Reborn Lady - Chapter 184

“These brothers go to and from the studying hall together, why do you bother to pick your son up? It seems that we don’t care about the children.” 

Before sitting down, Ji Xianxian complained to Yinhui.

Yin Hui smiled and said, “I remember when I first got married, Er Lang had already been in the studying hall for a while, and you often went to pick him up. Xiao Heng just started, if I didn’t pick him up, he would be so pitiful.”

Ji Xianxian choked for a moment, and immediately blamed Si Lang, “It’s all Si Lang’s fault. He envies Wu Lang for having you pick him up. When he goes back, he cries to my husband who will question me. But why didn’t he think that when San Lang was studying, my sister-in-law didn’t show up, as Da Lang was with San Lang. Si Lang also has Er Lang. So why would he need us to pick him up? Could it be that he, a concubine born, is more worthy than San Lang?”

Yin Hui: “I won’t get involved in that. I will pick up my Xiao Heng.”

Ji Xianxian: “What about Xio Xun? When the time comes, will you still pick him up, or hand him over to the elder brother?”

Yin Hui: “Let’s see if Xiao Xun cries or not. If he doesn’t cry, I’ll let Xiao Heng take him with him. If he cries hard, I have to go.”

Ji Xianxian said, “You mean, I should pick up Si Lang?”

Yin Hui: “I didn’t say that, Second Sister-in-Law, don’t wrong me.” 

Ji Xianxian was still angry and left without drinking tea.

That afternoon, when Yin Hui went to pick up Xiao Heng, she found that Concubine Liu, Si Lang’s biological mother, was also there. Concubine Liu was born as a maidservant, and she had been under Ji Xianxian’s control for many years. She was timid and bowed to Yin Hui from a distance.

Yin Hui nodded.

When the children came out, Xiao Heng looked over habitually, and when he saw his mother, he ran over like a bird.

Seeing Concubine Liu, Si Lang’s eyes lit up, and he threw himself into her arms like Xiao Heng just did.

Concubine Liu felt distressed and embarrassed.

At that moment, Da Lang and the others came over, and the children saluted Yin Hui, who smiled and nodded.

Da Lang and the others walked away, ignoring Concubine Liu.

Si Lang, who was leaning against Concubine Liu’s arms, was startled. A moment ago he was happy because Concubine Liu came to pick him up, but he pursed his lips and became depressed.

After that day, Si Lang no longer begged for someone to pick him up.

Xiao Heng had seen Concubine Liu before, but he didn’t see her later, so he asked Si Lang curiously, “Why didn’t your mother come to pick you up?”

“I don’t need it anymore.”

Xiao Heng blinked his eyes, and when he saw his parents in the evening, the little guy said solemnly that he would go to the study hall by himself in the future, and he didn’t want his parents to pick him up.

Wei Luo asked unexpectedly, “Why?”

Xiao Heng learned what Si Lang said.

Sooner or later, the little guy had to accept that he could only take Cao Bao to the study hall. Since he proposed it himself, Wei Luo and Yin Hui exchanged glances and agreed.

Yin Hui added, “Xiao Heng, you can try first. If you still like me to pick you up, then I will go ahead.”

Xiao Heng nodded.

In fact, Cao Bao was with him, and he had four brothers and one sister with him. Xiao Heng was not alone at all, and he really didn’t need his parents to pick him up.

In February, the spring was cold, and there was a snowfall in Pingcheng, which made it really cold for a while.

After the snow melted, Yin Yong and Yin Lang set off with the caravan. Before leaving, they wrote a letter to Yin Hui, mentioning that Wei Luo sent four guards with strong Kung Fu to protect them, so that she could rest assured.

Yin Hui was relieved after reading the letter.

First of all, her grandfather did not bring Yin Wen with him on this trip, which was completely different from the previous life. Secondly, the Yin family caravan had traveled to the south of the Yangtze River so many times, and with the addition of the four guards, she was assured everything would be fine.

When Wei Luo came back in the evening, Yin Hui was still very dignified outside, and when she entered the inner room after dinner, she hugged Wei Luo from behind.

Wei Luo was about to take off his clothes, but when she hugged him up so hard, he had to stop, turned his head to look, and saw that the corners of her lips were curled up. He was inexplicably in a good mood, and asked, “Why are you so happy?” 

Yin Hui said with a smile, “Grandfather sent a letter, asking me to thank you.”

Wei Lup understood, and said, “Thank you, too.” 

If not for her tears, he would not use favors.

Yin Hui: “Thank you. You sent four guards over in one go. Not to mention my grandfather, I am also flattered.”

Wei Luo’s expression changed slightly.

He made a deal with Feng Teng for two, but the Feng family actually sent four?

Needless to say, the extra two must have been given by Feng Su.

Feng Su seemed to be rough, but in fact he was thoughtful, he must have asked his father, and got his instruction.

It was just that his father did not interfere with him lending people to his wife’s family but sent two more.

If it was said that the father was also worried about the safety of Mr. Yin, but he had traveled many times before, and he had not seen that his father had any special care for the Yin family. Even the matter of Yin Wen’s harassment to Liao Qiuniang was told by him. When Liao Shishan was appointed, he found it out and reported it to his father.

That was to say, what happened in the past year or so since Liao Shisan entered the guardhouse made his father care about the Yin family.

Were they short of military pay again?

No, that year’s Chinese New Year, his father gave the soldiers in the guardhouse an extra month’s salary.

There was no shortage; that was to plan for a rainy day.

The Emperor had already thrown the mess to his father once, and there would never be a second time. In addition, the weather in Wei State had been smooth in the past two years, there had been few wars, and the treasury was sufficient. However, his grandfather was old after all, and he might pass away someday. When the Emperor’s grandson would ascend the throne, was his father worried that he would withhold the military pay of the guards and even the imperial army in Yandi?

If the grandson of the Emperor really acted like that, could the father bear it?

As if a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in his mind, Wei Luo clenched his wife’s hand around his waist.

Yin Hui was hurt by his pinching, she took a breath to break away from him and complained in a low voice while going around in front of him, “Why did you use so much strength?”

Wei Luo looked at her bright and pretty face and quickly hid the strangeness in his eyes. He took her hand and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Yin Hui observed him, saying, “It’s okay, it hurts a little bit, are you okay?”

Wei Luo pursed his lips and said coldly, “This time it’s an exception. Don’t make similar requests in the future.”

Yin Hui pouted, saying,  “Understood, I don’t dare to act spoiled in front of you.” 

She wanted to express her gratitude but was scolded by him, so Yin Hui wanted to go out.

Wei Luo just didn’t want her to be suspicious. Seeing that she came in with a smile but was about to leave in a huff, he grabbed her arm and pulled her back into his arms, “Don’t you dare? How often have you been spoiled?”

To her, it was like hearing some joke. “How am I acting spoiled?”

Wei Luo thought of one thing casually, and said, “Who let her husband check if the other man was a eunuch?”

Yin Hui was startled but was speechless. That was right, looking at him for a moment, Yin Hui looked away and said in a compromised way, “That’s because you dote on me too much, and you make me bolder.”

Wei Luo thought the same way.

However, he doted on her also because she was favored by others.

Glancing out the window, it was already dark.

Wei Luo picked up Yin Hui, strode around the screen, and undressed directly in the room.

Maybe it was a glimpse of his father’s ambition, that a raging fire ignited in Wei Luo’s heart, and there was nowhere to turn it, so it all passed on to her.
