The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 168 She Doesn't Even Want the Emperor (2)
It was already very late when Xu Si'an returned to Xinglong Village yesterday, and Mama Sun didn't know about his going to the expedition. At this time, she heard Mrs. Xu talking about it, and she just said: "In that case, the old lady should go back first, after a while Master Hou is gone for a few days, and it would be good for the old lady to come and stay for a few more days."

Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement, glanced at Sun Yu'e who came in from the outside, and said, "You and Sister E haven't seen each other for a few days, let her stay with you for a few more days."

When Sun Yu'e heard that Xu Si'an was going to leave, she refused, took the old lady's hand and said, "Old Ancestor, I also want to go back to send off my adoptive father, he just came back not long ago..."

Mother Sun winked at Sun Yu'e, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, old lady, I also want to keep Sister E for a few more days."

The old lady went back to the room to watch the maids tidy up their things. Sun Yu'e frowned depressedly, and asked Mother Sun, "Grandmother, why don't you let me go back? My adoptive father is going to war again, and I want to see him off too. "

Mother Sun took Sun Yu'e's hand to go outside, it was still raining outside, and the people she sent to the capital hadn't returned yet, but this matter was [-]% sure, and she didn't have to keep Sun Yu'e from it.

"Sister E, don't you dislike Mr. Zhao? You live here for a few days, and I guarantee that when you go back in two days, your Mr. Zhao will definitely not be in the mansion."

"What grandma said is true? Then I have to go back and see how she got away!"

"Don't go back, lest your adoptive father take anger on you again, listen to grandma."

"I don't understand why the adoptive father turned his anger on me!" Sun Yu'e frowned and looked at Sun's mother, who just gently smoothed the broken hair on her forehead and said with a smile: "When you come out of the cabinet, I will Nature will tell you why."

It rained lightly all day, and it didn't stop until it was almost dark. Zhao Jing sat in the room for a whole day, and Yuan Shi brought her lunch in. She ate a few mouthfuls and felt that she lost her appetite again.The gate of the yard rang, and Yuan Shi braved the rain to open it, and saw Chang Shun standing at the door.

He is the coachman of Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and every time Zhao Jing goes to Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, he is the one who picks her up. When Yuan Shi thinks about what happened just now, she gets a little angry, and is about to swear, but the man speaks first: "Sister-in-law, Lord Hou asked the servants to pick Mr. Zhao back."

Yuan Shi suppressed her anger and wanted to refuse for Zhao Jing, but Zhao Jing came out of the room. She walked all the way to the door through the cold rain, and said to Chang Shun: "I'll go back with you."

The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was brightly lit, and Mrs. Xu had already returned to the mansion. Zhao Jing stood at the door and looked at the closed vermilion gate. She will not bow to power and lose the dignity of a time-traveling woman.

A woman came over to hold an umbrella for Zhao Jing, and chatted with her with a smile: "Mr. Zhao came back so coincidentally, the old lady is back today, Lord Hou is about to go out again, I don't know when he will come back after this trip. "

Zhao Jing's eyebrows twitched, Xu Si'an is going to fight?She had never heard of it.

"Master Hou is going on an expedition, when will it happen?"

"As for what happened last night, it was said that the Prince Regent was going to go, but the princess seemed to be in trouble. The Prince Regent couldn't leave, so he asked Master Hou to lead the troops."

Zhao Jing's footsteps paused twice. Since it happened last night, the matchmaker today must not have been sent by Xu Si'an. He was busy going to war, so how could he have such leisurely thoughts? As for Mrs. Xu... Zhao Jing frowned. According to how much Mrs. Xu loved Xu Si'an, how could she not think that her son was going to go to war and she was in a hurry to take a concubine for him?What the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion lacks now is a headed mistress, not a concubine who can only be used to spread branches and leaves.

Zhao Jing thought for a moment, looked at the sky, turned to the woman and said, "I'll go to Songhe Hall first, and please greet the old lady."

Mrs. Xu was already waiting for Xu Si'an in Songhe at this time. He went to the barracks early in the morning, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait to meet again. After this reunion dinner, he didn't know when the next meal would be.

Mrs. Xu wiped her tears again at the thought of this. Now she has only one son left.

"Don't be sad, old lady. I asked Chang Geng today, and he said that the south is just a rebellion by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and it's not a big deal. It won't take long for Lord Hou to come back."

Old Madam Xu nodded, and the maid outside came in and answered her, saying that Zhao Jing had come.Zhang's mother's eyes lit up, she greeted her personally, and saw Zhao Jing coming in from the Baosha with a solemn expression.

"Greetings to the old lady." Zhao Jing blessed the old lady Xu, she quietly raised her head and glanced at the old lady Xu, there was no strangeness in that person's brows full of melancholy.Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the matchmaker today was not sent by Mrs. Xu, so it will be fine.

"Mr. Zhao is back too. Let me tell you, Lord Hou is about to go out again, and he has only been back for a few days!" Mrs. Xu was about to cry when she said that. Zhao Jing helped her to sit down and comforted her softly: "Old lady, don't be sad. Lord Hou has gone through hundreds of battles and is invincible. This time, he will surely return victorious. The old lady should be happy. Lord Hou can make contributions again."
