The next morning, Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang woke up feeling refreshed and energized.
In contrast, Hua looked exhausted with dark circles under his eyes, clearly having not slept all night and not getting enough rest.
Kaiyang saw Yan Qian and the other two practicing martial arts in the courtyard of the inn from the window. Remembering his master's instructions before he left, he told Hong Xiaoduo that he was going to practice martial arts with the three of them.
“Madam Wei, this won’t do. You might collapse before you even reach the capital,” Hong Xiaoduo said tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Hua's eyes immediately reddened, and she shook her head with a bitter smile: "I didn't want to either, but, but God is torturing me."
At this point, she seemed to be trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Hong Xiaoduo quickly closed the door and walked to Hua's side.
With tears in her eyes, Hua saw Hong Xiaoduo walk to her side, and the grievances she had been holding back could no longer be contained: "Hong Xiaoniangzi, do you know how painful I am right now?"
I had been thinking about it and hoping for news about Tong'er.
But now that I've met Kaiyang, let me tell you the truth, I don't care at all about how my family tries to verify if Kaiyang is my Tong'er. I'm already content just being able to see him.
But now I have received news from home that my Tong'er has been found and is already in the manor.
I didn't feel excited or expectant, and I didn't think about rushing back to see that child. Tell me, wasn't I very wrong?
Also, what if that person in the capital is my Tong'er? What will happen to Kaiyang? I can't live without him."
Hua was emotionally agitated, crying as she spoke and nearly collapsed, but she still maintained some rationality. Therefore, she tried her best to suppress her sobs as she spoke to Hong Xiaoduo, afraid of disturbing the other guests in the inn or frightening Kaiyang.
Hong Xiaoduo didn't rush to comfort or advise her. She gently patted Hua Shi's back and felt that she had calmed down a bit after venting. Then she said softly, "Although I have never experienced what Madam went through, I think I can understand how you feel right now."
What I'm trying to say is, since these things are making you uncomfortable, let's not think about them for now.
Kaiyang is by your side now. Just treat him the same way you always have. Don't think about the things in the capital for now. Once you get to the capital, you'll naturally have to find out whether that person is your Tong'er or not. There will always be a truth to be found out.
Yes, that would be the best.
If that's not the case, you still have Kaiyang, right? Besides, I already promised you that you can continue to follow us.
So stop torturing yourself with inner conflict and anxiety; it will only ruin your health and bring you no other benefit. Madam, you must have noticed that since your servants arrived at noon, Kaiyang has been talking to you much more?
More than usual. He's not excited about going to the capital with you, but because you're not in a good mood. He's worried about you and wants to cheer you up.
"Madam, do you trust me?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Madam Hua nodded. Although the young woman before her was not very old, Madam Hua truly believed in her.
Because of her kindness towards him regarding Kaiyang, Hua Shi already trusted her completely.
"Alright, since you trust me, then don't worry about anything. I'll take care of everything," Hong Xiaoduo said to Hua Shi.
She didn't make any specific promises. In fact, she wasn't very good at comforting, advising, or reassuring people; she just expressed what she thought.
Even if the Hua family didn't believe her, Hong Xiaoduo wouldn't do anything; she would still have to take care of the Wei family's affairs.
She never intended to be a savior, but since it concerned Xiao Kaiyang, she couldn't ignore it.
After hearing this, Hua pulled out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and then looked at Hong Xiaoduo and said, "Young Lady Hong, I know what to do. Thank you."
“No need to thank me, Madam. It’s quite a connection between me and your Wei family. Let’s go have breakfast now, I’m starving,” Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
First, they found Kaiyang, then they met Lord Wei, and after many twists and turns, they met Kaiyang's biological mother. It was really quite magical.
"Okay, let's go eat. Kaiyang likes meat buns." Hua said as she walked out. When she got to the door, she suddenly remembered something, turned around, looked at herself in the mirror, and quickly washed her face. She wanted to ask Hong Xiaoduo if she could still tell that she had been crying.
But then I realized there's no need to ask that at all.
However, ever since Tong'er's accident, she has never applied makeup again, and she didn't bring any with her when she went out this time. Now, even if she thought of using makeup to cover up the dark circles under her eyes, it was too late.
However, after hearing what Hong Xiaoduo said, I suddenly realized that she was absolutely right. What problem could I solve even if I was struggling and broke down? Hong Xiaoduo said that we could always find a way to verify whether the child in the capital was Tong'er or not.
What we need to do now is to prevent my health from collapsing and to avoid worrying Xiao Kaiyang.
The two walked out into the corridor. They had been waiting outside the door and had already heard Hua Shi crying. Ruan Niang, who had been anxious and worried and at a loss, looked at her mistress cautiously and felt that she seemed to be alright.
"Kaiyang, stop practicing, come back, wash up, and have some steamed buns." The next moment, he heard his wife's voice calling out.
Kaiyang jogged over, his head covered in sweat, the back of his robe soaked through.
Hua wanted to use a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Kaiyang's forehead, but then suddenly remembered that the handkerchief had just been used to wipe her tears, so she thought of using her sleeve instead.
"I'll just take a quick shower," Kaiyang said, and ran back to his room.
"This young master is quite good; every move is very solid." Dongzhi was practicing with Kaiyang for the first time and praised him sincerely.
