Chapter 260 Going to Prince Yi’s Mansion
Duke You quickly arrived at the concubine's courtyard, his angry expression fading. Seeing the Duke approach, the concubine flashed her signature gentle smile, stepped forward to support the Duke, and said softly, "Duke, how did you find time to come and see me today?"
Duke You put his arm around his concubine's waist and pinched her butt. "Of course I miss you. My little Die is the most considerate and gentle."
In a corner where Duke You couldn't see, Xiaodie rolled her eyes. "You're such an old thing, how dare you?" she said, "You're so annoying, Duke. Do you miss me too?"
Not to mention the chaos at Duke You's Mansion, the Marquis of Lanyang was already preparing to go to Duke You's Mansion to present the betrothal gifts.
Siyu was already preparing gifts. She'd been traveling, fighting on the battlefield, delivering supplies, and bringing back local specialties from across the land. She had quite a few gifts, and she was ready to share them with everyone. Time flew by, and it was already Xiumu Day.
The mother and daughter were still sorting out the things to be sent out. Outside the gate, the two brothers' laughter echoed: "Brother, that kid named Fang at the academy today really deserves a beating. He actually dared to look down on us farmers and called us mud legs."
Si Huan said like an adult: "Brother, don't care about other people's eyes and opinions. We just need to do our best. They look down on us, but they are wrong. Have you forgotten what your sister told us? There is no distinction between noble and humble people. No one is born noble. We achieve it through our own efforts."
Our Yulong Dynasty relies on millions of peasants to grow food to support those so-called noble people.
Ignore his thoughts and answer, "Okay, got it, brother." Hey, what day is it today? Why is Mom packing so many things?!
Si Yu, also full of confusion, looked at the things loaded in the car. The two brothers looked at each other. They quickly ran into the house and said, "Mom, are we moving?" The two asked in unison, "Where are we going?"
Lan Niang looked at her two sons with a smile, "Come here, both of you." They walked to their mother's side. What's wrong?
Mother: "Guess who's back." The two looked at each other and wondered if it was my sister.
Lan Niang nodded, "Yes!" The two little brothers cheered happily, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, sister is back."
Mom, tell me quickly, where is my sister?!
Mom, tell me quickly, where is my sister?!
What's all this excitement? Mother and her two children turned to look. A tall, handsome man walked through the doorway. He was none other than Bai Qingyuan, who had been in Beijing for several months, studying at the academy to prepare for the imperial examination next year. He had shed his timid demeanor from the countryside, now sporting a fair, handsome complexion and a steely presence. Just standing there gave people a sense of security.
Lan Niang said happily, "You're back."
Bai Qingyuan: "Go forward and hold Lan Niang's hand. I told you not to work so hard. Don't you have maids and old women to take care of you? Why do you have to suffer so much?"
Lan Niangshen glared at him in surprise and said, "I do nothing every day. I'm so bored that I'm almost dead."
Bai Qingyuan said: "We don't have so many rules in our family. You can go out for a walk and chat with the ladies who are easy to talk to, or you can go to my mother's place."
When the two met, they had endless things to talk about, just like a newlywed couple.
Siyu looked at her parents, who were glued to each other. It had been so long since she had seen such a warm, peaceful scene. She leaned against the door frame and coughed twice, cough, cough, cough.
Bai Qingyuan: "Only then did I turn around and see that it was my precious daughter who had returned. I happily stepped forward and looked her up and down. Seeing my daughter, who had grown into an increasingly beautiful, lovely and generous girl, I felt very relieved and proud."
Bai Siyu: "Dad".
Bai Qingyuan: "With a choked voice, he happily agreed, hey, hey, just come back safely."
Lan Niang saw the father and daughter standing there. She shook her head happily, "Okay, look at you two, staring at each other. Let's go. If you have anything to say, go inside and talk. Don't stand there."
Bai Qingyuan: "Hearing Lan Niang's words, he chuckled and scratched his head. Lan Niang glared at him angrily, "Look at you, you fool." The family went into the house and sat down happily.
Bai Qingyuan asked Siyu when she had been out and where she had been. Siyu also vividly told them about the big and small things she had experienced outside in the past few months, but she only reported the good news and not the bad news. She didn't tell them about her injury, but only talked about the fun and interesting things she had experienced along the way, which made the family laugh.
Lan Niang and Bai Qingyuan knew the journey wouldn't be smooth sailing, especially with so many people chasing them. It was just that their daughter kept quiet, and they didn't expose her. Now that their daughter had returned safe and sound, it was a blessing in disguise. After the family finished their conversation, it was almost dark. Aunt Cui called for dinner; the family gathered around the table, and the younger brother kept chattering about his sister's adventures. His eyes were filled with hope and envy, and he was full of praise and admiration for his sister.
Sister, I will study hard and go out to gain experience, just like you...
The sun rises in the east, and the magpies chirp non-stop. "Is there something good happening today, Your Majesty?" "Why do I hear the magpies chirping non-stop?" Princess Yi said, looking at Prince Yi.
Prince Yi looked at his wife with a doting smile and said, "Every day there are good things, and my wife is in a good mood every day."
The old princess looked at Prince Yi's smug look and said to him, "You old pervert, you are so old and still doing this."
King Yi said with a smile, "No matter how old you are, you are still my wife. In my eyes, you still look like you are eighteen years old, just as cute, young and beautiful."
Prince Yi and the princess looked at each other. At this time, the driver's voice sounded outside, calling for the carriage to stop. "Master, Madam, we have arrived. The princess should get off the carriage."
When Prince Yi and Princess Wang heard this, they said, "The princess has arrived, it's time to get off the car." They excitedly asked, "Is Lan Niang back?" Prince Yi shook his head, "I don't know! It shouldn't be so early!"
Princess Yi: "Let's go, let's go and take a look."
The couple supported each other and came to the gate. Looking at the lovely little girl standing next to the car, they shouted excitedly, "It's Yu'er! Yu'er is back, our grandson is back!"
The old couple were so excited that they were incoherent. They came forward and took Siyu's hands, looking her up and down. "Hmm, she's thinner and darker, but she's stronger and taller. Come into the house, come in quickly. Let grandma take a good look at her."
Well, things have changed. Your second uncle is back, so let's get together as a family. But your youngest uncle, the debt collector, hasn't come back yet. If your youngest uncle comes back, our family will be complete."
Siyu looked at the two elderly people with sad and lonely expressions. She didn't intend to keep them in suspense and winked at them, "Grandpa and grandma, guess what good news I have for you today. You will definitely be very happy to hear it."
The two old men were distracted for a moment and asked excitedly, "Tell me quickly, tell me what the good news is."
