"Don't worry, my lord, I've already had the Zhiyuan Hall where Chongzhi is staying cleaned up."
The discussion then moved on to other matters concerning Xie Zhongzhi.
Lady Hou began to speak with great pride.
She didn't want to talk about this.
Chongzhi specifically instructed this in his letter.
Tell her not to say anything, and that you'll prepare a surprise for the Marquis and the Old Madam.
But she simply couldn't take it anymore.
It has been like this ever since she married into the Marquis's household.
All eyes were on Xie Yanli.
Pay attention to his studies and his achievements.
Now that he's married, he's started paying attention to his wife again.
She and her husband Chongzhi were always invisible in this family and were not valued at all!
Why?! This is unfair!
A dark glint flashed in Lady Hou's eyes.
Chongzhi told her that he now had a powerful backer!
With his return this time, the situation in the Marquis's mansion is about to change!
On the way back to Qinglan Academy.
"Mother," Xie Jue blinked her big eyes and looked up at Qin Jiuwei, "Is Second Uncle coming back?"
His fair face was full of confusion.
"But I've never seen my second uncle before."
Qin Jiuwei knew very little about Xie Zhongzhi's affairs.
In my previous life, I only heard that after Xie Yanli passed away, Xie Zhongzhi inherited the title of Marquis.
As for the rest, I don't know.
For a moment, Qin Jiuwei didn't know how to answer Xie Jue.
Finally, Xie Yanli spoke up to explain.
“Your second uncle joined the army at the age of seventeen and is now twenty-two. He has been away for five years. How old are you now?”
Xie Jue tilted his head and thought for a moment.
Oh right, he wasn't even born when his second uncle left home.
No wonder I didn't know.
After pressing him further, Xie Jue immediately lost his curiosity about Xie Zhongzhi.
He started pestering Qin Jiuwei, asking her what she wanted for breakfast the next day.
Xie Jing, standing to the side, remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever upon hearing the news.
It doesn't matter who comes or who goes.
As long as you don't disturb his life, we'll keep to ourselves.
Xie Jingchun acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
He picked up a tree branch on the road and began practicing his moves as if it were a sword.
Qin Jiuwei's brows furrowed slightly when she saw that the children seemed completely unconcerned.
That's what she actually thought too; she just wanted to live her life well now.
As long as Xie Zhongzhi doesn't provoke them, the Marquis's mansion will continue to be peaceful.
But she couldn't help but recall what Lady Hou had mentioned earlier: Xie Zhongzhi lived in Zhiyuan Hall.
"Without indifference, one cannot clarify his ambition; without tranquility, one cannot achieve his goal."
She is also someone with lofty ambitions.
Moreover, Xie Zhongzhi, as the second son of the Marquis's family, joined the army and went to the border at the age of seventeen.
He's not the kind of spoiled brat who just wants to stay in the shadow of his ancestors.
Qin Jiuwei had a gut feeling.
Xie Zhongzhi is no simple character.
Qinglan Courtyard.
After dinner, the three children went to their respective rooms to do their homework.
Xie Yanli went to handle official business, and Qin Jiuwei also returned to the main house.
She sat down on the soft couch and picked up the half-read book she hadn't finished that afternoon.
Perhaps because she had been standing outside for a while, her lower abdomen started to hurt again for some reason.
Granny Song prepared a hot water bottle for her.
Qin Jiuwei used it to warm her lower abdomen, and then she felt a little better.
The candle makes a slight crackling sound as it burns.
I do not know how long it has been.
A maid lifted the curtain and came in, carrying a wooden tray with a steaming porcelain bowl on it.
"Young Madam, the red date and longan soup is ready."
"I didn't order any soup to be made," Qin Jiuwei said, putting down her book and asking with a puzzled look, "Who did?"
The maid opened her mouth, about to answer.
A deep, pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind, "It was my order."
Qin Jiu turned her eyes slightly and saw Xie Yanli striding towards her, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Shouldn't Xie Yanli usually be in his study handling official business at this time?
