Chapter 60(1/2)
When Zhao Yunting stepped into Rongshou Hall with no expression on his face, the grandma was about to send his maid out to find someone. Seeing that his son finally came, the grandma asked unhappily: "The whole room is waiting for you to come and have dinner. Where are you doing?"
Everyone looked at Zhao Yunting.
Zhao Yunting's expression slowed down and bowed his head to apologize, "My son was napping in the house and got up late. Please calm down his anger."
Aji couldn't help but lower her head, with her lips slightly raised. My father-in-law really knows how to lie. Zhao Chen is so good at lying, right?
The lady glanced at the direction where Changsun was and snorted coldly at the end of her nose.
Take a nap? He fell asleep. Could it be that all the followers around him were dead? I don’t know how to remind the Marquis when the time comes. He must have gone to Ning’s side to please the people again. Tonight is the big night. How could he not comfort him, given his son’s emphasis on Ning’s family?
As so many people watched, it was another happy day. The lady didn't want to make a fuss, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, sit down quickly, Cheng'an's mother, hurry up and order the kitchen to prepare food."
The latter sentence is said to Qin, and Cheng'an is the word "Zhao Yuntingxin" for Zhao Han. The three sons of the Zhao family are all "Zhao" for ten years.
Ziying, who was beside Qin, had already gone out to pass the meal. Qin's beautiful eyes looked at her husband sitting opposite him with affectionate eyes. She was not looked back for a long time. She was a little disappointed, but thinking that Zhao Yunting would definitely go to her tonight, she quickly threw this disappointment behind her. The table was too quiet, and Qin's intention to liven up the atmosphere to please her husband's mother-in-law, and her eyes fell on Aji, and she smiled and said, "This year, Chengyuan and his wife will be much more lively in the New Year's Eve dinner. When Chengyuan's wife gives birth to a fat boy next year, our Marquis's mansion will become more and more lively."
She was saying auspicious words, and Aji couldn't do anything like Zhao Chen, he turned a deaf ear to what Qin said, so he lowered his head and pretended to be ashamed.
The Zhao family’s population is not very prosperous, with only two legitimate grandchildren. The grandmother still values her great-grandson generation very much. She calculated her mind and asked Aji: “You have been married to Chengyuan for two months. Haven’t there any movement yet?”
Just as Zhao Chen was about to speak, Zhao Yunting coughed first and lowered his voice: "Mother, you tell your grandson-in-law these words privately that Chengwen and the others are not young anymore. Besides, Chengyuan and the others get married for a short time, so don't worry about their children." The wife has a difficult constitution. They only got their eldest son the second year of marriage, but they never got pregnant again in a few years. In the past ten years of separation, they were separated and it was normal to be infertile. However, now they are together again. I wonder if their wife will be pregnant with another one?
Of course, the more children he and her, the better.
The lady knew that she had made up her words and glared at Qin. If Qin hadn't talked too much, she wouldn't have been scolded by her son.
Qin lowered her eyes aggrievedly and made up her mind to stop talking again. Recently, the grandma of the grandma had complaints about her. Qin knew that this was that she had no support from the Duke's Mansion. The grandma wanted to show her mother-in-law's poem to her, so she wouldn't talk, so she wouldn't say anything, so that she would be wrong.
The food was served, and the whole family silenced to eat amid the sound of firecrackers.
Aji had already eaten it, and picked up two chopsticks to pretend. Most of the time, he looked at the dumplings in the bowl and thought of his parents and younger brothers and sisters in the distance. Zhao Chen saw his wife's longing. Although he felt distressed, he was helpless. The distance was too far, and his wife could not even go back to her parents' home.
Aware of his worried gaze, Aji smiled at Zhao Chen from afar. It is inevitable that he will feel in love with the scene, and he is not too sad. She is already very lucky to be so kind to her.
After dinner, the group moved to the pavilion in the garden to watch the fireworks.
It is logical that boys like to join in the fun, lit firecrackers and set off fireworks, and ran around. However, there is no naughty young master in the Zhao family. Zhao Chen is already married, so naturally he can't do such things. Zhao Qing can play or not. In previous years, he would play with Zhao Han and Zhao Yi for a while. This year, Qin was worried that Zhao Chen would use his bad luck to keep Zhao Han tightly by his side, and Zhao Han was not allowed to touch those things that were prone to accidents. Zhao Yi was chatting with Aji's sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Zhao Qing was happy and talked with Zhao Chen to Zhao Yunting.
The men placed seats outside the pavilion, and the women sat in the pavilion.
Except for Zhao Han.
He sat alone in the corner of the pavilion covered with padded pavilion. He did not go out to find his brother, nor stayed obediently beside Qin. Instead, he sat with his back to the pavilion, tilting his head to stare at the night sky, occasionally fireworks rose into the sky, illuminating the loneliness in the boy's eyes.
The eldest brother didn't like him, and Zhao Han understood it very well. His mother's grandfather's family had done so many things to do to him. How could he ask his eldest brother to treat him without any grudges? But what could he do? Qin is his mother. No matter how bad she is, she will give birth to him. She is the mother who will hold him and cry and feed him medicine when he is sick.
