Chapter 238: Terrified
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Heng Yi didn’t answer.
He looked at Old Man Heng so calmly that the older man’s scalp went numb, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
“Don’t say those kinds of idiotic words in the future,” Heng Yi lightly said, “Don’t say things that you don’t find embarrassing.”
He then said gently to Han Qiao, “You’ve been in the carriage for the whole day. Go lie down for a while.”
“Alright.” Han Qiao nodded.
Heng Yi helped Han Qiao into the main courtyard to rest.
Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng were left in the hall, staring at each other.
The two of them looked gloomy, but they did not dare to make a sound.
In this spacious and bright house, there was no place for them.
They thought that Heng Yi hadn’t completely cut ties with them. They thought they still had a chance to get on their good side.
In the main room.
Shulan came in with hot water. Heng Yi took it and helped Han Qiao wash her face, hands, and body.
“Wash your feet too.” Heng Yi said.
Recently, he especially liked to wash Han Qiao’s feet.
As for why, only he and Han Qiao knew.
Han Qiao glared at Heng Yi and nodded.
After washing her feet, Heng Yi massaged Han Qiao’s legs. At first, he was very serious, but later, she felt something was amiss.
Han Qiao opened her eyes drowsily and twitched her feet. Hearing Heng Yi’s muffled voice, she had no choice but to let him be.
A hot-blooded man…
Han Qiao sighed in her heart.
After this child was born, she could not get pregnant too early.
After a while, Heng Yi groaned.
Han Qiao tilted her head as she watched him get up to clean up and open the window.
The corners of her eyes and her eyebrows were red as she called out softly, “Heng Yi…”
Heng Yi looked at Han Qiao.
Her face was rosy, and her eyes and brows were filled with warmth that pulled him in.
He walked to the bed and hugged Han Qiao gently to kiss her.
Han Qiao responded to Heng Yi obediently.
The two of them especially enjoyed the quiet and warm moments when it was only the two of them.
Those annoying ‘flies’ had long been thrown to the back of their mind.
With each other and their home, they learned to let go and forget the past.
After leaving, the chances of meeting those people again in this life were slim, so why bother to remember?
After a long time, Han Qiao fell asleep.
Heng Yi smiled and tucked her into bed.
He then took their dirty clothes and put them in the bamboo basket. Some of them had to be thrown away.
Heng Yi left the main courtyard and planned to go to the kitchen to ask Aunt Zhao to prepare some light food. Han Qiao had been in the carriage for half a day and didn’t have much of an appetite, so he thought Han Qiao should eat something light.
Aunt Zhao quickly agreed, “Don’t worry, Master. 1 will prepare the meal.”
They ate a lot at this time of the year.
Heng Yi came out of the kitchen and saw Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng sneaking around the house.
“What are you doing?” Heng Yi said coldly.
The gentleness on her face instantly sank.
“Fifth Son, which room will your father and 1 stay in tonight?”
They also went to the two courtyards, but the children ignored them.
Han Chi was even fiercer than them when they spoke.
That self-righteous look on the young boy’s face made them very angry.
When they went to Sun Xiu and the others’ courtyard, Zeng Qin’er played with the scimitar in her hand and performed a set of saber techniques in front of them. She even asked them with a smile, “Old Master, Old Lady, how is my sword technique?”
How was it? Old Woman Heng was terrified to death.
As for Sun Xiu and her other two sisters, none of them came out of the courtyard to greet them.
They had no manners or upbringing.
They didn’t dare to even think about sneaking into the main courtyard, but they weren’t willing to think about living in the servant’s courtyard.
“You can stay in the inn. 1’11 get Dong Lai to send you there. I’ll personally send you back to Heng Family Village after lunch tomorrow.”
Whatever Old Woman Heng thought of before, it was gone as soon as she heard those words and her expression changed.
“No, no, no. We can go back by ourselves.”
