I was getting annoyed by Yu'er's pettiness, but Xizhi was still happy. He tried to grab Yu'er's hand, but Yu'er took it away.
"Yu'er, give your little brother some."
Yu'er looked at me, then ran to her mother's arms: "Grandma~"
He gets upset every time he hears Xizhi's name. I don't know if he inherited this trait from Xie Yuancheng. When I talked to him about it, he said that he didn't have a younger brother when he was a child, so how could he know to love his younger brother?
What a pair of stingy people, father and son!
Yu'er ate a little and then started clamoring to finish the wooden cart. Anxiang moved the wooden cart over and took him to play in the yard.
"Mother~ I'm all better now, I'll take Xizhi and Suling back to take care of them."
"Let's wait a couple of days." The mother looked a little worried. "You too, what if you bump into something again? You'll hurt yourself and the child."
"Okay, then I'll stay in my mother's room with my two adorable little darlings."
Xi Zhi smiles at everyone she sees now, but they are still young, so they are mostly asleep. Yu'er always tries to wake Su Ling up, and sometimes gets sad when Su Ling ignores her.
But when Xizhi smiled at him, he completely ignored her. I told him several times, but Yu'er always changed the subject.
Yu'er seems to have inherited Xie Yuancheng's true teachings; she can distinguish everything very clearly, except that she dislikes children who are as pink and tender as him.
When Xie Yuancheng came back in the evening, he pulled me aside and asked me about what happened today. I told him everything about my dream last night and what happened today, but he still didn't believe me. I said to him, "If you don't believe me, then so be it."
"Ying'er, is it your master who's here to see you?"
"No way!" I said, opening one eye. "He's too busy to be here. He's probably wandering around in some other time and space right now. I really just dreamt about it. I'll go check the door tomorrow. If a car really comes, I'll be a prophet!"
Xie Yuancheng touched my face: "Prophet? You're the one who'll take a liking to someone. Wake up, I miss you."
"No, I have to get up early tomorrow."
"I'm here for you, I can make you sleep in."
Xie Yuancheng has so much energy; he goes out to run errands during the day and rushes back at night. Although Dad is back tonight too, I felt sorry for Xie Yuancheng because I saw that he clearly hadn't slept well.
I woke up just as dawn broke. Xie Yuancheng even said he would wake me up, since he himself was sleeping like a log.
I went out for a petal bath. I remember seeing something in 2020 that showed how quickly women who gave birth at a young age recover their figures. Looking at my white belly, I was relieved that there were no visible scars.
There were no signs of aging on my body; I looked exactly the same as when I was eighteen. I happily sank into the bathtub. The water had been scented, so it smelled wonderful.
I hadn't had my fill of soaking in the water when Xie Yuancheng came and carried me back. It's amazing how strong he is.
"Yuancheng~ why don't you go take a soak? You're covered in sweat."
I found it strange. He had a sweaty smell, but that subtle fragrance was always there. I have no idea what he ate when he was a child.
"Even if he smells sweaty, he's still your man. Don't you feel cold this early in the morning? Let me help you get dressed."
He was incredibly fast. As I tied the sash, I asked him, "You must have been a tailor before, otherwise how could you be so fast? You put my clothes on in just a few seconds."
"That's because I'm highly capable; someone like you with only a smattering of knowledge would have no idea."
That's just how he is. Once we get to know each other, he'll show off everything to me, just like a child.
I timed it perfectly, put on my veil, and ran to the door. Before I even arrived, Xie Yuancheng flew right in front of me.
"You're so annoying! You could have been so fast, but you didn't tell me." Then I realized something was off: "Why didn't you go out today?"
"Of course, I'm here to accompany my wife to see your prophecy."
Xie Yuancheng pulled me toward the door. We had just arrived at the door and had only stood there for a short while when we heard a cry of surprise from not far away. Soon, a horse came rushing over.
There was blood on the horse's hooves; it must have been from a carriage hitting someone and then the person being trampled by the horse.
Xie Yuancheng was about to step forward to stop me, but I quickly grabbed his hand to stop him. In my dream, I saw him going to save my mother, so my left hand has always been half-crippled.
Mother is alright now; the carriage just crashed into the wall and stopped on its own.
Xie Yuancheng couldn't move his hand. "Ying'er, if we don't stop it, it will hit people."
"It has already crashed, it will stop soon."
As the carriage passed the gate of the mansion, a piercing whistle rang out, and the carriage stopped, the horse's face glowing red.
This must be a wild horse that has only recently been tamed, so it is very wild. It has stopped now, and its hooves are still pawing at the ground.
The horse trainer ran over quickly and took the reins of the wild horse: "You've been frightened."
He smiled obsequiously and led the wild horse away, leaving Xie Yuancheng completely stunned by the scene before him.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard my father and mother's voices behind me.
"Master, Ying'er mentioned this matter before, so it seems to be true?"
"This wild horse is a fine breed and very difficult to tame. The person who trained it will probably have to pay a large sum of money."
"Between human life and money, of course human life is more important." I let go of Xie Yuancheng and walked to my mother's side: "Mother, if you had gone out today, you would have been the one who bumped into me just now."
Mother clutched her chest and nodded: "Luckily, Ying'er had the foresight. Let's go inside and talk."
Seeing Xie Yuancheng still watching outside, I quickly pulled him inside. Xie Yuancheng asked me, "What's going on?"
“I’ve already told you, but you don’t believe me.”
"Then dream about it and see when we can get everything sorted out?"
I flicked his forehead: "You're just being delusional. This is a gift from heaven, not something I can control. It's just that after dreaming about it, I think of another way, and then I dream about the process again at night, so I can avoid it."
Mother turned around and said, "So, all of this was Ying'er's dream?"
"Yes, it sounds a bit far-fetched, so I only dared to tell my mother after confirming it today."
"That's true, but it's really unbelievable that someone can foresee things in their dreams."
There are many other things that happened in 2020, including our fall off a cliff and being saved by the shopkeeper.
That was an abyss; jumping in would have meant certain death. How did the innkeeper manage to save us and take us to 2020? Actually, we were recovering while he did simple chores for him.
Most importantly, we were also greatly impressed. Although the things Xie Yuancheng did at the Ji residence were not as advanced as those in 2020, they were much more convenient.
He said he also gave the blueprints to Meng Anshi to start building in his mansion in Linyang. It's halfway done now, and because it's a full-scale project, it's even better than here. It makes me want to go back and see it.
My father walked ahead, leading us into the hall, and asked me to recount the whole story of my dream.
