Chapter 161: Fooling me? Ignoring the triplets, Qi Bu...
Without caring about the triplets, Qi Buchen couldn't help but go forward when he saw the person.
Both parties approached each other. When Qi Buchen saw Yinzhen's slightly thin cheeks, Yinzhen suddenly stopped and pulled Honghui.
"Stand still, don't come over." Yinzhen stopped her from getting closer.
The tears that had been accumulating in Qi Buchen's eyes immediately fell, and he took two steps forward: "What do you mean?"
Is this because you’re still angry before leaving?
But no matter how angry she is, she can't lose her temper at this time. Doesn't she know how worried she is about them?
Yinzhen said helplessly, "Honghui and I just came out. Although we've bathed and changed clothes, what if we accidentally get something contaminated? You and Hongyu and the others should stay away from us for now. Have someone bring another carriage, and have the servants pick out flowers."
"The mansion has made arrangements. Honghui and I will go back and stay alone in the front yard for a while. We'll see you again when we're sure everything is fine."
What he said made sense. Qi Buchen could tell right from wrong, so he quickly arranged for someone to do it. Then the couple talked about Honghui's acne from a distance of about ten meters.
Honghui also comforted her: "Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. For the next two weeks, I'll run around the yard with you a few times every day."
Seeing that he was indeed in good spirits, despite being a little thinner, Qi Buchen finally felt relieved. Touched but also a little ashamed, he said to Yinzhen, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
Yinzhen gave her a cold look and said, "I'm taking care of my own son. You don't need to thank me."
Qi Buchen shut up. What he said just now had already made Yinzhen angry. If he said any more, he would really be angry.
After watching the father and son get on the carriage, Qi Buchen took the triplets and followed them.
Yinzhen and Honghui lived in the front yard for half a month. From the eighth day, they gradually replaced the servants who had never served in the yard. Seeing that there were no problems with these people, the father and son officially came out to meet Qi Buchen who was looking forward to it.
Qi Buchen hugged Honghui tightly and said, "My dear son, I'm so glad you're okay. Ask mother to see if you've made up for these days."
Since Honghui went to the study, whenever Qi Buchen got close to him in front of the servants when he came back from his day off, he would shyly avoid her. This time, perhaps because he had suffered a punishment, he did not avoid her and let his mother pinch him, but he was still a little shy.
"Mother, not so fast."
Fortunately, someone rescued him quickly.
"Big brother!" After the triplets kissed their father, they ran over to find their eldest brother and said, "Big brother, was that place you and father went to fun? Tell me about it, tell me about it."
Qi Buchen reluctantly let go of his eldest son and let him develop relationships with his younger brothers.
Honghui already understood a lot of things, and he tactfully took his three younger brothers outside to talk. Lanhui and other servants also quietly left.
Only the couple were left in the room, sitting on one side and the other on the other.
Qi Buchen picked at her hands, looked up from time to time, and glanced at the man from the corner of her eye, but unfortunately the man was just sitting there drinking tea calmly, as if she was not there.
In the eighth chapter, Yinzhen was skimming the tea with the lid of the cup. He saw the man's little action out of the corner of his eye and snorted in his heart, "If I don't teach you a lesson this time, I won't be named Aisin Gioro!"
Well, she stood up, great, the first step was successful!
Yinzhen pretended to be natural and slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand.
When Qi Buchen walked in front of Yinzhen hesitantly and hesitantly, he just took back his hand that had put down the tea bowl and gently placed it on the armrest.
He raised his eyelids and looked at her calmly without saying a word.
Qi Buchen twisted the handkerchief in his hand and looked over with trembling eyes: "You... are still angry?"
Isn't this nonsense?
Yinzhen lowered his eyelids and snorted.
Qi Buchen carefully stretched out a finger, tentatively hooked his index finger on the armrest, pinched it and shook it: "Don't be angry."
That’s it?
Yinzhen raised his eyelids slightly, without saying a word, just staring at the two people's hooked fingers.
I've lost some weight, and the veins on the back of my hands are much more obvious than they were a few months ago, and they bulge out when I exert force.
Although he didn't say anything, he didn't shake off her hand. Qi Buchen rolled his eyes and thought that the old moves were still better. Besides, Yinzhen's posture with the middle door wide open was perfect for sitting on.
Qi Buchen took a step forward, turned sideways, and sat on Yinzhen's legs. He put his left hand around his neck, rubbed his forehead against his neck, and said delicately, "I miss you so much~"
Yinzhen was frightened by her sudden attack and leaned back reflexively. After reacting, he resisted the urge to hug her and said in a cold voice, "Really?"
"Yeah~" Qi Buchen had no choice but to continue, tears welling up in his eyes. "In the past few months since I last saw you, I couldn't eat or sleep well. Even though I was covered with a thick blanket, I was shivering with cold. I woke up several times a night, and every time I woke up, I habitually touched your area, but it was only ice cold. Especially during my period, even though I covered my hands and feet with a hot water bottle, they were still cold. Lan Hui and the others didn't dare to close their eyes when they were on guard. They would touch the hot water bottle every once in a while to see if it was time to change it."
