Chapter 400 Madam is Back
While Yun Qiao was chatting with her daughter, a maid came outside the door and said that the Marquis had returned.
Yun Qiao thought that the Marquis had come here, so she just let him in.
The maid said that the marquis just returned to the mansion and did not say he was looking for his wife.
Nian Nian looked at Yun Qiao and said, "Mother, you should go over and take a look. Your sudden departure has saddened father for a long time. He has been busy all day long since then. I think he was too afraid to think about you and was so busy that he forgot to eat and sleep."
Yun Qiao looked at Nian Nian with suspicion.
Could Chen Jingyan be someone who values feelings so much that he can't live without her?
Why doesn't she believe it at all?
"Mother, I'm fine here, please go quickly, go quickly..."
Yun Qiao was coaxed out by her daughter. She then stood up and took her maid to the central courtyard. When she arrived, the attendant outside the door said that the marquis was in the study.
Yun Qiao thought to herself: This is really busy.
She walked to the study door and knocked lightly a few times...
"My Lord, it's me. Can I go in?"
Chen Jingyan's indifferent voice came, "If you want to come in, come in. If you don't want to come in, you can still leave in style."
So he was waiting for her here.
Yun Qiao pushed open the door and walked in. The maids wanted to follow her, but Yun Qiao told them to wait outside and not let anyone in.
Looking at her posture, if you didn't know, you would think she was going to fight.
The door was pushed open and Yun Qiao walked in confidently. Looking at Chen Jingyan sitting on the chair, she walked over with a calm expression.
"If you don't like it, just tell me in advance. Why do you have to be so cunning after I leave?"
"Come closer," he whispered.
Yun Qiao saw that his face was very cold and thought he wanted to hit her, but she was not afraid and walked over.
"You can do whatever you want, but if you want to hit me, I'm not going to stand here and let you hit me."
Before Yun Qiao could finish her words, Chen Jingyan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, and she sat on his lap.
He wanted to move, but was held down by Chen Jingyan.
"You left so casually. I thought three months of being away was enough, but I didn't expect you to be gone for over a year. Aren't you afraid that I'll actually have another woman?"
"Will it?" she asked.
Yun Qiao indeed had not thought of this problem.
Because she thought that their children were so old now, and their married life didn't seem that important anymore.
“No, but I’m angry.”
Yes, there is a lot of gas.
But after seeing Yun Qiao, that anger disappeared.
"I thought you'd been out for so long that you'd become rough, but I didn't expect..."
Yun Qiao looked at Chen Jingyan. She sat on his lap, looking him in the eye. When their eyes met, she suddenly felt a strange feeling, familiar and yet unfamiliar. This man was her husband and the father of her child. She should be the most familiar with him.
But his broad palms and solid chest made her feel very unfamiliar.
"What didn't you expect?" she asked, feeling her heart beating.
The man in front of her is an old man in his forties. Is she attracted to him again?
"Still quite young."
After Chen Jingyan finished speaking, he rubbed his palm on her lips a few times, then moved closer and kissed her lips.
"You are so cruel. I am your husband. There is no one else in my house except you. You have been gone for so long. Don't you really think about me at all?"
He is a man, a man with normal body and mind.
He not only has all the emotions and desires that men have, but he also has them in sufficient quantities.
[I was suffocating at home, and you went out to have fun. Now you're back, acting like you're right. Wait until I see how I deal with you in bed.]
[However, her physique is truly rare. She doesn't seem tired at all after coming back from playing outside. She's still as fresh and tender as a flower bud.]
Listening to Chen Jingyan's true feelings, Yun Qiao almost burst out laughing.
I didn't expect the old man to be so cute.
She held Chen Jingyan's face in her hands and gave him some sentimental looks.
"I missed you when I was away from home. I met a lot of people and saw a lot of scenery..."
"You've met a lot of men, right?"
Chen Jingyan's jealous words came.
Yun Qiao: "Not even one ten-thousandth of what the Marquis has. In my heart, the Marquis is the most important and the one I love the most."
Hearing Yun Qiao say that she was happy, Chen Jingyan's hand fell on her waist.
Pinch it tightly.
"You have some conscience."
The door of the study was closed tightly. Usually, this study was the Marquis's private area. No one was allowed to enter without the Marquis's consent, but the lady was an exception.
But there is no time to stay in the study for two hours at a time.
