As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Mrs. Qiu San probably also understood this, but she just didn't want to think about it deeply, so she could only feel envious.

After the two ladies left, Qiu Huixian asked the nanny beside her to settle the two girls sent by the third lady.

Originally, she wanted to ask questions first.

It's just that it's getting late now, and Xie Changyu and his son are probably going home soon.

She had to order dinner to be prepared, so she didn't have time to talk to the two women, so she casually asked her confidants to find out where they were coming from.

Yin'er brought the newly brewed tea to Qiu Huixian, still feeling unsatisfied: "The third lady is obviously not well-meaning, why did the young lady leave the person behind?"

"Of course I can see clearly what Third Aunt is thinking." Qiu Huixian said calmly: "I won't refuse because there is indeed a need for such a person. If she doesn't send him, I may have to look for him someday."

"If their background is clear and their character and temperament are suitable, then they can be kept by their side."

"If there is something wrong after checking, I will have my own arrangements for this person."

When Yin'er heard her lady say this calmly, she bit her lip and couldn't help but said, "Why do we have to have concubines?"

Priscilla Qiu said: "It's always been like this."

"But there are also families who don't have concubines."

Qiu Huixian fell silent.

Indeed, there are only very few people like that, they can almost be said to be rare.

Yin'er whispered again: "I heard that the Duke has never taken any concubines... Even His Majesty in the capital only wants one queen and has an empty harem. Why does the young lady have to train concubines for the prince?"

Qiu Huixian said calmly: "I'm going to see if the food is ready. By the way, if the prince and young master come back, please report early."

Yin'er knew that her young lady didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she sighed secretly and turned to leave.

Qiu Huixian picked up the tea, but looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup, her mind wandering.

Yin'er's words still affected her slightly.

She couldn't help but think that it would be nice not to train the concubine, but to treat each other with respect and treat each other as if they were guests.

Xie Changyu already has a son and a daughter.

She should also be able to give him one or two children in the future, and it will not be difficult to have a family full of children and grandchildren.

She could take care of the affairs of the mansion, and Xie Changyu's daily life was just something she could take care of with her lips. Many things were done by her own servants.

It's fine if it's uneventful.

Even though Priscilla Qiu knows how to manage the house and balance the wife and concubines, she is confident that she can do a good job.

But with more people, there will always be more chores...

She has been quiet in Xie's Mansion for a while this past month, and she actually wants to stay quiet forever.

But this is her own idea after all. Who can know what Xie Changyu thinks?

In this life, thinking too much will give rise to worries and only increase troubles.

Qiu Huixian shook her head, sipped tea, and threw these messy thoughts behind her.

"Aunt - Aunt Qiu -" Xie Huan's childish voice sounded together with Yin'er's voice reminding him to "slow down".

Qiu Huixian put down her tea cup and looked into the courtyard.

Xie Huan rushed in at a trot, holding the hem of his robe, "I'm back!"

"Running so fast."

Qiu Huixian stood up, held Xie Huan's hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the handkerchief, "Are you happy racing outside?"

"Okay."

Xie Huan sighed: "I was just running, and my father taught me some riding skills..."

At this point, Xie Huan wrinkled his nose and whispered: "What? We were obviously going out to play, but he always remembered to teach me, which made me so nervous, afraid that he would be angry if I didn't do well."

Qiu Huixian was very understanding of Xie Huan's mood. She stroked his bun and said softly: "Your father didn't mean it. He was just used to it and he taught you well."

"I know, so I am studying seriously...Daddy is really good."

Xie Huan gestured with his hands, "He can stand up the horse like this, and it can still stop in the air for a while. I have seen my second uncle do it before, but he was not willing to teach me."

"Dad taught me for a while today, but it was really difficult and I couldn't learn it." "Dad just took me to do it... There were other people nearby, and they were all stunned!"

The child's eyes were bright and starry.

It was a gradual admiration and pride for my father.

Xie Huan said seriously: "Dad said I will learn it in the future, and then I will show it to my aunt."

"Row."

Qiu Huixian smiled and nodded, leading him over to wash his hands.

After the relationship between the two eased, Xie Huan called her "aunt".

He said that Aunt Wanning had taught him before that he had a mother, and her mother was unique, so she could not call anyone else's mother.

Calling her madam would be very unfamiliar.

He still likes the title "aunt" and finds it cordial.

Qiu Priscilla had no objection to this title.

Xie Huan's mother died after giving birth to him. Mother was very heavy to the child and Qiu Huixian.

Qiu Huixian felt that she could not afford this title.

"Aunt" is a good title.

Qiu Huixian felt that Xie Huan's use of this title might have some empathy.

Maybe he has some similarities with his former "Aunt Wanning"...

Qiu Huixian was not unhappy, but she felt a little distressed.

She knew that this was a deep-seated sadness in a young child's heart.

What's wrong with him missing the people he grew up with?

"By the way, aunt, daddy went to see grandpa, and he brought you a gift." Xie Huan said mysteriously: "We found it on the outskirts of the city, guess what it is?"

Priscilla Qiu guessed very seriously: "The ones found on the outskirts of the city must not be gold or silver jewelry. Could they be small animals?"

"Ah! How do you know there are small animals on the outskirts of the city?"

"I used to accompany my siblings to the outskirts of the city during the twelfth lunar month, and I saw some small animals coming out to look for food... so are the gifts small animals?"

Qiu Huixian asked with a smile, but she was very disapproving in her heart.

A person like Xie Changyu would catch a small animal and make it a gift for himself?

It might as well be said that it was a gadget caught for Xie Huan.

Xie Huan, a young boy, cleverly borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, saying they were for himself.

Xie Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "No."

"what is that?"

"I won't tell you... Auntie, don't worry, Uncle Lei has sent someone to sort it out, and it will be delivered to you later."

Qiu Huixian raised her eyebrows slightly, and she really felt a little curious in her heart.

She thought about Xie Changyu's temperament, wondered what Xie Huan and the others had on the outskirts of the city where they were racing, and guessed at the gifts.

There are still gifts that need sorting out.

Could it be that he killed something and skinned the animal, so he needs to tidy it up——

wrong.

It takes some time to process the hide.

Xie Huan said that it would be delivered later, and it would definitely not be animal skins.

If it's not a small animal, what could it be?

Xie Huan looked at Qiu Huixian with some interest, and his smile became even brighter, "Auntie, you can't guess." (End of Chapter)
