I knew he wouldn't agree, but I really wanted to sleep with Yan'er and Li Ruowei for one night. We're such good friends, and Xie Yuancheng still wouldn't agree!
"Yuancheng~ You must not have eaten yet since you got back~"
"That trick didn't work. Go get clean and soak in the bath. Go to bed and wait for me."
"Yan'er is your niece, we should treat her well."
Especially when Bizhu secretly told me that Yan'er was frightened by those wicked people, and that a fierce little girl almost threw her to the ground, I panicked.
“Ying’er~ We are husband and wife, and my sister is married. You can’t just think about your own happiness and ignore what we men think.”
I know~
"You don't understand, you two are inseparable during the day and share a bed at night. Women don't have so much nonsense. If they say no, they mean no. They can talk during the day, but nighttime is my time."
Xie Yuancheng even closed the door. He was still hungry, so I had to promise not to sleep in Li Ruowei's courtyard before he opened the door and came with me to the dining room.
He's so domineering, he hasn't changed at all. I even thought he'd become a refined gentleman, but that was just my imagination.
I stayed in Linyang for a few days, and every day I played with Yan'er in different ways. At first, Yan'er was timid, but later she became happy and even wanted to eat by herself.
"Sister-in-law, you really have a way with things. I'm so worried about Yan'er. She keeps waking up in the middle of the night, scared."
"Yan'er is too young. From now on, no matter what kind of child they are, don't bring them into the house. If they are pitiful, just give them food and clothes. If they want to come into the mansion and live a good life, give up that idea as soon as possible."
"Alas, it was all because of my pitiful feelings back then. I heard that Master Zhang's son was pushed down the mountain by a brat, and he's still a bit confused."
"How could it have been pushed down the mountain?" I felt so sad. These wicked people, with the strength of a few hundred, have torn thousands of families apart.
"They only had boys in their family, and they doted on their adopted sister, giving her the best of everything. Who would have thought that when the family went out to play, her youngest son was pushed off the mountain?"
At the time, Master Zhang thought it was an accident. The girl was crying very sadly when the accident happened, her face was flushed, and she looked pitiful. Fortunately, someone saw her and secretly told Master Zhang, thus saving her from a terrible fate.
"Huh? Does that girl intend to kill me to cover it up?"
"Yes, they planned it all out, which is why Anshi raised the taxes in Linyang so high that people dared not adopt children casually. Now that the troublemaker has been eliminated, the extra taxes collected back then are being refunded these past few days."
"If those victims had been there that day, they would have been beaten terribly."
"So what if we beat them up? The injured or killed won't come back."
Li Ruowei sighed. She sighed every day since I came to Linyang. Later, thankfully Yan'er cheered up a bit, so she invited me to sleep with her. The two adults were so petty, they didn't even understand the reasoning behind it.
"Hehe~" Yan'er ran over again. Li Ruowei and I composed ourselves and stopped mentioning those troublemakers. They were all insignificant people who had done wrong and deserved to be punished anyway.
I took Yan'er for a walk in the corridor. She didn't run very fast, and after running all the way, she came back. Li Ruowei had embroidered a very pretty little pillow for her, and she hugged it tightly and wouldn't let go.
"She's exactly like Yu'er, she loves to hug her little pillow."
"They are small and like to hug things they see every day. Small pillows are light and pretty, and they like them the most."
"Yan'er~ come here to your aunt." I brought Yu'er's little toys with me. I had scalded them with hot water these past few days, and Xie Yuancheng checked them and found no problems, so I brought them over today.
Yan'er ran over to look at the little toy in my hand, and happily dropped her little pillow. Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise it would have really fallen to the ground.
Li Ruowei also became curious: "What is this? It's different from what's sold outside?"
“These are toys that Yuancheng made for the three little ones. I missed Yu’er, so I took a few with me. There are still some in the house. I scalded them with hot water, but they haven’t dried yet. Once they’re dry, I’ll give them all to Yan’er to play with.”
"Yu'er must be able to chat now, right?"
"They're over two years old. By the time I get back, Xizhi and Suling will both be able to walk."
"That's great. My younger brother and sister-in-law deserve the most credit in our family. The house is so quiet. It's only when there are more children that it's lively."
My face turned red when I heard this. Last time I had a fight with Xie Yuancheng, Li Ruowei always stood by my side unconditionally. Now she's saying this again. I kept my head down.
"Sister-in-law, don't be shy. Yuancheng said he'll be going back in the next few days. Do you want to keep Linyang here so he can go back and bring the children over?"
I looked up and quickly shook my head: "No, I miss Yu'er. I left Yu'er with my parents and want to go back to see him."
"We're going back home for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year too."
That bastard Xie Yuancheng must have Li Ruowei persuade me. I need to stay calm: "Really? Then I can go back twice!"
"Alright, I knew you were eager to go home. Yuancheng is still discussing with Anshi not to take you with him. I'll talk to Anshi tonight and tell him not to soften his heart."
"I knew my sister was the best~" I held Li Ruowei's hand, I was so grateful to her, Xie Yuancheng was so lucky to have such a sister.
When Xie Yuancheng returned that evening, his expression changed as expected. He had a smirking look that made me want to punch him.
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng came closer again, and I threw the handkerchief at him.
"You smell of sweat, go take a shower." He always comes back late. I asked the housekeeper, and he said there were many people applying for tax refunds, and it would be done tomorrow.
So, I want to go out with him tomorrow. He promised to take me to see Consort Ji, but he hasn't taken me yet.
"Ying'er~ Only when you sweat can you be called a real man. Besides, don't you like the smell of my fragrance? When I'm sweaty, I smell even better."
He actually pulled me into his arms to smell it. I was about to struggle when I could really smell the fragrance, which was indeed stronger than usual.
"See? I never lie to you."
"Get up quickly, I feel unwell~" I leaned against him and lowered my head. Xie Yuancheng finally got anxious.
"What's wrong? Let me see." He looked at it seriously, and I had to admire his acting skills; it completely outshone his.
"I feel unwell~ I need to go out with you to feel better."
"Stop fooling around. Tomorrow is the last day. The day after tomorrow, I'll take you to meet someone first thing in the morning, and then we'll go to the capital."
"Hmph! You don't care about me anymore~ You said such nice things before, that you would listen to everything I said, but after having three children, you don't cherish me anymore."
I turned to the other side, and Xie Yuancheng came over to comfort me. When he saw that I wouldn't budge, he grabbed a handkerchief and ran off, saying he was going to take a bath.
When he comes back, I'll treat him properly. I don't believe he won't agree.
But this time, no matter what I tried, Xie Yuancheng still wouldn't agree. I pressed him down and asked him why. Xie Yuancheng yawned and said he was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.
"Speak up, or I won't let you get up!"
Xie Yuancheng touched my face: "Lu Fengjun hasn't left yet, do you think I would take you out?"
