Chapter 2642: Chapter 2643: Return to Tianyun (209)

An Jing smiled and said, "I really wish you could stay in this palace and not leave. But there’s no choice, you still have to take care of your father. He’s been good to you, and you should be filial in return."

Taoming Ye nodded in agreement.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Luckily, there are many good-hearted people in the Tao family, otherwise my husband’s past days would have been even harder."

Ye Zhi, sipping her tea, laughed and said, "The tough days are over. Things will only get better from now on."

Su Xing and Taoming Ye exchanged smiles and nodded, fully agreeing with Ye Zhi’s sentiment. Indeed, the hard days were over. Things would only continue to improve.

After chatting for a while longer with An Jing and the others, Su Xing finally laughed and said, "My husband still doesn’t know how to play Mahjong. You see his eyes keep glancing over there out of curiosity. I’ll take him to watch Second Brother and the others play Mahjong. Mother, you continue chatting."

"Go ahead." An Jing kindly allowed them to go.

Taoming Ye first smiled bashfully at An Jing and the others before getting up to join Su Xing in watching Su Yixing and the others play Mahjong.

Su Yixing, seeing him approach, smiled and asked, "Do you want to join in?"

Taoming Ye immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "Watching is enough for me. Second Brother, you continue playing."

After watching for a while, Taoming Ye stopped and returned to sit by Su Xing on the kang (heated bed), joining the conversation with An Jing and the others.

As soon as Su Xing sat down, she said to An Jing, "Mother, you should ask Third Brother to give us a Mahjong set someday. Then if I get bored at home, I can play with my husband and the others."

An Jing smiled and said, "When I see your Third Brother, I’ll let him know. He’ll surely provide you a set to pass the time."

...

Ten days later, An Yiqing came to the main hall to find An Jing and Su Changyi, carrying a Mahjong set.

"Father, Mother, should I send Little Sister’s Mahjong set, or do you want to send someone?"

Just then, the eldest granddaughter of An Jing and Su Changyi — Su Yuxin, was present, sitting between them and chatting. Upon hearing this, she quickly said, "Third Uncle, let me take it to Little Aunt. Anyway, I’m not busy."

An Jing said, "It’s cold outside, better not go. Just let a guard take it over."

Su Yuxin laughed and said, "I’m not afraid of the cold. Grandma, don’t worry, I won’t catch a cold. Besides, I haven’t seen Little Aunt for some days. I’d like to visit her and Little Uncle at their residence."

"Then you go ahead and deliver it." With her granddaughter insisting, An Jing let her go.

Su Changyi couldn’t help but remind, "Be careful, it’s slippery on the road." It rained heavily yesterday.

"Okay, Grandpa." Su Yuxin responded cheerfully, taking the Mahjong from An Yiqing, and as she did, she teased, "Third Uncle, have you been consumed by Mahjong lately? I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages. Have your gambling house staff learned it yet?"

"You cheeky girl." An Yiqing tapped her head lightly but showed no anger, only smiling wide, "Some of the gambling house staff have learned it. It might take a few more days for all of them to learn, mainly because we’re short on Mahjong sets. Once we have enough sets, everyone will get to practice more and play better. Alright, since you’re going, hurry up and go. Be careful on the way, and come back early so your grandparents don’t worry."

Su Yuxin immediately grinned and said, "Third Uncle, why didn’t you mention my parents being worried?"
