Liang Zhichen added a lot of firewood to the kiln, making the room warm and cozy.
Dong Huiying untied her cloak, sitting cross-legged on the kang bed, not too far away, a child was sleeping soundly.
She looked at Wuwang’s adorable sleeping face, gently prodding his chubby cheek with her fingertip.
Before, she hadn’t thought in this direction, only felt a sense of familiarity when seeing the child. But now she looked again and found that the child’s features bore so resemblance to hers, to Yixuan’s, and most of all to her mouth.
Thinking of Yixuan, she sighed lightly.
After tucking the blanket around Wuwang, she deftly stepped down. She had to check on Lao San because it worried her that he hadn’t woken up yet. When she ca out of the room, she saw Yixuan standing outside the door.
"Hmph!" She turned her head, then called Zhichen.
Liang Zhichen approached his wife, who looked disdainfully at Yixuan, then instructed Zhichen to keep an eye on Wuwang, lest Yixuan sneak off with him.
Yixuan: "......" Looks like I’ve been treated like a thief by my wife?
After his wife went to Third Brother’s room, he covered his face and sighed.
Zhichen looked at the "untactful" Little Liu in the family with a smile, "This is what they call reaping what you sow."
Yixuan: "..." That hurts, big brother!
Earlier, when Shu Yu was criticizing Yixuan, Zhichen heard it all. Shu Yu said things that could and couldn’t be said, and as the big brother, Zhichen was more than happy to sit and watch the drama unfold with leisure.
He himself had been laughed at by his brothers in the past, even Lao San, that frivolous one, once approached him with two durians, attempting to have him kneel on them as punishnt. At that ti, he was much like Yixuan now, a bit at a loss, flustered and overwheld. Though if this happened to him, he would indeed be very anxious, but as a spectator, he was quite looking forward to what might happen between his wife and Yixuan next.
From his wife’s attitude, it’s clear that even the little wife has a temper and doesn’t intend to forgive Yixuan so easily.
Zhichen patted Yixuan’s shoulder, "Keep trying!"
Then he entered the room with a smile, standing guard over Little Wuwang in place of his wife. He stared at Little Wuwang’s face, raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself about the life fruit, which is a great thing, but he had forgotten about it before.
Since Yixuan has found it, once they finish disaster relief and return to Pingchang Prefecture, having children should be prioritized.
With Yixuan taking the lead, these big brothers can’t fall too far behind, can they?
Dong Huiying went to Shujun’s House. With those magical ointnts she concocted, the injuries Shujun suffered during the earthquake were healed, at least no traces were visible externally.
Worriedly, she felt Shujun’s wrist, asuring his pulse, when Shujun woke up.
He groggily opened his eyes, pouted, "Wife, I’m in pain~~~~" His lips twitched, Dong Huiying patted his head, "You’ve worked hard."
Shujun looked around, realizing this was the room he had once stayed in at Purple Garden, "I seem to have experienced an earthquake. What about Lao Si and Little Wu? Are they okay? Also, I think I saw Yixuan earlier. I didn’t see his face clearly, but that person wore white clothes and felt a lot like Yixuan."
Dong Huiying told him not to worry and explained the past events, to which Shujun let out a long sigh. As long as Lao Si and Little Wu are fine.
But then he ground his teeth, "Little Liu, that brat can’t be let off so easily, no matter what! I’ve hoarded durians for years; they can’t go to waste, they have to be put to use, otherwise my heart won’t be at ease!"
