The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2636: Meng Shuang Arrives (Part 4)

Yang Ruxin naturally didn’t know that her ideas, though groundbreaking, resonated with the Duchess. She was also unaware that her sisters had captured the Duchess’s attention, and she immersed herself once more in painting. Of course, even if she knew, it would be fine; if her sister could be drawn away, that would be a skill.

Yan Yuyu felt as if a door had opened in her heart. She planned to talk to the Princely Heir about two things that evening: she didn’t like him keeping a concubine, and she wanted Xiaofei to befriend Xiaofeng, ideally to attend the academy together.

The nanny Liu hurried over and whispered something into Yan Yuyu’s ear.

Yan Yuyu’s brows furrowed slightly, then she called over the Duchess Wei’s wife, Lin Manyi: "Manyi, please look after things here; I need to step out."

The four Dukes’ families are deeply intertwined and have close ties, but there’s distance among them. Duke Rong and Duke Wei are close, and Yan Yuyu and Lin Manyi had a good friendship before marriage; back then, they spoke of becoming in-laws, but both ended up having sons, and thoughts of a second child haven’t surfaced yet.

"Yuyu, is something the matter?" Lin Manyi frowned.

"It’s the Xu Family, isn’t it?" Yan Yuyu sighed. "Now that Meng Shuang is here, I must go greet her."

"Alright, you go ahead, I’ll handle things here." Lin Manyi nodded immediately.

Meng Shuang was already ushered into the inner hall, greeted Duchess Rong Gao Jiaoshi, and then followed her to greet the old Madam Duke Gao Zhangshi.

Gao Jiaoshi was capable as well, but since her son married, she handed household affairs to her daughter-in-law, Yan Yuyu. Since the Duke’s residence would eventually be handed over to her son and daughter-in-law, why should she hold onto it? However, she would assist from the background, attending to her in-laws, entertaining her grandchildren, and living comfortably.

"How does Madam seem to look even younger?" Meng Shuang’s words were not mere flattery, as the old Madam Gao was indeed vibrant, her once silver hair now significantly darker.

"Really?" The old Madam Gao smiled upon hearing this and raised her hand to touch her hair.

"Mother, I told you but you didn’t believe me." The Duchess laughed. "Now that others have said it, you should believe it, right?"

"It’s all because of that girl, Xinxin." The old Madam Gao couldn’t keep the smile off her face. "That medicinal wine she made, a small tumbler each day, helps me and the old man sleep soundly. The old man can still wander about by himself; he even went to the barracks early today." Suddenly she remembered something, "Right, isn’t Yuyu hosting a banquet today? Did she invite Xinxin? We must have her over to see her later; I’ve prepared some nice things for her family’s beans."

The old Duke Rong Gao Yucheng had a military career, which left him with severe ailments in his legs, rendering him bedridden years ago. It was by seeking out Yang Ruxin that he received acupuncture and medication, and in just three months, the pain vanished, and he could walk again. Though not nimble, his stride became normal.

Afterwards, with the introduction of the medicinal wine, the old couple became devoted enthusiasts.

Now, drinking the medicinal wine daily, their health is even better than in past years.
