Chapter 459 Jealousy with Son
Hu Zi rubbed his face and looked at Zheng Ci aggrievedly, "Mom, mom, I'm hungry, hungry!"
Zheng Ci took a spoon, put some fish in front of him, and said, "Eat it."
She didn't allow the wet nurse to serve her, as she didn't want Zheng Jue to develop the habit of having everything handed to him. He wanted to do everything himself.
Zheng Jue was not a squeamish person either. He was not very good at using the spoon. He scooped up a spoonful of fish meat and put it into his mouth, eating it with a smacking sound.
"It's delicious! Mom, I want more. I'm hungry!"
I looked into his bowl and saw that it was all gone.
"You eat so much! If you were born in an ordinary family, all the money they earn in a year would go into your mouth."
Zheng Ci said as she scooped him another bowl.
Turning around, she saw Pei Ji looking at her silently and blinking his beautiful eyes.
"What's the meaning."
"Ma'am, I want one too."
Pei Ji's voice sounded aggrieved.
Zheng Ci was stunned, "You are even jealous of your son?" Having said that, she still scooped a spoonful for him.
Pei Ji smiled sweetly, "Thank you, ma'am."
Then he buried his head in his food.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the house was warm and harmonious. Outside, the snow fell silently and rustlingly. Under the moonlight, the ground was covered with a brilliant white, like frost, like fog, and like the moon's shadow, cold and bright.
"The moonlight is so beautiful." Zheng Ci sighed as he stood in front of the bed.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands wrapped around her waist from behind, her head rested on her shoulder, and a warm breath came from behind.
“It’s really beautiful.”
The two hugged each other, oblivious to the surroundings. Zheng Ci leaned back, and the two of them got closer.
"Mom, mom, dad, dad!"
The person who was ruining the atmosphere came from behind. Pei Ji looked helpless and said, "Next year, I should find someone to enlighten this kid."
Zheng Ci looked at him. It seemed that he was disgusted with his son and wanted to find an opportunity to throw him out.
But she didn't say it directly.
"Alright."
It just so happened that she also found the boy annoying. A two-year-old boy had reached the age where dogs and people hated him.
Zheng Jue didn't get angry when his parents ignored him. He just played with the stuffed tiger happily, giggling non-stop.
The two looked at each other and said, "This kid is stupid, he must be like you."
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows, "I'm smart, don't slander me."
Zheng Ci glared at him, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Pei Ji didn't dare to answer, and after a while he whispered, "Just follow me."
Zheng Ci smiled complacently.
After a meal to help digest the food, Zheng Jue was taken back by her nurse to rest. A child's energy comes and goes quickly. By now, he was already drowsy. The two of them strolled under the moonlight, their feet rustling through the snow.
It's rare to have such a quiet and leisurely time.
With the emperor's attention, Pei Ji's burden becomes heavier. The emperor has recently started to purge the powerful families.
"The Emperor is increasingly dissatisfied with the powerful families. Our Emperor is also ambitious."
The purpose of cleaning up the aristocratic families is to achieve some achievements.
"These aristocratic families have been plagued by illness for a long time. The late emperor also wanted to clean them up, but it's not easy. Only by taking it slow can we find a chance. Your Majesty is still too impatient."
Zheng Ci heard the hidden meaning in his words, "You mean, the emperor won't succeed this time."
“It’s difficult.”
Zheng Ci understood.
"But it's not completely useless. When those people prey on the people, they will always restrain themselves and not be so unscrupulous."
Zheng Ci smiled and said, "These things always have to be done by someone. Since the emperor is willing to do so, it is a good thing for the people."
The moonlight cast a holy light on the person before him. Her flawless white face wore a peaceful smile, and her eyes were bright and full of spirit. Pei Ji was mesmerized by her.
After a while, he whispered, "I am always glad that I married you."
Zheng Ci was stunned for a moment, "Why do you say that suddenly? Besides, I'm not as good as you say."
"Hello, you are the best in the world."
In a word, Pei Ji spoke with great enthusiasm.
Because this is his wife, a kind woman who cares about the common people.
Today, an unexpected person came to the house.
Zheng Ci looked at Mrs. Miao in front of her, who was dressed in plain clothes with only a silver hairpin on her head. No, she was now Mrs. Feng.
Mrs. Miao returned home to her ancestral Feng family.
Her family was honest and kind. They did not look down on her because of the Miao family's affairs. Instead, they happily accepted her.
"I feel relieved when I hear you say you are doing well."
Madam Feng stood up and bowed. "I came here today specifically to thank you for tipping off Madam that day. Now that I'm out of the Miao family, it's a good thing."
"Over the years, Miao Pu has favored his concubine over his wife, and that concubine has done everything in her power to oppose me. Without worrying about Madam laughing at me, I'm living a life worse than a servant. I've wanted to leave for a long time, but Miao Pu is selfish and won't agree, so I have no choice but to stay in the Miao family."
Seeing her frankness, Zheng Ci smiled and said, "I'm happy that you can return to your parents' home and start a new life."
Madam Feng laughed heartily, and Zheng Ci was relieved when she saw that her smile did not seem fake.
She felt no guilt or remorse towards Miao Pu and Song Ying. She was only afraid of involving innocent people.
"I used the remaining money from my dowry to start some small business. My parents and my brother and sister-in-law are all kind-hearted people, and they treat me very well. But when you live in this world, it's more about finding a place to live and making a living than being treated well by others."
"Madam Feng is right. I think so too."
When the two of them talked about their opinions, they actually felt that they had met too late.
"If Madam Feng doesn't mind, you can come to the house more often in the future. I have nothing to do and it's boring to be alone. We can chat together."
Madam Feng was very grateful. She knew that, firstly, Zheng Ci really liked her. Secondly, Zheng Ci was afraid that people would talk about her behind her back if she came out. If others knew about her relationship with Zheng Ci, they would naturally be wary of her.
She was very grateful.
"Okay, if my lady doesn't mind, I will come often."
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Feng left.
Zheng Ci sighed, "I was always worried that this Madam Feng would have a hard time. Seeing her like this, I feel relieved."
This is because my parents are not kind and my brother and sister-in-law are narrow-minded.
Life is really sad.
Wanxiang also echoed.
In a blink of an eye, the two talked about Tian'er's marriage again.
"How are the preparations going?"
She originally wanted to prepare it herself, but Alin said he would do it himself, so Zheng Ci did not interfere.
Wanxiang chuckled, "Alin is very thoughtful. He has been looking for houses outside and chose a quiet one."
Zheng Ci nodded, "Tian'er likes quietness."
Wanxiang: "Yes, A-Lin is really thoughtful. He even bought some jewelry, headwear, and fabrics for Tian'er. Look at me, A-Lin treats Tian'er really well. This level of treatment is not much worse than what a wealthy family would give their daughter."
