Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 264 About to Face
Just when Lian Dongzhiye felt that his companion was too rude and wanted to warn him, he heard Hong Xiaoduo respond calmly: "That's not the case. I don't usually need it in a fight. I have more opportunities to use this."

She reached out and tapped the whip at her waist, then thought for a moment and decided not to tap the bag of stones at her waist.

I'm not that familiar with the other party, so there's no need to go into so much detail.

Chang Yuanlu wanted to say something, but Dongzhi pulled him away: "Okay, you're all sweaty, go wash up quickly."

"He speaks without thinking. Miss Hong, please don't take it to heart with him." Yan Qian apologized quickly.

Even though the other person is much younger than him and is a young woman, she is still his wife's benefactor. Whether she is good at martial arts or not, whether she wears a sword for show or not, that is her own business.

Besides, who said that people who don’t know martial arts can’t carry swords?

Yan Qian thought that after returning home this time, he must remind the old butler to keep Chang Yuanlu in the mansion and never let him go out again. With his careless mouth and his words without thinking, it would be a small matter to offend people, but if he was not careful, it would cause trouble.

It's fortunate that the young lady in front of me is a well-traveled woman with a good temper, otherwise, if it were another woman, who knows what would happen.

While the two were talking, Hua's eyes were always looking towards the guest room. Soon, Kaiyang, who had taken a shower and changed into dry clothes, trotted out, with Niang following behind him.

Hua held Kaiyang's hand and walked out. Niang walked to the side of Hong Xiaoduo and whispered, "Mrs. Hong, please tell Young Master Kaiyang later that I can wash his changed robe. I wanted to wash it just now, but he refused to say he would wash it himself and was almost angry with me."

Hong Xiaoduo smiled and responded: "It's okay, I will wash his clothes, and he can wash them himself."

"Miss Hong, you are all here for my wife. You can leave small things like washing clothes to me, a maid." Niang was unwilling to continue the discussion.

Hong Xiaoduo originally wanted to say that the child should exercise and do his own things, but she suddenly remembered that Kaiyang was her lady's son, and before long, after she had settled this matter publicly, Kaiyang would be their little master, and in the future, chores such as washing clothes would naturally be done by the maids.

It's really inappropriate for the grandson of a second-rank minister to wash his own clothes.

"Okay, I'll talk to him later." Hong Xiaoduo agreed.

While letting out a sigh of joy, Niang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if the Madam saw Young Master Kaiyang washing his own robes, she would be so distressed that she might even snatch them away and wash them herself!
For breakfast, we had meat buns and chicken soup wontons. Seeing Kaiyang eating the buns with great relish, Hua Shi even ate one more.

The few people who came from the Wei Mansion actually noticed in the morning that their wife did not get enough rest, but at the same time they also found that the wife seemed to have cried this morning, but she was in a very good condition. Thinking about it, it should be the credit of Miss Hong and Young Master Kaiyang.

Therefore, they were even more grateful to Hong Xiaoduo and the others. Yan Qian and Dongzhi deliberately warned Chang Yuanlu that he should be careful with his words in front of Miss Hong, or try to speak less!
Chang Yuanlu was very unconvinced, but since his two companions warned him seriously at the same time, he didn't dare to take it lightly. He could only mutter in his heart, "Miss Hong doesn't mind, so why should you two grown men be so picky?"
After breakfast, we returned to the inn, packed up, and set off.

Inside the carriage, Niang placed the dried fruits, snacks, and fruits she had just bought on the small table.

Kaiyang saw that Hua's mood had recovered, so he thought about memorizing the book, but Hua was chatting with him and he couldn't help but respond, so he didn't finish memorizing the book.

Kaiyang secretly glanced at Hong Xiaoduo's face and saw no sign that she was angry because he didn't study and memorize the lessons. He felt relieved and decided in his heart that he could memorize the lessons while lying in bed at night.

During the rest of the journey, no matter whether it was departure, resting on the way, or choosing to stay in an inn, Hong Xiaoduo never spoke up to interfere.

Everything was arranged by the Wei family.

It was not bad. The two guards of the Wei family who came later did not act like they did on the day they first arrived, eager to take their wives and rush back to their mansion in the capital immediately.

So, there was no rush along the way.

Hong Xiaoduo also realized that Hua was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, but on the other hand, Hua felt sorry for Kaiyang.

Hong Xiaoduo felt very emotional. Even when Hua knew that there was a child in the capital who might be her biological son, she was still so kind to Kaiyang. Could it be because of their blood relationship?

The journey was smooth and in a blink of an eye it was the afternoon of the ninth day, and we arrived at Linjing City, which was still half a day's journey from the capital.

