Chapter 355 Parents Arrive in the Capital
The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the ground. Old Lady Yang took Xiao Cao'er back to the Yang family. After all, it was not suitable for the two women to live in the Yunwang Mansion for a long time without a mistress to manage it.
Qi Xingyun, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe and standing tall as a pine tree, personally escorted the two back to the front door of the Yang family. With a smile on his face, he said softly to Old Lady Yang: "Grandma, it is a pity that I was unable to keep you for a longer time at home this time and hurried back. When I am free in the future, I will definitely invite you to stay at home for a few days and have a good tour."
Yun Liu, who was standing at the side, followed closely behind Old Lady Yang, with a flattering look on his face, and agreed in a flattering manner: "Yes, Old Lady Yang! The scenery in our mansion is so beautiful. When you are free, Xiao Liu will come in person to welcome you to the mansion for sightseeing."
Yesterday, Yun Liu had other things to do and did not go shopping with them. He was scared when he heard what happened later. If any of the eldest prince, the princess, or Miss Cao'er had been injured, they, the servants, would have been blamed and would have been skinned alive.
This morning, when he heard that Old Lady Yang was going back, Yun Liu started preparing a carload of rich gifts for Old Lady Yang. After everything was ready, he hurried to Qi Xingyun with a carefully written gift list, bowed and asked, "Sir, please take a look at this gift for Old Lady Yang. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Qi Xingyun glanced at Yun Liu standing beside him casually, then reached out to take the gift list he handed over. After just a casual glance, Qi Xingyun handed the gift list back to Yun Liu.
Yun Liu, who had been waiting respectfully for instructions, felt a little uneasy when he saw his master read the gift list but said nothing. So he asked carefully, "Master, is there anything that needs to be modified in this gift list? If there is anything inappropriate, please let me know and I will modify it right away."
However, to Yun Liu's surprise, Qi Xingyun actually shook his head, indicating that there was no need to change it, and said lightly: "No need, this arrangement is very good." After receiving a positive answer, Yun Liu felt relieved, and his heart finally settled down.
In fact, there was a reason why Yun Liu prepared this return gift so carefully.
When he came back from his inspection, he heard that when the young lady went to attend the autumn banquet held by Duke Liu's mansion, she was mocked by several powerful ladies from the capital as a country girl and was looked down upon and despised.
Therefore, this time he specially selected some high-quality fabrics, exquisite jewelry and unique ornaments as return gifts, thinking that these things would come in handy for the girl in her daily life.
Old Lady Yang, Xiao Cao'er, and Qi Xingyun entered the yard, and Yun Liu and others followed in with bags of things. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked quickly: "Xiao Liu, what's going on? Why did you bring so many things in?"
Yun Liu smiled as he quickly walked behind Old Lady Yang and gently placed the package in his hand on the table. He then replied respectfully, "Old Lady, these are all gifts for you! How can you come to visit our Prince Yun's Mansion without gifts in return? If others knew about this, they would say that we in the Prince Yun's Mansion don't observe etiquette!"
After hearing this, Old Lady Yang waved her hands and said, "Oh, what return gift? I left in a hurry that day and didn't have time to bring any gifts. How can I talk about return gifts? You should take these things back quickly and don't waste money like this."
Qi Xingyun stepped forward, took Old Lady Yang's hand and said softly, "Grandma, please don't refuse! You have taken good care of me on weekdays. This return gift is my way of showing my filial piety to you. Please accept it with peace of mind!"
Old Lady Yang was about to refuse again, but was interrupted by a guard who suddenly broke in.
The guard hurriedly came to Qi Xingyun, knelt on one knee and reported: "Sir, Mr. Yang and Madam Yang's motorcade has arrived outside the city."
When they heard the guard mention Master Yang and Madam Yang, Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er were stunned for a moment. For a moment, they were unable to connect these titles with Yang Dashan and Li.
Qi Xingyun understood what was going on when he saw this. He smiled and explained softly, "Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang's convoy has arrived, and they are almost at the city gate."
"Oh! Brother Xingyun, is it really my parents who are here?" Xiao Cao'er looked at Qi Xingyun with surprise and asked anxiously.
Qi Xingyun also smiled and nodded gently, "Yes, it's them."
Hearing this, Xiao Cao'er was so excited that she almost jumped up, and Old Lady Yang on the side couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Oh my, it turns out that Dashan and the others have arrived! Come on, should we go to greet them? I don't know if they know the way to our home." Her words could not hide her inner joy and anxiety.
