701 Little One
In May, Zhou Heng had already been appointed as the Crown Prince and stayed at the East Palace.
Previously, it was said that Su Xiaoling could leave the palace after he became the Crown Prince, but she had not left the palace yet. Su Xiaolu did not know why, so when she entered the palace to see the two little guys, she asked her sister.
Su Xiaolu flew over the eaves. The weather was good today, and there were faint voices in the courtyard.
The few servants were busy with their work.
!!
Su Xiaolu saw Madam Zhao gently stepping on a cradle in the courtyard. Madam Zhao’s gaze was very gentle as she muttered gently, “Yu is so obedient. It’s very comfortable under the sun, right…”
“You’re smiling at me again. Do you like grandma very much? I like you very much too.”
Madam Zhao’s gaze was gentle and kind. This year, there were grandchildren in the family, and the entire family was overjoyed. As a Teacher, Lin Yaoyao could not be free during the day. Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao decided that Madam Zhao might as well stay at home and take care of her grandson.
She would always feel more at ease taking care of the child herself.
Madam Zhao looked at the child as she searched for clothes. Looking at the white and soft child in the cradle, her heart softened.
“Mother.”
Su Xiaolu called Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao was stunned. She looked around and did not see anyone. She smiled helplessly at the child and started talking to herself. “Look at Grandma, why am I hallucinating? I think I heard your aunt calling out. It’s already winter. Your aunt should be home soon.”
“You don’t say. You look a little like your aunt when she was young. You’re easy to take care of. You’re obedient when you’re given something to eat. You don’t make people worry.”
Madam Zhao thought that she was hallucinating, but when she thought of Su Xiaolu, she became more talkative. She simply put down her needles, thread, and clothes and focused on telling the child.
Speaking of Su Xiaolu, she really had too much to say.
Little did she know that the person she had been thinking about had already returned home and was right behind her.
The maidservants saw it. With a gesture from Su Xiaolu, they covered their mouths and left with a smile.
Before Madam Zhao could notice, Su Xiaolu quietly reached out to Madam Zhao and covered her eyes. She said playfully, “Guess who I am!”
Madam Zhao was stunned at first, then she held Su Xiaolu’s hand and said excitedly, “Xiaolu, you’re back. I thought I heard wrongly.”
Madam Zhao was overjoyed. She thought that she had heard wrongly just now because she thought that it was only November and Old Wu and Gui You were bringing Su Xiaolu around. They would not return so early. She felt that it would be December when they returned.
“Mother, I missed you so much.”
Su Xiaolu hugged Madam Zhao’s neck and leaned her chin on her shoulder. She rubbed her face against Madam Zhao’s.
She took a deep breath. It smelled of her mother.
“Originally, I wanted to come and see Big Brother’s baby first, but after seeing mother, I miss you even more.”
Su Xiaolu wheedled as usual.
No one didn’t missed their home outside.
Madam Zhao couldn’t stop smiling. She touched Su Xiaolu’s hand and said gently, “Look at your brother’s child. He’s very similar to you when you were young. He’s just as obedient. I’m not tired at all when I take care of him.”
Su Xiaolu looked at the cradle. The sleeping baby was especially soft and cute. He was like a ball, unbelievably quiet and obedient.
Su Xiaolu recalled when she was young. She smiled and said, “Looks like Yu will grow up to be a handsome man.”
Su Chong was handsome. Lin Yaoyao was not very beautiful, but she was still good-looking. The little guy had completely inherited his parents’ strengths. How could he not look good when he grew up?
Madam Zhao smiled and did not say anything. Not to mention Su Xiaolu, even she thought so.
Who wouldn’t like a good-looking child?
“Little guy, your aunt is here to see you.”
Madam Zhao called out gently.
The little guy had been asleep for a long time, and Madam Zhao’s voice was very familiar. When he heard her call out softly, he woke up and opened his eyes.
When he saw Madam Zhao, he grinned at her. When he saw Su Xiaolu, he stopped smiling and looked at Su Xiaolu curiously.
His eyes were wide open. Su Xiaolu reached out and pinched his little foot under the blanket. The little guy retracted its foot.
Su Xiaolu smiled. “Hello, Little Shiyu. I’m your aunt.”
The little guy naturally did not understand what Su Xiaolu was saying, but babies could feel kindness. Looking at the warm smile, he smiled back at Su Xiaolu.
He only had two little teeth. When he smiled, he was very warm and cute. His clear eyes were filled with innocence.
He was very happy and smiled again and again.
Madam Zhao watched from the side, her heart filled with sweetness. It was as if there was a Xiaolu beside her and another Xiaolu sleeping in the cradle.
Su Xiaolu played with the child. Madam Zhao gently stroked Su Xiaolu’s back and hair. She looked at Su Xiaolu gently. She couldn’t get enough of her.
Fourteen years seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye and her daughter had grown up.
However, when she thought about it carefully, those memories were still vivid in her mind.
Su Xiaolu picked the little guy up. Because they were familiar with each other, the little guy did not struggle. He smiled at Su Xiaolu for a while before gently leaning his head against her.
Madam Zhao said gently, “Shiyu seems to know that you’re family. You’ve only met for the first time, but he’s already close to you.”
Su Xiaolu and Little Shiyu pressed their heads against each other. She smiled and said, “Of course. I’m his aunt.”
Blood was thicker than water.
This little guy had blood similar to hers. It was the bloodline of her closest brother.
Madam Zhao smiled gently.
Su Xiaolu carried him for a while. When Gui You and Old Wu arrived, Su Xiaolu put the child down and handed it to Madam Zhao. She said, “Mother, I’ll go into the palace to see my sister.”
Madam Zhao nodded. “Go ahead. You sisters should have a heart to heart talk. You’ve all grown up. I don’t know how much you have on your mind. I only hope that you’re all well.”
Thinking of her third daughter, Madam Zhao couldn’t help but feel a little worried. Su Xiaoling had been too sensible since she was young. Madam Zhao’s heart ached.
...
Now that their family was doing well and they did not lack money, there were things that could not be resolved with money.
Su Xiaolu nodded and greeted Old Wu and Gui You.
Old Wu waved his hand impatiently. “Go, go. It’s not like you’re not allowed to go.”
Although he said that, he clearly didn’t think so. He was so happy that the girl told him everything.
Madam Zhao greeted Old Wu and Gui You and introduced the baby to Old Wu.
Old Wu took a few glances and said gently, “Not bad, not bad.”
Gui You took a look. “Very good.”
Madam Zhao was very happy. She cared about Gui You and Old Wu and asked the maidservant to bring Gui You and Old Wu to rest. Madam Zhao also carried the child back to her room.
Su Xiaolu left home and went straight to the palace gate. Her mother’s words just now let her know that her sister had something on her mind. She refused to tell her mother because she was afraid that her mother would worry, and she was her sister. They had been close since they were young and were the closest people to each other.