He just hoped that he would grow up quickly, get fame and fortune in the exam and strive to be released, and then took his mother to take office, leaving the Marquis' Mansion to his father and elder brother's family. He was originally redundant and shouldn't have appeared in the Zhao family.
On the stone table not far from him, the madam asked about Aju's son again. Because the men stood outside, she was not polite to speak: "My wife in Chengyuan, I know that you have few concubines in the countryside, but since you have married into the Marquis' Mansion, you should follow the customs. Looking at the entire capital, there are a few who have some identities, even your father-in-law, don't you have two concubines? Let me tell you, if you take a concubine for Chengyuan, outsiders will praise you for being tolerant and appear to have the temperament of your mistress. If you have any health problems, Chengyuan will not have no descendants."
Aji lowered her head and said respectfully: "What my grandmother said was that I was ignorant at the beginning and my husband was good, so I made such a guarantee to me. Afterwards, I also felt that it was inappropriate, especially when my grandmother gave Muli for my goodness last time, she failed her kindness. I have been persuading my husband these days, but my husband refused to listen to me. If he got angry with me for more times, I wouldn't dare to do so. Grandma Don't worry, I will find an opportunity to mention it to my husband later and add a few more people to my husband, so that I can get a branch for the Zhao family as soon as possible."
Who can't say good things? Without Zhao Chen reminding her to make her blush, she also knows what to do.
The lady stared at her suspiciously, "What do you think so?"
Aji nodded, looked at her embarrassedly, and whispered: "Grandma Lao has trouble."
The lady said nothing.
Qin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's right for you to think so. Besides, men are all fond of the old and old. Don't look at how good Chengyuan is to you now. After a long time, I will definitely think of others. Instead of waiting for him to steal food on your back, you will take the initiative to arrange it for him. He still remembers your kindness. Aji, I know Chengyuan has complaints about me, but after so many years, am I still his legitimate mother? If he doesn't appreciate my affection, I will tell you something in my heart. I'm happy that you two have a good life."
Aji didn't say anything. The grandmother of the grandmother was Zhao Chen's biological grandmother. It's nothing to do if Qin Shi pretended to be a fool?
Qin's self-indulgence was boring, and no longer lowered his identity and talked to a village girl, looking out of the pavilion with anticipation.
There stood her husband.
Ten years have passed, and the style of a man in his forties has increased. The fireworks illuminated his cold side face. I don’t know what he said to his two sons, but he suddenly smiled, his handsomeness, which made her heart deeper.
Qin began to hope that everyone would end soon.
For the sake of tonight, she carefully prepared a set of underwear and the hot water for bathing was ready. She used to be ashamed to lower her figure in such matters, but Zhao Yunting hadn't come here for too long. She had to let him remember her goodness. She didn't believe that he was a strong and strong man, and he really didn't like that kind of thing.
As time passed, the bustling on the street faded a little.
When the second update of the chung was ringing, Zhao Chen entered the pavilion and said to the lady: "Grandma, I feel a little uncomfortable and I want to go back first. It's late at night, so grandma should go back early, don't be frozen."
This is a nice saying. Even though I know that Changsun is most likely feeling sorry for his wife to accompany her here, the lady is still very helpful in her heart. She waved her hand to Aji and said, "Well, I'll leave after sitting for a while. Chengyuan's wife, please help Chengyuan back quickly and take good care of her at night."
Aji stood up obediently, and the couple said goodbye to Mrs. Tai and left side by side.
Qin couldn't help but show joy, raised his hand to cover up the smile on his lips, and then said to the lady: "Mom, why don't we send you back now?"
How can the Grandma not know Qin’s thoughts?
If it comes to disgust, neither daughter-in-law will win her heart, but Qin is at least obedient. She is willing to help her make trouble for Ning, so as not to become more and more arrogant.
So the lady nodded and said to Zhao Yunting who led Zhao Qing into the pavilion: "It's getting late, let the children go back to the room first. You and your wife will send me back to Rongshou Hall." She gave Qin a chance. If Qin could not pull her son into her house like this, she would have to blame her for being stupid and stupid.
Qin glanced at her husband and stood up with the wife.
Zhao Yunting called Zhao Han to his side, asked a few questions, and then asked the two brothers to leave first.
He stood on the left side of the Madam, and together with Qin, he sent Madam back.
After coming out of Rongshoutang, Qin sent off the maid he followed, followed Zhao Yunting quickly, and spoke to him softly: "Mr. Marquis, our family is reunited this year. Mom is very happy."
Zhao Yunting didn't make a sound, and his tall figure seemed cold and ruthless in the hazy light.
Qin felt sad. She knew that the man didn't like her to talk. She shut up aggrievedly. However, when she found that Zhao Yunting did not turn to Weifangyuan but headed straight to the front yard, her heart suddenly sank. After a while, she stood there, she no longer cared whether he liked it. She ran a few steps to stop Zhao Yunting and asked him in panic: "Does the Marquis go to the front yard to get things? It's so late, let the maids go there. The Marquis go with me to Weifangyuan first to wash up?"
