Chapter 406 What is more important than mother’s life or death?
"What? Mom is seriously ill? Why did Mom suddenly become seriously ill?"
Zhuang Xianxian received the pigeon message from the Zhuang Mansion and immediately lost her mind. She grabbed Xue Lingxiao and said, "Brother Lingxiao, go back. We have to go back."
There was a choking sound in Zhuang Xianxian's voice, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Don't panic, I'll send someone to take you back right now." As soon as Xue Lingxiao finished speaking, Zhuang Xianxian looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Brother Lingxiao, aren't you going back with me? I'm scared."
"Xianxian, I still have something to do here." Xue Lingxiao pinched his brows. He hasn't found the salt well yet. His Highness said that as long as he finds the salt well, he will find a way to settle the matter of the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and let him return to Shengjing!
Xue Lingxiao didn't want to stay in Hongdu anymore. It wasn't as prosperous as Shengjing at all!
"What else do you have to do? Don't you want to buy land to grow crops? Now is not the time for spring planting." Although Zhuang Xianxian doesn't know how to farm, she knows that you should sow in spring and harvest in autumn.
It's almost winter now, and the land is idle, so why should we take care of it?
"Brother, let's go back quickly, Sister Xianxian..." Xue Han helped to speak, but was given a look by Xue Lingxiao. She swallowed all her words back immediately.
Xue Lingchuan rushed in anxiously, panting, "Brother, I just received news that my parents asked you to return quickly. They said that my aunt fell ill after hearing that Madam Zhuang was seriously ill."
"What?" Zhuang Xianxian didn't expect that Madam Xue also fell ill, so she said, "Let's go, let's pack up and return to the city."
As soon as Zhuang Xianxian left, Xue Lingxiao stared at Xue Lingchuan and asked, "Lingchuan, who allowed you to read my carrier pigeon letter?"
"It was sent from home." Xue Lingchuan felt very uncomfortable under Xue Lingxiao's cold gaze and said, "Brother Lingxiao, my aunt is sick. We should go home quickly."
"Yes, Brother Lingxiao, my brother is worried about you too." Xue Han also spoke up for her brother Xue Lingchuan. She said, "Aunt has always been in poor health. She must be thinking about your upcoming wedding and Madam Zhuang being seriously ill, so she might be particularly worried."
"There won't be a next time." Xue Lingxiao punched Xue Lingchuan in the abdomen and turned away.
"Xue Lingxiao!" Xue Lingchuan clutched his abdomen, furious, ready to rush over and fight Xue Lingxiao. Wasn't it just a carrier pigeon? As the grandson of the eldest branch of the Xue family, he couldn't even read the carrier pigeon sent from the Xue Mansion?
"Brother, don't be impulsive." Xue Han grabbed Xue Lingchuan and said, "Have you forgotten what Dad told us before he left? We must never offend Xue Lingxiao."
Xue Lingchuan's fists were about to burst with water. Listening to Xue Han's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that we caught the eye of the Xue family's grandmother. It's just that we are from the direct branch, and they look down on us from the side branch!"
"We have to be in Hongdu now!" Xue Lingchuan's voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth, and he stared fiercely at the place where Xue Lingxiao disappeared.
"Brother, please keep your voice down. It would be bad if you offend him." Xue Han said softly, "Being a direct descendant is nothing special. After all, we are a side branch, not a direct descendant."
"Dad told us to coax him well. Maybe we can benefit from it in the future." Xue Han said comfortingly. She was afraid that her brother would get impulsive and beat Xue Lingxiao. That would be the end of it!
By then, their dream of going to Shengjing will be shattered.
"Humph, with what he's doing, how can we really benefit from it?" Xue Lingchuan rubbed his stomach and said with a gritted teeth, "He was too harsh!"
"Brother, let's go back and pack our things quickly. It's still early, so we should rush back to Hongdu." Xue Han said, and ran back to pack her things. She was still a little surprised. Why did Madam Zhuang and her aunt get sick at the same time?
Maybe, it's just a coincidence?
Thinking this, Xue Han quickly packed up some things and went to find Zhuang Xianxian. Zhuang Xianxian's eyes were already swollen from crying. Xue Han quickly comforted her, "Sister Xianxian, don't worry. Madam is a lucky person and will definitely get through this!"
"You're right, my mother will be fine." Zhuang Xianxian sobbed, wiped her tears and said, "Xianxian, my mother went to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. The Bodhisattva will definitely bless my mother, right?"
"Yes." Xue Han nodded affirmatively and comforted Zhuang Xianxian all the way to the carriage. Only then did Zhuang Xianxian's crying slowly subside.
The carriage did not leave, and Zhuang Xianxian asked, "What's going on?"
"Miss, Master Lingxiao said that we should return to Hongdu first, and he will ride back later." The guard's words surprised Zhuang Xianxian, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. Zhuang Xianxian got off the carriage and walked towards Xue Lingxiao: "Brother Lingxiao, your mother is seriously ill, and you are not rushing back? What other important things do you have?"
Zhuang Xianxian looked at Xue Lingxiao with her red and swollen eyes. When her mother was about to leave and Xue Lingxiao refused to go, Zhuang Xianxian felt extremely uncomfortable. She was shocked and scared when she suddenly received such shocking news. Xue Lingxiao was unwilling to accompany her back, which made her even more heartbroken.
Zhuang Xianxian comforted herself, thinking that Xue Lingxiao might have something important to tell her, but now, Xue Lingxiao’s biological mother was seriously ill, and Xue Lingxiao was unwilling to go back with her?
Can I entrust my life to such a person?
“…”
Xue Lingxiao's silence made Zhuang Xianxian even angrier. She stared at Xue Lingxiao and asked, "What is more important than your mother's life or death?"
Zhuang Xianxian looked at him with burning eyes, as if she wanted to dig open his brain to see what he was thinking!
"Xianxian." Xue Lingxiao pulled her aside.
Zhuang Xianxian shook off his hand and said coldly, "Xue Lingxiao, if you can't give me a legitimate reason, I won't accept it!"
Xue Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, "This matter concerns my return to Shengjing."
"But you came back just to take care of your wife, and now you're going back to Shengjing? Could it be that you're not going back to Hong willingly?" Zhuang Xianxian frowned, and her mind was so clear for the first time!
"Of course not." Xue Lingxiao quickly denied it. He still needed the help of the banker. At this moment, Xue Lingxiao's eyes turned and said, "Actually, I returned to Hongdu for something else. This matter concerns a very important person in Shengjing."
"Xianxian, I'm worried about my mother, too." Xue Lingxiao stepped forward, looked at Zhuang Xianxian's cold face and said, "Whether it's my mother or your mother, I'm very worried."
"No matter how important a person is in Shengjing, he is not as important as my mother." Zhuang Xianxian turned around and went straight back to the carriage.
Xue Lingxiao pinched his brows and ordered his servants: "You keep looking. I'll go back to Hongdu first. If anything happens, tell me immediately!"
Xue Lingxiao squeezed into the carriage, and Zhuang Xianxian's expression turned from gloomy to bright.
