The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

He recalled slowly, it should have been less than half a month since he last visited Xiangyin, but his uncle and aunt looked several years older.

The last time I saw them, they did not look very well and looked a little haggard, but now they looked worried and worn out. Second Aunt's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she had lost her former spirit. The same was true for Second Uncle. He had no white hair at all, but now there were a few white hairs on his temples, and his eyes were full of confusion.

After Huanhuan and Xu Qu sat down, they heard the eldest aunt say, "You came out after the work was done, but you didn't show up at the critical moment. You relied on an orphan and a widow to negotiate such a big business as Xiangyunsha. Do some people still have the nerve to take the share that doesn't belong to them?"

The second uncle looked extremely tired and didn't seem to have the energy to care about the eldest aunt. He didn't say anything and just glanced at her. The second aunt didn't even bother to look at her.

The reactions of the two made the eldest aunt quite dissatisfied. She was about to get angry, but Mrs. Xie said, "It's nothing. We are all family, and everyone should contribute. I wonder how Xiangyin's condition is? I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to visit her."

Second Aunt replied, "Auntie, you are too polite. She is just a little girl who is sick. Why do you want me to visit her in person? That is too impolite. It is not a serious illness. It is just that Xiangyin is stubborn and does not listen to advice. Her condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad. She needs someone to accompany her."

"Hmph," the eldest aunt snorted disdainfully and said, "It's just an excuse to shirk responsibility. Right now, things are urgent and we can't find an escort agency to transport the goods. We have to take care of this, right? We need someone who can take charge to go to Xijiang to follow the convoy. We can't push this task to Quer, he has a hearing problem and it's inconvenient."

"I'm busy!" The second uncle lost his composure and retorted angrily.

"Then you don't have to share the dividends with us. Go back and take your share of the commoners." The eldest aunt slammed the table.

Mrs. Xie had a helpless expression on her face, and she advised both sides: "We can talk it out. We still have a lot of time to prepare, so we can slowly think of a solution."

Second Aunt interrupted and said, "Auntie is right. We are all family. We will help to find a solution." Then Second Aunt turned to Huanhuan and Xu Qu and smiled at Huanhuan, "Xuanhuan, you went to see Xiangyin several times but didn't see her. She misses you a lot. If you are not busy recently, go see her."

Huan Huan listened to what Second Aunt said and immediately replied, "Of course there is no problem. I will go there early tomorrow morning."

Second Aunt's smile was somewhat forced. She hesitated for a moment and said, "If you have time, come back with us and take a look."

He hesitated and said slowly: "I don't have any gifts prepared to visit Sister Xiangyin now."

Second Aunt said in a friendly tone: "Since she is my sister, what gift do you want?" Huanhuan's attentiveness made it impossible for her to refuse. Huanhuan glanced at Xu Qu, who nodded at her, so Huanhuan replied: "Okay, no problem, I'll go right away."

Second Aunt looked overjoyed, and she looked back at Second Uncle with relief, and then she wanted to stand up and come over to pull him over. Second Uncle held her back and motioned for her to sit down, so she sat back down, but she looked very uncomfortable.

The eldest aunt was filled with disgust when she saw Huanhuan, whom she disliked, and the half-brother and his family, whom she hated the most, displaying such affection and friendship, and she couldn't help but curl her lips in disgust.

But Second Aunt only sat for a while, and after listening to a few words from others, she could not help but say, "You guys continue chatting first. Huanhuan and I will go back to our place first." After saying that, she stood up and walked to Huanhuan, forcing Huanhuan to stand up and take the hand that Second Aunt extended to her.

Second Aunt's behavior was really strange. Not to mention others, even my eldest aunt frowned and looked at her suspiciously.

Second Aunt took Huanhuan and said goodbye to the people in the house. Then she took Huanhuan to the gate of Xu's house to get on the carriage. Huanhuan said, "It's so close, we can just walk there." But Second Aunt replied, "Get in the carriage, hurry up." Huanhuan had no choice but to obediently get on the carriage.

In the car, Second Aunt politely asked Huanhuan about the recent situation of the Rouge Shop. Huanhuan answered seriously at first, but she soon found that Second Aunt was absent-minded and was not listening. Instead, she was thinking about her own things.

So he gave a brief description in a few words, quickly ended the topic, and said no more.

Second Uncle's house was quite close to the Xu residence, so they arrived there quickly. After getting off the carriage, Second Aunt said nothing and took Huanhuan directly to Xiangyin's residence.

Arriving at the door, Second Aunt raised her hand high to push the door open, but it stopped at the door handle. She turned around and looked at Huan Huan with tears in her eyes.

This frightened Huanhuan, and she asked hurriedly, "What happened to Second Aunt? Is Sister Xiangyin's illness not getting better?"

Second Aunt choked up and said, "Huanhuan, I won't hide it from you now. Your sister Xiangyin was not sick before, but she was confined by us because she disobeyed us. So we stopped you from visiting her several times. But now..." Second Aunt didn't finish her words, tears rolled down her eyes, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

He gently patted Second Aunt's back and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Xiangyin now?"

Second Aunt said in a tearful voice, "Stupid."

Huanhuan was surprised and asked, "Stupid? What do you mean?"

Second Aunt said, "She was angry with us and refused to eat or drink and wanted to go on a hunger strike. We thought we had spoiled her too much before, so we ignored her. But now... she doesn't talk to anyone at all and has become so skinny."

Huanhuan frowned and heard Second Aunt continue to say: "The last time you came, she saw the things you brought her, and she clamored with us to see my sister-in-law. That was the last sentence she said to us! So...so after much consideration, we had no choice but to invite you here at this time. Huanhuan, go see her and persuade her! Wuuuu..." After saying that, Second Aunt couldn't help crying out loud.

After listening to her second aunt's description, Huanhuan's eyes couldn't help but become moist. She comforted her second aunt, "Aunt, don't be sad. I'll go see her first." After that, she slowly pushed open Xiangyin's door.

There was only one candle lit in Xiangyin's room. As she slowly pushed the door open, a gust of wind came in and made the candle flame jump twice, making the atmosphere in the room seem a little weird.

Xiangyin's maid Huamei was quietly guarding beside Xiangyin's bed. She had already heard the conversation outside the door, so she slowly walked closer and saw that Xiangyin was also wiping tears.

The second aunt who followed in asked Huamei, "How is the young lady today?"

Huamei wiped her tears and shook her head, "It's still the same."

Huanhuan sat down beside Xiangyin's bed. Although she had already heard Second Aunt's introduction, she couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw Xiangyin's appearance: "What's wrong with my sister?"
