Chapter 483 Rules Are Rules
Ma Jingrong threw himself into Zhou Yunxia's arms and cried miserably.
Almost, really almost.
If he had run slower, he might have had his arm twisted and thrown aside like the servant beside him.
He didn't want to become a cripple, nor did he want to have a good relationship with his cousin. He was so scared.
Ma Jingrong held his mother's clothes tightly, not caring at all whether his mother's frail body could support his pig-like physique.
"Mom, I want to go home, I want to find Dad, I want to find Dad!"
In Ma Jingrong's eyes, only his father's tall and strong physique can give him a sense of security, and he wants to go home.
Zhou Yunxia looked at her son who was making a fuss in her arms and wanted to comfort him, but he was crying so hard that he couldn't hear her voice at all.
"You're so noisy."
When the disgusted baby voice came, Ma Jingrong, who had opened his mouth to cry, seemed to be strangled by someone, and his crying stopped abruptly.
Even though he stopped crying, he was like a mole, eager to crawl into his mother's clothes and hide himself tightly, for fear that the little devil would see him.
Yes, in Ma Jingrong's eyes at this moment, Xixi is like a little devil. She is so scary, and the people around her are also scary!
Zhou Yunxia looked at her son who kept his mouth shut but was burrowing into her arms fearfully, then glanced at Xixi, Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others who came in from outside, pulled him out of her arms, and stood up from the chair.
The moment Ma Jingrong was put on the ground by his mother, he looked at Xixi opposite him and stood there stiffly like a piece of wood.
With so many people around, she wouldn't let anyone chop off her arm, right?
The tears in Ma Jingrong's eyes were so frightened by Xixi that they hung on his long eyelashes. Looking at the way they were about to fall out, he looked so pitiful.
"Greetings to His Majesty."
Zhou Yunxia's action of standing up and saluting prompted Li Jialan, Wu Yue and others to stand up as well.
While they were still hesitating whether to salute Xixi, Zhou Jianwu, who came with Ji Sheng, set an example.
He saluted Xixi without any hesitation. After Xixi nodded and asked him to stand up, Li Jialan and others also saluted Xixi.
It is true that Xixi is young and is their junior, but she also has a more important identity, that is, the current emperor.
If some rules are not established at the beginning, it will be too late when someone catches you later.
"Grandma, get up quickly."
Xixi went forward to help Li Jialan and the others up, but did not say that they did not have to greet each other in the future.
Her father said that rules are rules.
Because she is young and of a lower generation, some rules should be strictly followed.
At this moment, Ma Jingrong looked at Xixi and felt like the sky was falling.
Because even the grandfather who he thought was the most powerful seemed to have to listen to the words of this little devil in front of him.
After everyone sat down, the flower hall became crowded and the atmosphere was a little awkward and depressing, until Xixi looked at Ma Jingrong who was sitting next to her.
"What were you running for?"
Ma Jingrong had a sad face, and his mouth was so flat that it almost drooped down to his chin.
Seeing that her grandson was shy and didn't dare to speak, Wu Yue smiled and said to Xixi, "He just ran in crying and said someone wanted to chop off his arm. He was scared."
Wu Yue didn't know whether her grandson was telling the truth or lying. Although they had not been together for a long time, she could see that her grandson was spoiled excessively when he was in the Ma family.
After hearing Wu Yue's explanation, Xixi walked over to Ma Jingrong and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I won't chop anyone's arm casually."
When Ma Jingrong heard Xixi say this, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.
Doesn't the meaning of not cutting casually mean that he will still cut it? He really doesn't want to become a cripple!
Xixi looked at Ma Jingrong, who was crying, speechlessly. She looked at Zhou Jianwu innocently and said, "Uncle, he keeps crying."
Zhou Jianwu looked at the crying Ma Jingrong and frowned, saying, "You're too delicate."
Zhou Yunxia clenched her fists and looked at her father nervously.
"Since you've decided to stay at home, Jingrong is not young anymore, so he will live in the front yard with his brothers from now on."
"Wow..."
Ma Jingrong was about to open his mouth and cry when Zhou Jianwu looked at him and said, "Shut up."
Ma Jingrong was so scared that he closed his mouth, but tears kept falling down.
He wanted to sleep with his mother.
He clearly slept with his wet nurse when he was at home, so why did he have to sleep with his brothers when he arrived in the capital?
Ma Jingrong's pitiful appearance made Wu Yue feel distressed. "Xiaorong, be good. It's okay. It will be fun to practice martial arts and study with your brother in the future."
Yuan Li and Yuan Yi stepped forward and pulled Ma Jingrong to their side. Yuan Ruo whispered, "Don't cry, you'll have others to cry about later."
When Ma Jingrong heard this, his tears fell even faster.
He wants to go home o(╥﹏╥)o.
During the meal, Ma Jingrong, who just wanted to stick to his mother, was pulled by Yuan Li and Yuan Yi to sit at their table.
Xixi's seat was originally at the main table, but she only sat there for a while when the meal just started, and then ran to Yuan Li and Yuan Yi's table.
Ma Jingrong was fine when Xixi didn't come over, but after she came over, he became visibly stiff.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a very nice person."
After Xixi finished speaking, Ma Jingrong felt even more scared.
Good people don't say they are good people.
"Eat."
After Xixi finished speaking, Ma Jingrong subconsciously looked at the servants around him.
Yuan Li looked at his younger brother and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Ma Jingrong had lost all his ambition now. He said silently, "No one serves me dinner."
Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others looked at Ma Jingrong speechlessly: ...
Is he serious when he says this?
Whether in the past or now, they have basically been eating by themselves since they were three years old.
"Don't you have hands?" Xixi picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat it yourself."
Ma Jingrong wanted to say that he had never eaten it, but when he saw Yuan Li and Yuan Yi around him eating with their own cutlery, he thought about it and picked up the chopsticks himself.
But Ma Jingrong did not eat by himself. He only took a few bites and made his clothes dirty.
Ma Jingrong wanted to cry when he saw how miserable he was, but no one around him cared about him at all.
He turned his head to look at his mother, only to see her eating and talking with a smile on her face, not paying any attention to him at all.
No one paid attention, so Ma Jingrong had to comfort himself and then continued eating with chopsticks in silence.
After lunch, Ma Jingrong thought he could finally be with his mother.
But when he saw Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others saying hello to the adults and walking towards the front yard together, Ma Jingrong silently glanced at his mother and tacitly agreed that he would also leave with Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others.
Zhou Yunxia looked at her son following behind her nephews, and the corners of her mouth curled up with relief.
It was right for her to leave the Ma family and insist on bringing Jingrong back. If she continued to stay in the Ma family, her son would be ruined.
