Minhu said, "This is difficult. Jiaer just couldn't figure it out and had a mental illness."
Chai Jun also knew that Min Jia had been devastated by her mother's death, becoming so deaf that she couldn't even speak. He wondered which miracle doctor Min Hu had hired to cure her. He didn't dare to force her anymore and said anxiously, "What should I do? My grandmother and mother are anxious to see Xiao'er, and my vacation is almost over." Blushing, he pleaded, "Could you please ask Miss Xu to come with me and wait until Xiao'er gets familiar with my family, and then come back?"
Chai Jun was the grandson of the eldest princess, and Xu Qingyan was a guard at the Prince of Wu's palace. Logically, Xu Lanyin and his daughter wouldn't dare disobey his direct orders. He discussed this matter out of gratitude for Xu Lanyin's rescue and also because he was a good person. There are so many children of prominent families who, if you help them, will think you're lucky enough to have climbed the social ladder.
Xu Lanyin's impression of Chai Jun improved a bit. She knew that living with Xiao Xingxing at the Princess's Residence was the best transitional solution, and she really wanted to visit the Nanyang Princess's Residence. But she knew Qin Shi would definitely not let her go, and she didn't want to return to the capital just after leaving.
Xu Qingyan lowered his eyelids. He didn't want Xu Lanyin to live in the Nanyang Princess's residence yet. He wanted to refuse but didn't dare. He thought of delaying it for a while, at least until he went to the capital and got to know the situation of the Nanyang Princess's residence and Chai Zhengguan first.
Xu Lanyin couldn't refuse directly, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "For Xiao Xingxing's sake, I'm willing to go back with him. Can we wait a few more days? My mother is not in good health, and my father and Lan Zhou are going to the capital again in a few days. I'm worried about my mother."
Chai Jun was a little embarrassed, thinking that it could be delayed for a few more days.
Xu Lanyin smiled again and said, "There's another way. I'll hypnotize Xiao Xingxing and see if he can remember the people and events from the past. If he remembers that Lord Chai is his father, he won't be so repulsive to you."
"Hypnosis?" Chai Jun said he didn't understand.
Min Hu and Zhao Wu talked about the benefits and effects of hypnosis.
Chai Jun's eyes widened into two tubes, and Xu Qingyan's mouth opened into a tube.
The two of them said in unison, "Is there such a method?"
Minhu smiled and said, "Miss Xu hypnotized Xiao Xingxing to get him to reveal his real name and how he was kidnapped."
Xu Lanyin added, "Master Chai, please keep this matter a secret for my daughter."
Chai Jun smiled and said, "Of course. Now, please let Miss Xu hypnotize Xiao'er."
Xu Lanyin shook her head and said, "The child is currently in a state of excitement and is not easily hypnotized. Playing with him for half a day tomorrow, and then calming down in the afternoon will have a better effect." She also emphasized, "Hypnosis may not work for everyone. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is too young, and it's hard to say whether he will remember it."
Xu Lanyin asked Chai Jun some interesting stories about Little Star in the Princess's Mansion. She asked in great detail about everyone present, their conversations, their clothes, and even the surrounding scenery.
Chai Jun didn't remember everything, so he said he would ask a girl named Cui Liu who worked for Chai Zixiao before to come tomorrow and give more details.
After the discussion, Min and Chai said goodbye and returned to Min Prefecture. They agreed that the Min people would host a banquet at the restaurant at noon tomorrow to welcome Xu Qingyan, inviting Chai Jun, the prefect Qin and his son, the Min Tongpan and his son, Zhao Wuji and several familiar officials to join them.
Xu Qingyan knew that Min Hu was introducing him to the local officials. Especially since he had invited Qin Che, he was even happier.
As soon as those people left, Xu Lanyin went to the bedroom to see Qin.
There was no light in the bedroom. Qin sat in front of the window, looking at the people outside through the crack.
Xu Qingyan and his son were talking with Min Hu and Chai Jun at the gate with hanging flowers. The stars were shining brightly tonight, and the lights were on in the corridor, illuminating the small courtyard. Qin Shi could see Chai Jun clearly.
He was tall and thin, with a refined temperament and bright clothes. He looked very much like his father Chai Rong eighteen years ago, and also somewhat like his own ruthless father.
At the time, the child might have known that his second cousin had helped him, and was very kind to Qin, which was a rare warmth that Qin had when she was in the Chai Mansion.
Qin shed silent tears. Her relatives were here, but she couldn't come forward to recognize them...
Xu Lanyin hugged Qin and tried to persuade her.
Seeing that the man surnamed Chai had finally left and that he had finally gotten to stay at his aunt's house, Chai Zixiao ran to the yard, shouting and jumping with joy. He had just hidden under the bed, fearing that the man would forcibly take him away.
Xu Lanting had long wanted to see his mother, and hurried to Qin's bedroom.
Seeing the children following behind, Xu Lanyin hurried out to meet them, stopped them and said, "It's getting late, it's time to wash up and rest."
After the children fell asleep, Xu Lanyin went to the upper room again.
Qin's eyes were red and swollen. She was holding Xu Lanting in her arms. Xu Qingyan and Xu Lanzhou were sitting beside the bed.
Chai Jun's arrival not only brought back her sad memories, but also made her even more uneasy.
Xu Lanzhou also knew Qin's true identity. After sending Xu Lanting away, several people tried to persuade Qin. They also agreed that Qin would have to pretend to be sick for a long time, not only could she not go out on the street, but she would not even see guests.
It just so happened that her relatives from her own family and her maternal relatives had already had intersections with her. Who knows what kind of people and things she will meet in the future.
Xu Qingyan looked at his wife, her face filled with sorrow and grief. For so many years in the countryside, she had practically been alone, raising his children and caring for his parents. Even after he had made a name for himself and moved to the prosperous provincial capital, she still lived in secrecy, afraid to even see anyone. His original intention had been to give his wife, children, and parents a good life...
He said, "Sister Yan, just wait, I will find a way to make you live an upright life."
Qin remained silent.
Her daughter had told her the same thing, but she didn't quite believe it. Being upright seemed too far away for her, so far away that it seemed impossible for her to achieve it in this lifetime.
Suddenly, Chai Zixiao's loud crying was heard outside the window.
Chai Zixiao woke up from his dream and didn't see his aunt. He thought his aunt didn't want him anymore, so he slid out of bed and walked out crying.
Minjia's wet nurse was on duty in the north room. She quickly came out and hugged him to comfort him.
Xu Lanyin hurried to the west wing, took Chai Zixiao and coaxed him, "Little Xingxing, your aunt is with you."
Chai Zixiao hugged Xu Lanyin's neck and cried, "Aunt, I'm scared. Uncle Zhao and Uncle Min don't want me anymore. They want me to go with Paihuazi...Aunt, please don't abandon Xiao Xingxing. Xiao Xingxing, eat less and work more. Wuuuu..."
Chai Zixiao's words made Xu Lanyin feel heartbroken. She coaxed him again, "Be good, auntie won't leave Xiao Xingxing. Auntie will go to bed now, and we will sleep together..."
Chai Zixiao hugged Xu Lanyin's neck and said many sweet words such as "I can't bear to leave my aunt" and "Aunt is the best" before he gradually fell asleep.
Xu Lanyin hugged the soft little body, she was reluctant to let go. However, no matter how reluctant she was, she could not help but return it to his biological parents.
