Chapter 612 Preparing for the Wedding

"Maybe she misses home." Xiao Yan said as he looked at the map without raising his head.

"I don't believe it. I'm not a three-year-old child." Erya sat down opposite him and stretched out her hands to cover the map, as if she would be a rogue if he didn't tell her the truth.

Her people clearly said that Wang Changling was screaming and crying in the house, and something must have happened.

Then they hurriedly packed up their things and fled.

"Maybe she is not used to the climate here and has alopecia areata." Xiao Yan said lightly.

Arya reacted for a moment, then clapped her hands and laughed.

"Dad, it's you, it has to be you!"

Doesn't that woman love to show off? With that bald head, how can she show off?

"Now, not only can she not visit my mother, she won't even leave the house anymore."

"Did you handle it well and satisfy the Second Miss?" Xiao Yan teased her.

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Arya said, "I'm so satisfied that I don't even care about your bias."

Xiao Yan felt guilty.

Doesn’t he know whether he is biased or not?

But on the surface, a bowl of water can be kept level.

I really can't control my heart.

"How am I biased?" he said stubbornly, "If I'm really wrong, I can change."

"Stop trying to fool me. You just came back and saw me. How many words did you say? Now your heart is already flying to find Jiaojiao, humph."

"I was anxious to meet her because I was worried she wouldn't be able to handle it."

Erya curled her lips.

"You think too much." Xiao Yan said.

Erya: “…”

Dad, do you know how much of a scumbag you are now?

The kind who still remains stubborn even after being exposed.

"I treat you sisters the same." Xiao Yan said again.

"Okay, it's all the same." Arya rolled her eyes.

Since her father had explained and emphasized several times today, she reluctantly assumed that he really liked her sisters.

"Okay, let's go. I'll go get Xiaoman."

Although her father is "unfair", she is still a very filial daughter.

Before, Xiaoman ran home every day.

He won’t come when Xiao Yan comes back.

Isn't this intentional?

Erya and Yunting thought the same thing about this matter.

——No matter how indifferent Xiao Yan pretended to be, it was impossible for him not to feel bitter in his heart.

As for children, if you spend more time with them, accompany them well, and give them some sweet treats, they will be won over.

"No need." Xiao Yan said, "I'm leaving soon, so don't make him unhappy."

He certainly didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

So Xiaoman's estrangement from him was what he deserved.

They will have many years to spend together in the future, so there is no need to rush.

Xiao Yan knew very well that he was going to the battlefield and should not leave with worries that would affect his condition.

"Dad," Erya's tone softened, not knowing how to comfort him, "It will be fine. My brother is a good..."

"I don't know. Let's not talk about that." Xiao Yan interrupted her, "Zhuozhuo, I have something to ask of you."

"Tell me what you want, please tell me." Erya said, "Do you want to protect my mother and take good care of my brother? I will definitely do that."

These are her responsibilities and she has no choice but to do them.

"No..." Xiao Yan's face flushed slightly, and he found it difficult to speak.

Erya found his reaction amusing.

Could it be that her mother is pregnant?

It’s not that quick to find out.

"Can you, can you lend me some money?" Xiao Yan said with difficulty.

Arya: "...Hahahaha, Dad, I thought it was nothing!"

What is silver?

Erya waved her hand and said, "Just tell me how much you need. If it's not enough, I can ask someone to get some from a nearby shop."

Isn’t the purpose of making money to spend on your family?

Although in Erya's heart, no one can compare with her mother's status.

After mother, father is the most important!

"Ten thousand taels, do you have it?" Xiao Yan said carefully, "I might have to return to Beijing and then slowly pay you back."

He should receive a lot of rewards.

But it’s hard to say.

After all, the war has just subsided, and the people need to focus on recuperating. The treasury is also empty. At that time, a good cook cannot cook without rice, and it is very likely that the rewards will become flashy and empty things.

"How much is it? Ten thousand taels, okay? You don't have to pay it back." Erya said generously.

It’s just ten thousand taels.

"Dad, are you going to give a lot of money and things to your former subordinates when you come back to the northwest?" Erya was curious about where the money went.

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and then said, "No, I want to give your mother a grand wedding."

I owed her for too long.

When he brought it up in the capital before, Lu Qiniang refused, and he didn't insist.

But this is the Northwest.

This is Xiao Yan’s real hometown.

He wanted to marry Lu Qiniang here, in front of all his former subordinates and the people of Changzhou.

It was because he didn't do enough that people like Wang Changling saw an opportunity to take advantage of him.

He wanted to tell the whole world that in this life, there was only Lu Qinniang, and he would be with her forever, no matter what happens.

Erya was excited when she heard this. "Okay. Dad, don't worry and go find Third Sister. Leave the marriage to me!"

How can ten thousand taels of silver be enough?

She wants to spend thirty thousand taels, fifty thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels!

She wanted to make her mother the happiest bride in the world.

"Don't tell your mother yet." Xiao Yan said, "If she knew, she would definitely not agree."

"Dad, don't worry. I'll take care of everything. I'll make sure everything is done properly for you."

"As for silver..."

"It's okay. I'll give it to you. Consider it my gift." Erya said generously, "I'll write to my elder sister and ask her to come."

It just so happened that the Fifth Young Master and Jiang Yi were also coming to pick up Mrs. Du, so they asked the eldest sister to go with them.

"Dad, before you leave, please ask the people at Jinyi Pavilion to measure you and make your wedding dress. No, time is running out. We need to find some embroiderers from the surrounding area... We also need to prepare the bridal sedan and dowry quickly."

It’s definitely too late to make it now.

But if you have money, you can buy it from others at a higher price.

Many families prepare dowries for their daughters in advance, so there is no need to worry about this.

Erya is a decisive person, and now she has begun to quickly plan all the arrangements for getting married.

Others are marrying off their daughters, but she is so awesome that she is marrying off her mother!

When she thought of this, her heart was filled with surges of emotion and she was extremely excited.

Her mother deserves the best in the world.

She must give her mother a huge surprise and an unparalleled wedding.
