Chapter 717 Meeting

The next morning, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan were dressed neatly. Mrs. Dong checked them carefully again and made sure that there were no problems before letting them go out without any worries.

Mrs. Dong saw her husband off to the carriage, and waited until the carriage had left before returning to the courtyard. She heard the daughter calling for her father-in-law, so Mrs. Dong took the daughter-in-law and said, "Daddy is out, mother will play with you."

Yuyi's eyelashes were particularly long, and she looked particularly adorable when she blinked her eyes. She said in a childish voice, "Mom."

Mrs. Dong kissed her daughter, "Hey."

My own daughter is a late speaker. She is not compared with her brother-in-law. She compares her with normal children. My own daughter is silent. Now she finally speaks. She and her husband are very excited. This is the first time they are parents, and when a daughter calls them father and mother, it has a different meaning.

Mrs. Dong held her daughter's hand and walked slowly, "Yuyi, you need to grow up quickly."

Yuyi raised her head, "Big."

The maid behind him said, "Young lady, you are exaggerating."

Dong smiled, "Yes."

She would go back and write a letter to her mother-in-law. Happy events should be shared. Frequent correspondence with her mother-in-law could also better consolidate the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so as to avoid the situation of them becoming strangers when they can't see each other.

In Jinzhou, Zhulan and Tao made an appointment to go worship Buddha, because Zhao and Zhou Laoer also wanted to go, Zhulan did not bring Li this time. The eldest brother came back, and Li did not come to the main courtyard anymore. She stayed around the eldest brother all day long. The couple quarreled and fought with each other, but they had a deep affection for each other!

Zhulan rode in a carriage by herself, while Zhao and Zhou Laoer rode in another. Originally, Zhao wanted to take Yushuang with her, and if it weren't for the Ma family's matter, Zhulan would have agreed. It was better to be careful now.

The carriage arrived outside the city. After a while, Tao finally arrived. When we reached the foot of the mountain, Tao got off the carriage and explained, "My little ancestor wouldn't let me go, so I'm late."

Zhulan wiped her forehead with a handkerchief and said, "It's not too late, let's go up."

The weather is not good today, it's a bit hot and humid!

Tao came with her daughter, but did not see Xue Han. "You did not bring Xue Han with you."

Zhu Lan said as she walked, "She's engaged and she's old, so I didn't bring her to this crowded place."

Tao paused and said, "You and Lord Zhou are really careful."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. It's preventable, so it's better to be careful."

Tao was completely convinced by Yang, but Yang was right to be wary. The higher one went in the official career, the more dangers there would be in the dark, especially the women were most vulnerable to attack. After taking a look at the concubine, she decided that she should avoid crowded places in the future.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Zhou Laoer let go of his mother's arm and said, "Mom, Zhao and I will come to find you later."

Zhulan thought that her son was still strong, and Li was also strong, but she also had to climb the mountain, and she was not as good as Changyi. Changyi took her up the mountain, and it was the easiest time for her to climb a mountain. "Okay."

Tao was very envious, "It's good to have my son by my side."

Zhulan fanned herself, "You have a son too."

"That's different. We have few sons. Not to mention the baby, because of the family's heavy schoolwork, I tell you, as a mother, I have very little time to spend with my eldest son. When he was young, he lived with his father-in-law. When he grew up, he came back and became like a little adult. He is not close to me anymore."

Zhulan patted Tao's hand. These were the women in the big family. They were in charge of giving birth in the backyard, and many of their own sons were unfamiliar with them.

In the capital, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan have been at the Duke's Mansion for a while. They only saw Lord Ning, but not even Lord Crown Prince. Where is the Duke who was supposed to see them?

Chang Lian couldn't drink tea anymore. He had already finished almost a pot of tea. No matter how good the tea was, he couldn't drink it anymore. But he couldn't ask. He could only touch the teacup and kill time.

Rongchuan looked at Lord Ning in confusion, what did drinking tea mean?

Ning Xu had no choice. Her grandfather and second brother were afraid that Dad would not be able to bear seeing Rongchuan in person, so they finally thought of a solution. They would take a secret look first. After the doctor made sure there was nothing wrong, Dad could come out to see Rongchuan.

The second elder brother had to keep an eye on father to prevent any accidents, so he had to entertain the guests in front. He couldn't ask about the Hanlin Academy, and he felt embarrassed to ask about poetry and songs, as he had never loved studying since he was a child. As for asking about life, it would not be good to ask too deeply, as they were not that familiar with it, so he could only endure it.

Inside the house, Duke Ning looked at Rong Chuan under the tree outside, his cloudy eyes did not blink, tears falling from his eyes, "Resembling, too much alike."

Ning Hui calculated the time. Dad had been watching for a long time. He had been like this since he saw Rong Chuan. He kept saying that it looked too much like him. "Dad, it's already been half an hour."

I'm glad that grandpa is okay, but it's not a good thing for him to keep crying. You won't be able to go out for a while.

Duke Ning let out a long sigh, his heart still aching. He wiped his tears and felt empty inside. He sat there for a long time without coming to his senses. When the family doctor wanted to check his pulse, Duke Ning waved his hand and said that he was fine, he was just too eager to see his eldest son. Now that he saw him, he only felt endless sadness and he needed to take a break.

After a while, Duke Ning applied a compress to his eyes, and the pain was gone. He then slowly stood up and said, "Let's go out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Ning heard Zhixiang's voice and turned his head to look at his second son, "Why is Zhixiang here?"

Ning Hui felt uncomfortable being looked at by his father, "Dad, I didn't let Zhixiang come. He has seen Rongchuan before, so he must have some guesses. I guess he came here to find out."

Duke Ning snorted, "Don't think that I, your father, don't know anything just because I'm old."

Ning Hui's face was burning because he had thought about it, "Dad."

Duke Ning waved his hand, "Okay, let's go out."

Ning Zhixiang had just sat down when he heard the door open and saw his grandfather and father coming out together. His fingertips moved slightly. His grandfather and father had been in the house all the time, so why did they come out just now? His eyes fell on Zhang Rongchuan, and here was the reason.

Chang Lian and Rong Chuan hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Hello, Duke."

Duke Ning's mood had stabilized, but his voice was a little hoarse. "Sit down."

Duke Ning sat down with the help of his son. "I am old now, and my legs and feet are not very useful. It is better to be young. Seeing you two young people, I feel much younger myself."

After Chang Lian, Rong Chuan and other Dukes sat down, they took their seats again. However, it was difficult to respond, so it was better to remain silent.

Ning Xi said, "Dad, when you recover, I hope you will live a long life."

Duke Ning used to refute his old son, but not anymore. He has a new spiritual support. "Ah, I really should take good care of myself."

Although Rongchuan is the grandson-in-law, he is different from the crown prince. The crown prince grew up in the palace and is a crown prince with a deep mind. He can only see through a little bit. Moreover, the crown prince is the monarch and he is the minister, and there is too much gap between them.

Rongchuan is different. Having not grown up in the palace, Rongchuan is more pure. Plus, he looks like his eldest son, so he thinks he is his eldest son's reincarnation.

Rong Chuan touched the teacup, and the Duke's eyes fell on him several times. So he was really the Duke's child? But why was Prince Ning so indifferent?
