"Why did you do this, why..." Xie Wanyun asked hesitantly.
Why do you care about me so much? Could it be, could it be... She didn't dare to think about it, but she couldn't help thinking about it. Since her rebirth, every moment she spent with Yan Suizhi surfaced in her mind. Especially that time, when she was drugged by Qin Suan and was unconscious, but she clung to his arms passionately...
Yan Suizhi looked at her with a gentle smile. "Meimei, don't ask anymore. I can only tell you that I am willing to do these things for you."
Xie Wanyun's eyes welled up with tears, and her throat choked with sobs. For Yan Suizhi, for Jin Bai. This day had given her so many surprises and surprises that she could barely handle it.
"Mianmei, don't worry. When the time is right, I will return Jinbai to you. Trust me."
Xie Wanyun nodded heavily, tears blurring her eyes. How could she not trust him? Besides him, who else could care for Jin Bai like this, protecting him all the way and taking care of him until he grew up?
Who else can stand up and protect her when she is isolated and helpless?
Early that morning, before Xie Wanyun left her house, a servant came running in in a panic, reporting, "Madam, someone has arrived from the palace. Please hurry to the front hall to receive the imperial decree."
Xie Wanyun was also a bit surprised. Without giving it much thought, he quickly changed into formal attire, tidied his appearance, and went to the front hall.
The man who came from the palace was none other than the eunuch Liu who served the Empress Dowager. He was about fifty years old, plump and white, with a very amiable look on his face.
"Hello, Eunuch Liu." Xie Wanyun bowed respectfully.
"Madam Xie, there's no need to be so polite. I'm here to deliver a message from the Empress Dowager today," Eunuch Liu said with a smile. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "I haven't seen Wanyun for a long time. I really miss her. Please ask her to come to the palace to see me. She'll be a great companion for me in the Spring Search."
He imitated the Queen Mother's speech, from the tone, intonation to the mannerisms, and his voice was so high-pitched that it really sounded like the Queen Mother was speaking to him.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your grace." Xie Wanyun knelt politely to receive the order. Although Eunuch Liu said there was no need to be polite, etiquette must be abandoned.
She turned around, took the banknote from Yuzhui's hand and handed it to Eunuch Liu, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch. This is for your tea."
"Oh, Madam, you're so polite! How could we possibly accept that?" Eunuch Liu smiled brightly, his words polite, but his hands honestly took the banknote. Seeing the number on it, his eyes narrowed with delight. They say Madam Xie is incredibly wealthy, and it's true. This errand today was truly worth it.
"Thank you, Madam. The Queen Mother is not in good health right now and doesn't like to see outsiders, but she specifically asked to see you. This honor is rare." Eunuch Liu took the money and wanted to reveal more information.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Liu."
Eunuch Liu left happily.
The empress dowager was also a daughter of the Xie family and was Xie Wanyun's great-aunt. When the Xie family died for their country, Xie Wanyun was escorted back to the capital by her subordinates at the risk of their lives. The empress dowager then brought her up by her side and always cared for her.
However, in the past few years since Xie Wanyun got married, the Empress Dowager has been in poor health, taking medicine all the time and not wanting to see people. Xie Wanyun hasn't seen her for quite some time.
Thinking that she would have to go to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager and attend the Spring Festival, which would take at least seven or eight days, she didn't dare to delay and immediately took a carriage to the shop.
Especially for several large shops such as Yunjianfang, Huarong, and Chenlou, she called a meeting with the shopkeepers and clerks and explained what matters needed to be paid attention to during her absence.
Everyone knew that she was meticulous in her work, so they all agreed and no one dared to slack off.
Xie Wanyun explained everything clearly, and then she felt relieved. These days, she went to see Jin Bai every day. The child's health has improved, but he still can't get cold or do strenuous exercise. So he stayed at home these days.
The children also missed him and wanted to come and see him, but Xie Wanyun was afraid of tiring Jin Bai, so he didn't allow them to go.
