The three ladies were stunned when they heard this.
Shen was the first to react and said:
“Your grandmother is fine. She was so worried about your grandfather and you these days that she couldn’t eat or drink.
Now that Hanlan is negotiating peace, I think your grandfather, uncle, and brothers will all return to Beijing.
Plus, with your safe return, she's feeling much better now!"
Han on the side also said:
"Yes, your grandmother always pays great attention to taking care of her health. Now, she is looking forward to you growing up and getting married soon..."
Si Jinxing was listening to Han talking, but suddenly heard her aunt Shen cough, interrupting Han's next words.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Shen, but saw that her eyes were evasive.
She looked at Han again and saw a trace of regret and worry flash across Han's eyes.
She was suspicious, but did not ask, she just said:
"Grandma is getting older, so we need to pay more attention to her."
The three aunts said a few words to the old lady, and then pulled Si Jinxing aside to ask about the flood in Xuzhou.
Si Jinxing did not want to spoil the fun, and followed the three people's conversation, telling them many interesting things that happened along the way, but he ignored the attack and shipwreck.
After talking for a while, Si Jinxing wanted to see which street she was on. She just lifted the curtain and saw a man in black standing in front of the shop across the street with his hands behind his back...
Her eyes lit up and she shouted at the man, "Qi Moli!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled back by Shen and said:
"You should be more restrained in public."
Si Jinxing wanted to say something, but the carriage had already moved forward a lot. Maybe the man didn't see her?
only......
At the moment when the curtains fell, she seemed to see a woman in purple standing next to the man?
Si Jinxing felt her heart tighten. Who was that person? Why was he next to Qi Moli?
She traveled all the way and finally returned to Beijing, but that man didn't even come to pick her up and was actually shopping with another woman?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, considering that in recent days, that person had clearly written letters to Mo Qiu, Bai Xi, and even to Liu Kai's father.
But he didn't even leave her a word!
Shen was closest to her, and seeing the look on her face, she said:
"Xing'er, auntie doesn't ask for anything else, she only hopes that you will be happy and cheerful every day, and don't be frightened by what you see.
Auntie has always known that you are a strong-willed child, but no matter how strong-willed you are, don't forget that you still have the Lan Mansion behind you!"
After hearing this, Si Jinxing thought about what Shen had just said when she interrupted Han, and what she had just seen on the street...
Her heart was like a raging sea!
That purple-dressed woman...
The carriage creaked and turned, and soon arrived outside the Lan Mansion.
As soon as they saw the carriage arrive, someone ran into the courtyard to report.
Shen took Si Jinxing's hand, stepped into the yard, and said:
"Now that you're back, you should cheer up. Your aunt and uncle are living in the Si Mansion now!
That yard is filled with smoke and smog, so be prepared and don't get irritated by those scoundrels!"
Si Jinxing was originally in a depressed mood, but when he heard Shen's words, he immediately became energetic.
She snorted coldly and said:
"Those loaches that barged in here need to go back to the river where they belong if they don't want to die of saltiness!"
After hearing her words, Shen finally felt relieved.
When the group arrived outside the old lady's yard, they saw the old lady standing outside the door, looking out eagerly.
Si Jinxing hated to see such scenes the most. She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears fell.
She rushed towards the old lady, took her arm and said:
"Grandma, you can just wait in the room. Why are you out in such a cold weather?
If you catch a cold by accident, you’ll be in great pain again!”
The old lady saw her granddaughter drop a golden bean, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it for her, saying:
"You little girl, you actually forgot that your grandmother once studied medicine. Could it be that she can't even take care of herself?
But you, how come you have become so thin in just two months?
What? Is this a difficult errand?
Tell grandma who tripped you up!
Even if my grandmother complained to the Empress Dowager, even if she put on the imperial robes and complained to the emperor!
If it really doesn't work, your grandfather has a lot of military achievements, the emperor will give him some face!
No matter what, I have to win back a game for my little Xing'er!"
Upon hearing her grandmother's heroic words, Si Jinxing stepped forward, hugged the old lady's slightly frail body, and called out softly, "Grandma!"
It turns out that the feeling of having someone behind you is really warm and heartwarming!
She felt her mind suddenly clear up a little, and when she let go of the old lady, she felt her pulse.
Then, everyone went into the house one after another.
At this time, it was already dark, and the meals prepared in the kitchen were brought in one after another.
The Lan family has a simple population, usually consisting of the old lady and three wives. Now with the addition of a young lady, the family has become much more lively!
Nanny Tan, who was serving the old lady, said with a smile while helping her to serve the dishes:
"Young lady, since you are here, the old lady will eat a few more mouthfuls of food!"
Si Jinxing looked at her grandmother, whose face was a little pale, and felt a pang in her heart. She said:
"In the future, Xing'er will definitely stay by Grandma's side all the time. Don't blame me for being a stubborn person who won't leave you!"
A reunion dinner, full of joy!
But Si Jinxing clearly felt that everyone was deliberately avoiding her marriage.
She politely declined the kindness of her three aunts and did not stay overnight at the Lan Mansion. Instead, she got on a carriage and headed straight to Xuanwu Street!
In front of the house next to the Si Mansion, Si Jinxing stared at the still blank plaque.
That day, she asked Qingchan, your master is so lazy that he can't even bother to come up with a name?
Qingchan said that he was afraid that he would not like the name given by his master.
She smiled self-deprecatingly. If she really cared, why didn't she come up with a good name and ask herself to choose from it?
Qing Chan behind him had noticed that the princess's expression was very strange when they were at Lan's house just now, and it was even worse now!
She couldn't help but ask, "Princess, what happened? We are in the capital now. If there is anything, you can go and tell the prince!"
When Si Jinxing heard this, her face darkened and she smiled, pursing her lips:
"Why should I tell your prince every word of my affairs?
He is him, I am me, yes, you are all his, so how could you not help him hide it from me? "
