Chapter 1898: Chapter 1901: Family Arrives in the Capital
"Prince Le is not like the legend at all," Yang Chuxia replied.
What she didn’t know was that Young Master Li and Prince Le could get along precisely because of their personalities.
"Let’s go, we’ll talk about it more when we get home."
By the time they arrived at Prince An’s Mansion, it was already noon. They had been delayed at the Li Residence and hadn’t even had lunch yet.
As they entered the courtyard, they could hear cheerful noises coming from inside.
"Uncle, don’t pick me up, don’t pick me up!" This was Yangyang’s voice, "I’m not your wife, if you want to hug someone, go hug your wife?"
"You cheeky brat, always talking nonsense."
"Who says I’m cheeky? I’m a sweet-scented boy, alright? I’m wearing fragrance, it’s orchid scent."
"Tsk tsk, a boy wearing fragrance, how bold of you." If you listen carefully, whose voice could it be but Yang Qingtong’s?
"What’s wrong with a boy? Boys can wear it too; mom even gave my brother and me sachets."
Yangyang chirped on, and as he turned, he saw Yang Chuxia and Luo Linhao returning.
"Mom, mom!!" He ran over to Yang Chuxia, pulling her along, "Uncle Da’an and Uncle Qingtong are here, and so is pretty Auntie and the rest."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia looked over and indeed saw Yang Qingrui and them, "You’re finally here!"
"Sis!" "Sis!" The two brothers quickly approached.
"Xiaxia, you’re back!"
"Third Sister...."
Wow, as Yang Chuxia looked over, besides Yang Qingrui and Yang Qingtong, Yang Qingbao and Yang Dongxue, Yang Jindi, Ms. Liu, and Yang Dayong were all here.
From the uncle’s side, the eldest uncle didn’t come, but the second uncle did, and surprisingly the second uncle’s wife came too. Although Yang Chuxia wasn’t pleased inside, she didn’t show it on her face.
"Qingrui, Qingtong, Dongxue, Auntie, Uncle Dayong, Second Uncle... you’ve all come," Yang Chuxia hurriedly greeted everyone. "Let’s all go inside and sit, why are we standing in the courtyard?"
Yang Chuxia asked again, "When did you all get here?"
"Sis, not long after you left the mansion, our big brother and the rest arrived," Yang Xiayun chimed in from the side, "Brother-in-law had just returned from court, and before he could say much, someone from the palace came to summon him again."
Yang Chuxia nodded, then asked, "Was your journey smooth? Are mom and dad well at home? Are the nephews and nieces doing well?"
Yang Qingrui smiled and said, "Mom and dad are fine, everything’s good at home. The journey was mostly smooth, except the roads in Shandong were not easy to traverse, but everything else was alright."
Scanning the people, not seeing Ms. Luo and Yang Xiaochuan, Yang Chuxia asked, "Uncle, why didn’t Uncle Da’an, Auntie Four, Uncle Four come? Uncle Dayong, why didn’t you bring Qingkang along?"
Upon hearing the question directed at Yang Da’an, Ms. Liu replied, "Someone has to stay and watch the house, not everyone can come. Your uncle stayed behind to keep watch, and the journey is far from convenient. Your mom sent me to do Yunyun’s hair instead. Your Uncle Four’s family is big; if one comes, they’d all want to come, and managing so many people in the capital isn’t easy. So they discussed and decided to just bring Dongxue. Dongxue’s a big girl now, seeing the world might help with her prospects back home."
As she glanced at Yang Jindi, she chuckled, "This little girl, your mom said Yangyang mentioned her in letters, so she tagged along to have some fun."
"Hehe, pretty Auntie!" Hearing himself mentioned, Yangyang went to grab Yang Jindi’s hand, "Has anyone bullied you at home? If anyone’s troubling you, let me know, I’ll go beat them up for you, I’m really strong now."
