Chapter 301: This Is Too Much
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Qiao didn’t care about any of that.
She led Heng Yi to the main courtyard and ordered Duan Yue and the others to boil water and bring new clothes over. She also wanted to wipe the blood off his armor to see if it was loose and patch it up.
“How long will you be staying?” Han Qiao asked.
“Four hours.”
Just four hours…
Han Qiao’s heart was slightly bitter. She knew that he was putting his life on the line outside and also worrying about his family. If she showed any reluctance or sadness, he would probably be even more reluctant to leave home.
“Then hurry up and wash up. I’ll get the kitchen to make some food for you to take away.”
“Also, you have to take some of the medicinal herbs with you.”
“Is everyone alright? Are you hurt?”
Han Qiao took a deep breath.
This was Heng Yi, her husband. How could she remain indifferent?
A sensible wife wouldn’t ask anything.
“Everyone is alright. Gu Jiu is injured, but it’s just minor, not a big deal. We still have to go and exterminate the leftover bandits. When we come back from exterminating them, I should be able to advance a little. When that time comes, 1 can ask for an imperial mandate for you.”
There was a huge difference between a merchant woman and a noble lady.
Han Qiao stared at Heng Yi in surprise.
He actually thought of this?
“Where’s Shopkeeper Zhu? Is he okay?”
“He’s okay. He came back with us this time and went to see his mother., Heng Yi held Han Qiao’s hand.
After entering the main courtyard, Pucao carried Ah-Yao and stood under the eaves.
Ah-Yao didn’t recognize Heng Yi anymore, and Heng Yi didn’t dare to hug him.
He had just returned from outside. There were still traces of blood on his armor. He took a deep look at the child, “Carry him away.”
“Yes.”
Pucao immediately carried Ah-Yao, who was screaming for his mother and went outside.
Heng Yi took off his armor, and Han Qiao handed it to Duan Yue for him to clean. Then, she asked Dong Lai to come over and check.
When Heng Yi went to the bathroom, he pulled Han Qiao along.
Did Han Qiao know what he wanted to do?
She missed him too, so she went along.
“Go wash up first. I’ll take out your clothes and come in later to wipe your back.”
Just a back scrub?
Of course not.
Han Qiao found Heng Yi’s clothes and another set of clothes for herself. Shuian and the others had already left the room and closed the door. There was no one within their courtyard.
Han Qiao was silent for a moment.
She entered the bathroom.
By the time she was carried out by Heng Yi, her hair had already fallen down, but Heng Yi was full of energy and contentment.
Heng Yi helped her put on her clothes, combed her hair with a comb, and then kissed her.
“I’m going to bring Ah-Yao back and we’ll stay together for a while.”
“Alright,” Han Qiao replied weakly.
A man who had been “vegetarian” for more than half a month could not be provoked.
When Heng Yi went to carry Ah-Yao, the maids all lowered their heads. The nanny stole a glance at Heng Yi, then quickly looked away.
She almost mustered up all her courage just to call out, “Master.”
Heng Yi glanced at her and left without saying anything.
Pucao followed behind and stopped after a few steps. She turned to look at the nanny.
The nanny quickly lowered her head guiltily.
H 7″
Pucao was puzzled. Why did she call Master?
Moreover, the way she said it sounded very wrong.
Every staff within the household also called him Master and greeted him, but they never used this kind of tone.
She decided to ask Dong Lai.
The nanny’s tone was a little strange, but what was strange about it?
Pucao didn’t enter the bedroom. She went straight to Dong Lai to help wipe the armor. When Duan Yue walked with her, she let her.
She imitated Nanny’s voice and shouted for Dong Lai to hear.
Duan Yue’s face instantly darkened.
When she still worked in the Zhong family, she would watch maids who seduced their masters like this.
But they were all virgins. This nanny was just too bold.
“Did I say something wrong?” Pucao asked, a little nervous.
Dong Lai patted her head, “No, Sister Duan Yue is not upset because of you.”
Duan Yue nodded at the younger girl, “It’s truly not your fault.”
