The person who helped build the nursing home was an experienced worker named Fan Jian.
Zhen Wanwan handed the drawings to Fan Jian, thinking she would have to talk to him a bit.
Unexpectedly, after reading it, the other party fully understood her needs.
She answered his questions one by one, addressing any points he didn't understand.
The two of them discussed the details of the Happiness Home in just half a day.
With Fan Jian's involvement, the interior design of the Happiness Home has become more in line with the living habits of people in this era.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhen Wanwan was preparing to go find Zhuyuan and then head back.
Unexpectedly, he strolled over slowly.
"My husband! I was just about to go find you!"
Zhen Wanwan ran up to Zhu Yuan with a smile. For some time now, she had always shown a childlike side in front of Zhu Yuan.
Because Zhu Yuan also indulged her and fell for this trick, Zhen Wanwan felt great!
Zhu Yuan looked at his smiling wife running towards him, and the coldness in his eyes melted instantly.
"Don't run so fast, be careful not to fall."
Zhu Yuan quickly took two steps to catch Zhen Wanwan, and A Yue and Fan Jian, who were standing nearby, both turned their attention away.
Minimize your presence and don't be an annoying third wheel.
Zhen Wanwan smiled, then looked at Fan Jian, waved goodbye and said, "Master Fan, I'll leave the matter of the Happiness Home to you. If there are any problems, just have someone send me a message, or you can come to me."
Fan Jian bowed respectfully and replied, "I understand. I will do my best to fulfill my duties and live up to Lady Zhen's trust!"
After saying goodbye to Fan Jian, Zhen Wanwan, Zhu Yuan, and A Yue took a car back home.
While she was busy earlier, she didn't have time to think about anything else. Now that she has some free time, Zhen Wanwan misses her two children at home very much.
Noticing the changes in herself, Zhen Wanwan sighed, "Children really are a mother's greatest concern!"
In her past life, she always thought of herself as a heartless person, and that even after getting married and having children, she could still be herself.
However, after she got married and had children, that sense of self gradually faded away without her realizing it.
She now cherishes her life immensely, fearing that without her, there will be no one to support her two children.
As Zhen Wanwan pondered, her mood suddenly plummeted, and she couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuan sitting next to her.
A man's heart is fickle, especially a man who is rich and powerful.
He felt a sense of novelty towards her at that moment, so he loved and protected her. But as time goes by, it's hard to know if this sincerity will change.
Zhu Yuan was always very sensitive to emotions, and he sensed it the moment Zhen Wanwan felt lost.
He just couldn't understand why his wife, who had been perfectly fine a moment ago, had suddenly become so wary of him.
Noticing Zhen Wanwan's unusual state, Zhu Yuan tightened his grip on their clasped hands.
Ah Yue was already used to this, so she closed her eyes and tried to make herself less noticeable.
Before long, the carriage returned home.
Granny Zhang was guarding the gate of the house. When she saw them return, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhen Wanwan noticed her resentful look and thought to herself, "This is bad. Could it be that she's causing trouble?"
"Granny Zhang, where are the two little ones? Are they asleep?"
Recently, my baby and my sweet baby have been growing a lot. They eat and sleep all day long, and each nap lasts for several hours.
Zhen Wanwan bought them both nourishing pills and mixed them into their daily breast milk.
As a result, both children are bigger and healthier than their peers.
Granny Zhang quickly recounted the events of the day.
"The young master and young lady are both well. They just finished drinking their milk, played for a while, and then fell asleep."
"Today, because you went out, the two young masters couldn't wait for you to return, so they stayed in this courtyard, which was heartbreaking to see."
"The young healer Hua happened to be passing by and happened to run into them. Having nothing else to do, he spent half the day playing with the two young masters. The three of them seemed to be getting along quite well..."
"But in the blink of an eye, that young master Hua was splashed with ink by the young master and hit on the head with a toy by the young lady. Now, the young master Hua is waiting in the courtyard, ready to confront you!"
Zhen Wanwan listened in a daze. When she heard that Guabao and Tianbao were waiting for her all alone in the yard, a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
If she had known this would happen, she definitely would have taken them with her.
When she heard that the two children had injured Dr. Hua again, she frowned slightly.
"Why would Guabao and Tianbao suddenly hit him out of the blue?"
Zhen Wanwan really couldn't understand why Guaibao and Tianbao had been so sensible and well-behaved since they were born.
And she's very polite, always smiling at everyone.
How come this kind of thing happens every few days since Hua Yan came in?
