General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

After leaving the house, Su Xiaoxiao picked up the hot alms bowl on the stone table and left the house with the Grand Empress Dowager.

Su Xiaoxiao walked in front. The Grand Empress Dowager followed wordlessly and didn’t give any orders. Neither did she ask Su Xiaoxiao to send her back to the palace.

Was this not a solution?

Was she going home with her?

This was the Empress Dowager…

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at her.

In the palace, although she did not order people around, she carried her identity as the Empress Dowager and gave off a cold, distant, and high-and-mighty feeling.

It was unknown if she had been too frightened, but her face was slightly pale, making her look weak and pitiful.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Shall I… send you back to the palace now?”

The Empress Dowager fell silent again. Fine, she most likely sneaked out.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask her why she left the palace.

“Let’s go,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

The Grand Empress Dowager looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s back and her eyes flickered. In the end, she followed.

The two of them arrived at a clean small courtyard. Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the courtyard door and said to her, “Go in.”

The Grand Empress Dowager was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao wondered, “What kind of expression is this?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did you think I was sending you back to the palace just now?”

The Grand Empress Dowager nodded slightly.

The Empress Dowager was someone everyone curried favor with in the palace, but if she secretly left the palace, she would be in big trouble.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Sigh, I don’t have a carriage. Won’t we have to walk to the palace? The buns I bought are already cold.”

The three little fellows were still waiting to eat the steaming meat buns.

The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the alms bowl in her arms and was speechless.

Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao asked, “By the way, it’s not good to refer to you as the Grand Empress Dowager outside.”

“Bai.” She paused and said softly, “Bai Xihe.”

Physician Fu had never seen the Grand Empress Dowager.

Su Xiaoxiao told him that this was a patient she had met on the way. As the medical center had yet to open, there was nothing inside, so she could only bring her home for treatment.

Physician Fu did not suspect anything.

The three little ones smelled the fragrance of the meat buns and ran over.

“Mother!”

The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the three children and then at Su Xiaoxiao. She was speechless with shock.

The three of them quickly saw the additional stranger in the house.

The Grand Empress Dowager was too young and did not look like someone in her early thirties at all. No one would doubt that she was 20 years old.

The three of them tilted their heads and sized her up cutely.

Dahu asked, “Mother, is this Aunt?”

“Yes…” Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the Grand Empress Dowager.” Madam Bai. ‘

Dahu said, “Oh, Aunt Bai.”

Su Xiaoxiao marveled at Dahus’ social skills.

The Empress Dowager didn’t put on airs in front of the children. In fact, ever since she left the palace, Su Xiaoxiao realized that she didn’t put on any airs at all.

The three little ones kept calling her Aunt Bai, and the Empress Dowager’s face did not turn red. Neither did her heart beat faster.

Su Xiaoxiao remarked that she didn’t live in the palace for more than ten years for nothing.

“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu.” Su Xiaoxiao introduced the three little ones to the Grand Empress Dowager one by one. Then, she said to the three of them, “Go wash your hands and eat buns.”

“I’ve washed them!” Xiaohu raised his small hand and said.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and placed the alms bowl on the table in the central room.

“Take it yourself.”

The three of them each took a big meat bun.

“Mother will eat too.”

He wanted to feed her the first bite.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I’m not hungry. I’ll eat later. Get one for Aunt Bai and

Grandpa Fu.”

Dahu said, “I’ll take it.” Xiaohu fought for it. “I’ll take it!”

The battle began again.

In the end, Physician Fu and Bai Xihe each obtained two big meat buns. One was from Dahu, and the other was from Xiaohu.

Su Xiaoxiao brought her to her room.

“I’ll cook.”

Bai Xihe said in a daze, “Didn’t you buy buns?”

Su Xiaoxiao assessed that the Grand Empress Dowager didn’t know anything about food.

Su Xiaoxiao to the kitchen.

Bai Xihe sat on the edge of the bed with the meat bun and began to size up the room carefully.

It was not big, but it was clean and tidy. There were not many things that daughters used for home, such as embroidered baskets, embroidered racks, and so on. However, there were many children’s toys.

She looked down at the big meat buns in her hand, picked one up, and took a small bite.

Ever since she entered the palace, she had never eaten anything from the common people.

Creak—

The door was pushed open a small gap and a round head poked in.

“Aunt Bai.”

Bai Xihe looked at the little guy in a daze. “Erhu?”

Erhu was extremely surprised.

It was rare to see an adult who could distinguish them so quickly.

Erhu was here to deliver buns.

He was the most scheming of the three little ones. He did not fight with his brothers and maintained the image of a gentleman. Then, he quietly came over and offered his services.

It couldn’t be helped. Bai Xihe was too beautiful, and the children liked her very much.

Of course, they still liked their mother the most.

Bai Xihe said, “I can’t finish it.”

Erhu said, “You can keep it for tomorrow.”

How dare you let the Empress Dowager eat overnight food? Little fellow, you’re very bold—

Bai Xihe smiled. “Alright, I’ll eat tomorrow.”

Just as Erhu left, Dahu came over.

He was holding a plate in his hand. Seeing the bun in her hand, Dahu instantly knew that Erhu had been here.

He didn’t say anything and just handed the plate to Bai Xihe. “Aunt Bai, you can put the buns on the plate.”

Bai Xihe was worried that she could not finish three big meat buns. She could not help but feel that the little guy in front of him was too considerate.

“Thanks a lot.” She put the buns on the plate.

Dahu placed the plate on the bedside table and climbed into bed. He sat beside her with a serious expression, like a little adult.

“Aunt Bai, where are you from?”

Bai Xihe said, “I’m from Tongzhou.’

“Where’s Tongzhou?” Dahu had never heard of this place.

Bai Xihe looked out of the window. “It’s very, very far away. If you take the carriage and go west, you’ll be there in about two months.”

Dahu nodded seriously. “That’s so far.”

They had only been gone for a month from their hometown.

“How old are you?” Bai Xihe asked.

“Three years old,” Da Hu said.

Bai Xi had limited contact with children, but she felt that other three-year-old children did not seem to be so sensible and obedient.

How could she know that the three little fellows were not even three years old?

Dahu asked, “Aunt Bai, do you have a baby too?”

Su Yuniang had a baby, Little Wu had a younger daughter, and Little Madam Zhao had a son.

Dahu felt that those who were called Auntie all had babies.

Bai Xihe was stumped.

After a moment, she said softly, “I don’t.”

It would never happen in this life.

Dahu thought for a moment and said generously, “1t’s okay. I have two younger brothers. I can give you one.” Bai Xihe was speechless..
