Chapter 34: Eating a Reunion Dinner Next Door
Xu Jin's arms were empty, and when he was asked about his income, his face suddenly darkened.
In the past, as long as his face was slightly gloomy, Princess Chaoyang would take the initiative to admit her mistakes and coax him. But this time, Xu Jinhuai's face was gloomy for a long time, but Princess Chaoyang didn't ask a single question, and it seemed as if she didn't notice.
Xu Jinhuai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "Don't worry, Qing'er, it will be delivered to you soon."
After saying that, Xu Jinhuai left, shaking his sleeves.
Now that Princess Chaoyang has regained the emperor's favor, he still has to coax her a little.
A moment later, the maid from the old lady's yard came and said that the old lady's condition had not improved. She went to see a well-known doctor in the afternoon and the doctor was still under treatment. There was no need to wait for her for the reunion dinner in the evening.
It was also said that Xu Junyue also felt stomach discomfort in the afternoon and accompanied the old lady to see the miracle doctor.
Almost at the same time, the servant of Xu Linyue's yard came to inform that there was an emergency in the military camp and Xu Linyue had already returned to the camp and would not be able to have dinner with Princess Chaoyang in the evening.
After the servant in Xu Linyue's yard left, Xu Nianyue's maid also came and said that Xu Nianyue had made an appointment with her sisters to go to the night market in the evening and would not be eating at home.
[Medical treatment? Urgent matter? Night market? Damn, these people are just a bunch of liars! ]
[They were clearly having a reunion dinner in the courtyard of the outer room next door.]
[I feel so sorry for my mother, she is surrounded by ungrateful people! ]
[Curse this group of people, all their lies will come true! ]
[Humph, dare to bully my princess mother, I draw a circle and curse you! ]
Princess Chaoyang listened to her daughter's thoughts without any emotion on her face, because she no longer had any affection or expectations for these people. All she had was hatred in her heart.
It's just right that they are not here, so I can have a relaxing reunion dinner with the people in the yard.
In the house next door.
The old lady sat on a chair, holding Xu Ruyu in her arms, her face full of kindness.
"Ruyu, come and take a look at the new dress your grandmother had made for you. Do you like it?"
Xu Ruyu smiled with her eyebrows curved, as if to express her affection, but she was annoyed to death in her heart and couldn't help complaining to the system.
"System, what's going on today? Why are so many people running to hug me? Even they are tired, I am."
[Host, today is the winter solstice, the day for the whole family to have a reunion dinner together. ]
"Is that so? Judging from the situation, everyone in the princess's mansion has come to our house to have a reunion dinner?"
[Yes, host. Only Princess Chaoyang and Xu Yaoyao are left in the Princess Mansion now.]
"It seems that my father and mother are really in love, and our family is very harmonious."
"Unlike that Princess Chaoyang, a mistress, she deserves to be alone."
The system didn't know how to answer, so it chose to remain silent.
Seeing that the system stopped talking, Xu Ruyu continued to ask: "By the way, system, I am almost one month old, why haven't I been transferred to the princess's mansion yet?"
"According to the original book, wasn't I swapped out to live in the princess' mansion to enjoy a good life right after I was born? How long has this been delayed?"
[Host, I don't know about this either. Perhaps our time travel caused the plot fluctuations.]
[But please rest assured, host, any abnormalities will be rejected and put back on track. You will always be the heroine of this world, with your own aura of heroine. ]
"Useless system." After Xu Ruyu finished cursing, he ignored the system.
The old lady's voice was still in his ears, "Huai'er, look, Ruyu is really smart. She can even understand what I say." Xu Jinhuai walked to the old lady and said, "Mother, didn't I tell you that Yu is the reincarnation of a fairy? On the day she was born, a strange phenomenon of all things reviving appeared around her. Naturally, she is different from ordinary children."
The old lady's expression became even more excited. "It seems that our ancestors are blessing our Xu family. They actually let the gods reincarnate into our Gu family."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Jinhuai and continued, "Huai'er, you must move Ruyu to the princess's mansion as soon as possible and officially write her into our family tree. This is a major event that will bring honor to our family."
Even Xu Nianyue followed suit and said, "Yes, Dad, please quickly switch my little sister over. I don't want to call Princess Chaoyang's daughter my little sister every day."
Xu Junyue and Xu Linyue also expressed the same view.
Xu Jinhuai was a little embarrassed, but still agreed: "I understand, I will continue to think of a way."
Yu Yue'er and Xu Ruyu were very happy when they heard Xu Jinhuai's words. As long as Xu Jinhuai didn't give up, Xu Ruyu would have the opportunity to become the legitimate daughter of the princess.
"Mother, husband, the food is ready, come and eat."
Yu Yue'er sensibly took Xu Ruyu from the old lady's arms, handed her to the wet nurse next to her, and then personally helped the old lady to sit down.
Yu Yue'er is not only the daughter of the old lady's best friend, but also very smart and sensible, making her the most satisfactory candidate for daughter-in-law.
If Princess Chaoyang had not suddenly appeared, Yu Yue'er would have been the mistress of their Xu family now. How could she have fallen to the point of becoming a concubine?
Whenever she thought of this, the old lady felt guilty towards her old sisters.
She patted Yu Yue'er's hand and said, "Come, Yue'er, sit in front of me."
"Yes, mother." After Yu Yue'er sat down, she carefully put all the dishes that the old lady liked into the old lady's bowl.
The old lady was even more satisfied with Yue'er.
However, after taking just a few bites, the old lady felt unbearable abdominal pain.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Yu Yue'er noticed the old lady's abnormality and asked hurriedly with concern.
"I don't know what happened. I suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain." The old lady said with difficulty.
At this time, Xu Junyue suddenly cried out, "Dad, Mom, my stomach hurts so much, oh, it hurts so much that it almost kills me."
Xu Jinhuai's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stood up and supported the old lady and said, "Is there something wrong with the food?"
After saying that, he quickly said to the servant: "Quick, prepare the carriage and take the old lady and the third young master to see the doctor."
Then, several people hurriedly carried the old lady and Xu Junyue onto the carriage. Xu Jinhuai personally followed the carriage and accompanied the old lady and Gu Yuanhao to see the doctor.
Not long after the carriage left, Xu Linyue's servant came running to report: "Sir, sir, General Gu wants to see you and asks you to return to the barracks immediately."
Xu Linyue looked at Yu Yue'er and said with a guilty look on his face, "Mom, General Gu asked me to return to the barracks immediately. Military orders are as strong as mountains. I'm afraid I can't continue to have the reunion dinner with you."
Yu Yueer nodded and reminded: "Be careful and pay attention to safety."
"I understand, mother." After Xu Linyue said this, he quickly left with the servant.
Suddenly, she, Xu Nianyue and Xu Ruyu were the only ones left in the room.
She glanced at Xu Nianyue and said, "Hurry up and sit down to eat. Don't get hungry."
Xu Nianyue kept hearing Xu Jinhuai's words: Is there something wrong with the food?
She didn't dare to continue eating it, otherwise she would have to see a doctor like her grandmother and brother.
