds, and they were not willing to do it, so she said: "Ah Rao's suggestion is somewhat reasonable, but the accountants in this mansion are all reliable, since the account books are presented, just take a look. If it's over, wouldn't it make people feel redundant?" Sighing, she said to Chu Liangrao, "Your grandmother has the heart to worship the Buddha, so why bother to let her be entangled in these mundane things, it's better for me to bother."

Chu Liangrao showed a thoughtful look on his face, and said, "Then what does mother think?"

"Your grandmother is old, and she should take care of her for the rest of her life. I've been in charge of this family for so many years, so I'm afraid I can't manage it well?"

"My daughter-in-law's steward does have a song." The old lady sneered, "I didn't know my daughter-in-law had such ability."

"Mother was joking, this is what a daughter-in-law should do." Gu said gently.

Chu Liangrao looked at Gu Shi and said, "Mother's concerns are not unreasonable."

This day, Chu Liangrao followed her own wishes, which surprised Gu Shi very much. She always felt that she was digging her own grave, and with this thought in her mind, she became a little more cautious.

Sure enough, Chu Liangrao said again: "It's just... Mother's health is not good now."

"Ah Rao is really filial to be considerate of my body, but Ah Rao don't worry, the imperial physician has already said it's okay." Gu Shi laughed, feeling sure of winning.
