Chapter 375 He's actually quite good at teaching children.
Seeing the expression on his wife's face, Lord Xie did not speak directly.
His eyes were lowered, as if he were thinking.
Qin Jiuwei put down her chopsticks, glanced at Madam Hou, but said nothing.
It's April now. Xie Siyuan was sent to the village last winter, so it's been almost half a year.
She didn't think Xie Siyuan would become a better person because of this.
On the contrary, it is more likely to get worse.
However, he will only receive real punishment if he commits an even bigger mistake.
He made such a mistake that even the Lady of the Marquis could no longer protect him...
Only in this way can we truly eliminate this scourge.
Lady Hou couldn't bear to part with this grandson and would bring him back sooner or later.
Why should she be the one to stand in the way?
She turned her gaze and saw that Xie Yanli and the children did not seem inclined to speak.
Lord Xie put down his teacup, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
"The last time I saw him was at Chongzhi's funeral. Siyuan has indeed become much more well-behaved. He has been gone for so long, it's time to bring him back."
Madam Xie had long missed Xie Siyuan.
The family didn't argue any further, and the matter was quickly settled.
When Xie Jue heard that Xie Siyuan was coming back, her face immediately fell.
When he returned to Qinglan Courtyard, he held the kitten, sat on the soft couch, and remained silent.
Qin Jiuwei noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she walked over and sat down next to him.
Xie Jue pouted, looked up at her, and said in a muffled voice.
"I hate Xie Siyuan! I don't want him to come back! He's a bad kid! What if he bullies me again?"
Qin Jiuwei patted his head and said, "Don't worry, your mother is here. He can't hurt you."
Just as I was about to say a few more words of comfort, I suddenly heard low footsteps coming from outside the door.
Xie Yanli stepped into the room and walked to Xie Jue's side.
"If you're so afraid of being bullied, I can teach you a few tricks so you can protect yourself."
"When danger is imminent, what you should do is not hide here and grieve, but to enhance your skills and make yourself stronger."
Xie Yanli met his gaze, "Jue-ge'er, do you understand?"
Xie Jue blinked at him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded gently.
What my father said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Qin Jiu turned her gaze slightly, looking at Xie Yanli's cold and stern expression, and the corners of her lips involuntarily curved into a smile.
Surprisingly, he's quite good at teaching children.
Fifteen minutes later, in the courtyard.
The bright moonlight fell on the center of the courtyard, casting a clear glow.
Xie Yanli turned to look at Xie Jue standing to the side and asked, "Are you ready?"
Xie Jue stood straight, her little hands clenched into fists, her tender little face tilted upwards.
Super shouted: "Ready!"
Xie Yanli smiled gently, stood opposite him, and raised his hand to demonstrate.
"When you throw a punch, keep your arm straight, your feet steady, and don't be impatient."
Xie Jue stared intently at his father's movements, his eyes filled with admiration.
He tried to throw a punch; although he didn't use much force, his movements were quite impressive.
Xie Yanli reached out and straightened his wrist. "Very good, be a little more steady, take it slow."
Under the moonlight, his movements were crisp and clean, exuding a cool and handsome aura.
Qin Jiuwei stood under the corridor, watching the two practice martial arts, her eyes growing increasingly gentle.
As the night breeze blew by, the shadows of the father and son in the courtyard were stretched long and thin by the moonlight.
One small and one large, one still and one moving.
The next day, at the village outside the city.
Xie Siyuan opened his eyes and quickly realized something was wrong.
The room was much quieter than usual.
The usual commotion of servants outside, which could be heard early in the morning, had vanished without a trace today.
He sat up and found a clean, brand-new set of clothes on the bedside table.
The clothes are exquisitely made, embroidered with fine, subtle patterns.
He had never worn such exquisite clothes since he was sent to this estate.
I don't know when medicine was applied to my back.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and he answered it.
A servant pushed the door open and came in.
He held a basin of water with utmost respect, his face beaming with smiles: "Young Master, you're awake."
Xie Siyuan stared at the servant with a cold gaze.
The servant trembled even more at the sight of his expression and hurriedly and carefully helped him wash and change his clothes.
At breakfast, there were more than twice as many dishes on the table, and each one was something he hadn't eaten in a while.
Xie Siyuan didn't touch his chopsticks, but instead turned to look at Granny Zhang next to him.
"What's going on? You're usually so stingy with meat for me, why are you being so generous today?"
Zhang Pozi, who was usually very harsh, was unusually respectful today.
She smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Young master, you don't know this, but the Marquis's mansion has sent word that they will be taking you back to the mansion tomorrow!"
"Back to the Marquis's residence?" Xie Siyuan narrowed his eyes.
The spoon wobbled, casting a dark shadow.
You've left me here for so long! I've suffered so much!
They're only taking me back now! Just you wait! Nobody's going to get away with this!
After finishing his breakfast, he suddenly noticed a servant bending over and pouring something into a large basin not far from the window.
He approached and stared at the rice bowl, noticing a lot of white powder on it.
"What is this?"
The servant was startled and quickly stopped what he was doing, saying timidly, "Young master, this is poison... specifically used to poison wild boars."
"Poisonous wild boar?"
"Yes, young master. Wild boars often run out around the estate and ruin the crops. The steward said we need to find a way to get rid of them, so he had these prepared."
The servant smiled apologetically and explained cautiously.
"The poison is mixed with Gelsemium elegans and aconite; just a tiny bit is enough to kill a wild boar. It's usually stored in a barn far from our residence. The foreman has repeatedly instructed that it must never be used casually, and especially must not come into contact with human food."
"Even a tiny bit will be fatal if ingested. Young Master, it's best not to get too close, lest you get some on yourself."
The servant explained carefully, but Xie Siyuan didn't listen, his eyes fixed on the white powder.
The Imperial Palace, Shou'an Palace.
The Empress Dowager sat on the phoenix throne, holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in her hand.
The palace servants held their breath, not daring to utter a sound.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager," called out, followed by a pretty young girl.
The girl was slender, and although she kept her head down, the gentle and kind nature of her features could not be concealed.
The Empress Dowager heard footsteps and slowly raised her head.
His eyes fell on the woman.
Her gaze swept from the woman's head to her feet, then slowly returned, settling on the woman's downcast face.
After a moment, she smiled slightly, "He seems like a sensible person."
The woman immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "This commoner, Meng Wanqing, greets Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. May Your Majesty live a thousand years!"
