The little girl, a little over a year old, was fair and cute. She looked at Meng Huaiyu curiously and suddenly called out, "Brother!"
Qu was startled. Her husband was an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and her father-in-law was a third-rank official in the imperial court. They were an insignificant family in the capital, but the woman sitting opposite was the daughter of the prime minister and the mistress of a marquis's mansion... They were not worthy of her.
Qu hurriedly apologized, but Xihe waved her hand and said she didn't care, then smiled and invited her and her daughter to have fun together.
Qu was reluctant to refuse, but she was nervous and acted very cautiously.
Xihe saw it clearly, but didn't show it, leisurely toying with the two little kids. The original owner was also a celebrity in the capital. Some ladies looked down on her, while others didn't dare to offend her and chose to stay away from her. Qu was the latter.
There were two children playing in the middle, so the group didn't feel awkward.
But after walking for a while, Qu's face turned pale with fatigue and her whole body was covered with sweat.
Xihe frowned as she watched. Qu was the heroine's biological mother. In the plot, she passed away within two years. It was said that she was in poor health, but now it seems that she had been ill for a long time.
"Help your wife sit down quickly, Xiaodie, and call a doctor." Xihe ordered.
Qu wanted to refuse, but she felt dizzy and too tired to speak, so she could only let Xihe arrange it.
The doctor came hurriedly, took the pulse, and said, "You are weak, take good care of yourself." Then he prescribed a tonic that was no different from the one in Xie's house.
Qu calmed down and said softly, "Thank you, sister, for your concern. This is an old problem of mine."
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation just now, and because they were of similar age, they called each other sisters.
Xihe said, "Sister, please go back and have a good rest. I will visit you again tomorrow." Then she watched the group return to the yard.
After everyone from the Xie Mansion left, Xihe saw Meng Huaiyu still staring at the intersection, and her heart suddenly jumped. Could it be that this little guy is already obsessed with the heroine at such a young age?
"Does Huaiyu like the little sister just now?"
Xihe looked at the child with a smile.
Meng Huaiyu blinked his eyes: "My sister is very well behaved."
Xihe nodded: "I'm going to play with my little sister tomorrow, do you want to go?"
Meng Huaiyu nodded immediately.
Xihe was speechless for a moment. Is he really thinking about this?
At noon, after lunch, Meng Yuchuan followed Xihe into the bedroom, and Xihe began to inquire about the Xie family.
When Meng Yuchuan asked her why, she said she met him while taking a walk in the morning.
"Master Xie is kind and generous, and he's not stingy with worldly things. Young Master Xie has many friends and often drinks and chats with them. Madam Xie comes from the countryside and has a straightforward character." After a pause, "Since Madam Xie is not feeling well, please don't bother her in the future."
Xihe tilted his head, looking confused.
Meng Yuchuan, are you serious?
If she hadn't read the plot, she would have believed that Meng Yuchuan was praising someone.
He says he has a kind nature and is generous with worldly things, but in fact he is just stupid and doesn't care about anything. Mr. Xie has been struggling for most of his life to get to this position.
The heroine's father is even more outrageous. He hangs out with his bad friends all day, drinks until dawn, and even stays in a brothel.
The heroine's grandmother was born in the countryside and didn't have the temperament of an old lady. She always bullied her daughter-in-law. After the heroine was reborn, she often went against her... Meng Yuchuan meant for her to have less dealings with them in the future.
Xihe deliberately said: "Huaiyu said he likes the little sister of the Xie family very much."
If your son insists on getting close to you, let’s see what you’re going to do.
Meng Yuchuan smiled faintly: "It's okay, children have short memories. As long as no one mentions it in front of them, they will soon be distracted by other things."
Xihe shrugged and said, okay.
Suddenly, I remembered what he promised yesterday.
"Is your kite ready?"
"No."
Without waiting for Xihe to glare, he smiled and invited, "Why don't you accompany me, my lady?"
Xihe fell on the bed and rolled into the quilt: "Do your own thing, you go ahead and do your thing, I'm going to take a nap." It's a nice day, why not sleep?
I closed my eyes and fell asleep in a short while.
Meng Yuchuan: "..."
After a while, he chuckled and fell into a good sleep.
Xihe slept for half an hour and when she woke up she found Meng Yuchuan making a kite with a little baby sitting next to him.
Meng Huaiyu turned around and saw her. He stood up excitedly and pointed at the kite: "Eagle!"
Xihe walked over and took his stool with malicious intentions. The little guy's eyes immediately widened. Xihe smiled and took him into his arms. The little guy's face turned red instantly.
Meng Yuchuan saw it, smiled, and lowered his head to continue making the kite.
He is very skillful and the kites he makes are big and sturdy. The eagles he draws are lifelike and majestic.
Meng Huaiyu was overjoyed and looked at his father with admiration.
Taking the eagle, the three of them moved to the horse farm and sent the eagle high into the sky against the wind. The children's cheerful laughter echoed throughout the courtyard, but some people felt very uncomfortable.
Xihe turned her head inadvertently and met the nanny's complicated eyes.
The wet nurse lowered her head in panic.
Xihe looked away indifferently.
For several days in a row, the three of them had fun all over the villa.
Meng Huaiyu is no longer afraid of his father now, and his personality has changed a lot. He laughs wildly and runs very fast.
That day, early in the morning, Xihe had just opened the door when the little one sitting in front of the door immediately got up with his little butt sticking out, and said in surprise, "Mom, you're up?"
Xihe: “…”
On the horror of being called a mother by a little rebel.
When she heard the little guy shouting for the first time, she was very surprised, but at that time the little guy blurted out the words and she was very shy after shouting. In comparison, she calmed down.
Isn't it just calling mom?
"Well, shall we go have breakfast?"
"good!"
The little guy said in a crisp voice.
Xihe walked in front, and the little guy followed behind, pulling her skirt and jumping.
Meng Yuchuan always got up early and was already waiting in the flower hall. They didn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. After chatting and laughing while finishing their meal, the three of them strolled up the back mountain.
At first, the three of them walked separately, but later Meng Huaiyu couldn't walk anymore, so Meng Yuchuan carried him on his back.
The little guy was carried on his father's back for the first time. His face turned red with excitement and he kept chattering, calling him "mommy" and "daddy".
After climbing to the top of the mountain and standing beside the small pavilion, we looked out at the beautiful scenery. Everyone couldn't help but smile.
The scenery on the mountain was beautiful, so Xihe planned to have a barbecue. Fortunately, he had servants with him, so everything was convenient.
"Mom, eat!"
The child held up the bamboo stick, his eyes sparkling.
Xihe took it and took a bite: "Delicious!" The child was immediately satisfied.
Suddenly, a bamboo stick was handed over from the side. Xihe turned around and met Meng Yuchuan's smiling eyes: "My wife, try my husband's cooking."
Xihe took a look at the roasted pork belly that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and took it.
"How does it taste?" the man asked with a smile.
Xihe nodded: "Not bad."
Meng Yuchuan pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
Xihe widened his eyes.
Meng Yuchuan smiled and said, "It's clean."
Xihe: “…”
At this moment, Meng Huaiyu came over with his little chin raised and said eagerly, "Daddy, Chen'er is dirty too." Meng Yuchuan smiled and wiped it for him.
