Xu Wen, who met Li Yuxin and her group at the dock, took Sheng Hong and Sheng Yun's hands and said with a smile, "Look, the two flower buds I've been waiting for are here."
Leading the two girls, Xu Wen looked at Sheng Wei and said, "Brother Wei has grown taller, but Brother Shu is actually a head shorter than you."
Sheng Wei respectfully greeted Xu Wen. Sheng Shu, who was standing nearby, also respectfully greeted Li Yuxin and the others. After greeting, he said to Sheng Wei, "Brother, we live in the same courtyard. I'll introduce my friends to you later."
The two cousins began to talk, walking towards the horses as they talked.
Xu Wen led the women toward the carriage and asked Li Yuxin as they walked, "Sister-in-law, was the boat ride smooth this time?"
Li Yuxin, who was with her, smiled and said, "It went smoothly. The journey was smooth. I also want to thank my sister-in-law for inviting me. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to enter the capital in my lifetime."
Li Yuxin, who was holding Hong'er and Yun'er's hands, smiled and said, "That's great. Why don't you stay this time? I'll find husbands for the two girls in the capital, and you can live with me from now on."
Li Yuxin, who was covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing, said angrily, "You are dreaming. You don't even want to leave a daughter to me. You want to coax her to the capital."
Hearing this, Xu Wen looked at Sheng Hong, who was blushing and looking down, and said, "Oh, I knew you wouldn't want to leave." She tilted her head and said, "Madame Lin has taught the two girls well. They are very well-mannered and well-mannered. Would you be willing to let such good girls go back to Youyang instead of staying in the capital?"
Li Yuxin, who had boarded the carriage, hugged Sheng Hong and said, "My Hong'er naturally hopes for everything to happen to her. If she finds a good match, I, I can only..."
As Li Yuxin spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, startling Xu Wen and her two daughters. Xu Wen quickly apologized softly, "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. It's all my fault for talking too much."
Sheng Yun stood up and threw herself on Li Yuxin. She wrinkled her nose and started crying, saying, "Mom, I will never marry and will stay with you forever."
The bitterness in Li Yuxin's heart and the pain of her past life vanished at her little daughter's cry. Looking down at Sheng Hong, who was silently watching her with tears streaming down her face, Li Yuxin smiled and said, "Mother is happy. It's been so hard to come to the capital from such a long journey, and I'm so happy I'm crying."
After saying that, Li Yuxin took out a handkerchief to wipe Sheng Yun's tears. Xu Wen was already wiping Sheng Hong's tears. Li Yuxin looked at Xu Wen's actions and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I lost control of myself for a moment. It's my fault."
Xu Wen, who was hugging Sheng Hong, couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Hong is still young, and you are so sad now. What will happen in a few years?"
Li Yuxin, feeling embarrassed by the teasing, hugged Sheng Yun and said in silence for a moment, "I don't know what to do."
Sheng Hong, who had been silent the whole time, whispered, "Mother, I will always be by your side. Don't be sad."
Li Yuxin shook her head and said, "Hong'er, you must marry a good husband and have children, then I will have no regrets in this life. If Hong'er has a daughter in the future, I will take good care of her." This was the only regret of Li Yuxin, who was the eldest lady of the Sheng family in her previous life.
With tears welling up in her eyelashes, Sheng Hong nodded firmly, and then said with red eyes: "Mother, I will listen to you, don't worry."
Afterward, Xu Wen changed the subject and talked about Xu Lin from Jinling. Li Yuxin had already received a letter stating that the misunderstanding between Xu Wen and the Yongyi Marquis's residence had been resolved. Now, hearing Xu Wen's talk about the visitor from her mother's family again, she couldn't help but feel happy for Xu Wen, as if the family had finally reconciled after more than a decade.
I remember the last time Xu Wen recovered from her illness, she sat in the yard and stared blankly in the direction of Jinling. It must be so hard not to see your family for more than ten years, even though you are so close.
