We didn't shop much afterwards, just bought some small things and went back home. As soon as I got inside, I kept pestering Xie Yuancheng to ask about Caiwei.
"Ying'er, you always care so much about other people's affairs."
"How can I not be heartbroken? You're going to cooperate with that fierce second prince who beats his wife. What if you get corrupted?"
I looked at him pitifully, and I knew Xie Yuancheng was afraid of me like this, so he confessed directly.
"Although I don't know if the Second Prince is putting on an act, it's true that Caiwei really likes him. She even gave up her princess status so that I could give my sister a grand wedding."
"Then promise you won't be like him. If you dare to hit me again, I will..."
"Ying'er." Xie Yuancheng picked me up and moved me to the bedside. "Your little head is full of nonsense. I love you so much, how could I bear to do that? Besides, aren't you the one who cheats on me the most? I just want to kiss you a few times and I get kicked out."
"They didn't kick you, it's just that you're too weak."
"What did you say!"
"You're wrong, you were the one who let me win."
Xie Yuancheng stared at me with his big eyes, a half-smile on his face. I felt a chill run down my spine. Luckily, my mother knocked on the door from outside, and I escaped unscathed.
"Mother." Taking advantage of Xie Yuancheng's distraction, I hurriedly opened the door and went out: "Why did you come in person?"
"You two should be careful. It's the seventh day since the death of the deceased, so don't make too much noise."
"Yes, Yuancheng and I survived the ordeal and can't live without each other. Mother, please bear with us a little more."
I'm so good to Xie Yuancheng, even in something like this I still remember to speak well of him.
"It's rare that you would think of him."
“Every day I think about how I haven’t seen my mother and father. They always say that I did something to betray Yuancheng.”
"Hmph, do you think I don't know what you're up to? Come with me to the back door, someone's looking for us."
"Who?" I was thinking of the Prime Minister. Could it be that something happened that he came to the Ji residence?
"You'll find out when you get there. They said they were Yuan Cheng's subordinates, but I was worried they'd be seen, so I arranged for them to be near the back door."
Xie Yuancheng also came out of the house: "Thank you, Mother-in-law. Ying'er, you're here."
"No, if you don't take me with you, you'll regret it."
“Okay, let’s go together.” Xie Yuancheng laughed heartily from the side.
My mother watched us leave from behind. It was just going to the back door, why did she look at us like that?
After I told Xie Yuancheng, he actually said that his mother was worried that something else might happen to the two of us. After all, there aren't many people in this world who can jump off a cliff and still survive.
"It's all your fault, making me worry. Yu'er isn't by my side either, and Mother looks worried too."
"This is all my fault. Ying'er, stop reading and let's go to the back door."
Xie Yuancheng pulled me along, he was nervous inside but didn't show it, he was really cunning.
When we reached the back door, Xie Yuancheng took a breath, and I chuckled to myself, "Even my lord gets nervous sometimes, it's so rare. If only we had a cell phone, we could have filmed it."
"Ying'er~"
"Hurry up and open the door, what are you standing there for?"
Xie Yuancheng opened the door; a car was parked outside. Only my mother and I knew about this back gate of the Ji residence; even my father had to search for it for ages. The alley where it was located was very secluded; it would have been impossible to find unless someone was following us.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" It was actually Lin Chao and An Xiang.
"Are you all alright?" I'm so happy to see familiar faces as soon as I get back.
"Madam, we are all fine. We met a girl on the road and took pity on her. Anxiang knew her, so we rescued her together."
I glanced at Xie Yuancheng, and only after he agreed did I get into the car with Anxiang: "My precious son!"
They're so kind of them to bring Yu'er back to me. Xie Yuancheng heard the voice and hurriedly got into the car, saying, "It really is my son."
He also said I was effeminate, but he was the same way. When he saw Yu'er, he immediately hugged her and wouldn't let me touch her.
Anxiang smiled and said, "I knew that the Marquis and his wife were waiting for the young master, and the eldest young lady was going to have to endure a bumpy journey because of her pregnancy. After receiving the letter from the Prime Minister, she asked us to bring the young master with us."
"Sister is so kind, and so are you. My precious son, I've been thinking about you all for so long."
I was afraid of letting something slip, so Xie Yuancheng hugged me a couple of times before finally letting me hold him. Yu'er grinned at me, and I became even more obedient.
"My lord, please come into the manor quickly. Anxiang and I are leaving and will be going to Yingxian Tower for the time being."
Xie Yuancheng helped me out of the car, and Lin Chao then jumped onto the car floor. I remembered that they said they had rescued a girl.
"Didn't you rescue a girl? Where is she?"
Xie Yuancheng gave me a hostile look. I held Yu'er in my arms and showed her to him; his eyes were full of anger.
Anxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. She is Wan'er. We heard that the Prince Consort had an accident outside the city and we don't know how he got out of the palace. We found her on the road. We were starving at the time, and she is currently staying at Yingxian Tower. We borrowed this carriage from Sister Ling and rushed to bring the young master here."
Poor Wan'er, she left the palace for me, and now she's being hated by Xie Yuancheng. I'm caught in the middle.
"Then you should take good care of her. This girl is a very nice person, but she tends to overthink things." Xie Yuancheng's eyes darkened even more, and he snatched Yu'er away from her.
My man is easy to please, and Wan'er is loyal and devoted, so I can't keep it from her any longer: "Anxiang, if Wan'er asks, just tell her briefly that Yuancheng and I are together."
"good."
As soon as they left, Xie Yuancheng lured me inside: "What a devoted prince consort, he's even arranged for a concubine."
Yu'er laughed in his arms, pinching my index finger: "Yuancheng, she is a young lady, and she came out for me. Although I don't know what method she used, she is in trouble now. As a kind-hearted marquis, how could you not help her?"
"snort!"
He actually glared at me, then picked up Yu'er and left, saying, "Yuancheng, Chengcheng, wait for me."
When I arrived at my place, my father and mother were comforting Yu'er.
"I've finally seen my grandson. I thought about him every day when I was in Sizhou City. I can't believe he's grown up so much."
“Master, you didn’t see how well-behaved and adorable Yu’er is when he rolls over. I love him so much every night.”
"Come here, let me give you a hug."
Xie Yuancheng laughed from the side. His father and mother could actually talk to Yu'er. My precious son, I hadn't even had a chance to hold him properly before he was taken away again.
"Ying'er, why are you so slow? You said you were looking for something fun for Yu'er, but you're only just arriving now."
Xie Yuancheng gently pulled me inside, but I was sweating profusely. What was he planning to do now?
"Ying'er, you really are a mother. Your son is the most important thing. What other toys are there? They're not as important as you talking to him in person, are they, Yu'er?"
The mother was teasing Yu'er, and the little boy actually started babbling to his grandmother and even laughed out loud.
