Wen You did not hide her thoughts from Qu Tong.
"As long as we get along, it doesn't matter whether we get married or not. If we don't get along, getting married will add the step of divorce, as well as various marital disputes and conflicts."
She had heard this idea before; some women in her time thought the same way.
"Does Chengfeng know? As long as he agrees, there's no problem."
Everyone has their own ideas; as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
Wen You remained silent for a moment.
Qu Tong already knew the answer.
Wen You threw the empty persimmon tray into the trash can, her expression a mixture of melancholy and sarcasm.
Do you know?
“My father, who was a good husband in the eyes of outsiders, has been drinking heavily and beating his wife ever since I refused his help.
"And Wen Qing was also dismissed from his post. After a while, he started to resent his father, had a big fight with him, and ran away from home."
"Also, Father and Wen Qing were fined a lot of points and money. It turned out that Mu Ruyan had spent most of the money. Father was furious and asked her where the money went, but she refused to say. Father then thought that Mu Ruyan had used it to support other men, which is why she dared not say anything. So he punished her even more severely."
"Mu Ruyan secretly came to me wanting that money back, but how could that be possible?"
"I can't be bothered with them. Let them make a scene."
As Wen You spoke about her family, there was little schadenfreude in her eyes; instead, they were filled with coldness. "You see, people change. Do you think Cheng Feng can always like me and never do the same despicable things as my father?"
As Wen You was chatting, she suddenly turned around and stared intently at Qu Tong, which startled Qu Tong.
Some people find healing in their childhood, while others spend their entire lives healing from their childhood.
Wen You's distrust of relationships is greatly influenced by her parents, and she doesn't know whether this cautious self-preservation is good or bad.
Qu Tong was never good at comforting or advising others. After thinking about it seriously, she reluctantly replied, "Then he'll have to spend his whole life proving it."
A smile flickered in Wen You's eyes. "As long as he's willing, I'll play along."
Qu Tong shook her head and said nothing more.
Actually, if you look at it from another perspective, the fact that Wen You dislikes people like her father proves that she will never become like him. If she doesn't like someone anymore, she will leave openly and honestly.
How things ultimately develop depends on how well they work together.
"When are you leaving?" Qu Tong changed the subject.
Wen You checked the time. "Are you going to take me home in an hour?"
"His Highness told me to stay out in the wind, it's so cold outside, he won't let me go out." Qu Tong smiled, "But I can give you something."
With that, Qu Tong stood up and led Wen You outside.
Qu Tong returned to her room, and a dozen minutes later, she gave Wen You a spatial button.
After looking at the contents, Wen You gave Qu Tong a big bear hug, "Tongtong, my darling, I love you to death!"
Qu Tong poked her head out and said, "If you feel guilty, you can give me money."
Wen You casually rubbed Qu Tong's cheek and grinned wickedly, "That thing was eaten by dogs a long time ago."
Ha! Okay!
Qu Tong then took out another spatial button, "This is for Cheng Feng."
She also prepared supplies for Xiong Lie and Wu Yue, as well as for the people of Yuelan Bay to protect her.
Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and this year we have a new little cutie in our family, which will bring us joy.
This was the first time she had prepared New Year's gifts for them, and it didn't matter if they were a little expensive, since she didn't need any of those things anyway.
Wen You was very satisfied, as Cheng Feng's collection was not as extensive as her own.
Sure enough, she was different in Tongtong's heart.
After spending some more time with Qu Tong and playing with the baby, Wen You reluctantly left.
There are many people taking care of the baby, so Qu Tong has an easy time.
Besides the two nannies that the Empress hired for her, Old Man Yuan and Steward Chi both loved children and would often hold them.
The Empress would also bring Nian Nian to Yue Lan Bay from time to time to help her take care of things.
Xiaoxue only slept in the same room with her at night.
However, Xiaoxue drinks formula milk and is taken care of by Si Yuting when she wakes up at night, so she can get a full night's sleep.
She would sometimes help take care of Si Yuting and let him sleep, but only occasionally, and only about one-fifth of the time she spent taking care of him.
Watching Si Yuting skillfully change the baby's diaper, burp the baby, and change the diaper, Qu Tong found it hard to believe that he was the same general who struck fear into the hearts of everyone on the battlefield.
Oh no! He's the Marshal now.
"What are you laughing at?" Si Yuting's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Qu Tong's smile remained unchanged as she looked at him and said, "My husband, you've worked hard."
Si Yuting was stunned for a moment, then gave Qu Tong a gentle smile, held Xiaoxue in one arm, and reached out to pat Qu Tong's head. "I'm not tired at all, I'm very happy. Ali is the one who has worked the hardest, giving birth to such a lovely daughter for me."
Xiaoxue joined in the fun, reaching out her little hand to Qu Tong.
Qu Tong smiled broadly, leaned over, and held Xiao Xue's soft hand to her face.
Xiaoxue touched her mother's face and made a single, indistinct baby murmur, which was extremely cute.
After playing with Xiaoxue for a while, Si Yuting coaxed her to sleep, put her in her crib, and then went back to bed to sleep with Qu Tong.
When Xiaoxue was born, she slept for short periods. Si Yuting would wake up in the middle of the night, and sometimes Qu Tong would also wake up, but she didn't need to open her eyes and would just continue sleeping.
I slept until I naturally woke up, and Si Yuting and the baby were no longer in the room.
A beam of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and fell directly on her face as she sat up.
Qu Tong stretched out her left hand to block.
He squinted and caught a glimpse of something, and his pupils contracted.
This is?
Qu Tong completely flipped her wrist over, palm facing herself.
He stared intently for a while before focusing his mental energy.
The scene in the room changed, and she found herself in a new space that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Looking around at the lush greenery and the soothing wood-based energy in the air, Qu Tong was now certain that her planting space was back!
Why?
Because my strength has increased by one level?
Or is it because of Xiaoxue?
Or is it because of improved genes?
Because of worm essence?
These were the changes she could think of recently; she didn't know what superpower had caused her recovery.
Qu Tong thought of the ring in her mental sea and focused her senses on it.
It was discovered that its energy fluctuations were stronger than before.
A pale golden halo spread outwards, like ripples on water, or like the flowing light she had seen in the Cangling Empire.
However, the light emanating from the Cangling Empire has no energy fluctuations.
When she has time, she might go see Lin Yumo.
Qu Tong was about to check her own space when she heard Si Yuting calling her.
Qu Tong had no choice but to go out first.
With a thought, Qu Tong returned to her room.
Si Yuting sensed the fluctuation of mental energy and took a half step back defensively. Only after seeing that it was Qu Tong did he lower his hand.
"Ah Li, you..."
Si Yuting frowned, looking around at Qu Tong with a puzzled expression. (End of Chapter)
