Lin Sen looked at him and pointed at Granny Yue angrily. “Father, you don’t believe me every time. You only believe this bad old woman. Do you know that she even stabbed me with a needle? It’s useless for me to complain. You won’t believe me.”
Lin Sen pulled up the sleeve and pointed at the subtle marks on his arm. “She stabbed me previously.”
When Mr. Lin heard Lin Sen’s accusation, he was filled with regret. He was so angry that he kicked Granny Yue and shouted, “Drag her away and search her room. Chase her out of the Lin family.”
The servant dragged Granny Yue away. Soon, he came out with a pile of things and a bag of silver. He said to Father Lin, “Master, these were all found in
Granny Yue’s room.”
Box Novel.comMr. Lin saw various precious items and things left behind by Lin Sen’s mother.
Mr. Lin looked at Lin Sen apologetically. He didn’t know how many times Ah Sen had suffered under her hands all these years. No wonder he had always been so thin.
“Ah Sen, what do you want to eat? I’ll bring you to eat.”
Lin Sen glanced at him. “When Sir is on vacation, I’m going to the Intoxicated
Immortal Restaurant to eat an ice bowl. I also have to treat Zhou Chenxi and
Lin Haoran to a meal and bring it to Little Loach and the others.”
Mr. Lin rubbed his son’s head and nodded with a smile. “Alright, we’ll invite them along.”
When Zhou Jia returned from the government office, he told Li Yu that Chu Yuhao would go to the Wang Family Village with them to dig sweet potatoes the next day. He even asked them to bring Yangyang along.
Li Yu asked Zhao Cai to bring Auntie He, Auntie Zhang, and Little Loach to the house at the Wang Family Village to tidy up and prepare some food. She also asked Liu to prepare some buns to welcome Chu Yuhao.
The next morning, Li Yu’s family arrived at the entrance at the appointed time and waited. After more than a quarter of an hour, an inconspicuous carriage arrived at the door. Chu Yuhao lifted the curtain. Beside him sat a little boy who was about four or five years old. He was looking at Li Yu and the others curiously.
Chu Yuhao waved at them and said, “Jiahe, Madam Li, there’s no need to be so polite. Lead the way!”
“Yes.” After Zhou Jia and Li Yu bowed, they brought the family into the carriage and slowly left the city towards the Wang Family Village.
Yangyang said to Li Yu and Zhou Jia, “Father, Mother, he’s the emperor and lives in the palace.”
Zhou Jia didn’t expect Yangyang to remember. He smiled at Li Yu and instructed, “Don’t tell others. Just know it in your heart.”
“Yes!” Yangyang made a sewing gesture near his lips.
Li Yu said to Zhou Jia, “Is that child the Empress’? Why have I never seen the Empress?”
Zhou Jia said in a low voice, “That’s His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that the Empress’s health is very poor. After giving birth to His Highness the Crown Prince, she rarely leaves the palace and rarely sees guests. His Majesty might have established the position of Crown Prince after three weeks because of this.’
Li Yu nodded and guessed why Chu Yuhao had brought the child out to meet her family.
In the carriage, Chu Yuhao said to the crown prince, “Yao’er, that was Lord
Zhou just now. Daddy will bring you to his manor to play.”
Chu Yao looked at Chu Yuhao and said, “Yao’er knows Lord Zhou. Father said that he has a very smart little child at home.”
“Yes, hang out with him. If you like him, I’ll bring him into the palace to study with you.”
“Yao’er understands.” Chu Yao nodded.
When they arrived at Hengshan Town, Zhou Jia stopped the carriage and walked to Chu Yuhao’s carriage to report, “Third Master, do you and Young Master need anything here? There’s a shop in town that makes good buns.”
Chu Yuhao smiled and nodded. “Alright, let’s try the buns in town.”
When the group arrived at the bun shop, Steamed Bun Liu had already prepared buns, roasted chicken, and made pickled vegetables and fish.
