Chapter 225 The Old Lady Misses Xier
The next morning, a soft fish belly white gradually appeared on the horizon.
As the snow was getting heavier last night, Murong Zixi and her group simply ate a few bites of dry food and continued on their way without hesitation.
At the same time, deep in the capital city filled with prosperity and power struggles, a special atmosphere permeated the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
Ever since receiving the letters from Murong Zixi and the guards in the mansion some time ago, the entire Duke of Protectorate's Mansion felt a little more at ease.
The elderly lady sat in a chair, her eyes revealing a look of relief and worry.
She sighed softly and said, "Alas, Xier, I wonder how long she will have to wander outside before she can come back to her senses." Her words contained the tenderness and helplessness that came from the baptism of time.
Qin, who was sitting at the bottom, heard the old lady's words and responded softly, "Mother, you are missing Xier again. In the capital, there is probably no woman who can be as free and unrestrained as her! She has a wider world in her heart, which is definitely not limited to the four walls of this mansion."
The old lady's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but behind that smile was hidden an indescribable complex emotion. She sighed softly, her eyes flashing with a light of both relief and worry: "Who says it's not true? She has indeed suffered a lot over the years. Now that she has the opportunity to go out and relax, it is not a bad thing. But... I can't let her go in my heart, and I miss her all the time!
Looking back, your little sister was also like this, like a free bird, full of dreams and fearless courage. She only took two personal maids with her and resolutely went to the border. What was even more unexpected was that she even disguised herself as a man and rushed to the battlefield filled with gunpowder. That extraordinary courage and spirit really amazed everyone, and at the same time made them feel extremely happy. "
At this point, the old lady's eyes suddenly became extremely deep, as if she had traveled through time and space and returned to that distant and unforgettable period. The air around her seemed to condense with her thoughts, and the whole atmosphere instantly became a little solemn and depressing.
Ruan, who was standing by, noticed the change in the atmosphere and quickly broke the silence with a hearty laugh: "Mother, you see, Xier's personality is exactly the same as her mother's. They are both not bound by worldly views and yearn for a free life."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Ruan suddenly realized that she might have said something wrong, and was afraid that the old lady would think of her younger sister and become sad again.
The old lady gently waved her hand, indicating that it was okay: "It's all in the past. It's been so many years. When I mention her, my heart is still agitated, but I'm relieved. Xier inherited her mother's unruly nature. It's her blessing and our pride."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Qin cleverly changed the topic, her tone mixed with some teasing and earnest expectations: "Mother, you really don't need to be so worried. This time, His Royal Highness the War King is accompanying you. With his extraordinary ability, he will definitely ensure that Xier is safe. Perhaps, after Xier has been swimming and playing to her heart's content outside, she will not only feel homesick due to fatigue, but she is also likely to be in love with His Royal Highness the War King and have a mutual understanding. By then, it can be said to be double happiness, and our house will definitely be very lively!"
When the old lady heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face again, and her eyes shone with a glow of longing: "What the eldest daughter-in-law said is very reasonable. Xier's marriage is indeed a good thing in our mansion. I only hope that she can return as soon as possible, bringing with her overflowing experience and endless happiness, to reunite with our family and share this family happiness."
