Miss Xi was truly a thoughtful girl, afraid that her mother might overthink things and fall ill again.

"Alright, stop making small talk. I'm not jealous of the liveliness in the backyard; on the contrary, I'm envious and happy about it."

As for your marriage, all I hope for you is a good life, with plenty of food and clothing, and that you won't be mistreated.

There aren't that many awful relatives anymore.

My mother had had enough of the suffering caused by her mother-in-law.

Besides, we also have to consider our own situation.

You said you've been divorced, and although you haven't had a proper wedding night, you've still been married before.

She's already so old, no matter who she marries, no matter how good the family is, she'll just be a second wife.

Remarrying is no easy task; firstly, you'll be at a disadvantage compared to your first wife.

You also have to take care of the deceased's children. If they're filial, that's fine, but the problem is that the children might be wary of their stepmother. There are so many things to deal with; everyone says being a stepmother is difficult.

What if your stepson or stepdaughter falsely accuses you of abusing them?

Do you think your husband's family will believe their own grandchildren, or will they believe you, who arrived later?

Ah, I don't ask you to be rich or powerful; I only hope you can live a peaceful and happy life.

The girl's eyes welled up with tears as her mother spoke.

"Mother, I know. That's why I plan to go and meet potential partners after you turn one month old."

However, Lü Feng seems to have been a bodyguard for the Zhao family before, so he's probably better than me. What if I can't beat him?

Xi Chunhua was delighted.

"You're getting married, not having a martial arts competition. Besides, if he's a grown man willing to beat his wife, then let's get a divorce."

Then go to the Zhao family and ask the old lady for help to beat that kid up.

We have powerful backers.

The girl was amused by her mother.

Lu Feng, who was doing the accounting at the orphanage, kept sneezing.

"What's wrong with me in this hot weather? It couldn't have been from catching a chill last night."

He never imagined that from yesterday to today, someone would keep talking about him and even want to be his wife.

"Huaijing, will you participate in the imperial examination next February?"

If you're going to participate, you should start preparing around that time.

Zhao Qianci was very concerned about this grandson-in-law.

"Well, I still plan to participate, but I'm worried about Qingyi and Liuyue. I don't know whether to bring them along or not."

Wang Huaijing hesitated.

"This is indeed a problem."

Your third sister is currently in the capital. When do you plan to go there? You can ask your third sister to help you settle in some accommodations first.

"At that time, whether you and your husband go with the child, or you go alone, it will be convenient."

Zhao Qian declined.

Wang Huaijing was a little surprised, "Why did Third Sister go to the capital? I didn't hear about it yesterday."

"Didn't you mention it? You probably forgot. Your third sister has been in the capital for several months now. Her godfather is doing business there, and I hear it's quite a large one."

"Let your third sister go over and play. She's bored at home, so she'll just go for a stroll. She's probably having so much fun she doesn't want to leave."

After Zhao Qianci finished speaking, he looked at Xu Dongsheng.

Xu Dongsheng laughed,

"Yan'er really had a lot of fun over there. She said there were lots of delicious food and fun things to do, and that her godfather had even set up some kind of construction team."

The kind specifically built for houses.

The house she lives in was built by her godfather, and it's said to be even better than Qingshan Xiaozhu. The floor is covered with tiles.

If my brother-in-law is going over there, I'll write to Yan'er tonight and ask her to keep an eye out for a house for him.

Wang Huaijing knew of Zhao Han's existence.

However, Zhao Han did not reply to letters for a long time after he left. He was also busy studying and rarely had time to visit his father-in-law's house.

After all, his father-in-law and brothers-in-law all lived in the county town, and it was inconvenient for him, as a son-in-law, to accompany his wife back to her parents' home all the time.

After listening to Xu Dongsheng's words, Wang Huaijing also thought that he should prepare a place to stay in advance so as not to be caught off guard later, especially since he was also thinking about bringing his wife and son.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother-in-law."

Later, I'll give the money I've saved for the house to my brother-in-law, and he can pass it on to my third sister, okay?

Xu Dongsheng shook his head.

"Brother-in-law, there's no need to rush about the money. We can settle it once we find it."

They all grew up in the south, and if they had never traveled far from home, they would never know what snow looks like.

Sure enough, the mere mention of going to the capital sparked another discussion.

The imperial examination in February of the following year will take more than two months to travel to the capital, so it should be calculated as at least three months.

We need to set off no later than October.

However, by then, it will get colder and colder on the road, which will be inconvenient if you are traveling with small children.

If they were to bring Zhao Qingyi and her child along, they would have to set off around the time the baby turned one month old.

This way we can reach the capital before it gets too cold there.

These are all topics of discussion among the men. Ultimately, whether or not they can bring their wives and children out together depends on Zhao Qingyi's attitude.

After all, the journey is not like being at home; hardship and suffering are inevitable.

Zhao Qingyi, in particular, still looks delicate, even though she has some martial arts skills.

But in Wang Huaijing's eyes, his wife was like a flower in a greenhouse, needing to be protected.

When asked why he wanted to take his wife and son with him when he went out, Wang Huaijing explained that he was worried his wife would cry if he left for too long.

Okay, the truth is he can't live without his wife.

Because of Wang Huaijing's plan to go to the capital to take the imperial examination, Huang went to Wangyue Tower again.

There was no other way; my eldest granddaughter and her family had to be safe and secure when they went out. Who could I turn to? I had to turn to Wangyuelou.

When Wang Huaijing went to participate in the imperial examination, his uncle Wang Guangzong naturally went with him.

Regardless of whether I pass the exam, at least I'll gain some exam experience. And what if I do pass?

With my nephew's family and his in-laws arranging accommodations, it would be foolish not to go.

Therefore, Wang Guangzong happily decided to travel with his nephew.

As for his wife and children, Wang Guangzong didn't plan to bring them along.

My own wife is really someone who never leaves the house, she doesn't have the same boldness as my niece-in-law at all.

What should have been a joyous wedding banquet was turned into a travel discussion among these men.

When Zhao Qingyi learned that Wang Huaijing was going out to take an exam and would be taking her and her son with him, she was quite surprised and frowned, thinking for a long time.

"I'd really like to go with you."

"But our little one is so small, around six jin. If he gets a headache or fever on the way, it could be a big problem."

Wang Huaijing was delighted.

"Grandpa said that if we go out, we should find a good doctor to accompany us, prepare some common medicines, and bring a milk-producing goat with us."

Grandma will contact a caravan for us tomorrow, so we won't be afraid of anything on the way.

"How about you come along on this trip with me?"

Wang Huaijing's hopeful eyes made Zhao Qingyi reluctant to refuse, and she finally agreed.

"Alright, but the doctor has to be skilled; it can't just be anyone picked up from some pharmacy."
