Chapter 404 Master Tong Sends Hongxuan Away
Hongxuan was lying on the first lady's soft carved bed with her arms and legs spread out.
He smelled the delicate fragrance emanating from the bed sheets, couldn't help but raise his head and asked in a low voice:
"Mother, can Xuan'er really live here?"
The eldest wife raised her eyebrows and said to him deliberately:
"Since Xuan'er doesn't want to follow Mother, then Mother will send you to your father's house!"
Hongxuan stood up all of a sudden, snuggled up to the eldest wife, blinked her big eyes, showing her beautiful little front teeth, and asked the eldest wife hesitantly:
"Then, then...then, mother, are you going back?"
The eldest wife teased him deliberately:
"Of course I'm not going back! Mother is sick and has to stay at your grandfather's house for a while!"
Hongxuan suddenly became anxious. He hugged the eldest wife's waist tightly and cried, "Mother, I don't want to go back! Xuan'er wants to live with her mother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan'er, who had been crying softly, suddenly cried louder and louder. He felt wronged and unwilling, and burst into tears as if he had gone through untold hardships to find his mother.
The tears that the eldest lady had been holding back burst out, and she suddenly hugged Hongxuan tightly in her arms.
The eldest wife sobbed and said, "Xuan'er, don't worry, mother will never abandon you again!"
Yanhong was doing needlework outside. When the eldest daughter came back with Hongxuan at noon today, she couldn't help but be surprised:
Didn’t the master say that Xuan’er is missing?
He and his wife went to the temple early in the morning to burn incense for their child. What was going on?
She thought that with so many people looking for Hongxuan, she would find him, right?
So without thinking too much, she boiled some hot water and gave Hongxuan a bath.
The events of the past few days had exhausted the eldest wife. After giving Hongxuan a bath, she wanted to take Hongxuan to have a good rest, so she asked the maids to leave.
Yanhong thought that the prince and the eldest lady didn't come often, so she picked up the brocade and wanted to embroider a bellyband for Hongxuan.
When she was measuring the size of her bellyband with her hands, she heard crying from the inner room. She hurriedly put down her needlework and went to see what was going on.
I saw the eldest lady and Xuan'er hugging each other and crying.
For a moment, Yanhong thought of her younger brother at home.
If it weren't for the need to support her young brother, why would she have to serve in this large mansion?
Thinking of this, Yanhong felt a surge of pity and hurriedly brought a plate of fruit and a plate of cakes to comfort Xuan'er.
Unexpectedly, when Hongxuan saw those fruits, he suddenly remembered the fruits he had eaten at the land temple in the past few days to satisfy his hunger.
What kind of days those were! He couldn't find the way back home, nor could he find the way to his grandfather's house. The once noble prince suddenly became a beggar on the street!
But he is worse than a beggar!
Thinking of this, Hongxuan, who had slowly stopped crying, suddenly burst into tears again.
He pointed at the fruit and cried out:
"Xuan'er never wants to eat fruit again!
Aunt Hong, do you know how many insect-eaten fruits Xuan'er ate in the land temple?
Yanhong was already thinking about her younger brother who lost his mother at a young age. When she heard Hongxuan say that, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She hurriedly took the fruit off the table, came to Hongxuan, and hugged him in her arms.
She rested her chin on Hongxuan's forehead and whispered:
"Xuan'er, be good. We will never suffer this kind of torture again!"
Maybe it was because he was tired and uneasy these days, or maybe it was because the small land temple was too cramped, which made Hongxuan unable to sleep well!
Today, lying on her mother's comfortable big bed, Hongxuan slowly closed her eyes.
The eldest wife and Yanhong pulled down the curtains beside the bed, and took a pillow and placed it next to Xuan'er. The eldest wife sat quietly on the bed, humming softly:
“Little kid, life is hard!
Cry, it’s painful!
No matter whether it is a blind bear or a big bad wolf!
Nestled in my mother's arms, I'm not afraid anymore!"
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she pulled Yanhong out and asked her quietly:
"Yanhong, tell me, did my father and mother know that Hongxuan was missing a long time ago?
Did they go looking for the child early in the morning?"
Yanhong glanced around, and seemed to be afraid of something, still hesitating and refusing to speak.
The eldest wife had no choice but to whisper:
"Tell me the truth.
Don't worry, my father and mother won't blame you!"
Yanhong lowered her voice and told her quietly: Yesterday, the master and the mistress knew about Xuan'er's matter!
They were afraid that you would worry after knowing it, so they kept telling us that we must keep it a secret from you!
