The old woman, clad in a coa.r.s.e blouse, with a flowery turban on her head and some dried herbs in her hands, turned her head at the sound of call .
“Here is Chen’er . ” The old woman was a little stunned, then she turned her head . Seeing Xiao Chen coming up, she quickly put down herbs and walked up to Xiao Chen, with a smile in her eyes . The woman’s temperament was extraordinary . You could spot dignity between her eyebrows though what she wore was solely cloth .
“You are becoming thin . Why don’t you take good care of yourself?” The woman touched Xiao Chen’s cheek, her eyes being full of loving and doting .
“My wet nurse, why are you making medicine again?” Xiao Chen looked at the herbal medicine on the ground and frowned discontentedly .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt“Alas . . . I am too idle so I find something to do anyway . ” Smiling faintly, the woman noticed Jing Yue standing not far away . With a slight twinkle in her eyes, she looked aside at Xiao Chen and asked, “And this is?”
“Wet nurse, she’s Jing Yue, my fiancée . ” Xiao Chen went over and took Jing Yue to his side, saying to the woman .
“Greetings to my lady . ” Jing Yue extended her respect in some restrained manner, feeling extremely worried .
So after a long while, Xiao Chen had intended to take her meet his parent!
But to Jing Yue’s surprise, Xiao Chen had a wet nurse, and it appeared that Xiao and her were quite intimate .
“Finally you let your wife show up . ” The woman’s eyes immediately lit up . She warmly inquired after Jing Yue’s well-being, while ignoring Xiao Chen . After a long talk, Jing learned Xiao was brought up by the woman when he was a child .
“Chen’er was a pretty naughty boy who had brought me a lot of troubles . ” Clasping Jing’s hands and sitting on the stone chair on the side, the woman talked about Xiao’s childhood stories . Jing devoured them, echoing her now and then . Their laughs made Xiao, who was ladling out water, slightly raised the corner of his mouth .
Throughout the day, Jing Yue found Xiao Chen’s another character, who was gentle and considerate with a smile on his face . He did such ch.o.r.es as watering flowers and cleaning the room awfully merrily, unlike what Jing knew before .
They two didn’t leave until the weary sun began to sink .
“You don’t have to see me in the future . I’m fine here . ” The woman held Xiao Chen’s hands, giving a reluctant goodbye . She always wanted to see Xiao Chen though, she exhorted him not to come often .
“Wet nurse, Xiao Chen is occupied but I’m free,” said Jing Yue who had smiling brows, “I will visit you frequently, and Xiao Chen will be delighted too . ”
“Alright, aright . . . ” The relieved woman gripped Jing’s hands, then stood outside the palace gate, watching Xiao and Jing’s carriage drifting away . Without their sight, she sighed softly, walked into the palace and closed the gate .
On the carriage, Jing Yue still kept the shallow smile, while Xiao Chen slowly took a breath and turned to Jing Yue, “I"m sorry that I took you to see my wet nurse without your consent . ”
“Really? Without my consent?” Looking at Xiao, Jing blinked her eyes, saying, “I didn’t expect you to be that naughty when young . I heard interesting stories of our celebrated Ninth Imperial Uncle of Dongqing Kingdom . This trip to the palace is worth it . ”
