Chapter 349 Zhao Xuan's Little Thoughts, the Marquis Rejects

Gao Wanxin thought it was just a basket of ordinary fruits and ate some before dinner.

At first she felt a little abdominal discomfort and thought she had eaten something bad. But after she went to the toilet, she felt much lighter.

She was also wondering if the fruit had gone bad and given her diarrhea.

She was just about to tell the maid not to give it to Yier.

Unexpectedly, Yier didn't feel any discomfort after eating it. Instead, he kept saying that he liked it very much, loved it himself, and wanted to give it to his younger brother.

My youngest son is so young, less than half a year old, how can he eat fruit?

"If Yi'er likes to eat it, he can eat it. But his younger brother is still young and can't eat it."

Yier, who is over two years old, can already speak fluently and likes to say that he loves his mother and his younger brother.

The Zhao family mansion is neither small nor large, and you can run into them when walking in the yard. The maid and the old woman with Yi'er will also meet Zhang's people with Yue'er.

Yi'er is older than Yue'er, and because of his seniority, he is very protective of Yue'er.

He would also say that he loved his niece and wanted to give her food.

In fact, the feelings between children are the purest, but every time Zhang’s people see Yier, they will take Yueer away.

When Gao Wanxin heard Yier talking about his little niece, she felt sorry for the child.

But she had no choice. With her current identity...

Some things cannot be said.

But Yier was still allowed to take two fruits to give to his little niece, but Yier asked the maid to deliver it, and the maid came back soon.

Yier went out and was not with Gao Wanxin.

"My lady, it's better not to go to the young lady's courtyard. Before I even entered, the gatekeeper said that we were sending rotten fruit into this courtyard. She said we were unsophisticated and deliberately sending rotten fruit to humiliate others."

Yu'er was so angry.

Gao Wanxin smiled and said, "That's right, the fruit is very good, but people just see it as a fruit at first glance and think it's cheap."

Gao Wanxin smiled, but Yu'er said, "My lady, you look much better, so tender and radiant."

"Really?" She really didn't care.

At this moment, Gao Wanxin set her eyes on the fruits.

Could it be that the gift given by Nian Nian, the daughter of the Chen family in the Marquisate, is a treasure?

It’s really my fault that the adults didn’t tell the truth.

I guess they were afraid that she would feel burdened while eating.

Gao Wanxin asked the maid to prepare dinner and cut the fruits into a platter while waiting for Zhao Xuan to come back.

However, when Zhao Xuan came back, he looked very bad and had no appetite even though he saw the exquisite food on the table. It was only after Gao Wanxin persuaded him several times that Zhao Xuan sat down.

"Sir, no matter what happens, you must never forget to eat."

"These fruits given by the Marquis' Mansion taste surprisingly good. Your Excellency, please try them first."

She didn't know if Zhao Xuan felt uncomfortable after eating like her, or maybe he was fine and it was just her stomach that was uncomfortable, so Gao Wanxin didn't say much.

After eating the fruit, Zhao Xuan was very busy that night.

This made Gao Wanxin feel quite guilty.

"Sir, I really didn't know you would feel so uncomfortable after eating these fruits. I only felt uncomfortable once, but I felt much better afterwards. Yu'er said that my complexion has improved a lot. I thought that if you ate them, you would feel better, but I didn't expect you to be like this..."

Zhao Xuan was not angry.

Instead, he said, "You know what, after eating this fruit, my stomach felt uncomfortable, but after going to the toilet, I felt much better. It felt like all the dirty air in my body was emptied."

"Everyone says this little daughter of the Marquis's Mansion is a disaster, but I think she is a good omen."

Zhao Xuancheng praised Nian Nian a lot.

After eating the basket of fruits, Zhao Xuan's spirit and energy changed a lot.

Gao Wanxin is also in good spirits and looks radiant.

The youngest son grew stronger after drinking her milk.

A few days later, Zhao Xuan personally went to the Marquis' Mansion and gave Nian Nian some small gifts. Children are easy to coax.

Nian Nian was happy when she heard Zhao Xuan praising the delicious fruit she gave her. She then took some more preserved fruit and gave it to Zhao Xuan.

Said it was delicious.

Zhao Xuan naturally believed it.

Zhao Xuan went to the study to find Chen Jingyan. After talking about the things in the court, Zhao Xuan smiled and said that he wanted to marry into the Marquis's family and wanted to have Nian Nian as his daughter-in-law.

Chen Jingyan was so angry that he immediately drove the guest away.

He turned around and went to find Yun Qiao who was playing with the children in the backyard.

I told Yun Qiao about this.

