Chapter 224 See His Sincerity
An An looked at the tightly closed door. He looked up and asked Li Ruan Ruan, "Mother, why did you lock Dad out?"
Tiantian also looked anxious: "Mom, open the door quickly. Dad is still outside. We have to wait for him to come in before closing the door."
The child even wanted to go and open the door for Ye Yunchu himself.
Ye Yunchu was so nice to them along the way, so the children naturally developed a good relationship with him.
Li Ruanruan pulled the two children back. She squatted down, looked into An An and Tian Tian's eyes, and told them very seriously: "Daddy is a high-ranking official in the court. He has a lot of things to do when he comes back. It's not that Mom locked Daddy out, but Daddy doesn't do his job properly when he's with us. So lock Daddy out and don't disturb him from doing his work, understand?"
An An was the first to understand and nodded, then said, "Then will Dad come back after he finishes his work?"
Li Ruanruan nodded: "When Daddy is done with his work, he will come to find us."
Although Tiantian didn’t understand the first sentence, she could understand the second sentence.
Knowing that her father would be back, she nodded: "Then be good, sweetie, and wait for your father to come back."
Li Ruanruan patted their heads and said, "Then mother will take you to see the new residence and see if you like it."
Li Runrun and Li Bai took their children for a stroll, each holding their hand.
I saw that Ye Yunchu had indeed decorated it carefully. There were many things for children to play in, such as swings, wooden horses, slides, sand pits, etc.
Li Runrun saw how concerned he was, and she was actually still soft-hearted.
But she didn't soften her attitude in the end, because this was her bottom line.
If Ye Yunchu couldn't deal with Xu Wan, she would really go her separate ways with him.
Li Runrun has made up her mind. She will settle down first and go visit her old friend Ye Qiaoqiao tomorrow.
Ask about Ye Qiaoqiao's business in Beijing.
Then I started looking for a shop and started my own business.
You've been away for so long and finally come back, so just settle down and live your own life.
If Ye Yunchu really broke his promise and deceived her again.
Next time she will leave more cleanly and without leaving any trace.
But this also requires her to become strong and make her own arrangements.
This time, she thought, she didn't need anyone's help, she could plan slowly.
If he really lied to her, then she would also take revenge on him.
Let him know that she is no longer a pushover.
Li Runrun thought a lot. She should be happy to return to the capital and live in such a big, beautiful and comfortable house.
But I still feel a little uneasy.
The garden was very big. After walking around it, An An and Tian Tian had fallen asleep on her and Li Bai's shoulders.
Because the servants hadn't yet examined their character, Li Ruanruan couldn't trust them at first. She decided to let Li Bai watch over them carefully, let him take charge, and assign them someone to work with.
Li Runrun didn't find it difficult to manage such a large house. Managing the rear courtyard was the same as managing the east courtyard before. She had her own set of experience and methods, which she had figured out on her own.
Wait until Li Bai takes the child to bed.
Li Runrun was also busy. She asked people to open the warehouse and check the accounts. She needed to know everything that was available in this house.
Marquis' Mansion.
When Ye Yunchu came back, the Marquis' wife and the Marquis were very happy, and they ordered the kitchen to prepare a table full of delicious dishes.
Including the old lady, Xu Wan, and the whole family sat together for dinner.
Ye Shuang is already married.
When Xiao Jing was still the crown prince, she married him as a concubine.
Now she is the Concubine Shu in the palace.
Although he seems to be in a very good position, he is not favored. Not long ago, he was even punished with solitary confinement for competing for favor.
It makes her seem even less favored.
Not long ago, she sent a letter back crying, and the Marquis's wife was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do.
When Mrs. Hou learned that Ye Yunchu had returned, she felt relieved. She thought that Ye Yunchu had returned after having made a contribution.
No matter what, the emperor will be very pleased and will have to give Concubine Shu some face.
This is the importance of the power of the mother's family.
Compared to the Queen, who was just the sickly daughter of a judge and had no real power or background, Ye Shuang was still lucky.
Moreover, the queen is in weak health and may not live long. By then, with Ye Yunchu's support, Ye Shuang will have a place to compete for the position of queen.
Then the Marquis's Mansion is no longer just a showpiece, it is truly a prestigious place.
The Marquis's wife has a very long-term plan.
Xu Wan looked at Ye Yunchu frequently during the meal and finally found an opportunity to talk to Ye Yunchu and interact with him.
She took the silver wine jug inlaid with gemstones from the maid's hand and said, "Let me do it."
Xu Wan lowered her head and knelt down to pour wine for Ye Yunchu.
Her meaning was very clear. She wanted to do it for Ye Yunchu to see and let him know how low she put herself.
I hope he can give her some face, they are husband and wife after all.
Ye Yunchu watched Xu Wan pour him wine. Although he ignored her, he did not refuse either.
This already made Xu Wan very happy.
The old lady and the marquis' wife looked at each other and were happy to see that their tense relationship was showing signs of easing.
After all, everyone wants Ye Yunchu to live a good life and not be depressed all day long.
The Marquis's wife said, "Since that's the case, Wan'er will offer Yun'er a drink too. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight. Besides, you've been apart for so long, you should talk it over."
Xu Wan bowed, so meekly: "Yes, mother."
Knowing that it was the Marquis' wife who mediated, Xu Wan was very sensible and did not refuse at all.
Xu Wan filled a glass of wine for herself and held it up. "Wan'er offers a toast to my husband. All that happened in the past was due to my own ignorance. I hope my husband will be magnanimous and not hold it against me anymore. From now on, I will change my bad temper and get along well with my husband, so that our father and mother will worry less about us."
Xu Wan didn't even wait for Ye Yunchu to raise his glass. She wanted to toast Ye Yunchu, but she was afraid that Ye Yunchu would offend her.
So without waiting for Ye Yunchu's reaction, she raised her glass and drank the wine, which was considered her toast.
The Marquis's wife said, "Wan'er has always been filial and cares a lot about us. When you were not at home and I was sick, it was Wan'er who stayed by my bedside to show her filial piety. She is such a good child."
Madam Hou reached out, took Xu Wan's hand and patted it.
By saying this, he was telling Ye Yunchu about Xu Wan's contribution during the days when he was not at home.
Let Ye Yunchu appreciate Xu Wan's love, so that they can reconcile quickly.
Ye Yunchu seemed to have taken his words to heart and raised his glass: "Thank you for your hard work."
He tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine.
It was like a sign of reconciliation, and Xu Wan was extremely happy.
