Chapter 340: Some Things Don’t Need To Be Said Out Loud
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Qiao stepped out of the room first and gave a few instructions to the servant girl waiting at the door before turning around to do her own thing.
She could see through Han Yuan’s thoughts.
It was nothing more than to make her soften her heart, give her money, give her things, and give her dignity.
Then, she would use it to make up for Han Xiang, whom she hated.
She was unwilling.
She wasn’t a Bodhisattva who could save all living beings and protect everyone.
“Yes, Madam,” The servant girl replied respectfully.
Han Qiao went to do her own thing.
Han Yuan sat on the chair alone. She wiped her tears and wiped them again.
She didn’t even know how things ended up like this with Han Qiao.
Perhaps she knew, but she just didn’t want to admit it.
She returned to the guest courtyard in a daze.
Han Ming came to her with a frown, “Mother?”
“All!” Han Yuan was surprised.
Han Ming’s face darkened when he saw her red eyes.
“Mother, what were you doing?”
“1-1 didn’t do anything,” Han Yuan said coldly and quickly entered her room.
Father Han sat at the side smoking a pipe.
In the past few months, he had been smoking more and more frequently.
Han Yuan sat at the side and didn’t say anything.
Father Han didn’t say anything.
She didn’t say anything either, but he seemed to understand everything.
Han Ming sighed in disappointment.
Back then, he, his eldest brother, and his second brother were against Han Xiang marrying again.
There were so many brothers in the family, but there were only a few houses, a few acres of land, and a few silver coins. What was the use of a man being good-looking?
But now, Han Xiang didn’t even care about her two other children ever since she got pregnant.
And according to the doctor, Han Xiang’s body couldn’t handle having intercourse or having more children.
However, his parents and Han Xiang didn’t want to listen to them, so it was useless for the three brothers to say anything.
“What’s wrong?” Han Dalang asked.
“Nothing,” Han Ming said in a deep voice.
He went to look for Han Dacheng and the others.
Han Dalang thought about it for a moment before following.
It was easy to find Han Dacheng and the others. After all, they were all practicing with Han Chi. They had to deal with the wedding matters when they got married one day so that they would not stay clueless and fl.u.s.tered.
Seeing that the children were all sweating profusely, the two brothers did not dare to go up and disturb them.
However, anyone with eyes could see that these children had completely changed.
They all had become calm, responsible, and smart.
Not only did they gain knowledge, but they also gained insight.
The person who taught them was very strict. He held a cane in his hand and let them learn bit by bit. If they were wrong, he would use the cane to point.
Han Dacheng and the others also noticed Han Dalang and Han Ming at the door, but they only took a glance before turning their heads away and continuing to study seriously.
No one complained or slacked off.
Han Chi’s clothes were already soaked. He had more to learn.
There were several standards for kneeling. He had to kneel to whoever he saw. After all, he was married to a princess of the Imperial Family.
“Kneel.”
Han Chi knelt down.
“Rise.”
Han Chi stood up.
Han Ming took a deep breath and suddenly thought of the saying, ‘If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight.’
“Brother, let’s go. Let’s not disturb them,” Han Ming said softly.
The day before the wedding, the Imperial family came over to make the bed.
When the auspicious hour arrived, they began to clean the bed and lay out the mandarin duck pillow, and the dragon and phoenix quilt.
Peanuts, longan, lotus seeds, chestnuts, dates, and other dried fruits were scattered on the wedding bed.
Han Qiao warmly greeted her family who had come to make the bed.
They left after lunch.
The chefs had arrived today, and they had prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
Master Feng was the commander, and Housekeeper Liu, Wen Yu, Gu Jiu, and Zhang Zhao were the a.s.sistants because there were too many guests to entertain.
Bai Cha was going to fetch the bride.
Han Qiao was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground. She only had a chance to rest at night.
Han Chi came over.
“All-Chi, come and sit.”
“Mother.”
Han Chi sat beside Han Qiao.
Seeing Han Qiao’s exhausted face, he went forward to ma.s.sage her shoulders.
Han Qiao was a little surprised, but she enjoyed it with a clear conscience.
When her son got married, such good things would probably be rare opportunities.
“Mother, how are you feeling? Am 1 pinching too hard?”
“No, it’s fine like this.” Han Qiao smiled.
With his ma.s.sage, her entire body felt much more comfortable.
After a while, she held Han Chi’s hand, “Alright, come and sit down. Let’s talk.”
Han Chi sat beside Han Qiao as instructed.
He opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to say them.
He had always been eloquent. At this moment, he had a thousand words in his heart, but he did not know where to start.
He knelt down in front of Han Qiao, “Mother, thank you.”
Han Chi’s eyes turned red instantly, and tears rolled down his face.
“Silly child.” Han Qiao wiped away his tears.
“Why are you crying? This is a happy day in life. You should be happy.”
“We have to look forward. And you have witnessed this all yourself, aren’t the days getting better? Your father is a Marquis, and you’ve also been admitted as his son. After you get married, you’ll be a young adult…”
“You’ve always been too sensible and have a lot on your mind. 1 still hope that you’ll be more innocent and play for two more years. I also hope that you’ll work hard and become an outstanding young man.”
“Although I didn’t give birth to you and didn’t raise you young, you called me mother, so I naturally want my son to become a dragon.”
In the end, she still hoped that Han Chi would be well.
“Get up now. Return to your quarters and sleep well. Don’t think about anything else. You have to get up early tomorrow.”
Han Qiao helped Han Chi up.
Han Chi nodded with a smile.
“Then Mother should rest early too. Mother has worked hard these days.”
Han Qiao nodded slightly.
Han Chi turned around and left.
Han Qiao took a deep breath.
Heng Yi carried Ah-Yao in. Ah-Yao had fallen asleep.
“You’ve been tired all day, so go to sleep. You’ll be busy tomorrow, so 1’11 take care of Yao,” Heng Yi’s gentle voice.
“Send him to Pucao. You’re busy tomorrow too.”
“No, it’s okay. He’ll cry in the middle of the night. He only wakes up once at night and doesn’t eat anything.”
In the end, he still couldn’t bear to part with the child.
Han Qiao did not insist.
Anyway, she didn’t have the strength to wake up at night to coax the child.
She lay down to rest.
When Heng Yi came back, Han Qiao was already in a deep sleep.
His heart ached as he lay down next to Han Qiao.
Han Qiao leaned into his embrace and reached out to grab his arm.
Other than the time when Han Qiao gave birth, he had never seen her so tired.
Han Qiao hugged him and pushed him away in annoyance, “Too hot.”
Heng Yi took out a fan from under his pillow and gently fanned her.
With the cool breeze, Han Qiao quickly fell asleep again and was happy to be hugged by him.
When it was almost midnight, Duan Yue shouted by the door,
“Marquis, Madam, it’s almost dawn.”
Hearing this, Heng Yi woke up.
Han Qiao also opened her eyes.
Covering her mouth and yawning, Han Qiao slowly got up.
She went to the bathroom to do her business, rinse her mouth, and wash her face.
After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, she closed her eyes and allowed Duan Yue to comb her hair.
She had to put on some rouge today and dress up a little more festive.
They could be rich but not too eye-catching. After all, it was Han Chi and Li Mi’s wedding, and they were the main characters for today’s grand event.
“Wear this golden jade.”
It represents the golden jade marriage.
Even the children were arranged in the same way today..
