Chapter 428 The Return of the War King



"You're not even as good as Xia He? What are you doing standing there?" Su Qi angrily tapped Bai Zhi's forehead with her finger. "Yun Xiayang is right. You're my maid and my female official. How can those relatives from the outer sect compare to you?"

"Xiang He, punish Bai Zhi to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes for an hour." After a pause, he continued, "Give Xia He the golden headpiece I got yesterday."

Xia He suddenly laughed.

"Thank you, ma'am. I have a bigger dowry now."

"Go down." Su Qi waved her hand and sat down in the West Flower Hall to chat with Yun Manyu.

Although Baizhi was punished, she was very happy in her heart.

Xia He smiled and walked out. When she saw Ying Yi coming over, she greeted him. Ying Yi asked her in surprise, "What are you so happy about?"

"My lady has rewarded me with a set of gold headgear, which I can keep as my dowry."

Ying Yi didn't expect Xia He to be so obsessed with money, so his voice softened. "You like gold? I have a lot. I'll give you some."

Xia He was startled, and then her ears turned red. "Who wants your gold? Keep it for marrying a wife." She glared at him and left.

Yingyi scratched his hair and followed.

"Xia He, is there anything to eat?"

"Hungry again?" Xia He slowed down her pace.

Yingyi wasn't hungry, he just wanted to be with her. "Yeah."

"Wait a minute. I'll make you some pancakes."

"Okay." Ying Yi followed Xia He into the kitchen with a sly look on his face.

Su Qi and Yun Manyu talked for a while before Qin Wan came over.

She held Yuebao in her arms, and Chunhe followed behind holding Xibao in her arms.

When they arrived at the West Flower Hall, Yun Manyu took Xibao and sat him on her lap, while Su Qi carried Yuebao over.

Qin Wan saw that Yun Manyu looked a little unnatural, and looked at Su Qi with a questioning look.

Su Qi sighed and said:

"Today, my aunt came to take a concubine for Beiheng. My mother talked to me about this matter, saying that we will have to go through the selection process even when we go to the capital. She wanted me to be aware of this so that I won't become estranged from Beiheng in the future."

Qin Wan frowned and said:

"Wouldn't it be enough if Beiheng only had Qiqi as its queen?"

Yun Manyu was startled when she heard Qin Wan's words, which didn't sound fake. "Is it okay?"

"What's wrong with that? Beiheng is loyal just like his father." Qin Wan thought of the War King who was also loyal.

Yun Manyu was heartbroken.

When Su Jingmo was young, he was out and about a lot. Even though he loved Yun Manyu, it didn't stop him from pretending to be affectionate with others outside.

"Mom, I've told Beiheng. What I want is to be with one person for the rest of my life. If he can't do that, we have to separate."

"Once he reaches that position, he won't be able to control himself."

"To be in that position and still be forced to shove people into the backyard is incompetent."

"I don't think Beiheng will do that. Qiqi, you have to have confidence in him." Qin Wan didn't want any misunderstanding between his son and daughter-in-law.

Yun Manyu was torn. What mother-in-law wouldn't want her son to have more children? "Mother-in-law, don't you want Beiheng to have more children?"

"Do you want to have so many brothers fighting among themselves? Dabao likes power, Erbao likes freedom and money."

As for Yuebao and Xibao, they are still young.

Yun Manyu was relieved, and she also liked that Su Qi could live the life she wanted.

night.

As usual, Qin Wan stayed in Su Qi's yard until Yue Bao and Xi Bao fell asleep before returning.

As I walked into the yard, I noticed someone on the roof looking up.

A familiar figure sat there, staring at Qin Wan motionlessly. The maids around her had already moved away.

The War King fell from the roof.

He reached out and held Qin Wan in his arms.

"Wan'er, I'm back." Thinking of the time Gu Beiheng gave to Zhan Wang, Zhan Wang had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

Qin Wan smelled the dusty smell on Zhan Wang, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged him.

The War King grinned silently.

"I'll have someone cook you something to eat."

"No, I just want to hold you."

"Where is Beiheng?" Qin Wan asked, even wanting to push Zhan Wang away.

