Chapter 55 Return to Beijing
After a series of twists and turns, the group finally returned to Beijing.
The carriage was originally heading to the palace, but Pei Xuanyi pondered for a while and asked the driver to go to the Qin family first.
"Everyone hasn't seen their parents for many days, so let's go home and report safety first. As for the report, it won't be too late to wait for the emperor's summons and then enter the palace."
Zhou Fangze and Zhou Fangyu got off the car halfway, and this route just passed the Zhou family on the outskirts of the city.
Only the Qin family and Pei Xuanyi were left, and the atmosphere in the carriage was much more relaxed.
"This time, Lord Fu and I will go to the palace to explain the situation to the emperor. You may be summoned to an audience soon, or you may be rewarded directly."
Pei Xuanyi paused and pretended to mention Xixi casually.
"Well, if you want to go to the palace, you can bring Xixi to see me. The emperor likes Xixi very much and gave her a token that allows her to enter and leave the palace freely. Or you can notify me and I will bring you in to play."
Qin Qixuan saw Pei Xuanyi's guilty look and instantly realized that the little grandson of the emperor might have other intentions. He
didn't want to invite them to the palace to play. It was obvious that he only wanted to invite Xixi to the palace to play! After
perfunctorily saying a few words to the little grandson of the emperor with a fake smile, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Qin Mansion.
However, Qin Qixuan also felt as if he was in another world.
I have been away from home for more than two months. I wonder how my mother is doing now?
Little Xixi was also very excited.
[Finally home! Mother, mother, I miss you so much! 】
Qin Qixuan said goodbye to Pei Xuanyi and got off the carriage holding Qin Xixi.
At the gate of the Qin family, Qin Shu, who had received the news a long time ago, was standing at the gate anxiously waiting for them. Qin
Qixuan's eyes were sore.
He was afraid that his mother had people guarding the city gate every day so that she could get the news of their return so quickly.
Qin Shu was also very surprised to see her two children. She walked over quickly and hugged Qin Qixuan and Qin Xixi in his arms.
"Mother!"
Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this.
She looked down. Was it little Xixi who called her mother?
Seeing her stunned, little Xixi called again.
"Mother!"
Qin Shu's eyes were immediately filled with tears, and she couldn't help crying.
"My little Xixi has been away from her mother for more than two months, and she can already call me mom!"
This is the first time that she has been away from her for such a long time since Xixi was born!
In the past two months, she has been thinking all the time whether her children are safe outside and whether they will be hungry in the food-scarce Liancheng.
Now seeing the two of them standing in front of her intact, she can't help but feel satisfied.
[Mom, don't cry! We are back! ]
Qin Xixi reached out to wipe away the tears on Qin Shu's face and smiled at her innocently, causing Qin Shu to laugh.
She scratched Xixi's nose.
"Xixi is back, mother is happy."
Qin Qixuan seemed to have just come back to his senses.
It is said that Zhou Yiyang looks elegant, and the good looks of the Qin family children are all from him.
But now that he has seen his mother become thinner, he feels that all the children in the Qin family are beautiful because his mother is beautiful!
"Mom, you have lost weight!"
Qin Shu did not expect that the first sentence her son said when he saw her would be this.
She was very upset, and the warmth she had just seen her son disappeared.
"Your mother's poison has been cured, so of course she has lost weight."
"What's wrong? Do you find it incredible that your mother has lost weight?"
"You didn't expect your mother to be so beautiful, did you!"
Qin Shu beat Qin Qixuan mercilessly.
Sure enough, as long as the son was sure that he was still alive, he could rest assured.
"Mom, is my sister back!"
The third child just left the school and heard the servant say that the young lady was back. He was immediately happy and ran back directly from the school.
Although Qin Shu has lost weight, the little fat boy is still a little round like before.
He missed his sister so much!
As soon as he came back, he didn't even have time to put down his schoolbag, and rushed directly to his dear sister.
Qin Qixuan was afraid that his sister would be crushed, so he hurriedly stopped the third brother's action.
"Sister, do you miss your third brother!"
Before little Xixi could say anything, the third brother couldn't help crying.
"Wuwuwu, my dear sister has been away from me for two months and eighteen days, I really miss Xixi!"
Qin Xixi was surprised that the third brother remembered it so clearly!
"San... Sanpige."
The third brother was also stunned when he heard it.
Xixi was calling him!
Xixi called him brother!
The third brother cried even harder.
"Wuwuwu, Xixi has actually learned to call me brother!"
How many things has she experienced in these two months and eighteen days that he doesn't know about!
[Why is the third brother still crying? I miss him too, as much as I miss my mother.]
These words greatly pleased the third brother.
Qin Xixi saw that the third brother was acting strangely, crying and laughing at the same time, with tears flowing into his mouth!
Everyone in the mansion was very happy that the two had returned from Liancheng. Qin Shu even specially ordered the mansion to prepare a banquet to welcome Xixi and Qin Qixuan back home, and also to welcome Qin Qiting to become a member of their family.
In fact, Qin Qiting has been a little restrained since he arrived at the Qin Mansion.
However, Qin Shu treated him very well, and Xixi's brothers knew about his arrival in advance and were very welcoming.
After all, the Qin family is rich, so it doesn't matter whether they raise six children or seven.
"Here, I would like to introduce my Qin Shu's stepson to everyone. My son's name is Qin Qi Ting."
In front of many guests, Qin Shu officially announced to the whole capital that her Qin family had adopted a boy.
Qin Qi Ting's eyes had been red since the beginning of the banquet, and now his eyes were sore and he almost shed tears.
Is this the feeling of home?
"Thank you, Madam Qin, thank you, Brother Qin and Sister Xixi."
He choked up a little and thanked several people one by one.
Qin Shu looked at him with some reproach at this time.
"You've already moved into the mansion, but you still call me Madam Qin?" Qin Qi Ting
was stunned.
Qin Shu actually wanted him to call her mother!
He actually had a mother!
"Mom, mother!"
With red eyes, he called Qin Shu solemnly.
Qin Shu's eyes lit up immediately.
"Good boy, take this jade pendant as a reward for changing your words. From now on, you are the child of our Qin family. If anyone in the capital dares to gossip about you or bully you, just fight back. The Qin family will cover you if anything happens!"
Qin Qi Ting hugged Qin Shu with emotion.
I heard from my eldest brother a long time ago that my father is a bastard, so they are equivalent to having no father.
But even though he has no father, he has such a good mother, and Qin Qi Ting is already very satisfied!
At this banquet, no one mentioned Zhou Yiyang, as if he had never been a member of the Qin family.
Unexpectedly, when the banquet was over, Zhou Yiyang came by himself.
Seeing the table after table of dishes, Zhou Yiyang's face changed.
"Why are you wasting so much money in your house!"
