Chapter 192: The Heng Family’s Worry
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ilan Qiao laughed as she spoke.
She sat up and laughed so hard that she was trembling.
“Aren’t I smart?”
Heng Yi pinched Han Qiao’s face.
She was well rested now. Her face was fair and tender, and her complexion was good. She was in good spirits. When she smiled, her eyes were very bright.
It was as if the entire sky was filled with stars.
Heng Yi fondly pinched Han Qiao’s face, then pinched it again.
He was half-propped up, looking a little lazy and seductive.
Han Qiao grabbed his hand and leaned over to kiss his face.
Then, the two people who were originally having a heart-to-heart talk kissed.
Duan Yue and Shulan quickly left the room.
They had never seen such a good couple.
Whenever the couple were together, the air was full of happiness.
When the two of them hugged each other and panted, Han Qiao let out a sigh of relief.
“Heng Yi, you are now the chief constable. If you want to go up, you will have to go to Chenzhou.”
“Yes.” Heng Yi nodded.
“Almost. I think County Magistrate Wu wants to bring me along.”
Han Qiao pondered for a moment, “Is he going to be promoted too?”
“Almost.”
County Magistrate Wu was promoted. If he brought Heng Yi to Chenzhou, Han Qiao would naturally follow him. She would have to open a shop there and do business.
“How’s Big Brother Hu’s business?”
Third Brother Hu said that he wanted to open a broker’s shop in the county town. He had already bought the shop, but he had yet to come.
“I’ll ask when the time comes.”
Han Qiao grunted, “Did something happen? If you have the time, you can go and see what your parents have done.”
“Dong Lai hasn’t returned yet, so we don’t know what happened. Don’t let them use your name to bully others.”
They were even more vicious than Han Xiang.
“Yes.”
After talking for a while, Han Qiao felt a little tired and yawned, “1’11 sleep for a while.”
“Go to sleep.” Heng Yi gently rubbed Han Qiao’s temples.
Han Qiao was in a bad mood after sitting in the carriage for half a day. She shared her love with Heng Yi and fell asleep peacefully.
Heng Yi wanted to sleep for a while but overheard what Duan Yue said to Shulan at the door, “Sister Shulan, Dong Lai is back. He wants to see Master and Madam.”
Shulan glanced into the room.
Meeting Master and Madam at this time?
Heng Yi got up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the house.
“I’m going over, but don’t disturb the Madam.”
“Yes.” Duan Yue and Shulan immediately responded.
Heng Yi’s actions were truly dignified.
When they reached the front hall, Dong Lai immediately reported what he heard to Heng Yi.
“When this servant arrived at Ninghe Town, 1 went to the Broker’s Shop first. Old Master Hu’s health is declining and he seems to be dying. Third Master Hu told this servant that Old Master Heng and Old Lady Heng were boasting to people in town, saying that you have made a great contribution and are now a chief constable. They said that you will be promoted in the future. They used your reputation and said that they can send people to the government office to work.”
“This servant heard that they have visited several families and they all gave them three or five taels.”
“In Heng Family Village, a few masters used your identity and background to bully a family in the village, forcing them to kowtow and admit their mistakes.”
“The specific reason is that the eldest master’s child wants to marry a certain family’s daughter, but that family doesn’t agree…”
It was not uncommon for people to bully others.
Heng Yi didn’t show his anger. He just asked Dong Lai to prepare the carriage and horse. He wanted to go there himself.
He called Bai Cha and Housekeeper Liu over, “I’m going to Ninghe Town. Please take care of my family.”
“Yes, Master.”
Before Heng Yi left, he went back to the main courtyard to see Han Qiao. Seeing her sleeping with pink cheeks and peaceful breathing, his heart softened.
She shouldn’t be cleaning up the Heng family.
He had to do this himself.
On the way to Ninghe Town, Dong Lai had wanted to ask Heng Yi several times but decided not to open his mouth.
