”Wan Er, come over and sit at mother's side.” Madam Yang waved his hand, gesturing for Nangong Waner to sit by the side while he weakly paced his way.
Madam Yang slowly asked with a loving tone, ”Wan Er, how have you been recently?”
Nangong Waner was completely confused. Did her father and mother call her over just to see if it was warm or cold? Stealthily sneaking a glance at his father, the look in his eyes flashed with guilt? Nangong Waner did not dare to express too much, and said slowly: ”Thank you mother for remembering, your daughter is much better now.” He thought to himself, if she could eat and drink, don't waste money to buy any tonic medicine, it would also be fine if he could save money to raise her next month's money!
In the end, Madam Yang couldn't help but say it out loud, ”Wan Er, your father was originally a citizen of Jincheng City's Shiyuan County. He had studied hard for ten years to get his name and was only able to get the position of Zhongshu Officer because of the Lord Assistant Minister's appreciation. But your grandmother is already used to living in the countryside, so she came to this Shangjing to avoid suffering from the soil and water, and is no longer willing to live with us, but our parents are still here, so there is no reason for us to not filial out. I will discuss with your father about you going to the countryside to stay with your parents for a period of time to fulfill our filial piety for us. ”
Nangong Waner was completely confused. He had gone to find a sickly daughter, and his parents had also left with a healthy second daughter, Nangong Ruyu. Therefore, Nangong Waner remained silent for a long while.
Madam Yang looked at his daughter's silent face, afraid that his daughter would misunderstand his words, and anxiously asked her: ”Wan Er, where your grandmother is, the mountain and the water is beautiful, if you go there, your body will definitely benefit a lot.”
At this moment, Nangong Yi also saw his wife's predicament. Seeing Nangong Waner's silence, he said dryly, ”Butler Wang, go and pay a hundred silver coins to the infirmary to get some good tonics for Wan Er.”
Nangong Waner glanced at the slightly twitching face of the butler Uncle Wang and thought of how Ju Xiang was only talking about strength on the surface, he sighed in his heart, ”Father and mother treats me pretty well, I'm afraid they're going to help me recuperate.”
”Father, Mother, actually, there is nothing wrong with Wan Er's body right now, so he does not need to be nourished …” In fact, he was thinking of not wasting any more money, but rather increasing his pocket money!
Madam Yang cried as she heard this, ”My son is so sensible! Mother has let you down. I've made you suffer so much all these years. ” How could Nangong Yi endure this? He hugged Madam Yang and cried as well, ”Airu, don't cry. Daughter being so sensible is our fortune. I will definitely work even harder for you guys to live a good life!” Madam Yang looked at Nangong Yi and nodded happily.
Nangong Waner rubbed his forehead speechlessly, ”What do I do? ”Originally, the Zhongshu Officer Mansion was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Now, another hundred silver taels have been thrown down …” Thinking about that, his eyes became soft, looked at Madam Yang, then looked at Nangong Yi and said, ”Father, mother, don't worry, I will properly show my filial piety in front of grandmother, and also take good care of myself.”
In less than two days, Nangong Waner sat on the horse carriage and went to Jin Cheng Shi Yuan County.
However, their second daughter was angrily smashing things in the room. Nangong Ruyu felt that because of Nangong Waner regaining his consciousness, she had stolen his limelight, causing his parents to not care for him much, and thus, they were already in a bad mood. He also heard that Nangong Waner had spent a hundred silver taels on her treatment, and angrily smashed things, ”Life is really hard, I have been a bottomless pit since I was young!” Nangong Ruyu was extremely resentful.
Nangong Waner naturally did not know of this, and with an incomparably heavy heart, went to Jin City's Shi Yuan County.
