Tsk, this little baby is really not fun. Why isn’t she throwing a tantrum? Why isn’t she arguing with her? As long as she dares to argue, the old lady can seize the opportunity to say more! But she acts like dough, does she really have no temper?
Old Lady Qin took a bite of the biscuit gloomily, then stared at Dong Huiying with confusion. Dong Huiying ate and drank as she should, not taking it to heart at all. Around the dining table sat a group of people with smiles on their faces, except Yun Ge who occasionally glared at Old Lady Qin.
As for Little Wuwang? Well, wearing a small bib, obediently holding the little spoon, slurping the tofu brain, eating with great relish.
After breakfast, Dong Huiying took Little Wuwang for a stroll in the back garden. The scenery in Dongdi was quite nice, the temperature was pleasant, suitable for long stays. And the air was exceptionally fresh; she had already grown fond of the place shortly after coming here.
Little Wuwang called for his mother again and again, babbling in his sweet, childish voice, always making Dong Huiying chuckle. But a child’s energy is limited; after being noisy all morning, Little Wuwang got sleepy and nestled in Dong Huiying’s arms and fell asleep.
Dong Huiying held Little Wuwang, intending to take the child back indoors, but as she took a step forward, she suddenly saw darkness before her eyes. Her body swayed, and she instinctively tightened her hold on the child in her arms. She thought to herself, it doesn’t matter if she falls, but she can’t let the child get hurt.
She had already ntally prepared for a hard fall, but suddenly, a cane hit her waist. Not too hard, but it lifted her up and helped her steady her posture to stand upright again.
Turning to look back, she saw Old Lady Qin in a towering rage. "You young people, how can you be a mother? If you let my little Wangwang get hurt, you’d better believe the old lady won’t let you off lightly!"
Dong Huiying laughed out loud, "Old Lady, you’re really harsh on the outside, tender on the inside." If the old lady hadn’t helped her just now, nothing would have happened to the Little Wuwang, but she would have been a ss, falling hard, probably leaving her back bruised all over.
The old lady’s face flushed red: "What nonsense! Fine, fine, if you’re weak, just sit down and don’t wander around in this bright sun."
Nearly forcefully taking Wuwang from Dong Huiying’s arms, the old lady hurriedly walked away with the child. But shortly after, a servant, suppressing a smile, ca over with a tray towards Dong Huiying sitting under the pavilion. "Madam, the old lady said you were overheated and dizzy, and she ordered the kitchen to prepare so cooling sweet soup for you."
Dong Huiying smiled slightly, "You better be careful, watch out the old lady will bla you for gossiping."
The servant laughed heartily, then seed to open up: "Madam has just arrived, seems unaware, the old lady is a good person, the Qin family are wealthy rchants, and also benevolent rchants. The family tradition is very upright, she seems stern, but hasn’t scolded less, at most just for pleasure, saying a couple of sharp words, but if sothing happens, she protects those close to her."
Dong Huiying nodded in agreent.
The servant continued with the chat, and said, "And don’t bla the old lady, when Young Master Xuan ca to Dongdi, he was thin as a stick, he would throw up whatever he ate, and his spirits were poor. Later, it was the old lady who dedicated a lot of effort, buying various supplents to help Young Master Xuan nourish his body. But the earlier depletion was too much, after Little Wuwang was born, Young Master Xuan, due to his poor health, laid in bed for more than two months, and then spent half a year recuperating before completely recovering his health."
