Chapter 242 Homecoming
"Okay, we will listen to you and take good care of ourselves so that my dear granddaughter won't sleep peacefully."
"However, I, an old woman, want to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I wonder if my son-in-law..." Grandmother Yan watched his expression carefully, fearing that he would cause trouble for her daughter.
Zuo Xiang didn't expect that his mother-in-law would be so cautious because of Ning'er's matter, and he wiped away his tears.
"Mom, this is also your home. You can live here as long as you want. There is a small courtyard next to the Glazed Pavilion. I will have someone clean it up later."
"Okay, okay, he's a filial son. This way, mother can see Ning Bao every day, and she will feel at ease."
"As for the matter of the Yan Mansion's housekeeper, leave it to the old lady. You have a plan in mind, and your behavior and work are trustworthy."
"The Yan family is relying on you." Grandmother Yan explained everything in just a few words. The power of managing the family had long been handed over to her daughter-in-law. Normally, she would only speak when there were major matters that she was unsure about.
"Your mother lives here, and I want to live here too to look after my granddaughter. This old man has only Ning Bao as his only daughter in his life, and it hurts my heart."
"My dear son-in-law, you won't be unwilling, right?" Although Yan's grandfather said this, his tone was certain that the Left Prime Minister would agree.
It was a foregone conclusion that the old couple from the Yan family would live in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. Mrs. He was very conflicted looking at such a large family. She wanted to stay with Ning'er all day long, but was worried about causing trouble for the Xia family.
He said timidly, "My eldest brother should be opening the shop, so my old man and I will go back to live. We just have to come to see Ning Bao every day. I hope the people in the mansion don't find it annoying."
"Yes, yes, mother is right. There is a yard behind the shop. My wife has already cleaned it up. Your son will take you back soon." Boss He heard his mother's voice from the outside and responded quickly.
Everyone was so sad just now that even the people in the mansion didn't see the couple coming, and they all hurriedly made way for them.
Mr. and Mrs. He bowed and thanked politely before walking away.
Looking at the little sister on the bed, her eyes turned red. He Laoda's wife said directly: "Our Ning'er has lost weight, and her little face has become pointed."
These words made everyone wipe their tears again. Sobbing sounds continued to be heard in the Glazed Pavilion. The wife of the Left Prime Minister could no longer hold back and lay on Grandmother Yan's body and cried loudly.
The crying was so sad that it made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Good child, don't cry. You are Ning Bao's biological mother. If she knew you were so sad, she would be so sad. She would feel guilty when she wakes up."
When Grandmother Yan saw her granddaughter falling from the sky, she fainted and was ill for a long time.
Not only her, but also her husband and grandmother of the Xia family fell ill one after another, and they were all looking forward to Ning'er returning home as soon as possible.
I cried so much during that time that my tears have long since dried up. Now I can finally comfort my daughter.
When the master of the mansion is in a bad mood, the servants will also be affected, and the entire Left Prime Minister's mansion is shrouded in shadow.
After the left prime minister’s wife finished crying, she took He Pozi’s hand and said, “Sister He, just stay in the mansion and don’t go anywhere. Ning Bao likes you to be by her side the most. If you are not here, she will blame me as her mother when she wakes up.”
"Sister He is so kind, Ning Bao won't blame me, right?"
How could He Pozi bear such harsh words? She held her hand and said, "No, Ning'er is the best child in the world. How can I blame you?"
"I had discussed it with his father at the beginning. When we have saved enough money, we will bring her here to find her relatives. If her family is happy with her, everyone will be happy."
"If she is not treated well at home, we will work hard to make money or take her away."
She looked at the people in the room with a smile. The worry in her eyes didn't seem fake, and she felt relieved.
"Now, Ning'er is blessed and has a big family that loves her."
"She will understand. I like quietness. There are many rules in a wealthy family. It would be bad if something ridiculous happened."
Mrs. He sincerely thought so. She had no desire for wealth and fame. She just wanted to earn more money by running the shop so that she would have some money to keep when Ning'er woke up.
"Yes, we don't have to live in the house, we can just come over to take a look every day." Old Man He also nodded in agreement.
The Left Prime Minister and his wife were both unwilling to do so. They saw clearly how much Ning'er cared about the two people in front of them. They were also grateful in their hearts that Ning Bao met such a good family when he was in trouble.
Because of the He family, she was able to avoid a lot of suffering, which invisibly changed Ning Bao's fate.
No matter what they said, Madam Zuo Tongxiang refused to give in and insisted that the two of them live in the mansion. She also allocated the courtyard on the right side of the Liuli Pavilion for them to live in.
The old couple from the Xia family and the old couple from the Yan family also advised: "There is plenty of room at home, you can live here peacefully, and when your eldest couple closes the shop, they can come back to sleep. It will be great for the whole family to be together."
Helplessly, the two could not refuse and stayed.
Because of the long journey, they did not have a dinner at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, but just sent Yan's uncle and aunts back with the children.
After the couple has recovered, everyone will get together.
Mr. and Mrs. He helped their parents back to the courtyard. They were both very worried and asked about the specific situation at the border.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. He told them everything, just to avoid certain things, especially the space. What if it was leaked out and someone took the opportunity to kill people and steal treasures?
After asking about the store business, Boss He quickly said, "Prime Minister Zuo has always taken good care of us, from choosing a store location to recruiting people, and even asking the housekeeper to help with everything."
"Everything went smoothly from renovation to business operation. Now we can earn dozens of taels of silver every month. There is no problem at all."
"I was sent to school. I heard it's a famous clan school. The Left Prime Minister also spent some effort to send me in. I was supposed to come today, but I heard there are exams and students can't come out."
"I guess I didn't sleep well today, so I'll come back to see Ning'er after the exam."
"after all···"
"It was he who brought Ning'er back then. Now he is studying hard to pass the imperial examinations and has the ability to be a supporter for Ning'er."
There was another silence in the room, followed by continuous sighs.
In the courtyard of Zuo Xiang and his wife, they were talking about how they were worried that something unfavorable to Ning Bao might be spread out later.
The wife of the Left Prime Minister frowned tightly, thinking that her daughter's kidnapping and disappearance was related to someone in the capital, which made her feel uneasy.
"No, we still need someone to investigate and find out who is behind this."
"Even tigers take naps. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. All dangers must be eliminated."
The Left Prime Minister agreed with his wife's words. He planned to mobilize the Xia family's hidden power to investigate everything that happened in the six months before his little girl disappeared.
Try to kill as many people as possible without letting them go, so that Ning Bao can be safe in the mansion.
