Xie Hushi glanced at the little girl and suddenly laughed: "Alright, I’ll listen to Xiaoxiao. I’m not worried. Your Brother Atai will certainly return safely."
Murong Xiaoxiao, with dimples showing, laughed even more joyfully. But as her big eyes shifted, she lifted them again: "Auntie, Sister Aya has been gone for so many years now. Has Brother Atai not forgotten her?"
Ah! Xie Hushi couldn’t help but sigh: "Aya was a good girl. Not forgetting is understandable."
Murong Xiaoxiao’s eyes flashed: "But..."
However, Xie Hushi patted Murong Xiaoxiao’s hand and turned to walk back, clearly not wanting to ntion the subject anymore.
Murong Xiaoxiao bit her lip, quickly chased after her, and helped the old madam into the house.
Just as they entered and hadn’t sat down yet, urgent footsteps sounded outside, then the butler hurried in: "Madam, the village master has returned."
Murong Xiaoxiao was the first to show a smile, with a hint of girly shyness.
"Quickly, let that boy co over." Xie Hushi’s face suddenly darkened, "He went out for so long this ti, does he still see as his mother?" But the laughter in her eyes couldn’t be concealed.
"The village master went straight to Dapu East Village." The butler looked troubled, "He only sent Xie An to deliver the ssage that the madam need not worry."
"What?" Xie Hushi’s face truly turned sour, "What’s he doing going there?"
The butler shook his head: "This old servant doesn’t know." Actually, the village master was injured and went to seek treatnt from the Divine Doctor, but to keep the madam from worrying, this was kept hidden. But really, if they wanted to keep it a secret, why didn’t he just finish seeking treatnt and then return to talk? Announcing it now only puts this butler in a difficult position.
"Call Xie An in."
"Xie An gave the notice and then followed the village master, so he’s not in the manor."
"This..." Xie Hushi suddenly felt quite frustrated, stood up abruptly, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Dapu East Village."
"Oh my dear madam, please don’t go." The butler hurriedly stepped forward two steps, "If the village master knew you were traveling back and forth, it would break his heart."
Murong Xiaoxiao also quickly smiled: "Auntie, Brother Atai is a man of great deeds, a fad hero in Jianghu, and manages such a large manor. Surely he has lots of affairs to handle, you must support him."
Xie Hushi’s temper finally cald considerably: "Alright."
"How about I go find Brother Atai?" Murong Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, "I can also ride and know martial arts. It won’t take too much ti, and by then I’ll surely bring Brother Atai back."
"You’re really too considerate." Xie Hushi held Murong Xiaoxiao’s hand, "When Atai returns this ti, I’ll have you two married."
"Auntie." Murong Xiaoxiao’s neck flushed red with shyness.
"Our family relations, honestly, have beco quite distant over so many twists and turns. But I like you, such a well-behaved girl, having you around brightens my mood." Xie Hushi sighed, "Although Aya was a good girl, life still has to go on. Moreover, Aya used to like you too, so if you marry Atai, I believe Aya would be happy."
Murong Xiaoxiao’s eyes reddened: "Rest assured, I will certainly take good care of Brother Atai for Sister Aya."
