Chapter 567: Extra - Six: Yu’er
Yu’er felt conflicted in the last couple of days. Her mother had sent a letter, stating that her grandfather would bring her back to the Capital City when he returned. The problem wasn’t just about returning to the city, but her mother hinted in the letter that they would no longer let her stay in the countryside long-term. Only her elder brothers and the youngest brother would take turns to accompany their elders here.
She didn’t want to leave this place. Not just because there are plenty of dogs and birds here, but she also couldn’t bear to leave her great-grandfather, grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandmother, and maternal grandfather. Moreover, her grandmother’s belly was already quite large. She was eager to see what her baby uncle or aunt would look like when they were born. Whether they would be as small as her siblings were when they were born. Even though both her great-grandfather and maternal grandmother had said so, she still didn’t quite believe it. They were adults, how could they be so small?
Nevertheless, she missed her mother, father, sister, brothers, little sister, and Prince He, silly Li Xuan, and her third paternal grandmother dearly. Even though Li Xuan was no longer a dimwit, she liked calling him that way. After all, he always called her ’little wife’ whenever he saw her. Li Xuan took joy in it, believing that he was given special treatment by Yu’er, which set him apart from others.
Instead of joining her second brother in the backyard of Fu Garden, she went towards Lu Garden accompanied by a tinge of sadness and reluctance, and a puppy named Fan Fan. Whenever she felt unhappy, she would go to her maternal grandmother’s house. Her maternal grandmother’s laughter alone could instantly cheer her up.
Fan Fan was a three-month-old puppy, the son of Chou Chou and Bai. Chou Chou now stays with Bai, Wang Cai, and Yuan Bao at her maternal grandmother’s house; Gun Gun, Er Huang, Chang Chang, and Duan Duan were in Capital City; Zhui Feng and Sasa were in Fu Garden; and Jin Bao, Jin Bei, Qi Qi, and Hui Hui, who all had wings, were hopping around everywhere.
Upon seeing her granddaughter arriving alone with tears in her eyes, Mrs. Wang immediately took her into her arms and asked, "What’s wrong with Yu’er? Did you have a fight with your brother?"
Even if they did fight, Yu’er would have won because her brothers didn’t dare to fight her. If they did, they’d be punished by the old master and Marquis Yong’an.
Yu’er shook her head and shared her feelings of sadness and reluctance.
Mrs. Wang had known for a long time that Afu would bring Yu’er back to the Capital City. She thought that since Yu’er had grown up, and Marquis Yong’an and Mrs. Luo were on good terms again, it was time to let her return to Yong’an Marquis Manor to receive proper education. Moreover, Mrs. Luo, being pregnant at such a ripe age, would find it strenuous. Afu didn’t want her to put in the extra effort to look after Yu’er. Although Yu’er was a girl, she was much clingier to people than Yu or Ming were.
Despite her attachment to this cheerful granddaughter, Mrs. Wang still agreed with Afu’s decision.
