Zheng Xiujun was speechless for a while, and her face turned even redder. Now she knew that Xiao Xing, this little scoundrel, was full of evil intentions.
"Mom, did you make this? Why did you make it like this?"
Xiao Xizi looked confused.
Without waiting for Zheng Xiujun to speak, Xing Bang said directly: "I helped make this, big brother. It's so festive. It's called a longevity bun. Eating it can make you live longer..."
"Really? It looks interesting!"
Xiao Xizi also followed Xing Bang and took one.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Zheng Xiujun quickly picked up a piece of food for Xiao Xizi, but this time there was no portion for Xing Bang.
Xing Bang chuckled and didn't care. He picked up some food and started eating. After all, he wasn't a stranger, so there was no need to be polite.
"Mother, I will be returning to the capital with my elder brother tomorrow. Please come with us. It is not safe for you to stay here alone. Besides, my elder brother just said that I will be transferred to the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Besides, my elder brother has a mansion now and is not often in the mansion. Why don't you live there and help my elder brother manage it? It is not far from the palace, and I can also find time to visit you."
"Yes, ma'am, you are alone here without anyone to rely on. Besides, once we leave, it is inevitable that the Huang family will cause trouble for you."
Xing Bang also echoed this.
Zheng Xiujun glanced at Xing Bang and instantly realized that he had not yet told Xiao Xizi about that matter.
She fell into a brief silence. Under normal circumstances, she should not refuse this kindness.
"Mother, my elder brother has been very kind to us. I understand what he means. He just wants you to enjoy a peaceful life in the capital... I think you should agree."
Xiao Xizi didn't understand at all.
"Xi'er, I understand what you mean, but if I live in your eldest brother's house for a long time, people will gossip about me. Do you understand?"
Zheng Xiujun really wanted to tell the truth, thinking that she couldn't hide it for a few days, but she didn't say it when the words came to her lips.
"There will naturally be other people in a mansion as big as my brother's. Mom, you think too much. Others will not gossip."
"this…"
Zheng Xiujun looked conflicted and embarrassed, and for a moment she didn't know how to start.
"Xiao Xizi, don't make it difficult for your mother. Let me tell you, His Majesty knew that I saved your mother, and he immediately said that he would give your mother to me as a reward."
Xing Bang didn't take it seriously at all. Since Zheng Xiujun couldn't bring herself to speak up, she had to speak up herself.
“Ah? Is that so?”
"It's no problem, mother. Aren't you happy to serve big brother?"
Xiao Xizi was just surprised for a moment. He thought about how his mother had been following him around happily, doing laundry and cooking during the smallpox inspection. He had originally thought that it would be impossible for them to do so in the palace. Now, wasn't this problem solved?
What's more, Xing Bang holds a very high position in his heart.
"Silly child, His Majesty's intention is to let me marry... It's not as simple as you think!"
Zheng Xiujun naturally understood the simple-minded Xiao Xizi's thoughts. If that was the case, she would be willing to do it for the kindness toward her and her son. She also realized that he had feelings for her.
"Mom, although I don't understand some things, I know that Big Brother is the best person to me in this world besides you. I also know that if I stay with Big Brother, I will never be wronged in this life."
"What a silly child!"
Zheng Xiujun looked at Xiao Xizi's serious expression and felt really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This silly boy really didn't understand anything about matters between men and women.
"Mom, do you agree?"
Xiao Xizi asked hurriedly with a look of joy on his face.
Zheng Xiujun curled her lips. What else could she say...
"You care so much about your mother, how can you not agree?"
Now that things have come to this, there is no more room for explanation. I can only go to the capital first.
Zheng Xiujun sighed inwardly.
The matter was settled and no one mentioned it again during the meal, so everyone was happy.
…
The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Xizi went to the town to find a carriage.
Zheng Xiujun had packed everything she needed to pack and was ready to go, waiting for the carriage to arrive.
She stood in the yard, looking at the vegetable garden, then at the flowers and plants, and anyway, she just looked back and forth at the familiar things in the yard.
"Madam, are you reluctant to leave?"
"Yes, although the life of a farmer is simple, with simple meals and an ordinary life, if you think about it, it wouldn't be a bad thing to live an ordinary life."
"But then again, it seems too difficult to live a peaceful and stable life..."
Zheng Xiujun sighed like this.
"People are like this. Sometimes you are willing to be ordinary, but there may be someone who won't let you be ordinary."
"yes."
Zheng Xiujun agreed, then slowly sat down on the stone bench, her eyebrows slightly raised as if she had thought of something.
Xing Bang felt a little strange seeing her like this and didn't say much, but he could tell from her words that she was not sighing because she was leaving here, but seemed to be thinking of something very complicated.
Moreover, Xing Bang also noticed that she looked somewhat haggard, probably because she did not get enough rest at night.
Zheng Xiujun sat down and subconsciously fell into deep thought...
She was really about to leave the dull life here, and some long-lost memories were recalled, but she didn't want to recall the past that she wanted to forget.
There is no reason to refuse to go to the capital, so I will go to the capital first. I just hope that this decision will not make me regret it one day, and I hope that it will not bring them any disaster...
She really just wants to live the rest of her life in peace and quiet.
Xing Bang has been observing Zheng Xiujun. She was not so depressed the first time he saw her in prison...
After a long while, Zheng Xiujun let out a long sigh, as if she had made up her mind, and her expression returned to normal.
Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure and quickly stood up: "Xier should be back soon! Look at me..." Seeing Xing Bang standing aside, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
At this moment, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the door, and Xiao Xizi came back.
Xing Bang chuckled: "This is the first time I see Madam thinking so intently. Women are really beautiful when they are serious..."
As they were talking, Xiao Xizi ran in.
"Brother, I said hello to Ma Wu and the others as you said...
Okay, Mom, let’s go!”
Zheng Xiujun nodded, then turned around to look at the locked house, and then slowly walked towards the carriage.
When they arrived, Xiao Xizi first helped Zheng Xiujun onto the carriage.
"Okay, big brother, let's go."
As he said that, he jumped onto the carriage driver's seat...
Xing Bang looked around and couldn't help but frowned: "Xiao Xizi, where is my horse?"
Xiao Xizi slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, brother, the horse was tied at the entrance of the town hall. I forgot about it and came out and drove the carriage back directly."
Xing Bang was speechless for a while. He really didn't know whether this silly boy really forgot or did it on purpose...
