The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 209 Staying with the one you love

Upon hearing this, Wu Wenxiu's gaze immediately shifted to Chen Liangxian.

She looked up and down at the young man in front of her carefully. After a while, a faint glimmer of memory suddenly flashed in her eyes, which were originally full of doubts.

"It really looks like it!" Then, her emotions began to become extremely excited, and she murmured to herself: "Afu? Could it be... is it really you? This is really the young lady's child..."

"Yes, it's me, Xiuxiu. I've been looking for you for so many years." Shopkeeper Wu was so excited that his body was shaking.

Wu Wenxiu's face was filled with guilt, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "I'm sorry, Ah Fu. I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye. It was an emergency at the time, and I really had no choice."

"Young lady was so kindhearted that she returned my indenture contract to my parents. However, that year, my poor brother suddenly fell ill with an acute disease, and the illness came on so suddenly that we were caught off guard. I was so anxious that I didn't even have time to say hello to you before I hurriedly took my brother to the capital to seek medical treatment." As Wu Wenxiu said these words, her eyes gradually turned red and tears welled up in her eyes, as if that difficult past was vivid in her mind.

"In order to treat my brother's illness, we almost exhausted all our family savings, even the last bit of silver. With no other choice, my parents had no choice but to reluctantly sell me to a wealthy family in the capital." Wu Wenxiu sighed deeply.

Her tone was filled with regret and helplessness as she continued, "Later, after my brother's illness had improved slightly, I also tried to go back and look for you. But when I finally found the Gu family after going through untold hardships, I heard that the young lady had already married and had a family, and the head of the family had led the Gu clan back to the main house of the Gu Tomb family."

"I'm sorry, Miss! It's all my fault that I couldn't always stay by your side to serve you. Now I know that you have left us a long time ago..." Wu Wenxiu lowered her head, muttering to herself, tears streaming down her cheeks.

After a while, she slowly raised her head and turned her gaze to Chen Liangxian who was standing beside her. She bowed slightly and said, "This old slave greets the young master!"

Chen Liangxian squinted his eyes, trying hard to see the person in front of him, but his eyesight had not recovered yet.

His already pale face now showed no trace of extraneous expression. His eyes were dull as he spoke slowly, "Oh? So you're an old friend of Mother's. No need to be so polite, Ma'am."

Wu Wenxiu, who was standing nearby, keenly noticed that something seemed wrong in the atmosphere, and a feeling of doubt welled up in her heart.

She frowned subconsciously, her eyes fixed on Chen Liangxian and Manager Chen, trying to find some clues from their words and actions.

Wang Xinyao calmly gave Wu Wenxiu a reassuring look, and then smiled.

She said to Wu Wenxiu, "Mammy, we've been traveling all day and are all exhausted. Let's arrange accommodation first so that everyone can rest early. We can talk about reminiscing tomorrow!"

Hearing this, the people around nodded in agreement, expressing their agreement with Wang Xinyao's proposal.

Seeing this, Wu Wenxiu also hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, yes, Madam is very thoughtful. It is this old servant who has neglected it! Everyone, please follow me. I will show you the vacant rooms."

As she spoke, she took the lead and led everyone towards the guest rooms.

After a while, Wu Wenxiu brought everyone to several clean, tidy, spacious and bright empty rooms and assigned rooms to them one by one.

After everything was arranged, Wang Xinyao returned to her room and said to Zhao Haoxuan in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, we don't have much time left. I just hope nothing happens next."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan shook Wang Xinyao's hand firmly and said in a reassuring voice, "Don't worry, Xinyao. No matter what difficulties or obstacles we encounter, we will definitely be able to overcome them smoothly."

Wang Xinyao nodded slightly, then said softly, "Well, Brother Zhao, you should go back to your room and rest up quickly. We still have to go to the back mountain together tomorrow."

Zhao Haoxuan opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he chose to remain silent.

In his heart, he longed to stay with her for a while longer, and wanted to tell her in person that they were already husband and wife and should live in the same room.

However, the emperor didn't know anything about their relationship yet, and he couldn't bear to let her follow him without any status.

Thinking of this, Zhao Haoxuan couldn't help but sigh, knowing that if he wanted to realize his beautiful wish of staying with his beloved forever, there was still a long way to go.

After Zhao Haoxuan slowly left, Wang Xinyao walked lightly to the door of Xie Dahahua's room.

She gently pushed open the door and saw that the room was quiet. Xie Dahahua was lying quietly on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Judging from her even breathing, the day's work must have exhausted this little girl, who was not even twelve years old.

It is really heartbreaking that they have to shoulder the burdens of adults at such a young age.

Wang Xinyao stared quietly at Xie Dahahua's peaceful sleeping face for a moment, then tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door.

Then she continued walking towards Xie Erhua's room.

When Wang Xinyao stepped into Xie Erhua's room, she saw Xie Erhua lying on the bed with her legs spread out, and the quilt had been kicked under the bed.

Wang Xinyao shook her head helplessly, walked quickly forward, and carefully covered Xie Erhua with the quilt again.

But who would have thought that just as Wang Xinyao turned around and prepared to leave, she suddenly heard Xie Erhua's unclear mumbling in her sleep from behind her: "Little girl, little girl, look, I have now reached the peak of martial arts!"

Immediately afterwards, a rustling sound was heard. It turned out that Xie Erhua had kicked the quilt open again.

Seeing this, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but smile.

She returned to the bedside again, gently picked up the quilt, and carefully covered Xie Erhua with it. Only after doing all this did Wang Xinyao leave the room with peace of mind.

Then, Wang Xinyao tiptoed to Xie Xiaohua's door. She slowly stretched out her right hand and gently pushed open the slightly old wooden door.

As soon as the door was pushed open a crack, a childish and sleepy voice sounded impatiently: "Little girl, little girl, come here quickly, come and try this, it's really delicious!"

Hearing these familiar words, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but laugh, muttering to herself, "Okay, it seems this little guy is dreaming again!"
