Transmigrated Genius: Fragile Heiress Reigns Supreme-Chapter 652 - 654: The New Mansion (Part 1)

"Everyone, disperse."

The smile on her face faded. The Grand Dowager propped herself up on the table and stood. Her gaze lingered on Xiqiu’s face before falling on Fourth Master Xiao. She glanced deeply at Xiqiu, reluctantly looked at Min, and sighed, "It’s been a hustle and bustle all day, you all should return and rest. Tomorrow, Fourth Master must move."

Xiao Yanyi’s body jerked almost imperceptibly, his gaze quickly sweeping over Xiqiu’s face. He lowered his eyes and stood up with the Grand Dowager, his voice still gently weak, "What time do we move tomorrow?"

"At 7 a.m.," Fourth Master Xiao’s voice was calm and expressionless.

Xiao Yanyi nodded, turning to the Grand Dowager, "Mother, let me help you back." Saying this, he walked to the Grand Dowager’s side.

The Grand Dowager glanced at Fourth Master Xiao and Xiqiu, saying, "Go back!" She turned to leave the flower hall but saw Xing, Min, and Sheng sitting still. She told each child’s nanny, "Take them back." She looked at Xiao Yanzheng and Pang Guibin, "If you’re not going back today, rest here. Tomorrow, you can see them off."

Xiao Yanzheng’s eyes reddened. Pang Guibin stood and bowed to the Grand Dowager, responding, "Yes!"

Xiao Yanzheng’s reaction seemed like setting off a firecracker. Xing immediately burst into tears, followed by Sheng crying hoarsely...

The crying echoed in the empty hall. Xiqiu frowned tightly, stood up, and walked over to them, holding Xing and embracing Sheng, "Good children, don’t cry, don’t cry. The two mansions aren’t far apart. If you miss us, Housekeeper Hu can drive the carriage over."

The crying didn’t cease, and Min also started wiping tears aside.

The Grand Dowager and Nanny Wu had red eyes and looked away, telling Fourth Master Xiao, "Fourth Master, take Xiqiu back; she can’t be too upset now."

Fourth Master Xiao stood. However, Xing turned around and hugged Xiqiu’s waist, crying in her arms, "Aunt, please don’t move away. If you all leave, it’ll be so boring at home. No one will make snacks for us, no one to play with us, no one to walk with us."

Xiqiu sighed in her heart. What could she say? She could only embrace Xing, patting his back, "If you want snacks or someone to play with, you can stay with Grandmother over there for a few days. We’ll still meet often like before, and Min has to return daily for lessons."

Min hadn’t responded yet, but even if he did, it wasn’t possible to find a suitable tutor quickly. Therefore, for these days, he could only travel back and forth.

Xing’s crying finally subsided a bit. He lifted his head to look at the Grand Dowager, as if asking: Will we often visit over there to see Mother, Xing, and Fourth Uncle?

The Grand Dowager sighed softly, nodding to Xing.

Xing wiped his tears and looked at Xiqiu, "Then will Aunt still make delicious food for us and take us to play, like before?"

"Of course." Xiqiu smiled, comforting him, "Aunt will not forget the promises made to you. Your Fourth Uncle has left the little pony for you. When you grow a bit, your Fourth Uncle will teach you to ride. Next year, we’ll go to the mountains to see the squirrels."

Xing’s eyes brightened with a smile, nodding repeatedly. Perhaps thinking of Fourth Master Xiao, he looked at him wide-eyed. Xiqiu also turned to look at Fourth Master Xiao. Fourth Master Xiao furrowed his eyebrows and, after a moment, nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Great!" Children are children after all, quickly shifting their emotions. Xing laughed and pull on Sheng, who was still crying, whispering something to him. Sheng’s eyes lit up, pulling Xiqiu, "Do I get that too?"

This was difficult for Xiqiu to decide. When Xing was sick, she made many promises, acting on behalf of Fourth Master Xiao. Now that he was there, she could only turn to him for his decision. Fourth Master Xiao saw her turning to him again, coughed, and nodded.

Sheng wiped his tears and snot with his sleeve, laughing sheepishly, which made the Grand Dowager frown and instruct his nanny, "Quick, take him to change his clothes."

The atmosphere finally lightened a bit. Xiao Yanzheng came over, leaning on Xiqiu’s arm, "Fourth Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Huh?" Xiqiu was startled. Xiao Yanzheng saw her surprised expression, clung to Xiqiu’s arm, raised an eyebrow to look at Fourth Master Xiao, almost identical eyes, a glance, Xiao Yanzheng raised her chin, "Fourth Brother, you’re with Fourth Sister for a lifetime. I just want her for one night, no matter what you say, tonight Fourth Sister is mine."

Xiqiu saw Fourth Master Xiao didn’t react and quickly mediated, "How can that be? Your husband is still here. You can’t leave him alone."

The Grand Dowager pointed at Xiao Yanzheng, "So unruly, growing up without being as sensible as Xing."

"Husband is fine. He said about these small things; I have the final say." She looked at Pang Guibin, "Husband?"

Pang Guibin blushed as everyone looked at him, hanging his head, voice barely audible, "I... I’m fine." The Grand Dowager spat at Xiao Yanzheng, looking at the First Madam, "Such a child who never grows up!" but felt a bit more satisfied with Pang Guibin in her heart.

The First Madam wore a faint smile, glancing at Pang Guibin.

Xiqiu was also secretly surprised. Xiao Yanzheng let go of Xiqiu and walked to Fourth Master Xiao, looking expectantly, "Fourth Brother." Then raised a finger, "Just one night."

Fourth Master Xiao didn’t speak, his face somewhat dark. After a long while, he finally said, "You move a lot in your sleep, and your Fourth Sister is not feeling well now..." Xiao Yanzheng blushed, stomped her foot, "Fourth Brother!"

Pang Guibin’s gaze fell on the blushing Xiao Yanzheng, filled with indulgence.

Xiqiu felt at ease, as Fourth Master Xiao continued, "Be careful when you’re asleep."

Considered as agreed, Xiao Yanzheng immediately smiled, looking at Fourth Master Xiao like a child, nodding, "I got it, I’ll be very careful not to hurt Fourth Sister."

This also admits she doesn’t sleep soundly, a teasing look flickered in Fourth Master Xiao’s eyes. Xiao Yanzheng saw it and jokingly pouted, "Second Brother, see, Fourth Brother is bullying me!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The room was filled with laughter.

Xiqiu couldn’t help but laugh. Fourth Master Xiao didn’t want everyone to feel too sentimental, so he pretended to cheer things up. She suddenly grew curious about how the six siblings were when they were young, thinking the youngest, Xiao Yanzheng, must have been spoilt and adored.

She looked at Xiao Yanzheng, feeling it remarkable. In such a high-born family, with so many brothers who adored her, surrounded by protective maids and attendants, her character, though initially distant, became sensible and understanding once familiarized.
