Traveling through time and space

Chapter 22 Being a Guest

"No, please go ahead. Yuanyuan wants to go see Peng Ge'er. Today is his birthday. Excuse me."

"Then Yuanyuan, let's go to my sister-in-law's place together." Cai Wenjing and Su Yuanyuan walked in a row.

Su Yuanyuan was very nervous. It seemed that something was going to happen. It was better to be careful. With preparation, everything would be OK.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?" Cai Wenjing asked.

"It's nothing. I'm just so happy to think about meeting Peng Ge'er soon. I've been staying in the mansion for a few days and haven't seen that child. I didn't expect that we, aunt and nephew, have only met today."

"Mom, Yuanyuan's cousin is here." After walking a few steps, she met her aunt and that woman again. Cai Wenjing's mother greeted them, so Su Yuanyuan had to stop.

"Yuanyuan is here." My aunt greeted me. "I was wrong about what happened last time. I didn't know you were Yunniang's child. You didn't even tell me."

"Yuanyuan has met my aunt. My aunt meant that if Yuanyuan had said that she was my mother's child, then Yuanyuan would not have suffered that beating in vain. Aunt, Yuanyuan didn't take this matter to heart, but there probably won't be a next time." A smile gradually appeared on Su Yuanyuan's face.

"What are you talking about, kid? When your mother was alive, we got along very well. From now on, you should treat your aunt as your biological mother."

"Thank you, aunt, for your thoughtful consideration. I have a son and a daughter, as well as this filial niece who grew up in my body. How could I have the time to teach Yuanyuan more? Grandmother takes care of everything for Yuanyuan, so I won't bother you."

"Sister-in-law, go see Brother Peng. Yuanyuan, you're here."

Someone came over, a middle-aged woman. She looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who she was.

"Miss, this is the Fourth Madam." Mother Yan reminded from behind.

"Yuanyuan meets fourth aunt." Su Yuanyuan bowed.

"It really is you. You looked familiar the last time I saw you. I never thought you were Yunniang's child. Unfortunately, your parents are both dead. Fortunately, your grandmother finally found you. Yiyun, meet your cousin. This is your aunt's child."

"Yiyun greets my cousin." The little girl stepped forward and saluted.

"Sister Yiyun, you're too polite. My fourth aunt wants to go see today's birthday girl. Let's go together."

"Sister-in-law, fourth brother's wife, you are all here." As soon as I stepped into sister-in-law's yard, I heard chattering inside. It seemed that there were already quite a few people in the house.

"You are all here." It was my aunt who entered the house first. As soon as she entered, many people came close to her and greeted her.

"Sister-in-law," after everyone asked how they were and sat down, Su Yuanyuan went up to greet sister-in-law.

"Yuanyuan, you're here, please sit down." The sister-in-law saw Su Yuanyuan while holding the child, and pulled a stool for Yuanyuan to sit down.

"Sister-in-law, Peng Ge'er is so cute."

"Yuanyuan, have you prepared any birthday gifts for Pengge'er?"

"Cousin, I am Peng'er's aunt, so of course I have to prepare a gift. Mother Yan, please give me the gift that Grandma prepared."

"Yes, Miss, Madam, the old lady said that Peng'er is the eldest son of the Cai family's eldest branch, and these are considered to add to Peng's celebration." Mother Yan handed the top box in her hand to her eldest sister-in-law, "This is what the old lady prepared for Miss."

"Yuanyuan, has grandma even prepared a gift for you?" Cai Wenjing stood up and went forward to check.

"Yes, grandma is the best grandma in the world. Peng'er, I am your aunt." Su Yuanyuan went to tease little brother Peng who was held by her elder sister-in-law.

"Mother, Grandma is really generous," Cai Wenjing's words were quite sour. "Yes, cousin, Grandma said that Peng'er is the legitimate son and grandson of the Cai family, so of course he should be celebrated with great ceremony."

"Your grandmother loves her little great-grandchildren the most. Qing'er, this is your cousin, right?"

"Yes, mother, Yuanyuan, this is my mother from my natal family," the sister-in-law introduced.

"Yuanyuan has met the Liu family..."

"Silly child, just call me aunt."

"Yuanyuan greets Aunt Liu." Su Yuanyuan bowed slightly.

"You look exactly like your mother, but you are also a poor child. Both your parents are dead, and you have suffered a lot over the years." Su Yuanyuan's head was buzzing. Her biological father was alive and well. How would he feel to know that he was said to be dead again and again?

"It's her mother's fault for being so shameless. She didn't behave like a proper young lady and actually eloped with a country man." A woman who was not very old.

"Auntie, who are you? Didn't you brush your teeth properly when you went out this morning? What makes you say that my mother is immoral? Did you see it with your own eyes? That's great, please tell me about it." Su Yuanyuan quickly stood in front of her, with a smile in her eyes, and asked in a consulting tone.

"Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, she is my sister-in-law's younger sister Wanshi." My sister-in-law stepped forward to block the two of them.

"So it's my eldest sister-in-law's younger sister. Yuanyuan thought she knew about my mother and my father, and she spoke so confidently. It's a pity that I can't find out anything about my mother. However, Miss Wanshi, how can you be so sure about something you haven't seen? Or have you experienced it yourself?" Su Yuanyuan was young, so naturally she had that harmless expression.

"You...I..." The girl was a little anxious.

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Did Yuanyuan say something wrong? Miss Wanshi." Su Yuanyuan asked while standing on tiptoe.

"I heard about it too. What nonsense are you talking about? Mother, look..." Wan Shi pointed at Su Yuanyuan and blushed.

