Chapter 561: Empress Qin Is Sick
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Shi really missed All Yu very much. Every time she received Ah Yu’s letter, she would feel a little nervous.
She was worried that Ah Yu would suffer outside or not live comfortably.
She was even more afraid that she would suddenly not come back one day and turn her past memories into a dream.
However, she held back these thoughts and only sent letters to remind the children to play well and not worry about the family.
The children were traveling to expand their horizons, so it was actually not convenient for them to communicate.
Old Madam Wang had long agreed with them to send letters to the courier stations in a few places on a regular basis. As long as the children followed the appropriate route, they could obtain the letters from the courier stations in those places.
There were also a few times that the letters were lost or missed, but they ultimately managed to communicate with each other.
Now that they finally did not have to wait to receive and deliver letters, everyone in the Wang Family heaved a sigh of relief.
These naughty children had finally returned.
Other than the eldest branch, Wang Chuanfu, and Wang Dalang, who stayed in Hu Family Village, and the third branch, Wang Chuanyuan, and his wife, who stayed in Nanhe Town, the rest of the Wang Family were in the prefecture capital.
Ah Yu snuggled in Old Madam Wang’s arms for a while before running towards Liu Shi. Finally, the bitterness in Liu Shi’s heart disappeared.
“Ah Yu has changed. She’s become even more beautiful.” Liu Shi looked at All Yu, who was also unfamiliar, but it was just her face that was a little unfamiliar. She still felt close to her.
The others from the Wang Family also looked at Ah Yu curiously for a while and could not help but sigh. “She’s really completely changed. If not for us being family, we really wouldn’t have recognized her.”
“It’s easy for girls to change their appearance. It’ll be fine when they reach marriageable age.” Old Madam Wang calmly changed the topic and did not let them think too much about it. “Bao’er also look different every year.”
Wang Chuanman was puzzled. “When Little Sister was young, she didn’t look like this every year—”
THUD!
Wang Chuanman covered his head and looked at Old Madam Wang. He shut up and stopped talking.
“You have a big mouth, right? You’re so good at talking. The storyteller position in the restaurant happens to be empty. Why don’t you go and take over?” Old Madam Wang’s expression did not change, as if she was just saying it casually.
In the past few years, Old Madam Wang had become more and more expressionless. She would still criticize her family, but it was very difficult for everyone to tell if she was angry or not.
It was as if the old lady who used to glare and roll her eyes had never existed.
Everyone picked up Ah Yu, Qin Huai, and the others happily and asked the servants to bring them to wash up.
Liu Shi had made some food for them. Some were pastries and fruits that she had started preparing a few days ago, and some were freshly made. They filled the entire table.
Ah Yu and Qin Huai did not eat much, but Wang Wulang, the Crimson Guards, and the others shared the food.
After eating, Qin Huai returned to the house next door to rest. Ah Yu originally wanted to chat with her family, but as she spoke, she began to yawn.
“Go and sleep first. You’re tired from the long journey. You should rest well.” Liu Shi held Ah Yu’s hand and brought her to the courtyard.
Ah Yu’s courtyard was still the same, but the flowers and plants inside had already grown very well. The grape vines and wild fruit vines had also grown a lot and were all well taken care of.
It was spring, and the courtyard was filled with vitality. The flowers and grass raised their heads, their excitement written on the petals.
“It’s all done by your grandfather. He doesn’t let others touch it because he’s afraid that they’ll spoil it,” Liu Shi explained.
Ah Yu smiled. “Yes, yes. Grandpa dotes on me very much.”
She lay on the bed and muttered, “Mother, 1 missed you outside. 1 bought a lot of things for you. When I wake up, I’ll find them one by one and distribute them to you.”
“There’s no hurry. Sleep well first. Mother made you a hundred-flavored porridge. When you wake up, you can eat it.” Liu Shi looked at Ah Yu with a doting look, afraid that the child’s return was just a dream. Only by holding her hand did she feel that it was real.
“Mother, why didn’t I see any Little Brothers?” Big Brother had a son, and Mother had also given birth to a younger brother. Ah Yu naturally knew about this.
When she left, her Little Brother was already a few months old in her mother’s stomach. Now, he should be more than three years old.
“He’s still in school. 1 don’t know when you’ll be back today, so 1 didn’t ask him to wait at home.” Speaking of her youngest son, Liu Shi felt helpless. “He’s a naughty monkey. We can’t let him be idle at home.”
The more obedient Ah Yu was, the more mischievous her youngest son was. He had been beaten up countless times at home. Wang Chuanman would chase after him every few days to beat him up, but he always had a tendency to commit the same mistakes.
According to her mother-in-law, Ah Yu had sucked in all the obedient genes of their family, causing the rest to all be naughty monkeys by nature..
