Reborn Lady - Chapter 51

King Yan soon lost his patience, returned Si Lang to Wei Yan, and said in annoyance, “The child can’t be too pampered, take him out for a walk when the weather is good.” 

Wei Yan repeatedly responded. 

After that, King Yan asked the wet nurse to bring Xiao Heng over. 

As soon as the child was in his arms, King Yan smiled first, “Good boy, he is heavier than his fourth brother.”

When he smiled, Xiao Heng also laughed and he started to jump on his grandfather’s leg. 

King Yan suddenly remembered that the stinky boy stepped on him once, so he hurriedly moved the fat grandson aside, and then looked at his big bright eyes, full of energy. King Yan couldn’t help but nod and praise, “You look like your father. With your strength, you will be a good candidate for martial arts when you grow up.” 

Xiao Heng just smiled. 

King Yan rarely saw his grandchildren, so they began to eat. 

It was rare for the family to reunite, and it was rare for King Yan to have that leisure time. While eating, he kept looking around, sometimes looking at his sons, sometimes looking at his two daughters, and more often looking at the table of his grandchildren. For his daughters-in-law, he didn’t give half a look.

Soon, King Yan was attracted by Xiao Heng again. The little guy ate so deliciously, he took a sip after being fed by the nurse. When the little brothers talked to each other, he was engrossed in eating. The obvious contrast was Shiro from the second household. Every time the nurse handed over the spoon, Shiro would wrinkle his face and dodge from side to side. Although the nurse was careful enough, it still stained Shiro’s bib. 

King Yan snorted and said to Concubine Li before leaving, “Tell the second daughter-in-law not to only care about Er Lang and Xiao Zhuang, Shiro is also her child.”

Concubine Li listened to the reprimand but maintained the smile on her face, not to mention the anger in her heart. 

After the full moon banquet was over, Concubine Li turned her head and vented her anger on Ji Xianxian, “Look at how you raised Shiro, the king was very concerned about it. If you continue like this and spoil Shiro, you will be the first one to not be spared!” 

Ji Xianxian muttered in a low voice, “Si Lang was born weak, so what can I do? Whenever I asked to bring him to me, his mother would be reluctant, and I could not force her. If something really happened, outsiders will think I was not tolerant of a concubine.” 

Concubine Li: “It’s useless to tell me these things, you are Shiro’s main mother, you can figure it out yourself!” 

Ji Xianxian clutched the handkerchief bitterly.

If she had expected to be scolded earlier, she might as well have hoped that her father-in-law was busy with political affairs and didn’t have time to come over for dinner.

The matter of Si Lang alarmed King Yan. Although Ji Xianxian was dissatisfied, she still chatted with Wei Yan about Si Lang’s upbringing at night. 

“Let me say this first, it’s not that I don’t want to raise Si Lang. It’s that he is too weak, and he will have accidents every three days if he is not handed over to his mother. I really dare not let him be here.”

Ji Xianxian was sitting in front of the dressing table, squinting at Wei Yan, who had already got into bed anxiously.

Thinking of Si Lang’s skinny appearance, Wei Yan sighed, pinched his forehead and said, “I know, I don’t blame you for this, my father just saw Wu Lang today, and he is raised to be fat, so he felt that we are treating Si Lang badly. It’s okay, wait a little longer, when Si Lang grows up and keeps up in every aspect, father will be relieved.” 

Ji Xianxian snorted, “What about your mother? She scolded me so badly today. It’s just me, what about you?” 

Her eyes were alluring, and Wei Yan coaxed her with a smile, “Mother is just venting her anger on you, and she will forget about it in two days. Come up quickly, it’s cold down here.” 

Then Ji Xianxian walked over with her waist twisted. 

Wei Yan hugged her in his arms and greedily took a sip of his wife’s fragrance. No matter how nice Concubine Liu’s voice was, no matter how beautiful the singer was, they were all wild flowers that couldn’t be shown off outside after all, not as good as Ji Xianxian’s beauty and heavenly fragrance. 

Wei Yan had seen so many beauties, and compared them one by one, only the third younger sister-in-law, Madam Yin, could beat Ji Xianxian by one point. 

The strange thing was that Madam Yin had been married for so long, so why did she not show off her beauty before, but in the past few months she had become more amazing? 

Forget it, no matter how beautiful she was, she was his younger sister-in-law, so he couldn’t get involved, so he might as well concentrate on eating his own. 

It was cold in winter, and people didn’t like to go out. So Yin Hui stayed at Chengxin hall to look through the ledger, and played with Xiao Heng when she got tired of reading. 

On the day of the end of the month, Yin Hui took Xiao Heng with her and went to greet Concubine Xu as usual. 

The people sitting in the warm pavilion were all familiar faces, but Yin Hui noticed that Xu Qingwan seemed to have lost some weight. 

Just as she thought about it, Ji Xianxian, who was seated in front of her, asked Xu Qingwan directly, “Are you sick? Why haven’t I seen you for eight or nine days? Your face has lost weight.” 

Xu Qingwan said with a faint smile, “It’s because of the cold. After taking a few doses of medicine, it’s almost gone.” 

Ji Xianxian said meaningfully, “You must take good care of your body.”

Concubine Xu suddenly looked at Yin Hui, “Shu Ye has been on a business trip for so long, but did he write a letter to say the date of return?” 

Shu Ye was Wei Luo. 

Yin Hui replied, “No, maybe he will be back soon, and I don’t want to send a messenger again.” 

Princess Xu: “Well, it’s cold, and it’s hard outside all the time. When he goes far, remember to arrange two servant girls to serve him. The young servants are rough and careless, so it is better to arrange girls.”
