Qian Chunhua, who had been single all her life, suddenly time-traveled—bringing along a space full ...
The meal ended hastily in this atmosphere.
After the meal, the old lady took Heng'er's hand and said gently, "Heng'er, you will live in my house from now on. I specially prepared a courtyard for you. This courtyard was where your father lived before."
Her words were full of love and care for Heng.
The last time Wei Qingyun came to the Guoqi Mansion, Wei Guoqi and his wife hesitated for a moment. They were not willing to hand over the quiet courtyard where their son once lived to him.
That courtyard carries too much of their thoughts and memories about their son. Every brick and tile seems to be engraved with the warmth and expectations in their hearts.
They hope that whenever longing comes to their mind, they can still walk into that familiar world, look for traces of their son, and feel a little warmth from the past.
Therefore, they carefully selected another superior courtyard in the mansion for Qingyun. Although it did not have the nostalgic feelings of the past, it was also a good residence with beautiful scenery and pleasant views.
But now, the true balance has returned.
There was no better courtyard to choose from in the palace, so he could only live in the courtyard that once belonged to his father.
After hesitating for a moment, Heng stammered, "Master's wife... no, Grandmother, I... I want to go back to Aunt Qian's house."
When the old lady heard that he still called her "Master's Wife", she couldn't help but feel a little angry. She raised her hand and gently patted him, scolding him: "Why are you still calling me Master's Wife? From now on, you have to change your address to "Grandma"!"
After saying that, she glared at Wei Guoyi fiercely again.
When his grandmother said this, Heng blushed and smiled awkwardly. He was so nervous that he made a mistake in addressing her: "Grandma, I want to go back to Aunt Qian's house tonight."
After hearing this, Wei Guoji and his wife showed displeasure on their faces.
The state lord frowned and said seriously: "Now that you have recognized your ancestors, there is no reason for you to stay in the county government. This is your real home, and you should adapt to life here as soon as possible."
However, Heng was very persistent. He insisted on his own opinion and responded: "This matter came too suddenly. Even if I want to move in, I have to go back and tell Aunt Qian and her family and say goodbye to them."
His tone was sincere and firm, making it impossible to refute.
This was indeed reasonable, and the Wei Guo-yi couple felt it was not a good idea to stop him, so they acquiesced to his request. "Okay, we'll go there tonight and stay at the Guo-yi residence tomorrow."
Heng had no choice but to agree.
As usual, after dinner, Heng refused his grandparents' offer to arrange a carriage for him, and left the government office on foot to the county government with their company.
Watching her grandson's back as he left, the old lady felt distressed again.
Back in her bedroom, she and Grandpa Guo were the only ones left in the room. The old lady began to complain, "Mrs. Ruiyun doesn't know how to raise a child. Heng'er is being raised by her, and he is so thin and not tall."
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "Look at Qingyun, he is so tall and strong. Alas..., our Heng'er has suffered."
Wei Guoyi was clear-headed. He consoled his old wife, "You can't say that. Heng'er just came to her house, and she has tried her best to find a doctor to take care of Heng'er's health.
What's more, Heng'er suffered a great crime last year, and it was Ruiyun County who saved him. We can't be ungrateful, so don't say such things. "
When the old lady heard this, she understood and blamed herself for being too concerned.
"Okay, I just feel sorry for Heng'er, so I complained to you. Tomorrow you should ask Court Judge Zhang to come and treat Heng'er. I'm worried about Ruiyun County not finding an imperial physician."
Wei Guoyi nodded.
"Heng'er has found something, so we still need to hold a banquet. Although our family is the only one in the capital and we have no relatives, we still need to let people know."
Wei Guo continued to nod, "Don't worry, I will arrange it."
