Chapter 597
Just hearing that made Yunxi's heart skip a beat.
Chen Qiang looked like a lady from a respectable family, but I never expected that she would do such a... violent thing.
How did she manage to travel from Luoyang to Yunnan, a journey separated by vast mountains and rivers?
Chen Qiang was also shaken: "Don't look at me like that. I was out of my mind back then. I wouldn't dare to run away like that again."
Yunxi couldn't help but smile: "And then what happened?"
"Later, Lord Chen and his wife personally chased after the girl to Yunnan, gave her a beating, and then began to discuss marriage."
When the topic came up, Zhong Jie was both amused and exasperated.
After finally finding her daughter, she chased after Chen Qiang and beat her up the moment they met. It was the first time Zhong Jie had ever seen a civil official act so swiftly and decisively.
Because of Lord Chen, Zhong Jie no longer held the prejudice that civil officials were weak and frail.
"Are you already arranging marriage?"
Zhong Jie nodded: "That's right. Your brother and sister-in-law spent some time together and developed feelings for each other, so it was only natural for them to get married."
Yunxi twitched the corners of her mouth: "I really didn't expect that the story between my brother and sister-in-law would be like this."
This is so unexpected.
After recounting how they met, Zhong Jie naturally thought of another matter: "Now that there's no fighting on the border and you've returned to Luoyang, you two should also think about the child."
Chen Qiang blushed: "The child... then let's have it."
Although they lived comfortably on the border, as the saying goes, even generals are not immune to dying on the battlefield. Chen Qiang was ultimately unwilling to let her child be born without a father.
There was simply no plan to have children.
Now that we're back in the capital, it's time to put this matter on the agenda.
Seeing that she did not resist, Zhong Jie nodded and said no more.
Ultimately, this is their private matter; she only needs to mention it briefly.
Zhong Jie turned her gaze to the marriage proposals and suddenly smiled, "Xi'er, you can take a look at these posts when you have nothing to do. Anyway, you and Prince Shen are not even close yet, so it won't hurt to look at them."
Hearing this, Yunxi and Chenqiang couldn't help but look at Chen Nianchu, who was crawling all over the ground.
This is still far from being a done deal!
They've all gone up to the sky.
Zhong Jie didn't care about all that: "You were tricked by the Yun family before, that doesn't count. Now, let's choose again!"
The Huo family has the financial strength to back up such confidence.
Moreover, the current social customs are open-minded, and it is not uncommon for women to remarry. Women like Yunxi, who have given birth to sons, are even more sought after.
Although the child's identity is a bit troublesome, the Huo family is not entirely without ways to cover it up.
Zhong Jie became happier the more she thought about it.
He simply picked out the marriage proposal invitation, shoved it into Yunxi's hand, and then got up and left.
Seeing Yunxi's helpless expression, Chen Qiang couldn't help but chuckle: "I think Mother is right, little sister, you should choose carefully."
Yunxi casually put the invitation aside and retorted without any politeness, "Sister-in-law is still worrying about my affairs. If you and brother don't hurry up, my Nianchu will be able to help you take care of your children."
"You silly girl..."
The two were about the same age and were family, so after a few jokes, they started laughing and joking around.
Outside, separated by a wall, Madam Chen listened to the sounds coming from inside the house, her heart filled with many emotions.
With the Huo family treating Yunxi so well, she can finally rest assured.
Once she finishes her business, she should head back.
