Weir City.
Xiao Mansion.
"Master, how is mother?" When Mrs. Xiao saw Xiao Yunqi pushing the door and walking in, she walked up to him, waved her hand, sent away the maid who was about to change his clothes, and raised her hand to personally take off Xiao Yunqi's outer shirt.
She kept moving her hands, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yunqi, licked her lips, and asked.
Xiao Yunqi swallowed his saliva, moistened his throat and said, "Mother has finished her dinner. I saw her come out after she finished eating and rested. Madam, don't worry."
He raised his hand, held Mrs. Xiao's hand, and gently patted the back of her hand.
"Mother will be fine after having the meal." Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
I've been lucky enough to have my husband at home these days.
It seems that the only one who can control his mother is her own biological son.
"By the way, have you seen the letter from Er?"
Mrs. Xiao took the coat that Xiao Yunqi had taken off and shook it in her hand. Then she put it on her arm and turned to walk towards the screen inside the room.
She walked to the screen and was about to put the coat on her arm on the screen, when she suddenly remembered something and slowly turned around. She blinked, looked up at Xiao Yunqi in the room, and opened her mouth to speak to him.
Xiao Yunqi licked his lips, shook his head, and replied, "No, I was only busy watching my mother eat in her room these past two days, and I haven't even entered the study. What's wrong? Madam has read it. What is the matter in his letter? It's still about the female doctor named Li that he mentioned in his letter before."
He frowned slightly, looked into Madam Xiao's eyes, and asked.
When talking about the contents of the last letter, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yunqi looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Despite what happened to their fifth sister, the couple did not interfere in their son's marriage.
But this does not mean that he can just bring back a woman of unknown origin from outside.
If it was just an ordinary concubine, they could just turn a blind eye.
But the degree of importance his son attached to the woman in the letter clearly showed that he was moved by her, and not just focused on her appearance.
As parents, they are obviously not mentally prepared for this.
When Mrs. Xiao learned that her son already had someone he loved, she felt even more tormented than Xiao Yunqi.
In the whole house, only he and his mother knew that Xinlan liked Er, and they did not tell Xiao Yunqi about it.
Madam Xiao pursed her lips, shook her head, and then said with her mouth open, "No, he didn't mention anything else in the letter this time. He just simply said that he was going to return home with Wu Jing, and that he would pay more attention on his way back and inquire about Xin Lan's whereabouts."
"It's good that he's back. These vassal kings are fighting for the world, but the common people are the ones who suffer. We don't know how long these wars will last. If they continue like this, even Yandu, the capital of medicine, won't be able to hold out for too long."
Xiao Yunqi walked up to Madam Xiao and said, "A mother worries when her son is away from home. Madam, your heart is in suspense every day that Yixie is away. If you can get him back soon, you can rest assured."
"Master, there is actually something I have been hiding from you for a few days. I have not yet figured out whether to tell you..."
Mrs. Xiao bit her lower lip. She opened her eyelids and glanced at the change in Xiao Yunqi's expression out of the corner of her eye.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yunqi frowned and opened his mouth, asking suspiciously, "Did Madam do something to let me down behind my back?"
Wan'er rarely shows this expression.
Could it be that her childhood sweetheart came looking for her again?
Otherwise, why would the lady hide it from me?
Madam Xiao raised her eyes and glared at Xiao Yunqi, saying angrily, "What are you thinking about, my husband? Since I entered the Xiao Mansion, everything I have thought about and done has been for my husband's sake. How could my husband think of me like this?"
She bit her lower lip and twisted her body to turn her back.
Judging from the way he looked just now, he must want to bring up the past again.
He will probably remember that trivial matter for the rest of his life.
What a petty old man!
"Madam, that's not what I meant." Xiao Yunqi stretched out his hand and put it around Madam Xiao's shoulders, and he explained with his lips parted.
Madam Xiao leaned to the side and asked, "What does my husband mean?"
"I……"
Xiao Yunqi moved his mouth, feeling a sense of inexplicability.
He bit his lower lip, feeling extremely regretful.
It's all my fault. I always talk about things that are not related to the topic.
"Madam, it's all my fault. Otherwise, please hit me twice to vent your anger." Xiao Yunqi took a step forward with his long legs, grabbed Madam Xiao's wrist, and punched his chest twice.
He just spoke too quickly and he already knows he was wrong.
Madam Xiao pulled her hand out, her eyes slightly red as she said, "The master is like this every time, his words are like knives, and then he downplays them."
"Madam, don't be sad." Xiao Yunqi looked at his wife's red eyes and felt distressed. "It's my husband who is a bastard. I will teach him a lesson myself."
He pretended to attack himself.
"Okay, Master, just rely on me because I can't bear to give up."
Mrs. Xiao stretched out her hand and took Xiao Yunqi's hand.
She glared at him unhappily, bit her lip, and burst into laughter.
"I hope you are not angry with me." Xiao Yunqi held Madam Xiao's hand with his backhand, "Madam, what did you want to say to me just now?"
Now that the storm has subsided, let’s get back to the topic.
"My husband, haven't you always wondered why Xinlan had to sneak out of the house alone to find Er?" Madam Xiao raised her eyes, looked at Xiao Yunqi and said.
She originally wanted to wait until she found Wang Xinlan before discussing the matter with him.
But man proposes, God disposes.
Love is not something that can be achieved just by wishful thinking.
Xiao Yunqi licked his lips and nodded, "Well, Madam, do you know the inside story?" He blinked and looked down at Madam Xiao's eyes, "Could it be that Madam knows some secret that I don't know?"
When Mrs. Xiao heard Xiao Yunqi's question, she swallowed, pursed her lips, and thought in her mind how to organize her words better.
"We should have seen it earlier." She sighed.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yunqi felt even more confused after hearing what his wife said. He raised his hand and scratched his cheek, "Madam, just speak frankly."
Guessing people's thoughts is the most difficult thing.
Especially guessing a woman's mind is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Madam Xiao licked her lips and met Xiao Yunqi's gaze, "Xinlan is happy with Er."
After thinking for a long time, she finally said it.
"What? Impossible!"
Xiao Yunqi rejected it subconsciously.
"I have confirmed this with my mother, and she said it herself." Mrs. Xiao had already anticipated Xiao Yunqi's reaction. After all, when she first learned about this, her reaction was even greater than his.
