After entering the courtyard, Chu Qingwan's face was not very good. The three little ones saw that their faces were all concerned and worried, and they all asked: "Mother, did my uncle's affairs not go smoothly?"
Chu Qingwan shook his head: "It went very well."
Yuanyuan blinked: "Why is my mother looking like this? What happened?"
Chu Qingwan touched his head: "It's okay, it's just that Mom met someone she didn't like."
The quarrel outside was separated by the vestibule and the main hall. The three little ones didn't hear it. They didn't think about it in any other direction after hearing the words. They just thought it was because the people in the academy were annoying.
The three little ones took turns to comfort her, and Tiantian asked: "Mom, where is my uncle? Did he stay in the academy?"
Chu Qingwan said: "My uncle and his parents have gone home, and they won't resume school until tomorrow."
Tiantian smoothed over the relationship and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Aren't my uncle's father and mother our grandfather and grandmother?"
Chu Qingwan was stunned.
A long time ago, the third child was envious of the other children who received gifts and red envelopes from their grandparents during festivals. He asked her once, but she didn't hide it and told her about the two parents.
The three little ones were so happy that they urged her to bring them back. She couldn't say anything clearly, so she could only put it off again and again until she had to come back.
Now, the three little ones have seen the couple from the Chu family, and they are either disappointed or disgusted. The couple from the Liu family is destined to not be able to meet their expectations.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingwan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
In my memory, the character of the original owner actually had a lot of similarities with hers, but neither the original owner nor she could get the approval of her parents. Did they...have they failed too much?
Chu Qingwan pursed her lips, but before she spoke, the three little ones were already sensitively aware that she was not in a high mood, especially after her sweet words, she became obviously depressed.
The three little ones looked at each other and skipped this topic tacitly.
Yuanyuan and Tiantian pulled her into the house, and Tiantian said with a bright smile: "Oh, no matter who they are, mother, come here quickly, we have something good for you."
Chu Qingwan was pulled to the side of the kitchen by them, and Yuanyuan held a food box over as if offering a treasure, and happily asked her to open it and take a look.
"It's so mysterious, what's inside?"
While asking, Chu Qingwan opened the lid and saw three plates of snacks neatly placed inside. They were delicate, white, moist, and fragrant. They were her favorite Ruyi cakes.
The printing pattern on it didn’t look like something from an ordinary dim sum shop. Chu Qingwan asked, “Where did this come from?”
Tuantuan said with a smile: "Uncle Mo just sent someone to deliver it. He said he saw it when he came to the palace. He remembered that my mother loved to eat it, so he brought some back."
Yuanyuan nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, Uncle Mo is really thoughtful. He not only remembers my mother's preferences, but also always cares about her. This kind of thoughtfulness is so rare."
Tiantian clapped her hands: "Uncle Mo is so good to my mother!"
Chu Qingwan was a little surprised. Thinking of the dignified King Qi bringing a few plates of snacks, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
Looking at the three little ones playing tricks, the unhappiness that had just arisen in her heart was completely dissipated.
Chu Qingwan tapped their noses one by one and said with a smile: "Look at you, how can you buy them off after just a few plates of snacks?"
Tuantuan said seriously: "The most important thing is to use your heart."
Yuanyuan said out of thin air: "Uncle Mo specially told us that we are not allowed to eat secretly, and we must let you taste it first."
Tiantian wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief: "Mom, try it quickly and see if it tastes good."
Chu Qingwan did as he was told and ate a piece.
The three little ones all looked at her.
Chu Qingwan tasted it carefully and squinted her eyes with satisfaction: "It's soft and waxy in the mouth, and leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth. It's worthy of being made by the imperial chef!"
The three little ones swallowed.
Chu Qingwan laughed and took out the whole plate for them to eat. He pinched another piece and put it in his mouth. He clapped his hands and said, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke. I'll go to Prince Qi's Mansion."
