It was all Xie Yuancheng's fault for speaking up, which led to my father scolding me. He said that now that I'm a mother, I shouldn't abandon my son no matter where I go.
My mother chimed in, saying that if we hadn't abandoned Yu'er, the whole family would be reunited now.
"Father and Mother, I understand. I will never do such a thing again."
Xie Yuancheng laughed beside me. I squeezed my hand, thinking I'd deal with him later that night.
Everything at the beginning was very well said, but then it turned into a denunciation session against me. I felt extremely ashamed after being criticized, but it was indeed my fault for abandoning Yu'er, and I was also heartbroken.
“Ying’er, after these things have passed, in half a month, I will go back to Linyang with you to see Yu’er.”
"Really? You can't be lying to me!"
"Of course not, I have never lied to Ying'er. Besides, I still have to deal with the drainage problem in Linyang."
He only remembered those experiments, but seeing his precious son was all that mattered, so he didn't care what he did back home.
Thankfully, my father's subordinate came looking for him, so I was finally spared his nagging. I went out, supporting my back. From now on, I can only wear women's clothing, but the men's clothing of the Great Zhao Dynasty looks even better.
Moreover, I've found that I have a lot of good luck every time I wear men's clothing.
When Xie Yuancheng found out, he actually said I was overthinking it, and he went on and on about how I got angry because I was dressed as a man, and my mother was even standing next to him lecturing me.
"Alright, fine, I won't wear it then. You always talk the most."
“Ying’er, you are a girl and now you’re a mother, so it’s normal for Yuan Cheng to be worried. In Da Zhao, there are some wealthy women who, because their husbands are often away, have found partners who work as mirror polishers.”
"Mother, where would I go to find a mirror polisher? You're overthinking it."
"Can I think too much? Princess Cailu from last time, and some other girls, even Wan'er, she still can't forget you."
"Yuancheng, tell your mother that I haven't done anything wrong." These are special times; let's try to 'turn enemies into friends' first.
“Mother-in-law, Ying’er has never done anything bad. She just likes to dress as a man and go out to amuse young girls.”
“I know that. When Ying’er was little, she said she wanted to get married and bring a wife home, saying that she would be just like a man, so I’m worried about that too.”
My dear mother, how could you bring this up? You raised me like a son since I was little.
"Ying'er, is what your mother-in-law said true?" Xie Yuancheng smiled so beautifully, but in his heart he probably wanted to squeeze me into a ball.
"You can't take what your mother says when you're a child seriously, can you?"
Thankfully, my mother felt sorry for me: "Yes, but since Ying'er had such thoughts when she was young, we should stop her from having them. Now that you're free, you should live a good life with Yuan Cheng from now on."
"Oh, I see."
I've lived a good life with him everywhere, married him from all walks of life, and even had a son. Now we're trying to conceive a daughter.
Xie Yuancheng was also laughing happily beside us, but as soon as his mother left, he revealed his true colors as soon as we entered the door.
"My dear wife, you're still thinking about getting married? That's a good idea."
"Those were words I said when I was a teenager, you can't take them seriously!"
"Ying'er isn't even twenty yet, isn't she a teenager?"
“Yuancheng.” I kissed his lower lip: “Don’t be petty. I don’t care about your engagement with Lingwu, so why are you holding a grudge about what happened when I was only twelve or thirteen years old.”
"Hmph, if it weren't for my conversation with Uncle Cui this time, you probably would have gone to the palace to have fun with those palace maids."
"How could I do such a thing? I only love you. Even if I meet someone better in the future, I will only love you."
Seeing my heartfelt confession, Xie Yuancheng finally stopped being angry, and his eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.
Xie Yuancheng is actually easy to persuade, but he also likes to get stuck on things. As Ling Wu said, he is ruthless and decisive, but because he is very sincere to people, so many people are willing to work for him.
"By the way, where did Lingwu and Anxiang go?"
"Ying'er still knows to ask about their whereabouts. I thought you only remembered to dress up as a boy to amuse the little girls."
"I already said it's from the old almanac, and you're still saying it. If you keep saying it, I'm going to get angry and ignore you." I pretended to be angry and turned away.
"Alright, from now on you're not allowed to wear men's clothes out for no reason. Even if you do, you have to come with me." Xie Yuancheng wrapped his arms around my waist from behind: "Lingwu went back to the teacher's valley, and Anxiang, Lin Chao, and my sister went to Linyang together."
"I wonder how the shopkeeper explained it to them. Will they fly there in an instant?"
Xie Yuancheng was laughing, and I glared at him before I stopped laughing: "Ying'er, you're so cute. Even if my sister and the others rush as fast as they can, they probably won't arrive for another five or six days."
"We're not there yet!" I ran my fingers through my hair. "I should have chased after him. My precious son, I want to smell his milky scent."
Just thinking about Yu'er's scent makes me feel at ease. I had my bones broken last time, so I can't hold her often.
"If you hadn't left Yu'er with your sister, I probably would have caught up with you guys by now."
“I didn’t think that much. Those people who were chasing you passed by on the bridge and said you were seriously injured. How could I be at ease going to Linyang with my sister? At that time, I thought, if something happens to you, I don’t want to live either.”
I don't want to be with any man other than Xie Yuancheng, but I can't bear to spend my whole life longing for him. I might not even be able to raise Yu'er properly before I die for Xie Yuancheng.
"It was my fault, I shouldn't have said that to you." Xie Yuancheng kissed my cheek. "It's a good thing we jumped together, so we could go to 2020 and see so many new and interesting things."
"That's right, so you can't say that about me anymore, or I'll..."
"What are you going to do?"
Xie Yuancheng raised an eyebrow, and I thought to myself, "I'm not going to lose to him: I'll find a man who's better looking than you."
"Ying'er is getting naughtier and naughtier. Watch how I deal with you."
"Haha, let go! Mom said she's taking me out later. Ah, I know I was wrong, I was just kidding!"
Xie Yuancheng tickles me, always by tickling my armpits and lower back. These two areas tickle me, and then I always feel like laughing.
"If you keep talking nonsense, you're not allowed to leave the house today."
"I've never gone out shopping with my mother while wearing women's clothes, dear husband, please let me off the hook."
Xie Yuancheng finally stopped. I leaned against the soft couch and laughed. He leaned next to me and grabbed my hand: "Ying'er, you always make me feel insecure."
"Pah, you even changed my name, and you still say you don't feel safe."
You're always thinking about others.
"That's even more nonsense. It's all because you chimed in that I started talking nonsense."
Xie Yuancheng squeezed closer to me, and he reached out and grabbed my other hand: "I've got you. You can't run away from me anymore."
"It's all yours, you're such a child!"
