[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 226 The Last Firewood

Yun Shi brought the medicine back and personally delivered it to the kitchen. He watched Xiao Liu put the medicine on the stove and warned her, "Remember, don't leave the stove for a moment, and don't let anyone get close to it."

"I understand." Xiao Liu nodded solemnly and agreed.

After giving Xiao Liu instructions, Yun Shi turned around and prepared to go back to his room to see Song.

But before he could even take a step out, he heard Xiao Liu say, "Second Young Master, when you were out, the master sent someone over again. He said that the master wanted the young masters to go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival."

"I understand." Yun Shi frowned, responded without turning his head, and walked out of the kitchen.

This is the nth time that father has sent someone over here?

Before, they sent people every day to ask them to go back for the New Year. After that, they sent people every other day to ask them to go back for the Lantern Festival. That must have happened at least seven or eight times, right?

When I entered Song's bedroom, she had already woken up and was leaning weakly on the large pillow at the head of the bed.

Only Yun Hui and Yun Zhao were in the room. Rong Enqing and Zhang had already left. Yun Ai was also brought back to Tingfeng Courtyard by Rong Enqing.

Seeing him come in, Song waved at him and motioned him to come over.

Yun Shi hurriedly walked to the bedside, "Mother!"

Song looked at Yun Shi lovingly, "You're back? It's hard for you to come here in person."

"This is what children should do."

Song pulled Yunshi to sit on the edge of the bed and said softly, "It was mother's idea for your younger sister to enter the palace. You misunderstood your grandmother. Go back and apologize to her. Did you hear me?"

Yun Shi frowned and remained silent. It was obvious that he did not believe what Song said.

"Second brother, this is true." Yun Hui advised, "You shouted so loudly before, the maids outside must have heard it. This matter must have reached grandma's ears. I think it's better for you to apologize to grandma. Grandma is kind and will not hold it against you."

"You are too impatient, kid. You don't even listen to what others say. What will you do if I'm not around to watch you?" Song looked at Yun Shi worriedly. "You should change your temper."

Yun Shi leaned over and hugged Song, "Mother, you will definitely live a long life! I want you to always be with us, watch us grow up, watch us get married and have children..."

Song raised her hand and gently rubbed Yunshi's head, her nose was sour and her eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to do it, but she knew it was impossible! So, she said nothing. She just quietly felt the child's attachment to her and felt the rare quiet time.

Afraid that Song might be tired, the three brothers did not dare to stay any longer. After talking for a while, they came out of the house and returned to Yunhui's room.

"Second brother, my sister's matter..."

Yun Hui was about to explain in detail about Yun Ai's entry into the palace, but was interrupted by Yun Shi, "Brother, I heard that father sent someone again?"

"Yes." Yun Hui nodded with a complicated expression.

Yun Shi asked, "What do you think?"

Yun Hui shook his head. "I don't know. The way my father and Aunt Jiang treated my mother... I, I can't get over it. I don't want to go back and face them."

Yun Shi smiled bitterly, "Brother, have you ever thought about the future? He is our father after all. We can't live in the Marquis' Mansion forever. We still have to return to our father!"

Yun Hui frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I want to go back and talk to my father." Yun Shi looked at Yun Hui with a firm gaze. "The fact that my father has sent people over here again and again shows that he still cares about us. So, I want to go back and talk to him, and ask him to let us take mother back with us."

"But, Father and Aunt Jiang want to kill Mother!" Yun Hui said anxiously, "If Mother goes back, will they let her go easily?"

Yun Shi bit his lip and said in a deep voice, "I will find a way to convince father. As long as father changes his mind, Aunt Jiang is nothing to be afraid of."

"But……"

"There's nothing to worry about. I will definitely be able to convince my father!" Yun Shi vowed.

Having made up his mind, Yun Shi went back to the second room in the afternoon and came back in the evening.

When I left, I was full of fighting spirit. When I came back, I looked confused.

Yunhui noticed that his brother looked upset, so he quietly pulled him into the house and asked, "What did father say to you? Why are you like this?"

Yun Shi shook his head in a daze, "It's okay, I'm fine. I just ran all day and I'm a little tired. I'll be fine after a good sleep."

Then he walked towards his room.

"It's time for dinner."

Yunhui called him from behind, but he went back to the house without even turning his head. He lay down with his clothes on and did not speak a word all night.

In the following days, Yun Hui kept observing Yun Shi and found that Yun Shi had slowly returned to his old self except for the first two days. He asked Yun Shi several times but he still refused to tell him what happened after he returned home. Gradually, he stopped taking Yun Shi's abnormality to heart.

Because the day when Yun Ai enters the palace is approaching.

The 16th day of the first lunar month was the deadline given by Concubine Liang. It was originally agreed to be before the Lantern Festival, but I don’t know if Concubine Liang suddenly felt guilty and sent someone to pass on the message that she could send someone to the palace after the Lantern Festival.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month was also the day when Yunhai set off for Changshui County.

These past few days, everyone has focused on packing for the two of them.

Especially Yunhai, this trip was a long journey and they would not be able to see each other for three years. Rong Enqing wanted to take everything with him.

As if sensing the atmosphere of parting, Yunying stayed by Yunhai's side without leaving for a moment.

Yun Ye and Zhang also prepared travel expenses and gifts for Yun Hai. Even Yun Luo personally brought Ah Shou to prepare a lot of delicious and long-lasting snacks for Yun Hai to eat on the road.

Comparatively speaking, Yun Ai only has Song and the Yun Hui brothers to take care of things for her.

Yun Shi saw everything, and his decision suddenly became more firm.

The Lantern Festival is a night of family reunion, but it is also a farewell banquet at the Shun'an Marquis Mansion.

The whole family sat together, but no one was in the mood to eat. They ate a little bit and then went their separate ways.

At the hour of Xu, bowls of hot dumplings were sent from the big kitchen to the courtyards of the masters in various parts of the marquis' mansion.

In the main courtyard, Yun Ye’s study.

Looking at the glutinous rice balls in front of him, Yun Ye frowned slightly, "Who sent them here?"

He never eats midnight snack.

"My Lord, this was sent from the main kitchen. It was said that the Madam saw that everyone did not eat much in the evening, so she ordered the main kitchen to make glutinous rice balls and sent a bowl to each master."

"Got it. Let it go."

The little maid bowed and retreated.

In the Tinghe Courtyard, Zhang, who had washed up and gone to bed, leaned against the bedside reading a book, saw the glutinous rice balls being delivered and waved her hand casually: "Take it away. I'm not hungry."

In Tingfeng Courtyard, Rong Enqing looked at the glutinous rice balls that were delivered. Just as he picked them up, he suddenly thought of Nanny Zhou's extremely disgusted look. He put down the bowl with a dull look and said dejectedly, "Forget it, I'm on a diet, so I won't eat it."

“These dumplings are so delicious!”

In Tinglan Courtyard, Yun Zhao looked up at his two brothers while eating.

Seeing that none of the dumplings in Yunshi's bowl were touched, he took advantage of Yunshi's unpreparedness and scooped one from his bowl into his own bowl with a spoon.

Yun Hui also noticed Yun Shi's dazed look, so he nudged him with his elbow, "Don't you like eating glutinous rice balls the most? Why don't you eat them?"

"Oh, eat it now." Yun Shi came back to his senses and picked up the spoon.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

Then someone loudly announced, "Everyone stay where you are. Do not move around without permission. Those who disobey the order will be severely punished!"
