Zheng was Meng Huaiyu's biological mother, the woman from the Meng family whom Meng Yuchuan married in a formal ceremony.
As soon as these words were spoken, the study fell into silence.
Meng Yuchuan was stunned, then reacted with a complicated expression: "Zheng is different, she..."
"Her what?" Xi He had originally felt a bit regretful after asking, but now that he was hesitant to speak, her awkward mood was immediately thrown out of her mind. She stared at him intently and deliberately asked, "Could it be that you and her were deeply in love and you still can't forget her?"
"Of course not!"
Meng Yuchuan refuted without thinking.
Xihe stared at him closely, to see what he could say.
"My dear." Meng Yuchuan tentatively held her hand. Seeing that she did not resist, his expression relaxed. He looked at her seriously and said, "In my heart, Zheng is only Huaiyu's biological mother, but you are different."
A light blush appeared on his handsome face: "You are my wife."
Xihe: ???
Are you kidding me?
Xihe rolled his eyes at him, stood up and walked out: "My Lord, please continue with your work, but don't forget the time." He opened the door and walked out quickly.
The sudden behavior not only stunned Meng Yuchuan, but also filled Gou Zi with confusion.
"Why did you leave so suddenly? Didn't you want to listen to what I said next?"
Xihe hurried all the way, and only slowed down after leaving the study: "Meng Yuchuan's face is full of inside stories, what else do I need to hear?"
Besides, she already got the answer she wanted, so there was no need to ask further.
A question mark slowly appeared on the dog's forehead. What was the inside story? How come it didn't know it?
Seeing its silly look, Xihe laughed, and before it could get angry, he calmly changed the subject: "Look at the sky, how blue..." When he returned to the yard, he saw that the servants had almost cleaned up.
When Ziyun saw her come back, he hurried forward.
As the master and servant were talking, they heard a noise coming from Meng Yuchuan's room.
Turning around, I saw Qingzhu smiling gently but unquestionably as she invited the wet nurse out: "We are here to look after the master, so please don't bother the wet nurse. Please."
The wet nurse was reluctant, but unfortunately Qingzhu was not an easy person to talk to, so she could only turn away embarrassedly.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he met Xihe's surprised eyes. His expression froze, he bent down and hurried out of the yard.
Ziyun's face was full of surprise, but she didn't think about anything else. She just complained to Xihe that the wet nurse relied on the fact that she was selected by the old lady herself, and now she even dared to interfere in the affairs of the young master.
"Fortunately Qingzhu knows the rules." He said finally.
There was a hint of pride in his expression.
Xihe listened with a smile and did not refute.
The servants were busy and soon loaded the things onto the carriage. After the masters finished their lunch, the carriage slowly drove towards the city gate.
As the carriage entered the city, a great deal of noise came over. Meng Huaiyu leaned against the window and looked out with great interest. Passersby on the street saw him and said, "The young master is so handsome, just like the marquis." The praise made the little fellow blush.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion gate, before he had time to report, the old lady hurriedly sent someone to pick up the young master, and only casually greeted his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
Xihe gave Meng Yuchuan a mischievous smile: "It seems that in grandma's heart, you are not as important as Huaiyu."
Meng Yuchuan walked side by side with her: "It's okay, I have my wife and that's enough."
“…”
Xihe glanced around subconsciously, and seeing the maidservant with his head down, he couldn't help but glare at him, signaling him to mind his words and actions.
Meng Yuchuan smiled without saying a word, and reached out from under his sleeve to hold her hand.
Xihe failed to pull him back and glared at him again in anger.
Mrs. Lu didn't say much. She just asked a few questions about their daily life in the villa and then let them go back to rest.
The Peony Garden still looked the same as before. Even though the master was not there, it was still kept clean. As soon as Xihe entered, the maids and servants came up to serve her.
Xihe took a nap and after waking up, he went to the old lady's yard.
While she was sleeping, someone from the old lady's yard came to tell her that they would have dinner there tonight.
When Xihe arrived, Meng Yuchuan also arrived on time. As soon as the two of them entered, Meng Huaiyu ran over and hugged Xihe's thighs: "Mom!"
He turned to look at his father and grinned, "Daddy!"
This intimate look shocked everyone in the yard, and the old lady looked at Xihe inquiringly.
It seemed as if he wanted to study what tricks she had used, but in just a few days, her good grandson called her "mother".
Xihe walked in holding the little guy's hand, saluted the old lady, and then sat down on a chair. The family chatted about family matters. Suddenly, Meng Yuchuan hugged his son and said casually, "Grandma, it's time for Huaiyu to start his education."
Although the old lady doted on her grandson, she did not interfere in such matters and only said, "You can do whatever you want."
After a few more words, the maid came to report, "The dishes are all served," and everyone moved to the dining room.
For the next two days, the mansion was as peaceful as water. Only occasionally did Xihe go to the main courtyard or walk in the garden, and he could always see the resentful look of the wet nurse.
After a few times, even the slow-witted Ziyun realized that the wet nurse's behavior was strange.
On this day, the weather was fine and the little girl was dragged by her father to the front yard for class so that he could no longer bother her. Xihe was in a good mood and prepared to take the maid for a walk in the garden.
The group walked around the brilliantly blooming peony garden and came to the bamboo forest, where they happened to meet a wet nurse carrying cakes.
Ziyun immediately started to mock: "Hey, where did Nanny Lin come back from?"
Over these days, they all knew that the wet nurse brought things to the prince every day, sometimes cakes, sometimes soup. Those who didn't know would think that she was the mistress of the marquis's mansion and the prince's wife.
They were so angry that they almost exploded, and were ready to deal with this bitch.
Don't you consider your own status? A wet nurse who has given birth to a child and breastfed a baby, actually dares to have such thoughts. She is simply asking for death!
Unfortunately, the master told them to leave it alone.
So they could only watch this bitch jumping around in front of them, still using the excuse of being the young master.
The nurse's eyes darkened when she saw them, and she knelt down to salute: "This servant greets the young lady." After a pause, a cloud of light flashed across her face. "This servant just came back from the front yard. A few days ago, this servant heard that the young master wanted to eat osmanthus cake, so I made some on my own initiative."
He lowered his head as he spoke, his words and actions being flawless.
But who doesn’t know that the prince has been in the front yard these past two days, keeping an eye on the young prince all the time?
It's clear that the wet nurse has ulterior motives.
Ziyun was so angry that she was about to rush over to argue, but Xihe stopped her and nodded to the wet nurse: "Well, you are thoughtful. The sun is strong, go back quickly."
The nurse looked up in surprise, then lowered her head: "Yes."
As soon as the person left, Ziyun immediately stamped her feet: "Young Madam, why are you..."
Xihe frowned, and Luwu hurriedly grabbed Ziyun's sleeve, signaling her to speak less. Ziyun could only shut up reluctantly.
The group continued to stroll around the yard. Just as they were about to rest under a flower tree, news came from the front yard. Not long after the wet nurse left the house, Qingzhu hurriedly chased after her with several guards.
Everyone:? ? ?