The maids and servants waiting outside the door immediately became worried about the masters inside the house.
The experienced maid had already found a place to take a break, and those standing anxiously at the study door were newcomers with no experience in serving others.
The Marquis and His Highness haven't seen each other for more than a year. They are still young and energetic, so how could they come out all of a sudden? They must be affectionate with each other for a long time.
***
Yun Qiao blamed Chen Jingyan for messing around in the study.
Looking at the mess in the study, Yun Qiao picked up her clothes with disgust and put them on quickly. Chen Jingyan tidied his clothes slowly with a satisfied look on his face.
Seeing that Yun Qiao looked unhappy, he whispered in a flattering tone, "Madam, you have worked hard."
Yun Qiao ignored him.
Just as he was about to leave, he said to Chen Jingyan, "I'll go out first, you can go out later."
"Also, clean up the things on that chair. If the servants see it, don't blame me for getting angry."
Chen Jingyan laughed.
"You're quite capable, yet you're still angry in front of me..."
Yun Qiao ignored him and walked out.
Pushing the door open, her maid came up.
Without waiting for the maid to ask, Yun Qiao said calmly, "Since the Marquis is angry with me, I will not come to this important place, the study, in the future."
These words made the maids and servants standing outside the door afraid to speak.
Did they guess wrong?
Madam and the Marquis have been in the study for more than an hour. Are they arguing?
They thought that the relationship between the lady and the marquis was as sweet as honey and tender, who would have thought that they were quarreling in there.
Yun Qiao naturally heard the thoughts of the servants outside the door. They were a group of gossipy people.
Yun Qiao snorted in her heart.
Why are you so curious?
She had clearly gone to the study room when it was still daylight, but when she came out it was already dark. Yun Qiao didn't notice it, but she heard Ding Xiang ask her what she was preparing for lunch today, and asked Yun Qiao about her taste before arranging dinner.
It's already dinner time.
She really didn't want to eat anything.
Just let Dingxiang prepare it as she pleases.
She returned to the wing room in the east courtyard and ignored Chen Jingyan. She called the maid to prepare hot water, saying that she was a little tired and wanted to take a bath.
Ziwei asked the maid to bring hot water.
Yun Qiao didn't ask anyone to serve her, she washed herself.
Looking at the bruises all over her body, Yun Qiao couldn't help but curse Chen Jingyan in her heart. He was so strong that it was terrifying. Look at her legs, they were all covered with marks left by being pinched fiercely.
And the chest is bitten piece by piece...
She had to wear a high-necked dress later, otherwise, if the children saw her, she would lose her dignity.
Although she is still young according to modern age, in ancient times, she would be a grandmother.
If someone saw her, they would say she had no shame.
She quickly washed, put on her clothes, and asked the maid to come into the room to comb her hair.
Her hair was long and thick, and she couldn't style it herself. She was used to having her maid do it for her, so she was willing to do it too. Besides, the maid could do her hair much better than she could do it herself.
After Yunqiao came back, there was a lot more joy at home at dinner.
The dinner was extremely rich. There were five children in total, including the three sons of the Chen family, Ruoruo and Nian Nian. Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao sat on chairs and looked at the five children.
It was obvious that the children were much more excited than the two of them.
Chaonian asked his mother where she had been outside.
Mu Nian asked his mother what had happened to her outside.
Si Nian said nothing, staring blankly at the extraordinarily rich dishes on the table.
When my mother is at home, the food is really rich.
The people below are really dedicated.
Not to mention their brothers and sisters, even the servants in the mansion became particularly enthusiastic and energetic after their mother came back.
Nian Nian listened quietly to her brothers' questions, and she said a few words from time to time. Ruoruo followed her sister, and it seemed that she became more lively as long as her sister was around.
Chen Jingyan's eyes fell tenderly on his wife and children.
Suddenly, he said something.
"After your mother comes back this time, I will go out with your mother next time. This house will be handed over to you guys."
After saying this, there was silence.
Si Nian was the first to speak, "I had anticipated this."
Chao Nian and Mu Nian looked at Yun Qiao in unison.
"Mother, are you still leaving? When are you leaving?"
The mother had just returned and was about to leave again. The children were a little reluctant, but they were all the kind of people who cared about their mother, so they didn't want to stop her.
The problem is, they can't stop it even if they want to.
Yun Qiao glared at Chen Jingyan and said, "I just came back, and you want me to leave? Are you trying to kick me out of the house?"
