Grandma Xie frowned: "Hang it. We have to make more preparations over there. After all, we have benefited from others, so we have to do something."
After finishing her words and walking a few more steps, Grandma Xie paused: "Just remember, the reason why I agreed to help suppress the second child was mainly because I thought about you growing up together! That expert back then also I said it, if the eldest brother wants to get ahead, he can’t let the second and third sons be proud. If it weren’t for you, my old lady wouldn’t have taken this step.”
Mrs. Gao quickly said yes and said a few words of loyalty, and Xie Grandma continued to move forward with satisfaction.
Mrs. Gao supported her, but she felt extremely disdainful.
Why do you suppress the second wife just for the sake of the first wife? She doesn't believe it!
It's obvious that the old woman is greedy for the money given by others, and she doesn't want to bear the crime of harming her own son.
When Grandma Xie returned home, she felt a little tight in her chest.
Thinking back to the time when the second child was born and the words of that expert, I felt more and more that the second child could not be allowed to prosper.
There was nothing wrong with her body in the past, and even if she did, it was mostly just an act.
But after her second child went to Fucheng to study, she often felt palpitations, and occasionally suffered from insomnia at night and lacked energy, so she firmly believed that Xie Xiuwen could not take part in the examination.
Grandma Xie only thought about her getting worse and worse, but she didn't think about how someone who had insomnia at night could be energetic during the day.
Furthermore, don’t you have any idea why you have insomnia at night?
Aren’t you doing a lot of shameful things, and are you afraid that others will find out?
As for Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou, they visited Fucheng for two days in a row and didn't go out on the third day.
Even if Xie Rongzhao found it novel, her small body would still be unable to bear it.
If I don't take a break, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick.
When Xie Rongzhao got up after taking a nap, he always wanted to go to Hutongkou to try the newly made Yunpian cake from the store.
"Brother Jingzhou, I'll go with you. The cloud cake is delicious only if it's freshly made."
Most people like to eat cloud cake after it has been cooled, but Xie Rongzhao prefers it freshly baked, and she likes to eat it hot.
"It's so hot that it's not cool, be good, other people's business is different from our own home."
In the past, when Liu Ruolan made it at home, she would cut some of it when it was warm, but maybe it was because it was not cooled, so sometimes it would not be cut so well.
"Then let's go and take a look. If you can cut it, cut it. If you can't cut it, then I'll wait on the side."
Cheng Jingzhou laughed, how greedy is this little guy!
Fortunately, it was not far away, so Cheng Jingzhou took her there anyway.
Master Wu followed him with a knife, but he couldn't let anything happen to the two young masters.
Cheng Jingzhou was only three years older than Xie Rongzhao, but he was taller. Xie Rongzhao could barely reach Cheng Jingzhou's chest.
Xie Rongzhao just passed the gates of two houses and was unwilling to leave anymore. He just tugged on Cheng Jingzhou's sleeves, and he understood that the little darling didn't want to walk, so he picked her up lovingly.
"Brother Jingzhou, have you ever hugged other little sisters like this?"
Cheng Jingzhou was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "I don't have any sisters myself, but I have hugged two little cousins before, but they were still young at that time, and I haven't hugged them since they could walk."
Xie Rongzhao nodded, feeling very satisfied.
Cheng Jingzhou's grandfather moved here because of the drought in the north. At that time, Cheng Jingzhou's father was already a young man of eleven or twelve years old.
Cheng Jingzhou's mother is not from the south, so her temperament is more cheerful and straightforward than the locals. Perhaps because of this, the heights of Cheng Jingzhou's family are more eye-catching.
Cheng Juren is more than eight feet tall, half a head taller than Xie Xiuwen.
Logically speaking, Xie Xiuwen, a true southerner, is already outstanding for his height, but Cheng Juren is even more majestic.
Cheng Jingzhou held Guabao in his arms and walked steadily, which was related to the fact that Master Wu usually taught him how to fly martial arts.
The two of them said they were going to the alley entrance to buy cloud cakes. Since they were all out, it was impossible to just stare at one shop.
Look at this store, then go to that store, and before you know it, you have visited more than a dozen shops.
Xie Rongzhao was taken to the second floor by Cheng Jingzhou. She sat obediently at the table by the window, and then looked at Cheng Jingzhou who was choosing jewelry.
Cheng Jingzhou was also on a whim, thinking of finding one or two outstanding pieces to give to his mother, so as to save her from teasing him for only remembering the little darling.
Xie Rongzhao watched for a while and then began to think about something. It was obvious that her eyes were distracted, and she didn't even notice that the waiter poured her a new cup of tea.
When she was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves outside, she subconsciously went to pick up the tea cup so that she could drink the tea to calm down her shock. However, the cup was too hot, so she waved her hand...
The cup was thrown directly out of the window, and a very clear smashing sound was heard the next moment.
Not only the sound of shattering, but also the cold and hard sound of weapons colliding, which was a bit scary.
Cheng Jingzhou put down his jewelry and came over to see her: "Is your dear baby okay?"
Xie Rongzhao shook his head, then the two of them looked at each other and looked out the window at the same time.
The window was open, so it was easy to see the fighting scene outside.
Xie Rongzhao wanted to look more carefully, but Cheng Jingzhou covered his eyes: "Don't look, be good!"
Xie Rongzhao didn't struggle. She knew that brother Jingzhou must be afraid of scaring her.
"My dear, we will go home soon. We are not going anywhere today."
"Yeah, I listen to brother Jingzhou."
The sound of fighting outside gradually stopped, and heavy footsteps were heard. It seemed that some officers and soldiers had arrived.
When Cheng Jingzhou saw that the fighting outside had stopped, he poked his head out again, and happened to meet a pair of sharp gazes. He felt a little scared in his heart.
Master Wu came upstairs: "Master, there is nothing going on outside. Let's go back first."
"Well, do you know what happened?"
"I heard that someone came to assassinate an adult, but the entire army was wiped out."
Cheng Jingzhou nodded. He was still young after all, and his fingertips were trembling involuntarily.
The two tidied up for a while and were about to leave when they heard heavy footsteps getting closer and closer.
Cheng Jingzhou's heart tightened, and naturally he immediately thought of the teacup that was accidentally thrown out by Guobao. Could it have hit the adult?
The person who came was a guard, who looked like a young man.
"Who just threw the tea cup?"
Cheng Jingzhou's heart tightened: "Return to your lord, I did it accidentally just now. If I disturbed you, please forgive me."
No matter how stupid Xie Rongzhao is, he still understands that he is taking the blame for her.
"Brother Jingzhou lied. I obviously threw the teacup out. At that time, brother Jingzhou was looking at jewelry with the shopkeeper, far away from the window."
