Chapter 254: Couple Talks at Night

Seeing that Li Wanqing was very determined, Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law knew that there was no hope for her son Zhou Zhou.

Since there was no hope, Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law did not stay long. After chatting for a while, she said goodbye to Li Wanqing.

However, Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law did not say anything definite. She felt that if Li Wanqing did what she wanted now, she might change her mind after her two sons got married.

Li Wanqing knew what Shopkeeper Liu's eldest daughter-in-law thought, but she didn't say much. Everyone has their own ideas. Shopkeeper Liu's eldest daughter-in-law thought so, and Li Wanqing also insisted on her own idea.

After seeing off Manager Liu's eldest daughter-in-law, Li Wanqing returned to her room and lay down on the bed exhausted.

Aunt Qiu gave Li Wanqing a bowl of brown sugar and egg water with concern and said:

"Madam, please drink and relax. You have just come out of confinement. These two families are too shameless. Our young lady is so young, and she is thinking about those things."

Li Wanqing drank the brown sugar and egg water and felt a little better. Although she had just driven those two families away, she was still angry to see others plotting against her daughter.

Li Wanqing signaled Aunt Qiu to help her sit up, half leaning on the bed.

Li Wanqing sat up straight and calmed down a little before saying to Orange who was waiting beside her:

"Where's Xuexue? Is she awake? If she is, bring her over to me and let me see her."

"I just brought our young lady over to the nurse after she finished feeding me."

Li Wanqing also found a new wet nurse after she gave birth to Xuexue. She didn't know what happened with this pregnancy, but Li Wanqing always felt that she was not as well off as she was with Xuanxuan and Hengheng, so she found a wet nurse.

Juzi quickly brought Xuexue over. Xuexue had just woken up at this time, with her eyes wide open. Her eyes, like black grapes, stared at Li Wanqing, as if she recognized her as her own mother.

Li Wanqing was amused by Xuexue's look as if she was afraid that she would run away. Xuexue was well taken care of during the confinement period, and her little face was round and chubby. Li Wanqing smiled and kissed Xuexue's little fat face.

Aunt Qiu was afraid that Li Wanqing would get tired, so she wanted to take Xuexue and hold her in her arms. But Xuexue only recognized Li Wanqing, and her little hand tightly grasped Li Wanqing's sleeve and refused to let go.

Children don't have much strength, and adults can pull them apart with a little effort. But Li Wanqing couldn't bear to pull Xuexue away, so she said to Aunt Qiu:

"Aunt Qiu, you guys go down first. I'll take care of Xuexue. It's a good opportunity for me, as her mother, to have a nice kiss with Xuexue."

Aunt Qiu and the others bowed and left, leaving the space for Li Wanqing and Xuexue to spend time together.

Li Wanqing patted Xuexue gently, humming an unknown nursery rhyme. After an unknown amount of time, both mother and daughter fell into a deep sleep.

When Gu Yan came back in the evening, this was the scene he saw.

Gu Yan felt his heart sink, and he picked up his little son who was waiting for him to eat at the door.

When Li Wanqing woke up, the food at home was already served, steaming hot, waiting for her to eat.

After Li Wanqing woke up, she sat up from the bed, asked Juzi to take Xuexue down, and told the wet nurse to feed Xuexue some milk after she woke up.

After giving instructions to the wet nurse, Li Wanqing washed her face and sat down at the dining table.

While waiting for Li Wanqing to wake up, Gu Yan also learned what happened today from the servants at home.

But he did not ask Li Wanqing immediately, but said to Li Wanqing:

"Wife, you're awake. I went up the mountain and shot a few pheasants today. I happened to see someone selling fresh lotus leaves on a shoulder pole, so I bought a few and asked them to make lotus leaf chicken. It's still hot from the pan, come and try it."

In Gu Yan's mind, nothing was more important than ensuring his wife had a full meal. As for the bad things that happened in the morning, they would talk about it in detail after the couple finished their meal.

After all, Li Wanqing and Gu Yan are husband and wife, and their ideas coincide with each other.

Li Wanqing thought about what happened that morning. Although she felt a little upset, it wasn't a big deal. She had just finished her confinement, otherwise she would have dealt with Li Yingdi and the others and made them suffer.

Gu Yan looked at his wife eating slowly and thought everything about her was beautiful.

Gu Yan looked at his wife looking at the whole lotus leaf chicken, and seemed to be in a dilemma, not knowing where to start. Gu Yan diligently tore off a chicken leg and put it in Li Wanqing's bowl, saying:

"Come, wife, eat chicken legs."

Hengheng next to him couldn't stand it anymore. His big eyes rolled around and he started to cry out in a baby voice:

"Dad is partial. He only tears the chicken legs for Mom, but not for me and my brother."

Gu Yan put on a serious face and said:

"Our Hengheng is already a little man, right? He doesn't need his parents to pick up chicken legs for him anymore, but he can still pick up some vegetables and serve some rice for him."

It's not that Hengheng is still young. If he were two years older, he wouldn't be fooled by Gu Yan. He immediately straightened his chest, patted his chest, and promised solemnly:

"Hengheng is a little man, I will also tear the chicken legs for my mother."

After saying that, Hengheng tore off a chicken leg from the lotus leaf chicken next to him for Li Wanqing. Xuanxuan next to him was not to be outdone and tore off a chicken wing, saying:

"Xuanxuan, tear the chicken wings for me too."

Li Wanqing looked at the scene in front of her and felt that all the worries of the day had disappeared.

Li Wanqing first looked at Gu Yan with affection, then patted her two sons' heads gently and affectionately, saying:

"Oh, who is so lucky! She has such a considerate and caring husband, and such a sweet and sensible son?"

After saying this, she did not forget her daughter who was still breastfeeding. Looking at the father and son, whose faces had turned red because of her praise, she added:

"Of course, there's also our lovely Xuexue. We're a loving family, aren't we?"

“Yes, yes!”

Hengheng and Xuanxuan answered one after another.

The few of them finished the meal happily, and Xuanxuan went back to the study to review his homework.

Hengheng and Xuexue were also taken away to rest, leaving only the couple.

"Wife, when I come back from the mountain tomorrow afternoon, I'll go back to my hometown."

"Why are you going back home?"

Li Wanqing asked.

"When I came back today, I heard Guangming tell me what happened today. Li Yingdi is a woman, so I won't do anything to her. I'll go and give Gu Bei a beating."

Li Wanqing nodded, quite satisfied with Gu Yan's attitude. It was best if he could be clear-headed.

However, Li Wanqing did not forget about Manager Liu's home and asked:

"Li Yingdi and Gu Bei are easy to deal with, but what about the eldest daughter-in-law of Manager Liu?"
