The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 289 Meeting

In the afternoon, Luo Xiao and Luo Yuqi came in a carriage.

Wen Yao had been waiting outside the door early. She had been very worried about Luo Xiao's condition before, but because her young lady was weak, she would pass her illness on to the young lady when she went to the pharmacy to visit her. Moreover, every time Mr. Shu came to check the young lady's pulse, he would also tell her about the recent situation of Luo Xiao and her daughter, which made her feel a little relieved.

Now, seeing Luo Xiao's rosy face getting out of the car, and Luo Yuqi looking even fatter than before, she finally felt relieved and stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Greetings, Madam Xiao and Miss."

"Why are you so awkward?" Luo Xiao hurriedly pulled her back, "Hurry up and get up."

Luo Yuqi also stepped forward cordially and exchanged a level bow with Wen Yao, "Sister Wen Yao." Wen Yao smiled and straightened up, "The young lady is waiting for Madam Xiao and the eldest young lady in the front hall. Please follow me quickly."

Along the way, Luo Xiao was amazed at the layout of Zhuxiang Yayuan. She had previously studied music with her husband and was familiar with various layouts. Now, after seeing it, she felt that the person behind the design was a master.

Wen Yao described how every blade of grass, every tree, every bamboo, every flower was the work of the Minister of Works, Lord Lu Zhi. Luo Xiao was so astonished that she couldn't stop exclaiming, "If my late husband knew I had this opportunity to live in the most elegant house in the capital, I wonder how envious he would be."

As they were talking, they arrived at the front hall.

Xu Rongrong was waiting at the steps. Seeing the mother and daughter arrive, she was overjoyed: "It seems that Madam Luo has recovered well under Mr. Shu's care these days."

Luo Yuqi held her mother's hand and ran up a few steps: "Greetings, County Lady."

Xu Rongrong quickly helped her up. Luo Yuqi smiled and said, "Mr. Shu is truly a master of medicine. Mother's health has improved greatly. Now that Mr. Shu's pharmacy has relocated and expanded, she's become the clinic's signature dish! When people learned that Mother had recovered from tuberculosis, word spread quickly, and patients flocked to see her without Mr. Shu even having to help. He's now almost overwhelmed."

Seeing that the girl had gotten rid of her previous dejected look and kept talking, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but smile and nod.

On the contrary, Luo Xiao looked at Xu Rongrong's expression with a hint of hesitation.

When she saw Xu Rongrong in the Guandi Temple before, although she herself was suffering from a serious illness, she still keenly felt that Xu Rongrong's complexion was not normal. But today there was no sign of illness at all.

Although Xu Rongrong and Luo Yuqi were laughing and chatting non-stop, she still noticed Luo Xiao's hesitation. While arranging the mother and daughter to go into the house, she asked, "Madam Luo has been staring at me just now, but what's wrong with me today?" Seeing Xu Rongrong's expression, Luo Xiao put aside her doubts. After all, as the county lord, Xu Rongrong was surrounded by many talented people, and Mr. Shu, who saved her, took orders from the county lord. It was nothing strange that her complexion had improved.

So she smiled and shook her head: "This courtyard is blessed with talented people and beautiful scenery. It's natural for the county lady to wait for her marriage here... But I have just recovered from a serious illness. If the county lady and Mr. Shu hadn't helped me that day, I'm afraid I would have no place to be buried now. Seeing the county lady again today, I felt as if I were in another world, so I was a little dazed for a moment."

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong stopped asking questions and took the hands of Luo Xiao and her daughter and sat down.

Luo Xiao's visit today was originally initiated by Mu Rong. After half a day, both the host and the guest had a great time. Luo Yuqi especially liked the two rabbits raised by Xu Rongrong and was reluctant to put them down until dinner time.

Dinner was arranged by Madam Xiao, who had been busy in the kitchen with the "Wuzhus" and had never appeared in the front hall.

Until... Luo Yuqi took a bite of the sweet and sour osmanthus fish and said in surprise: "Mom! This dish seems to be the recipe at home."

"Really?" Luo Xiao also picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, tasted it carefully, and frowned slightly.

She put down her chopsticks and asked, "May I ask, County Lady, who prepared the dishes in your residence?"

Xu Rongrong replied, "It was arranged by the housekeeper, but...what's wrong with it?"

"This nanny...is your surname Xiao?" When Luo Xiao spoke again, tears seemed to glisten in her eyes.

Having known Luo Xiao for half a year, this was the first time she'd seen her lose her composure like this. Xu Rongrong quickly said, "That's right. She was a former housekeeper at the Marquis's manor. Her husband's surname was Zheng."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and told Luo Shu, "Go and ask Madam Xiao to come over."

Soon, Nanny Xiao arrived.

Before the person arrived, the voice had already come: "But the dinner arrangement is not appropriate, and Madam is not used to it?" "Second sister?" Luo Xiao stood up, her voice trembling.

As soon as Madam Xiao took one step forward, she froze, "Xiao Wu'er?"

In this case, what else is there for the people in the hall not to understand?

Wen Yao whispered in her young lady's ear, "This morning, Madam Xiao said that she had a cousin who married into Yuzhou City. I guess... that must be Madam Luo."

Xu Rongrong nodded.

This... is truly fate!

For a moment, Nanny Xiao's face flushed red. With her master in front of her, she didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Xu Rongrong did not say much when she saw this. She took Wen Yao, Luo Shu and Luo Yuqi to the tea room in the backyard, and gave the front dining room to Nanny Xiao and the Luo Xiao sisters.

In the tea room, Jixiang and Ruyi quickly heated up the tea and pastries and brought them over. Xu Rongrong looked at the bewildered Luo Yuqi and tapped her forehead with her fingertips in amusement: "You, you will have another family in the capital from now on."

Luo Yuqi was naive and ignorant. Judging from the age of Nanny Xiao, she was nearly twenty years older than Luo Xiao, so the little girl had never seen this aunt from the next room. But judging from her mother's appearance, she thought that the relationship between them must be very good.

So she took a bite of the dessert and said vaguely, "I just hope she won't be like my aunt... and make my mother sad again."

Xu Rongrong rubbed her hair and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Xiao is a very good person."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to ask Luo Shu to go to the kitchen to get some more food, but when she turned around, Luo Shu was no longer behind her.

This girl... must have gone to watch the fun again.

Sure enough, after half an incense stick of time, Luo Shu came back with a great harvest:

Nanny Xiao and Luo Xiao are indeed relatives. Nanny Xiao is the daughter of the eldest son and the second child in the family. Luo Xiao is the youngest daughter of the third son and the fifth child in the family.

The Xiao family was not wealthy, and the members were not good at business, so after the family split up, they went their separate ways.

After marrying far away in Yuzhou, Luo Xiao gradually lost contact with her clan. This wasn't because she forgot her roots, but rather because her sisters were scattered. She only knew that her eldest and second sisters had made it to the capital after many twists and turns. The eldest sister married a government official, while the second sister, burdened by her husband's family, remained missing...
