Chapter 670 Bringing Good Fortune to Her Home
After a moment of contemplation, the master explained, "This dream indicates that the crown prince is not destined for the throne. If he is forced to sit on the dragon throne, there may be bloodshed."
"Ah!" Wei Xun and Madam Wu were both startled.
"Master, do you have any way to break this?"
The master put down his pen, looked up and said seriously, "Naturally, one should stay away from the throne. As long as one doesn't touch that dragon throne, the bloodshed will be averted immediately."
Wei Xun was shocked and incredulous. "Is this really the only way?"
The master nodded. "That's right, that's indeed the only way."
Wei Xun lowered his eyes, looking somewhat troubled.
He valued Qing'er more, and it was truly difficult for him to give her up.
Madam Wu advised from the side, "Let's listen to the master. It's better to believe in such things than not. Qing'er has suffered a lot with us, she can't suffer any more."
Wei Xun fell silent, and the two remained silent until they left the temple.
Three days later, before Lady Wu could speak, Wei Xun wrote an imperial edict, deposing Qing'er from his position as crown prince and granting him a fiefdom near Xuan Yue Kingdom, appointing him as a county prince.
Then he was given the title of Grand General.
Not only did it reconcile his relationship with his brother, but it also left him a fortune that he could enjoy indefinitely.
At this time, Xiao Qing'er and Mianmian were still at the old nanny's house.
In the past few days, Mianmian has learned that the old woman's surname is Qu.
Because Granny Qu had been living alone for many years, she was very happy to be with Xiao Qing'er and Mianmian.
She likes lively atmospheres.
After helping Granny Qu repair the house, Mianmian planned to leave.
Granny Qu collected all the eggs from the old hen over the past few days and gave them to Mianmian, wanting her to take them home.
Mianmian politely declined, saying, "Granny, you should keep these eggs for yourself."
With a smile, Granny Qu placed the basket of eggs on the carriage. "Miss, these eggs are all cooked by me. They're perfect for eating on the road."
Mianmian looked up and found that the eggs were indeed cooked.
"Granny, you're boiling all the eggs for us, but what will you eat?"
Granny Qu laughed and said, "My hen will lay three more eggs tomorrow, enough for me to eat by myself."
Seeing this, Mianmian nodded and smiled with Xiaoqing'er, and then the two got into the carriage and left.
On their way back, they overheard villagers talking about the inn at the entrance of a nearby village.
I heard that bandits came to the inn a few days ago.
Those bandits loved to rob and plunder in their village, but they were unlucky enough to encounter poisonous insects in the inn, and now some are dead and others are crippled.
With the bandits gone, their village was able to gradually live a peaceful life.
Mianmian smiled with relief.
Xiao Qing'er secretly watched her while peeling the eggshell.
Mianmian turned around and looked in the direction of Granny Qu.
"I wonder what will become of the old woman in the future?"
Xiao Qing'er handed her the peeled egg, "Do you still remember what your parents said?"
Mianmian took the egg, took a bite, and asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Qing'er took a handkerchief and wiped her lips, saying, "Good people are rewarded."
Mianmian smiled and said, "That's true."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stuffed the rest of the eggs into her mouth, her cheeks bulging.
Qing'er quickly went to get her some water, saying, "Eat slowly, don't rush."
Mianmian chuckled as she chewed, "It's okay, I'm all grown up now, I won't choke on eggs anymore."
Qing'er was still worried and told her to eat slowly.
These past few days, the two have been acting like a young married couple in front of Granny Qu, and they have unknowingly become much closer than before.
Qing'er may seem cold and reserved, but when facing Mianmian, he knows how to seize opportunities, when to say what, and when not to say it.
After Mianmian and Qing'er left the village.
Granny Qu's courtyard returned to its usual quiet desolation. She sighed deeply and said, "They're all gone! Ming'er, Juan'er! When will you be back?"
She had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on the door behind her.
Thinking it was Mianmian and the others returning, Granny Qu turned around and called out, "Miss, did you forget something?"
However, a voice suddenly called from outside the door, "Mother! I'm back!"
Granny Qu was startled; it was the voice of her eldest son, who had been away from home for over ten years.
Her body trembled as she approached the door, both surprised and delighted. "Is that you, Ming'er?"
The man outside the door called out loudly, "Mother! It's me!"
Granny Qu was overjoyed and quickly opened the door, where she saw her eldest son dressed in armor standing at the entrance.
Her eyes immediately blurred with tears. She strode forward, sobbing with joy, and exclaimed, "Ming'er, it really is you! You're finally back!"
Qu's eldest son walked up to his elderly mother and said with a smile, "Mother, you've suffered all these years alone at home."
Granny Qu looked at him carefully, reached out and pinched his shoulders and arms, and after confirming his identity again and again, tears streamed down her face. "You're finally back, my son. I've been waiting for you for so long."
Qu's eldest son also looked guilty and explained, "Mother, I was sick in the army all these years and only recovered a few days ago."
"Sick? What's wrong? Is it still serious?" Granny Qu was very anxious.
