Chapter 1244 - 1250 Young Master Li Arrives (2)
On mentioning the phrase "reserve your grief," it suddenly touched the tender heartstrings of Xiang Yun. She pursed her lips, sorrowfully said, "If Nanny had died from sickness or old age, let it be, but she died in such a way. How do you expect me to reserve my grief?" Having finished speaking, the beads of tears were already rolling down her face.
Liu Xi tentatively asked, "The Za Family have been busy investigating the hotpot restaurant recently and haven’t paid attention to the matters at the Young Madam’s residence. May I presume to ask, how exactly did Nanny Xie die?"
Knowing Liu Xi was Cai Wei’s trusted confidant, Xiang Yun did not hide anything from him. While speaking and crying, she intermittently told him what had happened.
Hearing about the cause of Nanny Xie’s death, Liu Xi felt profoundly heavy-hearted. Although he had only met Nanny Xie once, he would never forget the scene where she fought desperately, risking her old life, against those rascals to protect Xiang Yun. Her actions at that time, like a mother with blazing eyes defending her wronged child with all her might, even knowing she couldn’t beat them but still choosing to fight—that kind of devoted nanny was beaten to death. Even he, a man with the experience of two lifetimes, found it hard to accept, let alone Xiang Yun, a fragile maiden. No wonder she was heartbroken and had fled home!
After leaving the manor, the sorrow of Xiang Yun had affected Liu Xi. He thought about his past life, full of public attention and impressive influence, and then about his reincarnation into this disabled body, where he couldn’t even perform the most basic duties of a man. His expression became lacklustre, his mood extremely low. Duke Li Guo Mansion’s Housekeeper Han, seeing his displeased face, did not dare to strike up a conversation and simply kept him company in silence. Returning to the Capital, passing by Mu’s Shen Record Shop, Housekeeper Han couldn’t help but ask, "Eunuch, we’ve reached Muji’s Shen Record Shop. Are you still going to have a drink with the shopkeeper?"
"Go, yes, why wouldn’t I go?"
Feeling unhappy, Liu Xi was just looking for someone to drink with, to pour his heart out. Reminded by the housekeeper and remembering Situ’s previous invitation, he lifted the horse carriage curtain and with a swoop, he jumped down.
After getting out of the carriage, Liu Xi turned around and said to Housekeeper Han, "Old boy, you go back. Tell your Master Li that it’s Grandpa Xi who said this: he is a blind bastard, serves him right that his daughter-in-law doesn’t want him!"
