Min sent back, she didn’t have much to worry about.

As the Grand Dowager spoke, she stood up and walked into the green gauze cabinet, looking at the sleeping Min, with an expression of tenderness in her eyes, she gently touched Min’s little face and sighed: "I wonder if sending him back will make him overthink."

Nanny Wu followed behind, and whispered: "Young Master Min is sensible, he will certainly understand your good intentions."

The Grand Dowager then let out a long sigh and said lightly: "I hope so!" After speaking, she went to look at Xing on the other side.

Nanny Wu showed a hesitant expression and asked the Grand Dowager: "Sending Young Master Min back, what about Young Master Xin..."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Dowager shook her head without the slightest hesitation and replied: "Xing will stay here. Chengning has many responsibilities to manage and doesn’t have the energy to take care of him, it’s better to keep him with me." Most importantly, she’s really not assured of Xing’s health.

Nanny Wu understood the Grand Dowager’s concerns, so she said no more.

The Grand Dowager looked at Sheng again. The matter from the afternoon was inquired by Mr. Song, and the Grand Dowager knew it started because of Sheng, but he has yet to admit a word of wrongdoing.

She couldn’t help but shake her head and sighed.

When Xiqiu came into the Grand Dowager’s room the next morning to pay respects, the Grand Dowager said to her: "The children are growing up, and it’s no longer appropriate for them to stay in the green gauze cabinet. I was thinking of tidying up a few side rooms in the courtyard for the children to live in once the weather gets warmer!" She spoke in a consulting tone.

Xiqiu listened, secretly raised an eyebrow, wondering why the Grand Dowager would discuss such a matter with her today. Though puzzled inside, she replied: "Three children living in one place with the nanny girls coming in and out does feel a bit cramped, but it’s good that it’s near you. If they each have separate rooms, moving back and forth would tire you out."

The Grand Dowager gets up every night to check on the children’s rooms; moving them out would indeed be inconvenient!

Listening to this, the Grand Dowager smiled and said: "It’s only a few steps, it’s no problem." As she said this, she smiled at Xiqiu and continued: "There’s something I want to discuss with you."

Xiqiu immediately looked serious, looking at the Grand Dowager.

With a smile, the Grand Dowager mentioned: "When you first joined the family, I kept Min beside me, fearing your young age and Min being shy and isolated wouldn’t work well together. Now I see you two getting along quite well..."

Xiqiu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, realizing what the Grand Dowager was about to propose.

Sure enough, the Grand Dowager said: "Why not pick a day to let Min move to your side? With him there, your room will be livelier; what do you think?"

It’s the first time the Grand Dowager spoke to her in such a tone, and Xiqiu asked in surprise: "Mother, are you suggesting that Min move to my place?"

The Grand Dowager nodded, then raised her eyebrows, looking at Xiqiu: "What, you are unwilling?"

"No," Xiqiu quickly waved her hand, not understanding why the Grand Dowager suddenly felt assured to let her take care of the child, but smiled and nodded: "I’m just worried that I might not take good care and instead will trouble you."

Seeing Xiqiu reassure her, the Grand Dowager relaxed and laughed: "You’re careful as always, not to mention, Min is your child, so I won’t worry if he’s with you." A teasing remark.

Xiqiu saw the Grand Dowager’s light-hearted tone and smiled as well: "Then I’ll bring Min over to Mother’s place and refuse to leave!"

Even Nanny Wu couldn’t help but laugh.

As Min peered over, the Grand Dowager saw him and waved him over, saying: "Min, come to grandmother here." Min walked over to stand beside the Grand Dowager.

The Grand Dowager tenderly stroked his head, gently asked: "Does it still hurt?"

Min shook his head and replied: "It doesn’t hurt!" He paused and then added: "Grandmother, are we going to the teacher’s today?"

The Grand Dowager blinked, squinted her eyes at the green gauze cabinet, furrowed her brow and asked: "Would you like a different teacher?" She intentionally raised her voice a bit.

Sure enough, as soon as the Grand Dowager finished speaking, Xing and Sheng ran out of the room, shaking their heads repeatedly, tugging at the Grand Dowager’s sleeve, pleading: "Grandmother, the teacher is very nice, and his lessons are very interesting, we don’t want to change."

Although Mr. Song’s teachings are somewhat unconventional compared to other teachers, they are still acceptable, and after all, yesterday was indeed unexpected, the Grand Dowager shouldn’t be so drastic.

She glanced at Sheng who seemed to understand the Grand Dowager’s intention, so he sat quietly aside, saying nothing.

The Grand Dowager furrowed her brows and sighed: "You’ve only attended a few days of classes, and already two of you are hurt; how can grandmother be at ease?"

Xing’s eyes reddened, shaking his head, said: "The injury...the injury was our fault, it had nothing to do with the teacher." Min also softly added: "It’s my fault, making grandmother worried!" Saying so, he lowered his little head.

Xiqiu looked at Sheng, seeing him quietly release the Grand Dowager’s sleeve and shrink back. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The Grand Dowager turned to Min and said: "How can it be your fault, you got hurt too!"

Min quickly glanced at Xiqiu, replied: "I...it’s because I accidentally fell, dragging Xing into getting hurt." Saying so, he actually knelt down beside the Grand Dowager’s feet, eyes red but not crying: "Please grandmother, punish me!"

The Grand Dowager did not immediately let Min rise, her eye corner glanced at Sheng.

The Grand Dowager was waiting for Sheng to admit fault on his own.

Seeing Min like this, Xing also knelt beside him, crying, and Nanny Wu worried secretly, feeling heartache.

Sheng shrunk back further, his fists tightly clenched, lips pursed, his eyes reddened too, he didn’t speak, his gaze firmly fixed on his toes, the Grand Dowager continued silently, frowning at him.

The room was filled only with Xing’s low sobbing and Nanny Wu’s long sighs.

Xiqiu watched the two small figures kneeling on the floor, feeling heartache herself!

"Grandmother!" Suddenly Sheng ran over to kneel beside Min, sobbing as he said fragmentarily: "Grand...Grandmother, it’s...it’s my...my fault; it’s not their...fault."

Min abruptly raised his head to look at Sheng, Xing also watched him tensely.

The Grand Dowager sighed, her eyes showing relief, asking: "Tell me, how was it your fault?"

Sheng lowered his head, choking as he replied: "It was me, I pushed Min, if it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt, grandmother, please punish me." Saying that, he cried loudly.

Xing sobbed softly too.

Min bit his lip, his little fists clenched tightly, face full of stubbornness.

The children are still young, a minor lesson will suffice, the Grand Dowager glanced at Nanny Wu who wiped her eyes and, along with the nursemaid, helped the three children up.
