Chapter 191 Warm New Year's Eve Dinner

It is still uncertain when Chen Jingyan will go to Mobei after the New Year, but what is certain is that they may have very little time to spend together in the future.

She was a little unhappy, and she was afraid that her bad mood would affect the old lady.

Then he said, "I'll listen to Grandma and go back first. It's just right. I've been disturbing you all this time and you haven't had a good rest."

The old lady said with a smile: "Although there has been a lot of noise these past few days, I am happy in my heart."

"Mother Qiao, I am grateful to you in my heart."

It was a little noisy for Yun Qiao to live here with her children, but it made her feel the happiness of having her children and grandchildren around her, and she was content.

She raised Sanlang, but she was not the one who spoiled her child.

Sanlang was a child who suffered a lot when he was young, whether studying or practicing martial arts.

There is no capable man in the family of Marquis Zhenbei. It is not easy for her, an old woman who lost her husband and son at an early age, to raise her grandson and support Marquis Zhenbei.

At that time, the eldest son wanted to help her share the burden, but the old lady felt that he was not capable enough to take on the title of Marquis of Zhenbei.

Thinking about it now, she was right. She couldn't even rely on the eldest wife's family.

Now they have nothing to do with the Marquisate. The title of Marquis of Zhenbei is handed over to Yun Qiao and Yuan Niang. Even if she passes away, she will have done her duty to the ancestors of the Chen family.

She has a good grandson, a good grandson-in-law, and three grandchildren. Now, what else can she be dissatisfied with?

Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan returned to the East Courtyard.

Then I started preparing the menu for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Chen Yuan asked her maid to tell Yun Qiao that she was not feeling well. Yun Qiao did not go to see her and simply did not set the table for her.

Since you are not feeling well, just lie down in the room.

The New Year's Eve dinner was attended by Yun Qiao, Chen Jingyan's family of five, Li Yuan, Gu Heng, Mai Dong, and the old lady sat in the main seat.

The three younger generations were quiet, unlike their usual noisy self.

Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan's relationship has returned to harmony. Li Yuan was happy to see this. Her relationship with Gu Heng was not as good as that of the princess and the marquis. They would still quarrel, but quarreling was always better than not quarreling.

Li Yuan had no idea what kind of feelings Gu Heng had for her.

However, she is pregnant now, and she just wants the child to be healthy. As for Gu Heng and the love between the couple, she will let it go.

Rest assured and take care of your pregnancy.

Seeing Li Yuan staring at Sanlang and the princess, Gu Heng vaguely sensed something.

He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into Li Yuan's bowl.

"Eat some fish."

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan had a terrible appetite. Not to mention eating fish, even the smell of fish made him feel nauseous.

"Thank you, Master. I really can't eat it..."

Gu Heng: "Why can't you eat it? Didn't you like fish the most before?"

Li Yuan didn't want to explain more.

Yun Qiao watched, picked up a pair of serving chopsticks, and picked up a small meat patty that was fried golden on both sides for Li Yuan.

"Eat some of this. I see you keep picking this up and eating it. You must like it."

Li Yuan had a bright smile on his face.

"The princess is really good to me. She knows what I like to eat, unlike someone else, whose short memory is still stuck in the past."

Gu Heng didn't say anything, but his expression didn't look very good.

The old lady thought they were just joking. Chen Jingyan accompanied his daughter the whole time, occasionally checking to see if Yunqiao's bowl was empty, and then taking some dishes away.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, we gathered together again to drink some scented tea and eat some fruit.

Seeing that it was almost time, the old lady went to rest.

They finally dispersed.

After returning to their respective courtyards, they had to reward the servants. It would be a busy night.

Li Yuan was pregnant. It was freezing cold, and the whole yard was paved with bluestones. The road was slippery, so she didn't dare walk fast. Her maid followed her to support her. Gu Heng stood beside her, and seeing that she walked slowly, he was used to walking fast.

If you want to wait for Li Yuan to catch up, you can only walk and stop.

"If you're anxious to rest, you can go first. I'll walk slowly, which is just right for digesting the food."

Gu Heng didn't move forward, but stopped and waited.

When Li Yuan approached, he asked, "Why did you say that to me when we were eating? You said I didn't remember your preferences, but I remembered that you ate fish, and you were disgusted that I only remembered that you ate fish. When you said that to me in front of Sanlang, couldn't you have given me some consideration?"
