Zhong Mingwei promoted Kong Wenjie to be the general of Jilin. This time when he returns to Ningguta, Kong Wenjie does not have to go back to the capital, but can go directly to Jilin to take up his post. Jilin is only a few days' journey from Ningguta. This is done out of Zhong Mingwei's consideration for Fang Zuotang's family, and out of his trust in Kong Wenjie and Fang Zuotang. He also wants Fang Zuotang, the father-in-law, to cultivate and guide his son-in-law.
"Sister An, you're saying embarrassing things again. What's with the 'madam' and 'madam' stuff? I... I haven't married him yet." Fang Chengyin immediately became embarrassed and her face turned red to her neck.
"Isn't it almost time? It's not too long before the Chinese New Year," Xiao An said with a smile, smoothing Fang Chengyin's hair, and said softly, "Chengyin, when you become the general's wife in the future, you won't be as free as you are now as a young lady. I've always been worried about your temper, but fortunately you don't have parents-in-law to serve, and Wen Jie is a good-natured person. You will definitely have a comfortable life in the future. But even so, you have to consider Wen Jie in everything. Although Wen Jie usually indulges you and loves you, you can't always act like a child. You have to learn to be a good wife, understand?"
"I see. Just like Sister An," Fang Chengyin nodded and said softly, "Although Sister An was reluctant to let Brother Pang leave, she still let Brother Pang go to the capital with Master and Madam without hesitation. She didn't make things difficult for him and didn't trap him in the backyard, so that he could assist Master to accomplish great things without any worries. Later, such a huge tragedy happened in Ningguta, but Sister An never complained about Brother Pang. Brother Pang loved and respected Sister An, and Sister An also understood and supported Brother Pang. This is the way for a couple to get along."
Xiao An didn't say anything. She smoothed Fang Chengyin's hair and put her arms around her. She smelled the faint rose scent on the girl and somehow her eyes became wet.
Once upon a time, she was just like this girl. Relying on her father's favor, she grew up carefree in a wealthy and noble family. She was willful and arrogant, and acted recklessly, as dazzling as a rose. She thought that such good days would last a lifetime. Even though she later married a cold-blooded man, which made her disheartened, but as long as she thought of her father's kind face, her heart would be filled with warmth, especially when the prince was deposed and she was most panic-stricken, her father took her back home. At that time, she sighed in her heart, how could there be a daughter in the world who was more fortunate than her?
But as soon as she sighed with relief, the mask of a loving father was torn off in front of her. Compared with the harm caused by the cold-blooded man, this was a real disaster. Overnight, she was forced to grow up. From then on, she was no longer willful, arrogant, and reckless. The noble lady who was as dazzling as a rose suddenly became a lamb to be slaughtered in a panic...
It was not until she met Pang Yi and came to Ningguta that her anxious heart gradually settled down. In that year's Ningguta's biting cold wind and endless snowfields, she was reborn. She was no longer a delicate rose, but was reborn into a red plum that dared to bloom in the biting cold wind.
She is grateful to Pang Yi, and even more grateful to life.
…
The lively wedding banquet lasted from noon to night. When Pang Yi returned to his room, it was dark. He smelled strongly of alcohol, but his eyes were clear, and it was obvious that he had not drunk too much. In fact, Pang Yi had not touched a drop of alcohol since returning to Ningguta. Xiao An didn't like the smell of alcohol, and now he had to help Xiao An take care of her son, so Pang Yi was even more afraid to drink. But today was Qin Chong and Gu Qingtong's wedding day, so Pang Yi had to drink more.
Pang Yi pushed the door open quietly, and seeing that Xiao An had fallen asleep with Xiao Nianqin in her arms, he dared not make any noise. Since Xiao Nianqin was born, Xiao An had not gotten enough sleep every day. It was rare that Xiao Nianqin stopped making noise at this time. Pang Yi tiptoed to the bed and squatted down. In the soft light from the lanterns in the corridor outside, he looked at Xiao An's sleeping face. The more he looked, the more beautiful she looked. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss her, and at the same time he couldn't help laughing. But as he laughed, tears came out. He covered his face and sat on the ground against the edge of the bed.