Granny Zhang opened her mouth, wanting to recount what had happened, but Zhu Yuan beat her to it.
"This whole thing was Hua Yan's fault! Gua Bao and Tian Bao were right!"
"Husband?"
Zhen Wanwan looked at Zhu Yuan in surprise. It wasn't that she thought Zhu Yuan was mindless and biased towards his own son and daughter.
She was simply puzzled as to what mistake Hua Yan had made!
If it really was him who bullied Guabao and Tianbao, Zhen Wanwan was determined to get justice for the two little ones.
Even though this person is already injured!
One thing at a time, he did something wrong and deserved to be injured!
Since he dared to bully Guabao and Tianbao, as the mother of the two little ones, she naturally had to stand up for them and couldn't let them be bullied.
A hint of danger flashed in Zhu Yuan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He explained casually, "Hua Yan has a foul mouth. He said that my wife and I don't want our precious baby and sweet baby anymore!"
"ah?"
Zhen Wanwan had already sharpened her knife, and was ready to go find Hua Yan after Zhu Yuan explained the reason.
But this reason was something she never expected.
This is a phrase that all children have heard; she herself had heard it from her relatives when she was young and naive.
Although her parents in her previous life did indeed abandon her, those words were full of malice!
This is nothing more than adults launching a psychological attack on a mentally immature child to satisfy their own perverse pleasures.
Zhen Wanwan gritted her teeth and suddenly felt that Guabao and Tianbao had gone too far.
They should give him a good beating and make him suffer more, since he has such a foul mouth!
"I think Hua Yan's injuries are a bit too light. For this kind of brat, we should be tougher on him."
Zhu Yuan gave a soft "hmm," already plotting a plan to punish Hua Yan in his mind.
Zhen Wanwan never expected that her casual remark would be taken as a royal decree by Zhu Yuan.
Zhang Mama hesitated to speak, wanting to say that Hua Yan's injuries were not light!
The spot where Tianbao hit her happened to be the very spot where Hua Yan had just had her stitches done.
Now that this has happened, Hua Yan is about to start bleeding again.
Thinking of Hua Yan lying alone in the guest room, her wounds still bleeding, Zhang Mama still felt a pang of pity and said.
"My lady, the Divine Physician of Herbs has been in seclusion these past few days practicing medicine, and Little Physician Hua has no one to treat his wounds. Do you think we should hire a doctor for him?"
After hearing this, Zhen Wanwan shook her head firmly: "You said he's a miracle doctor, so how could a miracle doctor not be able to save himself?"
"If he really can't do it, then spread the word throughout every prefecture and city in the Hua Dynasty that Hua Yan's medical skills are not worthy of his title as a divine physician!"
Hua Yan was lying in bed as a patient, but he deliberately did not treat his wounds in order to preserve evidence.
When Zhen Wanwan and her husband return, they'll be able to play the victim!
But then he heard from his servants that they had returned.
Hua Yan endured the pain and came out, clutching his wound.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his men arrived, they heard that this person was trying to trick him!
They actually tried to ruin his reputation!
Hua Yan felt a chill run down his spine. He thought she was just greedy for money, but he never expected her to be so cunning.
Zhu Yuan noticed the commotion in the corner, and a disdainful smirk appeared on his lips.
So what if Hua Yan finds out about their conversation?
This is their territory; crushing Hua Yan would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Zhen Wanwan was unaware that the person in question had overheard the second half of her sentence.
She simply sent some topical wound medicine and hemostatic drugs to Hua Yan.
Then she went to Guabao and Tianbao's room. When Zhuyuan was at home, Guabao and Tianbao slept in the room next to her bedroom.
When Zhu Yuan wasn't home, he slept in the same bed with Zhen Wanwan.
Despite saying that, Zhu Yuan has been going home every night for the past few days, no matter how late it is.
It's been a long time since Guaibao and Tianbao slept with Zhenwanwan.
The two seemed to have gotten used to it, and now they were lying on the same bed, sleeping soundly.
Zhen Wanwan felt very guilty.
"Madam, he's leaving!"
Zhu Yuan walked in from behind. Zhen Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she realized who this "he" was.
Why so suddenly?
Didn't we agree to help them here?
Zhu Yuan pursed his lips and said calmly, "Perhaps it's out of guilt!"
"Guilty?" Zhen Wanwan looked at Zhu Yuan in confusion. Could it be that Hua Yan had done something bad behind their backs?
Zhu Yuan hummed in agreement, his gaze falling on Guai Bao and Tian Bao.
