Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 405 The son is more valuable than the mother

Chapter 405: A Son's Honor Depends on His Mother

The carriage was moving slowly on the way to Prince Beijing's Palace.

The child's heart-wrenching cry filled Master Tong's ears.

He didn't know how he carried the crying Hongxuan into the carriage.

What the lady said was not without reason, but he was the head of the family, how could he let his womanly kindness ruin Bijun's happiness!

When the carriage was halfway there, he could not bear the crying of the child any more and tried several times to stop the carriage and return to the mansion.

But in the end, reason triumphed over family affection, and he suppressed his soft heart and sent Hongxuan back to Prince Beijing's Mansion.

Slowly, Hongxuan got tired of crying, and looked at Master Tong with her swollen eyes blinking.

He was like a quiet cat, lying obediently in Master Tong's arms.

His mother's words echoed in his ears again and again - Xuan'er, how could mother abandon Xuan'er!

He didn't have time to have a good time with his mother, but he had to go back!

Xuan'er raised her childish face and asked softly:

"Grandfather, if Xuan'er goes back, will my mother really come back?"

Mr. Tong didn't say anything, but he changed his usual seriousness and nodded vigorously at Hongxuan with a smile on his face.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the door curtains onto their faces.

Master Tong couldn't help but hug this patient little girl tightly. The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to one. He had already treated Bijun as his own flesh and blood!

Isn’t the one he is holding his own grandson?

It was already evening when they walked slowly into Prince Beijing's Mansion.

The servants who went with the prince to look for Hongxuan thought they were dreaming when they saw Hongxuan and Master Tong come in!

A servant who had a bit of dignity suddenly reacted and shouted at the top of his voice:

"The prince has been found, hurry up and inform the prince!"

After saying this, he leaned over again, looked Hongxuan up and down, and said softly, "Little ancestor, your father must be very worried!"

He seemed to remember something and hurriedly saluted Master Tong.

Master Tong smiled faintly at them and couldn't help but stroke Hongxuan's head with his hand, as if Hongxuan was not his grandson, but his own grandson!

The prince was resting in the room. He had been busy looking for Hongxuan recently and hadn't been able to eat well. He also had several bean-sized blisters on his feet.

Xiao Luzi was just thinking of using a needle to prick the prince's wound, applying some medicine, and it would be healed in a few days!

When the servants outside the door shouted: "Master Tong found the prince, Hongxuan is back!"

The prince put on his shoes and hurried out, leaving Xiaoluzi behind and shouting:

"Your Highness, run slower. Watch out for the blisters on your feet!"

The prince quickly ran to the front yard. When he saw Hongxuan nestled safely in his father-in-law's arms, the worry and anxiety of the past few days fell to the ground like a big stone!

The evening wind suddenly blew, and the willow branches that had just sprouted in the yard were blown all over the place.

The tender green willow branches were like soft whips, waving wildly in the air, as if trying to break free from the wind.

Master Tong saw the prince coming over and saluted him with his hands clasped together. His wrinkled old face was filled with anger at this moment!

The prince understood that his father-in-law already knew something about his affair with the first wife, and the old man was very angry!

He hurriedly returned the greeting to Master Tong and stretched out his hands, motioning Hongxuan to come to him.

Unexpectedly, when Hongxuan saw the prince, she subconsciously pushed herself into Master Tong's arms. Master Tong hurriedly lowered his head and coaxed him:

"Good boy, come and let your father hug you!

Didn't you just shout in front of your grandmother that you missed your father?"

As he spoke, Master Tong led Hongxuan towards the prince.

But Hongxuan didn't know what was wrong, even though she had clearly given instructions just now.

At this moment, he suddenly changed - at first he stood blankly behind Master Tong and refused to move, but later he burst into tears out of grievance.

Master Tong was anxious, and hugged Hongxuan in his arms distressedly and said:

"Good boy, as long as you are obedient, grandpa will come to pick you up!"

The prince had no choice but to pull Hongxuan into his arms and gently wipe the tears from his face with a handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, Hongxuan's eyes were full of flames. He picked up the handkerchief and threw it on the ground, then returned to Master Tong. He pointed at the prince and shouted:

"You are not my father. If you don't bring my mother back, I won't have you as my father!"

The air was filled with the smell of embarrassment.

There is still no clue about Bijun's matter. Now I thought it was just sending Hongxuan back to the palace, but these incidents arose.

Master Tong was already in a state of confusion. When he heard Hongxuan say this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and slap Hongxuan in the face!

Now Hongxuan burst into tears again, crying:

"I want my mother... I want my mother..."

Only then did Mr. Tong realize that he had taken out his anger on Hongxuan. What could the child have done wrong?

He leaned down hurriedly, and gently touched Hongxuan's face with his hand, muttering:

"Grandpa was wrong, Grandpa was wrong. I will never hit Xuan'er again!"

The prince hurried over and was about to pick up Hongxuan and comfort her. He smiled and said:

"Silly child, don't you know that Ama misses you?

Grandfather is old, let him go back and rest!"

Hongxuan, however, kept pushing his hand away. No matter how much the prince said, she refused to let him touch her!

It was already dark, and there was no point in making such a fuss. Even though Mr. Tong had a heart of stone, he still sighed helplessly when faced with a child of seven or eight years old.

The servant held Hongxuan in his arms, and he turned around and told the prince:

“Although he is my grandson, I love him as my own grandson!

You have three wives and four concubines, and they will all give you sons.

But Xuan'er is the only one in our house!"

Before the prince could react, Master Tong had already taken Hongxuan to the door.

The prince hurried to the door and stopped Master Tong who was about to leave, begging:

"Father-in-law, I know I was wrong!

Just tell me, how can we get the child to stay here?"

Master Tong signaled his servant to carry Hongxuan back to the carriage first. He only left one sentence to the prince:

"A son's status depends on his mother!"
