Chapter 490 - 488: Thank You
Qi Jiaer held Qi Younian’s hand, his face lifted eagerly as he looked up at his own grandfather, following Ye Xinyan’s words, he said, "Grandpa, aunt has been doing well, taking good care of sister, Brother Sanshun, and me."
Qi Younian smiled warmly as he looked at his grandson. "Is that so? Our Brother Jia must be obedient and well-behaved, the lady must like a child like you the best."
Qi Jiaer nodded continuously. In the blink of an eye, he saw a playmate from the same village, Xiao Si, stalking around not far from him, staring at him without blinking. Qi Jiaer’s eyes lit up too, and he beckoned to Xiao Si.
Xiao Si looked around stealthily and then slipped over to Qi Jiaer’s side, followed by two little tails.
Qi Jiaer leaned in and whispered close to Xiao Si’s ear, "Today I’m going to be with grandpa, so we won’t have time to play together. Come find me tomorrow, and we can play together. I’ve brought gifts for you, all kinds of fun things."
Elsewhere, several women stretching their necks in the crowd had been planning to inquire about the lady they caught a glimpse of on the carriage just now, curious to see what the difference was between a noble lady from the capital and the wealthy ladies from the county town. They didn’t expect the family to go straight home, thus missing their chance to see for themselves and immediately let out disappointed sighs, one after another.
A young married woman couldn’t help but take half a step forward and call out to Ye Xinyan, "Ye Zi, is the lady who came with you your mother?"
Ye Xinyan looked over and saw it was a newlywed wife from the village, who had talked to Ye Xinyan several times when bringing grass. At the moment, she was looking at Ye Xinyan with a face full of curiosity, stealing glances at the carriage that Madam Yin was taking, and the dozen or so guards surrounding the carriage as they began to move.