Throughout his life, the person he cared about most was Zhen Wanwan, followed by Guaibao and Tianbao.
Hua Yan might have benefited greatly from working under him, but he would rather not have this person than suffer the injustice to his wife and children.
What Hua Yan said today really hit his sore spot.
Being abandoned by his parents was a painful experience during his unhappy childhood.
Hua Yan bluntly told Guai Bao and Tian Bao that if their parents didn't want them, Zhu Yuan had already decided to kill them.
In the past, Hua Yan would never have been able to leave this door.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan lowered his head slightly, not wanting Zhen Wanwan to see his dark side.
Zhen Wanwan was unaware of the real reason for Hua Yan's departure. She only assumed that he had been getting injured at home recently, which was why he wanted to leave.
"It's already dark. Even if we're going to leave, we should wait until dawn!"
Hua Yan is only a teenager, which would be considered a minor in her time!
Zhen Wanwan immediately gave the order to keep Hua Yan for one more night.
On the other side, Hua Yan waited and waited, but Zhen Wanwan did not come to persuade him.
He suddenly felt a little regretful, wondering if he had been being too dramatic.
Just when he was about to lose face, someone finally came over.
Hua Yan raised his arrogant chin again.
“Go back and tell them that I am determined to leave, and it’s no use for anyone to try to stop me.”
Forced by pride, Hua Yan said something quite defiantly.
However, A-Yue merely glanced at him indifferently and said, "Madam Zhen said it's too late now, you can leave tomorrow!"
After relaying Zhen Wanwan's words, A Yue ignored Hua Yan's bewildered expression and went back on her own.
"Oh! That's not how it is!"
When she came to her senses, Hua Yan excitedly rushed towards A Yue's retreating figure.
Only the quiet corridor answered him.
Zhen Wanwan sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her baby's face.
Looking at the face that was gradually becoming similar to her own, she thought to herself about the continuation of life.
Zhu Yuan gently covered Tian Bao with a blanket.
Looking at Zhen Wanwan's gentle appearance, he felt a little uneasy: "It's getting late, Madam, why don't you come back with me?"
Zhen Wanwan paused, giving Zhu Yuan a deep look.
He was so engrossed in watching that he broke out in a cold sweat and nervously swallowed.
He had a feeling that the lady knew something, otherwise she wouldn't be looking at him like that.
Just as Zhu Yuan was about to ask, Zhen Wanwan sighed, "Let's go! I'm sleepy too!"
The two walked back to the next room together, unusually silent the whole way.
Zhen Wanwan was the same as usual, with no unusual changes.
But Zhuyuan still felt a little uneasy.
Some people will have a sleepless night tonight.
The next day, Zhu Yuan did not go to the yamen to handle his business. As usual, he made breakfast for Zhen Wanwan early in the morning.
As before, Zhen Wanwan acted coquettishly towards Zhu Yuan, which dispelled Zhu Yuan's unease.
Perhaps he's overthinking it.
After breakfast, Zhen Wanwan looked at A Yue and asked, "Has Hua Yan set off yet?"
A-Yue paused, then unconsciously looked at Zhu Yuan. Zhen Wanwan sensed this keenly, but she didn't say a word.
Waiting for Ah Yue's reply, Ah Yue respectfully answered, "They set off half an hour ago; it was Master who saw them off."
Zhen Wanwan hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions.
She said casually, "Has Ma Xiaosi already prepared the sweet potato and potato seeds?"
Ah Yue nodded: "Everything is ready!"
In recent days, due to the decree issued by Chen Yong, many people have gone to the designated barren mountains to reclaim wasteland.
What was once a barren and lifeless wasteland has been transformed into many well-maintained mountainous areas.
Even from a distance, you can still see many people clearing land and weeding on the mountain.
She has reached a cooperation agreement with Chen Yong, who will provide the land and manpower, while she will provide the seeds.
When the harvest is plentiful, half of the tax revenue will be given to her.
Although half may sound like a small amount, the tax revenue here is already quite high, and almost every resident of Guangling County participated in planting sweet potatoes this time.
Little by little, it adds up, and in this way, the amount of grain becomes quite large.
She learned something during her conversation with Zhuyuan.
Although Zhu Yuan controlled Anqing Prefecture, the local officials of each county made the decisions regarding the people's livelihood.
Because they needed to remain hidden, the practice of maintaining a private army could only be carried out in secret.
In terms of money and food, he never borrowed from the government; he earned them all through his own efforts.
