New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Xia Shi's angry curse shocked everyone.

No one expected that the scholar Xia Shi, who was always well-mannered and never quarreled with others, would become furious one day and curse so harshly?

Gu Qingyou and Xia Yuhe were also shocked. It was the first time in all these years that they heard Xia Shi swearing.

Xia Yuhe was so moved by her father's protective words that her eyes filled with tears.

Xia Shi walked forward angrily, protecting Xia Yuhe behind him, looking coldly at the old man who had just humiliated Yuhe, and said in a cold voice, "I, Xia Shi, am a scholar and usually don't argue with others, but Yuhe is my daughter, even if she did something wrong, she is still the daughter of my Xia family.

You may talk about her doing something wrong behind her back, but you cannot scold her or humiliate her. She was just deceived and did something wrong at the time. What she did did not harm the interests of any of you. Whether she gets married or has children is something that my Xia family needs to worry about. It has nothing to do with you."

Everyone was silent after listening. Some people felt a little indignant, but when they thought about it carefully, they really had no reason to blame others. After all, it was someone else's family affair. They could just say a few words and why bother with so much.

These people didn't want to say more, but the old man who was being scolded was not letting it go. His face turned red, he was breathing heavily, and he looked like he was going to die of anger. He glared and pointed at Xia Shi, "You, you, you..."

You talked for a long time but didn't say a word.

At this time, the old man's wife came. She slapped her old man impatiently, then said with a smile, "Mr. Xia, Miss Xia, I'm really sorry. I will take my old man back now."

After saying that, he pulled him to leave, but the old man refused to give in and kept cursing and even insulting his wife.

The old woman had a hot temper and had tolerated him for decades, but she couldn't bear it anymore and pulled him over and started scolding him. The old man became even more dejected and dared not speak nonsense anymore.

Everyone watched the culprit being taken away, and they seemed a little unsatisfied.

Seeing that her husband had publicly acknowledged that he had let their daughter come back, Gu Qingyou no longer hesitated and walked to her daughter, took the little granddaughter from her arms, and teased her gently.

Without that annoying person, the banquet started as usual. Everyone began to eat and drink, but in private, they still talked about Xia Yuhe, but the words were not as harsh as at the beginning.

This is the confidence that comes from having someone to back you up. Even if others want to gossip, they dare not speak out loudly.

In front of everyone, Xia Shi said that he would take Xia Yuhe back to the Xia family, and that no matter whether Xia Yuhe got married or not, the Xia family would take good care of this girl, including the young lady.

Everyone sighed, but they didn't want to offend the rare scholar in this town, so they smiled and gave their blessings.

The guests were dining in the yard. Xia Shi and Gu Qingyou took Xia Yuhe into the house to reminisce about the past and asked the servants to entertain the guests.

Xia Yuhe looked at her parents with some guilt. She began to feel guilty, wondering if it was her arrival that brought shame to her parents.

Xia Shi cursed today and felt that he had released all the depression he had been experiencing for years. Only then did he realize how refreshing it was to vent his anger in time.

As a scholar and a learned man over the years, he always relied on his status and felt that he had to behave properly and have a correct attitude. He must not offend others, let alone shout at others and call himself the boss. However, today, seeing his daughter, whom he had raised with great care since childhood, being insulted by others, he was so angry that he just started to curse.

Unexpectedly, this feeling was so good, as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and he was very happy in his heart. He thought that if anyone bullied their Xia family again in the future, they would scold and beat them. After all, they could not let others bully their family.

Seeing his daughter's guilty look, Xia Shi changed his usual arrogant look and smiled to comfort her, "Yuhe, don't worry, come back and live with me. Your parents will protect you in the future. No one will dare to say anything bad in front of you. If anyone says those dirty words, your father will scold them back for you."

Xia Yuhe looked at her parents' gentle eyes and was very moved. Her eyes turned red and the corners of her lips slightly raised. "Yes! I understand. I will listen to you from now on."

Being loved unconditionally by her parents, Xia Yuhe felt very satisfied. All the sadness and ridicule she had suffered during this period of time suddenly improved at this moment.

Xia Ziwei in Gu Qingyou's arms seemed to feel that the atmosphere was good. She couldn't help but grin and stretched out her little hands to ask Xia Shi for a hug.

Xia Shi was so amused that he smiled happily. He smiled at her gently, then stretched out his hand and gently held the bubbling little girl in his arms.

"Come here, dear, call grandpa."

Xia Shi softened his voice and wanted the child to call him grandpa, but he didn't know that a half-year-old child couldn't call people yet.

This silly look amused the mother and daughter nearby, who covered their mouths and laughed.

Xia Ziwei also seemed to be amused by her grandfather. She grinned and giggled very happily. There seemed to be stars in her eyes on her small face, shining brightly. She was very cute.

After Xia Shi said that, he realized that he was a little stupid. The child was so young, how could he speak? He immediately felt a little embarrassed and returned the child to his wife. Then he coughed twice, pretended to cover up and said, "I'll go to the front yard to take a look." Then he left.

Gu Qingyou and Xia Yuhe smiled at each other. They were both very happy in their hearts. From now on, their family could be together again.

-------

Five days had passed since the one-year-old celebration. Fulun knew that he could not leave for too long, so he decided to take the children back to Beijing the next day.

That evening, Xiao Zhihang held a farewell banquet in the garden for Prince Hongzhan and his wife, as well as Prince Fulun and his wife. After all, they all had their own things to do and could not stay in the Xiao Mansion forever.

The flowers in the yard are blooming brightly, and the evening sky is full of colorful clouds, which is very beautiful.

But Xiao Ertai had a sad face and couldn't smile, because he already knew the bad news that he would have to return to the capital tomorrow.

Xue Yin carried Xiaoyanzi to the garden. As soon as she sat down, she saw Ertai running to her with a sad face. He held Xiaoyanzi's paws and cried, "Wuwu, Xiaoyanzi, I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you. If I go back to the capital, I won't be able to see you for a long, long time. Wuwu, Xiaoyanzi sister, will you forget me by then?"

Listening to Ertai's crying, Xiaoyanzi inexplicably felt reluctant to let him go. In her previous life, she had lived with Ertai and the others day and night and studied with them. Now they were still very young and their future paths would be different. She didn't know if she would be able to see them again after this separation.

[Ertai, go back and study hard, then we can write to each other. Or, wait for me for a few years until I start learning to write, and then I can write to you.]

Xiaoyanzi comforted Ertai in her heart. Although she knew Ertai couldn't hear her, she still wanted to say it.

Ertai really couldn't hear, but Xueyin heard it. She pretended to be careless and said, "Ertai, my sister is still young. If you don't want my sister to forget you, you can go back and study hard, and then write to my sister. When Xiaoyanzi can write, I will let her write back to you, okay?"

Xue Yin's words made Ertai feel as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened. He nodded heavily, "Okay, I will study hard when I go back, and then write a letter to Sister Xiaoyanzi. When the time comes, I will ask her to write back to me. Sister Xiaoyanzi, wait for me."

The little swallow seemed to understand. It nodded its little head at him, then stretched out its little paws and touched his paws, as if to comfort him.

Ertai wiped the tears from his face and smiled sweetly at her.

On this side, Ertai was coaxed by Xiaoyanzi, while on the other side, Xiaofeng was entangled by Qing'er.

"Brother Xiao Feng, I can't bear to leave you. Can you come to my house to play with me?"
