The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 132 Homesickness

That day, Yunxi was wearing a light blue dress and strolling in the courtyard as usual.

The sun shone brightly on her, but she didn't feel warm at all. Instead, her heart felt as if it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, making her feel blocked and inexplicably worried.

She walked slowly, step by step, and finally arrived next to a rockery.

Yunxi leaned over and slowly sat down. Her eyes were staring straight ahead, her expression empty. It was unclear what she was thinking about, as her thoughts had long since drifted off to somewhere else.

Cui'er, the maid beside her, blinked her big eyes and stared at Yunxi.

Seeing Yunxi like this, Cui'er began to wonder in her heart, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

After hearing this, Yunxi sighed slightly, moved her lips, and said slowly: "Cui'er, I suddenly thought of my relatives in modern times."

When Cui Er heard this, her brows furrowed tightly, her face was bewildered, and she quickly asked, "Modern times?

Madam, why doesn't Cui'er understand?"

Yunxi finally realized that she had let something slip, and quickly waved her hands, saying, "Forget it, forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."

After saying that, Yunxi closed her eyes, and scenes from the modern times emerged in her mind.

At that time, I was still a busy doctor, walking around the hospital in a white coat.

The concerned eyes of parents and the hearty laughter of friends seem to be right in front of me.

Yunxi opened her eyes, her eyes slightly red.

She raised her hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, her voice choked with sobs: "I don't know if they are doing well."

At this moment, a breeze blew by, ruffling Yunxi's hair. The hair danced wildly around her face, but Yunxi seemed unaware of it.

Cui Er hurried forward, her steps quick and hurried, muttering, "Madam, don't be too sad. Perhaps this is fate."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently fixed Yunxi's hair. Cui'er's hands, although delicate, were still slightly rough at the knuckles from years of hard work.

Yunxi stood up, her body swaying as if she was not standing firmly. She looked up at the sky, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness. "Cui'er, do you think I can still go back?"

The sound was as light as a feather, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

Cui'er didn't know how to answer, so she bit her lip, frowned tightly, and could only stand aside silently.

She twisted the corners of her clothes in front of her, looking helpless.

Yunxi didn't wait for Cui'er's response and continued walking on her own. Her steps were a little unsteady and she stumbled as she walked.

The light blue skirt swayed with her steps, like a cloud floating in the wind.

Unconsciously, Yunxi arrived at the study of the Marquis's Mansion. She stretched out her hand and pushed open the door, and the door hinge made a creaking sound.

When she walked in and saw the shelves full of books, she was filled with emotion.

"There are not so many ancient books in modern times." Yunxi said softly.

Her voice echoed in the quiet study, appearing particularly clear.

She picked up a book at random and flipped through a few pages, but couldn't read a single word.

The book in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Yunxi's grip loosened and the book fell to the ground with a "pa" sound.

Putting the book down, Yunxi walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. The prosperity and tranquility of the Marquis's Mansion seemed so unfamiliar to her at that moment.

"How did I get here?" Yunxi murmured.

Her brows were twisted into a knot and her face was full of sorrow.

At this time, her son Zhiyuan walked in. Zhiyuan was still a little boy, walking briskly, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Mom, you are here."

Yunxi came back to her senses, her eyes were dazed for a moment, and then she responded, "Zhiyuan."

Zhiyuan noticed that Yunxi was in a bad mood, "Mom, is there something bothering you?"

Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Zhiyuan, I suddenly remembered some things from the past, things that don't belong here."

Zhiyuan blinked his eyes, looking confused, "Mom, I don't understand."

He scratched his head, his little face wrinkled.

Yunxi smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay if you don't understand." After that, her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head, and slowly walked out of the study.

Yunxi came to the garden, where the flowers were in full bloom, red and pink, competing for beauty.

But she didn't even look at it, she just sat down on the stone bench, staring blankly as if she had lost her soul.

At this time, my daughter Meng Qi came over skipping and jumping, "Mom, what's wrong with you?

You look so bad." Meng Qi blinked her big eyes, her face full of concern.

Yunxi looked at Mengqi and sighed, "Mengqi, Mom just suddenly misses home."

Meng Qi asked in confusion: "Home? Isn't this Marquis' Mansion our home?"

Yunxi shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's not this home, it's another home, a home that none of you know about."

Meng Qi held Yun Xi's hand, her small hand clenched tightly, "Mom, no matter what, you still have us."

Yunxi felt warm in her heart and reached out to touch Mengqi's head, "Yes, and you too."

At night, Yunxi lay in bed, tossing and turning like a pancake, unable to fall asleep.

She simply stood up and walked to the window in her thin clothes. She leaned her hands on the windowsill and stared at the bright moon in the sky.

"I wonder if the moon is also this round nowadays." Yunxi muttered to herself, with deep sorrow in her voice.

Just then, the prince strode in.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" the prince asked in a low and gentle voice.

Yunxi turned her head, her eyes slightly red, "Your Highness, I..." The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know where to start.

The prince walked over to Yunxi, opened his arms and embraced her, patting her back gently. "I've heard everything. Don't think about it anymore. Now that it's here, let's make the best of it."

Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms and nodded silently.
