Xia Qiyue slumped her shoulders and sat on the armchair in the main room, "I'm so tired, my legs hurt!"
She muttered in a low voice that her legs were not fully healed yet, and her legs felt a dull pain from all the fuss.
Xia Jiuyue, who was on the side, looked at her sister with some worry: "Sister, why don't you go back to your room and rest? I'm still here!"
Xia Qiyue shook her head. After a while, An Zichen would send away the brothers who grew up together. She was still waiting to make arrangements for An Zichen.
It's okay if he goes back to town, but if he stays, he has to arrange a room.
Xia Xinghe also accompanies his two sisters. Since his enlightenment, he rarely appears in the front yard. He works very hard and will still rush to his sisters to help this and that whenever he has free time.
Although he was only eleven years old, he knew that such a good life was hard-earned. Even if he stayed in Zhuangzi, Shanxi, he would not be able to live like this and still study, and it would be even more impossible.
"Second sister, why don't you rub the eldest sister's legs, maybe it will feel better!" Xia Xinghe saw this and originally wanted to marry and help her sister rub her legs, but since she started studying, she also knows that there is a difference between men and women.
Even my sister can’t do this anymore.
Xia Qiyue immediately understood, moved her position, sat next to Xia Qiyue, and gently rubbed Xia Qiyue's legs.
"It's great to have you, my sister is very happy!" Xia Qiyue, in a rare emotional moment, touched her sister's head and said softly.
"Sister, my brother-in-law is not dead, and he has come back as a general, so we are relieved. Even if we get married in the future, we can keep you with confidence. With your brother-in-law supporting us, we won't worry about you being bullied.
"It's over." Xia Yueyue said as she gently helped her sister rub her legs.
Xia Xinghe also said with stars in his eyes, "Sister, my brother-in-law is really handsome and tall. Will you feel safe in the future? I will also become a general like my brother-in-law in the future!"
Xia Qiyue couldn't stop laughing: "You kid, it's a good thing Xuan'er and Kerr have gone to bed, otherwise Xuan'er would have rolled her eyes at you. I didn't expect you to be even more infatuated than a girl!"
Xia Xinghe lowered his head in embarrassment, "That's right!"
Xia Qiyue stopped joking with them and said seriously, "Sister, let me tell you, security is not given by others, but by yourself. As long as you are strong enough, no one can do anything to you. Remember, you rely on trees.
It depends on everyone. In this world, you can only feel safest if you rely on yourself, so in the future you must strengthen yourself and don’t try to rely on anyone! Do you understand?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of applause sounded, followed by An Zichen's light steps.
"It turns out that my little sweet wife is so self-reliant. It's my husband's fault. She failed to fulfill her husband's obligations and failed to protect you and the children. How about I make it up to you in the future?"
Xia Jiuyue stood up when he heard the sound, hurriedly pulled Xia Xinghe and said hello to An Zichen before walking out.
"Brother-in-law, please take your time and chat, let's go back to bed first!"
Before leaving, the little girl secretly winked at her sister.
Xia Qiyue waved her hands and was very amused. Although she and An Zichen met for the first time as husband and wife, no matter what, they had even given birth to a child. Now that An Zichen was back, he should sleep with Xia Qiyue.
Just do it together.
But Xia Qiyue waited for her younger siblings to leave and stood up, "Did General An ride a horse when he came?"
An Zichen nodded, but then shook his head, "I was riding a horse when I came here, but in the afternoon, my servants took the horse back and fed it."
His horse is very expensive. Although it is not as expensive as the sweat-blooded horse, and it is not as good as General Zheng's horse chasing shadow, it is still a thousand-mile horse that many people covet, and they are usually very picky about their diet.
"Then I'll drive you back!" Xia Qiyue said and walked out.
However, An Zichen quickly grabbed Xia Qiyue's arm when she passed by him, "This is my home too, where is Madam going to send me?"
These words were said in a normal way, as if two people had been together for a long time and were very familiar with each other, but at this time, the wife was acting petty.
Xia Qiyue turned around, "Don't General An have his own mansion? I'll take you back to your mansion!"
An Zichen knew that the little wife in front of him was actually angry at him for not looking for his family for so long, so he explained with a good temper.
"If I had known that you were waiting for me at home, my husband would have drifted back even if he was seriously injured and unconscious! How could he have gone to Jiuli Town to buy a house just to be closer to you? What a waste of money?"
Even though Xia Qiyue is a modern woman and has heard countless love words, she still blushed at An Zichen's tacky love words.
"By the way, madam, this is all my belongings. Now, they are all confiscated and are at your disposal. As long as you have food to eat and clothes to wear, it will be fine!"
With that said, An Zichen put all his current money and house deeds that Uncle Fu had sorted out in the afternoon into Xia Qiyue's hands.
"There are only so many at the moment, mainly because it cost too much money to buy that house. Madam, you can handle it yourself. You can also sell it. All you have to do is bring back my husband's beloved horse and the housekeeper Fu Bo!"
Xia Qiyue didn't say a word, just watched An Zichen operate, and seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, and seeing that he didn't have any nostalgia for the big house in Jiuli Town, he deliberately asked a tentative question.
"That's all? Don't you need to bring back the little girls you're waiting for?"
An Zichen quickly raised his hands and swore, "I have no conscience on earth. My husband will never let any little girl serve him. Except for the rough lady who cooks, there is no one in the house who is female. That rough lady is because of Uncle Fu."
I invited you here because of my connections!”
"Well... I believe you for now! But it's not impossible for you to live at home, there is one thing! You have to obey!"
"What? Just say, don't say one o'clock, ten o'clock will do!" An Zichen quickly agreed.
Xia Qiyue stretched out a finger, "Before I can't feel that you really fall in love with me, sleep in separate rooms!"
She didn't want to give herself away in such a muddle, even after giving birth to two children. Cheap things would not be cherished. In ancient times, a woman might only end up like this once in her life, so she had to treat it seriously.
An Zichen did not expect this condition, but although he also wanted his wife to have a happy pregnancy again, he also had to respect her wishes. The two of them had an arranged marriage originally ordered by their parents, and it was necessary to cultivate their relationship.
"Okay! Promise!" An Zichen nodded heavily, "I believe this day will not be too far away!"
"Let's arrange your room in the front yard. There happens to be one empty room. I'll pack it out for you tomorrow. It's too late today, so you still have to go back to sleep! Come on, I'll see you off!"
An Zichen had no choice but to follow, who would let his wife be the biggest?
Xia Qiyue took An Zichen to the stable in the backyard, passed by the second yard, and put the money and the house deed given by An Zichen in his room. In fact, he used the room as a cover to put it into the space.
