Chapter 053: That’s nothing. I even let him warm my bed!

The long-awaited An'er came. Before Fu Xurong had time to be happy, her face immediately turned cold when she heard that the second brother's family was coming.

Xia Yantai and the second aunt came, thinking that they could get some benefits from Fu Xuerong, and even give Xia Yu'an a warning. After all, they were the real family, and Xia Yu'an was just a daughter-in-law!

Still a powerless little girl.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them could even open their mouths and say just one word, they were countered by Fu Xurong.

"I heard that you two are looking for a good match for your second son, and you don't care much about the concubine that Lan'er found herself. This is very good. I think I have a connection with Yu'an, and I want to be his father."

There are two meanings in this statement. One is to satirize them for not treating the legitimate son well, but caring about the illegitimate son instead. It also mocks Xia Yantai for favoring his concubine and killing his wife, and vents the anger for the third brother.

The second is, I will be your father!

So I offered you tea and drank it for you.

You don't want this son, but I want him!

While speaking, Fu Xuerong was defending her in every way.

Xia Yu'an couldn't help but hold back her laughter. Seeing her father's anxious look on his face for the other party to be adopted, she felt that her father was speaking the truth!

But choking to death is not a life-saving measure! Look at the faces of the Marquis and his wife!

Xia Yu'an couldn't help but look at Xia Silan, who put his hand on Xia Yu'an's forearm to comfort her.

He is here.

With his brother by his side, Xia Yuan feels extremely safe.

After all, Beichen Palace is Fu Xurong's territory, so it is not the second brother's turn to run wild, especially since Xia Yantai brought a concubine with him.

Aunt, after all, she is a concubine and cannot appear in public. Not to mention not serving her tea, even if it is humiliating her face, she dare not be disrespectful.

The reason why he is so arrogant now is only because of the indulgence of Marquis Bei'an.

The second child just likes it, what can we do?

Not only Fu Xurong, no one else could figure this out.

Father Xia Yanheng was sitting next to Fu Xuerong. Xia Yantai couldn't help but want to ask his elder brother for help. However, Xia Yanheng seemed to obey Fu Xuerong's orders.

Where did this second brother of his come from? He even suspected that he was not his biological son!

Why would a man neglect his beautiful wife and instead favor a concubine?

Look at him, he only has one wife, Rongrong!

How wonderful it is to have harmony and monogamy, with husband and wife living in harmony and each other in peace.

Rongrong is so adorable, she is both civil and military, she can go to the battlefield, take care of her family, she has a gentle personality and she is so beautiful.

Xia Yanheng's heart was entirely on Fu Xuerong, and he didn't think about him at all. He didn't understand and looked down on his second brother.

Not wanting to even look at them, Fu Xuerong felt upset and found an excuse to send them away.

Xia Yantai left with his aunt Langxiong. The life of his family was in sharp contrast to that of his eldest brother. The most frustrating thing was that even his wife seemed to be inferior to him.

In terms of conversation, knowledge, and vision... the second aunt has none of those.

Only a pair of eyes flashed with shrewdness.

Moreover, since he married her, she has not brought him honor at all!

Xia Yantai couldn't help but wonder if his original decision was wrong.

But seeing the dependence and obedience in the Second Aunt's eyes, and the way she regarded him as her god, Xia Yantai felt comfortable again. Only with the Second Aunt did he feel that he was a man who stood tall and upright.

She couldn't leave him, Xia Yantai.

And their sons...

Although he is a bastard's son, the love he gives is no less than that of a legitimate son!

The second aunt leaned on Xia Yantai's chest and smiled gently.

Humph, I can’t cure you?

Xia Yantai's weak spot was so easy to grasp. As long as she showed her dependence and admiration, he would be coaxed into submission and would revolve around her and her son!

Although some people are beautiful, they cannot let go of their reserve and pride, which caused Xia Yantai to have a psychological gap. He had no face, felt inferior everywhere, and lost in the house fight. The ending was predictable.

Xuefu, oh Xuefu, I wonder if you understand this in the afterlife?

…

Fu Xuerong was chatting leisurely with Xia Yuan in the yard.

The two of them were walking in the rockery and stone forest, and Xia Yu'an was holding food and occasionally feeding the fish.

"I've been having a lot of dreams lately, and I always see you in them. Now that I see you, I feel at peace."

Very happy.

Hehe, that's right, we are father and son!

