Xiao Liao followed Mrs. Xiao all the way to Fushouyuan. Seeing the situation, Grandma Sun knew that the mother and son had something to say, so she dismissed the other servants knowingly.
"Okay, you don't need to say any more, I know it well." Mrs. Xiao took the lead before Xiao Liao could say anything.
"Mother, you can't be fooled by that little baby."
"What did she fool me about? If you weren't there just now, Xuan Bao didn't say anything."
"You don't know how cunning she is. Since she came, you don't know what she said in front of Rouping. She often suppresses our second wife, uncharacteristically."
"You are getting better and better as you live, a five-year-old child. Cunning? No matter how cunning she is, she is just a little baby."
Mrs. Xiao had a preconceived idea, just like she did at the beginning. Didn't she think that Xuan Bao was just an ordinary little baby at first? Xiao Liao's head was so big, how could the old mother believe in herself?
"Second Master, the old lady has just come back. It won't be too late to talk about anything tomorrow." Grandma Sun noticed that the old lady Xiao was very unhappy and signaled.
For a moment, Xiao Liao didn't know where to start. He bowed and resigned: "Mother, take a good rest. My son will retire first."
Mrs. Xiao waved her hands, she did look tired. After all, she was an elderly person.
Finally feeling clean, Mrs. Xiao sighed softly, and Grandma Sun took the tea bowl from the hands of the young maid and handed it to her.
After taking a few sips of tea, Mrs. Xiao said slowly: "What do you think?"
Grandma Sun smiled and said, "I just saw this, and it's hard for me to tell you."
"Old man, you have been following me for decades and you speak out when you have something to say. What do you have to hide in front of me?"
"Looks pretty cute."
"Well, that little baby is pretty and has a sweet mouth."
"Speaking of which, she and the old lady are quite close."
"Yes." Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but smile, "The little doll is innocent and cute. She looks innocent. The nobles in the palace may also like her for this."
"Perhaps it's because of my age. To be honest with the old lady, I also like the little county master very much when I see her."
"The first bedroom is such a little girl, and she finally came back after so many years of troubles. Why do you think the second bedroom can't get along with her?" Mrs. Xiao really couldn't understand.
"Take your time, nothing can hold you back."
"Actually, I also know the temper of the eldest daughter-in-law. If the eldest son and his wife hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't have kicked them out of the Marquis' Mansion."
"It's good that the old lady has something in mind." Grandma Sun listened for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid there's something hidden in it."
"I am old, but I am not confused." Mrs. Xiao stood up and said, "Let the maid wait for me to rest while you go out and wander around."
This meant that she wanted to inquire about the news. After summoning the two maids, Grandma Sun turned around and left Fushouyuan.
Besides, the group returned to Qinse Courtyard. Princess Rouping couldn't help but complain before they even sat down after entering.
"Keren, didn't I ask you to send Xuan Bao to my grandfather's house for a few days first, and then pick her back up after I made it clear to the old lady and she calmed down? Don't you take my words seriously now?"
"Mother, the child doesn't dare." Xiao Keren said respectfully.
Xuan Bao's heart was like a mirror: "Mother, it was I who asked the third brother to take me back to the house. I did something wrong again. My grandmother went back to the house and avoided seeing her. If someone with intentions is talking nonsense, then wouldn't it be wrong for our eldest brother to include me?
You feel guilty for being a thief."
"Okay, I know you have big ideas, and your third brother will listen to you."
These words were full of anger, and Xiao Keren was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Mom, don't be angry, it's all the child's fault."
"Mother, don't blame them." Xiao Kexiao also knelt down.
Princess Rouping gave her a hand: "You two, get up quickly. I didn't blame you either."
Xuan Bao stepped forward and hugged Princess Rouping: "Mother, you are angry, angry with my elder brother."
Hearing this, Xiao Keren and Xiao Kexiao, who were standing up, looked at each other, and Grandma Ying also sighed.
"Your elder brother is getting more and more outrageous." Princess Rouping's eyes turned red.
Xuan Bao turned his attention to his second brother Xiao Kexiao: "What's going on?"
"Before my grandmother came back and entered the hall, my eldest brother and my mother had a few words, which were a bit unpleasant."
"What did he say again?"
"I just want to speak for my second wife and criticize my mother."
Princess Rouping couldn't help but pat the armrest of her chair when she heard this: "He is an unfilial son who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. If I hadn't raised him single-handedly, I would have thought that he was the child of the second wife."
Hearing this, Xuan Bao and Xiao Keren couldn't help but look at each other. They had already had suspicions in their hearts, but there was no conclusive evidence yet.
Xiao Kexiao caught the two of them looking at each other in confusion and asked: "Are you two hiding something from me and my mother?"
"No." The brother and sister said in unison, even shaking their heads in unison.
Princess Rouping doesn't care, but Xiao Kexiao is very thoughtful. They obviously have a secret, but don't worry, they will figure it out eventually.
"Mom, don't think too much. Have I passed the most important test of being a grandmother at the moment?" Xuan Bao asked.
"Your grandmother didn't say anything." Princess Rouping felt helpless, "It seems that the second wife can't leave."
"Grandma is a reinforcement who moved in from the second room." Xuan Bao saw it clearly, "It's just a delay for a few days, no problem, mother, don't think too much about it."
"Now that we are riding a tiger, what should we do?" Princess Rouping asked worriedly.
"Let it go for now. If grandma is sensible, when she figures it out, she will kick the second room out without your having to say it." Xuan Bao comforted her.
Aunt Ying also spoke to comfort her and said, "Princess, please don't be too hasty. We don't care about the second wife, but the old lady is the Marquis's mother after all."
"Yes, don't worry, so many years have passed anyway." Princess Rouping said helplessly.
"Mother, believe me." Xuan Bao yawned at the right moment after he finished speaking.
"You must be exhausted after going to the palace early in the morning and working hard until now." Princess Rouping couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw this.
"Let's send Xuan Bao back." Brothers Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren said in unison with a tacit understanding.
After leaving Qinse Courtyard, the brothers returned the Xuanbao to Lingyun Court. Dongxue and Xia Yu had already sent messages to Chunhua and Qiuyue.
The three brothers and sisters came in and sat down. The four maids started working, and Xuan Bao's mouth also started working.
After filling his stomach, Xuan Bao patted his belly and put down his chopsticks, finally grinning.
"Xuan Bao, you scared me to death." Xiao Kexiao was a little scared after thinking about it, "How dare you act so presumptuously in front of the old lady."
"How could I be so presumptuous? Second brother, she is our grandmother, not someone else." Xuan Bao believed in his intuition, "She just looks serious."
Xiao Keren smiled and said: "Second brother, it is superfluous for you to tell Xuan Bao these things. What is she afraid of?"
"That's right." Xiao Kexiao looked back and thought, "You are different from us."
"Actually, it's the same." Xuan Bao suddenly smiled a little weirdly, "Second brother, third brother, I know you have a lot of questions, but I want to talk to Lao Zhou now. Do you want to stay or go out and wait for me?