The closer to the capital, the more prosperous it is. The few inns close to the main street only have dormitories.

If I had followed Chang Yuanlu, I wouldn't have gone to the inn and would have been on my way directly. I would have probably reached the capital by midnight.

However, Hua refused, saying that he was tired and wanted to stop and rest. So he continued to look for an inn. Finally, he found an inn on the back street. There were two top-class rooms and a few empty bunk beds.

It was Hua who said she was tired and wanted to rest, but after finding an inn, she did not rest there, but took Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang shopping.

Hua Shi and Niang Niang walked in front, and Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang followed behind.

"The beef noodles here are delicious. Would you like to try it?" Hua pointed to a roadside restaurant and asked Hong Xiaoduo.

"Okay." Hong Xiaoduo agreed immediately and walked into the restaurant holding Kaiyang's hand.

Chang Yuanlu, who was following beside him, muttered to himself, "Is it possible to eat again after having just had lunch half an hour ago?"
"Shut up right now. I didn't ask you to eat. Do you not want to work in the mansion anymore? Are you complaining about the master's decision?" Dong Zhi, who was closest to Chang Yuanlu, finally couldn't stand his nagging anymore and warned him in a low voice.

There were not many customers in the shop at this hour. Only Hua Shi, Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang sat down and ordered two bowls of beef noodles.

It’s not that we don’t allow Niang and the others to eat together, it’s just that they said they couldn’t eat any more.

The reason why he ordered two bowls was because Kaiyang himself said that he was not very hungry and it would be a pity if he couldn't finish the rest, so he just asked Hong Xiaoduo and Hua Shi to give him some from their respective bowls.

Hua felt distressed when she heard this, but she also thought that the child was very sensible, so she did not insist on saying that she had no shortage of money.

After the mixed noodles came up, Hua Shi and Hong Xiaoduo each picked some for Kaiyang.

The noodles were very chewy, the beef was very fragrant, and there was fried chili on the table, so Hong Xiaoduo scooped a large spoonful and mixed it in. The taste was really amazing, but for Hong Xiaoduo, the only regret was the lack of coriander.

"Madam, did you often come to this shop to eat?" Hong Xiaoduo asked casually.

Hua smiled and said, "I've only been here once, with Tong'er's father. That time, we returned home three days after getting married, and he brought me here to eat when he returned from my parents' home.

Seeing that I like it, he will bring some back for me to eat if he passes by here later on business."

"Oh, they are so loving." Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but teased.

It was rare to see Hua mention her husband, and the smile on her face at this moment was like that of a shy girl.

However, Hua really married a good husband. It had been several years since Tong'er's accident, and Hua had not gotten pregnant again. She took the initiative to propose to him to take a concubine, but he actually disagreed. It was rare to find such a man in ancient times.

Hua Shi did not respond to Hong Xiaoduo's teasing. After the three of them finished their meal, Yan Qian had already paid the money.

Hong Xiaoduo didn't act pretentiously and rushed to pay the bill. When they were eating the mixed noodles just now, Kaiyang sat next to Hong Xiaoduo, and he still sat next to her when they left the restaurant.

This was what Hong Xiaoduo had told Hua the night before. They were told to do this. Before confirming whether the child in the mansion was Tong'er, they could not get close to Kaiyang in front of others.

After all, Hua was not a girl from an ordinary family. She was also the daughter-in-law of Lord Wei. Naturally, she could understand what Hong Xiaoduo meant, so she forced herself to agree.

I took Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang for a long walk in Linjing City before returning to the inn.

Today, Hong Xiaoduo, Hua Shi, Kaiyang and Nianniang were in the same room. After they entered the room and closed the door, Kaiyang sat next to Hua Shi and read a book.

Kaiyang's idea was simple, he just wanted to make Hua happier. Hong Xiaoduo said that from now on, they couldn't be too close to Hua outside. Although Kaiyang didn't quite understand why, he just did it.

But looking at the way Hua looked at him, Kaiyang couldn't bear it.

Seeing Hua staring at Kaiyang with greed and reluctance, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't bear it, so she hardened her heart and didn't tell her in advance that Kaiyang was her biological son.

"Madam, relax and don't be nervous. Kaiyang and I will always be with you to face it." Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but comfort her.

After hearing this, Hua nodded vigorously.

At night, Hong Xiaoduo lay on her side, looking at the mother and son on the bed opposite her in the moonlight coming through the window. From this angle, she could only see Hua's figure, who was also lying on her side, facing inward, looking at Kaiyang who was innermost.

We will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and also at the Wei family. Whether the child's origin is a misunderstanding or a pawn in the plot of evil spirits, it will soon be revealed...
