"Father, Mother, would you please come and live with me and Ertai?"
Seeing that no matter what she said, the person refused to stay at her own residence, she took two steps forward and used her charm to win him over.
"You two should come! It's so lonely here in the mansion with Ertai and me. It'll be more lively with you there. And Mother, I want to drink your soup. Why don't you come stay at my place?"
Chen Nian grabbed the Fujin's hand and shook it gently, speaking in a soft, coquettish tone. No one could resist her, and the Fujin's hardened heart immediately softened.
“Niannian, Ertai can make soup, even better than me. If you want some, just have him make it for you. Your mother won’t bother you anymore. If he refuses, just tell me and I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Ertai, listening to his mother's threatening words, felt helpless. He was no longer his mother's child, and he could not feel any maternal love from her.
"No, no, Mother, I just want to drink what you make."
Chen Nian shook his head in refusal and buried his head in his wife's arms.
The princess looked helplessly at her and then at Fu Lun beside her.
She adored Jiaojiao; she simply couldn't resist granting her every request.
"Yes, and Father too, come on, come on, I want to fish with you in the yard, play chess together, and play with crickets together."
Thinking of her father's chess skills, which were comparable to her own, Shen Nian became very interested. She let go of the Fujin and walked to Fu Lun, who was secretly trying to avoid Shen Nian's coquettish advances, and took Fu Lun's hand.
Fu Lun, who had taken care of her since her tour and treated her like his own daughter after they got married, and who even secretly gave her his own money, was also good at acting cute.
Her father and mother passed away early, and she had no parents in her previous life. Fu Lun and his wife truly made her feel like she had a father and mother again.
"Father, please come with us, okay? Father, let's play chess together, and then we'll play against Uncle Emperor together, please, please!"
Chen Nian held onto Fu Lun's hand tightly, swaying it gently, her soft voice softening Fu Lun's once resolute heart.
She can only beat Ama; everyone else is too strong, she can't beat them.
Fu Lun looked at the mischievous look in Chen Nian's eyes, three black lines appearing on his forehead, feeling utterly helpless.
They are the typical pair of players who are both bad at chess but love to play. Only the two of them have equally good chess skills and can enjoy the game to the fullest.
The Fujin and Ertai, watching Fu Lun's expression, couldn't help but laugh.
“Father and Mother, please come. My brother and I have never really experienced what it’s like to have a father and mother. Please come with me to the mansion and let me experience what it’s like to have a father and mother around.”
She continued to act coquettishly.
"Besides, I'm pregnant now, and Ertai, a big, clumsy man, can't possibly take care of her. Why don't you come with us? We're bored staying in the manor alone, so please come along, Mother!"
Chen Nian released Fu Lun's hand and went around to Fu Jin's side, taking Fu Jin's hand and placing it on her slightly protruding belly.
Ertai, who was "clumsy" but whose meticulous care was actually praised by the doctors and physicians: ...
"Is it okay~"
He pondered before delivering the final blow.
As I've said before, no one can resist Shen Nian's coquettishness, let alone the Fu Lun couple who spoil Shen Nian rotten.
In the end, they agreed to Shen Nian's request and the two moved to Shen Nian and Ertai's residence for a while.
Thus began a happy life for the family of four.
Upon hearing that Fu Lun and his wife had moved in, Yongxuan and Qing'er, who lived in the neighboring mansion, couldn't sit still. They hadn't seen each other much for over two years, and they were worried about and missed Shen Nian, so they packed their things and came to the Vice Minister's mansion as well.
Because of their deep affection, and perhaps out of love for their loved ones, the two of them also doted on Qing'er and Yongxuan immensely.
The feeling of having their children around their knees made the Furens feel good.
Hearing about the six people's happy life, the Empress Dowager and Empress Hanxiang couldn't sit still any longer. They all left the palace and came to Chen Nian's residence to stay for a few days.
The emperor was left alone in the palace to struggle, but he would often sneak out to play chess with Chen Nian and Fu Lun.
Every time I win against Chen Nian, I am met with a barrage of glares.
...
As the year draws to a close, Er Kang also gets a holiday and comes back.
"I'm truly sorry for dwelling on what happened back then."
Seeing how much his younger brother spoiled him, even though she was about to become a mother, yet she still acted like a child, Er Kang's gaze softened considerably.
"I have forgiven you."
Looking at the man across from him, who looked much older, he spoke in a gentle yet distant tone.
Let everything fade away with the wind, and let all unpleasant things remain in yesterday.
“You really don’t need to stay on the frontier forever. Come back. Your father and mother miss you too.”
Thinking of the loneliness in the eyes of the Fu couple during every holiday, he pondered and tried to comfort them.
"No, I'm very relieved that you two are taking care of me, Father and Mother."
Er Kang smiled and shook his head, refusing.
He still couldn't let it go.
"I won't be coming back for a while. I'll save my vacation for when you're about to give birth. I'd like to come back for a few days to see the baby, is that okay?"
Er Kang spoke nervously.
"Can."
Chen Nian nodded and agreed.
"Thanks."
Upon receiving Chen Nian's reply, Er Kang visibly became happy.
"Then I'll be going now."
If he stayed any longer, his jealous younger brother would get upset.
"Um."
Shen Nian, knowing Ertai's temperament, nodded.
"Brother, stay."
Just as Erkang was about to step out the door, Ertai's voice came from behind him.
Upon hearing the voice, Erkang turned his head and met Ertai's gaze. They stared at each other for a long time before exchanging only one word.
"good--"
