Chapter 2247: Little Bun Romance 02
Perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed under Tian Hui’s gaze, He Lianyu couldn’t help but ask, "Is Princess Pingxi at home?"
Tian Hui then remembered that this young man had come to search for Lin Yuan.
"To be honest with you, Young Master, my second brother and sister-in-law went out a few days ago and have not returned yet."
So, they haven’t returned!
He Lianyu recalled what the little beggar had said.
Tian Hui said, "Is there anything Prince Xiliang wants you to convey to my second brother? If you’re not in a hurry, you can stay in the Capital city. If you are in a hurry, I can help pass the message."
Ever since all three children had grown up, Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan often went out secretly for fun. Sometimes they returned in three or two days, sometimes months, and once they were gone for a year.
Therefore, Tian Hui didn’t dare guarantee when Xia Zheng might return to He Lianyu.
However, if possible, she hoped that He Lianyu could stay in the Capital city a few more days, so there might be more opportunities to interact with Xia Ke!
"Thank you, Madam." He Lianyu clasped his fists and said, "To be honest, my visit this time is not at the behest of Brother Wang, but my mother, the princess, has a letter for Princess Pingxi. She said the Commandery Princess will understand once she reads it."
Saying this, He Lianyu took out a well-sealed letter from his sleeve, which was received by a young maid and brought to Tian Hui.
The letter was addressed personally to Princess Pingxi. Since it was meant for Lin Yuan, Tian Hui wasn’t in a position to open it. Smiling, she said, "I will keep the letter safe for my sister-in-law, but I’m not sure when she’ll return. If Young Master has urgent matters, I’m afraid..."
He Lianyu quickly said, "Madam, please don’t worry. Mother said it’s not very urgent. As long as the Commandery Princess sees the letter, it doesn’t matter when."
Tian Hui nodded and exchanged a few more words with He Lianyu, inviting him to stay for a meal. However, He Lianyu politely refused.
Tian Hui didn’t insist, especially since she was alone at home today. Her in-laws took the younger sister-in-law out, Xia Zhen went to the camp with his two sons, and Ah Jin and Ah Yin were busy outside. It was indeed inappropriate for her, a woman, to dine with He Lianyu.
After sitting for a while, He Lianyu stood up and left.
After seeing He Lianyu off, Tian Hui sat at the main seat and suddenly said seriously, "Alright, he’s gone. Aren’t you going to come out?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pretty young girl jumped out from behind the screen and squeezed next to Tian Hui, calling out cheerfully, "Auntie."
This young girl was none other than Xia Ke, who had changed back into her female attire.
It had to be said, Xia Ke’s appearance was truly unrivaled, inheriting all the advantages of Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng.
Her looks alone could definitely be considered outstanding in the Capital city, combined with her lively big eyes, even the princesses of the Royal family couldn’t compare.
"You little rascal! Where did you run off to again?" Tian Hui adored this little niece deeply, though she was Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng’s daughter, she felt more like her own.
Xia Ke grinned, "I went to the Red Smoke Pavilion to play with Sister Cheng. She even taught me embroidery!"
Sister Cheng is the daughter of Cheng Haoxuan and Tian Xuan.
Tian Hui rolled her eyes at her, "You might be able to fool your big dumb uncle with that story, but do you really think your aunt would believe you? You sneaky one!"
With that, she extended a slim finger to poke Xia Ke’s forehead.
Xia Ke blinked, seeing as her lie was exposed, she didn’t hide it anymore, giggling, "Auntie understands Ke’er best."
Although many big families in the Capital city used "aunt" for address, Tian Hui preferred Xia Ke to call her "auntie." Even though she wasn’t her mother, having "mother" in the title made her feel that her relationship with Xia Ke was closer.
Holding Xia Ke’s little hand, Tian Hui remembered the recently departed He Lianyu, and couldn’t help but ask, "Did you see Young Master Helian just now? What do you think?"
Thoughts?
Xia Ke immediately felt at a loss; this auntie was great in every way except for being constantly concerned about her marriage, which was a bit exhausting.
"Auntie, my cousins haven’t married yet. Why don’t you arrange something for them first? My matters aren’t urgent!"
"Silly girl! What’s not urgent? Your matters are the most urgent!"
Tian Hui gave her a fond glance, "Your cousins are men; as long as they don’t marry some inappropriate woman, everything is fine. But you can’t accept just any marriage, auntie won’t let you suffer any grievances!"
