2811 Things Have Changed
She wasn’t just a little happy; she was very happy. She even specially tidied up before coming out.
Aunt Fang pursed her lips and smiled as she listened to the old madam.
The old madam, who was walking extremely quickly, was still smiling. “Unexpectedly, Little Six said that she’s the granddaughter of the Fu family. The DNA test has been done, so there’s no mistake. Isn’t she fated with our Xia family? Little Six has been guarding her since long ago.”
“Grandma, I like what you’re saying, your granddaughter-in-law is fated with our Xia family. That’s why I was lucky that I found her.” Xia Jinyuan’s light voice came from the corridor. After a while, he walked in front of the old madam. “Ye Jian can’t reveal her identity when my mother comes over later. She can only go to the tea room in the backyard to sit.”
“Alas, look at what I’ve done…” The old madam frowned. Why did she call her ex-daughter-in-law for no reason? The old man was right. She was helping others and wronging her family.
“It’s okay. We have to settle things. Since she’s here today, I’ll make things clear to her.” Xia Jinyuan’s voice turned faint. “The old residence isn’t a place she can come to just because she wants to. We have to let her understand.”
As he spoke, Madam Xiao had already walked into the old residence. She walked over the high threshold steps and entered the old residence that she had previously lived in for a few years. It was not unfamiliar at all.
Actually, she was already unfamiliar with the place. In the past, she could enter any place she wanted with Ah Yuan in her arms, including the bedrooms. She had even carried Ah Yuan into the bedroom of the old madam and the old master in the past.
Her old bedroom was over there.
The Xia family’s old residence was very big. Before she left, her eldest brother-in-law and his wife, second brother-in-law and his wife, Xia Xinhui, and Xia Xinhui’s uncle’s family all lived in the old residence. Xia Xinhui’s aunt left the old residence after she got married.
At that time, the Xia family was really lively. As she had a child with Xia Xinhui very late, when Ah Yuan was born, the children of the eldest and second brothers were already very old. Every time they came back from school, they would come to her courtyard to carry Ah Yuan.
After carrying Ah Yuan for a little while, she would immediately go to look for the old master and the old madam. She didn’t carry Ah Yuan for long. The servants or the old master and the old madam would carry him.
Her son probably hadn’t been close to her since infancy.
As a mother, she had only carried her son a few times. What kind of mother was she?
“Have a seat here first.” The servant who welcomed her in led the way politely and followed behind her. Occasionally, she would remind her as if she was worried that she would take the wrong path. “This way, please.”
Madam Xiao felt bitter in her heart. In the past, she was considered the owner of this place. Now, she was an unwelcome guest.
“20 to 30 years have passed in the blink of an eye, but this place is still the same. It’s decorated with red beams and paintings. It’s simple and grand. Shuman, look, the rockery over there is the same. It’s still the same as before.”
Madam Li, who walked in with her, looked around and sighed. “The scenery hasn’t changed, but the people have. That pomegranate tree… I still remember when you carried Ah Yuan and asked a few servants to take the pomegranates at the top of the tree for me to try.”
Madam Li was not unfamiliar with the Xia family’s old residence. She had been here countless times, especially since Xia Xinhui went to the military unit not long after Xiao Shuman got married. She even stayed here for a while.
Now, she was still a guest, but Shuman, who had served her in the past, had also become a guest.
