Chapter 285 Surprise, sister-in-law?
Jiang Youning was shocked when she heard this. She recalled that she saw Du Huilan the day before and didn't find that she was pregnant. How could she have a miscarriage when she returned?
Could she be angry?
Nan Mianmian leaned over to Jiang Youning's ear and said, "Madam, do you know? I heard that Liu Heng got rid of her."
"Ah?" Jiang Youning's eyes widened, more shocked than before, "How could it be Liu Heng? That's his child, how could he bear to give it up?"
Nan Mianmian shrugged, "I don't know, but I heard that Liu Heng treated Du Huilan very well, and he took concubines one after another, favoring concubines over his wife. Du Huilan's life in the Liu family was not easy. Even she is like this, she still looks superior when she goes out. I don't know if she was kicked in the head by a donkey. She could have chosen anyone else, but Liu Heng. You can tell at a glance that he is not a good person."
Nan Mianmian gossiped in a low voice. These were all spread from the Liu family. It is said that good news never goes out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles, which is absolutely true.
Jiang Youning didn't know Liu Heng very well, and thought that the person Du Huilan was so anxious to marry must be someone worthy of trust.
After all, the man Du Huilan wanted to marry was Xie Jing.
As a man, Xie Jing was upright and loyal.
As a minister, he was loyal to his country.
As a husband, he was responsible and devoted to his wife. He was a rare good man.
So Du Huilan's vision was not bad, so why did she marry such a scumbag?
"No matter how bad Du Huilan is, it was Liu Heng who took the initiative to propose to her, and Du Huilan married him with a pure virginity. How could Liu Heng be so vicious?"
"Who knows? But it's Du Huilan's own fault. One should not be too drastic in doing things and leave no way out for oneself."
Nan Mianmian paused here and added: "If she wasn't in a hurry to marry Liu Heng, the whole city wouldn't hate her. The general was fighting for the country, but he thought he was sacrificing his body for the country without knowing it. But she was in a hurry to marry. Who else should we scold?"
"You're right. Evil people will be punished by their own evil. It's all her own fault." Jiang Youning is not that kind. Du Huilan is not a good person, and no one will sympathize with her experience.
"Let's not talk about her. You've been quite free lately."
Nan Mianmian spread her hands. "Just because Du Huilan said there was no wet nurse, Leng Xiao had to find a wet nurse for me. I don't know what to do?"
Jiang Youning couldn't help laughing when she heard it. "I see, you're showing off again."
How good is Leng Xiao to Nan Mianmian?
She was very envious.
Nan Mianmian smiled when she heard it. "No way, the general treats his wife very well."
Marrying Leng Xiao was the best thing she had done in her life.
When she was in danger, Leng Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her. At that moment, there was only Leng Xiao in her heart and eyes, and she never thought of anyone else.
Leng Xiao spoke very little and seemed indifferent, but he was actually quite easy to get along with.
After being rescued, she thought that it would be nice to marry a man like him. That's
why she divorced Xie Jing later, and wanted Xie Jing to help match her with Leng Xiao.
She thought it would take a long time, after all, she was married, and most men would not accept it.
Unexpectedly, he agreed very quickly, which made her so happy that she didn't sleep all night.
"I still have to thank the general for helping me and Leng Xiao."
Jiang Youning recalled that Xie Jing did not hesitate to lie to Leng Xiao in order to divorce Nan Mianmian quickly. Tsk, Xie Jing must be the black-bellied one.
"Do you know why Leng Xiao agreed at the time?"
Nan Mianmian was interested, "I still don't know why Leng Xiao agreed so quickly. Tell me, why did Leng Xiao agree?"
Seeing that she was so curious, Jiang Youning didn't hide it from her.
"At that time, Xie Jing told Leng Xiao that you were saved by Leng Xiao and then held by him. He thought his reputation was ruined and planned to become a monk."
Nan Mianmian was shocked. "Did the general really say that?"
Jiang Youning nodded. "That's what Xie Jing said at that time. I was surprised when Leng Xiao took the initiative to marry you. Do you know what he said? He said, it's a pity for a good girl like you to get married. I am willing to marry Nan Mianmian."
Not only Jiang Youning was surprised, but Nan Mianmian was also surprised. She didn't expect that Leng Xiao took the initiative to propose to marry her and said that she was a good girl and he would rather marry her himself than let her become a monk. She was so
moved that she almost cried.
When Leng Xiao came back at night, Nan Mianmian threw herself into his arms, crying and snotting, which frightened Leng Xiao.
"Mianmian, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Nan Mianmian hugged him and didn't care to talk when she was crying.
Leng Xiao was so anxious that he hugged her into his arms and sat on the couch, while Nan Mianmian sat in his arms, so that he could see her face better.
He lifted her face with his slender fingers, and saw that she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and he was immediately distressed.
He wiped the tears from her cheeks with his slender fingers and asked, "What's wrong, Mianmian? Who bullied you?"
Nan Mianmian choked and said, "No one bullied me."
Leng Xiao asked, "Then why are you crying?"
Nan Mianmian put her arms around Leng Xiao's neck and said with tears in her eyes, "Husband, you are so good."
Leng Xiao was confused when he heard this. He was busy these days, going out early and coming back late, how could he be good?
Why did he suddenly praise him?
Nan Mianmian continued, "My husband, when you decided to marry me, did you ever think about regretting it in the future?"