“That won’t do. 1 have to do what 1 said. 1 said that every time you leave Heng Family Village and come to me, I’ll teach them a lesson. I’m a man of my word.”
Heng Yi’s words scared the two out of their wits.
Especially Old Woman Heng, who immediately said, “Heng Yi, your father and I will go back now. We will go back now.”
“Y-y-you don’t have to send us off!”
“That won’t do.” Heng Yi was resolute and determined.
It was not that easy to come and go as he pleased.
Thus, Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng were forced to stay.
He even sent two rough maids and two manservants to follow closely behind them.
They had dinner in the inn. They wanted to make a scene, but they were afraid that Heng Yi would be even more vicious tomorrow.
She was pacing around the room anxiously.
In the small house, Han Qiao and the children were happily eating dinner.
Han Chi was still growing and loved to eat meat.
When He Cheng saw his brother and sisters eating meat, he also took big mouthfuls, his mouth full of oil.
Zeng Baobao was the same.
He and Zeng Qin’er had grown taller and looked better.
The siblings looked really good.
Heng Yi scooped a spoonful of tofu soup for Han Qiao.
Han Qiao didn’t dare to eat too much, but she wouldn’t stop eating either. She tried to eat less and chew more.
She had to eat a bowl of bird’s nest before she went to bed at night.
These few days, they did not need to study, read, or practice martial arts. The children were happy. Most importantly, they liked to join in the fun when the fast food restaurant opened.
“Go to bed early tonight. You have to wake up early tomorrow.” Han Qiao reminded them gently.
“I know Mother. Mother should also sleep early.”
After dinner, Heng Yi and Han Qiao sat in the yard.
While the kids are playing hide-and-seek.
At first, it was in a small courtyard. Later, it developed into two small courtyards, a hall, and now, it had spread to the main courtyard.
He Cheng ran in, sweating nervously.
“Mother, Mother…”
Han Qiao pulled him and the child squatted beside her, covering him with her long dress.
With Heng Yi sitting on one side and the small child in the middle, it would be hard to find him.
Zeng Baobao ran over, “Madam, have you seen He Cheng?”
Han Qiao shook her head.
She could feel the little boy trembles from laughing, so she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Seems 1 happened to miss him.”
Zeng Baobao narrowed her eyes, “Then I’ll go look for him again.”
Zeng Baobao turned around and continued to look for the child.
Han Qiao lifted her skirt and pulled He Cheng up, who was covering his mouth and laughing so hard that his entire body was trembling. She gently wiped his sweat, “Go quickly. Your Brothers and Sisters will be worried if they can’t find you later.”
“Okay, okay,” He Cheng said before he ran out.
Zeng Baobao, who was waiting for him, hugged him. “Ha! 1 knew you’d come to Master and Madam!”
“All, hahaha, Big Brother, spare me! Big Brother, spare me! It tickles! Tickles…”
The laughter in the small courtyard continued.
Han Qiao also smiled and told Shulan to go to the kitchen and tell Aunt Zhao to boil more water and make some supper.
If they played like this for a while, they would definitely get hungry later.
“Just make some wontons.”
“Alright.”
After showering and changing into clean clothes, the children were indeed hungry once more.
Their hair hadn’t even dried yet, and they were eating wontons in the dining room.
Han Qiao’s supper was still a bird’s nest, while Heng Yi also had a big bowl of wontons.
After supper, they sat down for a while. Their hair was dry, and they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The lights were off, and this beautiful day was over.
On the last day of July, on the first day of August, the Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant in Ninghe Town opened for business.
Heng Yi had started early. Some things could be dealt with well by the staff on their own, but some things still needed Heng Yi to make the final decisions.
He was tall and walked with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He was full of energy, and his eyes and brows were filled with confidence. He was dressed luxuriously, and with the jade safety buckle on his waist, his aura was instantly revealed.
The neighbors could not help but sigh.
“Heng Yi is different now..”
