Chapter 391 Stalking
Chapter 391 Stalking
Lai Zi brought out his usual persistent spirit and kept pestering Xu Qinghe.
"...It was my fault back then. I should have gone down earlier to save my niece... And I shouldn't have forced you to repay me later... Second brother, you adults should be magnanimous, so don't bother with me..."
Yuxiu couldn't help laughing. This Lai Zi was quite funny.
When they first brought the people back from Xujia Village, they intended to have them deal with Xu Qingrong's family, so that Xu Linzhi wouldn't have nothing to do and spend the whole day looking for trouble.
However, since this Lai Zi knows that he is wrong and wants to reform himself, it is not impossible to give him a chance.
"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, please get up and talk."
Xu Qinghe felt helpless. If these people were really sensible, he could just lend a hand and it wouldn't be a big deal.
When Lai Zi saw that Xu Qinghe and Yuxiu were both smiling, he finally let go of the worry in his heart.
God knows, Lai Zi really wants to start a new life and never live a muddled life like before.
Next, Xu Qinghe took Lai Zi to the yamen, while Yuxiu went to Prince Ning's mansion alone.
The old princess had finished praying and came out of the Buddhist temple with Xu Lewan.
"My little granddaughter is so thoughtful. She knew that I was greedy, so she sent some delicious food over."
Hearing that Yuxiu had arrived, she came out from the backyard with Nanny Lin to greet her, and even from a distance, she greeted her with a smile.
"Grandma, how did you know there was something delicious? Could it be that you can tell fortunes?"
Yuxiu couldn't help laughing. The old lady was in good health now, and she was in high spirits because of the good news. She walked very briskly.
"Grandma smelled the fragrance from a long distance away. It must be that you, a little girl, felt sorry for me, an old woman, so you hurried over here."
Yuxiu was holding a large basket in her hands, and Nanny Lin hurried over to take it.
She went over and supported the old lady, and the two of them walked towards the backyard while chatting and laughing.
"Both of your uncles have sent letters back, saying that they will be back soon. I don't know if they can make it in time for your coming-of-age ceremony..."
The old lady sighed. Everything in Tianfu had been prepared for Yuxiu's coming-of-age ceremony, and of course she wanted to make it grand.
Her little granddaughter is now back with her. Otherwise, if she had stayed in the countryside, she wouldn't know what that old woman would do with her.
Whenever the old princess thought about her little granddaughter being forced to marry those illiterate country men, being beaten by the men and scolded by her parents-in-law, and living her whole life in a daze, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
"As long as my two uncles and brothers are all well, it doesn't matter if I can't catch up."
When talking about her coming-of-age ceremony, Yuxiu felt a headache again.
Cui had also talked to her about this matter these days. If nothing unexpected happens, after the coming-of-age ceremony, many families should come to propose marriage to her.
She didn't want to get married for no reason and then have to stay at home to take care of her husband and children and not be able to go anywhere. The thought of it made her feel so painful.
"I also sent a letter to them before, telling them to put national affairs first."
For a family of military generals like theirs, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism have long been engraved in their bones.
Yuxiu helped the old princess into the house, took the large basket she had brought and opened it.
Calculating the time, the milk powder for middle-aged and elderly people that was delivered last time should have been finished, so Yuxiu got out another can this time.
There were also various shortbread snacks, candies, chocolates and so on, all packed in a lot of small bits and pieces.
She had already figured out the old lady's living habits these days and had a good grasp of her appetite.
In addition to these, Yuxiu took out another package from the basket, which contained a set of clothes that Cui made for the old lady in her spare time.
"This was made by my mother herself. She didn't have time to come here in person, so she asked me to bring it over."
Yuxiu pulled the clothes and gestured in front of the old princess for a few times, then nodded with satisfaction.
"My mother has a good eye. The color she chose for you makes you look decades younger..."
"If I suddenly look several dozen years younger, I will become an old monster..."
The old princess couldn't help laughing, stroking the soft fabric of the clothes, feeling very comfortable in her heart, but she said with some complaints:
"Your mother not only has to take care of two children, but also has to see patients in the pharmacy. She is so busy every day. Next time, let her rest more and don't exhaust herself. There are many embroiderers in the mansion, and I, an old woman, have many more clothes..."
It is of course good that the daughter-in-law is filial to him, but this daughter-in-law is not an ordinary person, and she is destined not to be like other women, staying in the backyard for several days without going out to serve him.
The old princess was an open-minded old lady, and she accepted all this very quickly. Now she didn't want anything else, she just hoped that Xu Qinghe and his family would live in harmony.
"Don't worry, grandma. My mother knows about this. She also told you to take good care of yourself. Our whole family will continue to honor you in the future..."
Yuxiu coaxed the old lady with sweet words, which made her so happy that she held her hand and kept saying yes.
"No wonder I could hear grandma's laughter from so far away. It turns out that sister Yuxiu is back..."
Following the sound of brisk footsteps, Xu Lewan walked in with a smile.
"Wan'er, come here quickly. You two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. It would be good for you to talk together."
After a few pleasantries, the old princess asked Xu Lewan to sit next to her.
Ever since Luo Junxian settled things with all the people in the Luo family, he has personally come to invite them several times.
Because Luo Shiya's condition has improved and now she just needs to rest well, Mrs. Luo's spirits have also improved a lot.
In this situation, Xu Lewan, the daughter-in-law, was still unwilling to go back. She wanted to go to the house to persuade him in person several times, but was stopped by Luo Junxian.
Because Xu Lewan told him that she would wait in the mansion for her father to return from the border.
In that case, let's just wait.
Nowadays, the Ning Wang Mansion is in its heyday. Even though Madam Luo is a mother-in-law, she dare not act recklessly like before, and she also values Xu Lewan a little more.
So Xu Lewan now lives in Prince Ning's Mansion, as if time has gone back. She has not yet married into the terrible Luo family, and is still the carefree second young lady of Prince Ning's Mansion, living a very comfortable life day by day.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were laughing and joking happily. On the other side, Lai Zi had already taken back the household registration of the people in Xujia Village, and the file of the indenture had been deleted. From then on, they were free again.
Except for Lai Zi, the other seven people were holding the household registration books in their hands, and their fingers were shaking.
"Now that you have redeemed your indentures, you should all be able to leave here, right?"