"Daddy didn't mean that. He wanted to accompany Mom, so he said that if Mom leaves again, she should take Daddy with her."
This daughter is so nice and heartwarming.
Chen Jingyan felt very comfortable.
"My daughter is so thoughtful. She raised several children in vain, but she can't even guess what her father is thinking."
Chao Nian and Mu Nian stopped talking. Si Nian had a smile on his face, but he didn't dare show it too obviously.
Nian Nian immediately asked, "Mom, Dad, let's eat first."
Yun Qiao looked at Nian Nian with tenderness in her eyes, "Listen to Nian Nian."
"Your father and I are not compatible, and we can't talk to each other anymore."
Chen Jingyan said nothing.
When he looked at Yun Qiao, he had a lot of bad ideas in his mind.
Women, it's common for them to say one thing and mean another.
She said words of disgust towards him, but when she really sat on him, she hugged his neck and called him husband.
Yun Qiao could clearly see what Chen Jingyan was thinking. Because what he was thinking was too obscene, Yun Qiao's face turned red subconsciously.
Chen Jingyan picked up some food for Yun Qiao and put it in her bowl.
"Why are you even more shameless after this trip? You don't even pick up food when you eat?"
Yun Qiao glared at Chen Jingyan again.
Ruoruo was giggling, but when she saw that her brothers and sisters didn't dare to laugh, she immediately stopped laughing and started eating seriously.
Everyone had different thoughts while eating this dinner.
Chao Nian and Mu Nian thought that if their mother went out again, their father would definitely go with her. Then they would be the only ones left at home, and their younger brothers and sisters would definitely need them to take care of them.
It's really difficult.
Nian Nian was thinking that her father and mother had a very good relationship.
Ruoruo thought that her adoptive father's expression when he was trying to please her adoptive mother was so funny. She had never seen such a adoptive father before.
Also, my stepmother seems to have become younger after going out...
Yes, that’s youth.
It's a kind of youth that can't be seen from age or skin condition, but the kind that makes her whole body look young.
After dinner, Yun Qiao was not in a hurry to go back to the house with Chen Jingyan.
She chatted with the children in the yard, talking about the places Yunqiao had been to, the people she had met, and the things that had happened.
"...One time, we encountered a heavy rainstorm. Taozi and I couldn't find a place to stay, so we parked the carriage in the woods. No one dared to sleep, fearing wild animals, poisonous insects, or even people."
"It was too bright to wait, and the rain was still falling. But what made us feel good was that there were a lot of mushrooms growing around our carriage."
"Xiaotao and I found a lot of mushrooms and made mushroom soup. It tasted authentic and delicious."
Yun Qiao paused, and Ruoruo immediately said, "Mother, what happened next? Why did you go out?"
"Of course, it was dawn later, and my mother and Aunt Xiaotao drove away, right?" Nian Nian said.
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Later, we met a hunter who was hunting in the mountains. He helped us pull the carriage out. After the rain, the road was muddy and difficult to walk on. The hunter used his great strength to pull our carriage out."
"He has a wife and a pair of children at home. The girl is about the same age as Ruoruo. The mother and daughter cook for us."
"We stayed at the hunter's house for two days, left some money, and then left."
Nian Nian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my mother would meet a hunter in the forest. It's really fate."
"Yes, when you go out, you may meet people of all status, whether they are royal relatives or ordinary people. Each person you meet will give you a different feeling."
"Mother only met good people," said Ruoruo.
Yun Qiao said softly, "Not entirely. For example, half a month after we left Kyoto, we passed by a mountain and were robbed by bandits there..."
However, Chen Jingyan's guards later appeared and rescued them.
Yunqiao and Xiaotao continued to move forward.
The guards were responsible for cleaning up the mess and escorting them away quickly. It was unlikely to wipe out all the robbers on that hill unless government forces were mobilized.
But later when I passed by that hill again, I heard that the bandits had surrendered.
As for where he went, Yun Qiao had no idea.
When Chen Jingyan came over, Yun Qiao was already talking until her mouth was dry.
He said it was getting late and everyone should go back and rest.
"Listen to your father, it's time to rest." Yun Qiao said, yawning, "I'm tired too."
Hearing Yun Qiao say that she was tired too, Chaonian and Munian called their brother to leave and rest, and Nian Nian also took Ruoruo away.
