Chapter 772 - 371 Departure_1
On the thirteenth of the twelfth lunar month, Yixiu sat on the kang bed looking at account books, with three guards lined up beside Liang Sisi’s little bed. Someone came to report that the Qian family had sent someone.
It was Madam Song, who served Pan Yue. Her expression grave, she kneeled slightly to Yixiu and said, "Great Aunt, our Great Lady asks you to return at once, Old woman Qian is unwell."
Yixiu was startled, "What happened? Didn’t they say a few days ago that my great-grandma’s health was improving?"
Madam Song said, "Yes, because..." She hesitated, her face turning red as she added, "Great Aunt will find out when you return."
It seemed there was some reason that the servants could not mention.
Yixiu hurriedly got off the kang bed and draped over herself a purple flipped fox-fur cloak.
Seeing their mother was about to leave, Cheng and Xin both ran over and clung to her legs, shouting, "Let’s go out and play, let’s go out and play."
Yixiu squatted down to coax them, "Mommy is not going out to play; I have things to do. If you come with mommy, what about your sister? Should she be left alone with only Monkey Panpan for company?"
Monkey Panpan, ever the clever one, heard this and ran to stand by the door, opening its big round eyes wide at the little brothers, a clear threat in its gaze.
