When the carriage arrived at the capital, the city gate had already closed. However, with a tool like Xiao Duye around, the city guard did not dare to not open the city gate for them.
After entering the city, Xiao Duye parted ways with the Wei family’s carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting first sent Jing Yi back to the Marquis of Weiwu’s Estate, then rushed home without stopping. However, the wheels broke halfway.
Without a word, Su Xiaoxiao rode a horse and rushed into the snow.
The night was completely dark, and the last family on the street hung its lanterns.
The three little ones were led by Li Wan, Madam Lan, and Madam Jiang.
The border was so far away. It would take at least two months. It was impossible for Seventh Sister-in-law to rush back so quickly.
Just as they led the three little ones across the threshold, there was the sound of hurried hooves on the street, right on the heels of which was a call that they had been waiting for dozens of days.
“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu!”
Hearing a familiar voice, the three little ones suddenly turned around.
Su Xiaoxiao tightened the reins and got off the horse.
“Mother!”
The three little ones retracted their hands and ran down the steps towards Su Xiaoxiao.
“Be careful!” Madam Jiang shouted.
Xiaohu fell.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and caught the little guy who almost rolled down the steps.
She looked at his red eyes and quickly asked, “Did you hurt yourself?”
Xiaohu choked and shook his head.
At this moment, Dahu and Erhu pounced into her arms.
Su Xiaoxiao knelt on one knee and hugged the three children.
The three of them couldn’t hold back their tears anymore. They didn’t wail. Big golden tears just fell silently with the feeling of heartbreak.
Su Xiaoxiao’s heart ached.
She hugged them tightly and wanted to say that she was back, but her throat was blocked and she could not say a word.
The eyes of the three sisters-in-law turned red.
Li Wan wiped her tears and urged with a choked voice, “Alright, alright, let’s go into the house first. It’s snowing heavily outside. Don’t freeze.”
Su Xiaoxiao touched their hands. They were indeed frozen, and their faces were red from the cold. Xiaohu’s ears were also frostbitten.
The three of them looked behind her.
She smiled and said, “Are you waiting for Daddy? Daddy will be here soon.”
As she spoke, she looked at her three sisters-in-law. “Second Sister-in-law,
Fourth Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law, the carriage broke down halfway. Wei Ting is in the carriage.”
In front of the children, she did not say that Wei Ting was injured, but the three sisters-in-law understood Little Seven’s character. If Little Seven could ride a horse himself, he would have returned long ago.
Li Wan held the handkerchief and said, “Alright, I’ll get someone to pick him up immediately!”
Madam Jiang said, “Second Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law and I will pick Little Seven up. We’ll be quick.”
“That’s fine.” Li Wan nodded and pulled Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. “You must be tired from the journey. You’ve lost weight. I’ll get someone to prepare dinner. You guys go first.”
Wei Xiyue had been coughing recently. Matriarch Wei had ordered her not to go anywhere, so Wei Qing was taking care of her in the house.
The children stopped causing trouble, and Old Madam Wei was as lonely as snow.
Suddenly, she heard three small chattering voices. She suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Her granddaughter-in-law had been gone for too long. The three children were so depressed that they were almost mute. How could they still speak excitedly?
Then, she saw Su Xiaoxiao walk in with the three children.
The three wilting little fellows were jumping around again. Their small chests were raised high and they were extremely arrogant!
Dahu said, “Great-Grandma, Mother is back!”
Old Madam Wei was both angry and amused. “That’s right. Your mother is back. Are you happy now?”
The three little ones raised their chins. “That’s right!”
Xiaohu said, “A child with a mother is a treasure. A child without a mother is like glass (grass)!”
Old Madam Wei glared at the little fellow. Who treated them like grass? Weren’t they all treasures at home?
When Su Xiaoxiao returned, the three little fellows were visibly happy. They were in the mood to mess around and began to tear down the house.
Old Madam Wei’s temples throbbed. “Aren’t you guys a little fast? You were still sighing in the morning. Why are you so…” Clang!
The copper basin on the shelf was knocked over.
THUD!
A chair was brought down.
Creak—creak—
The three of them were playing with the window lattice again.
Old Madam Wei closed her eyes. “Alright, go make a fuss. It’s much better than your little puppet appearance. Children should make more noise. How can you be lifeless all day?”
She was not an unreasonable elder.
Clang!
Her antique blue and white porcelain shattered..
Old Madam Wei was speechless!
When Wei Ting arrived at the residence an hour later, Matriarch Wei had already been defeated by her three energetic great-grandsons. She pulled the blanket over her head and fell asleep.
Wei Ting went to Madam Wei’s courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao had just come with the children and left not long ago.
Madam Wei thought that Su Xiaoxiao had returned. She turned around and realized that Wei Ting was standing at the door.
Madam Wei’s eyes trembled. She subconsciously stood up and wanted to walk
towards her son.
However, she had just taken a step when she lost her courage.
“I heard you were injured.”
She said softly and slowly sat down again. “Come and sit down.”
Wei Ting sat down opposite her.
Madam Wei had neglected her son for too long. Although she had no choice, their relationship was already distant. From time to time, it would be so easy for all the barriers to disappear.
“How are your injuries?” she asked.
“They’re fine,” Wei Ting said.
Madam Wei looked at his pale face and did not say anything else.
Wei Ting asked, “How have you been recently?”
His tone was very polite.
Madam Wei lowered her eyes and picked up a half-made sachet. “I’m fine.”
Wei Ting looked at her without blinking. “I came to look for you so late because I have something to tell you about Father.”
When Madam Wei heard this, she instantly looked up at him.
Wei Ting said, “Five years ago, Father escaped from Helian Ye. He might still be alive.”
Click.
The sachet in Madam Wei’s hand fell to the table.
Wei Ting said calmly, “Mother was the last to know about Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Sixth Brother, but I think you should be the first to know about Father.”
Madam Wei said with a calm expression, ‘Where… is your father now?”
Wei Ting shook his head. “I’m not sure yet.”
Madam Wei held back her red eyes and said calmly, “I understand. Thank you… for telling me first.”
Wei Ting stood up. “I’ll go back first. Mother, rest early.”
After he left, Madam Wei raised her head and closed her eyes to force back her tears.
“Wei Xu, are you still alive?”
“Wei Xu, where are you?”
Wei Ting returned from Madam Wei’s courtyard. After lying back on the bed, his mood was a little heavy and sad.
However, he was only sad for three seconds before he was shocked by a terrifying demonic cacophony.
The three little ones ran in excitedly. Each of them held an instrument in their hands, kicked off their shoes, and climbed into bed. Then, they surrounded their father and began to dance.
The gong was struck! The suona was blown! The erhu was played! They swayed their little heads…
Wei Ting, who was about to be sent to the sky muttered, “You guys are my good
sons… “