"Miss Wanshi, please keep your voice down and don't scare my little nephew. Aunt, all aunts, sisters-in-law, ladies, and young ladies, I'll take my leave first." Su Yuanyuan bowed and left the house.

"Miss, don't be angry." Mother Yan comforted her from behind.

"It's okay. You'll hear a lot of things like this in the future. If you get angry, you'll be pissed to death sooner or later. I just didn't expect that the people who knew my background were all from the Cai family. But now it's known to everyone. The people of the Cai family don't care about my mother's reputation. There are not many people in this world who are sincere to you. You can't count on anyone." Su Yuanyuan felt very uncomfortable when she heard others say this about her mother. After coming out, she saw that no one was standing still, so she calmed down.

"Yuanyuan, with your mother around, you will be laughed at by others even if you become the daughter of the Marquis of Xiaoyong's Mansion." It turned out that the person who was laughing at the joke was standing next to them. It was Zi Qiao from the third room.

"Zi Qiao," Wen Jing, who followed out, spoke.

"Cousin, look how angry she made Cousin Liu just now."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Sisters, do you have anything to say? Sister Wenjing, Sister Ziqiao, it seems that you are the ones who spread the news about my mother. But don't forget one thing, my mother is not only my mother, she is also your aunt. If you ruin her reputation, will it benefit everyone in the Cai Mansion? Will it benefit you? Yuanyuan said goodbye. Mother Yan, lead the way to the second young master's courtyard."

"Kid, why do you talk to others like that?" Another beautiful aunt came out. She should be another elder.

Su Yuanyuan glanced at her and Ruyan raised four fingers. That should be her fourth aunt. "Yuanyuan has met her third and fourth aunts."

"Yuanyuan, if you behave like this, others will say you are uneducated."

"Fourth aunt, should Yuanyuan let others talk about her biological mother like this? That would be truly uncultured, how could a child behave like that? Although my mother has passed away, in Yuanyuan's heart, she is also the best woman, no worse than others. Of course Yuanyuan has to protect her own mother. As for others, Yuanyuan doesn't care. People have two lips, and when the upper and lower lips touch, anything comes out. So what others say has nothing to do with Yuanyuan."

"You will suffer a loss if you do this." This person was a little anxious.

Su Yuanyuan saw the servant who had just come to pick her up and said, "Fourth aunt, Yuanyuan will take her leave first."

"This child has really lost the upbringing of his parents..." Su Yuanyuan heard the voice behind and wanted to go back to argue, but then she thought better of it. She also grabbed Ru Yan who wanted to turn around, but tears were welling up in her eyes. "Forget it, I will still hear such words in the future. If your so-called relatives are like this, then how will others treat you? Are you going to die? When we get home, don't tell grandma about what happened today. Let's go and see my second brother." Su Yuanyuan wiped her tears.

"Miss, the second young master asked me to come and pick you up."

"Thank you. Lead the way." After a few steps, they arrived in front of a small courtyard called Chunfengzhai. The servant bowed and withdrew. "You two should wait outside. Second brother likes quietness. I can go in by myself." Su Yuanyuan tiptoed into the house. Of course, she had gone there with the intention of teasing her second brother and changing her mood. When she entered the main room, she saw no one. She looked carefully and saw her second brother was reading a book on the left, engrossed in it. He really didn't notice her. She tiptoed up behind him and covered his eyes with her hands. "Second brother, guess who I am? Second brother, I'm in a bad mood. Do you have anything delicious?"

"Yuanyuan, you're here." The voice came from the door. Su Yuanyuan looked up and found that her second brother and two others had entered the house together.

"Second brother, why isn't this you? I'm sorry, sir, I recognized the wrong person." Su Yuanyuan quickly let go of her hand, stepped back, bowed and apologized.

"Hey, Brother Ge, this is my sister. She's been naughty again. I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry, second brother. Yuanyuan didn't know you had guests here. I'll take my leave first." Su Yuanyuan wanted to leave.

"Yuanyuan, it's okay. If your second brother hadn't called you over, would you have wanted to go back?" asked the second brother.

"No, Yuanyuan will stay, even if it's just for the sake of her two brothers."

"These people are not outsiders, they are my second brother's close friends. This one is Mr. Ge, this one is Mr. Wei, and this one is Mr. Xie." The second brother introduced the person who came in and the person who was sitting in the room before.

"Hello, gentlemen. Mr. Ge, I'm very sorry about what happened just now," Su Yuanyuan bowed.

"It's okay. Please take care of my business, young lady." Young Master Ge cupped his fist. Su Yuanyuan looked at her second brother with some confusion.

"Everyone, please sit down. Yuanyuan, you sit down too," everyone sat down as instructed. "Yuanyuan, this Mr. Wei has the same problem as my second brother. Can you let him use the methods you used on my second brother?" The second brother asked directly.

Su Yuanyuan looked carefully at her second brother's face, which had returned to normal. "Second brother, how have you been lately?" Su Yuanyuan gestured for him to put his hands on the table.

"Everything is normal," Su Yuanyuan took the pulse of her second brother. Although she was not a professional in her previous life, she was also a top-level enthusiast.

"How's your pulse?"

"Your pulse is neither floating nor sinking, but flowing and strong. Everything is normal. You should continue reading aloud as my second brother asked you to. Reading aloud can release the foul air accumulated in your body from the previous night and improve your lung capacity. It is also beneficial to your health."

"Got it. Second brother will continue. Mr. Ge wants to ask you something." Second brother pointed at Mr. Ge.
