Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 239 Walking Sideways

When Lu Qingqing returned home with Little Grey and Little Ball,

Lin Erzhu has not returned yet.

Wang Xiuxiu looked at the two little ones following behind Lu Qingqing.

He asked in confusion:

"Qingqing, what's going on with these two little ones?"

Where are Dot and Bean?

Lu Qingqing gave an awkward smile.

"Dian Dian and Dou Dou like to be on the mountain."

I left them on the mountain to watch over the purple ginseng.

These are two puppies that someone gave me.

I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it.

Wang Xiuxiu squatted down.

They curiously observed Little Grey and Little Ball.

The two little ones are round and fluffy.

Its eyes are bright and shiny; it's incredibly cute.

"Oh my, these two puppies are so adorable!"

There are just a few beans in the mountains.

I'm a little worried about them.

These two little guys are in the mountains.

What if we encounter any danger?

Lu Qingqing quickly comforted him:

"Second sister-in-law, it's alright."

Dot and Bean are very clever.

We grow purple ginseng in our mountains!

I put them in charge of watching over things.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuxiu felt slightly relieved.

"Yes, those two little ones are very clever."

With them watching over the Purple Spirit Ginseng, we can feel more at ease.

But there are many wild animals in the mountains, and I'm always afraid they'll be bullied.

Lu Qingqing smiled.

Second sister-in-law, don't worry.

They are much more comfortable in the mountains than at home.

Besides, the wild animals in the mountains are all deep in the mountains.

"Isn't it so easy to get out?"

Wang Xiuxiu was about to speak

Then they saw Li Xiuming's carriage parked at the door.

"Qingqing, look! The magistrate is coming!"

Lu Qingqing turned her head.

Just then, I saw Li Xiuming helping the old lady down from the carriage.

Lu Qingqing rushed over immediately.

"Mother, brother, what brings you here?"

"Come inside and sit down."

The old lady had a kind smile.

He gently took Lu Qingqing's hand and led her into the house.

As soon as she sat down, the old lady said kindly:

"Your mother and brother have come today."

I came to tell you...

Your brother and I are going to Tongzhou.

Lu Qingqing asked in surprise:

"Tongzhou, why are Mother and Brother going to Tongzhou?"

Is there something you need to take care of?

"How long will it take you to get back?"

The old lady gently comforted Lu Qingqing's hand.

"Qingqing, your brother has been promoted to prefect."

Let's go over and settle in first.

Lu Qingqing playfully congratulated him:

"Congratulations on your promotion, brother. Since that's the case..."

Then Qingqing won't hold them back.

Brother and mother, please go and make arrangements.

When you go to Tongzhou in the future,

With his mother and brother protecting him,

"Then you can do whatever you want in Tongzhou."

Li Xiuming smiled and tapped Lu Qingqing's forehead.

"You're such a chatterbox, but don't worry."

Once you arrive in Tongzhou, your elder brother will naturally protect you.

However, this trip is not as convenient as our usual meetings.

Don't worry, I've arranged everything here.

Even if a new magistrate comes, he won't make things difficult for you.

If you need any help

Make sure someone is sent to inform me.

Lu Qingqing's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded vigorously.

“Brother, I remember.”

You and your mother should take good care of yourselves in Tongzhou.

Don't overwork yourself.

The old lady looked at the brother and sister with eyes full of love.

"You two are thinking of each other."

Tomorrow, when you arrive in Tongzhou,

You must put your ambitions to good use.

We'll strive to ensure that Qingqing can do whatever she wants in Tongzhou.

Qingqing, don't worry too much about us.

We will take good care of ourselves.

Lu Qingqing prepared some gifts and had them loaded onto the carriage.

The old lady pretended to be angry and said:

"How could your mother let you spend so much money?"

Lu Qingqing smiled and hugged the old lady.

"Mother, this is a token of my daughter's affection."

Please don't blame me.

The old lady gently patted Lu Qingqing's back and said:

Your mother loves you so much.

How could I bear to blame you?

It's just that your mother doesn't want to be too far away from you.

Lu Qingqing's eyes reddened, and she said coquettishly:

"Mother,

It's not like you won't see them again if you go to Tongzhou.