Yun Qiao said with a smile, "Master Zhao was probably just joking, but you took it seriously. How old is our Nian Nian? His Yi'er is only a little over two years old, there's a big age difference."

Chen Jingyan snorted.

"Look, that old man Zhao Xuan married a woman who is almost twenty years younger than him. Who knows, in order to get close to my Nian Nian, he might send his son to propose marriage."

Hearing what the man said, Yun Qiao smiled even more.

"Master Zhao's family is not bad either. They can't be considered as clinging to us."

"What do you mean by that? Are you willing to let Nian Nian marry into the Zhao family? I won't agree to that. Forget it."

Yun Qiao didn't know why Chen Jingyan had such a bad temper.

"Chen Jingyan, your temper is getting worse."

This is different from modern times.

Seeing Yun Qiao's expression change, Chen Jingyan immediately walked to Yun Qiao's side.

"I'm saying all this for the sake of the children. Think about it, the Zhao family compound is such a mess, with this old man and young wife. If Zhao Xuan doesn't live well in his later years, who knows how his two sons will be neglected and ignored."

Chen Jingyan’s analysis is also good.

But Yun Qiao felt that it was too early for him to say these things.

But Chen Jingyan felt that this was not an option. Zhao Xuan's serious expression made him, a father of a daughter, feel a sense of crisis.

"Mother Qiao, we only have one daughter, so naturally we should treat her with utmost care."

"I know some people in the martial arts world, and I want to send Nian Nian to learn some martial arts or some skills that will help me survive."

Yun Qiao also thought of this.

Although Chen Jingyan has trained many deadpools and secret guards for his child, it is not the best method after all. If Nian Nian has the ability to protect herself, she will not have to rely on anyone in the future.

Learning a skill to save your life may not be a bad thing.

But this matter needs to be discussed with Nian Nian, and she should agree to it.

"My Lord, this idea is good, but we need to ask Nian Nian first if she is willing. If she is willing, we can send her to learn the skills for a few years. The child will grow up."

"That's exactly what I mean."

Of course, reducing the chances of Nian Nian appearing in Kyoto will prevent some unreliable people from targeting Nian Nian.

In Chen Jingyan's mind, none of the younger generations in Kyoto City are worthy of his daughter Nian Nian.

In fact, many people would find a good match for their son or daughter among their acquaintances or colleagues and arrange a marriage for them. It was not without reason that Zhao Xuan told him that he wanted to marry into the Chen family of Houfu.

But Chen Jingyan was protective of his daughter and was not very willing to do so.

Yun Qiao didn't think too much about these things, so she couldn't understand his anxiety.

It just so happened that the couple had the same idea, which was to let Nian Nian learn a skill that would be useful in the future.

That night, Yun Qiao told Nian Nian about this matter, but Nian Nian said that she didn't really want to go.

Nian Nian didn't say anything when Chen Jingyan was around. When Chen Jingyan left, only the mother and daughter were left in the room.

Yun Qiao looked at her daughter and asked, "Tell me the truth, why don't you want to learn a skill? Mother and father are doing this for your own good. However, if you don't want to, we won't force you."

Nian Nian whispered, "I'm afraid if I go outside, I'll never see Mom and Dad again."

Yun Qiao didn't quite understand at first, but when she looked at Nian Nian's eyes, she felt that something was different.

"Nianbao, tell your mother the truth. Why do you suddenly say this?"

"Mother, have you forgotten? I'm a small child. I'm with you now, thinking that every day counts. If I leave you and father, and something happens to me outside, I won't be able to see you, my two brothers, and Silang anymore."

"Shiro likes me very much. He will call me sister soon."

Yun Qiao held her daughter in her arms.

"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life. I'll be with you forever. Nian Nian, I want to take you out for a walk and have a look."

After Yun Qiao said this, Nian Nian's eyes obviously lit up.

"Mother, is it true?"

"But what about Daddy, Brother, and Shiro?"

Yun Qiao patted Nian Nian's little head and said, "Let's act first and ask for your permission later. Just agree to go out and learn skills, and mother will go with you. By the time we leave, it will be too late for your father to find out."

Nian Nian said she didn't know how long she could live.

She died at a very young age in her previous lives.

Yun Qiao felt sorry for the child, and she was really worried that something might happen to Nian Nian, so she thought of taking Nian Nian out for a walk and letting her see this beautiful country.

Chen Jingyan naturally couldn't understand her behavior, and Yun Qiao didn't want to explain to Chen Jingyan what happened to Nian Nian.

"Nian Nian, you have the elixir, why can't you help yourself?"

