Chapter 178 Meeting Uncle (2/2)



However, it's too late to regret it now, since my niece has a better path to take.

As his uncle, he should be happy for his niece and sister's family.

“Great! From now on, with your parents in the capital, you'll have someone to look after you,” Yao Qisheng said with a smile.

“Yes, Uncle, when I marry Prince An, please come to the capital with your wife to witness the ceremony,” Li Zhi said to Yao Qisheng with a smile.

“Great! I’ll take your aunt to broaden her horizons too. We’ve never seen what the capital is like before,” Yao Qisheng said with a hearty laugh.

"Then you'll have to take your aunt to stay in the capital for a while longer so she can have a good look around."

As they talked, they arrived at Yao's courtyard.

Right now, Yao is sitting in the courtyard, pruning one of her favorite camellias.

"Mom, look who's here!" Li Zhiwei exclaimed cheerfully.

"My dear child, who's here?" Madam Yao chuckled, a little curious herself, wondering who could have made her daughter so happy.

"Sister!" Yao Qisheng looked at his sister, who was still as gentle as when she got married, and his eyes welled up with tears.

"Big brother? What brings you here?" When Yao saw that it was Yao Qisheng, she quickly put down the scissors in her hand and stepped forward excitedly to look at her eldest brother.

"It's been so long since I've seen you, that's why I wanted to come and see you," Yao Qisheng said with a smile.

"Chuntao, why don't you quickly serve tea to your great-uncle?" Madam Yao was delighted and quickly told Chuntao beside her to serve tea to Yao Qisheng.

"Brother, please sit down." Madam Yao pulled Yao Qisheng to sit down while looking her older brother up and down.

Looking at my graying temples, I felt a pang of emotion.

My older brother is getting old; he even has gray hair now.

There are quite a few wrinkles on my face.

"How have you and your sister-in-law been doing in Qujing all these years?" Even though Yao Shuheng had told her about her brother and sister-in-law's situation in Qujing when he came last time, Yao still wanted to hear from her elder brother again about how they had been doing all these years.

"It's all good. I just miss you. Over the years, I've always wanted to come see you, but something always got in the way." Yao Qisheng couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly as he thought of this.

After all, if it weren't for the fact that her son almost got into trouble while staying with her sister, she probably wouldn't have come to Li'an County to visit her sister.

"It's good that you're all well. My health hasn't been good these past few years, otherwise, I would have come to see you." Madam Yao didn't mention Yao Shuheng's matter. Her daughter wasn't going to pursue it, and she hoped her brother wouldn't care too much about it either.

After all, she still believed in her brother's teachings to the children, and that Shuheng was just temporarily blinded.

From now on, we need not meet again; this matter is settled.

“Sister, Weiwei, I apologize to you again! It is my fault for failing to raise my son properly, which led Shuheng to do such an absurd thing to Weiwei. I am ashamed of you!” Yao Qisheng stood up, bowed solemnly to the two of them, and said.

"Uncle, please don't be like this. This matter is over." Although Li Zhiwei knew that Yao Qisheng had come because of Yao Shuheng's matter.

However, she didn't deal with it at the time, and now she doesn't intend to investigate it further.

“Brother, Weiwei also said that this matter should be put behind us, so why should you take it to heart?” Madam Yao sighed and comforted her elder brother.

"Back then, you wrote to say that you wanted to match Weiwei and Shuheng, so I thought of having Shuheng come to Li'an County. At that time, your sister-in-law was reluctant to let Shuheng leave, so the matter was delayed again and again." Yao Qisheng sighed. He didn't expect that after several months of delay, when he came back, his niece had already been engaged to someone else.

"This is also my fault. I didn't write to you in time. At that time, the Marquis of Ru'an's proposal was rushed, and we didn't have time to prepare. When we wanted to write to you again, Weiwei had an accident in the capital. Before things were settled, I was too ashamed to write to you." Madam Yao sighed. She never expected that it was because of this reason that the two children missed each other.

"What happened to Weiwei?" Yao Qisheng asked in surprise upon hearing this.
