Chapter 941: Chapter 941 Displaying Affection and Overwhelming Jealousy (2)

Old Lady Cui scolded as she did, but her heart was filled with concern for her grandson. After listening to her daughter’s words, she picked up the letter again and read it over. Seeing that her grandson had not specified a date of return, her anger flared up once more, "Back then, I should have arranged for a strict tutor to accompany him to the South, so that now, as an adult, he wouldn’t be so recklessly bold. When he returns, have your elder brother find a tutor to properly discipline him; otherwise, I fear he will grow ever more unruly."

Knowing that her nephew had crossed her mother’s line this time, Cui Qingrou said with a smile, "Mother, Xiaoqi is a good child, just a bit too innocent. But there’s nothing wrong with that; had we left him alone in the South for over a decade, anyone else might have long since harbored resentment."

"Xiaoqi is a good-hearted and pure child," Old Lady Cui very much agreed with her daughter’s words, her tone not lacking pride.

It was with reluctance that she had sent her grandson to the South back then, worried that as he grew up, he might become estranged from the Cui family. To her surprise, years later, when he returned, he was still willing to be close to her, his grandmother, and showed great respect for his concerned aunt and uncle, which showed he really was commendable.

Although this was what she thought, Old Lady Cui still hoped to find a tutor to properly instruct her grandson, not for any other reason but to teach him how to conduct himself in society so that his future days would be easier.

Seeing Old Lady Cui brighten a little, Cui Qingrou hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mother, should we wait for Xiaoqi to have his fill of fun and return on his own, or continue the search?"

Without hesitation, Old Lady Cui said, "Naturally, we continue the search. If he’s doing well, let him have some fun for a few days; if not, bring him back immediately."

Cui Qingrou thought this was a good idea, but the problem she had to face remained. If they did not find a way to solve it, she feared this willful nephew might run away from home again. This time he had been lucky not to encounter any bad people, but who could guarantee such luck next time?

With this in mind, Cui Qingrou tentatively said, "Mother, Xiaoqi is at his most rebellious age. He now cares greatly for the girl who grew up with him. If you adamantly oppose them, he will likely want to be with her even more. Instead of separating them harshly, it might be better to bring the girl to our residence. Maybe in time, his affection for the girl will fade. It’s better than forcefully tearing them apart and having Xiaoqi remember her for a lifetime."

Old Lady Cui’s expression changed, and with a sigh of helplessness, she said, "You’re well aware of Xiaoqi’s temperament. Although he still has the heart of a child, has he ever changed his mind about something he’s set on? I’m worried that bringing that girl to the residence, if she offends someone with her lack of manners, would not be doing Xiaoqi a favor but rather harming him."

It turned out that Old Lady Cui had actually considered bringing the girl to the residence, but after seeing how Cui Pingan had dared to argue with her and even run away from home for the girl’s sake, she had completely abandoned the idea.

Upon hearing this, Cui Qingrou immediately understood the implications in her mother’s words and couldn’t help but furrow her brow.

With his mother’s protection, even if Princess Fuyun harbored ill will towards Xiaoqi, she would consider her actions carefully and not dare to harm him openly. But the girl was Xiaoqi’s weakness; if they brought her to the residence, wouldn’t Princess Fuyun seize the opportunity to target someone who could affect Xiaoqi?

They could protect Xiaoqi, only because he was the blood of the Cui family, the head of the household. But what was that girl to them? Princess Fuyun could easily find an excuse to deal with the girl, and they would have no reason even to object.

It seemed that she, too, needed to urge Xiaoqi to be understanding of his mother’s intentions and to prepare himself mentally...

Meanwhile, Cui Pingan, who was still wrestling with a pile of logs at the Mo Family residence, was oblivious to the bumpy road ahead. Watching more and more kindling pile up on the ground, a joyful smile spread across his face.
