It was already Haishi when Hang Baiqiu returned home from the Prince's Mansion, but no one at home had gone to bed yet. Everyone was waiting for Hang Baiqiu to come back.
As soon as he entered the door, the maids gathered around him to greet him.
After Hang Baiqiu responded to everyone's words, he saw Xiao Tao coming from inside and asked, "Xiao Tao, has grandma gone to bed?"
Xiaotao bowed and replied: "Miss, the old lady has been awake since she knew you were back in the city. She said she would also wait for her to get home..."
Hang Baiqiu said: "It's late, let's go and have a rest...Xiao Tao, let's go to grandma's place..."
"Yes, miss." Xiao Tao was waiting for this sentence, and immediately followed Hang Baiqiu to the inner courtyard.
Not long after the two of them walked on the corridor, Xiao Tao asked Hang Baiqiu: "Miss, your white fox scarf is so beautiful. It has no flaws at all. It's hard to find one like this in the capital."
From the moment she met Hang Baiqiu, Xiaotao noticed the white fox scarf around her neck, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Hang Baiqiu touched the plush and warm white fox scarf, and Chai Yan's face appeared in his mind. He smiled slightly and said, "If you like it, I will buy you one when you go out on the street another day."
Xiao Tao was startled and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, Miss, Xiao Tao didn't mean that. Xiao Tao just thinks this white fox scarf is so beautiful and is just happy for Miss."
"It's okay. You've taken care of grandma during this time, so I should give you some rewards!" Hang Baiqiu smiled slightly and continued to walk forward.
When Hang Baiqiu came to grandma's room, grandma was dozing off with her arms around the stove. She didn't even know that her granddaughter and Xiao Tao had come in.
It wasn't until Hang Baiqiu walked up to grandma, squatted down, and gently covered her wrinkled hands that grandma slowly opened her eyes.
Although Mrs. Hang's eyes were blind and she could not see things, it did not prevent her from identifying the person in front of her.
Mrs. Hang's expression suddenly became happy. She squeezed her granddaughter's hand tightly and said, "Qiu'er, you are back..."
"Grandma, Qiu'er came back late..."
Although he had only been away for more than a month, the moment Hang Baiqiu saw his grandma, tears could not stop rolling in his eyes.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..." Mrs. Hang finally felt at ease.
Mrs. Hang gently stroked her granddaughter's cheek, and her expression became distressed after a moment: "Qiu'er, this errand must be very hard. Look at you, you have lost weight..."
Hang Baiqiu immediately took grandma's hand and said, "Grandma, you don't know. There are so many delicacies and game in Mishan. I eat so much every day, how can I lose weight..."
"
Xiao Tao knew that the two of them had a lot to say, so she sensibly exited the room and gently closed the door.
After the grandfather and grandson had some sweet words, grandma asked: "Qiu'er, is that man named Chai Yan coming with you this time?"
Hang Baiqiu couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Grandma, it's so good, why did you suddenly ask about him?"
"What's the matter?" Grandma suddenly became serious and said, "Qiu'er, grandma didn't hide it from you. Regarding this young man Chai Yan, grandma asked someone to inquire about him during your absence!"
Hang Baiqiu's face turned red and he said anxiously: "Grandma, you...why are you asking about him?"
"Grandma is blind, but she is not blind at heart! When asking about him, of course it is for you, Qiu'er!" Grandma patted the back of Hang Baiqiu's hand.
Hang Baiqiu explained: "Grandma, he is just my subordinate, not what you think, no..."
"Qiu'er, grandma won't say any more. As long as you like Qiu'er, grandma will like it! However, if he wants to be good to you, Qiu'er, he must agree to one condition of grandma!" Grandma said sternly.
Hang Baiqiu was stunned and asked without much thought: "What are the conditions?"
Grandma looked serious and said in a cautious tone: "You must marry into our Hang family!"
During this time, Mrs. Hang sent someone to inquire quietly and learned that Chai Yan came to Beijing alone and that there seemed to be no one at home. After careful consideration, she felt that he was just the right man to marry into the Hang family.
It’s not that Old Madam Hang doesn’t care about Chai Yan’s humble status, but after all, her granddaughter’s age is here, and her official position is not low. The most important thing is that she has a cold temperament and is not good at pleasing people. So it is no longer a problem to find a suitable official son to marry.
It's easy. After thinking about it, it's better to settle for the next best thing and find a man that your granddaughter likes to marry into Hang's family, so that he can continue the family's legacy!
Upon hearing this, Hang Baiqiu's expression froze, but she immediately said: "Grandma, what are you talking nonsense about? I...he and I are not what you think at all...
..”
Hang Baiqiu felt inexplicable sadness in his heart. Not to mention that Chai Yan already had someone he admired in his heart. Even if he didn't, how could Chai Yan agree to marry into his wife with such a temper?
Moreover, she was not sure whether Chai Yan had any intention for her or not!
"No?" Grandma raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Qiu'er, you are grandma's grandson, can you still hide your thoughts from grandma?"
Ever since the last time she saw Hang Baiqiu chasing Chai Yan away like a duck, Mrs. Hang had noticed the clues. Her Qiu'er had never had such close contact with a man.
Hang Baiqiu's face suddenly turned red when her grandmother told her what she meant. She didn't know what to say.
After a moment of silence, Hang Baiqiu said: "Grandma, it's already very late. Qiu'er will serve you and rest."
Mrs. Hang felt that it was best to stop talking about this topic, so she stopped going into details and stood up and said: "Qiu'er, you must be tired from the journey. Go back to the house and rest quickly. Grandma has Xiao Tao here...
.Xiao Tao!"
Mrs. Hang called out, and Xiao Tao immediately opened the door and came in.
But Hang Baiqiu still waited for grandma to go to bed and lay down before leaving the room feeling lost.
After Hang Baiqiu closed the door and left, Mrs. Hang asked, "Xiao Tao, are you unhappy?"
Xiaotao tidied the bedding and replied softly: "Back to Madam, there is a little bit."
Mrs. Hang sighed secretly and said in her heart: Qiu'er, grandma can't help it. Who said you are the only one left in our Hang family?
On the other side, Hang Baiqiu returned to his room. At this time, the maids had just filled the bath water...
Hang Baiqiu took off his clothes and entered the bathtub. The maid didn't like the presence of anyone until the young lady took a bath, so she consciously closed the door and left.
As soon as he calmed down, Hang Baiqiu remembered the embarrassing scene when Chai Yan broke into the house that night, and he immediately laughed out loud. The shame, anger and anger at that time had now turned into beautiful and interesting memories.
But after recalling it, Hang Baiqiu's words began to ring in Hang Baiqiu's mind...
He has to marry into our Hang family...
Married into our Hang family...
Entering the family... Entering the family... Entering the family...
This sound cannot be dissipated for a long time!
Suddenly, Hang Baiqiu shook his head hard, and then his body sank, and the top of his head submerged into the water.
After a long time, Hang Baiqiu, who couldn't hold his breath, burst out of the water with a crash and began to exhale vigorously...
