In the evening, Zhao Shuhua, who had been staying in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital for a long time, came back for the first time.
As soon as he came back, he hurried to find Tian An and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go to Western Liao with you."
Tian An, who was counting things and checking for missing items, was stunned. He suspected that he had misheard, "What did you say?"
Zhao Shuhua took a deep breath and said solemnly again: "Sister-in-law, I said I want to go to Xiliao with you."
After handing the list to Qing Ning beside her and asking her to continue checking, Tian An pulled Zhao Shuhua aside and said, "You little girl, everyone says that Western Liao is poor and barren, and others can't escape it, but you are so good as to rush there."
Seeing Zhao Shuhua lowering her head and looking like she was listening obediently, Tian An shook his head helplessly, "Tell me! Why do you suddenly want to go to Western Liao?"
"That's right, I just want to travel more while I'm still young!" Zhao Shuhua stammered.
After coming up with this excuse, she spoke more and more fluently, pulling Tian An's sleeve and acting coquettishly, "If I were left alone, I would definitely not dare to go. But my sister-in-law is going! Just take me with you, and I can help you take care of Nanchen and Xiyue on the way!"
Tian An pulled his sleeve out of her hand and said in disbelief, "Do you think I will believe this excuse? Besides, if you go to Western Liao with me, what will happen to your mother?"
Zhao Shuhua scowled and hugged Tian An's arm again. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I've already talked to my mother, and she agreed to go with me. I heard that people in Western Liao particularly like Tianling's embroidery. My mother plans to go and take a look. Maybe she can open a shop there and make some money!"
Hearing that Mrs. Xu had agreed, Tian An stopped trying to persuade her and said, "Then you should prepare yourselves and leave in three days."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will go back and prepare it now. I promise not to waste time."
Watching Zhao Shuhua running and jumping away, Tian An held his forehead and observed a minute of silence for Peng Zhang. It seemed that Fatty Peng was going to chase his wife to the crematorium this time.
As expected, the next morning, the doorman came to report that Peng Zhang wanted to see him. Tian An waved his hand and deliberately asked the doorman to delay for a quarter of an hour before bringing him in.
Looking at the valuable gift he was holding in his hand, Tian An drank his tea calmly.
Peng Zhang felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but glance around the room, as if he was looking for someone.
"Ahem, ahem..." Tian An interrupted his thoughts, put down his teacup, and asked knowingly, "Didn't you, Madam Peng, and Master Peng come to say goodbye to me a few days ago? Why are you here again today? Is there anything else important?"
Compared to the casual and relaxed appearance he showed when he saw me in the past, Peng Zhang looked particularly nervous today.
"I, I, I want to propose to Shuhua, Tian An, for the sake of our friendship, can you please not reject me?" His palms were sweating from nervousness, but fortunately he finally got the words out.
However, Tian An slowly shook his head in the face of Peng Zhang's expectant eyes.
Peng Zhang got nervous and stood up directly. His movements were so big that he even pushed over the chair behind him. But at this moment, he didn't care about the chair or not. He asked Tian An hurriedly, "Why? Don't you know me? I will definitely not let Shuhua down."
Tian An stood up calmly and said, "You want to marry Shuhua, but you don't ask Shuhua and Madam Xu for their opinions, but come to ask me."
Peng Zhang was now in a state of panic, feeling like they were passing the buck. "Shuhua said Zhao Yiming is the one in charge of the family, and her marriage has to be approved by him!"
Do you think he doesn't want to go directly to Madam Xu and Shuhua? This won't work!
Seeing Peng Zhang's anxious look, Tian An suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Then you should go find Zhao Yiming! I can't make the decision!"
Hearing this, Peng Zhang said with a look of "Don't lie to me" "Don't give me that? I don't know you two. I believe you when you say Zhao Yiming can't be your master, but I won't believe you when you say you can't be his master, haha! Beat me to death and I won't believe it."
After that, he put on a pitiful look and said, "Since I gave you a lot of gifts when you got married, please help me this time! As long as you can help me get rid of this worry, I will never go west even if you ask me to go east."
Tian An dismissed this and said, "I have a lot of maids and servants around me, I don't need you."
Peng Zhang choked and almost knelt before Tian An, "I, I beg you, isn't that enough? We are friends, you two can't just focus on your own happiness and family joy while watching me, your brother, being single!"
I thought Tian An would finally give in now that things had come to this, but I didn't expect her to just throw up her hands and say, "But even if I agree, I'm afraid you won't be able to get married!"
Without waiting for Peng Zhang to ask again, Tian An told him directly: "Yesterday Shuhua personally said that she wanted to go to Western Liao with me so that we can see more of the world while we are still young."
"What? Go to Western Liao? You agree?" Upon hearing this, Peng Zhang was completely dumbfounded.
Originally, I wanted to wait for Zhao Yiming to return to Beijing and then let the matchmaker come to propose marriage, but I didn't expect that this guy would not be able to come back.
It would have been fine if Zhao Yiming couldn't come back. After racking his brains, he finally came up with the idea of settling the matter before Tian An went to Western Liao. However, he didn't expect that his wife would run away with them. What should he do?
Looking at Peng Zhang's dejected face, Tian An sighed and decided not to tease him anymore. "Tell me the truth, did you do something to make Shuhua angry? Otherwise, she wouldn't be so eager to go to Xiliao with me at this critical moment."
"What could I have done to make Shuhua angry? I hold her in my hands and love her so much! I, I, could it be that..."
As Peng Zhang was talking, his pupils suddenly dilated as if he suddenly thought of something. He said, "I'll go find Shuhua first..." and hurriedly ran out of the house.
Tian An looked at his flustered back, stroking his chin thoughtfully. After a while, he said to Feng Xue behind him, "Xiao Xue'er, go ask the maidservant next to Shuhua what exactly made Peng Zhang so angry."
Deng Xue was extremely efficient and Tian An knew the reason in just half an hour.
"Miss Shuhua's personal maid said that they saw Master Peng and another young master being escorted in by the girls at the gate of Chunxiang Tower the day before yesterday."
"What? Fatty Peng actually imitated others and visited brothels?" Tian An was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. "No wonder Shuhua chose to leave him behind and go to Western Liao with me. He deserves it. Tell the doorman not to let him in next time he comes."
After calming down, Tian Anzou felt that Peng Zhang was not that kind of person. After all, he was not moved by Jiang Yuanyuan who had come close to him before. There was really no need for him to go to a brothel to find a girl at this time.
"There must be some misunderstanding!"
Tian An thought of Peng Zhang's flustered look at noon, and guessed that he must have gone to Shuhua to explain.
I hope he can successfully persuade the beauty to return home!
