Chapter 328 Return to the General's Mansion
Early winter season.
The south is still green, but Shengjing is already covered with endless fallen leaves, and the view is bleak and desolate.
Today, the long-dormant General's Mansion was decked out in festive attire. A long red carpet was laid out at the entrance, festive red lanterns were hung, and firecrackers were hung on both sides of the gate. Servants ran in and out, all of them smiling and laughing.
The general's mansion began to clean up three days in advance, waiting for the masters to return home today.
Upon learning of the general's movements, Qin from Yong'an Marquis's mansion came to the house early this morning to wait for her daughter and grandson. Xie An also couldn't wait any longer and was now eagerly waiting.
"Coming! Coming, coming!"
The servants who had been waiting at the city gate came riding in to report the news. The servants outside the gate were all in high spirits, craning their necks and standing on tiptoe, eagerly waiting.
When the motorcade appeared at the corner of the street, servants immediately lit firecrackers and started making noise by beating drums and gongs.
Everyone saluted the carriage in unison.
"Welcome General and Madam back home."
Su Li helped Pei Heng get off the carriage, and behind them, the wet nurse held Pei Le, Li Ma brought Xi Jie'er, and Aunt Lu and others got off the carriage in a large group.
"Congratulations, General and Madam, on the birth of their son!"
"Congratulations, General, on your recovery!"
At the gate of the mansion, everyone congratulated loudly again.
Amid the lively sound of firecrackers, Pei Heng couldn't hide his joy and said with a smile:
"Okay, everyone will be rewarded."
"My son! You are finally back!"
Qin rushed over with a smile, holding Su Li and looking at her left and right.
"I met my mother."
Su Li and Pei Heng both saluted.
"Okay, both of them are fine, mother is relieved."
Seeing Su Li's face soft and rosy, and full of energy, even more radiant than before giving birth, and seeing Pei Heng standing beside her daughter, Qin finally felt relieved, knowing that he had been ill and recovered in the south.
"Quick, quick, let me see my darling grandson!"
Qin took Pei Le from the nurse's arms and saw that he was chubby and chubby. Despite the commotion, he didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, he opened his big round eyes wide and looked at everything curiously. Qin was amazed and praised him repeatedly:
"Good boy! You're handsome and brave! Good, good, you inherited your father's courage and your mother's beauty, good! Good! Hahahahaha!"
Qin held the child and laughed happily.
Xie An rushed forward and saluted Su Li, but his eyes were darting around in the team.
"Hello, Aunt Su, hello, Master! Aunt Su, Master, where's my brother Huan? Why can't I see him?"
Su Li patted Xie An's shoulder,
"I'll tell you later."
"Oh." Xie An's eyes showed obvious disappointment, but he quickly ran towards Xi Jie'er, "Pei Xi, you've been gone for so long, I missed you so much! Did you miss me?"
Xi Jieer smiled and glared at him, then raised her head and said:
"Who missed you!"
"Not at all?"
"no!"
Xie An felt even more disappointed, and his expression became deflated. Xi Jie laughed loudly, kicked him and said:
"I'm kidding! I brought you a lot of gifts. Let's go and take a look!"
"Okay, let's go!"
The two children happily played together, and Pei Heng also helped Su Li walk inside.
"Ma'am, be careful with the steps."
Su Li smiled and said, "I'm already well again. I'm fine now. You're still protecting me like a porcelain bottle."
Pei Heng helped her up the stairs, hugged her and said:
"I am willing to protect you forever."
The general's mansion was cleaned from top to bottom. Looking at the familiar plants and trees, Su Li said softly:
"Finally home."
……
Nanshe.
Qin held Su Li's hand, expressing her endless sorrow for parting.
Su Li was very selective in what she told about the events in the south, but of course, she only reported the good news and not the bad news. When it came to Huan Ge'er, she said that he had not been found yet.
The main reason was that Huan Ge'er's identity was quite sensitive, and he was with Princess Mingmin of Dali. Su Li was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would make up stories about him.
Everyone told the public that after being attacked by bandits, Brother Huan'er's whereabouts have been unknown ever since.
Qin couldn't help but shed a lot of tears.
This grandson is very talented and talented in both literature and martial arts, and she really likes him.
"Look carefully, you will find it eventually."
Qin said so comfortingly.
Fortunately, Su Li gave her a legitimate grandson who was equally smart and likable, so she soon put her worries behind her.
Speaking of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, she sighed softly:
"Everything was fine after you left. Mother helped to take care of some matters at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. I had hoped that with Zhe'er and Ci'er's return, we could live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly... Oh, Li'er, mother really regrets not listening to you and hastily begging Ci'er to find a wedding for Zhe'er. Unexpectedly, they still couldn't be together. Not long ago, mother just helped Zhe'er deliver the divorce papers."
Su Li comforted:
"Mother, it's already happened. What's the point of complaining and regretting? I think they can handle their own affairs. Don't worry, mother. But you really have to be wary of Xu Jing, mother. She was the one who instigated you to get married for Azhe. She didn't have any good intentions. After Aci married into the Marquis' Mansion, Xu Jing didn't treat her well, either openly or covertly."
Qin's expression was gloomy. She wiped her eyes awkwardly and said, "Speaking of Xu Jing,
"I know you two haven't gotten along since you were little, but it's really pitiful that Jing'er lost her mother at such a young age. Besides, Jing'er hasn't been well lately."
"What happened to her?"
Qin told Xu Jing about seeing a ghost and said:
"For the past month, her condition has been recurring, and she's lost a lot of weight. She's been to many doctors, but not only has her condition not improved, she's become even more confused. She keeps saying there's a ghost in her yard. One moment she sees two white shadows standing there, yelling at her about her headache, and the next she says someone is pounding rocks in the yard, and the sound is like a watermelon being cracked open... It's really scary!"
During this month, Xu Jing was tortured day and night, and she was emaciated in no time. Even Qin Shi was tortured by her and complained bitterly.
Su Li sneered after hearing this:
"Mom, she must have done something bad, that's why she's so scared."
Qin disagreed, "What bad things would she do?"
But after he finished speaking, he remembered that cruel slap and was stunned for a moment.
"Mom, she's not a good person! You just have to be careful."
In the original book, Xu Jing caused the Yong'an Marquisate to suffer such a fate, and she had always been on guard. But after all, Xu Jing hadn't done anything to harm the Marquisate, so she couldn't just attack her directly.
Is Xu Jing's courtyard haunted?
She doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world.
Xu Jing must have done something to offend someone, which is why she was teased and retaliated against like this.
As long as the person who came is not targeting the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, it's fine!
Qin nodded and said, "I understand."
But Su Li knew that bystanders see more clearly than those involved, and Qin's agreement was just to deal with him.
Xu Jing always tried to please and confuse Qin, and Qin felt guilty towards her, so it was really difficult for her to truly recognize Xu Jing's face.
That afternoon, Song Ci arrived.
"Sister!"
Song Ci was dressed like a capable military commander, with her long hair tied up high. The moment she saw him, Su Li recalled the first time they met at Liujing River.
The same heroic spirit!
However, back then she was wearing her favorite color red, innocent and carefree. Now she is wearing somber, plain clothes, with a serious expression, and has become much more mature and steady.
