Chapter 174 Zhao Xiao and Yan Yan
After the meal, Zhao Xiao, who thought he had escaped a disaster, was dragged into the study by his father.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xiao finally came out of the study.
He went to see his mother first.
The clothes that Xu Chumian had ordered for the girls arrived, and she was picking out a few pieces to send to Yan Yan to wear.
Zhao Xiao stood at the door, looking longingly at his mother. Xu Chumian's heart softened immediately. She waved to him, and Zhao Xiao grinned and ran into his mother's arms.
Xu Chumian held her son and asked, "Did your father scold you?"
Zhao Xiao nodded, "It was my fault, Father is right."
Xu Chumian kissed her son's forehead, and Zhao Xiao's face turned a little red.
Xu Chumian said softly, "You have a servant with you. You are young, and although you can swim, what if the pond is deep or has undercurrents? What will your mother and father do if something happens to you?"
"Adults have adult things to do. Xiaoge, you're still a child. Wait until you grow up and have your own strength before you protect the people you want to protect, okay?"
Zhao Xiao nodded, and even at such a young age, he began to sigh, "But I get really angry when Yan Yan is bullied by those people."
Xu Chumian couldn't help but laugh at her son's words.
She tapped her son's nose, "You, you."
Yan Yan slept in a side room of Heyun Courtyard. A steward from the front courtyard came to report that the young mistress of the Qin family was willing to temporarily place Yan Yan in the care of the Duke's Mansion, and would personally visit to express her gratitude once her matter was resolved.
Zhao Xiao still lives with his parents in Heyun Courtyard.
Zhao Xiao went to sleep first.
After taking a bath, Xu Chumian went to bed. A little while later, Zhao Yu also finished his official business and returned to the room. After he finished taking a bath, the lights in the room were completely turned off.
The couple leaned on each other as they talked.
Xu Chumian leaned against Zhao Yu's chest and sighed softly, "Yan Yan is still so young, and she's already facing this kind of thing."
Let alone the Li family.
The second wife did the same thing before.
If Zhao Yu hadn't exposed the mistress's true colors beforehand, the second branch of the family would probably still be in turmoil. How would the situation that the second aunt and Lingyao faced in their previous life be any different from that of the Li family today?
Zhao Yu closed his eyes and gently patted Xu Chumian's back.
“Li Yang is not a good person, but Imperial Censor Li is an honest official. With Yan Yan’s grandparents backing him up, he is not so bad.”
The identity of the mistress was truly embarrassing. She was Li Yang's childhood sweetheart. The two grew up together. Later, her father was demoted from the capital and imprisoned. Coincidentally, Li Yang was studying abroad at the time, and the two fell in love.
At that time, Li Yang was already married, and he kept this a secret from the young mistress of the Li family for several years.
Now that the matter has been exposed, Yan Yan's mother is deeply shocked and is currently working on divorce proceedings at home.
Xu Chumian was still muttering to herself.
Suddenly Zhao Yu opened his eyes, rolled over and pinned Xu Chumian down, kissing her chattering lips.
When she could breathe again, Xu Chumian gasped for air, "I was talking to you."
Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You said you were tired and had no energy last night, but you look great now."
Xu Chumian quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, saying, "I have no strength left."
Zhao Yu leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Does it still hurt?"
Xu Chumian gave a soft "hmm".
Zhao Yu's erect penis was still pressing against her, and Xu Chumian felt hot all over.
In recent years, Zhao Yu has remained lustful, refusing to let Xu Chumian out of bed until he has exhausted all her strength.
Xu Chumian needs a lot of energy just to deal with him.
Zhao Yu succeeded again tonight, just this once.
Zhao Yu wrapped her shoulders and arms with the blanket, then pulled his wife into his arms. He gazed at Xu Chumian's sleeping face with tenderness in his eyes, as if she were a precious jewel.
The next day, when Xu Chumian woke up, Zhao Yu had already left.
The two little ones also got up early and went to Old Madam Zhao's courtyard together.
My second aunt and second uncle still haven't reconciled. Whenever my second aunt thinks about what happened back then, it feels like there's a fly stuck in her heart.
Now, when I see Yan Yan, I subconsciously put the little girl into the role of Zhao Lingyao.
Seeing Yan Yan really broke my heart.
Madam Zhao sighed softly, "My second son is no good."
Having spent only a short time at the Zhao family's residence, Yan Yan quickly grew to like the people there.
If her mother weren't still at home, Yan Yan would have wanted to take her away from the Li family.
Yan Yan stared blankly at the lake.
Zhao Xiao was fishing when he noticed Yan Yan not moving for a while, so he asked, "Yan Yan, what's wrong?"
Yan Yan wiped away her tears.
I miss my mother.
Last night, Yan Yan cried quietly in her blanket. In the past, her mother would always sleep with her every night.
It's all because of that wicked woman and that wicked father!
From now on, Li Yan will never call that bad man "father" again!
Besides her mother, Yan Yan often spends time with her grandfather, who is a civil official and a master of cursing. Under his influence, Yan Yan learns the principles of life and has also inherited his sharp tongue!
Zhao Xiao put down his fishing rod and took Yan Yan's hand.
"I'll go back to the Li family with you. We'll bring more people with us and bring your mother to live with us!"
"Make your mother divorce your father!"
Zhang, who was not far away, almost wanted to sew her grandson's mouth shut.
He never holds his tongue.
The worries that were previously not directed at Zhao Yu have now all fallen on Zhao Xiao.
Zhao Xiao acted immediately, pulling Yan Yan along as they headed outside, but Madam Zhang quickly stopped them.
Zhao Xiao asked, puzzled, "Grandmother, why won't you let us go?"
Madam Zhang said sternly, "Yan Yan's mother is still busy; it's not your place to make things worse."
Zhao Xiao frowned, "But what if Yan Yan's mother gets bullied?"
Speaking of this, Yan Yan's dark, grape-like eyes welled up with tears.
Zhang: "..."
Madam Zhang wiped away Yan Yan's tears with a handkerchief. "Don't worry, your mother won't let anyone bully you for nothing."
Yan Yan's mother came from the Yu family, the richest family in Daliang. She had been a feisty person since childhood, and no one could get a good deal from her.
Zhao Xiao sighed softly and patted Yan Yan's head.
"Yan Yan, let's wait a little longer then."
Yan Yan had no choice but to nod.
It was almost noon when Xu Chumian asked Xiao Tao to pick up the two boys and take them home for lunch.
In Heyun Courtyard, Xu Chumian watched the two little ones return hand in hand from afar, and her eyelids twitched.
I need to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with my son about the proper conduct between men and women.
On the way back, Yan Yan was comforted by Zhao Xiao and stopped crying. The little girl was holding a flower in her hand when she came to Xu Chumian.
"Auntie, these are the flowers that Yan Yan picked for you."
Xu Chumian smiled and said, "Thank you, Yan Yan, I like it very much."
Zhao Xiao also smiled.
After the three of them finished their meal, the two little ones went for their afternoon nap.
The secret guards that Xu Chumian sent to the Li residence to gather information returned quickly.
It is said that the Yu family has already sent people, and Yan Yan's mother's brother has rushed to the capital. After discussing it, the brother and sister decided to get a divorce, and they are currently having Li Yang sign the divorce papers.
The Li family still wants Yan Yan, but Yan Yan's mother refuses.
Furthermore, Yan Yan is currently in the Duke's mansion, so the Li family doesn't dare to come and demand her back.
Yan Yan's mother had already spread the word, completely exposing Li Yang's actions. She was willing to risk everything to take Yan Yan away.