It seems that during the days when my father lost his memory, he was always feeling pain for himself subconsciously.

The kitten feels particularly happy!

Fu Xuerong also had a happy look on her face. She had always felt that the palace was lacking something, but when Xia Yu'an arrived, she realized that what was missing was this touch of lively joy.

"Stay in the palace for a few more days." Fu Xurong said, "Don't worry, I won't let those people disturb you."

I'm talking about the people from Bei'an Marquis Mansion!

"Okay, my brother and I will stay here until the New Year." Xia Yu'an smiled and agreed.

Spend more time with dad!

Since traveling through time, the days of seeing dad are numbered, and now they can have a good chat together as a family, including the eldest and second brothers.

The palace is so huge that it is almost a small scenic spot. It would take more than half a day to visit it all.

The two came to a pavilion by the pool and sat down to rest.

The maids followed behind him and stood outside the pavilion at a distance so as not to disturb him.

Gradually, Fu Xurong fell asleep sitting on the railing of the pavilion, leaning on Xia Yu'an's shoulder.

A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the new willow branches that had just sprouted.

Xia Yu'an let his father lean on him and looked at him sideways.

Green water flows in the pond, and feathers and flowers fly in the sky.

The air was filled with the fragrance of lotus.

So it turns out that I was dreaming a lot, but in fact I just didn’t sleep well?

Xia Yu'an couldn't bear to disturb him, so he just bore the weight of his father.

When he was a child... no, when he was just "born", it was his father who took care of him.

In this world, it is time for him to take care of his father.

In the distance, my brother Xia Silan was walking towards here.

A servant came forward and bowed to Xia Yu'an: "Young Master, the Marquis' Mansion... wants you to come over."

"…It was Second Auntie's idea."

"Yes, there is something important to discuss."

This is strange, why did she suddenly look for me?

But it's true. After all, she's married, and it seems a little hard to justify that she hasn't even been to the Marquis's Mansion.

Sooner or later you have to go through this.

"Brother, shall we go?" Xia Yu'an asked.

"Let's go." "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid as long as I have a brother."

No matter what tricks they come up with, just follow it.

Anyway, he is my brother’s relative, so he has the final say.

Xia Yu'an followed behind Xia Silan and smiled slightly.

The two came to the Bei'an Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis's Mansion is very different from the Beichen Palace.

The house was luxuriously decorated, but there were few servants. Xia Yu'an had the impression that the house was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and not as prosperous as his father's.

You can tell what a home is like to some extent.

However, the Marquis' Mansion is not comparable to that of ordinary families.

Actually, the property allocated to their Bei'an Marquisate was quite a lot. Although not as much as the old family, it was more than enough compared to ordinary wealthy families.

This is the wealth of an entire marquisate!

But in fact, many of the Marquis's businesses had gone bankrupt, and the family had long been unable to make ends meet.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and property on paper is still property.

Those fields and shops are real.

Therefore, the second aunt was extremely reluctant to give up power, and even more reluctant to let Xia Silan and Xia Yu'an get even a penny of the family property.

After all, it is the end of the year and it is still a bit cold in winter.

Some new snow had fallen, and Xia Silan carefully put a red fur coat with white edges on Xia Yu'an.

The Second Aunt had been watching at the door of the living room. The prince actually condescended to take care of his male wife. How could this be!

In the Marquis's Mansion, she was the one who put on clothes for the Marquis, worked like a slave, and tried her best to please him, but there was no chance for the Marquis to put clothes on her!

Thinking of this, she felt a little jealous and unbalanced.

Why? They are both wives of noble families, but they have different fates?

The two were brought to the living room by servants. This time, the Second Aunt was much more sensible and her attitude changed. She no longer had that pretentious attitude.

In addition to the Second Aunt and the Marquis, there were several other women in the hall who looked like concubines or relatives of the Second Aunt.

The Second Aunt forced a smile and said earnestly, "My Lord, as a woman, I don't know how to explain, but this country has its own laws and families have their own rules. As a wife, you should abide by the Three Principles and Five Constant Virtues, especially the twins. My Lord is putting clothes on them. Isn't this too much of a favor?"

"She is my legal wife, so naturally I should pamper her."

The Second Aunt's heart was filled with rage. She looked at the other woman's husband, and then at her own... Her teeth were about to break as this was a subtle irony that she was not the principal wife but a concubine.

Moreover, it also shows that he is different from his father and is good to his wife.

Xia Yuan: ...

