"Go in and take a look!" Ye Luoxin said to Xiao Mu.
Knowing that she couldn't help with this kind of thing, Ye Luoxin leaned back with self-knowledge.
Xiao Mu asked his wife to hide behind him while he walked quickly towards the door.
As soon as he stepped in, a spoon flew over his head.
Xiao Mu reached out and broke the handle of the spoon with a snap.
"Be careful!" He turned around to remind Ye Luoxin.
At this time, everyone in the room also heard the noise and shouted in unison:
"Second child?"
"Mu'er?"
Ye Luoxin heard a familiar voice outside the door, and she quickly poked her head in. At a glance, he saw Mrs. Xiao standing in the middle of the room and King Cheng hiding behind the table.
"Dad? Mother?"
Ye Luoxin looked left and right, but for a moment she didn't understand what was going on.
"Why are you two here?" King Cheng saw that his embarrassment was discovered by his junior. He immediately stood up and asked deliberately with a sullen face.
Xiao Mu didn't take him seriously at all, and asked Mrs. Xiao directly: "Mom, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao put down the chopsticks in her hand with some embarrassment, coughed, and said: "Well, well, it's fine, nothing happened!"
"Do you need me to help you drive him out?" Xiao Mu asked again.
At the same time, he turned his attention to the prince.
When King Cheng saw his eyes, he immediately became furious: "Second brother, what's the matter with you? Do you still want to drive me away?"
"I'm sorry!" Xiao Mu looked indifferent.
"This is my mother's resting place. Outsiders should not disturb her. Please go out first."
Xiao Mu said and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing that the prince refused to move, he took action and dragged the prince out of the house.
"Xiao Mu, you unfilial son, how could you do this to me? I tell you, let me go quickly. If you let me go, hey, I will come back again!..."
In the courtyard, the prince's shouts became more and more distant.
In the room, Ye Luoxin and Mrs. Xiao looked at each other and smiled.
"It's really unfortunate that you see such a chaotic situation." Mrs. Xiao said apologetically.
Ye Luoxin was just about to comfort her when she suddenly saw two little ones coming out from under the table.
"Hey, you scared us to death. He's gone now!"
Both little girls put their hands on their hearts and patted them hard.
"Ma'am, are there enough spoons for today?"
Mrs. Xiao nodded towards the two of them: "You two go and clean up the house, and let Mother Zhang serve tea to the guests!"
"yes!"
Although the two little girls were small, they were very clever and immediately and skillfully cleaned up the mess in the house.
Ye Luoxin also heard another meaning from the two children.
"Does Your Majesty come here often recently?" she asked tentatively.
Mrs. Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"I've been coming every day since half a month ago."
Half a month ago?
Ye Luoxin thought for a moment.
Wasn't it half a month ago when he and Xiao Mu came?
Could it be that the prince followed them and found this place?
At this time, Xiao Mu also sent the prince away and returned to the house.
"Mom, how did he find this place?"
Mrs. Xiao said nothing.
Ye Luoxin looked at Xiao Mu apologetically and said, "Husband, maybe we leaked my mother's whereabouts."
"So that's it!" Xiao Mu also reacted belatedly.
He said, how could it be such a coincidence!
Mrs. Xiao had lived here for so long without being discovered, but as soon as they came, King Cheng came to find her.
"He's following us!"
Xiao Mu angrily hit the table with his fist.
"I'll go find him tonight and tell him not to come here in the future!"
"It's okay. You don't have to worry about these things. He's not my opponent anyway. I just hate him nagging in front of my room every day."
Ye Luoxin and Xiao Mu looked at each other.
Both of them recalled the scene of King Cheng hiding under the table.
Just at this time, Zhang Ma also brought tea, and Mrs. Xiao invited the two of them to drink tea.
"You said last time that you would come to see me again before leaving. Does coming here today mean that you two are leaving the capital?"
Mrs. Xiao asked.
"Yes." Ye Luoxin replied.
"It's almost the New Year. When we left, we promised our family that we would go back to celebrate the New Year. Now it's almost time."
"Yes, it's almost the New Year's Eve!" Mrs. Xiao's eyes showed a trace of sadness, "Those parents must be very good to you, right?"
Ye Luoxin: "Yeah! Mom and dad are very good to Xiao Mu, and they are also very good to me! Although my mother has a bad temper, she is very tough to others and very soft-hearted to her family members!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Mrs. Xiao smiled bitterly: "The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't treat Amu well when I was a child, which caused him to suffer a lot.
If I hadn't been so aggressive and ruthless at that time, Amu wouldn't have experienced those things later. Speaking of which, I feel sorry for him! "
"Mom!" Ye Luoxin didn't know how to comfort this mother.
If we talk about it, Mrs. Xiao did something wrong.
But who hasn’t been young?
Some things just happen, and regretting them won't solve any problems.
"Mom," Ye Luoxin thought for a while and said.
"Although my husband suffered some hardships as a child and was later forced to leave the palace,
But you see, he is in good health now, and when he stands he is half as tall as others.
Moreover, my career is successful, and many of my family’s businesses are making money.
Moreover, I am married to a good wife, that is, me. The husband and wife are quite harmonious and live a happy life. "
"Yeah!" Mrs. Xiao nodded, "As long as you live a good life, I'll be relieved!"
But the sadness on her face did not disappear, as if these words did not alleviate the guilt in her heart.
Seeing that these comforts were of no use, Ye Luoxin continued to give strong medicine.
"Mom, do you know what happened to Xiao Mu's eldest brother, Xiao Jinrong?
You definitely don't know. "Ye Luoxin looked serious.
"He did not perform well in his position as Minister of Rites, colluded with local officials, interfered in the imperial examinations, and attempted to disrupt the government. He was imprisoned a few days ago!"
"so serious!"
Although Mrs. Xiao didn't care about the children born to other concubines, she was still greatly shocked by this incident.
Seeing her moved expression, Ye Luoxin knew that she was in the right direction.
She continued: "Mom, think about it, Xiao Jamrong grew up in front of the prince and was raised by the prince.
If Xiao Mu had not left the palace, would the children who grew up next to the prince be replaced by Xiao Mu? "
"ah?"
Mrs. Xiao looked confused.
Just listen to Ye Luoxin continue to say: "In that case, the person who goes to jail today may become Xiao Mu!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Xiao Mu, who had been drinking tea quietly beside him, choked hard when he heard this.
While coughing, he turned his head and looked at Ye Luoxin in disbelief.
He saw his little wife looking at him and nodding heavily towards him!
