The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 178

On New Year's Eve this year, Ah Ju led the children back to Yanping Hou Mansion.

Anyway, Zhao Chen and here just live in a separate residence, and the relationship between the father and son is not at a standstill.Last year, Zhao Chen's attitude was firm. This year, Zhao Yuan, the father-in-law's steward, invited him several times, and came to pick him up again early in the morning. Ah Ju's kindness was hard to refuse. In addition, the father-in-law had never seen the three children after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Brother can't remember people, but Cancan misses his grandfather.

As for the mother-in-law, the father-in-law invited her, but the mother-in-law would not go. After all, she is only their foster mother in name.

Dinner is still served in Rongshou Hall.

Ah Ju hasn't seen Mrs. Tai for a long time, and she can't believe it when she sees her again this time.

Mrs. Tai has lost a lot of weight, her previously rosy face has become dry, and the wrinkles on her face have deepened. As soon as they came in, Mrs. Tai got up and rushed to the stroller with the two children, staring at Brother Ping Brother An couldn't fit his mouth with a smile: "This is Brother Ping, everyone says that his eyes look like his father's, and he really does. Brother An is also good-looking, they all look good..."

Talking and crying.

Zhao Yunting hurried over to comfort her, Madam Tai seemed afraid that she would miss a glance, she soon stopped crying, and asked Ah Ju cautiously if she could hug her two great-grandchildren.

At that moment, looking at the tearful eyes of the old man, Ah Ju believed that Mrs. Tai really liked these two great-grandchildren.

Ah Ju didn't hesitate for too long, first picked up Brother Ping, stood in front of Mrs. Tai, and handed it to her.

Mrs. Tai is more than 60 years old. Seeing that she is so old, she is not as good-looking as Mrs. Li. How many years can she live?Aju will not move back here, nor will she often send her two sons to show Mrs. Tai, but it is rare to see her once, and Mrs. Tai really regrets it, and Aju cannot bear to refuse such a simple request from the old man.

Mrs. Tai burst into tears again, turned around and wiped them away, and then carefully went to pick up Brother Ping.Brother Ping was a bit self-conscious, shrank into his mother's arms, and refused to be hugged by Mrs. Tai, even after Ah Ju coaxed him a few times.Mrs. Tai stretched out her hand and waited for a while, her eyes gradually dimmed, she withdrew her hand and said: "Forget it, I have committed too many crimes myself, and I deserve this retribution."

I've been confused for a lifetime, and I'm about to sink into the ground. Only after seeing the filial mothers and filial sons of other people's families, I realized what mistake I made.

Aju looked at her father-in-law, Zhao Yunting shook her head at her, and Aju put Brother Ping back to Anger's side.Brother An turned his head and said ah-ah to his brother. Brother Ping picked up the big ball next to him and stuffed it into his brother's arms. The two little guys played like nothing happened.

The corners of Mrs. Tai's mouth curled up again, staring at the two great-grandsons reluctantly to take her eyes off.

Standing beside her mother, Cancan kept looking at Mrs. Tai with her big eyes. Mrs. Tai slowly realized it and turned to look at her.Cancan hid beside her mother, and when Mrs. Tai wanted to look away, she couldn't help asking: "Does great-grandmother want to hug Cancan? Give Cancan to great-grandmother." She likes her grandfather, and her great-grandmother is her grandfather's mother. , that should be a very close relative.

The little girl didn't know anything. She didn't know that her great-grandmother used to make things difficult for her favorite mother. She didn't know that her great-grandmother wanted to change her father's wife after a long time. She didn't know that it was because her great-grandmother wanted to take her away. It was only then that I was completely hated by my father.She just didn't understand why her great-grandmother wanted to hug her two younger brothers but didn't say she wanted to hug her, and felt sad about it.

But Mrs. Tai knows.

She seemed to have been slapped heavily on the face. When everyone detested her, her granddaughter was still expecting her to hug her.

Suppressing tears, Mrs. Tai bent down and slowly hugged the little girl up: "Cancan is so beautiful, of course great-grandmother wants to hug her."

Cancan was very happy, she turned her head and smiled at her mother.

Ah Ju felt complicated, and took her daughter and put her on the ground: "Cancan is too heavy, great-grandmother can't hold it."

Cancan nodded obediently.

Mrs. Tai touched the little girl's head, and wanted to invite everyone to sit down at the table, but from the corner of her eyes, she saw two boys in the cart looking at her.Mrs. Tai's heart moved, and she reached out to Brother Ping again, "Brother Ping, give great-grandmother a hug?"

Brother Ping looked at his sister, and stretched out his hand towards the old man.

Mrs. Tai was overjoyed, and hugged Ang for a while.Brother and sister were hugged, and Brother An didn't resist.

Over there, Zhao Qing only hugged his little niece, he didn't approach the two boys, he is an adult after all.Zhao Yi didn't have so many worries, and his nephews and nieces loved each other to their heart's content.When eating in the evening, Zhao Yunting broke the rule of not talking when eating in Rongshoutang for the first time in so many years, which finally made this New Year's Eve more humane.

After the meal, Ah Ju pushed the three children back to Zhuxuan, where Mother Jiang had already brought someone over to clean up, just like before.