Heng Yi rode the horse himself, while Dong Lai drove the carriage.
When they arrived at Ninghe Town, the sky was almost dark.
Heng Yi first went to visit Third Brother Hu.
Father Hu had accidentally caught a cold last year. At first, he also called a doctor, but he could not completely cure him. At the beginning of the year, he kept coughing and even coughing up blood. Now, the doctor had left word that he did not have much time left.
Heng Yi came to visit, and Father Hu immediately recognized him.
He called Heng Yi forward.
“You look good, and your clothes are neat. I heard that you are now the chief constable. *Cough, cough, cough* Good, very good. You have a good wife.” “Why didn’t you send a letter to me?” Heng Yi asked Third Brother Hu.
“You’re so busy, but Father doesn’t let me go. He says it’s not easy for you.” Third Brother Hu said as he wiped his face.
“The doctors in the county are better than those in the town,” Heng Yi said.
“I know. I’ve invited a doctor from the county town. My father even ate the food at Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant and praised the taste. No wonder business is so good.”
Third Brother Hu was quite relieved.
He had been filial all these years, and his wife had served him with all her heart. His father had also said that this life was worth it and that he had not come to this world in vain.
The doctor had also said that there were not many days left, so he naturally could not leave, lest he would not be able to see Heng Yi in the end.
“Brother, I’m sorry. 1 haven’t been able to go to the county town for so long. Why don’t…” Third Brother Hu was very apologetic.
“It’s okay. I’ll wait for you.” Heng Yi said.
“Your wife didn’t say anything?”
No one would be happy to see the shop empty.
“No, she’s not a petty or calculative person.”
Third Brother Hu looked at Heng Yi.
He sized him up.
He was not dressed in luxurious clothes, but his clothes were clean and tidy. He wore a jade crown, and the aura he exuded was worlds apart from before.
It had only been half a year.
Han Qiao knew how to raise people.
“My father is right. You have married the right wife. Look at how moist you are. Your face is ruddy and your bearing is extraordinary. It would not be an exaggeration to say that you are a noble young master.”
Heng Yi said nothing.
Han Qiao took care of his daily necessities.
What to wear and eat was all arranged by Han Qiao.
He liked and cherished this kind of life.
He was loved, cared for, and worried for. Of course, he also loved, cared for, and missed Han Qiao.
“Tell me about the Heng family.”
Speaking of this, Third Brother Hu sat up straight, “Your parents are outrageous. They took so much money in your name and said that you could arrange for those people to enter the government office, including Minister Lin… You came here to handle this situation, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then you have to handle it well. If this matter is not handled well, it will have a huge impact on you.”
“Yes, that’s why 1 came here personally.”
Third Brother Hu didn’t ask what Heng Yi was going to do. He could tell that Heng Yi was a different genius from last year.
“Stay at my place tonight. Let’s have a drink together. Accompany my father and talk to him. He has always been thinking about you. After meeting him this time, there might not be a next time…”
“Alright.”
Heng Yi didn’t refuse.
Uncle Hu had treated him well in the past.
“I’ll go to Master Wan’s place in a while and then come back.”
“Alright.”
Heng Yi didn’t go to Master Wan’s place empty-handed. He brought wine, candy, and dried fruits.
Master Wan was pleasantly surprised to see Heng Yi. He quickly invited him into the house. “Stay here tonight. Let my wife cook a few more dishes.”
“I’ll stay at the Hu family’s house tonight. Uncle Hu’s health isn’t very good, so I’ll stay there to accompany him.”
Master Wan hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Alright.”
Speaking of Heng Yi, who was now the chief constable, he had to work hard.
Don’t be arrogant. Your future is limitless.
He couldn’t help but talk about Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng.
“I’ll settle this matter tomorrow.”
Master Wan acknowledged, “Is your wife pregnant now?”
“Yes, it’s been two months.”
“That’s good. You’ve suffered for so many years, and now it’s finally over. Live
well and don’t let her down..”
