Seeing Jian Ning crying, Tian also started crying, but she cried with a smile. As she held Ma Fuan's arm, the edge of the strong woman in her body had been completely hidden. Jian Ning saw the Tian who was full of happiness in Dingxian Village in the past, and she felt relieved.
Over the past two years, it's not that no one has set their sights on Tian. Some people wanted to marry her as their successor and even asked her and Ding Youtian to mediate. Although most of them were from impoverished families, there were also some with good appearances among them. However, Tian rejected them all with a scolding.
Tian was only thinking about Wu Dui. Jian Ning already knew the answer without asking. If she had to choose between Wu Wang's wife and an ordinary woman, Tian would only choose the latter. She was happy for Wu Dui, but also felt a little regretful.
"Captain Wu, Sister Tian, please come to my place after lunch. It's convenient for us to talk there. You can have dinner at my place tonight. I will cook for you myself to welcome my old leader."
Tian loved hearing this. Tears still welled up in her eyes, but a smile blossomed on her face. She let go of Ma Fuan's arm and took Jian Ning's arm instead. "Okay, I'll help you. Just like before, let's cook a delicious meal for your leader together!"
Ma Fuan chuckled twice, propped one hand on his waist, scratched the back of his head with the other, and smacked his lips a few times, saying, "Hey, you know what, coming back here and seeing you guys really feels like coming home. I'm confused. When I was over there, I felt like everything here was a dream, and when I came back here, I felt like it was a dream again. Fortunately, my wife hasn't changed, she's still that familiar face."
He pointed at Tian and grinned again, "But hey, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change it."
"What did you say?" Tian rushed over and patted him twice. "You're so beautiful, you're just thinking about good things. I want you to be yourself again."
"If Captain Wu changes his hairstyle, his original appearance will be almost the same as Brother Ma and his brothers. That's it." Jian Ning said with a smile.
"Go call my son over so I can take a good look at him." Ma Fuan urged Tian, and Jian Ning took over. "The old lady has taken them to Lao Liu's place. Xiaolu has gone to school. It won't be too late to come back and take a look at him in the evening. You'll have something to look at from now on."
"That's right, why are you panicking?" Tian squinted at him and slapped her thigh. "What should we do about this? He's clearly our father, but the scary thing is he can't be called father. Does that mean the child can only call him uncle?"
This was indeed an annoying thing. Ma Fuan scratched his head, paced back and forth for a few steps, and then looked at Jian Ning, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"I do have an idea, but it's not a good one." Jian Ning took a few steps back and glanced out the door. The door was still open, but the house was large, so even if they spoke in a low voice, it wouldn't be heard. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "What I can think of for now is, if Sister Tian gives up her status as Princess Wu, and you two go to Yue Country, to Ah Man?"
"No need." Tian waved her hand, "Why go to Yue Kingdom? Let's just go back to Dingxian Village. Mai's father is gone, and I'll remarry his uncle. No one will complain!" She took Ma Fuan's arm again, "Let's do the same as before. I'll go back to make wine. If you want to be a constable, then you can continue to be a constable. If you don't want to be, I'll support you. There's nothing that can't be lived. As long as you have two hands and work hard, you won't starve to death."
"Oh, go to hell! I'm a grown man, do I need you to support me? I'm more than capable of supporting you, stop talking nonsense!" Ma Fuan slapped her elbow and pulled his arm free. "Get out of my way! I'm talking to Xiao Jian about serious matters, why are you meddling, old woman?"
Tian gouged his eyes out with laughter and actually went away to pour him some tea.
Jian Ning finally understood why Wu Dui fell in love with Tian in the past. He had a strong sense of male chauvinism in his bones, but living in modern times, his upbringing always restrained him, forcing him to restrain himself.
In ancient times, he completely let himself go, and Tian just satisfied his male chauvinism. The two of them were willing to fight and be beaten, and they enjoyed themselves!
Jian Ning thought Tian's suggestion was a good one. It seemed like it wasn't uncommon in the Yan Dynasty for older brothers, regardless of whether they were brothers, to marry their older brothers' wives. But she knew Wu Dui was incredibly ambitious, and wondered if he would be happy with returning to town to be a constable.
She questioned him with her eyes, and he walked back and forth with his hands on his hips. "Okay, no problem. Anywhere is fine as long as I'm a constable. We'll take Xiaolu and Xiaobing back with us. If Xiao Mi and Xiao Douzi want to go back, we can take them too. It's just a pity that the village is missing you and Brother Youtian. Wouldn't it be better if it could be the same as before? Well, let's do this for now. We'll see if Brother Youtian has any good ideas later."
What good tricks could Ding Youtian have? Upon learning that he had returned as Ma Fuan, he looked him up and down before punching him in the chest. "I've met Xiaomai's uncle before. He looks the same, but he's lost his old awkwardness. It's great! I didn't expect Wu Tuan to be back. We brothers can drink and chat together again. Today, I'll play chess with you!"
"Don't think about playing chess for now. Think about whether there is any good way to stay here." Jian Ning asked him to think of a plan. He touched his nose and said, "It's not impossible to stay. Isn't Brother Yifan in the Ministry of War? It's not difficult to find a job, but if the military team wants to stay and gain a foothold, they have to show their true ability. Uncle Ma and Big Brother Ma look very similar. If they keep doing this for a long time, it will arouse suspicion. Just send someone to the countryside to investigate and they will know that Big Brother Ma is just a farmer who can't wield a knife or a stick. If someone takes advantage of the situation and reports it to the emperor, just say that Big Brother Ma faked his death to be crowned king. That would be a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Tian's face turned pale with fear when she heard this. She waved her hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. We can't afford to bring trouble to our entire family. Xiaobing's father..." She pulled Ma Fuan aside and said, "Let's go back to the countryside. I don't want to be that useless princess, okay?"
"Okay, that's it. I'll be satisfied if I can come back to see you and my two sons." Ma Fuan thought about it and felt that what Ding Youtian said was indeed reasonable. There were too many acquaintances in the capital, so it would be better for him to go to the countryside and live in peace and quiet.
When Ma Xiaomai learned that his father had reincarnated through his uncle, he was overjoyed after confirming it again and again. He jumped up and threw himself into Ma Fuan's arms, calling him "Dad" several times in a row, and started to cry.
The next day, Ding Youtian reported to the emperor that Tian wanted to resign and return home. Tian said that she was suffering from a strange disease that even Jian Ning could not cure. She was afraid of dying in the capital and insisted on returning home.
The emperor approved it.
Tian told her four children that she was going to marry their uncle and return home with him. She did not give Xiaolu and Xiaobing the right to choose, and they had to go with them. As for Xiao Mi and Xiao Douzi, Tian let them decide for themselves.
Xiaomi chose to stay, but Ma Xiaodou, knowing that Erniu and Sanniu each had their own lovers, expressed his unhappy decision to go back with them.
A few days later, Ma Fuan and Tian took the three of them on their journey back home.
