Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Hearing this, Huaiyu knelt on the ground with a plop, looked at the grave that had been cleaned without any weeds, kowtowed three times, and then said loudly:

"Mom, I am Huaiyu, your son. I came to see you. I want to tell you that my life is very good now. How are you over there? I have a father and mother who love me, and I have younger brothers and sisters. They, as well as my grandma, grandpa and aunt, all of them are very good to me, don’t worry..."

At this point, he suddenly choked up. Luo Lan squatted on the ground and burned the paper money, while softly comforting:

"Huaiyu, you are already a man, don't cry, otherwise your mother will be worried."

Huaiyu bit his lip, nodded, and asked timidly:

"Mom, whose are those two graves? Why are they so close to my mother? Are they my father?"

This question made Luo Lan's heart tighten. How should she explain the story about these two tombs?

While she was hesitating, Huaiyu asked again:

"If this is my mother's grave, that one must be my father's. Whose is the short one? Did they have other children before me?"

Luo Lan sighed secretly and said slowly:

"Huaiyu, your father used to be a prince, how could he be buried here? There are some things you don't understand now. Mother will tell you when you grow up."

Huaiyu looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Mom, Huaiyu is nine years old and a man. There is nothing you don't understand. If my father is the prince, my mother should be the princess. My father should not be buried here, and my mother should not be buried in this grave. But she It happened to be buried here, there must be some story in it, can you...can you tell me?"

Looking at Huaiyu's eager eyes, Luo Lan was still hesitant. She was not sure whether Huaiyu's young mind could accept this fact.

"Mom, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. If you don't want to tell me, you must have your reasons. Besides, I don't have to know..."

Seeing that Huaiyu finally stopped asking questions, Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to him and said:

"Okay, you can chat with your mother here, and I'll wait for you over there."

"Thank you ma'am."

Luo Lan sighed, stood up from the ground, and walked not far away with A Cai and A Hong.

When only Huaiyu and three tombs were left here, Huaiyu's tears suddenly fell uncontrollably, but he quickly wiped them away with his sleeves.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"Mom, I... really miss you. Although my current mother is very kind to me, I still want to know what you look like. Many times, I have dreamed that you came back to see me, but... ...but I have never seen your face clearly. Can you please, next time you come to my dream, don’t go so fast or stay so far away from me. I want to see your face. I want to know. , what do you look like, my dear mother?"

At this point, he sobbed a few times and continued:

"I am nine years old. My current mother told me that I am a man and cannot cry. When I miss you, I want to cry many times, but I hold it back. I will not cry again in the future. , everyone is very kind to me, I am happy every day, you... just feel at ease!"

After saying this, he looked at the two new graves again and asked in a low voice:

"Mom, what is going on? I have too many questions about you, but my mother always says that I am still young and won't tell me what happened to you. I can guess that these two people, It must have something to do with you..."

"Huaiyu, it's time for us to go back."

Maybe because there were things to do at home, or maybe because he was worried that Huaiyu would be sad if he stayed here for a long time, Luo Lan asked A Cai to urge Huaiyu.

Huaiyu nodded hurriedly, and after kowtowing to the tomb three times again, he reluctantly got up and followed Ah Cai, turning back and walking down the mountain step by step.

On the way back to the city, Luo Lan looked at Huaiyu who looked worried and asked softly:

"not happy?"

Huaiyu shook his head hurriedly,

"No, on my ninth birthday, my mother took me to see my own mother. I was very happy."

"But Mom sees that you seem to be worried, are you still thinking about the two new graves?"

Luo Lan knew that if she didn't explain this matter clearly to him, he might keep thinking about it in his heart. But if she told him that his mother was snatched away by his biological father and brutally killed his mother's men and children, At the cost, this fact may leave a shadow in Huaiyu's heart.

Huaiyu was afraid that Luo Lan would be angry, so he quickly shook his head in denial.

"No...no, I just don't understand why they are so close to my mother."

Luo Lan raised his head, patted his shoulder, pondered for a while, and said softly:

"Since you want to know so much, I will tell you that those two graves, one belongs to your uncle and the other... belongs to your cousin. They both died in accidents."

Hearing this, Huaiyu became interested and couldn't help but ask:

"Then who moved their graves?"

"It's your mother's brother with a different surname. You met him when you were very young, but now, maybe he doesn't want to disturb your peaceful life, so he doesn't come to see you."

"Then why is my mother buried in a mass grave in the west of the city instead of entering the royal mausoleum?"

This……

Huaiyu's questions came one after another, and Luo Lan had to use countless lies to cover up the first lie. The lies she had made up now made her a little overwhelmed.

She hesitated again. She really didn't know how to answer this question.

But looking at Huaiyu's eyes looking forward to knowing the answer, she still lied to him:

"Because...because your mother said before she died that she didn't want to enter the royal mausoleum. She had no freedom during her lifetime and wanted to live a free life after her death. She lives there now. The scenery is pleasant and peaceful. Maybe that's what she wanted. The place you want.”

"Oh!"

Huaiyu nodded as if he understood. Although he wanted to ask the question that he had tried to ask several times, (How did his father and mother die? Why did they die on the same day?), he stopped. , because he knew that his mother would definitely refuse to answer this question because of his young age.

When they returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, they happened to meet the carriage of Prince Xi's Mansion at the door. Yu Qiaoqiao hurriedly brought Xiaobao to her,

"Xiaobao, please salute Si Niang quickly."

Xiaobao half-bowed and saluted respectfully:

"Hello, Fourth Mother, hello, Brother Huaiyu..."

Luo Lan smiled quickly and stepped forward to help him up.

"Xiaobao is really getting more and more sensible. Your brothers and sisters are waiting for you. Let's go in!"

Just when she was about to welcome Xiaobao in, Leng Xi came towards her, clasped his fists and saluted her,

"Fourth sister-in-law, fifth brother is being polite now."

Looking at Leng Xi's face, Luo Lan always felt unspeakably bored. She also always felt that this Leng Xi was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

After she nodded to him, she signaled Yu Qiaoqiao to take Xiaobao and walk towards the palace.