She definitely had to tell Madam about this.
Such an impure Nanny was not suitable to stay in the residence. As for whether the Nanny stayed or not, it was up to the Madam to decide.
Back in the main bedroom, Heng Yi held Ah-Yao in one hand and ate with chopsticks in the other.
Ah-Yao wanted to eat what his father was eating.
Heng Yi knew that Han Qiao didn’t give the child salty or greasy food. Even she and the Nanny would try to eat as light as possible.
He ate really fast and was not afraid of swallowing the steaming soup. He ate most of the dishes like a whirlwind and inhaled two bowls of soup and two steamed buns. After that, he carried Ah-Yao to the bedroom with satisfaction.
Han Qiao glared at him weakly.
When Ah-Yao saw his mother, he immediately wiggled his hands happily, asking for Han Qiao to carry him.
He could lean on Han Qiao for a while now.
The five-month-old baby already understands a little.
Although he did not have any impression of his biological father, it did not hinder the closeness of the bloodline.
Heng Yi let him sit in the middle, then lay down next to him and closed his eyes.
He could sleep outside, but it felt different.
It was not as good as having his wife and children by his side. The kind of physical and mental satisfaction, emotional and spiritual relaxation. And soon enough, with Han Qiao and Ah-Yao by his side, he was already snoring.
Ah-Yao was extremely curious.
He listened carefully with his round eyes wide open as if in disbelief.
The small boy also imitated Heng Yi’s snore, “Whoosh…Whoosh…”
Han Qiao found it funny, but her heart ached for Heng Yi.
Especially when she thought of his struggles outside.
Qin Song and the others returned with the raid. Heng Yi woke up when he heard their footsteps. Beside him, his wife and son were sleeping soundly with their heads tilted towards each other.
Heng Yi’s heart softened at the sight.
He tucked them in and got up to leave.
He instructed Shuian, “There will be a carriage of things sent back in two days. Just let Madam tidy it up and deal with it herself.”
“Alright.”
When Heng Yi arrived at the gate, all the children were there except Han Chi.
He Cheng threw himself into his arms and called out happily, “Father!”
Heng Yi patted his head, “Were you a good boy at home?”
“Yes! I didn’t make Mother angry.”
“Very good,” Heng Yi praised.
He looked at Sun Xiu and Sun Yi and said, “Stay at home and spend more time with your mother. You should also learn how to manage the house”
As he climbed up the social ladder, the marriages of his children would definitely be different.
After getting married, they had to manage their household.
Now, they can learn slowly in the safety of their home. If they made some mistake, Ah-Qiao would give them pointers. It was not too late to change.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi nodded.
“If you’re short of money, just ask your mother. Don’t be stingy. I can earn money now.”
As for how to earn it, Heng Yi didn’t explain in detail.
But from his expression, it could be seen that he was confident of his wealth.
As for how much, Sun Xiu and Sun Yi didn’t dare to guess.
Heng Yi said a few words to his children and couldn’t waste any more time.
He stepped out of the door and rode away.
He didn’t dare to turn around. He was afraid that if he did, he wouldn’t want to leave.
Behind him were more than ten carriages that were used to purchase supplies.
When Han Qiao woke up, the sky was almost dark. Her back was sore and she felt uncomfortable all over.
She was fondly exasperated that in this little boy’s eyes, Heng Yi was not as important.
When he wanted to, he would cling to Heng Yi with all his might.
Ah-Yao had Pucao, but he also liked to stick to his mother.
The mother and son played on the bed for a while before Duan Yue told her that the Nanny had tried to seduce Heng Yi.
Once she was done, Pucao didn’t dare to make a sound.
After all, she was not certain on this matter.
Han Qiao was silent for a moment.
“Ah-Yao can eat rice paste and egg custard now. Pay the Nanny this month’s salary and let her go.”
That woman was allowed to have thoughts.
After all, everyone was born with many thoughts.
But she shouldn’t be staring at someone else’s husband, especially when she had a husband and children of her own.
“Yes, Madam..”
