Without waiting for Qin Huaiâs instructions, Chi Jia had already arranged the accommodation in the prefecture capital. The house he originally bought was not next door to Old man Wangâs house. Later on, he bought it at the last minute.
Qin Huai rode to Old man Wangâs house and saw two plaques at their door. One was the âHouse of Loyaltyâ, and the other was the relatively reserved âWang Estateâ.
Seeing the words âWang Estateâ, Qin Huai was slightly stunned.
Ordinary families with the surname Wang did not dare to openly use the word âWang (King)â. It looked ambiguous and could easily be misunderstood by the people in power.
But the Wang Family was actually so calm and fearless?
Thinking of something, Qin Huai smiled.
Even if someone came to warn and threaten them, so what? He would protect them.
In any case, he had already revealed his cards to Madam Qin.
No, she should be called Empress Qin.
Now, Qin Huai was no longer willing to call her Mother in his heart.
She was not a qualified mother, nor was she a qualified empress.
Before Qin Huai could think further, a figure appeared at the door.
It was a little girl with a pair of pigtails. She was about four or five years old and was wearing a lotus-colored dress and a pink shawl.
Around her neck hung a jade necklace with golden threads. Two small golden bells hung by her waist. As she crossed the threshold, the bells jingled.
The little girlâs eyes were bright, and her red mouth was wide open. Clearly, she was extremely happy.
She had just run to the door when she turned around and shouted with a smile, âSecond Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, the carriage is waiting outside. Youâre so slow!â
Hearing this, someone inside laughed and replied, âAh Yu, weâre the ones going to the hunting ground. Why are you so excited? Grandma doesnât even allow you to go.â
âIâm sending you out, so itâs the same as if Iâm going.â This person was naturally Little All Yu. Her tone was not sad at all. âIâm also happy to see you go. When you come back, donât forget to tell me.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright. Even if 1 forget something, I wonât forget to tell our Little Sister Ah Yu a story.â
A few youths walked out with smiles.
Wang Sanlang, who was walking at the front, immediately saw Qin Huai outside.
He narrowed his eyes and could not recognize him.
âQin Huai?â Wang Sanlang probed.
Qin Huai was wearing a dark red robe with a dark blue gold-inlaid jade belt around his waist.
He had a dark red hairband on his head and his waist-length hair was tied into a simple ponytail.
It happened to reach the sword at his waist.
When the wind blew, it swayed.
The maroon horse snorted and stomped its front hooves on the ground, looking a little impatient.
What a graceful young man!
Who else could it be but the nine-year-old Qin Huai?
Qin Huai nodded and shouted, âThird Brother.â
Then, he got off the horse and greeted Wang Erlang and Wang Silang, who were walking over behind Ah Yu. When he saw Wang Qilang, he also greeted him as Seventh Brother.
Little All Yu also ran over. Her big round eyes widened and her mouth curled up. âBig Brother All You, why didnât you call me!â
She was clearly the first to reach the door!
âIâm sorry, I didnât recognize you.â Qin Huai smiled gently and poked Little All Yuâs angry face with his fingertips. He said helplessly, âYouâve become even better-looking.â
In Qin Huaiâs memory, Little Ah Yu still looked like a two or three-year-old child. Although he knew that she was actually more than four years old, she was born weak and looked even younger.
He originally thought that even if the little girl grew up, she would not change much, just like how he had not changed much.
However, he did not expect All Yu to have changed so much.
If not for the fact that this was in front of Old man Wangâs house and they had not called her All Yu, Qin Huai would not have dared to recklessly call her name.
Ah Yu had changed too much. On a closer look, one could tell what she looked like in the past. When he suddenly saw her, he only felt that she was a completely different person.
If Ouyang Changjing and the others were here, they would definitely laugh loudly and tell him, âOf course she looks different. Our Ouyang familyâs girls will look different every year before they turn 15 years old. I guarantee that even their biological mother wonât be able to recognize them!â
Little All Yu touched her face, and the unhappiness quickly dissipated. â1 really look better?â
She was at the age where she liked to show off.
Wang Erlang said from the side, âQin Huai, Iâm afraid you havenât seen Ah Yu for too long, so you think that sheâs changed a lot. We see her every day and donât think sheâs changed much.â
Wang Silang also said, âLittle Sister Ah Yu has always been the best-looking. 1 donât think anything has changed.â
âBig Brothers, your words are so nice. Then Iâll tell Grandma today to make more delicious food for lunch!â
The Big Brothers all laughed..
