Jiang Qi arrived home before lunch. When the two children saw her, they looked at her with pitiful expressions.
"What's wrong? Missing your mother?"
"Hmm, why did it take you so long to come back, Mother? My little brother has been crying for ages."
Anran felt sorry for her younger brother; the little guy had been crying for a long time and she couldn't soothe him.
"I'm sorry, Mom, please come back sooner next time."
Jiang Qi hugged An Ran first, then reached out and hugged An Kang. The little guy started nuzzling against her, wanting to nurse.
When the wet nurse saw that the mistress was about to breastfeed the young master, she took Anran out to play.
After Jiang Qi finished feeding her son, the little guy probably cried himself to sleep and fell asleep after he was full.
Jiang Qi placed the child in the cradle, covered him with a thin blanket, and gently opened the door to leave the room.
"Anran, are you hungry? Let's go see if lunch is ready."
"Okay, Mommy, my tummy is growling."
Anran took her mother's hand and they went to the kitchen together.
"Madam, Miss, lunch is ready. We can eat now."
The cook had already set the table, and Jiang Qi took An Ran to eat. Her husband hadn't returned yet; he must still be busy.
In the afternoon, she sent a message to Shuwen and Jiang Lan, saying that she was going to the prefectural city and needed to let them know.
After Jiang Qi got married, she didn't have much contact with Jiang Lan. The rift between the two sisters wasn't so easy to bridge.
It wasn't that Jiang Qi was holding a grudge; back then, Jiang Lan was ruthless and merciless in order to marry into a wealthy family, and she didn't care about sisterly affection at all.
She was really planning to go to a nunnery at that time; she couldn't bear to see her parents torn between two options.
Fortunately, she had her second brother and sister-in-law, who provided her with a place to stay and allowed her to experience the beauty of family affection.
This time, her second sister-in-law is pregnant. While she is happy, she is also worried, fearing that something bad might happen to her.
I'm also glad that my husband decided to return to the prefectural city. With him there, my second sister-in-law should be fine. She can also visit her from time to time, so she won't have to worry.
Jiang Qi thought about all sorts of random things for a long time before An Ran called her, which brought her back to her senses.
"Mom, I'm sleepy."
"Okay, Mom will take you to bed."
Jiang Qi took An Ran back to her room, and took the opportunity to see An Kang.
The little one was sleeping soundly, and Jiang Qi, holding An Ran, also drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Jiang Qi sent letters to both Shu Wen and Jiang Lan, informing them that her family was about to move to the prefectural city.
The aroma of braised meat wafts far and wide from Jiang Shuwen's food stall early in the morning.
"Shuwen, what's wrong, eldest sister?"
Li Qiuniang had just returned from taking Shao Kun to school when she saw the departing figure of her sister-in-law's servant.
"My eldest sister said that her family is moving to the prefectural city, and her brother-in-law's master sent a letter urging them to go back."
A few days ago, I received a letter from my parents saying that my second sister-in-law was pregnant with twins. My brother-in-law is probably anxious to go back and oversee things, since twins do carry some risks.
"I wonder how my second sister-in-law is doing. I miss her. Without her, I feel like I've lost my backbone."
Li Qiuniang really missed Mu Yi'an. She and her sister-in-law got along well, and she was used to asking her second sister-in-law about anything.
"Who says otherwise? Our food stall owes a lot to Second Sister-in-law. Once our business is doing even better, we've saved enough money, and we've trained enough people to work, we'll go to the prefectural city to take a look."
If we have a good opportunity, let's go to the prefectural city. The schools and food there are better than in the county town. Shao Kun and Shao Qiu will improve if they spend more time with Shao Ming and Shao Yun.”
Jiang Shuwen thought that if he had the means, he would also go to the prefectural city, so that at least his two children at home could have good role models and become better.
Jiang Shuwen and his wife silently calculated their savings and how long they would need to save before they could go to the prefectural city.
In the courtyard of the Zhou family's second young master.
Jiang Lan also received a letter from her sister, informing her that they were about to move to the prefectural city.
Jiang Lan touched her belly; she was almost six months pregnant, and her belly was already quite large.
Her parents went to the prefectural city, and they don't know if they will be able to come back when she gives birth.
Now, her older sister's family is leaving too. Her brother-in-law is a gynecological expert, and she was thinking of asking her second sister and brother-in-law to be there to oversee things during her delivery, just in case.
Unexpectedly, her sister is going to the prefectural city.
Jiang Lan couldn't sit still any longer. She called for her maids and servants, went to the main room, and told her mother-in-law that she was going to visit her sister.
"What brings you to your sister's house?"
“My sister wrote to me saying that her family is moving to the prefectural city, and I want to go and see them.”
"Move to the prefectural city? Fine, go ahead. Keep an eye on the second young mistress, make sure she doesn't bump into anything or get hurt," Zhou's mother said to the maids and servants behind Jiang Lan.
"Understood, Madam, we will take good care of the Second Young Mistress."
Jiang Lan received permission and went out with her maids and servants.
"Jiang Lan, why are you here? Your belly is so big. Does your mother-in-law feel comfortable letting you go out?"
"With maids and servants following us, what could possibly happen? Sister, if you're going to the prefectural city, where will you stay? Will you stay at Second Brother's house?"
Jiang Lan didn't understand why she would go to the prefectural city when she was running a perfectly good clinic in the county town.
“Your brother-in-law has a house in the prefectural city, so we will have a place to stay when we go back.”
Jiang Lan was taken aback. A house in the prefectural city?
“Your brother-in-law’s master and mistress miss the children and are urging us to go back. There are fellow disciples there, so if anything happens, they can help us.”
Jiang Qi knew that her master and mistress had no children of their own, so they could go back and keep the elderly couple company.
"Really? I didn't expect my brother-in-law's family to be so well-off. Going to the prefectural city is good too. My second brother and sister-in-law are there. They've been so good to you, they'll take care of you."
Jiang Lan's words were a little sour. She was still thinking about the dowry that her second brother and sister-in-law had prepared for her sister. It was one of a kind!