Auntie, are you okay?

He started to provoke right away.

This is my brother!

Forget about putting clothes on me! That's nothing. I even let him warm my bed!

A big snow leopard, it’s so hot.

But...looking at her expression, she seemed like she was about to break.

Has she never received any mercy from her husband? Forget it, she is so pitiful, just let her go.

After hearing this, Second Aunt Yin Lihua had no choice but to smile. Rules are rules. How can one interfere in other people's bedroom affairs? If one wants to pamper the wife, who has the final say?

The maid took out a pile of land deeds and handed them over. Yin Lihua took them and said slowly and softly, "This is the property of the Marquis's family, the land deeds, the shop..."

"I am just an aunt, and you are the young master. In fact, you are still the head of the family."

"It's just that... you two are newlyweds, young people, so it's inevitable that you're a little impulsive and must be very busy."

What? What are you busy with? This is to imply that you are busy with your bed.

No, no, no, we are not like what you imagine!

The kitten waved his hands hurriedly.

No, but...my brother is full of vigor and vitality, and every morning...when he thinks of something, the little cat's arrogance disappears and he lowers his head in embarrassment.

"That's why no one has been sent to deliver it before." Yin Lihua continued.

"Now that you're here, even though you've been in the palace... your mother still... gives these to you." She said to Xia Yu'an, emphasizing the word "mother".

"The Crown Prince's wife is new and has never experienced this, so... I'll give you a part of it first so you can get familiar with it. There are many industries, so you'd better be careful." When he said this, there was some pride in his eyes.

"If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me."

"Also, the money for the storefront must be deposited into the account every month, and then...it will depend on your report."

[Ah, what is this woman planning? She wants to throw away the rotten stall, right?]

[Humph, giving up power so easily will definitely not be a good thing! ]

[What did she say that she didn’t have time to give it to me… Actually, she didn’t want to give it to me at all! It was Old Master Wang who told me to be the housekeeper, so she agreed to give it to me!]

[I am so anxious that I have no other options. They will definitely give me a bunch of rotten stalls and ask me for money. What should I do?]

The kitten's mind raced.

Xia Silan took Xia Yu'an's hand and lowered his voice: "Agree."

He raised his eyes and looked at Yin Lihua: "Then I'd better obey your command."

"He will sooner or later take charge of the family property of my prince's mansion, and later the entire Beichen industry. Thank you, Second Aunt, just consider it as a training exercise."

"You..." She treated the industry as her treasure, but she was just "practicing" for others!

Keep practicing and see how much you can achieve!

Can he manage your two children who are so stupid and foolish?

If the family is not managed well, the power of being the head of the household will return to her.

Thinking of this, she was no longer angry at being called Second Aunt, and slowly smiled.

After the death of the wife of the Marquis, he had always wanted to make her his second wife, but Old Master Wang had never agreed. But gradually, no one in the family dared to call her aunt, let alone second aunt!

Yin Lihua's face turned green with anger, as this was a constant reminder of her identity.

"Then I'll give it to you." Smiling Tiger stuck out his chin and motioned the maid to follow.

"Yes." The maid respectfully handed all the written deeds and other documents to Xia Yu'an.

Xia Yu’an: Uh, headache.

However, for his brother, he will take good care of it!

We can’t let this nasty aunt make a fool of herself!

Humph, is it harder to do the math than the mechanical axiom in the previous life? He is still very good at it!

"Then let's go." Xia Silan stood up and took Xia Yu'an away without any regrets: "When the time comes, I will have to trouble Auntie to give him all the internal affairs of the mansion."

The second concubine choked again.

She is a legitimate young prince, the legitimate wife of a legitimate son, so she wants the family property, right?... She can ask for the family property openly...

Her aunt has been the housekeeper for so many years, but she gave up her power as soon as she came! So she really became the housekeeper, but she doesn't even want any money, a slave, right?

The Second Aunt was so angry that she had a headache.

"Madam, why bother?" An old maid beside her came over and advised kindly, "These shops are all carefully selected by us. If he fails to make money and loses everything, he will lose face and be regarded as incompetent by the old prince."

"Look at how lazy they look. They must be a newlywed couple who spends all day playing and having fun. How can they care about these things?" The nanny made a face and coaxed the aunt with a few words.

"Hasn't all the power of the head of the family been returned to you?" the nanny continued.

Second Aunt sat back down again, her anger subsided: "You are right."
