As the sound of the wheels rolling gradually faded, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion.

The shaft of the cart swayed slightly, the horse neighed, and slowly stopped.

A group of people got off the car one after another, moving quickly.

Yun Yubing couldn't wait to stretch out her little hand, tightly grasped Murong Zixi's sleeve, and quickly flew into the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty like a light swallow.

Heading straight to the courtyard where the old lady lived, Yun Yubing had a bright smile on her face along the way.

"Grandma, grandma, look who's here..." Yun Yubing's voice was like a clear and pleasant bell, echoing in the air.

Before she could finish her words, Ruan came out from the inner room in a hurry, with a hint of blame between her brows.

"Yun Yubing, kid, your grandmother is sick, why are you yelling so loudly?" Ruan's tone was slightly serious, revealing her dissatisfaction with Yun Yubing's behavior.

However, when her eyes fell on Murong Zixi beside her, the original blame instantly turned into surprise.

"Oh! Xier is here, come in, come in." A warm smile broke out on Ruan's face, with joy shining in her eyes.

She walked quickly forward and took Murong Zixi's hand.

Murong Zixi smiled slightly and bowed, "Hello, second aunt."

Ruan was delighted and quickly welcomed Murong Zixi into the house. While holding her hand, she said, "Okay, okay."

Yun Yubing at the back stuck out her tongue. Well, now that her cousin was here, her mother's face was filled with smiles.

The room was filled with a strong aroma of medicine and a light scent of sandalwood. Lying on the sickbed, the old lady looked haggard with her eyes slightly closed.

When the old lady heard the footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Murong Zixi walking in. Her eyes instantly lit up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly: "Ahem...Xier".

Murong Zixi walked quickly to the bed, looked at the old lady with concern in her eyes, and said softly: "Grandma~"

The old lady coughed lightly and responded in a slightly hoarse voice: "Ahem... Hey! Xier is here." After that, the old lady gently raised her hand and waved to Murong Zixi.

Murong Zixi hurriedly walked forward, sat beside the bed, and held the old lady's hand tightly, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"

I held the old lady's hand and felt her pulse. I found out that there was nothing serious. She was just old and had a poor immune system. She caught a cold and would be fine after a few days of rest.

Murong Zixi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this old man was very kind and doted on her so much. She didn't want anything to happen to her.

The old lady smiled slightly and gently patted the back of Murong Zixi's hand, "I'm old, and my body is not very useful. But if you take some medicine and rest for a few days, you will be fine."

Murong Zixi shook her head, "Grandma, please don't say that, you are not old at all, you are still young!"

Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but laugh. The wrinkles on her face smoothed out, her eyes sparkled with happiness, and she struggled to sit up.

Murong Zixi helped the old lady up, put a pillow under her back and let her lean on it.

Seeing this, Qin covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing, "Mother, you see, your illness has been mostly cured since Xier came. It seems that Xier is more effective than those bitter medicine dregs!"

The old lady smiled and nodded, looking at Murong Zixi kindly, and said with emotion: "That's right, since Xier came, I feel much more relaxed and my mood is much happier."

At this time, the old lady remembered something and turned to introduce Murong Zixi: "Xi'er, this is your eldest cousin, Yun Mengsi."

Murong Zixi followed the old lady's gaze and saw a gentle woman sitting next to Qin with a warm smile on her face, looking at her quietly.

Nodding politely, he said, "Hello, cousin."

Yun Mengsi smiled brightly and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice: "Hello, Xier. We were just talking about you and you are here. I didn't come back the last time you came. I finally see you today."

"Oh? What are you talking about me?"

The old lady held Murong Zixi's hand tightly, her eyes full of love, and said softly: "Xi'er, I heard that you moved out of the general's mansion. From now on, you can live in the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion with peace of mind. This is your home. With your grandmother here, you don't have to suffer those grievances anymore."

Murong Zixi felt a warm current in her heart, "Grandma, you are so kind to me, but don't bother me. I have already bought a house outside and plan to live there."

The old lady frowned slightly when she heard this. "How can that be possible? You are a girl, and you are alone outside. How can your grandmother be at ease? There is no such dirty thing in our Loyalty Marquis Mansion.

Your eldest aunt and second aunt are both kind people, they won't make you angry, if you live here, no one will gossip, we can all take care of you, just stay here with peace of mind."

Murong Zixi felt the old man's heartfelt concern and was deeply moved.

Qin also spoke at the right time, her voice soft but firm: "Yes, Xier, your mother's boudoir has been preserved, and there are maids cleaning it every day. It still looks the same as your mother lived in back then. You will live here from now on."

"Yes, yes, it's so dangerous for a woman like you to live outside," Ruan also said.

"Grandma, aunt and second aunt, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have already bought a house outside, and I like it there too. Besides, it is not far from the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty, so I can come back to see you from time to time."

The old lady looked at Murong Zixi's determined eyes, she sighed, and agreed helplessly: "Okay, since you insist so much, grandma can't say anything more. However, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to come to grandma for help! Don't hide it from us."

Murong Zixi nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, grandma, I will."

The old lady rubbed her aching head.

When Murong Zixi saw the old lady like this, she reached out and gently massaged her head.

She asked softly, "Grandma, do you have a headache? Will this make you feel better?"

The old lady slowly closed her eyes, enjoying Murong Zixi's massage, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Well, it's so comfortable... Xier, I didn't expect you can do massage! Your technique is really good, and it makes grandma very comfortable."

Hearing the old lady's praise, she smiled and replied: "In fact, I only know a little bit, as long as I can make my grandmother feel comfortable."

The room was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

It was not until the old lady gradually felt tired and fell into a deep sleep that Murong Zixi and the others tiptoed and carefully left the room.
