Chapter 9 Dazzling Old Lady Luo
Mrs. Dingguo Gong passed away early, and Xiao Bi had never seen her, so she had never felt the love from her grandmother.
Although Hua Xiaohan's situation is slightly better, she was still too young when Mrs. Wenyuanhou passed away, and her impression of her grandmother is somewhat vague.
Yesterday, when they recognized their relatives, Huan Yu and Huan Ji's biological grandmother, Mrs. Xu, treated them very affectionately, and even gave them a very generous greeting gift. However, it did not make them feel friendly, and they were just perfunctory with each other.
On the contrary, it was Mrs. Luo, Huan Yu's grandmother, who made Xiao Bi and even Hua Xiaohan realize the caring and considerateness of the older generation towards the younger generation with a few simple words.
The family had a cordial meal, and the sky gradually became dark.
The Huan brothers were about to leave, but Mrs. Luo lost her temper.
"I seldom go out after my eyesight is blurred. After returning to Wuwei County this time, I may not be able to come to Tianshui County again.
If you just meet each other and leave, I will be angry!"
Luo Fengqing hurriedly said to several people: "You guys just stay here for one night and talk to grandma."
These words spoke to Xiao Bi's heart.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, General Luo must not be easy to fool, and it would be too difficult to find a breakthrough from him.
Mrs. Luo is obviously a better choice.
Besides, if we don't seize today's opportunity, it will be even more difficult for the two elders to inquire about the Luo family when they return to Wuwei County.
She tugged on Huan Yu's sleeve.
Huan Yu understood the idea and said with a smile: "Then according to my uncle's wish, we will stay here for one night and let our two grandsons and wives stay with you."
Mrs. Luo told her son with satisfaction: "Da Lang, send someone to the county government's house and bring some clothes for them. They have to go to Qiao's house tomorrow."
"Yes, don't worry, mother." Luo Fengqing responded with a smile.
Mrs. Luo said to Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan again: "I'm a little tired, so go to my room and talk."
Xiao Bi secretly rejoiced and picked up her arm with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, help you."
Hua Xiaohan couldn't understand her attentiveness.
The two had known each other since childhood, and she had never seen Xiao Bi like this many times.
Even if he is as noble as the Emperor of Wei, he has never seen her work so hard to please.
But Hua Xiaohan had to admit that Xiao Bi's flattery skills were also top-notch.
Not only did she not feel disgusted, but I also found her more likable.
This is clear just by looking at Mrs. Luo's expression.
Mrs. Luo dismissed the maid and mother-in-law, and returned to the inner house alone with her two grandsons and wives.
The Villa is not very big, covering only half of the area of Qingmo Garden.
As soon as Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan entered the second door, they saw camellias blooming all over the garden.
Mrs. Luo stroked the nearest pink camellia and said sadly: "The cold weather in the north is actually not suitable for the growth of camellias."
Hua Xiaohan glanced at Xiao Bi.
Camellia prefers warmth, and is not suitable for planting in cold places.
But these camellias in front of me are clearly growing very well. What happened to grandma?
Xiao Bi could only shake her head.
You don't need to ask to know that planting camellia in this garden must be Luo's intention.
And looking at Mrs. Luo's appearance, these camellias were most likely planted by Mrs. Luo herself, otherwise why would she be so sad?
It's just seeing things and thinking about people. When I see these camellias in full bloom, I think of my ill-fated daughter again.
Xiao Bi sighed silently.
No matter whether Mrs. Luo's life experience is as she guessed, Mrs. Luo's love for her is true.
Seeing that Xiao Bi didn't speak, Hua Xiaohan could only ask herself.
"Grandma, my father also likes camellias very much, but the ones in my house are not as beautiful as these."
Mrs. Luo retracted her hand and said warmly: "These camellias were planted by Brother Yu's own hands. She had just turned twelve years old at that time and was younger than the two of you."
Hearing that these camellias were grown by the Luo family who had died many years ago, Hua Xiaohan did not dare to ask further.
Xiao Bi's brows wrinkled slightly.
She always thought that Luo and Duke Huan met in the military.
But she planted camellias here when she was twelve years old. Could it be that she once lived in Tianshui County?
Based on the friendship between the Huan and Luo families, if she lived here, it would be impossible for her to have not been to the Duke's mansion, let alone to meet Duke Huan.
It’s really driving me crazy!
Who exactly is Brother Huan? Everything about her is so mysterious that it makes people confused.
She took a deep breath and then said: "Grandma, grandpa is the guard of Wuwei County. How could my mother live in Tianshui County when she was twelve years old?"
Mrs. Luo said: "I am from Dongjun. When the late Emperor Chongwu was in power, he went on conquests everywhere. Your grandfather followed the old county in the expeditions, so there was no peace.
It wasn't until Yu Geer's mother was twelve years old that I brought my children to reunite with him.
Wuwei County was in a mess at that time, and the General's Mansion had not yet been built, so we had no choice but to buy this house in Tianshui County to settle down."
"Then..." Xiao Bi also risked his life: "Did mother know father at that time?"
Mrs. Luo chuckled and said: "How could it be so easy? Although the Duke was still young at that time, he had already followed him to the battlefield."
"Oh." Xiao Bi smiled and felt uncomfortable asking any more.
The three of them quickly returned to Mrs. Luo's house.
Xiao Bi personally beat her legs for her and almost told all the interesting things in her stomach, but she couldn't get even a single word of the truth out of Mrs. Luo's mouth.
What a dazzling old lady, with a tight tongue!
On the way back to the room, Hua Xiaohan couldn't help but ask: "There's something wrong with you today! What happened?"
Xiao Bi said with some frustration: "It's nothing, I just feel that my grandmother is very kind and I want to honor her for Brother Huan."
"Tch—" Hua Xiaohan pinched her waist and lowered his voice and said, "Are you lying?"
"Are you a ghost?" Xiao Bi rolled her eyes.
"You..." Hua Xiaohan was angry.
Xiao Bi hugged her shoulders: "I'm still confused myself. I'll tell you when I figure it out.
Before that, you must not get entangled, let alone undermine me at a critical moment, remember?"
Hua Xiaohan's brows also wrinkled.
There is indeed something going on here!
"Let's go." Xiao Bi took her hand and walked quickly towards the guest house.
It was already dark, and the two of them were still dozens of feet away from the guest courtyard when they saw the Huan brothers waiting for them at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Brother Huan, Aji——"
"Second brother, Aji——"
The two of them each called out and quickened their pace.
The two brothers came forward together, but they felt different in their hearts.
Huan Yu looked at his daughter-in-law who was smiling heartlessly, and there was really nothing he could do about her.
Couldn't she follow Xiaohan's example and call her "Ayu" even if she doesn't call her cousin?
