Transmigration: A Farm Girl’s Brocade

This is true. Yixiu bowed and said, "Thank you, Old Fairy, for the reminder."

After leaving Linhe Garden, she saw Tiaotiao leading a tall, sturdy, gray wolf dog out of Linfeng Garden. Except for Monkey Brother, who lived in the Lianxiang Water Pavilion, the other members of the House of Animals were accustomed to living in Linfeng Garden.

Yixiu was startled and stood still, not daring to move. Uncle Jiang, the servant in charge of taking care of the House of Animals, came out from Linfeng Garden and said with a smile, "Miss, don’t be afraid. This wolf dog was brought home by Tiaotiao two days ago. It is probably the father of the pups in Tiaotiao’s belly. It’s been at home for two days and is particularly endearing to everyone."

Tiaotiao led the wolf dog up to Yixiu, nudging her leg with its head, then nudging the wolf dog’s head. Seeing this, the wolf dog also nudged Yixiu’s leg with its head and even stuck out its long tongue to give her a smiling look. This smile was as gentle and pure as a Samoyed, like an angel.

At the sight of this smile, Yixiu immediately fell in love with it. She squatted down, caressed the dog’s head, and said with a smile, "You’re so well-behaved. Welcome to our family. With such a beautiful smile, from now on, you will be called Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao still seemed a bit confused, but Tiaotiao jumped excitedly, barking at it, and the two dogs showed off their affection, oblivious to everything else.

Yixiu went to the main courtyard where Qian Sangui was sitting on an arhat bed in the hall, seemingly waiting for her. Thanks to the Red Demon Fruit, Grandfather Sangui’s health had improved significantly, with a ruddy complexion and plenty of energy. He had even braved the snowy weather to meet her outside the night before.

Yixiu walked in and, like in the past, without a word, sat down beside him, wrapped her arm around his, rested her head on his shoulder, and sometimes rubbed her face against his shoulder.

Qian Sangui patted her hand and said, "Yixiu, Grandfather knows you all want to help Jinwa and will enter the Capital City tomorrow. Grandfather is at ease with you following the Old Fairy. Our whole family will wait to return home after the New Year." He wasn’t exactly clear on the details but knew that they would deliver something from the mountain to Prince Ning. He also knew that once Prince Ning received that something, Manjiang and Jinwa would be out of danger.

Yixiu hurriedly instructed, "Do not rush to return after the New Year; wait until my father or our people come to fetch you, then you can return to the Capital City."

Qian Sangui nodded, then added, "Remember, do not leave the Old Fairy’s side. Where he is, there you should be."

Yixiu nodded in agreement.
