Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Family Members

"Cen Bao, Xi Bao, did you two have fun at home today with big brother keeping you company?"

When Yin Hehe arrived, she saw several people in Xi Bao’s room.

However, it was different from before. Usually, the two little ones only had to be together to play games on their tablets.

But today, they were actually sitting quietly reading books, and beside them, there were piles of unfinished paper models. It looked as though they were learning and teaching on the spot.

"Mommy, big brother is so amazing, he even understands the principles of rockets, and big missiles!"

As soon as Cen Bao saw mommy come in, he began to excitedly exclaim.

The usually aloof Xi Bao also nodded in agreement.

Yin Hehe found it a bit funny.

Her two sons, having inherited their daddy’s IQ, had never found learning to be much of a challenge.

To see them so eager and curious today, as their mother, she felt truly reassured.

"Of course, big brother is a key student at Imperial Capital Huagao. He’s very impressive."

Yin Hehe’s approving gaze turned to the young man in the room, but she found him shyly scratching the back of his head.

After a while, Yin Hehe called him out.

"Xiaochen, I bought you a few sets of clothes to change into. You’ve worked hard saving your sister today. Go have a bath first, and change your clothes."

She handed over the new clothes.

But upon seeing them, the young man immediately became flustered and refused.

"No need, no need, Auntie, I have plenty of clothes at home, you shouldn’t spend the money. And, I’m going back today, so there’s no need for a bath and a change of clothes."

He revealed a simple and honest smile, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes were filled with the purity unique to youth.

How could this child understand so much?

Yin Hehe liked him even more.

"Now that you are here, you should follow uncle and auntie’s arrangements. Don’t you want uncle to help you with your school issues? You’ll need to wait for him to get off work anyway, right? It’ll be very late by the time he returns, how would you go back? We can’t expect your uncle to send you to the Imperial Capital again, can we?"

"But..." Upon hearing this, the young man began to feel uneasy.

Yin Hehe, being very perceptive, saw his expression and guessed he was worried about his home. So, in front of him, she took out her phone.

"Don’t worry, I’ll call your parents right now. They won’t scold you."

"...Okay." Finally, the young man agreed.

Soon, he took the clothes and went to take a bath, while Yin Hehe found the Xiahou Family’s number through the old butler and dialed.

"Doo...doo doo..."

When the call connected, Yin Hehe specifically went onto the balcony, where it was quiet and the conversation wouldn’t be disturbed.

"Hello? Who is this?"

At last, someone answered with a gentle female voice.

Upon hearing it, Yin Hehe immediately struck up a conversation: "Hello, is this... Sister-in-law Six? I am Hehe."

"Hehe?" The name came out, perhaps because Yin Hehe didn’t get around much when she was in the Imperial Capital.

The woman on the phone, Madame Xiahou Six, didn’t seem to recognize her.

Yin Hehe could only continue to explain: "Right, you don’t remember? We met once at the senior madame’s house, when her daughter Jingxiao passed away. I was there on General’s orders to oversee the funeral."

"Ah!!!!" Just with that, the woman on the phone finally remembered.

In that instant, Yin Hehe on this end could hear the sound of her agitated breaths.

"So it was you! Hehe... no no, younger sister-in-law, you... why would you call me? I’m sorry, I just didn’t recognize your voice, don’t take it the wrong way."

She suddenly became flustered, and from her anxious and cramped tone, Yin Hehe could imagine what she must be like right now through the screen, couldn’t she?

That’s right, ever since Xiahou Yi was no longer around, the Xiaho Family in the capital had become like rats crossing the street.

She guessed that nobody must be visiting their home by now.

On the Jiangbei side, probably in his dying moments, Xiahou Yi had given the family a strict order not to mention this place or a single word about Sheng Siyuan and his wife.

So, now that Yin Hehe had suddenly called, this Mrs. Xiahou the sixth must be feeling both surprise and fright.

"How could that be? It’s me not calling you all often, and I was also in the wrong. Sixth sister-in-law, I called you today to say thanks. My daughter almost had an accident today, but luckily your son Xiaochen saved her."

"Ah?" When she said this, the woman on the phone was suddenly very astonished.

"Xiaochen? How could he save your daughter? Isn’t he supposed to be at school?"

"No, he came to Jiangbei today. Sixth sister-in-law, don’t you and sixth brother scold him. We’ve already heard about his situation at school. That the child thought of coming to Jiangbei to find us at a critical moment actually shows he is brave, and his mind is nimble. This is good, please don’t beat or scold him!"

Yin Hehe, fearing that the couple might get angry after hearing this, hastily praised the child after her explanation.

The sixth Mrs. Xiahou was left speechless.

She must be both shocked and furious!

For years, the family of Xiahou the sixth had maintained a low profile and taught their children to be clever and sensible in order to survive the cutthroat struggles within their family.

But now, this little rascal had just punched a hole in the sky for her.

He had actually gone to Jiangbei!!

Mrs. Xiahou the sixth, recalling the last will she received from the old patriarch three months ago, not only failed to calm her anger but became so pale that she lost all color in her face.

"Younger sister-in-law, I... I really didn’t know he would go look for you. Has he caused trouble for you? Younger sister-in-law, I am so sorry."

She sounded like she was about to cry.

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe hurriedly explained, "No, no, sixth sister-in-law, don’t worry. Actually, there’s something else I didn’t tell you. After hearing about the child’s situation at school, his uncle wanted to let him study in Jiangbei."

"Ah?"

Now the phone was completely silent.

To study in Jiangbei?

Did that not mean that the last instruction left to them by the old patriarch was no longer binding on them?

Because this young uncle, who had never acknowledged his ties to the Xiahou Family, was now, through his actions, telling everyone in the capital that he was standing up for his family’s members...

Mrs. Xiahou the sixth suddenly felt a strong desire to cry.

She thought of the bitterness the Xiahou Family had endured in the city these past three months; it was an unspeakable suffering and a desperate urge to weep.

At the end, Mrs. Xiahou the sixth happily agreed and expressed that they would personally bring their son over when the time came.

Yin Hehe hung up the phone.

As she returned from the balcony, she just saw the boy had finished bathing, and now wearing clean clothes, he stood quietly behind her.

"Xiaochen, you... are you done washing?" Yin Hehe was surprised to find him there, feeling a bit awkward for a moment.

What she had just discussed with his mother hadn’t been previously agreed upon with the boy.

"Xiaochen, about what your aunt said to your mom just now, I’m sorry, I didn’t ask for your opinion. But actually, your uncle mentioned it to me last night. He was planning to wait until after the wedding was over to fetch you."

Yin Hehe still chose to tell the truth, also wanting to prevent the kid from getting the wrong idea.
