Chapter 1608: Visiting his foster mother
Leng Shuang stood up. “It’s all my fault. When I talked about what happened in the past, it made Madam sad and in tears.”
Hearing this, Leng Hua was relieved. He smiled gently. “Madam, it’s all in the past. Please don’t be sad. Mistress is fine now. I don’t think she wants you to be sad about her past.”
“Mm, I know.” Shangguan Wanrong assented and wiped her tears.
Leng Hua came forward. “By the way, Madam, Mistress’ foster elder brother came. His name is Guan Xilin. Mistress should have mentioned him to you!”
“Is that him? Is he here?” Shangguan Wanrong was stunned and then stood up. “Little Jiu told me about her big brother. Where is he?”
“He’s in the front hall. He just arrived in the city today. He said that he met Mistress and knew that Madam was here, so he came to pay respects.” Leng Hua answered. “He also brought Mistress’ news.”
Shangguan Wanrong told him hurriedly, “I’ll go to see him, then.” She asked Leng Hua and Leng Shuang to accompany her and went to the front hall together.
Guan Xilin was waiting in the hall while drinking tea. Not long after, he heard footsteps coming from outside and looked over. When he saw them arriving, he put his cup down and stood up.
“Xilin has met Foster Mother.” He welcomed her. After Shangguan Wanrong entered the hall, he went forward and knelt on one knee to salute her.
Hearing his words ‘foster Mother’, Shangguan Wanrong stepped forward quickly and helped him up. “Please stand up.” She supported him up and only then observed him closely. Shangguan Wanrong nodded at the sight of the tall and sturdy man in front of her.
“I’ve been hearing so much about you from Little Jiu. I finally saw you today. Come here, sit down and talk.” She motioned him to sit down while she also went to the hall to take a seat.
“Thank you, Foster Mother.” Guan Xilin said with a smile. Then, he looked at the person sitting on the main seat curiously. When he saw her youthful-looking appearance, he couldn’t help smiling. “Foster Mother, Little Jiu has been looking for you for so long. Now that she has found you, if Foster Father knows, he will be very happy.”
“Yes, it’s not easy for that child. I haven’t been at her side for so many years, letting her suffer so much.” She told him emotionally. Looking at Guan Xilin, she said, “But, fortunately, she has you as a big brother to take care of her. She told me that you are very kind to her and take care of her. Thank you very much.”
“That’s what I should do. As for her, she has helped me a lot.” Guan Xilin was a little embarrassed. After all, he hadn’t really helped his little sister. On the contrary, she had helped him a lot.
After hearing that, Shangguan Wanrong replied, “We’re all one family, there’s no need to be too courteous. Siblings have to support and take care of each other. You’ve sworn brotherhood to each other and are closer than biological siblings. I was also very happy to know that Little Jiu has you as her big brother.”
“You’re tired after a long journey. I asked Leng Shuang to clean a room for you. Later, have something to eat and have a good rest.”
“Thank you, Foster Mother.” He nodded with a smile. “I met Little Jiu on my way back. She asked me to tell you not to worry about her. There is no danger for her as she is accompanied by Xuanyuan Mo Ze. She will be back as soon as she wrapped up matters at her side.”
