Mrs. Deng held Zhao Liya's hand and looked her precious daughter up and down with a smile. Her eyes turned red before she even opened her mouth.
Think about it, my precious daughter finally got married safely, and she married a son-in-law she liked and who both I and my husband were satisfied with. This is a good thing, and I can't cry, it would be unlucky.
She quickly turned around and wiped away her tears.
Mrs. Deng was reluctant to let them go, and naturally, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin were even more reluctant.
Perhaps before exile, their relationship with their sister hadn't been this close, their attachment to her lesser sister. But a sudden disaster sent them plummeting from paradise to hell. The subsequent series of events left them completely bewildered. Such panic and fear were simply beyond the comprehension of an outsider.
Especially since they are so young.
However, just when they were panicking and at a loss as to what worse things might happen to them, their sister stood up bravely, took them under her wings, sheltered them from the wind and rain, and gave them the greatest protection and comfort.
From the moment they were exiled to Lingnan until they arrived there, their attachment to their sister reached an irreplaceable level.
As long as my sister is here, there is nothing to be afraid of! As long as my sister is here, they are safe and their hearts are at ease!
This feeling continues to this day.
Now that Zhao Liya was married, even though they had become the daughters of wealthy families and the sons of wealthy families again, how could their psychological feelings change so quickly? Their attachment to their sister remained unchanged.
Naturally, they couldn't get used to the sudden absence of their sister at home, and naturally felt uneasy for no reason.
At this moment, the sister and brother were standing on either side of Zhao Liya, and Zhao Lixiang was clinging to her sister like a little tail, unwilling to move away. She could only hug her sister and rub against her and act coquettishly.
One said: "I miss my sister so much! I miss my sister so much! My sister is finally back, hehe!"
One of them said, "Yes, yes, I'm not used to my sister not being home! Finally, my sister is back!"
Zhao Liya felt warm in her heart, but she also smiled with a headache. She looked at her mother, and both mother and daughter felt helpless and headache.
The child thought her sister had finally come back, just like she used to! Little did she know that her sister would only be back for a short while and would be leaving soon.
The mother and daughter had a tacit understanding and did not immediately and cruelly break the little one's dream. They just smiled and chatted.
Zhao Liya teased the brother and sister for a long time, making the two little ones giggle.
Zhao Liya calmly explained the situation to them and gave them some preventative measures, saying that the little ones would eventually get used to it.
After a while, Qu Yutao came in with a smile on her face.
Qu Yutao knew that her aunt and cousin must have something to say, so she smiled and said to Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin, "Xiang'er, Lin'er, let's go to the kitchen to see how lunch is going. We have to make a delicious meal for my sister and brother-in-law at noon today. Why don't you go and help?"
Children are greedy after all, and they also like the novelty. When they heard that they were going to the kitchen to watch delicious food being made, especially for their sister, they immediately became interested.
"Okay, okay, let's see what delicious food the kitchen has prepared for my sister!"
"I must make something my sister likes to eat!"
"Yes, let's go check it out!"
"Sister, don't go, wait for us to come back!"
Zhao Liya smiled and nodded in agreement. After a few words, the brother and sister happily followed Qu Yutao.
As soon as they left, the room suddenly became quiet.
Mrs. Deng glanced at her daughter and saw that she looked well and in good spirits. She breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help asking, "Ya'er, are you used to it? Are the Duke and his wife treating you well? Is your son-in-law okay too? And are those people from the second and third houses giving you any trouble?"
Duke Liguo and his wife, Mrs. Deng, were actually quite relieved. Although she had met and chatted with his wife, she knew that she was a very kind person. Due to her poor health, she was less concerned about things, but she was not the kind of person who would completely let go and not worry about anything. She had a very good sense of propriety.
Deng was not so cunning, but she intuitively felt that the wife of Duke Liguo must be a reliable person, at least the kind that could make people feel at ease when it came to big things.
She wasn't worried about her daughter being disliked by her parents-in-law, but it was harder to say about the second and third wives in the mansion. Especially with an old lady who relied on her age and seniority, she was probably even more difficult to deal with.
Mrs. Deng was a troublemaker, dreading dealing with villains. She deeply believed in the saying, "Villains are difficult to deal with." She herself was impatient to deal with them, and the thought of such matters gave her a headache, which naturally led to her worrying about her daughter.
No matter how good the prince is to his daughter, he is still a man and it is impossible for him to hang out in the harem all day.
In addition, he is now highly regarded by the emperor and is a popular figure in front of the emperor. I don’t know how busy he is outside every day. Even if he is willing, how can he have much time to take care of the affairs of the harem?
Because of this, Deng felt like she was living in a year for the past two or three days and was extremely worried.
Even though she saw that her daughter was fine and there was nothing wrong with her, and she didn't seem to be wronged or bullied, she was still a little worried.
Little did she know that her daughter had already been ready to go. After the return gift and all the necessary procedures were completed, and they officially started living together, she would start to deal with those dishonest people in the mansion.
What else? Would they be an eyesore? Would they constantly cause trouble for her, causing her trouble for no reason?
There are only thieves, but no one can guard against thieves all day. Being constantly on guard is not only annoying, but it also makes it difficult to guarantee that one mistake will be made.
If there is a single mistake in a perfect plan, wouldn't all the previous precautions be in vain?
What a loss! This is totally unprofitable!
She didn't want to do something that wasn't worth it.
Furthermore, over the years, the Duke and the Duchess have had no time to confront them, and have resorted to brutal force. Although they have suppressed major issues, there is no guarantee that there will be no omissions.
If this continues, they'll eventually find a way to cause trouble. It's time to clean up everything inside and out.
Zhao Liya naturally wouldn't tell her mother about these plans, so as not to make her worry even more - her mother would worry that she would lose, although that was impossible.
"Mother, please don't let your imagination run wild. The Duke's Mansion used to be run by the Duke, but now that I'm married, it will soon be me and the Prince. The second and third wives can't cause any trouble. It doesn't matter whether they obey or not. They still have to rely on the Duke's Mansion to survive. How dare they do anything to me? Even if they don't obey, they can just make a fuss for a while and then it will be fine! I'm not that easy to bully."
