Chapter 562
Seeing Zhong Jie like this, Huo Shu shook his head helplessly.
He could tell that Zhong Jie was just being stubborn now, unlike her previous resentment.
At this moment, the cook, who had been busy all day, stepped forward and said, "Madam, lunch is ready."
Zhong Jie nodded, glanced at Huo Shu, and seeing that he seemed alright, straightened her clothes and stepped out, with Huo Shu following closely behind.
As soon as I got closer, I heard Mrs. Chen's helpless voice coming from inside.
"My dear child, I already said I'd stay with you, would I lie to you? Besides, that person is nothing like the Yun family. Don't be afraid, your parents are here!"
"If I go to Luoyang, will Mother come with me?"
"I'll follow you! Wherever you go, I'll follow! Don't worry, I keep my word, and this time I definitely won't abandon you!"
"Alright, alright, stop clinging to me, it's time to eat."
Outside, the mother and son exchanged a glance; one's eyes reddened, and the other sighed.
After there was no sound from inside, Zhong Jie raised her hand to knock on the door.
Soon, Madam Chen and Yunxi came out together.
"Lunch is ready, shall we go?"
The group went downstairs.
Just then, Duan Huaichuan arrived.
He carried a lot of things with him.
"Huaichuan, sit down and eat with me."
Duan Huaichuan responded, and seeing that there were people on both sides of Yunxi, he sat down next to Madam Chen.
"I only found out about what happened last night this morning," Duan Huaichuan said, his face full of shame. "I'm so sorry."
Madam Chen smiled and said, "You didn't start the fire, so what's there to be sorry about?"
Although Duan Huaichuan did not start the fire, this area was under his jurisdiction, and this was a dereliction of duty on his part.
Seeing that Duan Huaichuan still looked remorseful, Yunxi tilted her head and looked at the large and small bags he had brought: "Brother Huaichuan, what are these?"
"I went to the Chen family's house this morning and packed my things out."
Duan Huaichuan said, "The kitchen burned down, but there wasn't much damage to the other rooms. The trunks where I kept my clothes were all intact, so I pulled them all out."
As he spoke, Duan Huaichuan took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Madam Chen.
Madam Chen was delighted: "Alright, Xi'er, Mother will take you shopping this afternoon!"
Out of the corner of her eye, Madam Chen noticed Zhong Jie staring longingly at them and said with a smile, "And your mother, let's go together!"
Zhong Jie watched Yun Xi nervously until the latter nodded, at which point she breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Shu, who had been completely ignored, glanced at Duan Huaichuan.
He said, "Xi'er, the person we questioned last night has been found out. When are we going to Luoyang?"
After saying that, he glanced at Duan Huaichuan again.
He's done quite a lot! Just look at Duan Huaichuan, for example.
Duan Huaichuan clearly sensed Huo Shu's rejection and looked completely bewildered.
But Yunxi didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Madam Chen squeezed Yunxi's hand.
Although she didn't speak, her meaning was clear—
She will go back with Yunxi.
Since that's the case, Yunxi has nothing to be afraid of: "Let's listen to... Madam's opinion."
Her use of the word "Madam" ignited a flash of hatred in Zhong Jie's eyes.
This hatred was not directed at Yun Xi, but at the Yun family.
It's all that family's fault!
Otherwise, she would have heard her daughter call her mother long ago!
Damn it!
“No rush,” Zhong Jie said, composing herself. “Rest well for a couple of days, then have your brother send a letter to Luoyang to get your yard ready.”
Yunxi's courtyard was already built before she was even born.
Over the years, although the family no longer lives in Luoyang, they have long since instructed their steward to take good care of them.
Yunxi nodded.
