Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

The next day, after waking up from a good sleep, Lai Di became well-behaved again. Although she still kept saying that she missed her mother, she didn't cry or make a fuss at all. She would eat obediently when she was fed, and play happily for a while when she was teased.

After breakfast, Qin Yunhe prepared to memorize his lessons while he was still energetic in the morning.

Seeing that her son was about to hold her daughter to recite the lesson again, Qin's mother hurriedly said, "Give Lai Di to me, and you just recite the lesson."

"Laidi is very well behaved. I just need to hold her and recite the lesson. I can't stay at home for many days, so I should spend more time with her."

"How can I study while holding a child? How can I concentrate when the child cries and makes a fuss, poops and pees?" His mother saw that her son was still trying to refuse, so she said, "How can I treat my own granddaughter badly? I promise to take good care of her. If you get tired of carrying her, just come to us. It's not like we won't let you see her. A few steps won't delay you from accompanying your daughter."

Mother Qin grabbed her granddaughter from her son without saying anything and said, "Laidi, go play in grandma's room, so your dad can study hard."

Lai Di was still struggling a little and was about to cry, so Qin's mother quickly said, "There are still a lot of honey fruits in grandma's room, do you want some?"

There was only so much in the eyes of the children, so when they heard that there were honey fruits, they became happy and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, go and memorize your lessons. You'll be visiting Mr. Gu in a few days, so don't let him get you stumped by questions. Come find us when you feel tired."

Seeing that his mother had coaxed her daughter, Qin Yunhe no longer insisted - if he really insisted on not letting his mother help take care of the child, his mother would probably think too much.

Mother Qin carried Lai Di back to her room and went to get the honey fruit.

These days, Qin's mother has thought carefully about what happened before, and she feels that she has neglected her granddaughter a lot.

I even thought about it too much and sometimes felt that I was a little picky about Yu Ru.

If you think about it carefully, Yu Ru is actually a very gentle person.

In the past few years, Yu Ru has been managing the household finances quite well. Apart from her somewhat decisive temper, there is nothing wrong with her.

Seeing her son like this, Qin's mother was looking forward to Yu Ru coming back soon.

Qin's mother put the candied fruits on a plate and asked Lai Di to sit on the table.

Lai Di reached out to grab it, and Qin's mother quickly grabbed her hand: "Hey - be good, I'll break it open and let you eat it. You can't eat such a big piece."

Mother Qin broke off a small piece of the honey fruit and handed it to Lai Di. Unexpectedly, Lai Di did not eat it immediately after receiving it. Instead, she held it in front of her grandmother and said, "Eat it."

Qin's mother didn't realize that her granddaughter wanted her to eat it, she thought she was just asking her if she could eat it.

"Well, let's eat."

Lai Di continued to hold it up and said, "Grandma, eat it..."

Mother Qin suddenly realized: "Give it to grandma? Grandma won't eat it, Lai Di can eat it by herself."

Lai Di, however, held it up persistently, her tone becoming more calm: "Grandma, eat it!"

Mother Qin couldn't help but feel touched. What did this little baby know? She actually knew to let her eat first. Mother Qin took the piece of honey fruit from Lai Di's little hand and ate it, finding it particularly sweet.

Qin's mother broke off another small piece for Lai Di, and this time Lai Di took it and started eating happily.

"Laidi, what else do you want to eat?"

"Missing mom..."

Mother Qin choked and wondered how she could give it to him.

"Then how about asking your father to bring your mother back?"

"it is good--"

"Then when you see mom, ask her to come home, okay?"

Lai Di didn’t understand what it meant to be taken back, but she knew that this meant she could see her mother again.

"it is good--"

When Qin Yunhe went to see his daughter after reading for more than an hour, his mother was singing nursery rhymes to Lai Di.

“The willows are alive, spinning tops;

Yangliuqing, empty the bell;

Yang Liu died, playing shuttlecock...”

Lai Di sat in her grandmother's arms, swaying from side to side to the nursery rhymes, while Qin's mother, with her darling child on her lap, was actually enjoying herself quite a lot.

Qin Yunhe was very surprised. He didn't expect that the grandfather and grandson would be so affectionate and stick together in such a short while.

"Di'er~"

"Daddy~"

When Lai Di saw her father come in, her already smiling face instantly became even brighter, and she opened her little hands towards Qin Yunhe.

Qin Yunhe picked up his daughter and asked, "Di'er, what are you playing with? Why are you so happy?"

Lai Di pressed a piece of uneaten honey fruit in her hand into Qin Yunhe's mouth, motioning him to eat it.

Qin Yunhe's mouth was stuffed with the honey fruit and he opened his mouth and ate it involuntarily.

Qin Yunhe shook his head helplessly and smiled, then gently pressed his cheek against his daughter's face.

Mother Qin smiled and praised her granddaughter: "Our Lai Di is so well behaved and obedient. She doesn't cry or make a fuss, and she even knows to give the delicious food to grandma first."

Qin Yunhe was also very happy to hear her mother praising her daughter for being well behaved: "Yes, our Lai Di is the best and most obedient..."

As the mothers were saying this, the sound of children chirping and laughing could be heard outside.

"grandmother--"

"Third Grandma——"

Two children's voices ran in accompanied by the sound of thudding footsteps. One was Qin An's voice, and the other was Qin Fei, the youngest son of Qin Yunhe's eldest cousin. Both children were just five years old.

The two little kids rushed in shouting, and Qin's mother hurriedly said, "Hey, why are you two running around by yourselves?"

"Auntie is behind me~"

"Auntie is behind me~"

The two kids rushed to answer.

Qin Jirui, who was behind, also came in: "Auntie, I'm here. These two little monkeys were too noisy, jumping up and down, chasing them made me so tired."

As soon as Qin Jirui entered the room, she saw Lai Di in Qin Yunhe's arms. Her eyes lit up immediately and she opened her arms towards Lai Di: "Laidi~~~Di'er is back~~~"

Lai Di was still too young and had completely forgotten Qin Jirui. Seeing her holding out her arms, she turned around and fell into Qin Yunhe's arms.

"Uh, Lai Di, don't you remember your aunt?" Qin Jirui said aggrievedly.

Qin Yunhe saw that his cousin didn't even glance at him, and thought to himself: So you just can't see me, right?

"Little kid, you'll forget her if you don't see her for a long time. You'll be familiar with her after playing with her for two days."

Qin Jirui said unhappily: "Who can I blame if we don't know each other anymore? Lai Di used to be so attached to me..."

Qin Yunhe: ...So you still have to blame me...

Qin Yunhe was also helpless about this, but he was in the wrong so he could only change the subject.

Qin Jirui stopped dwelling on this matter and said:

"I just heard from Aunt Li that a peddler came and went to the east end of the village. I was just about to take these two little monkeys with me. Do you want to bring Di with you? Maybe there will be some little toys that she likes."

Qin Jirui looked at Lai Di and said, "Laidi, do you want to go with your aunt to see the peddler?"

Qin An, who was teasing Lai Di with curiosity, remembered what he was going to do when he heard his aunt talking about the peddler.

"Right! We are going to see the peddler." Qin An jumped up: "Grandma, the peddler has windmills, clay figurines, an old man, and masks!"

"Aunt, let's go quickly, the peddler will be gone soon!" Qin An and Qin Fei grabbed Qin Jirui's sleeves and dragged her out.

Qin Jirui hurriedly urged Qin Yunhe, "Fifth brother, are you going? If you don't go, I'll bring Di with me."