I will visit you and my brother whenever I have free time.

"Maybe by then, my brother will find me annoying."

Li Xiuming smiled and said from the side:

"How could that be? You've come to Tongzhou?"

The elder brother was overjoyed.

Mother, please don't be too sad.

Once everything is settled,

"We'll invite Qingqing to stay with us for a while."

The old lady nodded slightly.

He looked at Lu Qingqing with a gaze full of longing.

Lu Qingqing stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Mother, brother, you must be tired from your journey."

Please take good care of yourselves.

If there's anything you need help with in Tongzhou,

Please send someone to inform them.

The old lady's eyes were filled with tears.

Looking at Lu Qingqing with loving eyes,

"Good boy,"

You need to take good care of yourself while you're at home.

Don't worry your mother.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the carriage slowly departed.

Wang Xiuxiu looked at Lu Qingqing, who seemed somewhat sad.

comforted:

"Qingqing,

The old lady and Lord Li have been promoted.

This is a joyous occasion.

After a while, if you miss it really much,

"We could also go to Tongzhou to see them, wouldn't we?"

Lu Qingqing nodded slightly.

She forced a smile.

Second sister-in-law, I know.

I'm just a little reluctant to part with it.

My mother and brother have always been very good to me.

This sudden separation is really hard to bear.

Wang Xiuxiu didn't speak.

He only stood with Lu Qingqing at the door for a while longer.

Until the carriage gradually disappeared from sight,

The two then returned to the courtyard.

As soon as Little Grey and Little Ball saw them return...

It immediately came running over happily with its short legs.

It circled around their feet.

It was also making "woo-woo" sounds.

It seemed to be trying to comfort its somewhat downcast owner.

Lu Qingqing bent down and picked up Little Grey.

Gently stroking its soft down,

My mood has calmed down a bit.

Wang Xiuxiu looked at Lu Qingqing and said softly:

My love, life is full of sorrow and joy, separation and reunion.

The moon has its phases of waxing and waning.

A brief separation is for a better reunion in the future.

But as long as we keep each other in our hearts

Distance isn't a big problem.

Lu Qingqing looked up at Wang Xiuxiu with gratitude.

"Second sister-in-law, it's all thanks to you."

I felt a little empty inside just now, but I feel much better now.

As the two were talking,

Shuang'er and Chunlan came out of the house.

He was holding several sheets of paper covered with writing.

Shuang'er looked excited.

She walked briskly to Lu Qingqing and said:

"Mother, look at Shuang'er's handwriting, isn't it beautiful?"

"I learned all of this from Sister Chunlan."

A gentle smile immediately appeared on Lu Qingqing's face.

He squatted down, took the paper, and examined it carefully.

Although the characters on the paper were written in a childish style,

Yet he wrote each stroke with utmost care.

"Shuang'er's writing is truly wonderful! Chunlan's teaching is also very dedicated."

You're both very capable.

Chunlan gave a slight curtsy and said with a smile:

"Miss, you flatter me. It's Shuang'er who is clever and quick-witted."

It's easy to learn.

Shuang'er smiled as brightly as a flower when praised.

He then took Lu Qingqing's hand.

With a curious look on his face, he tilted his head back and asked:

"Mother, what did you just say about walking sideways?"

Is something fun happening?

"Can I take Shuang'er with me and walk sideways?"

Lu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh at Shuang'er's innocent appearance.

I gently pinched her rosy little face.

"Shuang'er, oh Shuang'er"

When my mother said "walk sideways," she didn't mean she actually walked sideways.

That was a joke.

It means that after Mother goes to Tongzhou,

With your uncle and grandmother taking care of your mother,

"Mom can be very comfortable in Tongzhou."

Shuang'er nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Her eyes were bright and sparkling.

"Shuang'er also wants to go to Tongzhou."

Shuang'er also wants to be free and easy.

"I still want to walk sideways with my mother."

Everyone listened to Shuang'er's words,

They all burst into laughter.

Seeing everyone laughing happily, Shuang'er

He chuckled along with her.

A crisp laugh echoed in the courtyard.

It was as if the sorrow of parting had never just occurred.
