Chapter 81 Acquaintance
The little boy looked about two or three years old. He was not very strong, but his facial features were very good.
At this time, his eyes were red with two tears in them, and he looked so adorable no matter how you looked at him.
Xu Shuyao patted his back again and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
The little guy nodded shyly and called softly, "Sister!"
Xu Shuyao smiled and was about to let him go, but she saw that he was still clinging to her with both hands and refused to let go.
She looked around somewhat embarrassedly and saw that there were already quite a few people gathered around them.
In addition to the women from the Duke's Mansion, there were also Wang Zhujun, Zhou who came to propose to my third cousin last time, Wang Shaowei, the second son of the Wang family, and several cousins from the Xiao family.
The little boy held on to her and refused to get off. After all, Xu Shuyao was only a girl in her teens, and her face felt a little hot for a moment.
"Brother Yan!" A majestic male voice suddenly came from the front.
The child, hearing the sound, slid off her.
Xu Shuyao was surprised and looked forward, and saw a man wearing a robe with cloud patterns.
He looks somewhat like a little boy, and has the elegance and dignity of an adult man.
The man took the little boy with him and turned to Xu Shuyao and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Xu."
Unlike the stern look he had towards the little boy, there was a gentle smile in his eyes at this moment.
Xu Shuyao felt that the smile was somewhat familiar, and she suddenly thought of the person she met in the pen and ink shop that day.
Compared with the present, the man on that day also smiled like this, giving people the feeling that he was a scholar from a wealthy family, not a young master from a powerful family.
Wang Zhujun was slightly surprised. Her elder brother rarely took the initiative to talk to the young lady, let alone with such a gentle and charming smile.
At this time, Madam Zhou, the wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan, also came over. She said to Xu Shuyao with a look of emotion: "Good child! Thanks to you just now! Otherwise... we really don't know..."
Zhou was still frightened at this moment, and after she finished speaking, she looked at the maid with a stern expression.
The maid's face turned pale with fear and she was now kneeling on the ground trembling!
Even the third lady, Xiao Jinshan, did not dare to say much at this moment, because the child took the pastries from the small table in front of her, and she was afraid that someone would pursue the matter.
Fortunately, my cousin saved the child. If something happened because of this... her marriage with Brother Jingcheng might have been in turmoil.
From everyone's conversation, Xu Shuyao quickly learned that the little boy was Zhou's eldest grandson Wang Qingyan, nicknamed Yan Ge'er, and the child of Wang Shaowei's eldest brother.
The first man to call the little boy was the young marquis of Qingyuan Marquisate.
After knowing this, Xu Shuyao was also a little surprised. She really didn't think so much when she saved people.
Wang, who had come to her senses, also said to her sister-in-law, "You really should thank her."
Then she began to blame herself: "It's our fault that we didn't see it. This child is really kind-hearted. It's no wonder that the old lady in our house likes him."
He has a sharp eye and a clear mind, is calm and collected in the face of difficulties, and is also good-looking.
If her family background wasn't so bad, she would have been tempted.
Because of the incident, everyone's interest in playing was temporarily reduced.
But at least I've come out once, I can't go back now.
After a while, when everyone in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion had left, Xiao Jinshan gradually regained some energy.
The Duke's wife then asked Xu Shuyao, "How did Miss Xu know how to use this method to save people?"
Xu Shuyao smiled and said, "I raised my younger brother when he was little. One time, he choked while eating. I was so anxious at the time that it was our Madam Zheng who saved him. She patted his back like I did just now."
"I see. It's hard for you. You saved Qingyan today. I know my sister-in-law. It should be more than just a simple verbal thank you." Wang hinted to her with a smile.
Chen was also relieved. Looking at her daughter's expression, she roughly guessed that the child had taken the pastries from her.
I don’t know if the Wang family didn’t think about it this way or what, but they didn’t mention it.
Yes, it is better than anything else if the child can turn danger into safety.
Today, I went out and found that the two young ladies in the mansion were both named flower goddesses. This is a happy event.
Her niece saved someone again, which was considered a good deed, so Chen felt that she should be happy.
Liu also thought this was a good thing. The Wang family was rich, so the thank-you gift they sent must be extraordinary.
Although she was wary of the young lady surnamed Xu, she would not compete with the younger generation for profit.
The most unhappy among the female family members was Liu Qingwan. She went to Songhe Hall every day with Xu Shuyao. This cousin Xu was more capable than herself.
I didn't expect that after trying to please the people in the Duke's Mansion, he would now try to please outsiders.
Yes, she is not married yet!
Thinking of that eldest cousin of the Wang family, who is the heir to the title of Qingyuan Marquis, he is also a handsome man.
I heard that his wife died, leaving behind only this one precious son, whom he doted on like a baby. But by chance, he was rescued by his cousin Xu.
She felt ashamed of herself for not being able to seize opportunities to save people.
Wang Qingyan and his father were sitting in the carriage on their way back home. The little boy couldn't help but lean towards his father because he saw that his father didn't scold him for once.
Wang Wendong smiled and ignored the child's little action at that moment.
As a result, the boy took advantage of the situation and fell into his arms.
Wang Wendong was stunned, then he lowered his head to look at his thin son.
His wife passed away, and the child had been weak since childhood, so the Wang family all depended on him.
As a father, he has to be strict.
If it were usual, he would definitely push him away and say something like boys should sit properly, but today he couldn't bear it.
Wang Wendong thought of the little guy leaning on the girl's arms, and his heart moved. He asked, "Why did you lie in that sister's arms just now and won't get down?"
Wang Qingyan's black eyes flashed, and he lowered his head: "Sister Xiangxiang."
Wang Wendong snorted.
"Sister saved Yan'er and was very gentle, patting her on the back." The child next to him said again.
After Wang Qingyan finished speaking, he didn't hear his father's reply for a long time, but fell asleep in a daze.
Wang Wendong suddenly recalled what he had heard from his cousin that day when he impulsively questioned her: "The young lady has no father or mother..."
To be honest, he was a little disappointed at that time.
For Wang Qingyan, he wanted to marry a cheerful woman as his second wife.
If the young lady's past was too turbulent, he doubted her ability to love others.
When he met Xu Shuyao for the first time, he thought that the young lady should come from a simple family where the members love each other.
She smiled brightly, without a trace of gloom, and even when faced with a man's rude stare, she did not show the slightest bit of wariness.
I just didn’t expect…
