Chapter 511 - 511 Mother and Son Meet (1)
In the past, Dabao was the most mighty and domineering. However, ever since his two younger brothers could speak, they often joined forces to bully him. Just as Yu Wan turned around to get their clothes, Dabao was splashed with water by his younger brothers.
“Er’bao! Xiaobao!” Yu Wan only saw the shadow on the ground and also caught the two little fellows’ prank. She turned around and looked at the two of them sternly.
The two of them lowered their heads shyly and continued to take their bath with innocent and harmless looks. Yu Wan wiped the water off Dabao’s face and picked him up. She first wiped his little body, put on his clothes, and carried him to bed.
!!
Xiaobao shouted, “Mom! Mom! I want to wear it too!”
“Fu Ling!” Yu Wan called out to the door.
Fu Ling strode in, picked up the wet Xiaobao, and wiped him vigorously. Her rough hand wiped Xiaobao until he rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue. Xiaobao, who had been “ravaged”, pitifully climbed onto the bed and threw himself into his mother’s arms. Wu ~
The three little fellows had all changed into pajamas and had slept a little too much during the day. They were not tired yet. They jumped up on the bed and were sweating profusely. The shower was for nothing.
Just as Yu Wan fetched water and was about to wipe the little fellows’ bodies, Zi Su and an old woman guarding the door sounded.
“…Alright, I understand. You can leave first.” After Zi Su sent the old woman guarding the door away, she gently knocked on the door. “Young Madam.”
“Come in,” Yu Wan said.
Zi Su pushed open the door and entered.
“Zi Su! Zi Su! Look at me!” Xiaobao flipped over as if he was showing off. This was a new move he had learned and he especially liked to show off to others.
Zi Su was amused by him. “Xiaobao is really amazing!”
Xiaobao patted his chest and said, “I’m amazing!”
“I know it too,” Er’bao said.
“You don’t,” Xiaobao said.
The two brothers quarreled. Dabao jumped around at the side, immersed in his own world, and ignored his two silly brothers.
Yu Wan looked at the three little fellows and asked Zi Su, “It’s so late. Did something happen?”
Zi Su whispered, “Just now, Aunt Du from the gatekeeper said that a couple had come to our manor and claimed to be the little masters’ family. That woman even looks very similar to Eldest Young Madam. Aunt Du was surprised for a moment, so she came to report to Eldest Young Madam.”
“She looks like me?” Yu Wan’s first reaction was naturally not that her parents had come. Her second reaction was that they had come, but on second thought, it was unlikely. Her father was a marquis personally conferred by His Majesty. With his rank, he could not leave the Capital at will, let alone walk out of the Great Zhou to come to Nanzhao. Yan Jiuchao could leave the Capital because he could come and go as he pleased. His Majesty thought that he had returned to Yan City, so he only needed the Yan Manor to keep everything after that a secret. However, Lotus Flower Village had a mine, and the Imperial Court had to check from time to time. If they could not see his father, they should ask something.
Therefore, even if Yu Wan hoped that her parents were here emotionally, she rationally felt that this was impossible. But no matter what, Yu Wan still went to see the couple outside the manor. In the end, she was dumbfounded when she opened the door. “Dad? Mom?”
“Ah, Ah, Ah… Ah Wan?” Yu Shaoqing was even more surprised than Yu Wan because the reason why they came to the Helian Manor was definitely not because they knew that their daughter was here. Yu Wan and the others had followed Helian Beiming back to the Capital, so it was not easy to find out their whereabouts. On the other hand, Ah Wei and the three little black eggs had left many legends along the way. They went to the Gu Hall and found the house that the Gu Hall had given them. In the end, they came to the Helian Manor.
As for Yu Wan, when she left the Capital with Yan Jiuchao, she told him that something had happened to the Prince Yan Manor and that the couple wanted to return to Yan City.
“Why are you here?” Yu Shaoqing asked in surprise.
“This… is a long story.” Yu Wan looked at the servants around her and whispered, “Yan Jiuchao is now Old Madam’s biological grandson, the eldest young master of the Helian family. I’m the eldest young madam.”
“What?!” Yu Shaoqing was stunned again. He was even more surprised than when he first saw his biological daughter. “How many fathers does he have!!!” How did he become the young master of the Helian family again?!
There were many people and there were some things that Yu Wan could not say. She could only gesture to her father with her eyes. “…I’ll talk to you and Mom in detail later. Let’s go into the manor first.”
Yu Shaoqing was not in a hurry to enter the manor. Instead, he sized up his daughter from head to toe. After confirming that his daughter had not lost weight and had not suffered, he was slightly relieved. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “I knew you weren’t returning to Yan City! Brat! How dare you lie to me!”
The catch came too quickly like a tornado. Yu Wan rubbed her nose resentfully. It was not good to tell her father that everything was her idea. Back then, she was the one who wanted to come to Nanzhao to find the medicinal primer for Yan Jiuchao. She decisively skipped this topic. “But Dad, why did you come?”
Yu Shaoqing rolled his eyes. “What are you talking about? How can your mother and I not look for the children when they’re gone?”
