Xie Xian had returned to the residence to wait for him for official business. Xiao Baoxin was relatively more relaxed, and it was equivalent to a public trip.
However, since she had returned to the Xie family, she did not wait for her to do whatever she wanted. After packing up, she went to the Freedom Courtyard. At this time, Xie Yan’s mother was on her lunch break, so she first sent Xie Yan back to Madam Yuan’s place.
He would also ask some questions and explain what needed to be explained.
After all, Xie Wan was about to get married, but she and Xie Xian chose to return to Xiapi at this time. All the matters in the residence were handed over to Madam Yuan. This matter itself was not very reliable.
Fortunately, they brought Xie Yan’s clan certificate and could be considered to be serious business. They could not delay any further.
When Madam Yuan saw Xie Yan, tears almost came out of her eyes.
It had only been four or five days, but it felt like four or five years. At first glance, she felt that the child seemed to have grown taller and thinner. It was as if the wind had blown him up when he was not by her side for the past few days. He looked like a big child.
What apology from Xiao Baoxin? He didn’t hear it at all. His attention was all on Xie Yan.
Xie Yan was proud of himself, and he had captured his grandmother’s heart.
This person really treated him as a sharp pain in the heart.
He returned the favor and held Madam Yuan’s hand tightly.”! miss Grandmother. I drew a picture of my grandmother to express my longing. Ignoring Xiao Baoxin, he took out a crumpled painting from his bosom. There was a big circle on it with a few lines.
Mrs. Yuan said,” This child is indeed very intelligent. His IQhas caught up, but his drawing skills are obviously not good enough.” He didn’t take after his son.
She thought so in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face.
“Ah, my Ah Yan even drew a big cake for my grandmother. Did you eat the meat pie of the clan leader’s house? I remember that there was a cook in his house who was good at making noodles.”
Then, she looked at Xie Yan’s little face and felt awkward. The corners of his mouth twitched like a little adult.
Xiao Baoxin almost burst out laughing.
She had watched Xie Yan draw this and learned it from his father. His father was playing the zither and music under the starry sky, and he was drawing there. He even picked a lamp in a very proper manner.
“This… Not flatbread?” When Madam Yuan saw Xiao Baoxin’s expression, she knew that she had guessed wrong. However, what could it be? There were still dregs beside him.
Xie Yan tried his best to remain calm as he pointed at the flatbread with his small hand.
” This is the moon. He then pointed to the dregs beside him,”This is a cloud.””
“..”Even his own grandmother could not praise him.
Although Mrs. Yuan is a grandmother, she still has basic aesthetic and conscience. This is against her heart. The child is not for him, but hurt him. It was a good thing to know his own shortcomings since he was young.
Actually, the main reason was that he couldn’t get past his conscience. It was too much of a test of human nature.
If Xie Yan hadn’t taken the initiative to reveal the truth, who would have known that it was the moon!?
How could it be a cloud?
“But didn’t you go at the end of the month? How can the end of the month be a full moon?”Mrs. Yuan shifted her attention elsewhere.
If Xie Yan was really a child, he would have been led astray. However he was already in his forties, and he could clearly see the awkward smile on Madam Yuan’s face.
If he was pretending to be a child and drawing so badly, then it would be understandable. He would not be so embarrassed.
The problem was that he hadn’t improved in two lifetimes.
He was not an all-rounder and was naturally not sensitive to painting. This was his actual level.
It was a little hurtful…
He thought that he could at least take this out and pretend to be a child’s painting. He thought that he could just suck up to Mrs. Yuan.
In the end, he now knew that even a child less than two years old would be discriminated against.
“I will continue to work hard.” Xie Yan rolled up the paper and revealed a calm face. He walked out with his head held high and chest out. He didn’t want to stay in the room with them anymore. He couldn’t take it anymore. The air was filled with fire and his face couldn’t take it anymore. It was about to burn.
Mrs. Yuan sighed and felt a little regretful. The child had said that he was thinking of her.
“I was too harsh. I should have praised the child. You too, Baoxin. If the child doesn’t live with you, you’d rather praise him more when you’re together. “In the blink of an eye, he was educating Xiao Baoxin.
This daughter-in-law was good in every aspect. There was nothing he could not be worried about.
The only thing was that Mrs. Yuan was not at ease. Her daughter-in-law was a little biased.
She had seen it all with her own eyes. Fortunately, Xie Yan wasn’t there at that time. If she had seen it with her own eyes, she would have been very sad.
Madam Yuan was loyal to Xie Yan and had thought of everything for her grandson.
However, if she were to help the mother and son and send Xie Yan back firstly she would be reluctant to do so. Secondly, to be honest, she was afraid that she’ would send him back too late. Since bias had already formed, sending him back would make Xie Yan suffer?
Hesitating like this, Xie Yan also stayed behind.
However, Madam Yuan didn’t forget about the things that she should have done on a daily basis.
“Mother, I know.” Xiao Baoxin naturally knew how Lady Yuan felt. It could be said that her mother-in-law’s heart was completely wrapped around her forty- year-old son. The only person who could shake his position now was his father Xie Xian.
Madam Yuan was Bao Niang, this point did not run away, Xie Yan was also ranked second…
She felt a little guilty towards her sister-in-law. Her daughter was her biological daughter, but she had been squeezed by her brother and nephew, so she had no choice but to be placed behind.
“Mother, don’t worry that Ah Yan won’t be able to take it. He has received a lot of praise from his clansmen in Xiapi. Even the clan leader would laugh a few times before he spoke when he saw him. It’s not wrong to say that our Xie family has him.”
“It’s the student surpassing the master.”
“They all praised Mother for teaching well.” Xiao Baoxin smiled.” Mother not
only taught Ah Lang well, but she also taught her own grandson so well.
Everyone in the clan has praise for her.” ”
How could a daughter-in-law who knew how to say these words have the strength to rampage around the Xie residence when she had just married and solve problems with her fists?
Mrs. Yuan was pleased to hear that. At least her daughter-in-law had never expressed any dissatisfaction with her grandson being raised in front of her.
Since they were talking about Xiapi, Lady Yuan was naturally most concerned about the matter of submitting the clan archive.
Although she had returned smoothly, she couldn’t let go of it until she made things clear.
Xiao Baoxin had also come to Freedom Yard to chat with Lady Yuan about how they had gone to Xiapi, how the clansmen had welcomed them, how Xie Yan had been welcomed in Xiapi, and how he had brought back two clansmen of the Xie clan. He had explained everything to Lady Yuan.
Madam Yuan nodded. She had seen Xie Shi and Xie Nan Xiang before and had
heard of their talents. They were famous in the clan.
It would be best if their son brought them back.
All along, Lady Yuan had been unwilling to interfere with Xie Xian’s actions in the court, but in her heart, she also hoped to be able to help the Xie clansmen.
After all, a good man had three helpers. It was better to use his own family than anyone else.
Moreover, aristocratic families were all like this, which was why they could be passed down for hundreds of years.
Otherwise, what kind of clansmen would they be if they were all on their own?
If something really happened, who would help you?
