Xiao Zhongye deliberately asked for leave today and waited for his daughter to return home. When he saw Xiao Xixi coming back alone, his face turned black.
Although he received his daughter's look for help, he still asked: "Isn't King Yan coming?"
Xiao Xixi's face was extremely ugly and she could only nod her head reluctantly.
Gu's crying stopped for a moment, and then she cried even louder: "Have Xixi ever suffered so much? She didn't come to welcome her, she didn't pay her respects, and now King Yan doesn't even want to come back!"
Although Xiao Zhongye was also dissatisfied with Leng Moran's behavior, he was also worried that his wife would say inappropriate words and let others hear them, which would be bad for his daughter.
He said: "The emperor has been using Prince Yan more recently, and he really has a lot of errands in his hands."
This is meant to excuse Leng Mo Ran.
Mrs. Gu was not stupid, so she naturally heard it, so she didn't say anything about King Yan anymore, but just kept feeling sorry for her daughter.
"I got some good bird's nests yesterday. You can go back and take some away."
Xiao Xixi nodded. This was her mother's wish. Although she didn't have much attachment to the bird's nest, she should still accept it.
Mrs. Gu added: "I heard that you like Ruyifang's pastries, otherwise my mother would just buy Ruyifang and give it to you."
Xiao Xixi shook her head in shock. How could her mother have the same thinking as Jiyue?
She hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, I'm not interested in pastry shops."
Mrs. Gu did not insist and nodded: "That's right, you like to open teahouses. Then open more teahouses. Don't worry about money. There are plenty of mothers!"
Xiao Xixi could not wait to be moved to tears, her mother is simply the best angel investor!
"I'm not short of money yet."
Mrs. Gu clapped her hand and scolded unhappily: "Where did you get the money? You can't touch the dowry now, it's for you in the future. If you need money now, just tell your family and open a few stores."
Mother still has the money from the teahouse."
Xiao Xixi did not refute, Gu's money was not her dowry, but she did not insist anymore, understanding that these were Gu's good intentions, she just nodded.
Xiao Chongye couldn't get a word in. He finally saw the two of them stop and asked, "What do you want to eat? Can the kitchen prepare it earlier?"
Xiao Xixi thought for a while, named a few dishes, and Xiao Zhongye ordered someone to go to the kitchen to spread the word.
After saying this, Xiao Xixi remembered the return ceremony.
"Although the prince is busy with official duties and has not come back, he has sent his personal bodyguard Feng Yan to follow me back, and he has also prepared a lot of welcome gifts."
Mrs. Gu felt even more distressed when she saw her daughter trying her best to explain to King Yan.
Xiao Xixi was also afraid of Gu's behavior, so she quickly asked: "Mom, how is eldest sister doing now?"
In fact, Xiao Xiaolu was already able to walk independently before Xiao Xixi got married, so asking such a question was just to divert some attention.
As expected, Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up, "It's pretty good, thanks to you."
Xiao Xixi was also afraid that Mrs. Gu would continue to feel sorry for her, so she hurriedly said: "I'll go pay my respects to my grandfather!"
On the way to greet Xiao Hebai, Xiao Xixi also met Xiao Jinbao, a little girl.
As soon as Xiao Jinbao saw Xiao Xixi, he immediately ran over, grabbed Xiao Xixi's hand with his soft paws, and asked in a sweet voice: "Auntie, is it fun in the palace?"
Xiao Xixi bent down and picked him up, rubbed his soft face, and said with a smile: "It's fun. There are so many beautiful aunts there. Do you want to play?"
Xiao Jinbao held it tightly with his little fists, surprised that his aunt actually hugged him.
Even the aunt who was following him was surprised that the second young lady actually picked up the young master.
However, Xiao Jinbao was not happy and said: "I don't want those people to be my aunt!"
Xiao Xixi was very confused, did he understand this?
She flicked Xiao Jinbao's chubby cheek: "How old are you? What do you know?"
"I understand. My mother said that if you want a peaceful family, you can't have three wives and four concubines."
Xiao Xixi smiled unrecognizably and rubbed Xiao Jinbao's soft hair: "Okay, okay, you know, we Jinbao are adults."
However, she was not too surprised. The Xiao family did not have the custom of keeping concubines. From the old man to Xiao Dalang, they all had only one wife.
She had previously thought that Xiao Zhongye was an accident, but she didn't expect that it was just a misunderstanding. Xiao Xiaorou, who was born from a concubine, was not Xiao Chongye's daughter.
Thinking of Xiao Xiaorou, Xiao Xixi sighed in her heart. She heard that Xiao Xiaorou was left out in the cold after she went to Prince Wei's Mansion. She should not have a good life after Lu Jiaojiao married her.
How is this comparable to the wife of a new Jinshi?
Isn’t it delicious to be a pair for a lifetime?
Xiao Xixi did not continue to think about Xiao Xiaorou, but hugged Xiao Jinbao and went to pay his respects to Mrs. Xiao.
On the way, Xiao Jinbao said a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, let me down and walk. I'm a bit heavy. Auntie will be tired holding me."
Xiao Xixi didn't care. She finally managed to hold her small breasts without any system restrictions. So what happened to the journey?
She said: "It's okay, this journey is not far."
Xiao Jinbao was very happy. He liked his aunt the most, so he put his arms around Xiao Xixi's neck obediently.
As she walked, Xiao Xixi gradually felt a little powerless, but once the words were spoken, she would persist in whatever she said.
When she arrived at Xiao Hebai's yard, her arms were stiff.
Putting Xiao Jinbao on the ground, he instantly felt relieved.
When Xiao Hebai saw his granddaughter coming back, he asked, "Is there anyone bullying you in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Xiao Xixi looked at her grandfather's aggressive look and was worried that if she said someone was bullying her, Xiao Hebai would immediately pick up his machete and rush to Prince Yan's Mansion.
She shook her head quickly: "No, no, who dares to bully me when my grandfather is here!"
Xiao Hebai was comforted then, but she also said something, saying that if anyone dared to bully her, they must tell her grandfather.
Xiao Xixi suddenly felt that her grandfather's place was not a safe place. It turned out that being a group favorite also had its troubles.
Xiao Dalang and Xiao Erlang didn't return home until they had lunch.
Originally, the two of them wanted to take leave and come back to wait for their sister to come home, but Xiao Chongye drove them out and said they could just come back for lunch at noon and there was no need to stay at home all the time.
The two had to go out reluctantly, one to the Criminal Department and the other to the military camp.
The family had lunch happily. Xiao Xixi, out of love for her nephew and niece, let them sit next to her, one on the left and the other on the right. She would pick up vegetables and serve soup for them from time to time, feeling the joy of having children.
Xiao Jinbao is lively and cute, Xiao Jinwei is dignified and mature, and Xiao Xixi likes them both.
Gu suddenly said: "If Xixi likes it, she should give birth to the child as soon as possible."
Xiao Xixi almost choked, what and what?
She simply likes the two children, and more importantly, they are twins, which is rare.
But Mrs. Gu seemed to have read her thoughts and said: "Our family has a precedent of twins of twins, your uncle and I, you might also be able to give birth to twins."
