Duke Wei turned his head and saw his old wife rushing in.
"Heng'er hasn't come back yet?" he asked. If Heng'er came back, his wife would have no time to come to the study.
The old lady shook her head, "Ah..., he ran away to Taoyuan Township secretly without telling us."
She was also a little angry, always feeling that Heng'er preferred the Qian Mansion and didn't like staying in the Duke's Mansion.
Duke Weiguo smiled and said, "It's okay. Heng'er is very skilled in martial arts. You don't have to worry about his safety."
Old Madam Lu also fell silent. She just didn't want her grandson to be too close to County Lady Lu.
"You say, Heng'er always wants to go there, is it because he misses his fellow apprentices or because he misses Princess Ruiyun?" The old lady was a little curious.
Duke Weiguo hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid it's all true. Heng'er's fellow apprentices grew up with him, so they have a natural bond. As for the county lady, it's undeniable that she treats Heng'er well."
Duke Weiguo said what he meant. He was an upright person, and Princess Ruiyun had done him a favor.
Madam Lao also understood this truth. She sighed and said, "Ah... I don't know why, but I just don't like Heng'er to go there."
After a pause, she continued, "Heng'er's mind is too simple, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that he will use it to repay the favor."
Duke Weiguo smiled. He was not worried about this. He had personally inquired about Princess Ruiyun since Henger came back. She must be sincere in her love for Henger.
However, the county lady is a woman after all, and women have their own minds...
It’s true that it’s not big. Just look at how she treats Qingyun.
Duke Weiguo shook his head and said, "We still have to think of a way to get Heng'er and Qingyun to let go of their differences and shake hands in peace."
The old lady also admitted, "Just now Qingyun asked me to make roast chicken tonight, Heng'er likes it. Now the crux of their discord lies with Heng'er, not Qingyun."
Duke Weiguo nodded and said, "Forget it. I will go to Yan's mansion tomorrow and ask the Grand Tutor to help me persuade Heng'er again."
Madam Xu also nodded. Both of them were at their wits' end. Xu Heng was a stubborn person and would not listen to any of their persuasion.
In the evening, Heng returned to the Duke's Mansion in high spirits.
At the dinner table, he vividly described the food and fun they had in Taoyuan Township today. His excited look showed how happy he was at the moment.
The Duke of Wei and his wife looked at each other and refused to say anything to spoil the fun.
"You said that Master Yan also went with you?" Duke Weiguo was a little curious.
As old friends who have known each other for decades, Duke Weiguo undoubtedly knows Master Yan very well. To put it bluntly, he has a mental obsession with cleanliness and he disdains to make friends with ordinary people.
But what does it mean that he took the initiative to go to Taoyuan Township this time?
Duke Weiguo felt that he would have to ask Yan about this when he went to Yan's house tomorrow.
Heng had no interest in the roast chicken for dinner. He had eaten antique soup and a lot of barbecue for lunch, and he didn't want to eat greasy food anymore.
There was a table full of delicious fish and meat, but he had no appetite at all.
He only drank a bowl of vegetable soup and ate a steamed bun, without eating any meat or vegetables.
"Heng'er, have a chicken leg." Seeing that her grandson did not take the initiative to eat the meat, old lady Heng could not help it. She picked up a roasted chicken leg and put it in Heng's bowl.
Heng frowned, "Grandma, I don't want to eat anymore. I'm full."
"Don't you like roast chicken?" The old lady was a little surprised.
If it were usual, Heng might have endured the nausea and forced himself to eat, but after talking with Aunt Qian in Taoyuan Township, he decided to follow Aunt Qian's advice and bravely express his thoughts.
"Grandma, I don't like roast chicken."
Madam: ...
