Reborn Lady - Chapter 276
The brilliant sunset filled the courtyard, and Xiao Ning happily played the game of “the eagle catches the chicken” with the wet nurse and maids.
Yin Hui sat on the couch in the east room and watched, but her mind flew out of the city gate, thinking about Xiao Heng and Xiao Xun.
The two brothers had never experienced any hardships. The last time they planted vegetables in Taoran Hall with Wei Luo was more like playing. With Emperor Yongping going to spring plowing, the degree of hardship would definitely be different.
While waiting, the setting sun in the yard began to move towards the wall, and it didn’t take long before it couldn’t shine on Xiao Ning’s little face.
Yin Hui thought that they should have come back. Therefore, she put on her shoes, walked out of the main room, and said to Xiao Ning, “Look at your sweat, go take a bath first. Father and the others should be back later.”
Xiao Ning protested for a while but was still caught by the wet nurse.
The next moment, news came from the main gate that the Prince had returned.
Yin Hui hurriedly walked out, and when she reached the front yard, she saw Wei Luo walking in with Xiao Xun in one hand. Xiao Heng followed beside him, his face must have been wiped clean in the carriage. The robes on the outside seemed to be wrinkled, but after a day in the sun, both father and son’s faces turned red, which couldn’t be washed off in a while.
“Are you tired?” Yin Hui took Xiao Heng’s hand and turned it over to see that there were two strangle marks on the palm of the hand from pulling the ox.
Xiao Heng withdrew his hand and said with a smile, “I’m not tired, but my younger brother fell asleep soon after getting in the carriage.”
Yin Hui had seen the youngest son sleeping soundly on his father’s shoulder.
“Okay, let’s go take a bath, and eat afterward.”
Yin Hui wanted to take Xiao Xun, but Wei Luo knew that she would not be able to hold him for long, so he handed him to Chang Feng, who took him inside.
Yin Hui went to take care of Xiao Xun by herself.
Chang Feng carried Xiao Xun back to the room and then retreated. Yin Hui stood by the couch, seeing that Brother Xun’s face was also red from the sun, and his head smelled of sweat; her eyes became teary.
From Da Lang to Ba Lang, Yin Hui watched them grow up. She knew every child’s temperament. Some children must have gotten lazy. More honest ones, even if they felt tired, they would never be lazy.
Yin Hui helped her son take off his clothes, wiped him carefully with a warm towel, and then carried the sleeping child to the bed in the inner room. She instructed the wet nurse and the little eunuch to take good care of him.
She was delayed here for a while, and when she returned to the backyard, Wei Luo was already hugging Xiao Ning and talking. Xiao Heng seemed to be about to yawn, and when he saw his mother coming, he blocked it with his sleeve.
Yin Hui became even more distressed and told the maids to prepare dinner quickly.
Knowing that her son was tired, Yin Hui didn’t ask any questions at the table. She simply sent her son back to the room after he finished eating and sat by the bed all the time, watching his eyelids getting heavier by time.
“Sleep, I’ll leave after you fall asleep.” Yin Hui gently patted the quilt on her son’s shoulder and smiled softly.
Xiao Heng liked such a gentle mother, but he was so sleepy that he couldn’t hold on, so he fell asleep soon.
Yin Hui kissed her son’s little cheek, sat for a while, and then left.
Xiao Ning also went to bed, and Wei Luo had already tidied up, leaning on the bedside and flipping through a book.
Yin Hui rinsed her mouth and face silently, then sat down on the bedside and unwrapped her hair. While doing that, she asked Wei Luo about that day’s situation.
Wei Luo didn’t talk much, so when she asked her son, he only talked about himself.
She even asked about Da Lang to Ba Lang. Si Lang was weak and had a heatstroke, which was not enviable. But when she heard that Ba Lang slept well all afternoon, Yin Hui couldn’t help complaining to Wei Luo, “Xiao Xun is only two years older than Ba Lang. Even if he goes to sleep for a while, Father won’t say anything. He worked so hard. Why didn’t you make him rest?”
Wei Luo saw her red eyes when she was talking, as if their son had suffered a great grievance outside.
He explained, “I asked him, and he said he was not tired.”
Yin Hui looked at him incredulously, “He said he was not tired, and you believed it? Usually, when you ask him if he wants to play, if he says he doesn’t want to, do you really believe it?”
Wei Luo pursed his lips. Yin Hui turned her head, knowing that he was so cold, that he would not show mercy to anyone, even to his biological mother, to her, and to her sons.
Not wanting to look at that indifferent face again, Yin Hui walked over quickly, turned off several lights, then got into her bed and lay down with her back to him. Her anger was so obvious that it was difficult for Wei Luo to ignore it. But Wei Luo didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong.
Xiao Xun was already seven years old, and the seven-year-old children of ordinary people would help with all kinds of work. Xiao Xun had only been tired for a day, and from that day onwards, he would be a pampered son of the palace. Why should he feel distressed?
The couple had nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Yin Hui ignored Wei Luo. She heard that Xiao Xun’s nurse came over and said that he couldn’t get up from bed, no matter how much she coaxed. Yin Hui also voiced her own opinion, “Let him sleep, don’t bother him anymore.”
The wet nurse subconsciously looked at Wei Luo, the head of the family.
When Yin Hui saw her, she finally looked at Wei Luo, and her eyes were filled with anger, as if not receiving support for her decision would lead to a fit.
Wei Luo paused for a moment, then ordered Jinzhan, “Serve the meal.”
The wet nurse finally left, and Yin Hui looked at the eldest son sitting next to Wei Luo again, saying, “Xiao Heng, are you tired? If you are, you don’t have to go into the palace today. I will send someone to ask for leave.”
Wei Luo also looked at his son.
Xiao Heng smiled and said, “Mother, I’m not tired.”
Yin Hui couldn’t tell whether her son was really not tired or if he was too sensible. During the few years when Wei Luo went out with her father-in-law, Xiao Heng changed the most. He suddenly had the air of a big brother, able to comfort his mother and take care of his younger siblings.
After breakfast, Yin Hui took Xiao Heng by the hand and sent him out.
Xiao Heng entered the palace in a carriage, and Wei Luo rode to the Ministry of Punishment.
When Yin Hui helped her son into the carriage with her own hands, Wei Luo had already sat on the horseback. She spoke only to her son. She turned around and walked in when the carriage moved, without giving him a look.
Wei Luo grabbed the reins and set off.
