The old lady was surprised. In the past, when Hua Qiyue came to see her, the girl stuttered and shivered, as if she had seen a tigress who was going to eat her.

But today, she looked elegant and beautiful. Seeing her gaunt face, the old lady thought of what had happened to her before, and how she had neglected her in the past, and felt sorry for her.

"Yue'er, sit down. I know you were wronged. Don't be scared."

The old lady Hua was a kind-hearted woman. Although her harshness and prejudice made her neglect Hua Qiyue in the past, she was really surprised by her appearance now.

"Grandmother, I'm sorry to make you worry about me. I was unfilial. On my way home, I bought fresh sea cucumbers for you. It was difficult to get fresh sea cucumbers. Only the Master Xuanji in the Rongfu Temple had managed to get some. The sea cucumbers can nourish the blood and the face. Grandma has done so much for this family. We should thank you. "

What Hua Qiyue said made Hua Mengshi and Hua Xiaoyi dumbstruck.

They had heard of that thing, but they had never thought of pleasing their grandmother with that thing.

"Ha-ha, you're so sweet. Tell the chief to make soup quickly. Let's have lunch and share the sea cucumber soup together."

The old lady was extremely happy. She did not expect Hua Qiyue to become so clever and considerate.

The Second Concubine walked over and tenderly held Hua Qiyue's hand and praised her. She said she must be very tired and she cared about her.

"Thanks for your concern. I'm fine." She took back her hand carefully, then said to the old lady with a smile, "Grandma, I asked Master Xuanji to tell my fortune. He said that my fortune was not bad, but I need to have a foster son… I used to be too naive … "

Hua Qiyue looked ashamed. She knew the original owner of this body was cowardly. Even when the servants bullied her, she did not dare to resist. And her Qi channels were broken, so she was useless.

Now, she had disrupted Monk Yihan and Lanzhu's plot, making people look at her with new eyes.

"So, I've come to ask your permission to adopt a son. With this child, I can understand more about the hardships of being a parent and the pains of my elders. "

The old lady frowned and noticed her old clothes.

Compared to Hua Mengshi and Hua Xiaoyi's clothes, hers were rather shabby.

"Since Master Xuanji gave you the advice, you should do as he said. But, Yue'er, you should dress better when you go out in the future..." The old lady concerned about her face-saving. If the Miss of the Hua's Family wore the same clothes as an ordinary woman, didn't it mean that they were abusing her?

Hearing that, Hua Qiyue looked embarrassed.

The Second Concubine's expression immediately changed, and she said, "That's right. Yue'er, I can give you some good cloth if you don't have any, or I can have the tailor make some new clothes for you. Don't disgrace our family."

Youshui sneered, "Our miss only gets two taels of silver a month. It's a problem for us to have enough food. How can we make new clothes?"

In the Hua's Family, the daughter of the official wife could get two taels of silver every month, while the daughters of the concubines only one tael. But in fact, the Second Concubine had stealing Hua Qiyue's money because she used to be a cowardly girl and the old lady did not attach importance to her. Even being bullied, she dared not complain.

Youshui and Lvxin tried to tell the old lady the truth, but Hua Qiyue stopped them. She was afraid that they would make the Second Concubine angry and bring them a disaster.

The Second Concubine did not expect that Youshui would say it out loud. Her face turned pale white.

Hua Mengshi also knew the truth. She was so worried about her mother that her nails were pinched nervously in the palm of her hand. It caused her a pain.

"What? Only two taels? " the old lady's expression changed. It could make other people laugh their heads off. Although Hua Qiyue's mother, the official wife of Hua Liting, passed away a long time ago and Hua Qiyue was a useless girl, they should not have been so mean to her.
