Kaiyang's Discomfort
Chapter 280 Kaiyang's Discomfort
Hua finally listened to her father-in-law's words. After leaving her parents-in-law's yard with her husband, she frequently looked towards the guest room.
"If not, shall your husband accompany you to take a look?" Wei Zizheng felt sorry for his wife, but at the same time, he also wanted to see his son.
Although I had met him before and had eaten at the same table with him, I didn't know at that time that he was my biological son.
Now that I know, my mood is naturally different.
Thinking of what he had learned from his father, that before the children met Miss Hong, they had been following a man and wandering around begging, and that the man was said to be very bad to the children, Wei Zizheng felt both hatred and heartache.
The couple walked hand in hand towards the guest room. Wei Zizheng could feel that his wife was getting excited again, and his hand was a little painful from her grip.
They soon arrived at the guest room, but saw that there was no light in the room where Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang lived. It was quiet inside, and they must have fallen asleep.
"Otherwise, how about we think of an excuse to knock on the door?" Feeling his wife's disappointment, Wei Zizheng whispered.
Hua shook his head and said, "They must be tired from traveling, so I won't bother them. Brother Zheng, can you stay here with me for a while?"
Wei Zizheng knew how to say no, so he stood with his wife in the yard for about two quarters of an hour. Only when she said she wanted to go back did he leave.
Despite such a big thing that happened during the whole day after returning to the capital, Hua Shi did not suffer from insomnia. She fell asleep quickly after washing and lying down. Wei Zizheng, who was lying beside her, heard his wife's laughter for the first time in the years since Tong Er's accident, and it was in his dream.
He also made a decision. Even if there was a real reversal later and Kaiyang was not his biological son, he would try his best to keep the child.
If it really doesn't work, and his wife wants to leave the capital with the child, he won't stop her. He doesn't want to force his wife to stay by his side, as long as she is happy.
Kaiyang slept very soundly that night.
Hong Xiaoduo, who lived in the same room with him, fell asleep only in the second half of the night.
The next morning, Hong Xiaoduo, who usually slept late, woke up early. Seeing that it was still early, she saw Kaiyang getting up cautiously and preparing to open the door on tiptoe.
Knowing that the child was going to learn martial arts, I didn't call him.
I must tell this child today. Hong Xiaoduo despises herself. She has come all the way here, and it has been so many days, but she is still not sure about telling Kaiyang the truth.
When I got up and washed, Zi Yue, who was guarding outside the door, heard the noise and quickly greeted and came in.
She wanted to help Hong Xiaoduo wash and dress, but she refused.
Zi Yue went to the bed to tidy up the bedding, but found that both beds had been made and the bedding was neatly folded.
"Miss Hong, the master arranged for us to come here to serve you two." Zi Yue said in a low voice.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said, "I'm not used to it."
"Young lady, you will get used to it if you adapt yourself." Zi Yue said quickly.
"I won't live here permanently, so naturally I don't need to adapt. Don't worry, your Lord Wei knows my temper and won't blame you for being careless." As he spoke, Hong Xiaoduo finished washing up.
When she walked out of the door, she saw Kaiyang squatting in the open space outside the door, his little face flushed and his forehead covered with sweat.
"It's almost time to rest. Go take a shower and change into dry clothes. Don't let your grandfather and the others wait for us for breakfast." Seeing that Kaiyang had no intention of stopping, Hong Xiaoduo spoke.
After hearing her words, Kaiyang stood up straight immediately and went into the house to wash up. At this time, Kaiyang began to mutter in his heart, if he was not a guest at someone's house, he would not be so particular about washing and changing clothes after practicing martial arts in the morning, even if he was sweating, and would wait until after the evening practice before taking a bath.
This morning, Awenxue was smart and Kaiyang didn't let him serve him. However, after Kaiyang finished washing and changed into dry clothes, he turned around to put away the clothes he had taken off and would wash them again after coming back from breakfast, only to find that the clothes and cloth socks he had taken off were missing.
"Don't look for it anymore. Awen took it away. He should have sent it for laundry." Hong Xiaoduo didn't see anyone coming out. When she went into the house to look for someone, she found Kaiyang looking for something. She guessed it and told him.
"I can wash it myself." Kaiyang muttered.
Hong Xiaoduo reached out to help him fix his hair and said, "Okay, I know you're diligent, but we're guests in the mansion now, so we should follow the local customs."
While they were talking, a maidservant beside Qi came over and said that breakfast was ready.
The breakfast at the Wei Mansion was also very sumptuous, but Kaiyang was not very comfortable while eating because he felt that his grandfather's family were all acting strangely today, especially the way they looked at him, which was similar to the way Hua Shi looked at him at the beginning.
Although the seven of them followed Hong Xiaoduo when they were outside, whether in restaurants or shopping, they always attracted other people's attention. The seven of them had long been used to it.
However, the expressions of my grandfather’s family of four are completely different from those of passers-by.
Moreover, they kept serving him food, so the plate in front of him was never empty.
Are they grateful for the warm hospitality given to a little guest like me? That was the first meal after entering the mansion yesterday afternoon. It wasn't the same at dinner yesterday. What happened to them today?
Hong Xiaoduo noticed Kaiyang's discomfort. Looking at Qi and her son and daughter-in-law's reactions to Kaiyang, Hong Xiaoduo knew that they were acting like this because Lord Wei had already told them the truth.
Similarly, the attitude of the Wei family towards her was different from before. Now, they looked at Hong Xiaoduo with a kind of gratefulness.
However, Hong Xiaoduo did not feel uncomfortable.
"Kaiyang, after dinner, shall we go to the street to watch the shadow play? We agreed on that yesterday." Hua said as she picked up another crystal steamed dumpling for Kaiyang.
Upon hearing this, Kaiyang immediately looked at Hong Xiaoduo, waiting for her response.
"There's no rush for the shadow play. I heard Kaiyang say yesterday that there are a lot of fish in the lotus pond behind your house. I want to take Kaiyang to go fishing." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
The four members of the Wei family were all smart people. After hearing this, they all thought of a possibility. She should be looking for a quiet environment to talk to Kaiyang about that matter!
"Fishing? That's great. It's up to you two to decide what kind of fish the kitchen will cook for us at noon." Lord Wei immediately smiled.
Wei Zizheng immediately ordered people to prepare fishing rods and bait.
Kaiyang was young after all, so he didn’t think about anything else. No matter what he did, he just had to follow Hong Xiaoduo.
"Uncle, come fishing with us. Let's compete to see who catches the fish first and who catches the biggest fish?" Kaiyang asked the oldest first.
Lord Wei said hurriedly, "My father has to go to the Ministry of Revenue to deal with official documents today, so we can compare them later."
Kaiyang looked at Hua again and was about to ask, but then he remembered that this lady had already found her biological son, so she didn't need to coax him anymore, so he swallowed the words back.
After breakfast, Hong Xiaoduo took Kaiyang and followed Awen towards the lotus pond.
Qi remembered and asked her maid to go to the lotus pond and set up a few oil umbrellas for shade.
Yin and the child standing not far away looked at this side, their little faces were very unhappy: "Why are they so enthusiastic about that little guest? I also want to go fishing, why don't you come and ask me?"
Yin's face, which was already unhappy, became even uglier. Last night, Mrs. Wei had dinner with the children, but today...
