Xie Yuancheng still didn't believe it. He kept pestering me to ask when it would be done so that he could clear his parents' name.
I had no idea about any of this, and looked at my mother with a pleading expression.
“Yuancheng~ Ying’er dreamed about it last night. Maybe she’ll dream about her in-laws someday.”
“That’s true.” Xie Yuancheng’s eyes were shining as he looked at me: “I’m going to sleep next to Ying’er from now on, just in case you talk in your sleep.”
"We sleep together every night, stop being silly," Xie Yuancheng said with a chuckle. I wanted to cover my face.
The father was more rational: "In that case, I'll consult some sorcerers these next few days, hoping that Ying'er will dream about it often in the future, so that every step we take will be much easier."
"Father, you really are treating me like a prophet."
Although I really want to help, that's just a dream, something I can't control.
Since Xie Yuancheng was rarely at home, I took Yu'er and went to bother him, asking him to take my good son out for a walk.
"Daddy~" Yu'er started to act coquettishly towards Xie Yuancheng, hugging his leg tightly and refusing to let go. I laughed loudly beside her.
"Yu'er, come here, let Daddy hold you." Xie Yuancheng carried Yu'er to the courtyard. I thought he was going to take Yu'er out of the manor. With him taking care of Yu'er, no one would dare to cause trouble.
I heard them laughing happily outside, so I went inside with my mother to embroider. When I was pregnant, I couldn't touch too many things, so my mother taught me how to embroider.
Now I can embroider cranes, peonies, and some other common flowers to make small pillows for Yu'er.
He's just like me when I was a kid. He can hug a small pillow for months and won't let anyone else touch it. He'll even throw a tantrum if you try to wash him.
They had no choice but to make a better-looking and prettier pillow for him to use. Su Ling and Xi Zhi are still small and their bodies are still soft, so their parents stayed for a long time before Xie Yuancheng decided to wait until they were five or six months old before going back.
Linyang had been deserted for a long time, and he was somewhat worried. Meng Anshi couldn't keep up the act for too long; if he were discovered, things would get complicated.
Mother is best at embroidering phoenixes, and she is now making little clothes for Su Ling and Xi Zhi, saying that children grow up very quickly in a year, so she needs to prepare more.
"Mother, they have enough clothes. You keep the embroidery patterns and make other things for Father and yourself."
“There are plenty in the manor. You’re just starting out and you’re not proficient in anything yet, so I’ll prepare everything for them myself.”
"Once they call for help, they will definitely bring it to you so you can see it."
I'm more worried about Yu'er, this little guy, who keeps coming to my door and sometimes even sleeping in my room. Seeing him like this, I feel increasingly reluctant to leave him.
I don't know when this will end. Even a grand mansion can't compare to a family reunion.
If I go to Linyang, it will take at least half a month to get there, and if the journey is slow, it will definitely take a month. If there were fast transportation options here, I wouldn't be so worried.
Now I always find myself playing around with Yu'er whenever I have free time, and seeing his bright smile always makes me feel guilty towards him.
"Mother~" Yu'er suddenly ran in without anyone noticing.
Luckily, I reacted quickly and put the scissors and needle and thread in a high place. He was just curious and wanted to reach for them, but thankfully he was only a little over a year old and his small body couldn't reach them.
"Waaah!" That's how he is; he wails when he can't get what he wants.
I held him in my arms and pinched his soft little face until he stopped crying. When he saw Su Ling open her eyes, he reached out to tease her: "Little sister~"
"Every day it's my little sister, I don't want my little brother anymore."
Yu'er shook his head twice, still only wanting Su Ling. I told him to get down and go play with Su Ling.
The mother laughed from the side, "Yu'er liked his little sister when he was little, he'll be fine now that he's older."
I looked at Xizhi's cradle, the poor little son, while the eldest son didn't even glance at him.
I don't know what Yu'er said to Su Ling, but he was talking to Su Ling from the side, making "ah ah ah" sounds, and Su Ling actually responded with her own babbling.
The two little ones' conversation made everyone in the room laugh.
"Haha~" Yu'er laughed to himself. He was the little prodigy who could make himself laugh no matter what.
I was afraid he would fall into Su Ling's cradle if he got too excited, so I picked him up and let him see the beauty his mother had cultivated.
He pointed at it with his little finger, then looked up at us and smiled: "Liangliang~ Little sister~"
"Yu'er, this is a phoenix, not a little sister~"
"Little sister~ hee hee!" He struggled to run over when he saw his father standing outside.
"Hug me~"
Yu'er can now recognize people, and he wants to be carried whenever he sees someone he knows. Before he could walk, he would walk by holding onto the bed, but now that he can walk, he wants to be carried whenever he sees someone.
"My dear grandson~" Dad had been fighting for many years and was now retired at home, holding Yu'er with great ease.
I don't know how he managed to coax his father. He couldn't even speak clearly, yet he managed to make his father so happy that he would run away and disappear without a trace. Sometimes, his father would have to search for him for a while in the mansion.
Luckily, he knew he couldn't go into the water, otherwise he would have jumped into the lotus pond without even realizing it. He was so small that he would have been lucky to even struggle in the water.
Besides, he's too young. I'm worried that before we even find out, he'll be off having tea with the Water King.
We were listening to Yu'er talk like a baby when the steward came in and said that the Second Prince had come to visit. The father picked up Yu'er and handed him to the mother, and then left with the steward.
"Mother, does the Second Prince have any connection with Father?"
Mother patted Yu'er's back. As soon as Father left, he became unruly and started throwing a tantrum: "No, the Second Prince has never come to the mansion. It's strange, why is he here today?"
"Could it be because of Caiwei?"
"Even if it's for Caiwei, there has to be a reason. Yu'er, Grandma will give you something good to eat, don't cry."
Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Yu'er stopped moving and clung to her mother's neck.
"Such a little foodie, he doesn't fuss at all when he hears about delicious food." I touched his chubby little legs. "Yu'er has gotten so fat."
The little guy kicked his legs, refusing to let me pinch him, but I insisted on pinching him anyway, and he laughed and rolled around in his mother's arms.
Anxiang brought in the shortbread and milk tea. Yu'er smelled the aroma and stared at her mother, as if to say, "I want to eat!"
Mother is incredibly patient, feeding Yu'er little by little. The little bean isn't picky about food anymore and likes to eat everything. As a result, his chubby legs are getting fatter and fatter, and since he runs less now, the fat has all gone to his belly.
It was so funny when Yu'er was drinking from the milk cup. He drank it little by little, insisting on holding the big cup. His little mouth moved like he was drinking milk, and I was worried he would choke.
Even when I picked up the cup, he still wouldn't let go. I told him that if he didn't let go, I wouldn't let him drink anymore, and only then did he slowly let go.
"Yu'er, this is a cup, not a pacifier. You're not allowed to suck on it anymore!"
Yu'er turned to her mother's arms and ignored me!
"He's still young, we'll teach him little by little, there's no rush." His mother always spoiled him and spoke up for the little guy.
