At night, Wu'an Hou Mansion Jinxiu Pavilion.

After a moment, Mrs. Xiao said again: "Okay, the meal is almost done. Xier, let me tell my grandmother why Xiao Zhong suddenly arranged for Xiao Gu to enter Fu'an Hall?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled helplessly and said, "Grandma is wise, Xier, I can't hide anything from you."

He stood up, took a colorful rope from the pear blossom couch, handed it to his grandmother, and said, "Grandma, look at this."

Mrs. Xiao took the colorful rope in confusion, and for a moment, she said, "This color has deteriorated so much, and this colorful rope must be a bit old."

"What, Xi'er, what does this have to do with Fu'antang?"

"Grandma, this is what Wei Mo saw in a wooden box in Mama Zhao's closet. The wooden box contains forty colorful ropes of different years." Xiao Jinxi said.

"Forty!" Old Lady Xiao murmured.

After a moment, he suddenly sighed deeply: "Alas... Forty colorful ropes are also Xianglan's longing for that child! Forty years have passed without realizing it!"

After a moment, Mrs. Xiao wondered again: "But what does this have to do with arranging Xiao Gu to enter Fu'an Hall?"

"Grandma, Xiaohe, the maid who was taken away from your yard before, confessed some strange things later. Xier was puzzled and wanted to ask her grandmother." Xiao Jinxi said.

"Okay, Xi'er, tell me." Old Mrs. Xiao said in confusion.

Xiao Jinxi took out a secret letter from her body and said, "Grandma, look at this."

Mrs. Xiao took the secret letter in confusion and looked at it, but her expression became more and more confusing. After a long time, Fang said, "It seems that Xianglan has found her son."

"But since I found it, it's a happy thing, but why haven't I heard her mention it after so many years?"

Xiao Jinxi asked in confusion: "Grandma, what happened to the child from forty years ago?"

I saw Mrs. Xiao sigh and for a moment, she slowly said: "Oh...that incident has been forty years."

"At that time, it was your grandfather's time to guard the northern border."

"Your father is still young, your father is only seven years old, and Xianglan's son is only five years old. Xianglan's husband has been weak since childhood and left when the child was three years old."

"The Dayue at that time was not as quiet as it is now. The Dayue emperor at that time was ambitious and frequently harassed the northern border in those years."

"That year, your grandfather had not returned to the Marquis' Mansion for two consecutive years, and he had not even reported his work. He was sent by the emperor to the north to connect with your grandfather."

"That year, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, I have the grace of the Lord to take your father to the north to celebrate a reunion year with your grandfather."

"Xianglan is naturally with me. I will take your father with me, and Xianglan will take her son."

"And that day happened to be the New Year's Day, and it was rare that Dayue became quiet."

"Xianglan and I took the children to play on the hillside nearest the camp. The two children were happily chasing animals on the hillside, and Xianglan and I walked on the hillside and chatted."

"And a quarter of an hour ago, we were still watching the kids chasing animals and playing."

"After a quarter of an hour, your father ran over and said that he could not find his younger brother, saying that he saw his younger brother chasing the rabbit in front, but he went to find his younger brother again, but he couldn't see it everywhere."

"We were also scared and hurried to look for it together, but on the hillside, we couldn't find it everywhere."

"We will hurry back to the camp. Your grandfather transferred the army and searched everywhere around there together."

"But it's still impossible to find it everywhere. We were all anxious. At that time, Xianglan was crying every day."

"And later, just after the eighth day of the lunar month, refugees on the border came out to riot again. Later, just after the 20th day of the first lunar month, the Dayue court was in charge of war, and the lords began to have a stir again."

"It didn't take long before that war broke out. That battle lasted for a year!"

"After the war broke out, your grandfather had no choice but to dispatch so many people to help Xianglan find the child."

"We can only take the mansion's staff and the few people given by your grandfather, and are secretly searching."

"It's like this, I searched for half a year, but I finally had no news. At that time, Xianglan was already in a state of despair. My grandmother felt uncomfortable when she looked at her like this!"

"But by then, the war between the two countries had reached its most severe time. The emperor went up to give us the imperial capital immediately."

"In the end we had to follow the imperial edict and return to the imperial capital."

"And in the next ten years, Xianglan will still take the staff I arranged for her to secretly travel between the imperial capital and the northern border."

"Xinxin Niannian hopes to find her son back. But after all, she is unwilling to do so!"

Xiao Jinxi listened quietly, and for a long time, a line of tears flowed unconsciously...Madam Zhao must have found her son in the end. But Chen'er, where are you? How did your mother find you?

When the old lady Xiao saw it, she frowned and hurriedly reached out to wipe her granddaughter's tears, feeling distressed: "Why, you kid, now, you cry so easily!"

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "Xi'er is fine, grandmother, don't worry. Xi'er is just grateful to Madam Zhao for her hopeless searching for her and is uncomfortable for her. Grandmother, please continue talking, Xi'er listen."

"Okay." Mrs. Xiao continued to say slowly just now: "In the tenth year, that year, when Xianglan came back, she was holding a child who was still in her infancy."

"I heard that she picked it up in the war, because it happened to be the last battle between Apocalypse and the Great Yue."

"That child is Xianglan's current son. After Xianglan brought him back, she raised him personally."

"Actually, in the next year, Xianglan went to the north to find her son, but in the end she couldn't find him."

"When she returns to the Marquis' Mansion, her son will stumble and walk around the mansion, and will start calling her mother."

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao reached out to wipe off the tears from the corner of her eyes.

He sighed deeply again, but there was a smile on his face: "It was also the mother that I saw on Xianglan's face, a smile I hadn't seen for many years."

"Because I was afraid of making Xianglan sad again, I ordered everyone in the mansion not to mention this matter again."

"In this way, Xianglan took her current son and lived quietly in the mansion. She didn't mention it anymore and went to find her son."

"But, Xianglan still goes to that hillside every year, stays quietly on that hillside for three days before coming back."

"Xianglan said that after searching for so many years, she doesn't know where the child is? Or, whether she is still in this world, she can only go to that hillside to accompany him every year."

"And time has also made many people in the mansion forget about this. Every year they think Xianglan has just returned to her hometown."

"I won't know until your generation is even more so. Now the only ones who can remember this are grandmother and your father."

"Later, when her son is almost fifteen years old, Xianglan said that she hopes this child will be safe and smooth in this life."

"And the Wu'an Marquis's military generals will inevitably get into various disputes."

"Xianglan hopes to let her children go back to her hometown and live a normal life there, so I helped Xianglan and found a famous gentleman in her hometown and asked her son to become a disciple."

"Since then, her son has made a living there until he becomes a child."

"This time when Xianglan came back from her hometown, I felt relieved to my heart when I saw her!"

Xiao Jinxi, who was standing beside him, said with emotion: "Madam Zhao has also used good intentions."

After a moment, Mrs. Xiao picked up the secret letter again and said in confusion: "But, since Xianglan has found that son, why hasn't mentioned it?"
