Climbing pole

  "Grandma, calm down, you're a precious treasure, how can you be so angry?" Ouyang Jinqiu said while using her hand to help the old lady catch her breath at her chest, repeating this several times until the old lady's breathing stabilized before stopping and sitting quietly beside her.

  The old lady saw that Ouyang Jinqiu was so sensible, and the anger she had just felt had dissipated by half. She looked at her with concern and said, "They are all arrogant and domineering, I'm afraid your days will be difficult in the future."

  As soon as Ou Yang Jin Xi heard Old Madam's words, her first reaction was "Climb the pole! Must climb the pole!"

  "Thank you for your concern, Grandma. I'll try to avoid them from now on, but they're still angry at me and I'm afraid they might come after me."

  Looking at Ouyang Jinqiu's pitiful appearance, the old lady suddenly felt a sense of sympathy and stroked Ouyang Jinqiu's face with her hand.

  She had never taken a good look at Ouyang Jinqiu before, but now that she was close to her, she found that she had such a beautiful face, which was very pleasing to the eye. She then said with concern: "I think they won't give up easily and will definitely come to bother you again. Why don't you move in here for a while? I'm sure they won't have the guts to come looking for trouble at my place."

  "Thank you for your concern, old lady. Moving in with you is indeed safe, but my granddaughter can only hide for a while and cannot hide forever. It's not a long-term solution."

  "What's to be done?" The old lady felt that Ouyang Jinqiu also had a point and asked softly.

  "The granddaughter wanted to go out and have some fun outside the mansion, it's also a good opportunity to get some fresh air and avoid the attention of the two young ladies."

  "Hmm! That's good, but the outside world is also full of dangers, can you handle it on your own?" The old lady said with concern, and in her deep gaze, Ouyang Jinci felt a kind of love and care that she had never experienced before.

  "Thank you, Mrs. Lao for your concern. It's just right to go out and see the world. I heard that there is a temple at the border of our land and the Monster Beast Forest that is very efficacious. Shun Nu can go and ask for a peace talisman for Grandma." Ouyang Jinqiu spoke with an expression so serious that even she herself thought it was true.

  After listening to her words, the old lady was deeply moved by her sincerity and filial piety, saying: "Alright, I agree that you can go out for training. I'll instruct the servants to make a set of clothes for you right away, consider it a gift from grandma."

  The old lady sighed and said: "San Ya come sit next to Grandma, I want to talk to you for a bit."

  Ouyang Jinqi walked over and leaned against Old Lady's side.

  "The Crown Prince's coming to regret the marriage, I already know about it. How do you think?" The old lady said with a loving expression: "I know you've always liked this match, if you want to marry him, grandma can help you, this marriage isn't something he can just regret and cancel!"

  "Thank you for your concern, Grandma," Yun Qian said gratefully. "However, it was I who called off the wedding, not him having second thoughts. Now we have nothing to do with each other."

  The old lady looked at Ouyang Jinqiu again and said, "Is this what you think in your heart? You should know that regretting a marriage is not something that sounds good when spoken out loud, it may have an impact on your future marriages."

  "Thank you, Grandma, for loving and caring for me. I've thought it through, and even if something is good, if I don't want it, it's still trash."

  The old lady nodded comfortingly and said, "Alright, you've grown up too, have your own ideas, so be it. If anything doesn't go smoothly, come find Grandma anytime."