Leng Xiao smiled and said, "What should I regret? I was afraid that you would regret it, that you just didn't think straight for a while and wanted to become a monk, and that you would regret marrying me in the future."
Nan Mianmian thought of the wedding night when Leng Xiao asked her if she regretted it. If she said she regretted it, would he let her go home?
"I haven't thought about becoming a monk. I'm living a good life. Why would I want to become a monk?"
Leng Xiao was stunned for a long time.
When he reacted, he was still a little bit unbelievable.
"You don't want to become a monk?"
"Yes, you saved me, why should I become a monk?" Nan Mianmian stared at Leng Xiao for a long time, "Do you regret it? If the general hadn't deceived you, you wouldn't have wanted to marry me."
Leng Xiao shook his head when he heard it, "No, I'm just surprised."
Nan Mianmian was puzzled when she heard this. "You were deceived, what are you surprised about?"
Leng Xiao said, "The general knows me very well. If he had asked me to marry you directly, I would definitely not agree. We are not a good match. You are a rich lady, and I am just a small guard. We are not from the same world."
Nan Mianmian was stunned when she heard this.
Leng Xiao continued, "The general said this because he didn't want to embarrass me. If I am willing, the general doesn't need to say more. If I am not willing, the general is forced to agree. The general is not that kind of person."
Nan Mianmian seemed to understand what Leng Xiao meant when she heard this. She could only sigh that Xie Jing was really a black-bellied person, and Leng Xiao was sold out by Xie Jing and counted money for him.
Leng Xiao pursed his lips and couldn't help asking, "So, it was you who took the initiative to propose to marry me?"
Nan Mianmian always thought that Leng Xiao was real, so she was a little angry when Leng Xiao asked her that on the wedding night.
Moreover, when she first found Xie Jing, she didn't think of hiding it from Leng Xiao.
"Of course, my love for Xie Jing is not the same as a woman's love for a man. I only found out later. I just admire heroes like Xie Jing. It wasn't until I was in danger and you fell from the sky that I realized that when you like someone, your heartbeat will speed up."
Leng Xiao was stunned when he heard this. This was something he didn't even dare to think about at the time.
Nan Mianmian married him because she liked him, not because she couldn't let it go.
After Nan Mianmian finished speaking, she stared at Leng Xiao without blinking, "You should like me now, right?"
Now that her son is almost two years old, Leng Xiao treats her very well, so he should like her.
Leng Xiao kissed her lips and answered with his actions.
Nan Mianmian was just stunned for a moment, and took the initiative to respond to her .
Everything was said today, and for a moment, he could not control his emotions. Leng Xiao kissed Nan Mianmian while picking her up and passing through the beaded curtain, walked to the big bed, and laid her flat on the bed.
Everything was unspoken.
After finishing, Leng Xiao whispered: "Of course I like you, but I don't know when I fell in love with you. When the general said that you wanted to become a monk, I almost didn't think about it, and I wanted to marry you." At
that time, his idea was very simple, that is, he didn't want Nan Mianmian to become a monk, and marrying her was a delaying tactic.
As long as she doesn't leave home, we can talk about everything later.
On the wedding night, he didn't even think about the candles in the bridal chamber, which gave Nan Mianmian a chance to regret. He
just didn't expect her to take the initiative.
He drank a lot of wine and got hot-headed. When he heard her say she didn't regret it, he lost all his rationality.
Leng Xiao is still very glad for his choice, otherwise he wouldn't have the good life of a warm bed with his children.
When Xie Jing came back, Jiang Youning told Xie Jing what happened today.
"You're not angry, are you?"
Xie Jing chuckled, "Why should I be angry?"
Jiang Youning said, "This way your subordinates will know that you are lying to them, aren't you afraid?"
Xie Jing laughed out loud this time, "My subordinates are not that stupid."
Jiang Youning's eyes were full of confusion when he heard this, "Since Leng Xiao is so smart, why didn't you just say it directly?"
Xie Jing rubbed his wife's soft hair, "You don't know Leng Xiao."
Xie Jing took the teacup and took a sip. This time he continued, "Leng Xiao is an orphan, and he clearly distinguishes between masters and servants. It's not right for him to marry Nan Mianmian. He won't marry her. Besides, Leng Xiao is my subordinate, and Nan Mianmian was my concubine before, so he won't marry her."
Jiang Youning seemed to understand the meaning of Xie Jing's trick.
"So you said Nan Mianmian wanted to become a monk because of her reputation, and gave the decision to Leng Xiao. If you don't become a general, who will? No one can beat you with eight hundred tricks. I was deceived by you, and it's not unfair at all."
Xie Jing knew from her expression that she was still thinking about what he did when she was pregnant.
He put down the teacup, came in front of her, bent down and picked her up horizontally, then sat down on the chair, his eyes looking at her belly, and his big hands also touched it, and whispered: "How do you feel? Are you still uncomfortable?"
Jiang Youning has been accustomed to Xie Jing's motionless princess hug. She looked down at her belly, which was still flat.
"It's okay, a little better than before."
"That's good." Xie Jing has been worried that his wife is not feeling well, and this time he is relieved.
Jiang Youning thought of something, "Husband, which girl do you think my eldest brother has taken a fancy to? I heard about it a year ago, and he still won't let me see my sister-in-law."
Good night, babies!
