Chapter 1109: The Suppleness Around the Fingers of Little Prince Xiao (21)_2
Outside, Xiao Moxi saw Ye Yueying enter the house and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Yingying, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
In the side chamber, Madam Weng, who was resting, looked at Ye Yueying with a face full of concern.
Ye Yueying lowered her hand, forced out a faint smile, and walked toward Madam Weng: "Grandmother, I'm fine, it's just a bit cold outside."
Hearing this, Madam Weng finally relaxed, pulling Ye Yueying to sit down, her face radiating with a strong smile.
Ye Yueying was surprised by her grandmother's joy: "Grandmother, this...?"
The nanny waiting on Madam Weng chuckled and said, "Just now Madam drew an excellent fortune for you." She then explained the process of drawing the stick and interpreting its meaning.
Madam Weng tightly held Ye Yueying's hand and sighed, "These past two years, I've been worrying about your marriage, fearing that after I am gone, your aunt might hastily arrange a match just to settle you."
"Thankfully, your parents are watching over you from Heaven. Now that the Great Grandson has granted you an audience, coupled with the dowry left by the Ye Family, you will surely find a good match."
Seeing her elderly grandmother worrying so much about her future, Ye Yueying felt a deep sense of guilt and remorse: "Grandmother..."
Madam Weng stroked her granddaughter's hair bun lovingly: "Today I received an excellent fortune. With the Buddha Clan's protection, my Yingying will surely be happy and healthy in the days to come."
Ye Yueying's nose tingled with emotion as she leaned her head against Madam Weng's shoulder.
Madam Weng gently patted Ye Yueying's back and spoke softly, "All the hardships of this world, Yingying has already endured. In the future, you are certain to live a smooth and prosperous life."
After a moment of silence, Ye Yueying calmed her emotions, noticing the snow outside showed no signs of stopping. She then said, "Grandmother, this snow doesn't seem likely to stop anytime soon. I think we should head back now."
Madam Weng nodded, allowing Ye Yueying to carefully assist her out of the side chamber.
Stepping out of the room, Ye Yueying instinctively paused to glance around before she helped Madam Weng toward the carriage.
...
"Finally, they're coming out!"
Beside the Weng Family carriage, Wu Yutang, bored from waiting, sat inside another carriage and occasionally lifted the curtain to peer outside. Upon seeing Ye Yueying helping Madam Weng approach, he hurriedly informed Xiao Moxi, who was pretending to read a book inside.
Wu Yutang snatched the book from Xiao Moxi's hand: "Alright, stop pretending and hurry out to meet the elders."
Xiao Moxi glared at Wu Yutang, straightened his robe, and then stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing Xiao Moxi appear once more, Ye Yueying's eyes flickered with surprise, and her lips unknowingly curved into a soft smile.
"Greetings, Madam Weng! I hope you are well!"
Wu Yutang, being an outsider to this matter, energetically stepped past Xiao Moxi and was the first to greet Madam Weng.
Madam Weng froze for a moment: "This gentleman is...?"
Wu Yutang smiled and said, "We are friends of Miss Ye." As he spoke, he nudged Xiao Moxi with his elbow. "Right?"
Madam Weng immediately looked to Ye Yueying.
Ye Yueying appeared slightly uneasy. Seeing Xiao Moxi watching her with a look that clearly awaited her introduction, she had no choice but to speak: "Grandmother, this is Mr. Xiao, and this is Mr. Wu. They were the ones who handled the Ren Feng case. My father's name was cleared thanks to their help."
Upon hearing Ye Yueying's words, Madam Weng earnestly directed her gratitude toward Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang: "This old woman thanks the two gentlemen for seeking justice for the Ye Family."
Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang both stepped aside to avoid Madam Weng's bow.
Xiao Moxi reached out and lightly supported Madam Weng: "Madam, you're too kind. This was merely our duty, and also Miss Ye..."
At this point, Xiao Moxi noticed Ye Yueying discreetly shaking her head at him.
Xiao Moxi quickly realized that the matter of Ye Yueying personally avenging her father was something the Weng Family likely did not know about. Hastily, he adjusted his words: "General Ye was a loyal and virtuous leader; it was simply the right thing for us to do."
Following this, Madam Weng continued to express her deep gratitude toward the two men.
Xiao Moxi smiled at Madam Weng and Ye Yueying: "Are you two heading back to the manor now?"
Madam Weng smiled and nodded: "Yes, the snow is getting heavier, and we're concerned that if we linger too long, it might become impossible to traverse."
Xiao Moxi chimed in: "Perfect timing—we're preparing to head back as well. Let's travel together."
As he spoke, he explained further.
"In this snow, the roads are at their worst and accidents can easily happen. I noticed you don't have many servants accompanying you. If anything were to happen along the way, it would cause unnecessary trouble."
