Chapter 53: Outing Incident
Xie Chenglin packed up his things early in the morning. Since his wife, concubine and elder sister were all there, it was quite lively this time.
A Ying and Xie Hejun accompanied the old lady in the largest carriage.
"How did Aying sleep last night?" asked the old lady.
Ah Ying smiled and replied: "Very good."
"Well, it's good to be young. You can't get enough sleep." The old lady joked.
Ah Ying couldn't help but comfort the old lady, "Grandma is the most open-minded, lovely, and wise person I have ever met."
The old lady, beaming with joy at Ah Ying's praise, clapped Ah Ying's hands and said, "Ah Ying is really good at talking."
Looking at the smiling faces of his grandmother and Aying, Xie Hejun couldn't help but be infected and his expression became a little better.
The old lady then looked at Xie Hejun and said with concern: "Hejun doesn't look very well today."
Ah Ying changed the subject and said considerately, "Maybe it was because of the cat's meowing last night that Sister Hejun didn't sleep well."
He Jun glanced at Ah Ying and nodded, "Yeah."
The old lady did not ask any more questions. She just held Ah Ying with one hand and He Jun with the other, and said slowly: "Grandma, I just hope that you can all be happy and cheerful..."
Xie Hejun's eyes became hot and he couldn't hold back his tears, so he lay on his grandmother's lap.
Ah Ying said softly, "We still have a lot of time, so Sister Hejun should just take a nap."
Xie Hejun held the handkerchief, tears falling diagonally...
The old lady stroked He Jun's hair and said, "Good boy, take a rest when you are tired. Grandma will always be by your side."
And Liu Wutong, who was sitting in the carriage at the back, would occasionally glance at Chengfeng who was riding a horse outside, fearing that the child might be tired.
"Madam, please eat something. You didn't eat much for breakfast." Qiao'er peeled an orange and handed it to Liu Wutong.
But Liu Wutong was in no mood to eat. She muttered, "This old lady is just too much. Why is she going to enjoy the maple leaves? She is so old and she is not afraid of getting tired. It was almost midnight when Chengfeng came back yesterday. How could she get enough sleep? What if she falls?"
Qiao'er could only comfort him, "The Third Young Master is young, he should be fine. When we get there, just tell him he's feeling unwell and don't let him go hunting with the Prince and the Second Young Master."
Liu Wutong nodded helplessly, "That's right, Chengfeng is a little weak, so he shouldn't go if he can."
After talking about Cheng Feng, Liu Wutong asked again: "It's time to get to Qingzhou, right?"
Qiao'er leaned closer and whispered, "It should be here in the next two days."
Liu Wutong said angrily: "Guan Yulan has been so popular recently. I'm worried that she won't be idle!"
"By the way, Madam, I heard something about the eldest lady." Qiao'er lowered her voice even more.
Liu Wutong glanced sideways.
"It's a rumor that the eldest lady had a quarrel with the Prince of Jinyang, and it was because of a woman." Qiao'er looked gossipy.
Now it was Liu Wutong's turn to be shocked. "Is the news true?"
Qiao Er patted her chest and said, "It should be true that I got it with money. In addition, I also heard that the villain who kidnapped A Ying the day before yesterday was hunted down because he wanted to sue King Jinyang."
This is a huge melon!
Liu Wutong has always been dissatisfied with Xie Chengyi, but Xie Chengyi is too boring, and it is basically impossible to catch him. However, if Xie Hejun makes any moves, Guan Yulan will be worried to death! That is her capital for showing off!
"Come to think of it, it makes sense. The young lady has been back for a few days, but Xu Yuanping hasn't come to pick her up." Liu Wutong said softly.
Qiao'er looked at Liu Wutong with a lot of ideas in mind. "It just so happens that the eldest lady is here today, so we can give it a try." Liu Wutong kept it in mind. This is not impossible...
Suburbs.
Xie Chenglin had already arranged for people to set up the tents.
As soon as the old lady got off the car, she saw the beautiful scenery swaying all over the field and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This place is really beautiful."
"That's right, brother said you like the scene of red maple leaves the most." Xie Chenglin said with a smile.
The old lady also praised him, "Your elder brother is thoughtful, but you are more thoughtful than him."
After being praised by the old lady, Xie Chenglin's face also brightened up, "As long as grandma is satisfied."
"Okay, don't worry about us. Go hunting with your eldest brother and the others. Zhanli and the others are here, so everything will be fine." As soon as the grandmother spoke, Chenglin, who always loved hunting, quickly responded and ran away.
"Chenglin is a filial child, and he is meticulous in his work, but he is a little sensitive!" He Jun said from the bottom of his heart.
This is also the reason why my grandmother likes Chenglin and feels sorry for him.
"You're right. Look at that lazy guy. He's almost hanging on the servant. He doesn't want to run or jump, and he either eats and drinks or plays every day. If I hadn't asked him to be there, I don't know where he would go today! I'm worried about you!" The grandmother couldn't bear to see her grandson like this. She would be so angry that she couldn't breathe.
"Aunt is also worried about his weak body and that he might get tired." Xie Hejun said soothingly.
The old lady didn't like what he said. "He Ni was born with him, and she's a girl. Isn't she lively and energetic? The key is why isn't she pretentious or reckless? In the final analysis, it's because Liu Wutong spoils the child too much!"
Xie Hejun quickly comforted him, "It's okay. Today, Chengyi is here, so he doesn't dare to go too far."
The old lady stopped looking at anyone and went into the tent with Aying and Hejun.
As soon as they arrived at the tent, Liu Wutong hurried over and whispered with concern: "Chengfeng, you look so tired."
Xie Chengfeng almost fell to the ground, full of grievances, "Mom, I don't want to go hunting, it's so tiring, and I don't eat those things, why bother?"
Liu Wutong understood and comforted her quickly, "Mother, I understand. I'll go to your grandmother right away! You should take a good rest!"
Xie Chengfeng collapsed all over and said weakly: "Then I'll sleep for a while..."
Liu Wutong sighed, gathered her strength, put on an extremely flattering smile, and walked towards the old lady's tent.
Nanny Su just lifted the curtain.
"I am——a human being." When Liu Wutong saw Xie Chengyi's face, her smile froze on her face and her words died in her throat.
The old lady looked at Liu Wutong and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
Xie Chengyi said calmly: "I'll trouble Auntie to inform Chengfeng in a while. Chenglin and I are waiting for him at the entrance of the hunting ground. This time, we are mainly here to practice with him!"
Liu Wutong's heart trembled when she heard this. Oh my god, this is mainly to accompany Chengfeng to practice. Will Chengfeng be able to walk after the practice? She smiled frivolously and said, "Um... That, Chengyi, you see, Chengfeng is weak, can you not let him--"
Xie Chengyi said directly: "Don't worry, I brought Xu Kuang with me, and he can observe the situation at any time. Next year will be the grand event where the young masters of the noble families in Beijing will accompany His Majesty on hunting trips. Our Chengfeng can't fall behind again. I will push Chengfeng up no matter what! After all, he is my younger brother, the pillar of the Xie family..."
The old lady also agreed, "Yes, Chengfeng refused last time. If he refuses again, we will be buried in the dust in the future!"
Liu Wutong's anxiety was aggravated by the sound of the words. Well, her darling son was going to be tormented again...
Early Early
