C33 (1/2)

The day that Xie Heng went to the Dijing s, the Old Madame Xie fell ill.

The mansion had suddenly lost so many people. It had already become empty, and without a backbone, it became more and more desolate.

Wen Jiu fried soup from the kitchen and sent it into Old Madame Xie's room, just in time to see Xie Zishu and Xie Zian sob quietly on the table.

”Uncle Zhang.”

Wen Jiu instructed the butler, ”Take Sixth Miss and Seventh Young Master to rest first. The kitchen has just made porridge.

Now, only the Old Madame Xie was left in the Palace bringing along the people from the Purple Sun Mountain. With such a large manor being managed by them, there were some things that Wen Jiu had to take care of himself.

”Sister Jiu …”

Xie Zi Shu ran over and hugged Wen Jiu's arm, and asked: ”Elder brother … Where did he go? Did he not want us? ”

The little girl cried until her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Wen Jiu could not bear to see this, he rubbed the little girl's head and comforted her softly, ”Brother Elder has something important to do. He will come back to pick you up after he finishes. This is what my elder brother dotes on the Sixth Sister the most. He also told me that he was going to take her to Dijing to watch a dance, and to reward her with peonies. ”

Xie Zi Shu raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and said with incomparable certainty: ”Yes, Elder Brother dotes on me the most. Senior brother will not lie to me! ”

”Then why are you still crying!”

Xie Zian sniffed, ”Elder brother said that only useless people would cry!”

The little girl turned around and fiercely glared at him. However, her eyes were completely red and swollen, without the slightest bit of deterrence.

”If you have a grudge, then you have to take it. If you can't take it now, then you have to grow up faster. There will come a day when you can!”

Xie Zian acted like a little adult and reached out to pull the little girl away. ”Let's go!”

The treasures held in everyone's hands by the Xie Family since a young age were like jade and jade. Normally, not to mention their eyes getting red and swollen from crying, even if they were to shed a tear, Old Madame Xie would still feel heartache.

But now, Wen Jiu saw them as children who were much more sensible than ordinary people.

”Uncle Zhang, you go take a look.”

Wen Jiu reminded him, Housekeeper Zhang replied ”Yes” and immediately went.

”Grandmother, let's use the medicine first.”

Wen Jiu brought the soup to the side of the bed.

Old Madame Xie closed his eyes and did not react.

Wen Jiu said in a low voice: ”Elder Brother went to the Dijing, the results are still unknown. If Grandmother is always sick, how can elder brother relax?”

Old Madame Xie opened his eyes and looked at her for a long time before he sighed and tried to sit up by the bed. Wen Jiu quickly helped her up and gave her the bowl.

The old lady finished her drink in one breath and said with a hoarse voice, ”All these years, he has been busy in the thirteen cities of Jiang An, the young master of the Xie Family is a playboy, which also means it's very lively. If this really gets out of hand, then those people will have to give him some face because of his hundred years of reputation, but his Dijing and his Changping County …”

The old lady's eyes were filled with worry, there was no need to explain further, Wen Jiu knew that throughout the generations, all the major events originated from the hands of the people from Dijing.

”Once you enter the Dijing, you will be under the feet of the real Son of Heaven, with a thousand heavy shackles and ten thousand spiderwebs. No matter how strong you are, you will lose your life here if you aren't careful …”

Old Madame Xie said in a low voice: ”Jiu, I'm really afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Heng-er to come back. ”

”No, Grandmother.”

Wen Jiu was very clear about what kind of place Dijing was. In his previous life, he had floated in there for more than ten years, but in the end, he was still unable to preserve his life.

But she believed in Xie Heng.

”Brother Yun has personally intercepted the lord of Great Jin, which is a great thing for our Great Yan. The situation right now is as though it has shifted from one moment to the next. If Grandmother can take care of her body …”

Wen Jiu suddenly stopped halfway through his words.

Old Madame Xie asked her: ”What do you mean?”