They took some people to look for Hongxuan yesterday afternoon!
I went to the temple to make a wish early this morning! Unexpectedly, God has mercy on me and Xuan'er has found it!
The first wife then realized that her father and mother must still be out there with their team desperately searching for Hongxuan! She had to go and tell them that Xuan'er had been found!
They are already old, how can they withstand such torture!
Thinking of this, the eldest wife hurriedly told Yanhong to take good care of Hongxuan and she would be back soon.
Yanhong hurriedly followed her and shouted:
"Miss, Miss, the master and the mistress will be back this afternoon!
You can stay in the house with peace of mind!"
The eldest wife didn't hear anything else. She ran to the gatehouse and urged the coachman to drive the carriage away!
As soon as the first wife left, Mr. Tong and his wife came back.
They took their servants and searched every street and alley in the capital, almost looking for the rat holes!
Mrs. Tong was so anxious that she felt a little dizzy. She struggled to stand against the corner of the wall, but her balance was unstable and she almost fainted.
Fortunately, the maids supported Mrs. Tong in time.
Master Tong hurriedly asked the maid to bring Madam Tong back?
When Mrs. Tong thought about the little child who might be suffering somewhere or even being sold by someone else, she was unwilling to go back home!
Mr. Tong was afraid that this ordeal would tire Mrs. Tong out, so he personally sent her back.
When they walked to the backyard and saw the children's clothes drying in the courtyard, they were shocked - their grandchildren had gone to other provinces with their son, so whose clothes did these children belong to?
Coincidentally, they saw Yanhong sitting at the door embroidering a bellyband.
Master Tong snorted loudly, and Yanhong looked up and found that the master and his wife had returned.
She thought they knew Hongxuan had been found, so she put down her embroidery, smiled and went over to them, saying flatteringly:
"Master, Madam, the prince has fallen asleep. I will embroider a bellyband for him!"
Master Tong was surprised: "Prince?"
As if he couldn't believe his ears, he pointed to the eldest wife's room and asked Yanhong:
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yanhong naturally said with a smile:
"That's right, Master and Madam, go and have a look, the little one is sleeping soundly!"
Mr. and Mrs. Tong were stunned when they heard this - Hongxuan was found?
They came to the eldest lady's room with great joy.
When they looked at the sleeping little fellow, they couldn't help but shout with joy:
"God bless, God bless, the incense is burning well today!"
Mrs. Tong was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She touched Hongxuan's little head and said:
"This guy looks so much like Jun'er!"
Yanhong beside her smiled and said, "Madam, look, does this bellyband I embroidered look good on the prince?"
Mrs. Tong took the bellyband with a smile, put it on Hongxuan to measure it, put on her reading glasses to check the stitching, and said with a smile:
"Well, that's right. Lian brings good luck. Doesn't that mean she brought Hongxuan here?"
Just then, Hongxuan was woken up.
He heard laughter beside him, and when he opened his eyes he found that it was his grandparents!
He stood up hastily with a grunt, took Madam Tong's hand and said coquettishly:
"Grandma, Xuan'er wants to stay with mother for a while!
Grandma, please agree to Xuan'er's request!"
Mrs. Tong naturally didn't know about the affairs between the First Lady and Prince Beijing. She thought that since the child wanted to live here, then let him stay.
She hurriedly held Hongxuan in her arms, stroking his little face, and said happily:
"Silly child, you can stay at grandma's house as long as you want!
I'm telling you, your uncle will be back soon and will definitely bring you lots of delicious food!"
Hongxuan jumped out of bed with joy, clapping her hands and shouting:
"Okay, okay, uncle is back!"
Unexpectedly, Master Tong, who had been silent on the side, frowned suddenly. He glanced at the jumping Hongxuan and said lightly:
"Xuan'er, dear, now that you're awake, grandpa will take you back soon!
Your father has been worried sick these days since you were lost!"
Hongxuan hurried to Master Tong's side, raised her little head, and asked softly:
"Then will my mother go back?"
Master Tong said coldly: "No, I will only send you back. Your mother still needs to recover here!"
When Hongxuan heard this, he burst into tears. He took Master Tong's hand and asked him eagerly:
"Grandfather, why, why can't Xuan'er be with mother?
Did Xuan'er do something wrong? "
Master Tong understood that it was a good thing that he and Bijun had taken the wrong road just now, otherwise who knows what would have happened if he had sent Hongxuan off in front of her!
He hardened his heart and shouted:
"Horseman, hurry up and drive the carriage! Take Hongxuan to Prince Beijing's mansion!"
