Chapter 1402: Chapter 38: Foreign Tribe Beauty

Lui Muyi stood dumbfounded, staring at the slender figure without any subsequent action.

The slender figure slowly advanced, revealing that familiar face.

Su Xian’er stepped out of the front gate and stood there quietly, without speaking or making any movement.

In her hand, she was holding a five or six-year-old boy who nestled in her arms, staring at Lui Muyi with his dark, large eyes. However, upon meeting Lui Muyi’s gaze, he quickly shrank back, hiding into Su Xian’er’s arms.

"Mother..."

He gently shook Su Xian’er’s hand, also bringing her back to her senses.

Su Xian’er seemed as if she had been awakened from a deep sleep, startled for a moment and then regaining her composure.

She looked towards Lui Muyi opposite her, slowly showing a shy, faint smile, lowered her head, instinctively gripping the child’s hand tightly, not speaking, just silently stepping aside, making way for the door behind her.

Lui Muyi silently advanced, standing beside Su Xian’er.

However, Su Xian’er kept her head lowered, not once looking at him, leaving Lui Muyi unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

"You..."

He opened his mouth, but the words that came out were so hoarse and harsh that he couldn’t help but stop.

The little boy seemed very curious about him, lifting his head to swiftly glance at him, then quickly lowering it again, once more clutching at Su Xian’er’s clothing without letting go.

Su Xian’er raised her hand and gently patted the boy’s head twice, strangely calming his restlessness.

"Mui Yi!"

Suddenly, a distinctively emphatic call came from behind.

Su Xian’er raised her head, only to see someone lifting the carriage curtain, and then, a woman with white skin, blonde hair, and a high nose stepped down from the carriage. Although she was dressed in the attire of a Great Zhou woman, it bore a uniquely beautiful quality on her, involuntarily making people feel favorable towards her.

She smiled exceptionally friendly towards Su Xian’er, greeting her in her distinct accent.

"Hello! Are you Mui Yi’s family? My name is Annie Rodriguez, just call me Annie."

Su Xian’er stared at that unusual face, her smile completely disappearing, her complexion gradually turning pale.

Yet she stubbornly clenched her teeth, refusing to speak.

Such a demeaning attitude also made Lui Muyi’s face look unpleasant.

"This is Annie, she’s greeting you."

Su Xian’er still didn’t speak but instinctively clenched her hands tighter.

The child she was holding clearly felt her tension, snuggling more into her embrace.

Annie looked strangely from one to the other, making motions toward Lui Muyi: "Mui Yi, did I say something wrong? Or is there a problem with how I expressed myself? Please explain for me..."

"No need to explain."

Lui Muyi curtly interrupted her.

Instantly, the atmosphere turned exceedingly cold.

"Young Master, you’re back!"

Just then, the caretaker, bubbling with excitement, stepped out from inside the mansion, coming up to greet him from afar: "Young Master, the master already knows you are back, he’s very happy and is waiting for you in the parlor..." Approaching closer, he noticed Su Xian’er and the child, quickly reining in his smile, bowing to Su Xian’er: "Young Madam, Young Master, the Master invites you."

"Understood."

Lui Muyi glanced at Su Xian’er and her son, then stepped into the mansion.

The caretaker hurriedly followed: "Young Master, you’ve finally returned. During these days, the master often mentioned you, practically sending someone to the dock every day to wait for your return. Others said you wouldn’t come back, but neither the master nor the young madam believed them, firmly convinced that you would return..."

The caretaker was fervently asserting his presence.

"Wait."

But Lui Muyi suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Su Xian’er. He instructed the caretaker, "This is Annie. Please arrange her accommodation. Be thorough!"

Su Xian’er looked up, swiftly glanced at Lui Muyi, and remained motionless.

The caretaker was momentarily stunned but still responded, "Yes, young master."

Annie was clearly interested in the child in Su Xian’er’s arms, trying to amuse the child with her strangely accented speech.

Yet the child seemed quite frightened, scared by her unusual attire.

The caretaker quickly stepped forward, seemingly at a loss with Miss Annie. Thankfully, with his experienced demeanor, he smiled, his face full of wrinkles, continuously nodding and bowing, "Miss Annie, your accommodation is ready, please follow me."

He gestured invitingly.

Annie quickly nodded, "Hello, hello, lead the way, sir."

The two exchanged pleasantries and slowly entered the mansion.

Only when both figures had completely disappeared from sight did Su Xian’er withdraw her gaze.

"Mom..."

The little boy tugged at her sleeve, "Mom, who are they? Is he An’er’s dad? And who is that strange person?"

Su Xian’er moved her lips but eventually did not know how to explain to the child.

"Does An’er want a dad?"

"Yes, An’er wants daddy."

The little boy nodded vigorously.

"That’s good."

Su Xian’er, not intending to say more, slowly turned and walked into the mansion, holding the child’s hand.

Upon entering the courtyard where she had resided for years, Nurse Wu, full of joy, came up to greet her, "Madam, why are you still here? The young master is back! I just mentioned that the lady had left the mansion and might have missed the young master. It’s fortunate that you are still here. The master has just sent someone to ask for you to come to the main hall."

Su Xian’er glanced at her and responded softly.

"Mhm, I know."

Though she said this, there was no indication that she planned to go to the parlor, instead, she sat down on a chair.

"Madam, about this..."

Nurse Wu had a bad feeling.

Since the young master left, the madam had managed both the inner and outer affairs of the household, not only keeping the mansion in perfect order but also boosting the Lui Family’s Mansion’s royal merchant status tremendously.

With the child, she had been busy managing everything meticulously. Now that the young master was finally back, it was supposed to be a sweet return.

However, looking at the madam’s expression, there was no trace of happiness.

Strange indeed!

But by evening, news had spread from the front courtyard, clearing up her confusion.

All the servants in Lui Family’s Mansion knew that the young master had brought back a beautiful woman from a foreign tribe. This beauty, with her pale skin, curly blonde hair, high nose, and tall stature, was liked by everyone for her approachability and good looks.

Not only that, but the young master also arranged for this foreign beauty to stay right next to his quarters and even shared lunch with her.

Rumors inevitably started spreading. Everyone secretly sympathized with the madam.

Just when she thought her patience had paid off, it turned out to be such an outcome.

Su Xian’er seemed not to hear the servants’ conversations, still handling her tasks meticulously without any change in expression.

However, in the evening, someone from the front courtyard took away the young master.

Only then did Su Xian’er become visibly anxious.
