Chapter 64: Straight Away
Old Madam Tang had been walking in the mist. She was clearly holding her daughter in her left hand and her son in her right hand, but in the blink of an eye, the children were no longer at hand.
She searched and searched, and finally saw her son riding a horse and galloping towards her. She was so anxious that she kept shouting, "Be careful, slow down."
But her son still fell off the horse, and his flesh and blood were all over the place. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake her son up. Soon, both the horse and her son disappeared.
Suddenly, someone in the distance sobbed softly, "It hurts, it's so cold!"
When the old lady heard it, she thought it was her daughter's voice. She followed the voice and walked over and asked, "Xiu'er, is that you?"
The woman looked up and smiled at her. Wasn't it her Xiu'er!
The old lady was in tears. It had been so long that she could only remember her daughter's bright appearance when she was a girl: "Xiu'er, I miss you so much. Are you here to pick me up?"
Xiu'er led her mother into the deeper mist.
Suddenly, someone called her: "Stop. Your daughter is gone, but your son and grandson are still here. Even your grandson-in-law is safe and sound. Taizu, you have great-grandsons now. Don't you want to go back and see them?"
The old lady turned around and saw a little man holding a milk bottle and looking at her with a smile. Her son also came from the opposite side and smiled at her.
"Xiu is gone, but Xiu'er's child is still fine. He is waiting to call you grandma." The child didn't open his mouth, but Old Lady Tang could hear her voice.
"Xiu'er's child is still here?" The old lady said tremblingly.
The child turned to Tang Yanjun again: "Take the grandmother back quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
The old lady looked at her daughter: "Xiu'er, go back with your mother!"
Xiu'er looked at the child, nodded at her, waved to her mother and brother, and disappeared into the mist.
"Xiu'er!" The old lady shouted, suddenly awakened, and Su Xiaoxiao was also awakened by her.
"Mother!" When the old lady woke up, she saw Qi and the crown prince Gu Huaian looking at her nervously, with Gu Huaian and two unfamiliar faces beside her, and she was holding the hand of a baby.
Old Madam Tang looked at Su Xiaoxiao and touched her head lovingly: "Child, you saved me. Where is Yanjun? Is Yanjun awake?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a servant came to report: "The old man woke up, and the first thing he asked was about the old lady!"
There was nothing that Old Madam Tang didn't understand. It was this little lucky boy who pulled her and her son back from the gates of hell.
Old Madam Tang already knew about the pills and insisted on paying homage to Zhao Wanyue's family. Zhao Wanyue tried to persuade her, but Su Xiaoxiao covered her forehead:
[Grandmaster, you can't do that. She is your grandson's wife. If you pay homage to her, you will shorten her life. 】
Gu Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat. Grandson's wife, isn't Su Bowen...
He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly pulled the old master and said, "Master, how can you thank her like this? Madam Zhao is almost scared to death by you. Even father doesn't let you kneel."
Zhao Wanyue wiped the sweat from her forehead. It's a pity for the prince.
【Brother Prince, you came just in time. Taizu has great blessings and countless merits. If he kneels, mother will suffer. 】
Wait a minute, the Zhao family can hear Xiaoxiao's voice, what about Tang? She carefully observed the old tutor and saw that she looked serious: "They saved the entire Tang family, so they should kneel down. Why are you and Huaizhi here?"
According to the old tutor's reaction, they couldn't hear her, and it seemed that they were a little distant by blood.
"Father and mother are worried about you, so they asked us to come and see. If it weren't for their status, they would come in person." Gu Huaiyu said, his eyes fixed on Su Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao had grown a lot taller after not seeing her for a few days.
"Come, Prince brother, give me a hug!" Gu Huaiyu said with a flattering look on his face.
Su Xiaoxiao hugged her arms, puffed her cheeks, and twisted her face: "Hmph!"
[It's been a long time since you brought me delicious food, not even any toys. You are so ungrateful. You want to hug me? What a joke!]
Zhao Wanyue's heart was pounding. My son, I am the prince. Fortunately, the prince can't hear me, otherwise the nine clans would not be enough to destroy me.
The prince knew that Su Xiaoxiao was angry, so he said flatteringly: "Xiaoxiao is angry. Although the prince brother didn't come to see you, the kitchen was not idle. They were all working hard to develop new dishes for you. Will you take you to the palace later?"
Gu Huaian also flattered: "Sister, on my birthday, I asked my mother for a bunch of night pearls, which I also kept for you. You can come to the palace with us later!"
Zhao Wanyue declined: "Thank you for the kindness of the prince and the ninth prince, but her father's matter has not been concluded yet. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Xiaoxiao to go to the palace."
[If mother doesn't allow me to go, then I won't go. Who cares? You haven't come to see me for so long. You must be angry.] Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks were puffed up with soreness.
Gu Huaiyu couldn't get Su Xiaoxiao to go back. If he couldn't coax her today, he would have a better life in the future: "Father also misses Xiaoxiao. She can't eat or sleep recently. I'll take her from Tang Mansion. No one will notice her."
The old master smiled and said, "You are trying to snatch someone in my mansion. You go to the queue behind. Madam Zhao and others have been busy all day. They must have a meal in the mansion. Xiyu, you should treat Madam Zhao well." Although he was happy, he was a little depressed.
Zhao Wanyue hurriedly stuffed Su Xiaoxiao into the arms of Tang Master: "Don't you thank the old master?" Xiaoxiao said that she had to give the old master some spiritual energy.
[My mother knows me best. I was thinking of giving the old master some spiritual energy to protect her body. Su Xiaoxiao
danced in the old tutor's arms, and patted him on the shoulder when he wasn't paying attention. Old tutor Tang felt refreshed and in high spirits.
Gu Huaiyu saw that Xiaoxiao had finished, and took Su Xiaoxiao without saying anything: "Let Madam Zhao eat the meal, Xiaoxiao took it away!"
Gu Huaian also ran away with his short legs, fearing that his sister would be taken away.
Qi smiled helplessly: "I thought the prince was a calm person, but I didn't expect him to be so
lively." The old master laughed: "The prince is too calm, and it's a good thing to have someone like that to make him more lively."
Zhao Wanyue smiled awkwardly and said: "So many things happened in your mansion today, and Madam Qi is tired, so Lingxi and I won't disturb you."
Seeing that Zhao Wanyue was determined to leave, the old master Tang didn't force her to stay. Today was indeed not a good time to entertain guests.
So he said: "Then I won't force Madam Zhao. When Zhu Jing recovers, I will definitely bring my daughter-in-law to thank you in person."
Zhao Wanyue was naturally polite again, and Qi personally took Zhao Wanyue's hand and sent her out of the mansion.
"My dear sister, today, thanks to your generosity in giving me medicine, and Xiaoxiao's help, the Tang family is safe. I am so grateful. If you have any problems in the future, the Tang and Qi families will definitely help you. I am sorry for neglecting you today. I will come to your house to thank you in person someday."
Zhao Wanyue dared not take credit for it. It was all Xiaoxiao's work. She only said, "The medicine was obtained by chance. I think it was for this day. In the final analysis, it was the merits of Old Master Tang and Old Madam over the years, and I am the one who got the benefit."
