The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 71 The Future Is Yours
When night fell, Ah Ju was awakened by Zhao Chen's soft voice, and she opened her eyes, which were blank because of sleepiness.

"Well, it's all up to you." Zhao Chen responded heartily, took his coat and waited for her. As soon as Ah Ju sat up, he continued to rush to help.Ah Ju couldn't compete with him, so she lowered her eyes and obediently let him fiddle with her.Knowing how angry she was, Zhao Chen didn't dare to do anything else, fastened the buttons of her clothes skillfully, took another breath, then jumped off the ground and went out, telling the maids to prepare water.

There was a charming atmosphere in the quilt, Ah Ju didn't dare to look at it, and was about to get off the kang.The shoes were placed under the edge of the kang, she stepped on the inside first, and wanted to stand firm before lifting the shoes, but she didn't have any strength in her legs, so she fell straight forward, just in time Zhao Chen came in through the curtain, before he could see clearly, he stretched out his hand to put the shoes on. People picked it up.

"Why are you so careless?" He carried her to the edge of the kang, saw that she wanted to put on shoes, so he squatted there, picked up the shoes and helped her put them on.

Ah Ju wanted to blame him, but when he saw him putting on his shoes with concentration, as if he was used to it, he couldn't complain anymore.

After putting on the shoes, Zhao Chen got up and saw her tilting her head with a slightly annoyed expression, she understood after a little thought, hugged her and whispered, "Are your legs still sore? Come on, I'll help you and walk in the house Just two steps." She was so delicate that she was tired even sitting in the tub, and she was all dependent on him to move.

Ah Ju didn't refuse, she stood up with his arms supported, her legs were shaking all the time, it was only because of his support that she didn't fall down, and it took a while to get used to it.Worried about being spotted by his in-laws, Ah Ju leaned into the man's arms and begged him in a low voice: "Stop doing this during the day, okay? I can't even walk..." This time he held back for too long, there was nothing he could do.

"Okay." She was so delicate, how could Zhao Chen refuse?As for whether he can do it or not, he doesn't think about it.Some things must be done as they say, and there is no need to be so serious about things in this kind of couple's house.

He promised too quickly, Ah Ju didn't quite believe it, looked up at him, he smiled softly, and looked obedient, too unlike him made people even more suspicious.

But what can she do?He really thought, with his strength, is she still at the mercy of others?
Just don't bother thinking about it, just guard against him in the future.

After washing, Zhao Chen waited for her, and Lu Yun came in to comb Ah Ju's hair.She, Mother Jiang and others also arrived.

The pretty face of the woman in the mirror was blushing, her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with water, and like dewdrops hanging from a newly bloomed lotus, she was so glamorous.Ah Ju has never seen himself like this before, after one glance, he was embarrassed to look again, and after tidying up, he whispered to Zhao Chen: "Let's go for a walk in the yard." Let the wind blow away the redness on his face , so I can see my in-laws.

Zhao Chen looked down at his wife, aware of her concern, and nodded in agreement.

As long as he knows how beautiful she is when she is in full bloom.

After Zhao Chen and Ah Ju walked around and turned to the hall door, Zhao Yunting and his wife were already waiting there.

Ning called her daughter-in-law to sit beside her, and asked her softly if she slept well, Ah Ju nodded slightly, not daring to look over to Zhao Chen.Ning didn't ask any further questions, and said with concern: "You have been traveling by boat for so long, and you have lost weight. After you return home, take good care of it. The girl's house is still rounder and more beautiful."

Ah Ju still nodded, "Lao Niang, don't worry."

Ning smiled and asked Mei Chuanfan.

Zhao Chen sat across from Ah Ju, looking at his wife, feeling a little distressed.After getting married, Ah Ju actually raised some meat and came back. It’s just that the long-distance fatigue caused her to lose weight. Although she looks good when she is thin, he still hopes that she will be fatter, just like when they first met. She is having a good time.

When the dumplings were served, the mother and son made dumplings for Ah Ju one after another, just like when they were in Tongwan, the family came as they were comfortable.

Ah Ju glanced at her father-in-law uneasily, her mother-in-law and her husband have lived in the country for so long, maybe they don't care much about the rules, and her father-in-law is Lord Hou, do you think it's so inappropriate?
Zhao Yunting didn't think it was wrong, the family of three used to talk and laugh when eating, but later something happened in the family, he was too lazy to listen to Mrs Qin and Mrs Tai's chatter, so he changed the rules, not talking too much during meals.

He just has a bit of a taste for food, he doesn't know if his daughter-in-law is thin or not, but he is obviously thin, why can't his wife persuade him to eat more?
The pantothenic desire in his eyes was so obvious that the three people beside him could see it.It's a pity that the Ning family can't do what he wished, Zhao Chen can coax his mother, but he can't do coaxing his father.As for Ah Ju, although he was a little surprised and sympathetic, he couldn't take food for his father-in-law no matter what, so he pretended not to notice.

During the whole meal, Zhao Yunting almost passed with a forced smile on his face.

After dinner, Zhao Chen led his wife back to the backyard.

Zhao Yunting sighed, looking at the steaming dishes on the table, he didn't want to leave.

"I'm about to become a grandfather. As for sighing over such a trivial matter?" Ning said helplessly. Whether she likes it or not, the two of them have lived for so many years, and it is impossible to completely ignore it.

Zhao Yunting looked up at her, unable to hide his bitterness: "I am about to become a grandfather, but my grandson and his grandmother don't care about me."

His grandson's grandmother?

