Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Cai Wei always had keen hearing. Upon hearing the noise from next door, she got up and walked out, peering over the neighboring wall. Seeing that Aunt Zhou had just finished sending Uncle Zhou and Jiujin back, she called out, "Aunt Zhou!"

Aunt Zhou was startled upon seeing Cai Wei, jumping as if she’d seen a ghost. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wei’er, what are you doing here?"

Cai Wei laughed and said, "I was bored in the capital, so I thought I would come back and stay here for a few days. You’re not going to mind, are you, Auntie?"

"You silly girl, listen to you. How could I mind? To be honest, I thought that after you went to the Capital, I would not see you in this lifetime."

As she spoke, her voice began choking up, and she lowered her head to wipe her tears.

Seeing Aunt Zhou shedding tears, Cai Wei quickly stepped out of her own courtyard, took a few steps to enter the Zhou family courtyard, grabbed Aunt Zhou’s hand, and said cheerfully, "Auntie, I was just teasing you. I didn’t mean to upset you and make you cry, I deserve to be punished!"

Aunt Zhou glared at her and said, "You really do deserve to be punished. You come back without a word and quietly move into your old room. Don’t you know the town isn’t safe these days? If something happened to a girl like you staying alone at night and if..."

Stopping abruptly, she simultaneously smacked her lips, spitting out several "Bah bah bah" sounds.

"Look at me with my crow’s mouth. As soon as you return, I speak such unlucky words. Wei’er, don’t be offended by your aunt!"

Cai Wei laughed, "In my heart, Auntie, you’re just like my mother. How could I be mad at you?"

Upon hearing Cai Wei’s words, a tinge of melancholy tinged Aunt Zhou’s smile.
