On the way back to the county town, Han Qiao leaned against the wall of the carriage.
She didn’t want the children to be with her, as she wanted to be alone for a while.
The children looked worried.
Ilan Chi still pulled his sisters and He Cheng to the other carriage.
Bai Cha was driving the carriage.
Bai Cha drove the carriage quietly. Han Qiao was alone in the carriage, watching the trees, mountains, and villages slowly pa.s.s by through her window.
Han Qiao lifted the curtain and asked Bai Cha, “Bai Cha, do you think I’m being willful?”
“How could that be? Sister-in-law was a calm and collected person who did good things without thinking about her future. You have your reasons for not forgiving Han Xiang.”
“1 just don’t want to talk to her. I find her annoying. People like her are greedy and black-hearted.”
“Look at her, she’s apologizing on the surface, but she’s always scheming. She’s scheming for the silver in my pocket, scheming to use me and Heng Yi to make money for herself.”
“She can’t hide her thoughts from me, so I’m going to nip all of this in the bud and definitely won’t give her any chance.”
“Whether it’s the Han family or the Heng family, whoever dares to use Heng
Yi’s name to do evil and drag him down, I won’t let them off easily.”
The Han family thought that she was helping them because of Father Han and Mother Han, but that was not the case.
She was not the original owner of the body, so she did not care who the Han family favored. It had nothing to do with her.
She had already repaid the Han family. The road had already led them on their way. What happened in the future was their own business.
She couldn’t stay in Puyi County forever, so she naturally had to follow Heng Yi.
Halfway on the road, they found a teahouse to rest and ordered a bowl of wontons each.
To be honest, it wasn’t delicious, but the children still ate and were not picky at all.
They kept stealing glances at Han Qiao from time to time.
After some adjustments, Han Qiao was back in a better mood.
She could feed He Cheng wontons with a smile.
He Cheng had a good appet.i.te. After eating half a bowl of wontons, he felt a little sleepy.
He wanted to find a nanny to hug him and coax him to sleep.
But none of his nannies came today.
“Ah-Cheng, come here. I’ll carry you.”
Sun Xiu carried He Cheng coaxing him to sleep, just like how she had carried Sun Ke when they were young.
Han Chi and Sun Yi helped them up into the carriage.
Han Qiao couldn’t help but smile fondly at the sight.
This was what siblings should be like. They should love and help each other.
It wasn’t all a scheme.
The children sat in one carriage, while Han Qiao sat in the other.
It was already noon by the time they returned to the county town.
Heng Yi hadn’t returned from the government office yet. She heard that the officers had some other errands to run, so Han Qiao didn’t mind.
Without her grandparents at home, both adults and children were not used to it.
However, they had to get used to it.
In the entire Han family, Han Qiao had the most affection for her grandparents, but this time, the one who hurt her the most was also her grandparents.
Grandpa and Grandma were people who knew the truth, yet they still came to persuade her. Their actions made her feel very uncomfortable.
In truth, she hoped that her grandparents would be biased toward her during their visit.
Unfortunately…
After Han Qiao took a shower and changed her clothes, she leaned on the chaise lounge while Shulan ma.s.saged her legs.
After rubbing her stomach a few times, Han Qiao felt a little uncomfortable.
“Shulan, quickly get someone to call a doctor over to take a look. My stomach hurts a little.”
It hurt slightly.
Han Qiao didn’t dare to be careless. After all, this was her and Heng Yi’s first child.
Shulan was also very anxious.
She quickly went to find a doctor.
Bai Cha was about to go to the government office to fetch Heng Yi, but his face changed slightly after hearing Han Qiao’s words, “I’ll go get him.”
The doctor that Bai Cha had hired was naturally the best in Puyi County, and the price for a house call was quite expensive.
After carefully checking Han Qiao’s pulse, the doctor said, “The baby is a little affected. You have to take good care of it. There’s no need for medicine for the time being.”
“It’s better to stay away from situations that stimulate anger and anxiety in the future.”
Ilan Qiao understood that the cause was her anger during her visit to the Han family.
After all, she didn’t know anything. She was annoyed and uncomfortable that people were trying to persuade her to accept Han Xiang.
