Xu Yuxuan was carried back to the west courtyard by Nanny Ji, and seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter.
He leaned closer to Nanny Ji's arms, pointed his finger at himself, and asked in a low voice: "Nanny, Xuan'er, is father angry?"
Nanny Ji comforted her, "My husband is not angry with the young master."
Xu Yuxuan was puzzled: "Then why?"
Nanny Ji thought for a moment and said, "My dear, you may be angry with the Second Madam."
Xu Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Mother?"
Nanny Ji nodded.
Xu Yuxuan tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong with my swelling?"
Nanny Ji guessed and answered, "It seems like he said something wrong."
Xu Yuxuan still didn't understand: "What, what are you talking about?"
Aunt Ji: “…”
This is not a good answer.
Xu Yuxuan added: "Being angry is not good, bad~"
My father was mean to my mother.
After saying this, he was about to get down from the ground, saying, "I'm going, I'm going to...save my mother!"
Just like when I saved my second brother from my aunt before.
Nanny Ji quickly stopped him and said, "Young Master, the Young Master and the Second Madam are having a private conversation. Xuan'er should be an obedient child, right?"
Xu Yuxuan was anxious, "But, but father is bullying mother!"
When you are anxious, you are not familiar with the word "angry".
When it comes out of his mouth, it automatically turns into the familiar word "bad".
Fortunately, Nanny Ji understood. She explained again and began to say something unpleasant, "It's not certain. My husband and the second wife have a good relationship. Maybe they are discussing something important. If you are really worried, I will take you to take a look tomorrow, okay?"
Before leaving, she asked Rendong to deliberately slow down. When Rendong came back, she said that the Second Madam had dismissed all the maids and old women in the west courtyard, and stayed in the room alone with the Second Master.
Nanny Ji was afraid that if she took the young master over at this moment, it would cause a conflict between the two masters.
She glanced out the window and continued, "It's getting late now. The kitchen has made the date mud cake that the young master likes today."
When Xu Yuxuan heard the words "Zao Ni Cake", he turned his head instantly and said, "Xuan'er wants to eat it."
It’s okay to save mother later!
Just like that, Xu Yuxuan was successfully persuaded by Nanny Ji to stay in the west courtyard and eat date cake happily.
Halfway through his meal, he suddenly stopped and said to Nanny Ji, "Leave some for mother. Xuan'er will go save her tomorrow."
Nanny Ji responded repeatedly, "Okay, Nanny will definitely keep it for you."
However, Xu Yuxuan was so anxious to save his mother the next day that he didn't even enter the room.
When they rushed to the main hall of the west courtyard early in the morning, Xu Yuejia was the only one there.
Xu Yuxuan looked into the closed inner room and asked, "Where's mother?"
It was still early and breakfast had not yet been served.
Xu Yuxuan came with an empty stomach. Nanny Ji estimated that the two masters would have calmed down after half a day and a night, so she made the decision to bring Xu Yuxuan over to have breakfast with the couple.
Maybe with the young master helping to mediate, the atmosphere could be a little warmer.
Xu Yuejia took a sip of tea and said in a light voice: "Your mother is resting."
When Xu Yuxuan heard this, he was about to go inside, but Xu Yuejia stopped him, "Don't go in and disturb your mother."
Xu Yuxuan still listened to Xu Yuejia's words.
He turned his steps hesitantly, moved closer to Xu Yuejia, and whispered, "Father."
The tip of his nose moved suddenly, and he asked, "Xiangxiang?"
Xu Yuxuan remembered this smell, it was his mother.
Xu Yuejia paused in putting the teacup down. He tilted his head slightly and sniffed, smelling a faint scent of pear blossoms.
When her memory went back to last night, Xu Yuejia's expression suddenly became a little more uncomfortable.
He covered it up with another word: "Have breakfast first."
Having failed to rescue his mother, Xu Yuxuan said "oh" dejectedly and sat down at the dining table.
Small head, big questions.
Why is it so difficult to save my mother? When I was saving my second brother, I just had to snuggle into my aunt's arms.
Xu Yuxuan, who still couldn't figure it out, came to Mr. Xu Baili and still looked listless.
Xu Baili came over. Although he was over fifty years old, he did not look old. When he raised the paper fan in his hand, a hint of elegance and romance was faintly visible.
Seeing that his young disciple seemed listless, he sat opposite him, trying to keep his eye level with his young disciple, and asked, "Xuan'er, what's wrong?"
Xu Yuxuan held her cheeks with her hands, raised her eyes, looked at Xu Baili, and said in a childish voice: "Father is angry. Xuan'er wanted to save mother, but father wouldn't let her."
In Xu Yuxuan's eyes, the gentleman in front of him is omnipotent.
After hearing this, Xu Baili was surprised for a moment and then said, "How strange! Your father is still angry?"
Although he called Xu Yuejia his sworn brother, the two of them did not have much of a close relationship except for a meeting in Wuzhou a few years ago and occasional correspondence.
Xu Baili had traveled around Dajin in recent years and had heard a little about this young top scholar. Outsiders said that he was a strict official who was not easy to deal with and was harsh on himself and others.
But after the encounter in Wuzhou, Xu Baili had a different feeling. His sworn brother had a stable temperament and never lost his temper with others.
Just seeing that he has unilaterally called him his sworn brother for several years and he has never gotten angry, it is clear that Xu Yuejia does not have a high bottom line when dealing with people outside the law.
It is actually very comfortable to get along with people who have such a clear distinction between public and private matters, because you can clearly know what the other person cares about or does not care about.
Xu Baili was very interested in the fact that the person who was in a stable mood suddenly lost his temper one day. He smiled and said, "Your mother is very capable of making your father angry."