Zhao Yunting finally looked at her.
Qin's family obviously dressed up carefully. The lights of the mansion were bright and the fireworks suddenly bloomed in the distance could not be ignored. At this moment, she looked at him expectantly and fearfully, as if she was trapped on the edge of a cliff. If he walked with her, she would be saved. If he parted ways with her, she would fall down.
With that look, Zhao Yunting suddenly thought of himself.
Is his eyes the same when he looks at his wife? And in his eyes, is his persistence also ridiculous?
He could trample on Qin's feelings at will, and his wife could treat him the same way.
He looked down on Qin Shi, and his wife refused to take care of him.
Perhaps in terms of love, he is as pitiful as Qin...
No, different, Qin Shi was stupid. She only liked his appearance, but he longed for everything about his wife. Qin Shi was not worthy of comparing with him at all.
The confusion in Zhao Yunting's eyes flashed, and his eyes fell on the shady house in front of him, "Go back, I'll go back to the front yard to rest. Not only tonight, I will not go to any of your house again in the future. Qin, I know you are unwilling to accept it, but this is what you asked for. From now on, you are my nominal wife, Cheng'an's mother, and the wife of the Marquis of Yanping. I will not give you anything except these."
The cold and heartless voice was even cooler than the cold wind on the night of the cold lunar month. Qin felt cold all over and couldn't help trembling.
"Mr. Marquis, wait!"
Qin rushed to Zhao Yunting like crazy, and was thrown away by Zhao Yunting. She hugged his legs again, holding her tears in tears: "Why did you treat me like this? Yes, I forced you back then, but you and I have been married for ten years, and now the Duke's Mansion has also been defeated, why can't you forgive me? For Han'er, Marquis, please give me another chance? Marquis, I beg you, I don't ask for anything, the uncle doesn't like me, I will never go to him again, I respect him, just beg him not to ignore me, I am only twenty-six years old, Marquis, how can you let me be a widow?"
She wanted to reason, Zhao Yunting didn't kick her away for the time being, looked down at the woman with disheveled hair and asked, "Why can't you? Lan Rong went there three years younger than you. She has been under the ground for so many years. How can you be better than her? Why can't you live alone? Qin Shi, I will tell you the last time, be your wife, I guarantee Chengan Anran to be fine. If you have any wrong thoughts, don't blame me for not even Chengan!"
After saying that, he raised his legs and wanted to break free from Qin's family. Qin's family held him unwillingly. Zhao Yunting was no longer polite and shook his all, leaving without looking back.
Qin curled up and hid under the bushes on one side, covered her face and started crying.
It turned out that he had been thinking about that woman, the woman who had been dead for ten years.
However, he had given birth to a son with her and accepted a maid next to her as his concubine. Why didn't he want to touch her now?
Is it because the woman's son is back?
still……
Qin's tears suddenly stopped. She moved her hand to her nose. It was the fragrance of peony hand cream she used to use. But just now, she hugged Zhao Yunting, she clearly smelled the scent of orchids. Zhao Yunting did not like incense in clothes, and had the scent of orchids on her body. This only means that he went to a place with such fragrance today, or touched a woman with orchids...
Qin slowly sat up, and she thought of Zhao Yunting's late arrival at the dinner. Such a grand day had never been late in previous years.
Mrs. Rong?
Qin Shi grabbed her hand with hatred.
After returning to the main courtyard, Zhao Yunting changed his clothes before entering the secret passage.
Xinlanyuan was not far from here, and he soon came to the end. He could enter her room just by turning the round handle on the door.
But Zhao Yunting did not go over immediately. He blew out the lantern in his hand, placed it on one side, then leaned against the door, staring blankly in the darkness.
He was a little afraid to see her, and he went crazy at her in the evening, afraid that she would be angry.
In fact, he hoped that she would get angry. Any emotion was better than the calm and calmness that seemed gentle but was actually alienated.
If, if he stood here for a night, could she really fall asleep peacefully?
As soon as the thought came, Zhao Yunting shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was stupid and would use this method to try her. What if she really couldn't sleep?
Maybe my wife just doesn’t believe him. When he retires Qin, she will feel at ease?
Hope surged in his heart again, and Zhao Yunting turned his hand and walked in.
The room was pitch black.
Zhao Yunting didn't think much about it. She was already very tired when she left and it was normal to sleep. She took off her clothes in the dark. Zhao Yunting put her clothes on the edge of the kang and went up to lift her quilt.
"Marquis?" The alert voice was also accompanied by the sleepiness he had just woken up.
Zhao Yunting suddenly wanted to tease her, but she didn't say anything, so she pressed her forward. She hid to the side, but soon obeyed again. Zhao Yunting felt funny, kissed her face, and asked in a low voice: "Are you not afraid that I am a bad person?" But she was happy that she could recognize herself.
To be continued...
