”I've been together for the past few days, but I don't feel like it. Back when I went out with my husband a few times, every time I came back, I felt like he has grown up.” Xiaowan said, ”I was just afraid that he would grow up too quickly. I said that since boys grow up, I won't be with my mother anymore.
Lian Yi laughed, ”That may not be so. Little Pei likes his sister-in-law this much, so when he grows up, he will definitely be intimate with you.”
The Xiaowan laid down on her bed and Lian Yi waved her fan lightly. She mentioned that Ershan was also very concerned about him and wanted to go home to see her sister-in-law.
”If I don't give birth to a child for Ershan in my entire life, how pitiful would he be?” Lian Yi lowered her head, the tassels on the fan handle wrapped tightly around her fingertips, she said softly, choked with sobs, ”If it's really like this, I want him to take a concubine.”
Xiaowan's heart ached for Lian Yi. She held Lian Yi's hand and slowly untied the tassels that had wrapped around his fingers. She touched his fingers and laughed: ”What a beautiful hand, don't hurt it.”
In comparison to the Xiaowan's fingers which were filled with frostbite and wanted to swell up her joints, Lian Yi's delicate fingers were something that only the young miss could have.
”Sister-in-law …” If it's three to five years, I wouldn't be able to have children, I want Ershan to take in concubines. ” Lian Yi's choked voice became heavier, every word was filled with unwillingness.
Xiaowan had been married for a long time, so she already understood the story of Bi Family. Now that she heard Lian Yi say this, her heart trembled and she gently asked Lian Yi: ”Is this really okay? Ershan is the same as Master, he has always treated us wholeheartedly, and they should be sad if they were to accept concubines. ”
Lian Yi sobbed, ”But, I can't let Ershan be the last one to live. When he's in the capital, he'll be laughed at by his comrades.
Xiaowan pursed her lips, felt Lian Yi's hands slightly trembling, and there seemed to be footsteps in front of the door. She could tell that it was Hubby's movements, but he had already left.
Xiaowan thought, if she were to marry Ling Chaofeng and not give birth to a child, what would she do?
”Lian Yi, maybe it's because hubby already has Little Pei. Even if Little Pei isn't his own daughter, in my case, if I had the same kind of experience as you, I might happily raise Little Pei and live a lifetime with him.” Xiaowan said, ”Of course, anything I say now is easy, it's impossible for me to truly put myself in his shoes, but what I can be sure of is that if Hubby knows that I want him as my child's concubine, he'll be angry and scold me.”
Lian Yi looked at her with tears in her eyes. Xiaowan continued to speak, ”I have never seen Little Brother Ershan before, but I know that he must have the same personality as Hubby. Lian Yi, you better give up on this idea. Think about it, did you forget what happened to Ershan's mother? ”
Lian Yi was stunned, was it not?
In the past, when their mother-in-law met the public, her mother-in-law had accompanied her husband through many hardships. However, due to years of infertility, when her husband was rising to greatness, the Mrs. Bi broke into their household and snatched everything away from her.
Coincidentally, the year Mrs. Bi gave birth to her son, she was finally pregnant. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it could be considered as great joy, but unfortunately, there was a tragedy later on.
”Don't tell me you want what happened to you and Ershan to happen again?” Xiaowan said gently, ”Lian Yi, don't think too much. Look at how uncles and aunts don't have children, they are still as happy as ever. I don't study much, and I don't talk big, but I think it's the same for people who live. If I were you, I would be sad for the rest of my life because I can't bear to have children myself. But I will also never give my man to another woman. ”
Lian Yi stared at Xiaowan in a daze and said resolutely, ”You can make anything you want, but not your own man. Lian Yi, let us stop talking here, and never mention it again, alright? I am your sister-in-law. You should listen to your sister-in-law's words, right? ”
”Mm …” Lian Yi was extremely sad. She cried on Xiaowan's shoulder, but after crying, she made up her mind to forget about it.
A few days later, Lian Yi took a boat from the Baisha River Pier to the capital, Ling Chaofeng personally came to send him off. Before Lian Yi boarded the boat, Ling Chaofeng said to her: ”If Ershan dares to bully you, come back and tell me, if he dares to pick a fight outside, you must definitely not let him get away with it. Now that he's proud, he can't help but forget. You have to keep a close eye on him. Lian Yi, the inn is not your wife's home, but your family, and there are only people who would speak up for you here. ”
Lian Yi comforted her and laughed: ”It's a pity that I have to return to the capital in a hurry to express my gratitude. Otherwise, I would really want to wait for my sister-in-law to give birth to her child before leaving.
Ling Chaofeng nodded, and warned Lian Yi to be careful aboard the boat, only returning to the inn after watching the boat go offshore.
However, just as he reached the door, the horses had not even stopped, when he saw the Uncle Biao running frantically out from inside, shouting the moment he saw him, ”Zhaofeng, quickly enter, give the horse to me, I'll go find a doctor, the stomach of the Xiaowan is extremely sore.”