She had to go to the I Ian family less in the future.
At the very least, she wouldn’t be going there until the child was born.
Heng Yi was about to go to drink with Wen Yu and the others, but he was surprised to see his servant waiting at the office entrance.
“What are you doing here?”
“Master, Second Master asked me to pick you up. Madam is feeling a little unwell.”
Hearing that, Heng Yi was alarmed.
His calm face was instantly filled with panic. He didn’t even say his goodbyes to Wen Yu and the others and called for the servant to leave after getting on the carriage.
Wen Yu, Gu Jiu, and the others burst out laughing.
“Next time, let’s call him to treat us.”
Heng Yi sat in the carriage and urged the servant to hurry up.
He was panicking.
Han Qiao had gone back to her parent’s home. She had agreed to stay the night, and he had planned to pick her up tomorrow. But to his surprise, Han Qiao returned today.
Something unpleasant must have happened.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, Heng Yi jumped off and briskly walked inside.
Duan Yue received Han Qiao’s order and waited at the door.
“How is the Madam?”
Duan Yue hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Master. Madam is fine.”
Heng Yi felt slightly relieved, but he still hastily walked in.
When he entered the main courtyard, he saw a few kids playing in the yard, smiling and laughing. Heng Yi’s face darkened.
“Your mother is not feeling well. What are you all doing here?”
It was rare for him to reprimand them.
His voice wasn’t heavy.
However, these two sentences had already frightened the children.
Even the mischievous Han Chi stood quietly at the side, not daring to move.
Heng Yi stepped into the house.
The children quickly followed.
In the room, Han Qiao was lying on the bed, covered with a blanket.
Seeing Heng Yi come in, she wanted to get up, but Heng Yi quickly stepped forward and held her shoulders, “If you don’t feel well, lie down. Don’t get up.
It’s fine. It just hurts a little. I’m a little scared too, so I asked the doctor to come over and take a look.” Han Qiao held Heng Yi’s hand.
She noticed that his palms were sweating.
There were large beads of sweat on his forehead as well.
She held his hand and could feel his pulse beating rapidly.
“I’m fine. Don’t panic.” Han Qiao took a handkerchief and wiped Heng Yi’s sweat.
“Go and wash up first. Drink some hot water and sit down.
Yes.” Heng Yi responded in a m.u.f.fled voice.
He got up and went to clean up in the bathroom.
If Heng Yi’s legs shook as he walked to the bathroom, n.o.body needed to know.
The children slowly entered the bedroom.
Han Qiao saw their pale faces, “What’s wrong?”
It was rare for the children to come over to play and even rarer for them to play in the courtyard.
Did Heng Yi scold them?
“You all go and read. I’m fine. You don’t have to stay with me.”
Han Chi hummed and quickly walked away with his younger siblings.
He had always known that his father was an honest man.
Just a few moments ago, his father had only said a few words, but it scared him to his core.
Heng Yi washed up and changed his clothes.
He had been on tenterhooks all the way back, sweating profusely.
He wasn’t afraid of tigers, but when he heard that Han Qiao wasn’t feeling well, he was shocked.
As soon as Heng Yi arrived, Shulan immediately handed him a bowl of white fungus soup.
After swallowing it, Heng Yi went to the bedroom to accompany Han Qiao.
Han Qiao patted the bed beside her and told him to lie down next to her. Then, she told him about what happened at the Han residence today.
“It’s annoying to hear them come and persuade me. I thought they were clear-headed, but now that I think about it, they’re a little confused.”
“Han Xiang is stupid, vicious, and full of evil thoughts. I don’t want to get involved with her at all.”
Han Qiao sighed, “The thing that annoyed me the most was Grandpa and Grandma advising me to be generous. I don’t want to be generous. Once you get stuck to that kind of sticky candy, you can never get rid of it in this lifetime. So, I got so angry that I told them that I will return home with the children, and we won’t be eating lunch. They were probably so anxious.”
“I should make them anxious. I’m being polite. They should take it as their blessing. I’ll show them some power so they won’t think I’m still that weak and easy to manipulate Han Qiao..”
