When Ershan rushed over from the Ministry Of Justice yamen, everyone immediately knew about Lian Yi's happy occasion. Currently, the Old Madem had ordered them to address Lian Yi as Second Young Madam, and only the few servants of the Mrs. Bi still had not changed their minds.
When the news was sent to the main courtyard, Mrs. Bi was lying on his beauty bed, recuperating. Her maid by his side chattered on: ”Old Madem has brought Ling out to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. He said that the one in his womb must be the eldest grandson of Bi Family, and he has to stay in the house to rest.”
The Mrs. Bi said hatefully: ”He denies his own identity in front of the Emperor. This old fogey really doesn't care about face.”
Hanxi was outside carrying a tranquil soup for his mother to consume. Hearing his mother call his grandmother an old man, he felt very sad in her heart.
No matter what happened in the past, she had always been kind and amiable. Ever since the Brother Xingye came back, the whole house had been turned upside down without end.
But Brother Xingye and Sister-in-law were both good people, and Hanxi liked them a lot. It was not that this was not my fault, it was Mother and Father's fault.
”Miss, give it to me, go back inside the house and lie down. Otherwise, Old Madem will suspect something.” 's mother's servant girl saw that she was outside and hurriedly took the soup. At this moment, Hanxi did not want to see his mother either, so she turned and left.
On the way back, they saw that their grandmother and Brother Xingye had returned from the ancestral hall, and that there were people escorting their sister-in-law out. Their grandmother tried to urge them to stay at home, but they insisted on leaving.
Hanxi thought: ”It's better to leave, stay at home, who knows what kind of trouble we might cause.”
But Old Madem was not at ease, thinking that Lian Yi was alone, without any elders to protect him, coincidentally, today they already packed up and planned to move in, without a word, they followed them.
At this time, Ling Xiao Inn had not received any good news, there were many guests today, and they were busy all the way until the evening.
When Aunt Zhang went upstairs to take a look, she saw Xiaowan lying on the bed. Little Pei was lying beside her, and Xiaowan had a hand on her child's back.
Aunt Zhang thought happily, if Xiaowan could really stay here for her entire life, then it was really Little Pei himself who found a mother for him.
But at this moment, the sleeping Little Pei was just his mortal body. He had already turned into a Golden Dragon and returned to the Heaven Realm, while his grandmother was waiting for him in front of the great hall.
Without the usual kind eyes, the Dragon Queen glared at his grandson and chided: ”Why are you bringing Mu Xiaowan to an inn? Little Pei, do you know how difficult it is for your father to obtain the chance to be reborn?
Little Pei shook his head, ”It was Father who brought her back, it has nothing to do with me.”
Dragon Queen said: ”Since it has nothing to do with you, drive Mu Xiaowan away. As long as you don't agree to let her be your mother, your father will not persevere.”
Little Pei turned into a human and stood in front of his grandmother. He raised his head and said loudly, ”She is my mother to begin with, and he will never change. Grandmother, you saw what happened in the end when you forcefully changed my father's fate. My mother is a lotus flower in front of Buddha, if you attack again, aren't you afraid of harming my father, and even cause heavy penalties for your entire Dragon Clan? ”
Dragon Queen frowned: ”What did you say?”
Little Pei said fearlessly, ”There are many obstacles in the human world, if they can survive, it will be for a lifetime. If they can't, it will only be a temporary period of time. Grandmother, since Bodhisattva has bestowed me with memories and mana to live with them once more, then I will do my best to stop any obstructions from the Heavenly Court or the Underworld for them. Grandma, do you want to be enemies with your own grandson? ”
Dragon Queen clenched his fists. ”Little Pei, are you not afraid that your father will commit another murder and be punished for a thousand years? If you only care about your mother, then what about your father?”
Little Pei said: ”I only care about my mother, my father only cares about his wife.”
As he finished speaking, he heard his mother's voice. Little Pei bowed to his grandmother and left without looking back. Dragon Queen chased a few steps forward, only to see Buddhist light descending.
Dragon Queen clasped his fists together in salute, then said with a smile. ”I'm heading to the west, and I'm thirsty right now. I want to drink a cup of tea.”
Dragon Queen led the way: ”Please.”
The little guy woke up in a daze. She said softly: ”Little Pei, Manager Ling is outside. He wants me to wake you up and let you out.”
Little Pei exclaimed as he crawled back up. There was a puddle of water under him and his hands held onto his pants uneasily. He looked as if he was begging for help, causing people's hearts to soften.
”Thank you.” Ling Chaofeng shouted from outside the door, ”Come out quickly.”
”Daddy will spank.” Little Pei started crying and buried his face in Xiaowan's embrace as he said fearfully, ”Daddy said that I have to spank his butt if I want to wet the bed.”
It was normal for a three year old to wet the bed, and the Manager Ling was too strict with it.
Xiaowan knew a lot of things today, knew the relationship between Susu's family and the inn, knew that she had been beaten up everyday, knew that Little Pei was an infant that was abandoned outside the inn, knew that the women in the village said that it was true that Manager Ling had not yet taken a wife.
Xiaowan felt that she was imagining things again. Her face reddened as she took off Little Pei's wet pants first, but the little guy said shyly, ”I'm a boy …”
The Xiaowan tickled him while he laughed. As the two played around, he used a blanket to wrap Little Pei tightly, placed him on a chair, and then tidied up the bedding. When the Aunt Zhang came in with the food, he knew that the little guy had wet the bed.
”You're still wounded, I'll do it.” Aunt Zhang put down her tableware and stepped forward to stop him, ”This mattress is very heavy, you can't carry it.”
”Aunt Zhang, I'm fine now.” Xiaowan said, ”I can do these kinds of jobs, so it's nothing.”
”I know that you started working as soon as you were injured, as you've been doing it day after day.” Aunt Zhang swiftly rolled up the wet mattress and said, ”But there is a rule here, people who recuperate can only obediently recuperate, quickly go recuperate.”
Seeing Little Pei squirming uneasily at the side, and knowing that he was holding onto the pain, he walked to the door and asked Ling Chaofeng through the door: ”Manager Ling, can I ask you to get some hot water?”
Xiaowan was wearing sleeping clothes that were so thin that it was hard to walk out of her room. However, she really wanted to look at Manager Ling again from outside the door.