Zhan Wang held Qin Wan tighter, unwilling to let go. "Don't move. Bei Heng is still in Dong Qi. This guy won't let me come back, saying I can only leave for ten days."

Qin Wan chuckled, which seemed like Gu Beiheng's style.

"It's time for him to come back and see Qiqi."

The two walked into the house, fingers clasped together, and Chi Feng landed silently in the yard. Chun He had already started the stove in the small kitchen, where Nanny Hua and a cook were cooking.

"Chifeng. Please sit in the small kitchen for a while." Chunhe invited Chifeng in.

Chi Feng nodded and went into the small kitchen, his stomach growling. The cook quickly made a bowl of noodles with chicken broth and fried two eggs.

"Have some noodles first to fill your stomach."

Chi Feng thanked the cook and wolfed down the noodles.

Aunt Hua and the cook had already prepared some delicious dishes and served a bowl of rice.

She heated up two pots of fine wine and said, "Chun He, take this to the house. Let the old lady drink some wine too. She has been having trouble sleeping lately and drinking wine will help her sleep better."

Chunhe wondered why she had never given the old lady wine in the past.

But she didn't have the courage to ask, so she could only obediently call two little girls to send it in together.

Qin Wan saw Chunhe bringing a table of exquisite food and wine, and asked her to go to the next room to make the bed for King Zhan.

"yes."

The War King had a very cold aura, and the maids in the room were trembling with fear.

Qin Wan had no choice but to let everyone leave.

The two sat together. Qin Wan was just watching Zhan Wang eat and drink.

Seeing two wine cups, the War King poured one for Qin Wan. With tenderness in his eyes, he said, "Wan'er, you were quite a drinker back then. Why don't you have a few drinks with me tonight?"

"I haven't drunk for a long time." Qin Wan took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp.

The blush on her slender neck made Zhan Wang's mouth dry, so he poured two more cups of wine. He drank one himself and gave one to Qin Wan.

The two talked about their first meeting and Bei Heng's life on the battlefield. Qin Wan also told the War King about his family's situation and scolded Yun's aunt.

The War King said that when Bei Heng became the emperor in the future, there would only be one woman in his harem. Just like he only had one woman in his heart, no matter how beautiful other women were, they would not catch his eye.

The two of them finished the two pots of wine without realizing it.

Qin Wan's face turned pink and she shook her hand to indicate that she couldn't drink anymore.

She thought about lying down and getting some rest. Her head was pounding and she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Qin Wan stood up and wanted to go back to the room.

Seeing her staggering, the War King hurried forward to support her. Taking in the sweet scent in the air, the War King felt his blood surge. The wonderful feeling from years ago seemed to linger in him...

"Wan'er."

Qin Wan opened her misty eyes and smiled affectionately.

"Do you want to continue drinking?"

"good."

Zhan Wang picked up Qin Wan and kicked open the door. He didn't care that he should live next door.

Outside porch.

Aunt Hua sat on a small stool with a small pot of wine beside her. She squinted her eyes and looked at the soft moonlight. "Oh, I am an old woman who is worried sick."

Chun He couldn't help but blame:

"Mammy. You're going to kill us."

"What are you afraid of? If the old lady continues like this, she will really become old and ugly." Aunt Hua glanced at Chun He, "In my opinion, Ying Er is a good guy. I tell you, Chun He, don't let go when you get the chance."

"Mammy, why are you always so frivolous?" Chunhe stomped her feet in anger.

I heard a sound I shouldn't have heard, so I stood up and walked into the yard.

Aunt Hua stood up and said, "Little girl, why are you running? Ask the kitchen to prepare some water."

"I missed my destined person because I was too serious when I was young. Chunhe, the lady said that all the singles over the age should be kicked out." Aunt Hua knew that Su Qi's original intention was to worry that they would not marry because of her.

Even if someone really doesn't like getting married, they won't really chase anyone away.

However, it seems that these girls and boys all believe that what Su Qi said is true.

Now they are all in my heart.

Chun He's face was as red as a fire, and she ran to the kitchen to boil water. She didn't even call the cook or the little girl, and the words that Aunt Hua said popped up in her mind.

The second film?

Maybe it really is possible.