Ning Shi was amused by these words, looked at him, raised his chopsticks and picked up a dumpling for him and put it in the bowl.That's right, he is her grandson's grandfather. If nothing else happens, he is the only one who can grow old with her and make fun of her grandson. No matter how you live, it's just a matter of life, so what if you let him be happy once?

He tried his best to marry her, but in the end he didn't get much good.

Seeing the man smile and put the dumplings into his mouth, Ning was slightly dazed. In another 20 years, the two of them will be like this, right?
"What are you thinking about? I'm going back to my room, and I have to wait for them to serve tea tomorrow morning." Zhao Yunting wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, walked over contentedly, and held his wife's hand and said.

Ning nodded, stood up, and went back to the bedroom with him.

The night was getting darker, and after washing up, she got into bed, and Ah Ju leaned into Zhao Chen's arms and talked to him: "Father is quite pitiful." She could tell that father-in-law liked mother-in-law very much, and mother-in-law smiled, even if it was smiling at her , the father-in-law on the side can see it fascinated, that kind of satisfaction revealed inadvertently can't deceive anyone.

Zhao Chen kissed her forehead, but said nothing.

Ah Ju slept a lot during the day, but now she wanted to talk to him, and asked again: "Did you pick up food for your father when you were young?"

When she was interested in chatting, Zhao Chen accompanied her, "Let's pick it up, I don't remember it anymore. What, you blame me for not picking up food for him tonight? Silly, how old am I? It's not like he's too old to lift his arms. Both of us will be uncomfortable." The difference between a son and a daughter is here, and a girl can act like a baby at any age.

That's true, Ah Ju blinked, thinking of her mother-in-law, mother-in-law... Thinking of the Qin family and the two aunts in the Hou's mansion, Ah Ju felt sorry for her mother-in-law again.No matter how difficult the father-in-law is, he has met other people and had children. The father-in-law has his helplessness, but the mother-in-law is a wife, even if she can accept it intellectually, she will feel uncomfortable in her heart, right?Fortunately, mother-in-law doesn't like father-in-law, so they will be less sad. If Zhao Chen...

Ah Ju shook her head, not wanting to think about it again, why worry about it before things happen?

She shook her head in his arms, Zhao Chen became curious, lowered his head and asked her: "What are you thinking?"

How could Ah Ju say that?

Ah Ju covered her ears and didn't want to listen.

Tea was offered the next morning, and after a sumptuous New Year's dinner at noon, the group boarded the carriage again and headed for the capital.

Ah Ju was apprehensive and nervous, and kept looking out of the car window.

About two hours later, the red sun was setting and the setting sun was shining everywhere, and the sky was getting darker. She saw the mighty walls of the capital city.

"Don't worry, we're just going home." Zhao Chen lowered the curtains and hugged her tightly, trying to calm her anxiety.

Ah Ju also wanted to be calm and calm, but she really couldn't control it. She was about to deal with people in the Hou's mansion, and the principles that she had figured out at home suddenly seemed to have lost their effect.What should I do if I accidentally break the rules?What should I do if I make him lose face?Father said that when he took the children's exam, his hands were shaking a little, and it took him a while to pick up a pen to write. Ah Ju felt that she was about to enter the exam room now.

Her hands trembled slightly, Zhao Chen had no choice but to raise the corner of the car curtain again, let her see the prosperity of the capital, and tell her about his childhood.As we talked, the pedestrians on the streets on both sides gradually became less and less, but the house became more and more magnificent...

The carriage stopped suddenly.

Human voices came from outside, Ah Ju panicked, and couldn't help but grabbed Zhao Chen's hand.

"Why are you so stupid." Zhao Chen kissed her cheek helplessly and compassionately, he didn't get out of the car in a hurry, but opened the curtain, pointed to the high door wall to let her see, "Did you see it? This is the residence of our Zhao family."

Ah Ju saw it, of course, and didn't understand what he wanted to say.

Zhao Chen kissed her again, looked out together with her, and whispered in her ear: "Ah Ju, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of those maids? Don't be afraid, you are my wife, the grandma of the Hou Mansion, which one?" If the servant girl dares to disrespect you, you can do whatever you want. Afraid of the Qin family? There is no need to be afraid of her. She just occupies the title of a lady. Except for her own yard, she has no control over our side. If she dares to come, let's just blow her away You don't even need to be polite when you meet, and you don't have to worry about your reputation at all. Based on the grievances between her and us, you treat her like a mother, so that people in the capital will look down on her. As for Mrs. Tai, she still has a few years to live ?”

"She is your grandmother after all?" He was rebellious, and Ah Ju couldn't help reminding him in a low voice.The grandma and grandma in the family passed away long ago, and Ah Ju has never seen them, but every year when they go to the grave, their parents will cry, so in Ah Ju's eyes, grandparents are also very close, after all, they are connected by blood.

Zhao Chen sneered: "It is because she is my grandmother that I asked you to save her some face and call her. Aju, remember, she is lying to you, and you treat her the same. If she dares to rely on her grandmother to make things difficult for you, you naturally don't have to be merciful, let alone listen to her foolishly."

"I……"

"Aju, trust me."

I had to get off the car. Zhao Chen didn't have time to make any promises. He just held her face in his hands and said finally: "Trust me, I will take good care of you. As for others, you just need to remember that you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou family. It will be Mrs. Shizi, Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Tai of the Hou Mansion, everything in this family belongs to you, those people are only staying temporarily, and you are the mistress of the Hou Mansion. Do you have the confidence to think so?"

All hers?

Looking at the calm and confident husband in front of her, Ah Ju nodded, and a certain position in her heart gradually became firm.
