After the Spring Festival, Ah Mu began to accompany his boss on field trips to the countryside, each trip lasting at least five or six days. Being away for so long, Yi Er missed his father very much.
The first thing he said was, "Dad, Dad~"
Ever since he started talking nonsense, Mo'er asked Yi'er to call him uncle every day. Yi'er tried very hard and after calling him mother, he called him grandfather, which made Xiao Zhensheng very happy.
Xiao Zhensheng lifted Yi'er up high and said, "You are worthy of being my grandson, Xiao Zhensheng. Come on, call me grandpa again."
Yier giggled happily, "Grandpa~"
Mo'er was not convinced and worked harder to teach Yi'er to call him uncle. After Mo'er's efforts, Yi'er happily called out "Dou, Doudou" when she saw him.
Mo'er held his forehead and said, "Okay, it's not easy to call me uncle, but I can accept this."
Ever since Yi'er could talk, several families have been happy to teach him how to call people. Yi'er is smart and learns quickly. He can call uncle and uncle clearly. He calls the old marquis "Ceng Zeng" and the old marquis is very happy. He thinks it is very cute when Yi'er calls him "Ceng Zeng".
Time passed quickly, the weather began to warm up, and it was Yier's first birthday. The birthday party was held very grandly.
When a child is celebrating his/her first birthday, what everyone cares about most is what gift the child gets.
Today, Yier was dressed like a New Year picture doll and was brought out by Linlang, attracting the love of many young couples who did not have children yet. They took him over to hug him and share in the joy, hoping to have a big fat boy.
Yier is not shy and smiles no matter who holds him. He is so cute.
After being hugged and receiving many gifts, Yier smiled with his eyes curved. His treasure box was almost full.
Finally, he returned to his mother's arms and was placed in a large winnowing basket. Yi'er saw a circle of objects around him. His mother smiled and said to him, "Yi'er, take whatever you want."
Yier blinked his big eyes, looked at the things around him, and looked at Linlang with excitement in his eyes. Are these all his?
Linlang nodded, and Yier clapped happily. Amu laughed at the side, saying that the brat was just a little money-grubber who liked everything.
Thinking of the past life that Linlang talked about, Amu felt sad. In this life, as long as his son wanted something, he would try his best to satisfy him.
Soon, Amu saw his son pick up a small abacus, play with it in his hands for a while, then threw it away because he found it boring.
Yi'er often saw his mother and Aunt Yu Qian using this thing when they were settling accounts. Every time they used it, they would chant the formula, and he had memorized it. Hey, he knows it, but only his mother and father know it.
Next is a small medicine box. His mother is very capable, but he wants to be the top scholar like his father.
But the sword that his grandfather had given him had so many beautiful gems on it that Yier picked it up and couldn't bear to put it down. Xiao Zhensheng chuckled. He knew his grandson's hobbies too well. If he made such a sword, he would definitely want it. It was a success.
When everyone saw Yier picked up the sword, they thought that both the Duke of Dingguo and the Marquis of Anchang were military generals, so it was normal for their grandchildren to practice martial arts.
Before I could congratulate him, I saw Yier pick up a book, hold it in his arms and start reading. He knew some of the words, which his father had taught him when he was holding him while reading, and he memorized them.
Holding the book and the sword in his hands, Yier lost interest in anything else.
There were constant congratulations at the scene. Yier was going to become a man of both civil and military talents. The old marquis, Xiao Zhensheng and others were so happy that they laughed heartily. They thanked the guests for their congratulations and invited them to go outside for tea, which would start soon.
This time, the eldest prince's consort came personally with gifts for Yi'er's one-year-old celebration, without her usual high-handed attitude. She wanted to repair relations with the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion and get closer to the Marquis of Anchang's Mansion, but unfortunately, the attitudes of both mansions were clear, and they were no more than nodding acquaintances with her.
The eldest princess looked at the lively and lovely Yi'er, and saw the affection between Amu and Linlang, and felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. That peerless young man had grown into a handsome and calm man, married another woman, and had a lovely child.
And she has lived in a daze for so many years.
She had once envisioned a married life, but not with the eldest prince, as she had seen.
The eldest prince's wife's mood continued until she arrived at the eldest prince's mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the eldest prince sitting in the main seat, staring at her with a sinister look on his face.
"Your Highness."
"Are you willing to come back?" the eldest prince asked sarcastically.
The eldest prince's wife frowned, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that? I will be back as soon as the banquet is over."
"What do you mean? It means literally." The eldest prince wiped his nose. Ever since his injuries healed, he has been dependent on certain medicines.
Feeling very bad, the eldest prince stood up and staggered to the eldest prince's wife. Suddenly, he stretched out his hands and tightly strangled the eldest prince's wife's neck, "You went to see your sweetheart, how could you bear to come back?"
The eldest prince's eyes widened, and he exerted force in his hands, "Don't think I don't know. Back then, the person you were interested in was Xiao Yuzhang, and you wanted to marry him. But unfortunately, he didn't like you at all."
The eldest prince's wife was strangled and had difficulty breathing. Her face turned purple. "Your Highness, have you eaten too much? Are you talking nonsense?"
The maids and servants who followed her knelt on the ground. Seeing her young lady about to be strangled to death, the maid rushed forward to help, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is truly devoted to you. Please do not listen to anyone's slander and misunderstand the Crown Princess."
"Old thing, get out of my way." The eldest prince was furious and kicked the old woman away. The old woman vomited blood and fainted.
The eldest princess shed tears, "Mammy~"
"Humph, you're still being stubborn." The eldest prince let go of his hand and knocked the eldest prince's wife to the ground with a slap. Then he took out a pen holder from his arms and thrust it in front of the eldest prince's wife. "You're quite good at hiding it. You've been hiding it for so many years, it's become patinated."
"This is the pen holder Xiao Yuzhang used when he was a child. He drew patterns and carved words on it himself. How come it's here with you?"
The eldest prince grabbed the eldest princess's wife's hair and said, "Bitch, tell me why I am here with you."
The eldest prince's wife looked at the familiar mountain of pens. She was speechless and closed her eyes.
Seeing that the eldest prince's wife didn't say anything and even closed her eyes, the eldest prince's anger reached its peak, "Bitch, I let you cheat, I let you like it, I let you like it."
He grabbed the eldest princess's hair and slammed her head against the floor, again and again. At first, the eldest princess screamed, but gradually the sound became silent.
The floor was shattered into pieces and stained with blood, so that its original color could not be seen. Even more shattered and damaged than the floor was the head of the eldest prince's wife.
The eldest prince clutched a handful of blood-stained hair in his hand and glared fiercely at the trembling maids and servants around him, "Kill them all, kill them all for me."
Soon, the main courtyard turned into a hell on earth, and everyone around the eldest prince's wife became a dead soul under the knife.
The eldest prince slumped into a chair, watching his men clean up the bloodstains. He wasn't afraid; he was tired. He was grounded anyway, unable to go anywhere. He could find a reason to get the eldest prince's wife to burn incense, like a robber being killed during a robbery.
Bitch, I have disliked her for a long time. She is either preaching to me or has a cold face. It turns out that she has someone in her heart.
Xiao Yuzhang, I will not let you go.