The children were gone, and Ah Wei had also left. It was obvious that Ah Wei had taken the little fellows away. Yu Shaoqing was really angry at first. Even if he was their master, he was not his biological father after all. How could he take the children away without a word?
Yu Wan said, “It’s not Ah Wei’s fault. The little fellows climbed into the carriage themselves. By the time Ah Wei discovered it, it was already too late. The little fellows knew that he was here to look for us and insisted on following him.”
Yu Shaoqing had asked for a lot of information along the way and knew that Ah Wei treated the children very well. Actually, he had already guessed if he had wronged him.
Yu Wan thought of something and said, “By the way, Dad, after you leave the Capital, His Majesty…”
Yu Shaoqing said, “His Majesty agreed when I said that I would go to Yan City to look for you.”
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows strangely. “His Majesty is so straightforward… It’s not like his personality…”
Little Sly Jiang, who had focused on shaving for a hundred years, looked up at the sky.
“You…” Yu Shaoqing wanted to ask why they had come to Nanzhao, but he swallowed his words. This was not a place to talk. Later, he would find a quiet room and ask his daughter carefully. He changed the topic. “Where are the children?”
Yu Wan smiled. “In the manor.”
“Are-are they alright?” Yu Shaoqing asked awkwardly.
Yu Wan could not help but smile. “Good, they’re all quite good.”
The news Yu Shaoqing found out was that the little fellows were extremely happy. Now that he saw Yu Wan in the little fellows’ residence, the mother and son had already met. How could it be better than this?
However, even though he knew that they were doing well, he could not help but confirm it. This was probably love that was engraved in his bones.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “If they know that Grandpa thinks of them this way, they’ll definitely be very happy.”
Yu Shaoqing said without thinking, “Who’s worried about them! Your mother was anxious, so we came out to look for them!” Those three little black eggs were the same as their father. He didn’t have to worry about them!
Tap tap tap tap! Footsteps came from behind Yu Wan. Then, three little bodies bumped into Yu Wan’s back. From behind Yu Wan, round little bald heads stuck out. One, two, three. When her little brats became little baldies, they would also be the most beautiful little baldies in the world.
Yu Shaoqing rushed over.
Yu Wan : “…”
What happened to not missing them? Huh?
Yu Shaoqing hugged the three little baldies tightly. The three of them struggled. We-we want Grandma!
Yu Wan laughed and said, “Dad, Mom, follow me into the manor first. Zi Su, Fu Ling, bring down Master and Madam’s luggage.”
“Yes!” Zi Su and Fu Ling were also very happy to see their master and madam. They bowed respectfully and went to the carriage to get their luggage.
Yu Wan held Madam Jiang’s arm and said with heartache, “You came all the way here. Mom has suffered.” Her mother’s health was so bad and she was exhausted from the journey. She must be even weaker. She had to nourish her mother!
Madam Jiang said gently, “I’m not afraid of any more suffering if I can see Ah Wan.”
Yu Wan looked at Yan Jiuchao, who was walking behind the three little fellows, and then at Madam Jiang, who had pounced over and hugged Yan Jiuchao in a second. The corners of her mouth twitched: “…”
Can you let go of my husband and say this again?
Fu Ling and Zi Su took down the luggage from the carriage. Although there were only two of them, they had a lot of luggage. It was basically from Madam Jiang. Yu Shaoqing only had two bags, and they were the lightest ones.
Zi Su took Yu Shaoqing’s bag and let Fu Ling take the rest.
On the way back to the courtyard, Yu Wan thought about how to settle her parents down. The Helian Manor was so big, and Old Madam and Helian Beiming doted on her. They definitely did not mind her parents living in the manor, but they were still her maternal family. In the eyes of the servants, they were outsiders. Her parents might not be comfortable living there, but the three little fellows had three mansions in the Capital. One of them was not far from the Helian Manor, so it was better to settle her parents there.
Of course, it was late today. They would stay in Xixia Garden for the night first. Tomorrow morning, she would send someone to tidy up the room before letting her parents move over.
After entering Xixia Garden, Yu Shaoqing saw Ah Wei’s family—the Grandma. He didn’t go to Yan City, nor did he return to his hometown. If it wasn’t deliberately arranged, Yu Shaoqing wouldn’t have believed it.
It seemed that many things had happened along the way, but there was still a long time. Yu Shaoqing was not in a hurry to ask. After washing up, he and Madam Jiang stayed in the room in Xixia Garden.
The little fellows also slept here tonight.
At dawn, Yu Shaoqing woke up. He was moving to Little Gu Elder’s house today. He first packed his and Madam Jiang’s things. Although he also wanted to stay with his daughter and his grandchildren, there was no reason for the maternal family to stay in the in-laws’ house. If word got out, people would gossip about his daughter.
After packing up, he went to the small kitchen to make breakfast for Madam Jiang and the children. He steamed a basket of pig buns. When he returned to the room with a plate of pig buns, he accidentally bumped into the old lady who was looking for her great-grandchildren.
