The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1747 - 1834: Unfazed and Composed
The speed of Zhi Chen and the others was a few steps slower than Tong Huiying, mainly because they were held up by Old Lady Qin when entering the villa.
The moment Old Lady Qin saw Yixuan, she was filled with enthusiasm.
Old Lady Qin was old enough to be Yixuan’s grandmother, but nominally they were mother and son. Old Lady Qin always proclaimed Yixuan as her adopted son, and she genuinely loved Yixuan as her own son and grandson.
This time, because of Dong Huiying’s affairs, Yixuan had been gone for several months, which made Old Lady Qin miss him dearly. Upon this reunion, Old Lady Qin naturally had endless things to say.
However, just as she was about to open her mouth, and while holding Yixuan’s hand with the intention of inquiring after him warmly, she suddenly caught sight of an extraordinarily understated figure standing behind the Liang Family Brothers.
"!!!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Old Lady Qin was instantly startled and then very surprised.
What was going on here?
How did the Empress’s agents get mixed up with the Liang Family Brothers?
The Qin family has been around for a long time. If it weren’t for the foresight of the ancestors, recognizing the Capital as a whirlwind of trouble, the Qin Clan would have been among those ancient tribes of Dayuan today. But the forefathers of the Qin family wisely retreated, leaving everything behind when they left the Capital, and only rebuilt from scratch after arriving in Dongdi.
Despite being far removed from the center of power in the Capital, the hearts of the Qin family always leaned towards the royal family. Before those events happened in the past, Her Majesty the Empress frequently exchanged letters with Old Lady Qin to maintain their friendship.
Therefore, the Great Commander knew one thing very well. The people in the Capital might not be trustworthy, but Old Lady Qin certainly was!!
At this moment, Old Lady Qin was confused and full of doubt. She was terribly perplexed, unable to understand how the Great Commander got involved with her dear Xuanxuan and why they had come together with those boys from the two families?
She thought of Her Majesty the Empress, hidden in the cellar of her backyard, and her heart pounded, but her face betrayed nothing.
This was because she couldn’t gauge the Great Commander’s intentions. Given this situation, should she pretend to be a familiar acquaintance or act as if she didn’t recognize him?
So, after careful consideration, it seemed safer to do nothing!!
Old Lady Qin had a lot on her mind, but in reality, only a moment had passed. Indeed, wisdom comes with age. She warmly held Yixuan’s hand, her old face blooming like a chrysanthemum, continuously asking about how Yixuan had fared with his eating and sleeping during his time away.
Having spent a long time with Old Lady Qin, Yixuan also understood her nature. Although she was somewhat nagging, those who hadn’t experienced her care wouldn’t understand. Even this nagging was an expression of love. The motherly love he had lacked before was fulfilled here.
Smiling, Yixuan chatted with Old Lady Qin, while Zhi Chen and the others took their seats one by one. The villa’s servants served tea, and the Great Commander sat unobtrusively, occasionally glancing at Old Lady Qin, but mostly sitting like an old monk, serenely sipping tea from his cup.
It wasn’t until Old Lady Qin had talked enough with Yixuan that there was a ’ding’ sound as the Great Commander set down his teacup, smiled, and looked towards where Old Lady Qin was.
"Lady Qin, how have you been in recent years?"
Old Lady Qin’s eyes twinkled. She thought she had intended to remain inactive, but this Great Commander... "Hehe, good, good, things have been quite well, everything’s fine."
