Xiao Ting got up, personally changed Xiao Xin into plain clothes, led him outside the gate, and carried him into the carriage, saying: "Xiao Shi, Seventh Aunt is seriously ill, my father asked you to go back, if you want to come, tell your father, or tell your sister, my sister will send someone to pick you up, okay?"
Xiao Xin didn't hear Xiao Ting's last words, only heard that sentence, when Qi Yiniang was seriously ill, tears fell on the shaft of the car.
"Yes, is my aunt going to another place?"
Xiao Xin's expression froze, tears streamed down her eyes, but her eyes were wide open, and her fingers were tightly knitting Xiao Ting's sleeves, as if she didn't believe it.
Xiao Ting didn't know if Aunt Qi had said something to Xiao Shi, but such an explanation was undoubtedly the best.
She tried her best to keep her smile bright, "Yes, Auntie has other things to do. Xiao Shi will be a man from now on, so she has to take care of herself."
In the end, she herself couldn't speak anymore.
Xiao Xin sniffed, then slowly let go of Xiao Ting's sleeves, wiped away her tears, bowed to Xiao Ting, and said, "Sister, Xiao Shi is going back to see Auntie first."
"Um."
For some reason, Xiao Ting originally hoped that Xiao Xin would be strong, but seeing the little person so well-behaved and strong, she felt even more distressed.
I almost cried myself.
But Lvhuo had already wiped away her tears and took Xiao Xin in.
After Xiao Ting went back, Chu Yun came out from behind the door, with her little head tilted, and ran to the housekeeper's grandpa with her calves.
"Grandpa Mu, will Xiao Xin's aunt be the same as mother and concubine, never coming back again?"
The mother concubine Chu Yun mentioned was naturally the former nine concubines of the Yun family.
Butler Mu smiled kindly at him, then patted her head again, and said, "Maybe."
"Then his father treats him well?"
Chu Yun raised his face and asked.
Butler Mu didn't know what to say. He didn't know about the affairs of Xiao's residence. After thinking about it, he explained: "There are many children in their family."
Chu Yun blinked his eyes, then raised his head and asked innocently: "Then, does it mean that his father wants to share the money with Xiao Xin's brothers and sisters?"
"Maybe!" Butler Mu was speechless, this question...
Chu Yun whispered, then ran away.
One day passed by in a hurry, until the next day, Lu Cai didn't come back with any news, Xiao Ting couldn't sit still.
"Hong Shao, what do you think of Xiao Ten's situation now?"
Hong Shao looked at Xiao Ting, as if she had changed in the past two days, and persuaded: "Princess, don't worry, if something happens, Lu Huo has sent someone back with a message, it must be very busy at the moment."
"But it was agreed yesterday that she must come with some news today." Xiao Ting always felt upset, which had almost never happened in her more than ten years of life, even when her master passed away, she was not so upset.
Hong Shao was helpless, put down the work in his hand, and said: "If the princess is worried, the slaves will go to inquire later, you can eat first!"
"Then you go now." How could Xiao Ting eat it.
For the first time in my life, I had this feeling of caring.
After Hong Shao left, Xiao Ting lost her appetite after two mouthfuls. During the period, Steward Mu came to ask for instructions, saying that someone from the palace sent a post, but Xiao Ting threw it aside without even looking at it.
In less than half an hour, Hong Shao came back.
"How about it?"
Hong Shao's face was a bit ugly, and said: "Qi Yiniang's funeral has been settled, but right now the mansion is arguing about the young master's upbringing."
"Didn't you say that according to the rules, it should be raised by the eldest lady?"
Although Xiao Ting is not happy, but this is the rule.
She was about to think of a way to let Xiao Shi come to the palace if nothing happened, so as to avoid the eldest lady.
Hong Shao was a little annoyed, "The rules are like this, but the eldest lady said that she doesn't have the energy to take care of so many children, and let Sixth Auntie take care of them."
"You also know that Liu Yiniang doesn't know a single word, and the daughter she gave birth to is not outstanding, and she is timid. Throwing the young master to her, isn't that tantamount to fending for itself? From the perspective of slaves, the eldest lady is afraid that the young master will compete with the eldest son in the future."
Xiao Ting curled her lips, "Eldest brother has the same temper as father, if the family has no children, the patriarch will be his in the future. Now that the Xiao family is as smart as Xiao Shi, you don't need to think about who will be in charge of the Xiao family in the future. What's the use of the eldest lady fighting?"
Hong Shao explained angrily, "However, with the arrangement of the eldest lady, the old lady didn't say anything. Obviously, she doesn't want to see the young master. I'm afraid it will be difficult to reverse this matter."
"Let me go, everyone in this family has brain problems, right? Let me tell you, no one wants Xiao Shi, I want it." Xiao Ting walked out as she spoke, but was stopped by Hong Shao.
"Princess, don't be impatient. Lu Huo said that the master has not made a decision yet. Besides, this matter is a matter of Xiao's residence. It is not appropriate for you to intervene. If it is really impossible in the end, it is not too late for you to come forward. Besides, the prince is still ill. It is not appropriate for you to go to your mother's house."
Although Hong Shao has a quick temper, he still knows what to do and what not to do, so he persuades Xiao Ting to come back.
Xiao Ting was annoyed, turned around and sat back down.
What a hassle, there are so many rules!
But they didn't know that the words just now were overheard by Chu Yun who had just arrived outside the door.
