From Chuixue Manor to the Qin family’s eastern land, one must pass through Luolan City and then travel another thousand miles east.

Everything was ready to go, and all matters at the manor were properly arranged.

Dong Huiying felt the world was too large. Although she had traveled extensively before and seen much scenery, it seemed like many things had happened recently, keeping her busy with all sorts of trivial matters, from the Capital to Nanling, and then to Chuixue Manor in the east.

Moreover, if you really think about it, it seems they had never truly enjoyed leisurely travels.

So this time, as Yixuan went to the Qin Family Ancestral Land, she decided to tag along, and of course, the remaining brothers of the Liang family looked up to her.

Dong Huiying covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I remember our family was always missing this person or that one, so this time it’s just right to have some fun."

Everyone laughed, the mistress had a childlike innocence, and they were happy to accompany her.

"Let’s go, set off!"

Dong Huiying waved her small hand, relishing in the moment of authority, and the carriages and horses set off on the road.

To prevent Old Lady Qin from getting lonely, Wu Wang volunteered to stay and keep her company. As for Little Star, still in swaddling clothes, Old Lady Qin kept him at the manor with the excuse that ’the child is too young.’

This was indeed a pity.

Outside the manor gates, Old Lady Qin watched the procession depart, affectionately patting Wu Wang’s little head.

"Wangwang, you really don’t want to go?"

Wu Wang shook his head obediently.

"Why?"

Wu Wang, in all seriousness, was already showing the demeanor of an elder brother despite his young age.

"Because great-grandmother is getting older, while father and mother are young, so I want to stay with great-grandmother."

The little child, smart for his age, probably didn’t know how deeply his words would affect the elder. He just said it as if it were the most natural thing, as if it were a matter of course.

This brought tears to Old Lady Qin’s eyes.

"You silly child."

She was indeed getting on in years, perhaps not many left. People often say that when there are elders at home, one should fulfill their filial duties while they still can, lest the time passes and the opportunity is lost. Yet many adults struggle to do this, but Little Wuwang had such a pure heart. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Great-grandmother, don’t cry."

Wu Wang clinched his little sleeve, wanting to wipe away his great-grandmother’s tears, but he was too short to reach her face, though Old Lady Qin graciously bent down to accommodate him.

She wrapped Little Wuwang in a hug and gave him a big kiss. Her eyes were still a bit red, but suddenly a cunning smile appeared on her wrinkled face.

"Wangwang, do you know why I agreed to let you stay?"

Little Wuwang tilted his head. Precocious as he might be, his age and experience were what they were, after all, he was still a child. How could he outwit an old woman wise with years?

Old Lady Qin snorted lightly: "I know Xuanxuan’s intentions, but how could I rest assured? Those people’s tricks are too despicable; I must follow them there! So..."

Little Wuwang’s eyes lit up.

Old Lady Qin winked playfully at Little Wuwang: "Let’s sneak away, stealthily follow behind them, and give them a big surprise!"

Surprise, or rather, a fright.

Imagine those youngsters thinking she stayed behind at the manor, only to suddenly appear before them. What an amusing expression that would be!

Old Lady Qin was like an old child, unable to hold back her laughter at the thought, eager to pull off a prank.

And as for Little Wuwang, his innocent eyes shone brightly, sparkling and glistening.

If he had a choice.

He would certainly wish to both stay with great-grandmother and follow alongside his parents.

So now he grinned from ear to ear, holding tightly onto great-grandmother’s hand, his little face filled with anticipatory excitement.
