Heng Yi naturally had his own selfish motives.
Li Zhao was smart, and Bai Cha was his brother.
On the way, Heng Yi told them about it.
Bai Cha and Li Zhao felt a little relieved.
Passing by the market outside the city, Heng Yi asked if the basket had been returned.
The sweet potato seller hurriedly said, “Y-yes, I got it back.”
The Marquis’ servant even bought a few more sweet potatoes before he returned.
Heng Yi went and continued his journey.
When he arrived at the barracks, he immediately called Zhang Zhao, Shopkeeper Zhu, Wen Yu, and Gu Jiu to talk about Han Qiao’s idea.
There were also a few people sent by Emperor Zhao Qian.
These people were practical, well-informed, and read a lot, so they could listen to all kinds of suggestions.
Heng Yi looked around and found that Qin Song was missing.
In the past, he might have sent someone to get him, but after Han Qiao and the others sent off the concubine when they first arrived in Sanzhou Town, Heng Yi was still more or less cold to Qin Song.
Heng Yi talked about Han Qiao’s idea with everyone. After some thought, Bai Cha and Li Zhao filled in the gaps. Then they all began to discuss.
How should they make one? What would they need?
Wen Yu glanced at Qin Song only to find his seat was empty. Then he turned to look at Heng Yi who was listening carefully at the main seat.
He suddenly remembered his wife’s words.
He exhaled for no reason.
Fortunately, he didn’t have a cunning mind, otherwise…
“Let’s call it a day. Go home today and think about it carefully. It would be best if you can write a detailed plan for me.”
“Understood.”
Then the three of them returned to the Marquis’ manor.
Han Qiao had already prepared dinner.
Heng Yi is going to entertain those people from the capital.
Even if they won’t be eating together, they still had to show their faces.
Heng Yi greeted Han Qiao, then called Ah-Yao to come over, and carried him to the guest house.
He Cheng wanted to follow but was called by Pucao to play.
Han Qiao stood aside, sighing slightly.
Whether she admitted it or not, some things were doomed from the beginning and cannot be changed.
Heng Yi’s love for Ah-Yao, the Emperor’s recognition of the second generation master of the Marquis’ family…
Heng Yi took Ah-Yao there not just for fun, but to let those who came from the capital meet the young master of Marquis’ family.
What she could do was urge Han Chi and He Cheng to study hard, and enrich themselves so that they would be capable and broaden their horizons.
The Marquis’ family would not be their end, but the starting point for their life.
As for Ah-Yao, she had to put more effort into raising him. She couldn’t spoil the child to the point he would be a disaster when he grew up.
Ah-Yao was too smart. He might only be a little over one year old, yet he understood a lot. He was already speaking simple sentences. She and Heng Yi would avoid him when they have serious things to say to each other lest he pick up on it too.
She was also afraid that Ah-Yao would be hurt, but she was even more afraid that he would be used by someone with ulterior motives.
They may look very prosperous now, but behind this beautiful stage, countless eyes were staring at them. There were even spies from the enemy’s country…
There were probably not many who truly wished them well.
At the end of the day, they were just workers. Emperor Zhao Qian was the real investor behind their plans. Since they had gained fame, they had to give the Emperor enough benefits.
“Why is Madam sighing again?” Duan Yue asked softly and handed the teacup to Han Qiao.
“I’m not sighing. I’m just thinking about how to teach Ah-Yao so that he doesn’t grow up crooked.”
“The parents’ of every beloved son have far-reaching plans. The Third Young Master is well-behaved and sensible. Madam need not be too worried,” Duan Yue softly comforted her.
Han Qiao smiled.
She thought that Ah-Yao was very well-behaved, but she didn’t expect that during dinner, Ah-Yao would give them a big surprise. She was so angry that she wanted to hit someone…
Heng Yi carried Ah-Yao to the guest house, everyone was already sitting at the table eating, when they saw Heng Yi coming over, they immediately got up again, “Greetings to the Marquis.”
“There is no need to be so polite. Everyone, please take a seat..”