Steamed Bun Liu felt that it was about time. He stood at the door and waited for Zhou Jia’s family. He looked out a few times before seeing a team of carriages coming over. He saw Zhou Jia get out of the carriage, before walking to the carriage behind to respectfully welcome an extraordinary man.
He smiled and went forward. He bowed and said, “Lord Zhou, Madam Li, this benefactor, please sit inside.”
Zhou Jia smiled and cupped his hands at him. “Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu.”
Steamed Bun Liu smiled happily. “You’ve always been so busy. I can’t even invite you!”
Everyone went upstairs and sat down. Yangyang went forward and bowed to
Chu Yuhao. “Chenxi greets Uncle.”
Chu Yuhao smiled and asked, “Do you still remember who I am?”
Yangyang smiled and nodded at him. “I remember. You’re the uncle who helped me punish the little fatty and even gave me a toy.”
“Not bad. He’s a good child.” Chu Yuhao laughed when he heard that. Zhou Jia and Li Yu smiled awkwardly.
Chu Yuhao said to Chu Yao, who was leaning against him, “Go! The two of you go play together.”
Yangyang reached out to Chu Yao and said, “Let’s go to the backyard. There are grapes in the backyard. Let’s go pick grapes.”
The granny who had followed them looked at Chu Yuhao anxiously. Chu Yao also looked at him. Seeing this, Chu Yuhao said to Chu Yao, “Go! Don’t run too far.”
Yangyang led Chu Yao to the backyard. When they reached the grape rack, he pointed at the bunches of purple-black grapes hanging on the rack and said to Chu Yao, “Have you picked grapes?”
Chu Yao looked at the grapes curiously. “The eunuch and granny know how to pick them. I’ve never picked them before.”
“You’ve never plucked it before! In that case, wait for me below later. Take a look at which one you like. I’ll help you pluck it and give it to you.”
“Okay.” Chu Yao looked at Yangyang and nodded with a smile.
Ling’er took the scissors and handed the high stool to Yangyang. She smiled and said, “Yangyang, I’ll help you pick grapes.”
“Yes, thank you, Sister Ling’er.” Yangyang climbed onto the high stool and pointed at the grapes on it. He said to Chu Yao, “Have you selected?”
“I want that bunch.” Chu Yao pointed at the string above Yangyang’s head and shouted.
Yangyang picked up the scissors and cut off the bunch of grapes. He placed them in the saucepan Ling’er was holding. Ling’er picked one and placed it in her mouth to taste it. She felt that it was not bad. Chu Yao walked around under the grape rack and chose a few more bunches. Yangyang helped him pluck them before coming down from the high stool.
Ling’er picked up the grapes and placed them in his hand. “Young Master, are you eating them now? I’ll help you wash it.”
Chu Yao looked at the grapes in his hand and nodded. He followed Ling’er to the kitchen and looked around curiously. Ling’er scooped a ladle of water and poured it into the wooden basin. She washed the grapes and handed them to him. “Eat! They’re very sweet.”
In the palace, it was always others who tore off the skin and picked out seeds for him to eat. Ling’er let him eat, so he picked one and placed it in his mouth to chew a few times. He didn’t even spit out the skin and seeds before swallowing it.
Yangyang laughed at the sight. After picking a grape and eating it for him to see, he grinned at him. “You have to spit out the skin and seeds like I did. That’s how you eat grapes.”
Chu Yao smiled in embarrassment. “I didn’t know the grape skin was a little bitter. ”
‘My mother said it’s only delicious if you prepare it yourself. When we go to the farm later, we’ll go fishing with Brother Loach and the others and dig sweet potatoes to roast.”
“Where are you fishing? In the pool in the garden?” Chu Yao asked curiously.
‘What’s the point of fishing in the garden pool? Let’s fetch a wooden basin and go to the ditch to fish. It’s very fun..”