Because brother Ping and brother An can sleep well for one night, Cancan moved back to mother's house again, and took pictures of brothers sleeping with mother, and when brother fell asleep, mother was her own, Cancan Chan asked his mother to turn around and hug her, and tell her a story.The daughter's small body was warm, and Ah Ju's heart was soft, and she whispered to her daughter about Daddy winning battles on horseback.

But they didn't know that the carriage with the mark of Marquis Wuying's mansion that sent them over quietly drove out of Marquis of Yanping's mansion.

Arriving at Marquis Wuying's mansion, the porter who had already slept saw his own carriage, opened the door in a hurry, and asked the driver in a low voice, "Didn't you agree to spend there tonight?"

"Missy left something at the wife's side. I need to use it tomorrow morning. Send Miss Cuiyu to pick it up. You stay here first, and I will send Miss Cuiyu to the gate of the wife's courtyard, and I will come out in a while." The coachman simply instructed. , and went in directly after speaking.

Ning's side has been locked, the gatekeeper heard the movement and came to open the door, but when she heard Zhao Yunting's voice, she didn't dare to open it for a while, so she hurriedly sent someone inside to ask the wife for instructions.Now Ning's people here have been serving her since Dengzhou, and they were also arranged by Zhao Yunting at the beginning, and they are well aware of the relationship between the two, so they are not surprised.

Mrs. Ning lay down, and when Wen Wenmei said that Zhao Yunting had come, thinking that the man had been peaceful and peaceful all year, he probably came here because of an urgent matter, and thinking of his son far away in the northwest, all sleepiness disappeared immediately, and asked Wen Mei went to meet him, and quickly put on her clothes, simply put her hair in a bun and went outside to wait for him.

"Did something happen to Chengyuan?" As soon as Zhao Yunting came in, Ning asked worriedly.

Zhao Yunting glanced at the door of the inner room, and motioned for Wenmei to put away the tea and go out.Wenmei knew without his reminder, bowed her head and left.

Only the husband and wife were left in the room, Zhao Yunting whispered while taking off his cloak: "Chengyuan is fine, don't think too much, I came here to tell you another matter, about father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Her son was safe and sound, Ning felt relieved and wanted to sit at the table and talk to him.Zhao Yunting grabbed her by the hand, picked her up the next moment, and strode towards the inner room: "It's cold outside, judging by your face, you should have just come out of the bed? Let's lie down and say, don't freeze you. "

Ning looked at his chest: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Zhao Yunting put the person on the edge of the kang, raised her chin and looked into her eyes: "Yes, I told you when I brought you back to Beijing that I will spend New Year's Eve with you every year in the future, and tonight is no exception. Don't worry outside, I came here in the name of Cuiyu coming back to fetch things for Cancan, and I will go back tomorrow morning with the same reason."

Ning didn't speak anymore.

In a moment of impatience just now, I forgot that he sneaked in pretending to be a servant on New Year's Eve last year.

She already knew how paranoid Zhao Yunting was towards her. After so many years, there was no need to make a fuss over this night.

She sat still, Zhao Yunting took off his coat first and then went to the kang to help her off. After both of them lay down, he hugged his wife whom he hadn't touched for a year, and deeply smelled the familiar orchid fragrance on her body, " Lan Rong, are you really used to sleeping alone every night?" He was not used to it, he had to think about her for a long time every night before falling asleep.

Ning Shi ignored the hand on her chest, closed her eyes and said: "Cancan slept with me a while ago. You said you have news about my parents, what is it?"

The business is important, Zhao Yunting put away his thoughts for the time being, turned the man around and hugged him and said: "The person who framed the father-in-law back then couldn't be found for a long time, and he probably was silenced long ago. If he can't find someone, he can't reverse the case for the father-in-law. I don't want to judge that it was an unjust case handled by the late emperor, but the emperor said that Chengyuan first made contributions in the southern Xinjiang battle, and this time he will perform a great service again. The emperor can pardon the Ning family, and the former male Ding official of the Yuning family will be reinstated. Lan Rong, you will be able to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law in a few months."

"Thank you." Ning said softly.

She spoke the truth.Although the Ning family suffered because of Zhao Yunting, if Zhao Yunting hadn't worked hard to seek justice for himself and the Ning family, her family would not be able to come back, and she could only blame herself for the rest of her life.This time, Zhao Yunting gave all the credit to his son, but Ning has already heard from his son that Wu Qi's family was found by Zhao Yunting...

Zhao Yunting laughed at himself: "You are slapping me in the face when you say that."

He didn't like to hear it, so Ning didn't say anything.

The atmosphere froze, Zhao Yunting felt a little regretful, and lowered his head to coax her: "Lan Rong, Zhao Qing is well educated this year, and he has no problem with being a Jinshi. Then he decided to be sent out to work. Zhao Yi is fourteen, and when the spring is over, I will send him a Her marriage is settled, and she will marry this year. Lan Rong, my mother has also sincerely regretted it. When I get forgiveness from my father-in-law and mother-in-law, you will marry me again? Let's have another one, just like back then, okay?"

With these words again, Ning turned around helplessly, "I'll say it one last time, I just want to live with Chengyuan and the others, and I won't..."

Before she finished speaking and before she turned around, the man pressed her up, held her face and kissed her deeply.
