Chunliu handed over the handkerchief and said with a smile, "Madam, it's good news that the master has sent back a message."
"If the master knew that the lady was so sad and crying, he would definitely be worried about you."
An Li took the handkerchief and wiped her tears. She just missed her husband too much.
She smiled and continued looking down, her slightly frown gradually relaxing.
It turned out that my husband had safely arrived at the border fortress of Moro City.
The Princess of Gaochang was sent back to the Kingdom of Xiqi. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Xiqi had withdrawn its troops, and the King of Gaochang was not dead, but had faked his death.
Several other countries did not withdraw their troops or launch large-scale attacks, but continued to carry out small-scale harassment.
This caused great annoyance to the soldiers at the border!
He also introduced the local customs and interesting things he saw and heard along the way, which made An Li laugh very happily.
He said a lot, and the words on the letter became smaller and smaller.
Even the little one couldn't see clearly, but An Li understood that this was due to her husband's deep longing for her.
In the past, transportation was slow and one could only love one person in a lifetime. This was something that few men in the world could do, but your husband did it.
An Li put the letter away and found a self-portrait of her husband on the back.
Inexplicable sense of joy!
Chun Liu was very curious: "Madam, what did the master say?"
"You'll know when you get married."
An Li smiled but said nothing.
Then she went to the desk, ground ink and picked up the pen to write a reply to her husband.
An Li was halfway through writing when he suddenly joked, "Chun Liu, you and Chun He have been with me for many years. If you find someone who suits your taste, please tell me."
"It doesn't matter if he's a young master from a noble family. Your talents are higher than those of ordinary young ladies from wealthy families. I'll come to your house and propose marriage to you."
She said this to test Chunliu and Fourteenth Uncle's attitude.
What stage has it reached?
During last year's Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's state banquet, the Empress Dowager mentioned it to her and said she was very worried.
He is 31 years old. His peers are already husbands and fathers, but King Xiaoyao is the only one left alone.
There wasn't even a maid to warm the bed.
I even suspected at one point that my fourteenth uncle was having an affair with a man!
Upon hearing this, Chunliu's face turned red.
She remembered what King Xiaoyao had said to her.
But he was extremely clear-headed inside. There was an invisible and intangible boundary between the two of them, which was called status.
She believed that there would be no good outcome between her and King Xiaoyao.
But thinking like this, my heart is in great pain...
"Madam, I haven't found anyone I like yet." Chun Liu said hesitantly.
An Li looked at her and immediately understood what she was thinking.
I was thinking of finding an opportunity to invite my fourteenth uncle into the house and give the two of them a chance to be alone together.
At this moment.
Chunhe knocked on the door and came in.
Chunliu quickly pulled her over and said, "Chunhe, Madam wants to ask if you have found someone you like?"
Chunhe was confused. After he came to his senses, he twisted his hands in embarrassment.
She said shyly, "Madam, this servant is attracted to Master Jiang."
Young Master Jiang is handsome and kind to others, and in her heart he is like the bright moon in the sky.
She thought that Mr. Jiang treated her differently.
He often talked to her about poetry and books, and talked about the past and present. Whenever he received delicacies from his wife, he would save a portion for her.
An Li couldn't help but smile, "Then after this year's Autumn Examination is over, I will ask Master Jiang about it."
"Yes, ma'am."
Chunhe's face was as red as a ripe peach.
Afterwards, An Li calmed down and continued writing.
After writing the letter, she asked her maid to deliver it to the post office, along with the peace sachet and peace locket she had embroidered.
Two days later, the Zhou family took Xiao Qingqing away.
By the way, An Li said hello to Old Lady Zhou and asked Shuangxue and Shuanghua to visit Xiao Qingqing when they missed her.
Old Lady Zhou readily agreed.
Soon, it was July, the hottest month of the year.
Mingxin is already one and a half years old. She no longer staggers when she walks and can sometimes speak complete sentences.
Her eyes were as bright as black grapes, twinkling and extremely soft and cute.
She had two round buns on her head, and she walked unsteadily.
It was such a hot day, An Li asked the servants to bring ice cubes to cool down in the front hall.
There was a bamboo mat on the ground, and Mingxin was rolling on it.
An Li was eating chilled grapes when Uncle Dong came in, sweating profusely.
"Madam, there is news from the palace."
"It is said that the Second Master was involved in the framing of the previous Jiangzhou prefect, the murder of an imperial official, and corruption, and was sentenced to 120 years in prison."
Uncle Dong said excitedly.
When An Li heard this, he was immediately happy. Even after death, his bones would go to jail.
Then he asked the maid to pour Uncle Dong a cup of sour plum soup to relieve the heat.
After Uncle Dong drank it, he felt less hot and continued, "It seems there's more gossip."
"I heard rumors outside that the Second Master and Second Madam are a bit strange and can't be touched for the time being."
An Li nodded. She agreed that her uncle was very wary of evil magic.
"Second uncle has been sentenced to prison, so you have to keep a close eye on Li Yujiao," she ordered.
Ever since Ming Wenyong was captured, An Li had secret guards keep an eye on Ming's residence day and night to prevent her from escaping.
"Ma'am, don't worry, our people are watching you day and night." Uncle Dong said.
An Li drank a sip of sour plum soup and thought of Ming Wenyong being sentenced to prison. The Jiang family who died unjustly would definitely be vindicated and their injustice redressed.
In one month, Jiang Xingzhou will take part in the autumn examination.
So he said, "Uncle Dong, don't spread this matter in the mansion, so as not to delay Master Jiang."
Uncle Dong replied yes.
Just as he finished speaking, a burst of wailing and howling came into the front hall.
An Li frowned, and saw the old lady coming in wearing mourning clothes, looking like she was in mourning.
She asked the servants to stop the old lady. Who was she mourning for with such behavior?
"Princess, I beg you to save Yong'er!"
The old lady suddenly looked extremely old and knelt down in front of An Li.
This was the first time she had ever begged someone so humbly.
[Reject moral kidnapping!]
[Why didn't the old witch ask for help from my uncle?]
Mingxin pouted and looked unhappy as she listened to Chunliu telling stories from a comic book.
Why is it so annoying!
An Li will certainly not be morally kidnapped because she has no morals now.
I just want to throw the old lady away!
He waved his hand, letting the servants leave, and asked impatiently: "What were you doing earlier when the old lady said such things?"
"Don't forget, you are the most partial. You don't love your husband or my child."
"They even spoke harshly to me!"
[That’s right!]
[In the previous life, the entire family died tragically, the third prince seized power and became emperor, and the second branch quickly became the new elite in the capital.]
[This old witch ruthlessly stepped on the bones of my entire family and cursed me so that I can never be reincarnated.]
[Her heart is black, she is so evil!]
Mingxin curled her lips and spat at the old lady.
"That's not the case."
"I once truly loved Qing'er, but Yong'er..." He is her own son!
It was okay for her to be a little partial, and the old lady didn't dare to say the rest.
