Although the Xiaowan knew that Ling Chaofeng was a child that had been picked up, she still treated him as a normal person's child.
After all, the deceased grandfather and mother-in-law had raised him as their biological son and had even passed all the blood and sweat of their lives to him to inherit. It was as if they could not tell that Susu and Auntie Chen were not their biological mother, and that the Xiaowan would never consider them as her stepmother's children.
"How about that? From today onwards, my husband and I will be having our birthdays together. We are born on the 27th of May, okay?" Xiaowan raised his smiling face, "This way, I can celebrate the birthday of your birthday with you."
Ling Chaofeng laughed: How do you plan on celebrating?
In the past, when his younger brother and sister were having a birthday, Madam Xu would give them a bowl of noodles and lay down with an egg. Although Xiaowan had never eaten it before, but now that she had eaten it everyday, it was no longer strange for her to eat it.
"I can't think of any way I can if I can." Xiaowan asked.
"That depends on what you want. Do you want the stars in the sky to be picked by me too?" Ling Chaofeng said deliberately, "You have to ask me first."
"Stingy, even if you agree to my request, I can't really make things difficult for you." Xiaowan wrinkled her nose at him.
They walked along the market, and Susu called out to her. Ling Chaofeng then laughed: "Go, don't run too far, if you're separated, then stand in place and don't move, I'm here for you."
"I remember." The Xiaowan replied and ran over to Susu's side, playing around with her. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at Ling Chaofeng and wave at him.
After they bought a few things, they first went to the inn to rest. After eating lunch and bringing some fun and delicious food, Ling Chaofeng brought Xiaowan, Susu and the others to the Meng Manor to pay a visit.
Mrs. Meng did not make things difficult for them, and very smoothly let them go to see Lian Yi. Originally, there were only five or six servants who were looking after Lian Yi. Even in the entire family, they might not be able to find so many servants.
Xiaowan felt that Prefect Meng must have left some private property in front of him, but Lian Yi said that she would take it to return the bet to his brother.
"My sister-in-law took the child back to her parents' home." Lian Yi laughed bitterly, "My brother went to chase after him, but was left behind by his own family. He was just discussing how to be their son-in-law.
Lian Yi recounted the changes in his family, but her expression was faint, not at all sad. She warned Xiaowan repeatedly: "I am only telling you what kind of situation my family is in, not crying and complaining about poverty with you, don't misunderstand, and even more so, don't help my brother. Although his nature isn't too bad, he is lazy, and if you help him, he will definitely not improve."
The Xiaowan said, "I will leave the silver with you. You can look at the flowers yourself, or you can even make up for it. Is that not okay?"
Lian Yi shook her head and gave a wry smile, "My mother will definitely think of a way to give it to my brother. I would rather eat chaff with them than be used by them, to ruin your good intentions. Even if Ershan were to soar to greatness in the future, I would still have to think twice about taking care of them, not raise them for the rest of their lives. They are my biological brother, and not Ershan's. "
Xiaowan knew that Lian Yi was a girl who had her own ideas. Since she didn't want money, it would only make things difficult for her if she forced it on him. However, Susu nudged her from the side and said softly, "Ershan is still waiting."
Thus, they supported Lian Yi together. Her legs couldn't even land on the ground, so she could still use her walking stick to barely walk. Then, they went to the courtyard outside the pavilion to sit.
Ershan and Ling Chaofeng were originally waiting outside the courtyard door, but they still knew their limits and did not let Ershan directly rush into Miss's room. Only when Lian Yi came out did they meet him in the courtyard, while and went to clean the bedroom for Lian Yi.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew past and the flower petals gracefully landed on Ershan's head. Lian Yi reached out to pick at the flower, but just as she was about to do so, Ershan grabbed onto her hand. She smiled sweetly. "What are you doing?"
