Reborn Lady - Chapter 68

Yin Hui nodded, followed Madam Wen and picked a piece of fabric. It should be a good material that was rewarded by King Yan before, and she could make spring clothes for Xiao Heng later. 

Back in Chengxin Hall, Wei Luo really reprimanded the wet nurse. 

He was scary enough when he wasn’t angry, so when he got angry, the wet nurse knelt down on the ground. Not daring to refute a word, she only kept promising that she would never make the same mistake again. 

“This shouldn’t happen again,” Wei Luo finally said, and let the wet nurse go out. 

Yin Hui and Xiao Heng played on the bed in the inner room. She taught him to put all the small gold leaf ingots he received that morning into the belly of the golden tiger. 

When Wei Luo walked over and saw Xiao Heng holding the thin gold leaf in his hand, his face sank again. 

Yin Hui jumped ahead of him and said, “I’ve kept my eyes on him. Xiao Heng just likes to taste things he’s never seen before, and he knows he can’t eat them.” 

Xiao Heng sat steadily, happily throwing the gold leaves in, and whenever there was a “clang clang” sound inside, the little guy would look up and smile at his parents. 

The anger in Wei Luo’s eyes gradually dissipated. 

Only then did Yin Hui try to talk to him, “You didn’t drive the wet nurse away, right? I thought you didn’t want to use her anymore.” 

Wei Luo said in a reminiscent tone, “If I punish the wet nurse severely, what would others think?”

Xiao Heng almost ate the jade ring finger by mistake. Although the wet nurse was at fault, King Yan was more responsible. If Wei Luo severely punished the wet nurse, King Yan would feel that his third son cared too much about the matter, and he may be blaming him in his heart. 

Her father-in-law hadn’t ascended the throne yet, but the brothers were already so afraid of him. 

On the night of the first day of the new year, King Yan naturally stayed with Princess Xu. 

Concubine Li thought she was both the king’s cousin and the second wife and concubine to enter the mansion. According to the rules of previous years, the king would come to her side that night. 

However, in the evening of the second, King Yan went to Jinghao Hall. 

Concubine Li dressed up in vain for a long time, and was so angry that she almost fainted when she got the news. In terms of age, Mrs. Wen was only five years younger than her, so why was she suddenly favored? 

As everyone knew, King Yan just paid the “public rations” to Concubine Xu the previous night, and he just wanted to sleep well that night. If he went to Concubine Li, he had to continue to pay, if he was too lazy, then Concubine Li had to find a way to lure him until he gave in. Mrs. Wen was much more honest, and it all depended on his decision. If he didn’t want to do it, Mrs. Wen would never take the initiative to invite him. 

Mrs. Wen didn’t think about those things at all. When she saw King Yan, she subconsciously looked at the ring on the king’s big finger. Good guy, it was so big. If Xiao Heng accidentally swallowed it, wouldn’t it be dangerous? 

King Yan was about to pass Mrs. Wen in, but suddenly found her looking at his hand. 

“You’ve heard that too?” After entering the room and sitting down, King Yan asked, turning the topaz thumb finger. 

Mrs. Wen nodded and said, “Fortunately, you caught Xiao Heng in time, otherwise I would have also been scared to death.” 

King Yan raised his eyebrows, “You too? Who else was almost scared to death by this, the third daughter-in-law?”

Mrs. Wen sat down beside him obediently, showing a dumbfounding expression, “It’s our Shu Ye. The couple came to pay New Year’s greetings last morning. I could tell at a glance that his expression was wrong, so I asked the third daughter-in-law what happened. Shu Ye usually looks cold and doesn’t warm up to anyone, but in fact he has a lot of affection in his heart, especially for Xiao Heng. If something happened to Xiao Heng, I reckon that Shu Ye would be more sad than the third daughter in law.” 

King Yan glared at her, “It’s Chinese New Year, why are you speaking unlucky words?” 

Mrs. Wen hurriedly spat twice to the side, saying that the Bodhisattva would bless Xiao Heng. 

King Yan shook his head, then thought of the third child, suddenly smiled, and said to Mrs. Wen, “The third child is not bad, although he is young, he already has the airs of a father, and loves his child.” 

If it was the second son, for Si Lang… 

“Don’t blame Shu Ye! The third daughter-in-law also said that Shu Ye regretted that he reminded you too strongly,” Mrs. Wen said, looking at King Yan’s expression. 

Yan Wang: “Why would I blame him? All fathers care about their sons.” 

Mrs. Wen patted her chest, smiled and said, “It’s good that you are not angry, and I will tell the third daughter-in-law later, so that they don’t worry about it ” 

When King Yan and Mrs. Wen were lying on the bed, King Yan was not sleepy and didn’t want to do anything, so he continued to chat with Mrs. Wen about the children. 

“Speaking of which, the third daughter-in-law took good care of Xiao Heng. There is a custom in Yandi that wives go back to their natal home to visit relatives on the second or third day of the new year. Tomorrow morning, you can tell the third son to accompany the third daughter-in-law back for New Year’s greetings. Yin Yong, who can manage such a large property, is also a powerful person. If the third son occasionally went to sit and chat with the old man, it would be beneficial for him.” 

King Yan treated Yin Yong with appreciation, otherwise, he would just find an excuse to avoid them. Why would he make his son marry from their family?