Yun Qiao asked this question with a sigh and helplessness.

Nian Nian didn't say anything, just leaned in Yun Qiao's arms.

"Mother, I have planted some trees in the yard. When Silang grows up, he can pick fruits with his brother."

"Mother, I took some water from the space and dripped it into the well. The water from our well will taste much better."

"Mom, I love you being my mom."

Yun Qiao didn't want to tell Chen Jingyan because Chen Jingyan had been in a daze for several months and had just woken up. Did she still want Chen Jingyan to accompany her to travel?

Furthermore, the reason why Yun Qiao wanted to go out with Nian Nian was because Li Yuan was at home.

Yuanniang is a reliable person, and she has managed the Marquis' Mansion well over the years.

After what she had experienced, Yun Qiao no longer had much desire for power, especially when it came to the comparison between power and her daughter's life, she naturally stood on her daughter's side.

If wealth and power could buy Nian Nian a few more years of life, she would definitely give them all away.

But these are all assumptions.

Nian Nian said that she didn't want to learn any skills and just wanted to stay at home.

In fact, Yun Qiao guessed what Nian Nian was thinking, but she just didn't say it.

This child just doesn't want her mother to be with her alone, after all, her mother has three sons.

Although the brothers are brothers, they are the same age as herself and are just children. Silang is even an even younger child. Nian Nian knows this in her heart.

Yun Qiao sighed.

The next day she went to Chunhui Garden to see Li Yuan.

Her due date has arrived and she is about to give birth.

Yun Qiao couldn't leave for the time being, so she could only wait until Li Yuan gave birth to the child.

But Yunqiao will also try her best to accompany Nian Nian.

Yun Qiao had no intention of caring about the affairs of the court. What she had to do now was to take care of her four children at home. Oh, and there was also Chen Yang. Li Yuan was about to give birth, so Chen Yang simply stayed in the East Courtyard.

In October of the same year, Li Yuan gave birth.

After a night of pain, she gave birth to a daughter the next morning. She was a big fat girl. The midwife weighed her and she weighed 7.62 jins. She was so plump that she was very adorable.

Yun Qiao also worked busy at Chunhui Garden all night.

Only after the child was born did she happily return to the East Courtyard.

Chen Jingyan saw her come back and said a few words, "Did you give birth to the baby? You look so happy. If someone didn't know you, they would think you had another child."

Yun Qiao glared at him and said, "I have a good relationship with Yuanniang, so naturally I care about her. Besides, isn't Yuanniang your cousin too? Look at your face."

"You didn't sleep last night?" Yun Qiao saw that he didn't look very well.

"Zhao Xuan came to me last night and talked about something. Something happened in South City, and I might have to go deal with it."

"What's going on?"

Chen Jingyan asked, "Do you know Su Mo?"

"Su Mo? What happened to her?"

Chen Jingyan followed Yun Qiao to the modern era, and had already confirmed the identity of Su Mo, a woman who also came from the modern era.

Originally, Su Mo followed the emperor. After the emperor passed away, it was Yun Qiao who asked Chen Jingyan for help, allowing Su Mo to get rid of her status as a concubine and leave the palace. Later, she did help Yun Qiao do some things out of gratitude.

But now, no one knows how she got to Nancheng and got to know the Manchu general Xiao Lan.

"She made some weapon blueprints for Xiao Lan. This woman is not simple and her disguise is quite powerful. If I had known that she would help the Man Kingdom now, I should not have helped her out in the first place."

When he said this, Chen Jingyan was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Su Mo is a smart woman and has a lot of modern knowledge. Xiao Lan is very ambitious. If Su Mo really helps him, it will definitely not be good for Nancheng.

He was afraid that Su Mo would cause trouble in Nancheng. After all, Su Mo's identity was too obvious, and it was he who got him out.

Yun Qiao looked at Chen Jingyan and asked, "So, what does the Marquis want to do?"

"It can only be done."

Chen Jingyan looked at Yun Qiao and said, "This is all her own fault. If she had kept a low profile, she would have lived a good life. But she's restless and insisted on going to find Xiao Lan. Who is Xiao Lan? He's from the Manchu country, so he's no ordinary person."

Yun Qiao nodded, "I know, Lord Marquis, please do as you see fit."

"You can't blame anyone else. If you have to blame someone, it's only her own fault."

Yun Qiao didn't expect that Su Mo would go to Nancheng and be with Xiao Lan from Manguo.

Xiao Lan is already married. What is Su Mo trying to achieve by following Xiao Lan?

Chen Jingyan informed Yun Qiao and arranged for people to go to South City to kill Su Mo and leave no one alive.
