The Royal's Cute Little Wife

20

Chapter 20 - Special

He unknowingly be in Qingzhou Province for two years.

After her seventh birthday in her family's own yard, Xie Lisa received gifts from her parents, a pink lute necklace and a jubilant silver hat. There was also a gift from the Old Master of Duke Dingguo's Mansion that came from the capital. It was a piece of turquoise with 18 pieces of fruit. The price was extraordinary and had the effect of dispelling evil and eliminating disasters.

Of all the children in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the old master loved Xie Lisa the most. He had been talking about her for the past two years, and he was always asking her when she would be going back.

However, Xie Lisa was still too young to leave her parents, and probably she wouldn't be able to go back in the short term.

Since she couldn't go back to the capital, she sat down on her desk and began to write letters to the old man. Xie Jiyong patted her head in gratification. "If you have any words you won't write, you can ask father."

"I can write. Don't look down on me, daddy."

She wrote down more than half of the pages in a grand manner, not allowing anyone to look at it. She sealed it with a piece of flame paint and handed it to Xie Jiyong, asking him to help her send it to the capital.

After Xie Jiyong went out to deal with it, he heard some news along the way.

Li Xiying's sister came back from her mother's home and brought back a seven or eight year old daughter. It was said that this grandaunt had married a merchant three years ago, who had been flooded by the sea and had yet to return. The merchant's mother insisted that she had killed her son, that she had beaten him and cursed him, and that she was not well enough to live in her mother's house, and that now she could not bear it any longer and came to her brother's house.

This was not something rare, as the neighbors nearby already knew what they should know.

When Xie Jiyong told the matter to the Master Dara, they tidied up the needlework in the basket. "Then take some time to take a look."

Xie Jiyong also had the same thought. After all, they were neighbors, so they should often move around. Ever since the last incident between the two families, the Li family had become more cautious. This was especially so for the Li family. Normally, they would rarely see each other even when they went out of their homes.

At dinner, Xie Jiyong talked about it at dinner.

"I want to go, I want to go!"

She and Li Jungkook hadn't seen each other for several months, so it wasn't a big deal if they were to stay in someone else's house. However, their two families were separated by a wall, so it was rather bizarre.

Xie Jiyong asked the other two children, "What about you two?"

Not even lifting her head, Xie Lisa continued to eat, "Sister is going, I'm going as well."

Xie Hanbin didn't have any objections. Of course, he would follow his sister to protect her.

Thus, this matter was decided. Tomorrow morning, they would be guests at the Li family's residence. Xie Jiyong had someone hand over the invitation card first, in case the time came out too abruptly.

There was a light snowfall at night, and when I woke up in the morning I stopped. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, which melted when the morning sun shone.

It was colder than yesterday, and Madam Dara, fearing that the three children would be frozen, made them each wear an extra dress. Xie Lisa put on her beige foxfur cloak, combed her head, and stood in the sun, white as snow, almost melting with the snow in the yard.
