Chapter 327 Waiting for an Opportunity
According to Liu Yanchuo, Old Master Liu had already issued an order prohibiting anyone from approaching the woods, but what was there to be shy about in a small land temple?
Hu Xiner had a vague feeling that the basement might be there!
Seeing her smile, Liu Yanchuo thought she was mocking him and said unhappily, "Are you so happy to hear that I was punished?"
Hu Xin'er said with a smile, "Don't be angry, cousin. I usually don't laugh unless I really can't help it."
Liu Yanchuo pretended to be so angry that he screamed, "Someone come quickly, throw this young lady out of Qingfeng Garden!"
After hearing the important news, Hu Xiner did not act immediately, but pretended nothing had happened and chatted with Liu Yanchuo for a long time before going back.
In the following days, she waited for her opportunity.
One day she went to pay her respects to the second old lady, but saw that the second old lady was holding a string of Buddhist beads and looked unhappy.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Hu Xiner said with a smile.
The second old lady nodded towards the eldest wife and said, "My dear granddaughter, didn't you hear? The eldest wife is going out with your grandfather, and they're almost beating the gongs and drums!"
Going out? Hu Xiner was delighted: "What are they going to do?"
"Nothing to do, just go for a stroll." The second old lady complained, "I don't know what the master is thinking. The eldest wife has done so many wrong things, but he still let them persuade him to go."
The old lady next to her also sighed and said, "Young lady, you don't know that the second old lady didn't sleep well last night because of this matter."
Hu Xiner took a closer look and found that the second old lady did not look very well. She sat down next to her and said, "Grandma, please don't be angry. Your health is more important. At worst, you can go out and play."
As soon as she entered the room, she found that the second old lady was also packing something, as if she was about to go out.
The second old lady hugged her in her arms: "My granddaughter is so thoughtful. It's okay for their eldest wife to leave, but they even took my son away! He finally got his day off."
After talking for a long time, it turned out that it was because Lord Liu also went shopping with the eldest wife, and the second old lady felt very unbalanced.
Hu Xin'er coaxed the Second Old Lady: "The eldest wife wants to take my uncle out, isn't it just to save face? After all, my uncle is the only adult male in our house."
The second old lady was like a child, her emotions coming and going quickly. After being persuaded by her granddaughter, her brows relaxed: "You're right. No matter how arrogant and domineering the eldest wife is, she still relies on my son to keep up appearances."
At this time, another person walked in from the door, it was Chen.
She first paid her respects to the Second Old Lady, then greeted Hu Xin'er before saying, "Mother, it's time for the follow-up visit today. I'm afraid I have to take Yan Chuo to the clinic."
When the second old lady heard that this concerned her precious grandson's injury, she nodded repeatedly, "Of course! If I hadn't been going to burn incense today, I would have gone with you... Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chen has been unable to sleep at night these days because of her son's injuries.
Hu Xiner often heard the servants in the mansion say that Lord Liu in Weiyan Hall slept in the study every day, while Chen Shi could not sleep for long and would light a lamp to copy Buddhist scriptures.
After hearing what the second old lady said, Chen forced herself to cheer up and said, "My mood has been getting worse these days, so I forgot to tell mother."
"Aunt, don't be too tired. I see that the dark circles under your eyes have gotten worse." Hu Xiner said with concern.
Chen smiled tiredly and shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm in good health, but you should drink more tonics."
"My cousin sends me nourishing soup every day. I feel like I've gained more than ten pounds from drinking it." Hu Xiner said coquettishly.
The second old lady and Mrs. Chen both smiled kindly.
The Second Old Lady was about to scold Chen, but after Hu Xin'er interrupted her, she put her temper aside and advised Chen, "I think Xin'er is right. How can I be at ease with you taking Yan Chuo out when he's in such a bad mood? Bring ten more guards with you."
Chen felt that ten guards were a bit too many and felt helpless.
The second old lady is like that, she likes the most and the biggest of everything.
But she was also thinking about Liu Yanchuo after all, and Chen accepted her kindness: "Okay, I'll go call someone later."
"Wouldn't Xin'er be the only one left at home?" The second old lady thought of another question and suddenly felt distressed. "Why don't you come with me to burn incense, so you don't get bored at home."
Hu Xin'er immediately shook her head: "It's okay, Grandma, you can go out."
Are you kidding me? There's no one at home who suits her taste, okay?
But the second old lady thought she was sensible and refused, so she patted her head and said, "Silly child, why would your grandmother let you stay at home alone? It's settled."
Hu Xiner's brain was working rapidly, and suddenly she cried out "Ouch" and covered her stomach.
"What's going on?" The second old lady was shocked.
"I have a stomachache." Hu Xiner said with a frown.
The second old lady believed it and said anxiously, "Go call the doctor! Why does she have a stomachache for no reason? Is there something wrong with the baby?"
In fact, Hu Xiner has been in very good health recently. If the doctor were to take her pulse, he would probably just say that the young lady has been over-supplemented.
That would be embarrassing.
Hu Xin'er didn't dare to ask the doctor to come. She quickly grabbed the second old lady's sleeve and said, "Don't bother. Maybe I had a stomachache yesterday."
The second old lady was skeptical: "Really? It would be safer to call a doctor."
Hu Xiner had a hard time fooling her.
Soon, everyone left and Hu Xiner was the only one left at home.
In Lanxin Garden, Hu Xiner took out the key hidden under the jewelry box. She put the key in her arms and prepared to take action.
Before taking action, she deliberately knocked Yun Qiu unconscious to prevent her from leaking information.
After all, if Yun Qiu was awake, he would definitely not let his young lady do such a dangerous thing!
"It's such a nice day today, no wonder everyone's out." She moved Yunqiu to the bed, then walked out the door and said to the servants, "Is there a kite in the mansion? I want to play with it."
While flying the kite, she quietly broke the kite string, and the kite fell outside the courtyard wall and was about to drift towards the woods!
That was a forbidden area, so the servants naturally didn't dare to pick it up. Hu Xin'er also showed a distressed expression, muttering: "Forget it, let's not take this kite..."
But in fact, after sending everyone away, she quietly moved a ladder and climbed over the wall.
But there was no place to stand on the other side of the wall. Hu Xiner felt a little awkward as she sat on the wall: "Oops, miscalculated."
