Chapter 397
296: Sigh (3 more)
Grandma Chen smiled and praised, “He has only learned to walk a few days ago, and he’s still not very steady. Luckily, this child has a calm nature and is not impatient. I have never seen such a sensible and obedient child who is so endearing!”
Grandma Chen looked at Xie Yi with full-hearted affection.
To say she was like his real grandmother was no exaggeration.
“Our Ayi is so amazing!” Xie Zhinuan kissed Xie Yi’s soft, tender cheeks.
Xie Yi broke into a grin, kissing Xie Zhinuan back, snuggled in her arms, his cheeks turning a bit red.
Xie Zhinuan felt warm inside too.
Carrying him over to look at the painting on Xuan paper, “This is mom’s courtyard, and this here is Ayi’s courtyard. In the future, Ayi will live here, very close to mom. When Ayi grows up…”
As Xie Zhinuan spoke, she thought of Xie Yi’s illness, and she silently swore to herself that she would study medicine diligently. One day, she would cure Xie Yi so that he could marry, have children, and live a peaceful, contented life.
“Our Ayi will definitely be happy, very happy!”
This was the simplest and most sincere blessing.
When Xie Yi grew up, and she had made enough money, in the next ten or twenty years, she would teach him diligently and take care of him tenderly, so he could lead an open and honest life, even if it was one with physical ailments, but not of the heart.
Xie Yi looked up at Xie Zhinuan and saw her eyes were slightly red, filled with love and tenderness; he decided then, he would not dwell on his past life. Given a second chance, he would listen well to his mother and be a good child.
Just as mom hoped and wished, happy and joyful.
Without too many worries, without jealousy, without unnecessary thoughts.
Physical illness doesn’t count for much.

After Xie Zhinuan finished drawing the layout of the house, she set it aside and called over Silly Girl, “Is everything ready for each manor?”“Everything is ready. We’ll send it all over tomorrow!”
Xie Zhinuan nodded.
That was very good.
Buying these few manors had cost quite a lot, and though the returns were modest, they were not nonexistent.
If one didn’t have too many demands, there were certainly gains to be had.
“Good!”
The New Year was almost upon them.
She wondered if Xie Rong had arrived home?
Carrying Xie Yi to the door, “Ayi, what do you see there?”
“Snow!”
“Marvelous!”
Xie Zhinuan carried Xie Yi to touch the freshly fallen snow, to feel the leaves, their laughter echoing long in the courtyard.
28th day of the twelfth lunar month
The Capital
People were unloading Xie Rong’s belongings from the ship, and the Marquis’ servants, who had been waiting at the dock, immediately greeted him. “Third young master, you’re back. The lady mentioned you just the other day!”
Xie Rong chuckled lightly.
Getting into the carriage felt a lot lighter.
The servants were stunned.
The third young master actually smiled.
That was truly strange.
Upon returning to the manor, Xie Rong brought back many things; Lady Marquis quickly pulled him into the room, eagerly asking, “Well?”
Xie Rong nodded, “I found her. Sister is doing well. I guess she must know, but because she’s lost her memory, she’s afraid of making a mistake. Not daring to ask me, she didn’t come back with me. But mother, sister is really well, truly, doing exceptionally well!”
As Xie Rong spoke, he took out the items one by one.
“This is from sister. She gave five medicine pills, saying they’re extremely good. We each take one!”
“And this Brocade Box, also prepared by sister. Open it and see, mother!” Xie Rong handed over the Brocade Box.
Lady Marquis, holding the porcelain bottle and the Brocade Box, cried until she was a mess of tears, “I, I’m not a good mother, yet she is a good daughter. She’s worried, afraid that without her memory, we would reject her. But, but…”
A child born from ten months of pregnancy.
How could there be any rejection? They couldn’t wait to show their love.
