Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 317 Still Not Coming Out
That day, Hong Xiaoduo brought Kaiyang to Wei's house. When she told Wei Junpei that Kaiyang was his grandson and identified him as Wei Junpei, she cleaned and decorated the room that had been prepared long ago and gave it to Kaiyang to live in.

Of course, if Hong Xiaoduo had not come to Beijing to inform him of Kaiyang’s affairs, the fake Tong’er would have officially moved into that carefully decorated room after the recognition ceremony was held in Wei’s Mansion.

Hong Xiaoduo did not let the other party's evil plan succeed, and Kaiyang did not move into that room. He lived in the same room with her these days.

He suddenly wanted to live by himself last night, and everyone just thought that he was reluctant to part with Hong Xiaoduo, so he cried alone in his room.

Wei Zizheng arranged some people to guard secretly, and a servant named Awen was waiting at the door.

Awen said that before dawn today, a candle was lit in the young master's room, and he was outside asking if he wanted to go in and serve him. The young master opened the door and said he was hungry, and asked Awen to help him find something to eat.

Awen went to the kitchen and woke up the cook to make a bowl of noodles.

The noodles were brought to the young master's room. He opened the door and took it, then closed the door and said that he wanted to sleep for a while after eating.

And then, that was it.

Awen said that when he saw the young master in the morning, his eyes were red and swollen, probably because he had been crying.

"Maybe he didn't want Xiaoduo to see him crying? Or maybe he was afraid that he would cry again if he saw Xiaoduo? So, he found a place to hide?" Hua guessed.

In any case, Awen saw Kaiyang in the morning, which made Hua feel relieved and she was sure that her son had not been kidnapped again.

"You don't have to worry. He is very smart. He will come out on his own after I leave. He may be depressed in the first few days, but he will get better slowly." Hong Xiaoduo comforted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Qi and Hua.

Although it would be a pity not to see Kaiyang when she leaves, it is also a good thing. Otherwise, Hong Xiaoduo feels that she would not be able to help but drop gold beans if she is not careful.

After parting with Kaiyang, she really didn’t know if she would have the chance to see him again.

Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Hong Xiaoduo ate steamed dumplings and fried eggs, then stood up without any delay and said goodbye to Wei Junpei and his wife, and their son and daughter-in-law.

There was no need to give any meaningless instructions. Kaiyang was the only son and grandson in their family, so they would naturally take care of him and bring him up.

"Xiaoduo, remember to come to Beijing for a visit." Wei Junpei also did not use the tone of an elder to remind her to be careful on the road.

When walking outside, this little girl is more powerful than this old man.

Well, even in the capital city where he had served as an official for many years, she was more capable than himself, a second-rank Minister of Personnel. When she met His Majesty for the first time, this little girl was not only calm and steady, but also extorted one thousand taels of gold from His Majesty.

What Eunuch Fu sent today was not only one thousand and two gold notes, but also three Ganoderma lucidum and two hundred-year-old ginsengs as tribute, which were specifically given to her.

She even said she didn't need it and wanted to leave it to this old man, but he wouldn't accept it and stuffed it all into the carriage.

With her courage, Wei Junpei really feels inferior to her.

Back then, he was the runner-up in the imperial examination and was ordered to enter the palace to meet the emperor. He was nineteen at that time, and was together with the top three candidates in the imperial examination, as well as a dozen other Jinshi candidates. He was so nervous that he was sweating, and his voice was trembling when he replied to the emperor.

Hmm? Why is this guy here again? Wei Junpei and the others were surprised to see the tomb on horseback outside the mansion gate. Are they so close? He didn't even go to the morning court yesterday, but came to the mansion gate early in the morning to pick him up. He has been walking around all day, and he wants to see him off in person today?
"What is Prince Mu doing?" Wei Junpei watched Mu Rongjing make a gesture, and a man behind him pulled a carriage and went to the back of the carriage he had prepared for Hong Xiaoduo.

"I bought some things for Tianshu's kids." Mu Rongjing said to Wei Junpei, and also to Hong Xiaoduo.

Hong Xiaoduo looked at me and said, didn’t you buy a lot yesterday?

Mu Rongjing looked at Hong Xiaoduo and said helplessly, "My mother found out about Tianshu and the others and felt sorry for them, so the things in this carriage were all prepared by her."

He couldn't talk about what happened last night, as his mother kept asking him all kinds of questions. He then briefly told her how he met Hong Xiaoduo.

Then, when he left the mansion early this morning, he saw the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and it was filled with things. He casually flipped through it and saw writing brushes, inkstones, silks and satins, some small items, and dried fruits and candied fruits.

"When you go back, pick them out when you have time. Keep the useful ones and dispose of the unused ones." Mu Rongjing said to Hong Xiaoduo.

"I'd like to thank the princess on behalf of Tianshu and the others. Prince, please convey my gratitude to them for me." Hong Xiaoduo didn't expect that Prince Mu's mother would also send something.

Hong Xiaoduo didn't like the atmosphere of parting. After a few words, she bowed and said goodbye to Wei Junpei's family, then turned around and got on the carriage.

Wei Zizheng was riding a horse, and together with Mu Rongjing, he escorted two carriages out of the city.

After leaving the city gate, Hong Xiaoduo stopped the carriage, opened the door and said to the two people on the horse: "Okay, let's take you here. We will meet again in the future. Goodbye now."

Seeing her like this, Mu Rongjing and the others didn't want to insist on seeing her off any further, so they said in unison that they wished her a safe journey.

Hong Xiaoduo closed the car door and asked the driver to start off.

Outside the city gate, Wei Zi on horseback was watching Hong Xiaoduo's carriage going farther and farther away. He turned around and saw that Prince Mu had no intention of entering the city. He coughed lightly, said hello, turned his horse around, and went back to the city to find his son and comfort him.

Mu Rongjing turned his horse around, and before entering the city, he couldn't help but look back and frowned. Why did the two carriages change direction?

At this time, the driver of the carriage arranged by the Wei Mansion was also surprised. Why did Miss Hong change her mind?
The coachman from the Marquis of Fu'an's mansion was much calmer. The prince had asked him to drive the carriage and follow Miss Hong to deliver the things in the carriage.

He also said that he should follow the young lady's arrangements on the road. After the things were delivered, the carriage could be left behind and he could find a way to come back by himself. There was no time limit.

So, he didn't care at all where the carriage in front was going or what it was going to, he just followed it!

The Wei family prepared a carriage for Hong Xiaoduo. Half of the space was occupied by things wrapped in cotton cloth and packed in gift boxes, which were also very carefully placed. The remaining space was ample for her to sit or lie down.

At this moment, Hong Xiaoduo leaned on the cushion, looking at the corner of the robe sticking out from under the wide stool at her feet, and tried hard not to bend over and reach out to pull out the little guy hidden underneath.

The carriage drove along the road outside the capital and made a circle, which took nearly half an hour.

"Still not coming out? If you don't come out, I'll continue to circle the city wall." Hong Xiaoduo patted the wide stool with her hand. It was already late autumn and the weather was not that hot, but there was still a curtain hanging on the edge of the wide stool in the carriage. It must be stuffy and uncomfortable to hide inside...
