Weir City.
Xiao Mansion.
“Knock knock knock—”
After several days and nights of trekking through mountains and rivers and riding at full speed, Xiao Yihe, Wang Xinlan and Wujing finally returned to their hometown.
Wujing walked up the stone steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door of the mansion.
“Here I come.”
There was a knock on the door, and the servant's voice immediately responded from inside.
“Bang—”
The servant reached out and took off the bolt behind the door, then he used both hands to open the door.
I was just about to see who was knocking on the door.
As soon as he saw Xiao Yihe beside Wujing.
The servant's eyes widened. He quickly raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, fearing that he was seeing things.
"Master! And cousin, it's really you! I thought I was seeing things just now and didn't dare to confirm it." The servant licked his lips and said in surprise, "I have to go and tell the master and his wife this good news."
He turned around and ran towards the mansion.
"Master, Madam, the young master and the cousin are back!" The servant ran towards the Xiao Mansion while keeping his mouth busy, announcing the news before he even arrived.
Wujing: I have become the ignored air in front of you?
"Wujing, let's go in." Xiao Yihe looked at the servants in the mansion who were so excited that they forgot about them, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He could understand that they were excited.
But it wasn't that serious. He was too excited. After all, they had already arrived at Fuwai. He just opened the door and ran inside to announce the news of their return. It would be better to at least let them in first. So he left them outside and ran in alone.
Xiao Yihe didn't have the time to argue with a servant about such a trivial matter.
He turned his eyes to the Five Classics beside him, licked his lips and spoke to him.
Fortunately, they didn't have too many things, so each person could take just a little.
"You said the young master is back? Where are they now?" When Mrs. Xiao heard the servant's message, she suddenly stood up from her chair, looked at the servant, and asked him.
The servant licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and replied, "The young master and his family are outside the mansion. I was so excited just now that I just opened the door and then thought of coming to tell the master and his wife about this good news."
He seemed to realize belatedly that he was wrong.
"Madam, you just wait in the hall. I will go and bring the young master over." The servant said considerately.
Madam Xiao waved her hand and said, "No, I have to go with you to see it in person."
This was the first time Xiao Yihe traveled so far away.
Whenever she heard that a war had broken out somewhere, her heart would wrench in her throat, fearing that it was that place her son had passed through.
She was worried as long as he was on the road.
"Okay, ma'am." The servant nodded and said.
"But you need to wait a moment. Please wait here for a while. I will go to the backyard, to the old lady's room, and tell her the good news." When Madam Xiao saw that the servant was about to leave, she licked her lips and spoke to him with her mouth open.
My mother has been worrying about something these days and hasn't been eating or sleeping well. She has lost a lot of weight. Now I'm going to tell her the good news so she can rest assured.
Now that they are all back, the old lady should be able to put her worries aside.
"Really? Both Er and Lan came back safely?" When Old Madam Xiao heard what Madam Xiao said, she immediately perked up, raised her eyes, her gaze instantly became clear, and asked with her mouth open.
"Of course it's true, mother. When has Wan'er ever lied to you?"
Madam Xiao reached out her hand, supported Old Lady Xiao’s wrist, and helped her up from the couch.
"I need to change my clothes!" Old Madam Xiao made a fuss and wanted to get up.
Madam Xiao heard this and said, "Mother, let Wan'er change your clothes for you."
“No, no.” The old lady waved her hand. “Wan’er, I don’t need you to serve me here. I have Xiao Lingling here. I’ll ask Xiao Lingling to help me change my clothes. Go and greet them. I’ll be here soon.”
When Madam Xiao heard what Old Lady Xiao said, she blinked her eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, mother, don't be too anxious, take your time, Wan'er just needs to lead Xinlan and the others to mother's room."
"No, just in the hall."
Madam Xiao spoke.
"Okay, then I'll do as my mother says." Madam Xiao licked her lips and said with her mouth open, "Little Bell, come and change the old lady's clothes. Be gentle and help her stand up slowly."
She turned her head to look at the little bell beside her, opened her mouth and gave some instructions.
Xiao Lingdang bowed and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I understand."
"Well, okay, the old lady will leave it to you now."
When Mrs. Xiao heard the maid's answer, she turned around and left the old lady's room with peace of mind.
"mother."
"aunt."
"Xinlan, Er, I hope you come back safely."
Mrs. Xiao walked to the corridor, and Xiao Yihe and Wang Xinlan Wujing also came there, and they met in the corridor.
"Aunt, it's Lan'er who is unfilial and makes you worry." Wang Xinlan walked up to Mrs. Xiao, knelt down, and held back her tears.
Seeing this, Madam Xiao quickly reached out her hand and tried to help Wang Xinlan up. "Xinlan, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Auntie knows that you are doing this for your cousin. We don't blame you."
"Cousin, please get up quickly. Your mother is not happy about it."
Xiao Yihe followed Mrs. Xiao to persuade Wang Xinlan.
"You look so exhausted. You are not allowed to go see grandma like this."
"Madame Sun, please take my cousin back to her room to wash up." Madam Xiao looked at the dowry nanny behind her and said to her.
Nanny Sun nodded and replied, "Yes, ma'am."
"Mother, let me support you." Xiao Yihe walked to Mrs. Xiao's side and raised his hand to support hers.
Madam Xiao did not refuse. She raised her hand and gently patted the back of Xiao Yi'er's hand, "Ye'er, why didn't you bring the girl you mentioned in your previous letter home to show your parents?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yiyi paused for a moment, then said, "Mom, you and Dad should not ask about this matter."
"What's wrong?" Madam Xiao frowned. "Are you worried that your parents won't agree, or is it just your own wishful thinking, and the girl doesn't fancy you at all?"
