Of the three, Bai Li is the youngest. Although she is still a bit immature, she has delicate and pretty features, and she is no slouch when it comes to fighting.
Especially after following her, he has gained a lot of practical experience, and his combat skills have increased dramatically. He is now more experienced than before.
Although she was an assassin, she was not very worldly-wise. She was very naive and would be devoted to whoever treated her well, which explains why Wang Houde took such good care of her.
Considering that Wang Houde is not young, it would be a wonderful thing if the two of them could really get together.
Putting aside their ages, let's talk about their personalities.
Wang Houde is steady, resourceful, meticulous, and caring, which perfectly complements Bai Li's naivety and lack of social skills.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the two were actually quite well-matched.
Bai Li became flustered when she saw that she had been staring at her for a long time. "W-what's wrong?" But what had she done wrong?
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong snapped out of her thoughts, smiled, and waved to her, "Bai Li, come here."
Bai Li stepped forward as instructed, "Vice Building Master."
There was no one else in the room, so she couldn't help but change how she addressed them.
"Sit down, don't be shy," Wen Nongnong said with a smile.
"Yes." Bai Li sat down in the chair next to her.
Lü Qiao brought over tea and snacks.
Wen Nongnong moved the snacks closer to her. "Eat up, Aunt Li made them."
Bai Li did as she was told and took a piece of pastry, eating it in small bites.
"What do you think of Eunuch Wang?" Wen Nongnong asked directly after taking a sip of water.
Bai Li paused for a moment, then frowned. "Good, and bad."
"What do you mean by good and bad? So is it good or bad?" Wen Nongnong chuckled.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Bai Li moved closer and lowered her voice, saying, "I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone else."
Wen Nong Nong lowered her voice cooperatively, "You tell me first."
Green Beauty leaned closer to listen.
Bai Li glanced at her, then suddenly coughed lightly, "On the day Lü Qiao and Si Yi got married, I saw that Eunuch Wang was carrying an erotic book in his arms."
Wen Nongnong and Lü Qiao looked at each other in bewilderment.
The former remained relatively calm, after all, she knew that Wang Houde was not a real eunuch, but Lü Qiao stared in astonishment.
She couldn't understand why a eunuch who had lost his roots would still read those erotic books. Didn't he feel uncomfortable?
"So, this is what you wanted to talk about outside just now?" After a long while, Lü Qiao asked.
"Hmm." Bai Li nodded. "Isn't it strange? It's really unexpected that someone who seems so upright would have that kind of hobby. He even lied and said it was for Si Yi, what utter nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong couldn't help but glance at Lü Qiao.
Lu Qiao paused, not understanding how Wang Houde's reading of erotic books had been linked to Si Yi. Moreover, she felt that the young lady's glance had some hidden meaning.
“You don’t understand. Some men are more serious on the surface, but more indecent in private,” Wen Nongnong said.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao and Bai Li asked in unison, "Is the Prince actually quite improper in private?"
Wen Nongnong paused for a moment, "I was talking about other people, like Eunuch Wang and Si Yi. Our Prince is not that kind of person."
Lü Qiao wanted to refute, but thinking of what happened on her wedding day, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Seeing her face turn red, Wen Nongnong smiled wryly, about to tease her, when a servant rushed in excitedly.
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong was overjoyed and abruptly stood up, excitedly asking, "Is what you're saying true?"
"It's absolutely true, the Duke of Jingguo has come too," the servant said with a beaming smile.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong quickly walked outside.
Seeing this, Lüqiao and Granny Ding hurriedly followed to help her.
"Miss, please slow down, there's no rush."
How could Wen Nongnong not be anxious? She had been looking forward to the Empress Dowager coming to Xiangzhou, and the day had finally arrived. She was overjoyed.
"Granny Ding, quickly take some people to prepare the best courtyard for the Empress Dowager to live in. Also, pick a few clever maids to serve her." She instructed as she walked.
“Yes,” Granny Ding replied immediately.
Wen Nongnong, holding Lü Qiao's hand, had just reached the front yard when she saw the Empress Dowager walking in surrounded by a crowd.
Xiao Yan walked on the other side of the Empress Dowager, feeling secretly anxious.
When he met Nong Nong, the lie he had A Tuo and Jiang Hua tell would be exposed.
How is he going to explain this to his older sister?
My older sister has been hoping that Nong Nong would get pregnant. How disappointed she will be when she finds out that she is not pregnant?
Just as he was thinking about whether to rehearse with Wen Nongnong beforehand and have her pretend to be pregnant, he saw a heavily pregnant woman walking towards him.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the person who came was Wen Nongnong, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Nephew's wife, you really are pregnant?"
Upon hearing the voice, Wen Nongnong knew it was Xiao Yan.
It's true what they say: old habits die hard.
Even though they're not that much older, they always try to gain the upper hand verbally.
"You wouldn't be hiding a pillow under your clothes, would you?" Xiao Yan said in a very irritating way.
Wen Nong Nong rolled her eyes at him, "It's been months, and Uncle still loves to joke around."
"As long as it's not a pillow, that's fine." Xiao Yan smiled so much that his eyes almost squinted into slits.
Now he doesn't have to think about how to explain it to his older sister.
Wen Nongnong ignored him, quickened her pace, and went to the Empress Dowager's side. She grasped her hand and said excitedly, "Mother, I've finally been waiting for you. You must have had a hard journey."
When the Empress Dowager stepped into the Prince's residence, she was already quite excited because she was about to see Wen Nong Nong. Seeing her prominently pregnant belly, she was overjoyed.
It must have been six or seven months, right?
“Good child…” She held Wen Nong Nong’s hand tightly, her eyes a little wet.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong gently put her arm around her shoulder and said considerately, "Mother, you must be tired from your journey. I have already had the courtyard tidied up. You should rest for a while, and we can talk properly after you have rested."
"Good, good, good," the Empress Dowager said three times.
Just as Wen Nongnong was about to help the Empress Dowager inside to rest, a resentful voice sounded from behind, "Nongnong, I've been standing here for so long, how come you can't see me?"
Wen Nongnong was startled and turned around abruptly. When she saw A Tuo and Jiang Hua, she thought she was seeing things.
"Don't blink, you're not seeing things, it really is this barbarian woman," Xiao Yan teased from the side.
When Atuo Jianghua heard this, she immediately kicked him, saying, "You're the barbarian."
Xiao Yan's eye twitched. "So rude, what else could she be but a barbarian woman?"
Atuo Jianghua rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not going to argue with a barbarian like you."
As Wen Nongnong watched the two bickering back and forth, she sensed for some reason that there was something fishy going on between them.
"Nongnong, I've missed you so much!" Atuo Jianghua stepped forward and gave her a hug.
Wen Nongnong also reached out and hugged her, "I missed you too, thank goodness you came."