Why did you come to the main house?
Xie Yanli took the porcelain bowl from the maid and sat down beside the soft couch.
Seeing Qin Jiuwei's puzzled look, he spoke up to explain.
"I heard that women can drink something to nourish their blood and warm their body when they have their period, so I instructed the kitchen to prepare this red date and longan soup."
Xie Yanli picked up a spoon and stirred it gently. Once the temperature was right, he scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Qin Jiuwei's lips.
"Madam, please have a taste."
Qin Jiu raised her eyes slightly and met Xie Yanli's deep gaze.
Heart can not help but move.
She parted her lips slightly and drank the soup.
The warm, sweet flavor spread in her mouth and slowly flowed into her stomach, giving her a feeling of warmth.
The abdominal pain seemed to have lessened somewhat.
Xiaohe and Granny Song exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.
How many men in the world are willing to stoop down and personally feed their wives soup?
Most of them are just waiting to be served.
This time, Miss really married the right person.
That evening, Xie Yanli stayed in the main house quite naturally.
outside the house.
Three little heads peeked out from Xie Jing's room, staring intently in the direction of the main house.
“Father has been staying in Mother’s room for the past two nights,” Xie Jingchun clicked her tongue and said, “Father has changed.”
Xie Jing said gently, "This is a good thing."
The better the relationship between the father and mother, the more stable their life will be.
Unlike his brothers' relief, Xie Jue felt somewhat regretful.
It seems his wish to sleep with his mother won't be fulfilled anytime soon...
Pity.
Xie Jue pouted in dissatisfaction.
My father is really something; it doesn't matter where he sleeps.
Why do you insist on sharing a bed with your mother?
My father is so big, he must have made my mother very uncomfortable.
He was different; he was so small.
All you need is a small corner on the bed, hehe.
Just as Xie Jue had thought.
Qin Jiuwei did not sleep very comfortably.
Her hand hurts...
Qin Jiuwei stared unfocusedly at the embroidery on the bed curtains.
Xie Yanli can't control himself once he gets close to her.
Next, I asked her to help.
It had been so long, and her hands were aching terribly from exhaustion.
But she could feel the warmth emanating from Xie Yanli's large hand on her lower abdomen.
Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but sigh softly.
That’s all.
She helped him, and he helped her in return.
That's a rough even.
Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Xingjian's wedding preparations are proceeding smoothly.
Although time was a bit rushed.
However, both families were wealthy, with the Shen family having an even deeper and more established history.
If money is no object, things can be done extremely quickly.
Moreover, with guidance from palace matrons, the entire wedding was both glamorous and dignified.
On the day of their wedding, Qin Jiuwei arrived at the Jiang residence early in the morning.
Seeing the beautiful woman dressed up in the mirror, Qin Jiuwei's eyes involuntarily reddened.
In this life, she was able to witness Yunzhu's marriage.
She placed the phoenix-headed gold hairpin, a gift from Gao Xian, into Jiang Yunzhu's hair.
He then praised, "Our Yunzhu is so beautiful."
Jiang Yunzhu was very embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, "Cousin, you're teasing me again."
As the two were chatting and laughing, a maid at the door announced their arrival.
"Lady of the Heir Apparent, Second Miss, the Eldest Princess has arrived."
As soon as she finished speaking, a bright and flamboyant figure walked into the room.
Gao Yunzhi smiled and said in a light, cheerful voice, "I've come to help with the wedding procession too."
She was already showing signs of pregnancy, and Lin Mama was carefully supporting her from the side.
Gao Yunzhi and Jiang Yunzhu were not familiar with each other; in fact, they were complete strangers.
Jiang Yunzhu was naturally aware of this as well.
The eldest princess came here because of her cousin.
The princess herself came to escort the bride, which was a great honor for her.
Jiang Yunzhu's eyes immediately turned red.
"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Cousin."
What has she done to deserve such a wonderful cousin?
So many people are kind to her.
