Chapter 397: Fu'an County, I heard that children there disappeared inexplicably
Yun Mengsi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but soon recovered as usual. She shook her head slowly, and tried to force a smile from the corner of her mouth, saying, "No, no, it's just that Xiaoyue has been making a lot of noise recently, and I'm tired."
Yun Yubing sat quietly at the side, gently playing with a piece of exquisitely crafted pastry in her hands. The pastry exuded a faint fragrance. She smiled slightly and said teasingly, "Haha, big sister, you came back in such a hurry today, why didn't you bring Xiaoyue back with you? But it's true, grandma is sick now, and Xiaoyue is still young, don't be careless to catch the disease."
After hearing this, Yun Mengsi shook his head again and explained, "That's not the case. Today I learned that my grandmother was seriously ill and Xiaoyue was still asleep. I was so worried that I rushed back in a hurry, so I didn't have time to bring her back with me."
Yun Yubing put down the cake in her hand, bowed slightly, leaned forward, and said with an expectant look on her face, "Big sister, Xiaoyue is already more than four months old. When are you and your husband going to give Xiaoyue a brother or sister? It would be so lively if there was another little one in our family."
Yun Mengsi's face froze for a moment. She lowered her head, looked at the tea in her hand, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Well, let it be."
Seeing this, Yun Yubing stopped asking questions and turned her gaze to Chu Zixi.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Xi'er, look at Xiaoyue'er, her round and tender face is just as cute as a freshly baked peach cake. When can you give me a little nephew or niece so that I can hug and play with them?"
Chu Zixi was drinking tea leisurely. When she heard this, the teacup in her hand almost slipped. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand to prevent the tea from splashing out.
But she couldn't help it and choked. She coughed violently for a few times before she slowly calmed down. Her fair cheeks turned slightly red because of the coughing, like a plum blossom blooming in winter, delicate and beautiful.
She raised her head and glanced at Yun Yubing with a hint of reproach, but a hint of teasing flashed across her eyes, and she said, "Well, cousin, why don't you tell me that you should hurry up and find a good brother-in-law, and then give birth to a little cutie of your own?"
Yun Yubing smiled awkwardly upon hearing this. She supported her chin with both hands, pretending to be innocent and pitiful, and sighed, "I haven't even seen Ying yet, where can I find the right person?"
Chu Zixi couldn't help but find it funny to see her like this. She reached out and gently patted Yun Yubing's shoulder, comforting her: "Cousin, my second aunt must be helping you, so just relax and wait for good news."
Yun Yubing nodded slightly, with a bit of helplessness in her tone, and said: "That's right, they have been choosing a husband for me, but unfortunately those people are not to my liking, they are not my type." She frowned, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Chu Zixi smiled even more when she heard this. She looked at Yun Yubing with a teasing look in her eyes, "It can be seen that Second Aunt is very anxious. Cousin, you have to hurry up and don't let Second Aunt worry too much."
Yun Yubing shrugged helplessly. She looked at the sparkling lake in the distance, her eyes filled with both expectation and confusion. "I want to, too, but fate is not something I can decide!"
Yun Yubing paused and continued, "Xier, big brother and Chu Mengting went to Chu State a few days ago. They said they would come back to get married after the New Year."
Chu Zixi smiled and said, "My cousin and his family may have to wait until the snow melts before coming back next year. It will be difficult to travel if the snow blocks the way after the New Year."
Yun Yubing nodded, "That's right."
Chu Zixi, Yun Yubing and Yun Mengsi were talking and laughing, and the cheerful atmosphere seemed to be able to dispel the haze around them.
Sometimes they whispered about the interesting things that happened recently, and sometimes they burst into laughter. In the midst of all this laughter and joy, a maid suddenly came hurriedly and reported: "Ladies, the old lady has woken up and taken the medicine. She looks much better now."
When Chu Zixi heard the news, she slowly stood up, with concern flashing in her eyes, and said, "In that case, let's go see grandma."
So the three of them walked towards the old lady's residence together.
When they arrived at the old lady's room, Chu Zixi walked to the bedside first and gently held the old lady's hand. "Grandma, how do you feel? You must rest well these days, take medicine on time, and don't overwork. I will be back soon. I am going to Fu'an County."
After hearing this, the old lady laughed and said, "Our Xier is really a miracle doctor. I feel much better now. Why did Xier go to Fu'an County when she was fine? Is there anything important there?"
Chu Zixi smiled gently and said soothingly, "Don't worry, grandma. Jun Feimo went there first. I heard that the children there disappeared inexplicably. I wanted to go and see if I could help in some way and do my part."
The old lady heard this and said, "Good boy, you are kind-hearted, but it is almost noon now, so have lunch before leaving."
Chu Zixi shook her head. "No, grandma, I still have some things to sort out. I'll come back to see you when I get back."
"Well".
Yun Yubing's eyes lit up and she said, "Xi'er, I'll go too. Take me with you. Take me with you."
The old lady frowned slightly, "Bing'er, don't be willful. Xi'er is going to do something, not to play. Don't join in the fun."
Yun Yubing curled her lips, looking unhappy.
Chu Zixi walked over, wrote a medicinal diet, shook her head and said, "Cousin, I'll take you out to play next time, but not this time."
Yun Yubing muttered, "Okay."
Chu Zixi walked out of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, got on the carriage, and walked in.
After Yuda waited for her to sit down, he drove away in the carriage, passing through the busy streets.
Chu Zixi looked out the window quietly, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, the hustle and bustle, and the various hawking sounds one after another.
At this moment, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure not far away.
"parking."
After hearing this, Yu Da's heart trembled slightly, and he held the reins tightly in his hands. The force seemed to be transmitted to the horse through the reins, causing the carriage to stop quickly and steadily with a slight sound.
She turned back with a puzzled look on her face, "Princess?"
Chu Zixi seemed to be frozen. She did not respond to her question but just stared straight ahead, her eyes revealing an elusive emotion.
