Yueyue escorted Marquis Anping and his wife back to the Marquis' Mansion safely. She was still a little surprised to see how nice the place they lived in was.
"Is this your home?" Yueyue was worried that she had sent them to the wrong place.
"Yes, this is our home. Yueyue, do you want to go in and see if you like it?" Marquis Anping asked cautiously.
"It may not be possible today. Yueyue has to go back home. Senior sister and niece will miss Yueyue." Although the little girl wanted to go in, she was afraid that her senior sister would be waiting anxiously.
"Then why don't you come back when you are free? You are always welcome here." Seeing that the little girl was indeed a little anxious, Marquis Anping had to give up the idea of bringing Yueyue home today.
As soon as Marquis Anping and his wife got off the carriage, Shu Yan came to greet them. He had been waiting for his uncle and aunt since morning.
"Uncle, Aunt, Yan'er has been waiting for you all morning. According to the scheduled time, we should have arrived this morning, but something unexpected happened on the way."
Shu Yan was really anxious. He really cared about Marquis Anping and his wife. He had been waiting for a long time but no one showed up. He was about to take people to check outside the city, worried that something had happened to Marquis Anping and his wife.
"Our carriage broke down, and we happened to meet Master Rong and his son, who took us back. That's why we returned home a little late, and Yan'er was worried."
Marquis Anping also truly loved Shu Yan. Seeing that he was in a hurry to go out, he thought that he was going to look for him and his wife.
"Aunt!" Shu Yan saw that Madam Hou's eyes were red. Although she had been recuperating for the past few years, she was still not as good as before because she missed her elder brother Shu Shi.
"Okay, you're so grown up now, why are you still like a kid!" Seeing Shu Yan's red eyes, the Marquis's wife hurried to comfort him. She said that her nephew had nothing to say about her and the Marquis, and was as filial to his parents as their own, except that he loved to cry.
Yueyue felt Shu Yan's voice sounded familiar to her in the carriage, so she lifted the curtain and looked out, and happened to meet Shu Yan's eyes.
"Yueyue, why are you in the carriage?" Shu Yan was really shocked why his uncle and aunt were in the same carriage with their little niece.
Yueyue thought Shu Yan was a little silly, so she jumped off the carriage and said to Shu Yan, "This is my grandpa and uncle's carriage, why can't I be on it?"
Shu Yan was even more confused after hearing this. Who were his grandpa and uncle? Seeing that Shu Yan hadn't reacted yet, Yueyue said unhappily, "The Rong family."
Shu Yan then realized that the grandfather Yueyue was talking about was Mousse's father-in-law, the Rong family, the richest family in Beijing.
"I just didn't think about it for the moment. Yueyue, don't be angry with your uncle." Shu Yan felt a little embarrassed, but he was more afraid that Yueyue would blame him.
Shu Yan decided to take stock of Yueyue's relatives as soon as he got back, so that he wouldn't forget them next time and make his niece unhappy. After all, his niece had rolled her eyes at him just now.
"Yueyue, do you want to go in and have some snacks before you leave? Your aunt made a lot of pastries today. They are not available in any shops in Beijing. They are super delicious."
Shu Yan's wife Zhang Xu had indeed had a lot of cakes made early in the morning, all of which were what the Marquis and his wife liked.
Yueyue started to feel worried when she heard about the delicious pastries, especially since they were not available in the store, which made her even more tempted.
After hesitating for a while, Yueyue decided to go in and try it to see if it was delicious. If it was, she would bring some back for her senior sister to try.
"Okay then, Yueyue will go in and try it. If it doesn't taste good, Yueyue will never talk to you again." The little girl felt a little awkward when she said these words.
"Hey, it's guaranteed to be delicious. Your aunt is the best at making pastries." Shu Yan was very happy when he heard Yueyue was willing to go in.
Marquis Anping and his wife did not expect that delicious pastries could keep their granddaughter. Fearing that Yueyue would regret it, the three of them quickly invited her in.
Not long after entering the mansion, he ran into Zhang Xu, the second wife of the Shu family, who came rushing over. Zhang was very happy to see that her husband had finally met up with his uncle and aunt. Then, when she saw Yueyue surrounded by several people, she was so shocked that she forgot to greet him.
The marquis's wife was not angry at all. Her niece-in-law was gentle and virtuous. She was just stunned by her granddaughter's beauty.
"Xu'er, this is Yueyue. She came to your house today specifically to try the cakes you made." The old lady did not directly state Yueyue's identity, but Zhang Xu already had a guess in his mind.
"Uncle, aunt, please forgive me for being rude just now. I made a lot of cakes today. It's rare that Miss Yueyue likes them. Come with me."
Although Zhang Xu was very surprised, he followed the Marquis's instructions and led everyone to the front hall first, then ordered his maid to go to the kitchen to bring cakes.
Shu Yan cast grateful glances at his wife many times, and told her with his eyes that he would explain to her later.
Yueyue quickly started eating the pastries. Just as Shu Yan said, some of the pastries could not be bought in shops on the street. Yueyue liked them very much.
"Aunt, can Yueyue take some back? Yueyue wants to give some to senior sister, third uncle, and eldest brother to try." Usually, they would cooperate with Yueyue to eat cakes, so every time Yueyue ate delicious cakes, she would save some for them.
"Of course, little aunt will install it for you right away." The word "little aunt" made Zhang Xu react instantly. This should be his eldest brother's daughter. No wonder they look so similar. He didn't expect that his uncle and aunt have already found his eldest brother's daughter. It's great.
Zhang Xu was so excited that she didn't know which foot to take first when going out. The little girl was so soft and sweet, so adorable. No wonder her husband asked her to clean up the yard, it turned out that he was preparing it for his little niece.
Zhang Xu, who was always gentle, decided to settle the score with her husband in the evening. She wondered why her niece had found out beforehand so that she could be prepared.
So when Yueyue left the mansion with the cakes, Zhang Xu was confused and asked anxiously, "Husband, why doesn't Yueyue live in the mansion? I have cleaned up the yard. If you don't like it, I will clean it up."
"Madam, Yueyue doesn't know that the Marquis' Mansion is her home yet. She only knows that her eldest brother is her father, and she doesn't know that there are so many family members."
Seeing his wife anxious and self-blaming, Shu Yan explained to her.
"So, Yueyue can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion yet, right?" Zhang Xu asked sadly.
"Madam, this matter cannot be rushed. Madam Wen San said that Yueyue was also injured at the time. She is more naive than other children and cannot be subjected to too much stimulation."
Shu Yan said this not only to his own wife, but also to Marquis Anping and his wife. Everything had to wait until his eldest brother woke up before they could make a long-term plan.
"Now that you know the whole story, tell us in detail."
Marquis Anping was somewhat glad that he and his wife did not directly recognize Yueyue today. Now he wanted to know the details of the matter.
Then Shu Yan told a few people what he knew. They were all sighing. Fortunately, the person was found and everything would be fine.
