Chapter 2418: Chapter 9: Journey to the Capital
Little Mianmian felt extremely aggrieved, while the others present were initially stunned but quickly understood what was going on.
Everyone was amused and helpless, the old lady even gave Shu Yu a tap, “You mischievous ghost, how can you laugh at your own daughter like this?”
“It’s my fault, my fault, I should have explained things to her earlier.” Shu Yu was thoroughly amused by her daughter’s antics.
Little Mianmian gradually grasped the situation — they were going to the capital, but not for long, and would return soon?
She immediately brightened up, but the next moment, seeing the gift she had given away made her sad again.
What should she do, since the gift was already given, would she be a bad child if she regretted it?
The little one was troubled, even the old lady, who had been reproaching Shu Yu earlier, was now amused by her.
She put the rattle back in the box and said to Little Mianmian, “Since you’ll be back soon, there’s no rush to give us these things. You can give them next time when you go far away for a long journey, okay?”
Little Mianmian’s eyes lit up instantly, “Really?”
“Of course you can.” They’re not children; they don’t particularly like these things. It’s just that Little Mianmian’s thoughtful gesture is why they accepted them.
Everyone else put their things back in the box as well, and the little one hugged the box, giggling.
Shu Yu twitched her mouth, and after everyone finished saying their goodbyes, she took Little Mianmian’s hand and returned to the Meng family.
Early the next morning, they were set to depart.
When Little Mianmian woke up, Shu Yu and the others were already loading the travel boxes onto the carriage.
Seeing this, the little one immediately ran to carry her small box, “All of these must go.” These are all her treasures.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “You’ve packed enough things.”
Looking at the boxes on the carriage, she and Meng Yunzheng took up half the space, while the rest was all hers.
Especially clothes, there were many, with sets in various colors, styles, and seasons — it was quite impressive.
Plus her toys, picture books, favorite foods, everyday items, and even three custom-made bags.
These things she picked herself, if the house weren’t immovable, Shu Yu figured she’d want to carry the whole house with her.
Under Shu Yu’s strict instructions, they managed to leave half of the stuff at home.
Even so, it was still a lot.
And now she wanted to bring another box? Even a small box takes up space.
Little Mianmian looked at the carriage, then at the small box, and after a long face of contemplation, decisively swapped one of the boxes, fitting her beloved toys inside.
“Done, Mother.”
Shu Yu asked, “Are you sure there’s nothing else?”
“That’s all.”
Only then did Shu Yu strap her favorite fluffy rabbit backpack on her and lift her onto the carriage.
There were two carriages, and they rolled out of Fenghuai Street.
As they approached the city gates, they saw Zhao Xi standing on the roadside with Huohuo in tow, waiting.
“I’m entrusting my son to you.” As he spoke, Zhao Xi instructed the servants to load Huohuo’s things onto the rear carriage.
Once Huohuo got on, the group left the city and arrived at the manor.
At the manor, quite a few vehicles were already parked early on, forming a long queue waiting there.
The person at the front was none other than Yuan Gui, now the Chief Steward of the convoy.
Standing beside Yuan Gui was Kang Shuxian.