"Can it still be saved?" Hearing his tone, which seemed very serious, Xu Yuxuan's heart tensed up.
Xu Baili stood up, fanning himself, and sighed, "It's impossible to save him!"
Of course, he was talking about Xu Yuejia.
Xu Yuxuan was anxious and said, "We must save her. She is Xuan'er's mother!"
Xu Baili took two steps forward and turned back to say, "Don't worry, your mother will be fine. Let's learn to read first. After you learn to read, I will teach you two ways to deal with your father."
Xu Yuxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother was saved.
Wen Ye slept until the middle of the night before waking up.
It has been a long time since I stayed up so hard all night. When I woke up, my mind was in a fuss for a while.
She sat on the bed for a while before calling for someone to come in.
Yawning while washing.
Yunzhi brought a clean coat and Taozhi helped to tie her hair.
Wen Ye sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the rather charming person in the mirror, and thought that staying up late alone was indeed different from staying up late with two people.
The difference can be seen by looking at the person in the mirror.
Wen Ye looked in the mirror and was very satisfied.
At this time, Yunzhi said, "Madam, the young master came to us as soon as he got out of school, and is waiting outside now."
Wen Ye fiddled with the hairpins in her makeup box, picked out a pear blossom hairpin and handed it to Tao Zhi, saying, "Why didn't you go to the main courtyard?"
Yunzhi replied, "I asked, and the young master said he was coming to rescue the lady."
"Save me?" Wen Ye didn't understand. "Save me what?"
Yunzhi didn't understand either, she said, "The young master didn't tell me."
Taozhi had a guess, "The young master didn't see the lady until this morning after returning from the Wen Mansion yesterday. I guess he missed her and said something wrong?"
Yunzhi added: "Madame Ji couldn't explain it either, she just thought the young master had prepared some jujube mud cakes."
Wen Ye raised his eyelids and became even more curious, "Really? Let's go and take a look."
Taozhi asked hurriedly: "Do we still need to set the table?"
Wen Ye touched his empty stomach and said, "Let's eat and watch."
Eating date mud cake early in the morning is too greasy.
Inside the hall, Xu Yuxuan sat at the dining table, holding a whole piece of jujube mud cake in his hand. He glanced at it frequently, took sips of it, and swallowed it.
Wen Ye came out and saw this scene.
She raised her eyebrows, walked over and sat next to him. When Xu Yuxuan saw her, he was happy and relieved and said, "Mother!"
Taozhi poured a cup of warm water and handed it over.
Wen Ye took a sip to moisten his throat and said, "Why don't you eat it?"
She pointed at the date mud cake in his hand.
Xu Yuxuan swallowed again and said, "This is what Xuan'er left for mother!"
"Xuan'er won't eat!"
After saying this, he shook his head seriously.
It seems to express his firm determination.
Wen Ye continued to drink water and asked, "I heard from Yunzhi that you were coming to save me?"
Xu Yuxuan nodded his head, his expression quite serious, and said: "Yes, my father was mean to my mother all night, so Xuan'er came to rescue her."
"Cough, cough, cough..." When Wen Ye heard this, the tea in his mouth almost spit out.
I finally swallowed it, but I accidentally choked on it and coughed for a long time before I recovered.
The three words "one night" are too easy to make people imagine.
Yunzhi, who was waiting on the side, also looked unnatural. She knew very well that the lady had called for water in her room last night.
Xu Yuxuan imitated how Lu usually took photos of himself, put his warm hands on Wen Ye's back, and said softly: "Don't cough~Don't cough~"
After recovering from the shock, Wen Ye asked him, "Who told you that?"
Xu Yuxuan's belly puffed out and he said, "Xuan'er knows everything!"
Wen Ye: “…”
Is it that children speak without restraint, or has the child matured precociously overnight?
Fortunately, at this time, breakfast was served near noon, and Wen Ye decided to eat first.
He also said: "Keep the jujube mud cake for yourself, mother can just eat these."
Wen Ye glanced at the food on the table.
Xu Yuxuan is not hungry, he is gluttonous.
Therefore, the date mud cake was much more attractive to him at this moment than the whole table of food.
He obediently took a bite of the date paste cake in his hand, looked up and saw Wen Ye putting one wonton after another into his mouth. He recalled that his second brother seemed to do the same thing after he was dragged out from his aunt's place, eating the cakes in his room in big mouthfuls.
The only difference was that my second brother ate while crying, but my mother didn't cry.
But they are all eating, so they must have been rescued, right?
With a little confusion, Xu Yuxuan finished a piece of jujube mud cake and satisfied his gluttony.
Wen Ye also finished a bowl of chicken soup and wontons and was now eating steamed buns.
Xu Yuxuan wiped the cake crumbs off his hands with a handkerchief and then returned the handkerchief to Yunzhi.
He leaned forward and accidentally bumped into Wen Ye's arm, and smelled a familiar scent again.
Yunzhi hurriedly took a half step forward and steady him.
Xu Yuxuan, however, wanted to move closer to Wen Ye.
Wen Ye finished eating the buns, lowered his head and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Yuxuan raised his head, pointed at Wen Ye's arm, and said, "Xiangxiang?"
Wen Ye immediately smiled and said, "I, your mother, smell good every day, right?"
Xu Yuxuan said, "My father's."
Wen Ye stopped chewing, lowered his head and sniffed, it seemed to be true.
She remembered that she had accidentally picked up the wrong soap last night and used the soap bar that Xu Yuejia usually used. So later, she also picked out a new soap bar for Xu Yuejia, which was the one she used in the past, with the scent of pear blossom.
The soap bar used by Xu Yuejia had just the scent of ordinary soap. Wen Ye didn't expect Xu Yuxuan to have such a sensitive nose.
You can smell it.
