The older children played with the younger ones. They didn’t fight or make trouble. All of them acted very sweet and even knew to greet other people. In the past, if it weren’t for the adults reminding them, they never would’ve greeted people on their own initiative. Now, they had all changed.
The older boys were in the front yard, while the younger children stayed in the back yard with their mother consorts. Consort An and others went to visit Consort Hui. Once they were done, they sat down to drink tea and chatted with each other. Meanwhile, the children who were of similar ages as each other all played at the side.
“It seems that older sister-in-law doesn’t have many days left?” said Consort Wu
“Seeing her in such a state, I doubt she will recover.” Even Consort An couldn’t help but sigh.
The women were silent. They all knew what had happened in the palace that day. They already expected that Consort Hui wouldn’t have long to live, but there had been no news. They never expected it to happen a year later.
“Living in such a state, it’d be better to die,” said Consort Lu.
These words were a bit harsh, but they weren’t wrong.
“Enough, enough. Let’s not talk about her anymore. Talking about these unhappy things on such a big day, let’s talk about something else instead!”
Then the women started chatting about other topics. Yaoniang and Xiao Jirou looked at each other, their eyes bleak.
At the same time, Jin Wang and the others were getting along in the front yard.
Including Hui Wang. In the past, he often said things out of turn, but now that his son was getting married, he restrained himself a lot.
Dai Wang kept having this feeling that Jin Wang was looking at him, so he quietly looked over several times. Yet, every time he glanced over, Jin Wang wasn’t looking at him. After the last time, he couldn’t bear it any longer and asked, “Fifth brother, why are you always looking at me?”
Jin Wang looked at him and blinked.
Jin Wang didn’t speak, but Lu Wang said, “Third brother, does fifth brother seem like someone who likes to stare at people? Could it be that you’ve been peaked at by girls and became a little oversensitive?”
There was a story behind ‘being peaked at by girls’, which the brothers were all familiar with. They all laughed at the mention of it.
Dai Wang said: “Alright, alright. You only know how to make fun of your third brother.”
He laughed and shook his head, as if very helpless. He was born with a square face and narrow eyes, a high nose and thick lips. Generally speaking, Dai Wang was the most honest-looking and had the plainest face among the brothers. He didn’t resemble Emperor Hongjing or Empress Wei.
Don’t look at Hui Wang’s current weight. Before he became fat, Hui Wang was handsome without comparison. He was born with both the good features of Emperor Hongjing and Empress Wei, but Dai Wang had been inconspicuous from birth. The two brothers did not seem like brothers born from the same parents at all.
With the laughter, the subject was naturally changed, and no one brought it up again. But afterwards, Dai Wang would always turn to look at Jin Wang, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Once the banquet was over, by the time Yaoniang and Jin Wang returned to Jin Wang Manor, it was already dark.
After washing and changing into comfortable clothes, Hong Chou came in with a letter in her hand. “Niangniang, there is a letter to you from Jinzhou.”
When she heard that it was from Jinzhou, Yaoniang immediately took the letter to look at it. Indeed, it was a letter from her sister.
Before the New Year’s, Yaoniang had someone send a carriage of New Year gifts to Jinzhou. She wrote that she had arrived safely and mentioned the current situation. The guard who escorted the carriage there also returned with a letter for Yaoniang. The letter said that Huiniang and Yao Cheng were living very well and the little ones were also doing well. They asked Yaoniang not to worry about them and to live her life well.
The content of this letter was similar to the previous one, but it also included some interesting stories. As she read it, Yaoniang wanted to both laugh and cry. As she laughed and laughed, tears soon fell from her eyes.
She missed her sister.
Jin Wang pulled her over and hugged her. “If you really miss your sister, have her come to the capital to live for a while.”
Yaoniang wiped her tears. “No, there are too many things happening in the capital recently.”
“What do these matters have to do with them? Do you doubt benwang’s abilities to protect a few people?”
“Of course not. But it’s better to wait for the situation to get better.”
In Yaoniang’s heart, it was best for Jin Wang to keep a low profile at this time. She wasn’t afraid of her elder sister and brother-in-law coming over. However, if Mrs. Li came and got into trouble with someone, wouldn’t that cause trouble for Jin Wang? Besides, at the thought that if her sister and brother-in-law came, the Li family would also come, she immediately lost all interest.
It had to be said that this Li Family was quite capable to leave such a strong psychological shadow on Yaoniang.
While Yaoniang and Jin Wang were talking, they didn’t know that the Yao Family was already on their way here. Not only was there the Yao Family, but also the Su Family.
