The old lady who sat in the middle was not as solemn as before. She turned around and smiled at Xie Yao and Jiang Fu. "It's not winter yet. Why are you sleepy after eating?"
"I'm tired." Xie Yao leaned against Jiang Fu and did not get up. His voice was still soft, which sounded much different from the tone he used with Liu Niang then.
The old lady laughed out loud. She lowered her eyebrows slightly and tugged at Xie Yao's collar. She said to Jiang Fu beside him, "Ah Fu, take him for a walk in the courtyard to digest his food before sleeping. Don't spoil him!"
"If he doesn't listen to you, look for me - I will back you up!"
Xie Yao leaned there and rubbed his face against Jiang Fu's body. "I won't disobey Sister Fu."

After Old Madam Xie and Miss Liu finished speaking, she got up and asked Mrs. Qi to bring her to Xie Cheng.
