Uncle Wan smiled and said, “Young Master has already instructed me to prepare the gifts. He said that he will accompany Young Madam back to the village tomorrow.”
He originally planned to go today, but the weather was stuffy and hot today. There would probably be heavy rain later. Yan Jiuchao did not want Yu Wan to be drenched.
Yu Wan did not even know that Yan Jiuchao had actually arranged for her to return to the village. This fellow always managed the matters around her without batting an eyelid. She did not have to worry at all, nor did she have to remind him.
“But shouldn’t we go to the Xiao Manor first?” Shangguan Yan had a child. From an etiquette point of view, they were both in the Capital, so there was no reason not to go to her place to visit first. However, this involved another problem—Prince Yan’s thoughts.
It was understandable to visit Shangguan Yan, but the key was still Shangguan Yan and Xiao Zhenting’s child.
Prince Yan clearly still had feelings for Shangguan Yan. Would he mind them visiting Yan Jiuchao’s half-brother?
Just as Yu Wan was feeling conflicted, she heard someone report from outside the door, “Grand Marshal Xiao is here!”
Xiao Zhenting?
Yu Wan was stunned.
Uncle Wan was also stunned. Although Uncle Wan knew more about the news in the capital than Yu Wan, most of it was from letters. There were some things that would be difficult to believe if one did not see it with their own eyes.
“Could it be—” Uncle Wan murmured.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Wan asked. Could it be something? Could it be that Xiao Zhenting had come to fight with Prince Yan? The flames of war between the two men had finally erupted?!
Uncle Wan said, “There’s something I forgot to tell Young Madam. The Princess Consort went to the temple to make her wish.”
“For the child?” Yu Wan asked.
Uncle Wan shook his head. “It’s for Young Master. Back then, the Princess Consort went to Nanzhao. She probably understood that Young Master had gone to find the antidote. Worried that Young Master wouldn’t be able to return, she went to White Cloud Temple outside the capital to make a wish. She said that as long as Young Master returned safely, she was willing to use real gold to reconstruct Buddha’s golden body. The Princess Consort left for the temple overnight, afraid that it would be too late to make a wish, that Buddha felt that she was not sincere and took Young Master’s life back.”
“This…” Although Yu Wan did not believe in God and Buddha, she expressed a lot of understanding and respect for Shangguan Yan’s faith.
Shangguan Yan gave birth in July and had just finished her confinement. It was very tiring to travel overnight.
“But… What does this have to do with Grand Marshal Xiao coming to the Young Master Manor?” What he said at this juncture should be related, right? Uncle Wan was not a person with wild thoughts.
Uncle Wan cleared his throat. “According to the people in the manor, Grand
Marshal Xiao came to visit when the Princess Consort was still in confinement.
That time, the Princess Consort went out.”
“Why would she go out during confinement?” Yu Wan was puzzled.
Uncle Wan sighed. “It was to pray for Young Master’s safety. She will personally go to the temple every month.”
This was too much. She was not vounq anymore. If she did not sit properlv
during confinement, there would be aftereffects.
However, Yu Wan still did not understand what connection Shangguan Yan’s departure had with Xiao Zhenting coming to the Young Master Manor. Shouldn’t he accompany Shangguan Yan?
“The Princess Consort was frightened by the Young Master’s matter. And the child had to have his parents around. If she’s not around, Grand Marshal Xiao has to be.” If it wasn’t for the fact that the child was young, Uncle Wan suspected that the Princess Consort would bring the child to the temple.
People’s guesses about things were based on their past experience and understanding. It was obvious from Yu Wan’s experience and understanding that her husband would come to meet her ex-husband in private when the wife went out.
It was very strange!
Yu Wan still did not understand. At this moment, Xiao Zhenting had already entered with might. The way he entered… Uh… was even stranger than the way he came to look for Prince Yan.
The mighty and strong man who was like a mountain was stretching his arms straight and stiffly holding a basket covered with a gauze curtain. His expression was nervous and careful, and he even felt a little… like he was facing a great enemy.
Yu Wan was thinking about what was in the basket and why it frightened him so much when she heard a cry.
Oh my god! It was a child!
Xiao Zhenting’s entire body trembled! It was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he wished he could jump up on the spot.
“You, you, you, you, you… come out quickly!” Xiao Zhenting shouted in shock.
“Is he calling me?” Yu Wan murmured.
Yu Wan walked out. However, before she could take two steps, Xiao Zhenting darted past her. Yu Wan was stunned again. Xiao Zhenting actually didn’t notice her? How shocked was he?
The child cried harder and harder. Xiao Zhenting broke out in cold sweat. He walked around the corridor with ease, stepped into the study, and placed the basket on someone’s desk.
Prince Yan glanced at him indifferently. “What are you doing?”
“He, he, he, he… he cried!” Xiao Zhenting said with his eyes wide open.
“What does your son crying have to do with me?” Prince Yan said indifferently.
It was unknown how these words agitated the little fellow in the basket, but the little fellow cried even harder. It was simply heartbreaking! Xiao Zhenting’s heart ached. “You, you, you… coax him.”
“No,” Prince Yan said coldly. “Coax him.”
“Coax your own son.”
Xiao Zhenting stretched out his arm that was as thick as a normal person’s thigh and picked up the little fellow. He was probably really too strong. It was unknown how he hurt the little fellow when he moved gently. The little fellow cried so hard that the roof was about to be overturned.
Prince Yan looked at his clumsy posture. His fingertips moved, but he held it in.
Xiao Zhenting was flustered. “I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore!”
A child was simply more terrifying than a thousand troops! He, Xiao Zhenting, had never been afraid of being thrown into a corpse cave filled with skeletons. However, he knelt down in a second when it came to raising children.
In the end, Prince Yan took the child over.
“Dabao and the others are asleep. I don’t want to disturb them,” Prince Yan said indifferently.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Xiao Zhenting nodded vigorously like an obedient ferocious beast.
Speaking of which, it was strange. The child who was wailing in Xiao
Zhenting’s hands stopped fooling around once he was in Prince Yan’s arms.
This child was in full term, but it was unknown if it was because Shangguan Yan was too worried when she was pregnant with him, he was only five pounds when he was born. He was thin and his cries were weak. Xiao Zhenting, this burly man, did not dare to carry him, afraid that he would accidentally do something to him.
Shangguan Yan was actually not very good at taking care of newborn children. At that time, Yan Jiuchao had a wet nurse and maidservant. Of course, there were also those in the Xiao Manor now, but once bitten, twice shy. Shangguan Yan felt that she could not be careless. She picked the wet nurse again and again, and what she could do could not be done by others.
Prince Yan was quite meticulous. Yan Jiuchao was not big when he was born. Shangguan Yan did not dare to put on clothes for him. So it was Prince Yan who put the clothes on for him. This was an extremely considerate man. He could call the shots in the court. When he returned home, he could put down all his airs and be gentle to the bone.
The little fellow grabbed Prince Yan’s fingers and blew milk bubbles. He stopped crying and making a fuss. He widened his black grape-like eyes and looked at Prince Yan in confusion.
“Alright, he’s fine. Don’t cover him anymore. Children are afraid of heat.” Prince Yan took off the little fellow’s thick coat and placed it back in the cradle.
The little fellow widened his eyes quietly and was extremely obedient.
Xiao Zhenting walked over and looked at the obedient little fellows in the basket. He threatened in a low voice, “I’m your father! If you cry again, I’ll beat you up!”
The little fellow looked at him and suddenly pouted, crying!
