BXBX NOVEL Chapter 330 - 330: Lishu
How could Heng Yi know about this?
He only knew that his wife was in charge of tonight’s meal, and he loved to eat his wife’s cooking.
However, the weather was hot and the kitchen was very humid.
Going to the kitchen to cook a meal would cause him to sweat a lot. He would also be smoked and scalded by oil splashes. He could not bear to do so.
The food cooked by others was also very delicious.
“Do you want some more?” Heng Yi asked.
Master Feng smiled, “Bring in what you got,”
With just him and Heng Yi, it was much easier to prepare.
They drank some wine and ate some side dishes.
When Madam Feng, Feng Xinru, and Han Qiao came over, they chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere became livelier and more comfortable.
The children had something to talk about.
It was already late and none of them wanted to go home.
Feng Xinru’s family was staying at her mother’s house tonight, so they were not in a hurry to return. They simply let the children play and cultivate a good relationship.
Heng Yi was still a small boss now, and who would’ve thought he would be able to soar into the sky and amaze the world in two days?
Therefore, getting along well would only be good for the children.
Looking at Heng Yi, Master Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
How long had it been? He began as a hunter, and then all of a sudden he had become someone who was favored by the Emperor.
His future was limitless.
Who didn’t want to suck up to him?
He and Heng Yi had known each other for many years, and now they lived next door.
They naturally became closer.
Han Qiao could even hear He Cheng and Ah Yao’s giggles from the neighboring courtyard. She laughed along with them.
“These children get along very well,” Feng Xinru commented happily.
“It’s good to be happy at their carefree age.” Han Qiao said gently.
She also laughed.
When Master Feng and Heng Yi finished eating, the maids and old women came to clean the table.
After sending the adults out, the children still could play for a while longer.
He could just go back to the room next door later.
Han Qiao returned to the main courtyard to take a shower.
Heng Yi came in when she was halfway through his bath.
“You bad egg.”
Han Qiao’s soft voice came from the bathroom.
Then, he panted lightly…
When Ah-Yao was carried back, Han Qiao was lying on the bed lazily.
Heng Yi carried the small child to take a bath, put on clean clothes, and dried his hair on the bed.
His hair was not very thick, but it was very black and short. It felt like high-quality silk.
Heng Yi gently wiped his wet hair.
Ah-Yao lay in Flan Qiao’s arms, “What a wolf.”
“Are you sleepy?” Han Qiao hugged him and coaxed him gently.
The tired child quickly fell asleep.
She placed him on the small bed and he continued to sleep soundly.
“I’ll take care of Yao tonight.” Heng Yi massaged Han Qiao’s shoulders.
He was very attentive.
Han Qiao glared at him and covered herself with a thin blanket.
She was indeed tired and fell asleep very quickly.
Heng Yi looked at the sleeping mother and son, one on his left and one on his right, feeling incredibly happy.
Surrounded by happiness, he too, soon fell asleep.
Meanwhile, at the Feng household…
Feng Xinru asked softly, “Brother, what do you think? I’m thinking about Yi’an and Xiu’s marriage now…”
“Don’t mention it. It was fine to mention it earlier, but it’s not appropriate to mention it now. If the two children had feelings for each other, that would be another story.” Master Feng said.
“Then I’ll listen to you and not mention this matter. Let fate take its course.” Feng Xinru was quite open-minded.
The Luo family had come a few times, begging her to come back.
She was not stupid.
Only a fool would go back.
Nowadays, the children have a quiet place to study that could motivate them to be more hardworking.
She earned money every day, and the silver in her pocket gradually made her rich.
Then she connected with the Heng family…
“Big Brother, are we going to the capital in the future?” Feng Xinru asked.
“…” Master Feng was silent for a moment, “I think so.”
Since he was going to the capital, he had to save up money to buy a house there.
Buy some fields and villages near the area too.
The capital is big and difficult to live in.
It was impossible to live without money.
However, the best things in the world were in the capital, so they naturally yearned for it.
“Then we have to prepare. Now that I have some silver in my hands, I can buy a house. If Big Brother sends someone to the capital, help me take a look.”
“I’ll take advantage of this time to save up some more money.”
Feng Xinru didn’t have any particular requirements regarding her place to live, but for the sake of her children, she felt that she needed to take a long-term view.
“Xinru, don’t worry about this. Your big brother will handle it.” Madam Feng patted Feng Xinru’s hand.
She had a few sisters-in-law, but she hit off with Feng Xinru the most.
Feng Xinru was a straightforward, open-minded, smart, and capable person. She was very easy-going as well.
She also respected her as her sister-in-law.
Human hearts were made of flesh, and so was she.
Master Feng thought more than his wife and sister. He thought about the future of his children and grandchildren…
Emperor Zhao Qian came to see Heng Yi, and it was about time for him to return to the capital.
Before he left, he made a trip to the Gong Prince’s residence.
He drank with the Gong Prince.
The grudge between the brothers was not said out loud, but it was present in their hearts.
After eating together, Emperor Zhao Qian returned to the inn to rant to Defu, “People are indeed different.”
Defu didn’t dare to reply.
Soon, another one of his servants entered, “Emperor, the Gong Prince sent a woman over.”
Emperor Zhao Qian frowned.
“That man only knows how to do these unpresentable things all day long. Send her back…”
Emperor Zhao Qian said as he looked at the woman at the door.
But with just one glance, Emperor Zhao Qian frowned.
Because this woman was too similar to Zhen Ling’s mother, the only woman in his heart.
Emperor Zhao Qian looked at the timid woman in front of him, “Send her back.”
“Yes.”
When the woman heard that she was going to be sent away, she knelt on the ground with a thud.
“Please leave this servant behind, please.”
If she went back, where could she go?
A person like her, with her background, had nothing but a face.
No support, no freedom.
She did not want to be sent back and forth. She only wanted to live a stable life, but these were all luxuries for people like her.
She knew that the man in front of her was either rich or noble, so she had to hold on tightly.
“I beg you, don’t make me go back. If 1 go back…”
She may not be so lucky next time.
Emperor Zhao Qian stood on the spot.
The similarity of her face to the person that was carved into his memory and the tears streaming down her cheeks softened Emperor Zhao Qian’s heart.
“Get up.”
Defu immediately went to help the woman up.
Emperor Zhao Qian asked calmly, “What’s your name?”
“This servant’s name is Lishu.”
Emperor Zhao Qian was lucky to have Lishu, but he regretted it the next morning.
No matter how similar their faces were, their personalities were worlds apart.
Lishu also learned of Emperor Zhao Qian’s identity from the few words he said and became more cautious.
It was even more different from the woman in Emperor Zhao Qian’s heart.
On the twenty-ninth day of the fourth month, Emperor Zhao Qian met with the officials and their families at the inn.
Han Qiao was among them.
She was dressed up today, and Heng Yi looked handsome.
Because Emperor Zhao Qian was going to reward Heng Yi today, Heng Congshan had already informed them in advance to make preparations.
When Han Qiao arrived at the inn, all the madams were very enthusiastic and praised her from the moment she entered to the end. They simply praised her to the point that she felt she was the only one in the room.
Han Qiao felt a little embarrassed..
