Xiao Yurong sat in silence for a long time. She never glanced at Wen Jiaojiao. She is so strong and decisive now because she is such a person. No one can defeat her.
But Wen Jiao Jiao was her only weakness. As long as she took one more look at her, she would be afraid that she would not be able to support her and her heart would soften.
It is precisely because of her daughter that she makes better decisions.
Xiao Yurong rubbed the body deed in her hand and couldn't help but glance at Wen Jiaojiao.
She sat quietly in her seat, wearing thick clothes. It was getting colder now. She was holding Yu Pozi in her arms and wearing a thick plush shawl, which made her look like a snow dumpling.
That small, delicate and round appearance is really endearing.
Xiao Yurong's heart softened and warmed up, and the stagnation in her heart slowly dissipated.
Wen Jiaojiao was lost in her thoughts. Sitting in a warm room and eating melon for so long, she felt a little sleepy.
Feeling Xiao Yurong's gaze, she smiled at her, then slowly tilted her head towards the table, ready to lean against it and squint for a while.
Looking at her movements, Xiao Yurong knew that she was sleepy. She only ate half of her meal today. On weekdays, whether she was eating or going out for a banquet, she would eat to the end.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yurong didn't want to spend any more time.
She looked at the body deed in her hand and threw it towards Ye Lanxin, forget it, just to accumulate virtue for Jiaojiao.
Ye Lanxin was very surprised when she saw Xiao Yurong returning the body deed to her. Wen Miaoran also gave her a complicated look.
Xiao Yurong no longer cared about the happy appearance of the family of three on the ground, walked over to Wen Jiaojiao and picked her up.
"Are you tired, Jiaojiao? My mother-in-law will take you home right now."
Wen Jiaojiao is already fifteen years old, so naturally it is difficult for her to ask her mother to hold her like a child in front of so many people.
He just rubbed his body against her, gave her a comforting hug, and then came down.
Xiao Yurong pulled Wen Jiaojiao outside and asked Aunt Yao, "Aunt Yao, have you put everything away?"
Aunt Yao said: "Madam, everything has been packed away. Not a single pin has been dropped."
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Yurong pulled Wen Jiaojiao and walked outside the Wen Mansion without looking back. The rest of the people also got up and left.
All the concubines in Wen's house who were freed also packed up their things without any hesitation.
Xiao Yurong also asked the concubines to leave several soldiers behind to protect them before they left the Wen Mansion, so as to prevent Wen Tingshan from embarrassment to them again.
Wen Jiaojiao stood at the gate of Wen Mansion, watching her mother-in-law pause at the door. She originally thought she was going to look back, but she turned her head and said softly: "Jiaojiao, you will no longer have a father.
Do you feel sad when you are the only one left?"
Wen Jiaojiao shook his head, "Haven't I always been without a father? I won't be sad at all when I leave the Wen Mansion. It's enough to have my mother here."
A trace of distress flashed in Xiao Yurong's eyes. It turned out that in Jiao Jiao's heart, she thought she had never had a father.
"Be good, Jiaojiao, my mother-in-law will take you home."
Wen Jiaojiao nodded, "Jiaojiao has grandma, uncle and the others, and sister Qingyu..."
Seeing Zhao Yan come out and walk to her side, Wen Jiaojiao pulled Zhao Yan over and said, "And my little nephew, Jiaojiao doesn't lack anything."
Yes, she doesn't lack love, so why would she need a cheap father?
"Jiaojiao, uncle is taking you home!"
Without any mental preparation, Wen Jiaojiao was suddenly lifted up from behind by Xiao Yan and then thrown into the sky with all his strength.
She was so frightened that she screamed, "Uncle!"
Xiao Yan was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely powerful. He caught Wen Jiaojiao with a hearty smile, held her in his arms and put her on the horse like he did when he was a child.
Mei Shiniang watched Xiao Yan put Wen Jiaojiao on the horse and said worriedly: "It's such a cold day, let Jiaojiao ride in the carriage!"
Xiao Yan got on the horse, took off his big coat and wrapped up Wen Jiaojiao, "I rode for a while and took her back. My sister may not have ridden for a long time. I brought you a horse. Let's go together as brother and sister.
Ride home!”
With that said, Xiao Yan clamped his horse's belly and ran forward with Wen Jiaojiao.
Xiao Yurong watched the soldiers bring her horse, touched the horse's head with her hand, grabbed the edge of the saddle, quickly turned over on the horse, and chased Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yurong was blown by the biting cold wind, and she felt relaxed and open-minded in her heart. It turned out that she was so comfortable and happy after leaving the man who didn't love her.
Wen Jiaojiao returned to Xiao Mansion and didn't feel any different from usual.
She still lives in Xiao Xuanan's courtyard. Her aunt said that her second brother will not come back for a while, and even if he comes back, he will live in another courtyard.
Xiao's Mansion is the Duke's Mansion. The mansion is vast in area. Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan'an's family previously lived there, and there are still many empty rooms.
Wen Jiaojiao fell asleep when she came back, while Mei Shiniang and Xiao Yurong went to clean and decorate a new yard to live in.
Originally, Xiao Yurong wanted to live with her daughter, but Mei Shiniang was afraid that the two of them would be too crowded to live together, so she cleaned up a new yard for her. Anyway, if she wanted to stay with Wen Jiaojiao, she could go there at any time.
Xiao Yurong had been busy all afternoon, and Wen Jiaojiao didn't bother her. He just stayed in his yard and read a book or something.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yurong took Wen Yanxi and her daughter to the Xiao Mansion.
They moved out from the Wen Mansion very neatly. The Xiao Mansion arranged for people to settle these concubines. Xiao Yurong thought that Wen Jiaojiao and Wen Yanxi seemed to have a good relationship on weekdays, so he took them over first.
As soon as Wen Yanxi arrived, she and Wen Jiaojiao sat in the yard and read together. However, Wen Yanxi read serious poetry books and the like, while Wen Jiaojiao read playbooks.
At dinner, Wen Jiaojiao, Aunt Zhu and the others had a lively reunion dinner. Compared with the scene at the Wen family where you ate yours and I ate mine, the meal we had today with Aunt Zhu and the others was better.
A real family reunion dinner.
Now Xiao Yurong has asked Wen Jiaojiao to change her name to Aunt Zhu as her aunt. She has left her humble status and left the Wen family, and is no longer anyone's concubine.
After dinner, Wen Jiaojiao and Wen Yanxi set off firecrackers outside the Xiao Mansion.
They originally wanted to put it in the yard, but when they saw that some of the neighbors living on the street came out to let it go, and even visited each other to play, they also came out to make a fuss.
"How about you let it go."
Wen Jiaojiao originally wanted to try lighting firecrackers by herself, but she was afraid of something that suddenly made a loud sound.
Seeing her wanting to try but not daring, Wen Yanxi encouraged her, "It's okay, just try it, it won't blow you up."
Wen Jiaojiao took the fire dumplings in a long thin bamboo tube and tried them but still didn't dare to light them.
She turned to look at Wen Yanxi, "Third sister, don't you dare?"
Wen Yanxi admitted generously, "I don't dare. In the past, it was Ah Huai who lit the firecrackers."
Wen Huai did not come with them this time. Although he wanted to follow them, he is the son of the Wen family after all. It does not matter much if he is placed in the Wen family. When he becomes an official in the future or has his own career,
