Chapter 247: Killing Intent
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhen Niang was stunned by the sudden question.
She had never thought about what would happen to Zhao Huan if she ever got married.
“Of course I want you to be happy.”
“As for myself, if I meet a suitable person, 1 will marry myself.”
However, Zhen Niang had high standards.
She wanted to find someone who was good in all aspects, but it doesn’t matter if he likes her or not.
Moreover, she had no qualms about meat and vegetables. She could marry Sun Yiming, be obsessed with Zhao Huan, and even fool around with the manservant.
Zhao Huan was silent for a while before saying, “Zhen Niang, find a house and move out. Just give me the money I invested in that restaurant. I don’t want to do business anymore.”
Hearing this, Zhen Niang stood up.
“What do you mean?” She said sternly.
“You and the servant… I saw you two kissing in the house that night. He’s been in your room these past few nights.”
Zhen Niang thought that Zhao Huan was jealous.
“Huan, if you are unwilling, I will immediately break off with that servant. We should go and rest now. I-”
“Zhen Niang, you misunderstood me.” Zhao Huan took a deep breath, “I will go and meet Master Yun and then seriously find someone to marry. Perhaps I’m not suitable for business. I’m only suitable to be a rich lady who takes care of everything.”
“Zhen Niang, don’t fight with Han Qiao. We can’t win against her. We might as well live our own life and stay far away from her.”
Zhen Niang sneered, “Are you afraid because your son is in her hands? Huan, it’s your business! Even if you don’t fight for it, I won’t let go. I will move out as soon as possible. That servant…”
“I’ll send you the message”
Zhao Huan didn’t explain why she had parted ways with Zhen Niang.
Zhen Niang hated Zhao Huan for this.
It wasn’t that she lacked the money to buy a house and servants. She just felt that she wouldn’t be staying in Puyi County forever, so there was no need to buy one.
Since Zhao Huan had asked her to leave, she wouldn’t be so shameless as to stay.
Zhen Niang stood up and immediately sent someone to the Broker Shop. She also sent someone to pack up her things and bring the silver notes to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan’s name was written on the deed of the shop.
She trusted Zhao Huan, but she didn’t expect Zhao Huan to chase her away.
“I’ll give you the silver notes. When are you going to the government house to change the deed?” Zhen Niang asked coldly.
“Anytime.”
“Then let’s go. I’ll move out as well.”
Seeing that Zhen Niang was about to leave, Zhao Huan asked worriedly, “If you move out now, where will you stay tonight?”
“There’s an inn outside.”
“You don’t have to be in such a hurry to move away…”
Zhen Niang glanced at Zhao Huan indifferently and didn’t say anything.
But she definitely wouldn’t stay any longer.
Her pride wouldn’t let her.
Seeing this, Zhao Huan did not force her to stay.
They were not friends to begin with, and they were together because of a common enemy. Now that Zhao Huan had no intention to fight, she thought about how Zhen Niang ate and lived with her. She was also the one to spend her money and Zhen Niang almost brought her into the ditch with the amount of spending they made.
With doubts and resentment in their hearts, how could they stay as peaceful as they were before?
Even on the surface, she couldn’t pretend.
It was better to go their separate ways.
How could Zhao Huan know that her lack of hesitation had sowed seeds of killing intent aimed at her in Zhen Niang’s heart?
Back in Heng Mansion, things became a little worrying.
They could not let the child starve.
However, when the nannies came over and tried again, the little boy still refused to eat.
All he did was hug his mother.
Perhaps it was true that mother and son were connected by heart. He stopped crying whenever he was in Han Qiao’s arms.
Han Qiao had no choice but to nurse the child herself.
However, she could not do it herself. After the confinement period, she still had to be busy with other things. Moreover, at this time, she had already made a lot of wine and dried it according to the method she was taught. However, she did not have much glutinous rice at the moment, so she could not make a large amount of glutinous rice.
She could only leave it there.
In order to nurse the child, the female doctor came over to give Han Qiao acupuncture. It was so painful that she was drenched in sweat.
Fortunately, the child could eat soon after the silver needles were removed.
Han Qiao gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
The child’s mouth still hurt her so much that she hissed and gasped.
However, the pain brought her this bundle of joy and that made her extremely happy.
Heng Yi walked into this scene when he returned with the chicken soup in his hands.
He thought that this was the most beautiful, heartwarming, and heart-stirring scene in the world.
The weak woman was feeding her young child.
Gentle and kind feelings lingered around her.
“Heng Yi, what are you doing standing there?” Han Qiao said softly.
She then switched the child to the other side.
Heng Yi looked away, but couldn’t help but look again.
Han Qiao gasped in pain.
“Did he bite you?” Heng Yi asked.
Han Qiao laughed, “He’s still so young. How could he bite? Do you think he’s like you?”
Thinking of what he had done, Heng Yi blushed.
“D-drink the chicken soup. I’ve already removed the oil and added some medicinal herbs to nourish the body.”
He scooped some and blew on it before feeding it to Han Qiao.
“The doctor said that you should eat less now. Even if you have an appet.i.te, you can’t eat too much, but you have to eat more, just not at once. The bird’s nest is still stewed.”
“Alright,”
One fed the other.
Both were eating their own food.
It was an exceptionally heartwarming scene.
After eating, the child p.o.o.ped.
Han Qiao was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
She had never raised a child before. She remembered everything about the original host’s habits, but she didn’t dare to do anything herself.
“Call Pucao over.”
Pucao’s family was poor, and she was the older sister who had to take care of her younger siblings. She was especially quick and meticulous in doing these things. She quickly wiped the child’s b.u.t.tocks and changed his diapers.
She cleaned the baby up and placed him back beside Han Qiao.
“Pucao,”
“Madam?”
Pucao stood by the bedside respectfully.
After recuperating for so many days, her face was rosy and she was clean. She did not put on any makeup and her nails were neatly trimmed.
“In the future, will you take care of the little young master? You don’t have to do anything else. I will send two more maids to help you.”
Pucao looked up at Han Qiao.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
“He still needs to have a nanny by his side. If he doesn’t want to eat with the nanny, they will squeeze some milk into a bowl and feed him with a spoon. No matter when, there must be two people by the young master’s side.”
“Yes.”
Pucao wanted to say that she could take care of the young master by herself.
However, this was the young master. Seeing how much Master and Madam valued him, she did not dare to boast.
It was good to have two more maids to help her.
Fortunately, the child was not close to the nanny and was willing to eat when she fed him with a spoon.
The two nannies who had given birth to baby girls were left behind.
Before dinner, the children came to visit their younger brother again.
Because of the hot weather, the little baby kicked his socks off.
Sun Ke said in surprise, “Mother, there’s a red mole at the bottom of my brother’s foot.”
Hearing this, Han Qiao remembered that Heng Yi also had one under his feet.
It seemed like this was hereditary.
“Mother, little brother is so white!”
“You can also become whiter if you eat more bird’s nests. It had to be stewed every day. You all are still young, so you don’t have to eat too much. Just half a bowl will do.”
Their faces were covered in protein, and they were still growing. It would be good to eat some to slowly nourish their bodies.
The three sisters agreed softly.
He Cheng also pulled Han Qiao and said, “Mother, I want to eat too.”
“Then eat. I’ll arrange for you and your brother to eat too.”
Han Qiao rubbed He Cheng’s head.
She did not stop loving him just because he had a biological son.
He Cheng grinned, his eyes filled with joy..
