26. Chapter 26 Returning Home



"The family background of the Marquis's Mansion is indeed not low. My second brother is handsome and not young anymore. He should have started a family and established a career long ago.

Since you haven't started a family yet, you should build a career first. If it was two years earlier, you could still use the excuse of "you are young and don't want to get married" to get away with it.

If you guys still don't get married in two years, we, the sons of the Marquisate, will become a laughing stock in the capital?"

Old Madam Xiao, the old marquis, and the adult sons of the Xiao family were all frightened by Wen Qingwan's words.

The Cheng'en Marquisate only has a title and has no place to stand in the court.

It can be said that Marquis Cheng'en is a thorn in the emperor's side. If it weren't for the great contribution made by the Crown Prince three years ago, the Xiao family would not even be able to keep the title.

Although the children of the Marquis's Mansion have not been pampered since childhood, they are still much better off than ordinary people.

At least they don't need to work hard for three meals a day. Although they only eat meat every few days, they are still people with servants serving them.

In the eyes of people outside the capital, they are a glorious century-old family and are very prestigious.

As for the fact that they often had to eat coarse food and simple vegetables, no one even in the capital knew about it.

If they didn't have the identities of the young master and the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, it would be a question whether they could survive.

This is also the reason why the Xiao family is afraid of being expelled from the family tree.

Xiao Libo had used the title of a marquis' son to deceive young girls in Shangjing City, but when he really wanted to marry into Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, they didn't agree! He asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, do you think you can ask a matchmaker to help me propose marriage?"

"Not today. Your sister-in-law and I have to go back home today. Just tell me if you are willing to raise pigs." Xiao Jin asked Xiao Libo expressionlessly.

"Of course... I am willing." When Xiao Libo heard the King of Hell asking him a question, he nodded instinctively, even though he didn't want to raise pigs at all.

But who made Yan Wang so capable? ! When he was a child, he had an aunt, but Yan Wang had no mother to protect him and she would beat him up in places where adults couldn’t see.

His aunt secretly gave him food, and as he was young and ignorant at that time, he took the food to show off in front of the King of Hell, but he snatched it away and ate it.

He once complained to his aunt, and was beaten even more severely by his eldest brother. After this many times, he became particularly afraid of this eldest brother who was three months older than him.

Their grandmother and father didn't care about the matter, and no one in the house had the ability to kill their eldest brother. His aunt cursed him every day, saying that he had an unlucky life.

His eldest brother was indeed lucky. He outlived several stepmothers, and even his aunt had been dead for two years.

And his elder brother was not only alive, but also married a beautiful lady from aristocratic family, and now he was even granted a title! And what about him! He asked the matchmaker to go to Yun Mansion to propose marriage several times, but was driven out every time. Later, when he heard that it was the second son of Cheng Enhou who proposed marriage, he couldn't even enter the door of Shangshu Mansion.

Unable to get in, Xiao Libo walked dejectedly on the street, feeling very confused. He didn't know what to do.

Why was everything different from what he expected?

He is the second son of the Marquis's Mansion, yet these people look down on him so much...

At this time, Xiao Libo placed all his hopes on Wen Qingwan, so he really wanted to raise pigs.

A voice sounded in Wen Qingwan's mind, "The host has successfully harvested two breeders, and the Merit Mall will give you 500 merit points, plus a breeding technology manual."

"Since you all have no objections, I have a breeding manual here. I will copy a few copies and distribute them to my second brother and the others."

As Wen Qingwan gave the instructions, she took out a book from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Libo with a smile on her face.

Another five hundred merit points arrived in her account, how could she not be happy?

She could already see those delicacies beckoning to her, inviting her to taste them.

"The teacher should be here soon. Those who are studying should go and register to familiarize themselves with the job. Those who are raising pigs should read the breeding manual that my third brother copied.

Jinlan will distribute fabrics to the concubines. They will start making clothes for the young masters in the mansion today. Young ladies over ten years old will learn how to make clothes."

"Sister-in-law, can I choose the fabric for making clothes myself?" 11-year-old Xiao Jinting asked.

Her appearance did not inherit the good qualities of Marquis Cheng'en, and could only be considered above average, probably because she took after her aunt.

That concubine was the daughter of a merchant. Xiao Jinting probably learned her manners from her. She looked weird, with her hair full of hair ornaments that swayed with every step.

Wen Qingwan couldn't stand such a woman, so she said in a cold tone, "If you want to choose, go to the cloth shop outside."

"I don't want to go out. People outside look down on the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion and say that we..."

Xiao Jinting wanted to say more but was interrupted by Wen Qingwan, "Those young ladies from noble families said that your manners are not as good as the maids in their mansions, right?"

"Sister-in-law, how did you know? But I am obviously a daughter of a marquis, and I have tried very hard to learn the rules, but they still... um..."

Xiao Jinting wanted to complain but her brother covered her mouth, "Tingting, don't talk nonsense. You're wasting my sister-in-law's time."

Wen Qingwan took a deep look at the boy who covered his sister's mouth. He looked about thirteen years old.

His facial features perfectly inherited his father's advantages, he is handsome and fair like porcelain, with plump lips, which will leave a good impression on people.

He chose to study, and he must have been laughed at by others outside!

"Today's mission has been released. Everyone, perform well and don't let your big brother down."

"Brother, sister-in-law, please rest assured. We will never let you down." The boys said in unison.

Seeing that Wen Qingwan had given all the instructions, Xiao Jin said softly, "My lady, it's getting late. Let's go back and change our clothes and leave for home."

"Yeah." Wen Qingwan only then remembered that today was the day she returned home. In her previous life, she had never returned to the Wen Mansion after she married into the Eastern Palace.

So much so that she even forgot about returning home!

Seeing the confused look on the little girl's face, Xiao Jin shook his head in amusement, not knowing how to describe his feelings. In short, they were very complicated.

He thought that he was more handsome than the prince, and even though he had a lame leg, he was still as handsome as the prince. He even washed himself up specially for fear of embarrassing the little girl.

Wen Qingwan didn't dress up deliberately, she just put on some light makeup and a touch of red lipstick.

She is naturally beautiful, and the light makeup makes her look more natural.

Paired with a bright red pleated floor-length skirt and a white brocade belt across it, her slender waist seemed so slender that it seemed almost impossible to hold.

When Xiao Jin saw her, his eyes lit up and he sighed secretly. His little girl had grown up into a beautiful girl.

In early summer, all kinds of wild flowers bloomed in the yard, red, purple, pink and yellow, like bright spots embroidered on a large green carpet.

Swarms of bees are busy among the flowers, sucking the stamens and flying around diligently.

Wen Qingwan walked forward without looking around, and when she arrived at the gate of the marquis' mansion, she got on the carriage alone.