Yinzhen almost couldn't help but want to ask those servants about their crimes, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that Fu Jin was using a torture trick, otherwise why would she accuse him of those servants when she was obviously the one who was most reluctant to punish those around her?
"Really?" Yinzhen's tone remained calm.
My goodness, after being isolated for several months, did he even go to some training class for further study? Qi Buchen rubbed his eyes and began to doubt his life.
Qi Buchen rubbed her eyes vigorously and raised her head, her eyes red. "These are all fine. I'm not that weak. It's okay to endure it. But..." She curled her lips and looked like she was about to cry. "...But when you're not around, others come to bully me. A month ago, Master Mingzhu passed away, and the emperor appointed my third brother to go to the memorial service. As you know, this kind of task used to be my eldest brother's. My third brother suddenly received the order. Although he couldn't show his happiness outside because of Master Mingzhu, he talked about you to my third sister-in-law at home. Then my third sister-in-law came to me and said some specious and sarcastic words."
"You left your job to accompany Honghui. I was worried and blamed myself at the time. I couldn't argue with her at all. I could only... could only hide and cry by myself afterwards..." Qi Buchen said guiltily, "Without you, I can't even deal with my third sister-in-law. Am I useless? I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I dragged you down... Woo woo..."
Even without shedding a single tear, Yinzhen's rational mind told him that Fu Jin was still using a self-torture tactic, but his heart softened involuntarily, and he felt a surge of anger towards Yinzhi and his wife. Couldn't these two just live their own lives? Couldn't they just live without being sarcastic and seeking some non-existent sense of superiority?
"Okay, stop pretending to cry. You don't even have tears." He said it with disgust, but his tone softened.
Qi Buchen's mind moved. It worked, but that was the limit of what words could achieve. He hadn't moved his hands yet, so he had to add something else.
"How can you say that to me? I care so much about you." Qi Buchen sat up straight and pushed Yinzhen complainingly, but he didn't know how to use all his strength. Instead of pushing Yinzhen, he fell out.
Yinzhen's hands were quicker than his brain. The moment Qi Buchen leaned outward, he hugged him back and shook his legs to move Qi Buchen inside.
Only after the action was completed did the brain react.
Yinzhen said angrily, "I see you haven't been thinking about me these days, but thinking of these little tricks. Are you trying to play tricks on me?"
"I didn't~" Qi Buchen squeezed out his puppy eyes, innocent and pure, "I was just careless."
Yinzhen pinched her waist and said, "Speak properly."
"You are so mean to me~" Qi Buchen became more and more demanding.
Yinzhen blocked her lips angrily, kissing her until she couldn't breathe, then bit her lips as if to vent his anger and let go: "Can you please talk properly?"
"Can...can..." Qi Buchen panted.
It's strange that when it comes to kissing and breathing, she seems to never be able to beat Yinzhen, and she always loses first.
"Hmph!" Yinzhen snorted coldly, "Don't mess with me."
When she calmed down, Yinzhen glanced at her nonchalantly and said, "Go on."
"Huh?" Qi Buchen was confused.
Yinzhen's face darkened: "Why, are you really planning to use that self-torture trick to fool me?"
Qi Buchen made a bitter face. Well, this guy was becoming increasingly difficult to fool.
With a straight face, she said seriously, "You asked me if I had ever trusted you with all my heart. Of course I did, Yinzhen. The moment I gave myself to you, I trusted you with all my heart; the moment I gave birth to the child, I also trusted you with all my heart; when I faced my father, my mother, and everyone else, I trusted you with all my heart."
"If I didn't believe in you, I wouldn't love you, I wouldn't spend my energy on you, I wouldn't think about how to manage this palace better, I wouldn't bother with business, I wouldn't learn things that I have no interest in, I wouldn't socialize with those princesses and wives, and I wouldn't send lots of good things to the palace for free."
No, I'll stay here.
Yinzhen's expression was moved.
"Of course I also know that I sometimes act too independently. Husband and wife should support and rely on each other. I rely on you less and express it less. It's not wrong for you to feel that way." Qi Buchen said sincerely, "This is something I didn't do well enough. I promise you, I will do my best to correct it. However, the formation of my personality and behavior has a lot to do with my past experiences and life. Once some things are formed, it will be difficult and slow to correct them. So, please be understanding and tolerant, okay?"
Yinzhen's eyes were deep, and his palm stroked her back: "I am very curious about what you experienced in your childhood that led to such a personality."
Qi Buchen pursed his lips and said, "Some things cannot be described specifically. It's more of a mood, an atmosphere, just like living underground for a long time. Even if you haven't experienced anything bad, you will appear gloomy."
"That's the underlying color that won't show up most of the time."
