Chapter 273 (2/2)

Duan Tingxuan quickly said in fear: ”my son-in-law doesn't dare. He's just worthless for his father-in-law. You were the Duke of Ping at the beginning...”

Before he finished, the old man laughed at himself, shook his head and said: ”What else do you do? It's all a thing of the past. In fact, it's good to be a common people now. Don't look down on the watchman. Although the money is far worse than the national salary, it's free and easy to worry about. Not to mention the past. You have to get up and clean up before you get to the morning. It's also a very pleasant day.”

As he spoke, the old man and his son entered the house. Seeing Duan Tingxuan also coming in, he wondered, ”do you want to drink with me? It's impossible. Don't you go home soon? You can't compare with me now. You have a heavy burden. You've been busy all day. If you don't go back and have a good rest, you still have the leisure to run here?”

Duan Tingxuan quickly smiled and said, ”it's OK to go home. It doesn't matter if my father-in-law doesn't drink. My son-in-law has the right to have a meal. Besides, I have to see the warmth. She is pregnant now... Well... I'm not worried about my father-in-law and mother-in-law... I just don't see the warmth. I really can't let go.”

When the words fell, I heard my brother-in-law say with a smile: ”Dad, what Tingxuan said is right. Warmth is capricious. How can a married woman go back to her mother's house for so many days? It's not far away. That's why Tingxuan dotes on her. Otherwise, try someone else's house?”

Duan Tingxuan looked at his brother-in-law gratefully and thought that he had to accept his contempt for the dandy in the past. He went to Niutou mountain. His brother-in-law understood a lot of human and worldly skills. Now he felt amiable when he looked at that face, which was no longer detestable.

Duke Ping snorted and said nothing more, so the little Marquis finally entered the back hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su wennuan peeling boiled peanuts with Mrs. Liu. When he saw him coming, Mrs. Liu was also surprised. She quickly stood up and said, ”why is the virtuous son-in-law coming? Don't you go home?”

Duan Tingxuan said with a cheeky smile, ”yes, there's no big deal about it, so I'll stay at the Yue's house tonight.” then he put his things on the table and said with a smile: ”Dongxiang's stew is what my father-in-law likes. Please take it to the kitchen to make it hot. This wine is excellent.”

Then he looked at Su wennuan again. He felt that he had been in love for a long time. However, in front of so many people, he didn't dare to be presumptuous after all. He could only gather all the love in his eyes. For a time, the husband and wife looked at each other affectionately, and his eyes were almost glued. All he saw was that everyone couldn't help but lower their heads, cover their lips and laugh.

It was not until the old antique Duke Ping coughed that he finally woke them up. For a moment, Su wennuan's face was as red as a burning cloud. Even a guy with a thick face and a black heart like Xiao Hou was embarrassed and couldn't even say anything about the scene.

A dinner that no one served nearby was also enjoyable. Duke Ping probably had a long hard time and forgot the family rules of eating and sleeping. He also said a few political affairs with Duan Tingxuan at the dinner table. The two sons were happy to talk and laugh about some market gossip. With these idle words, the little Marquis ate ate an extra bowl of rice.

After dinner, the family sat together and drank tea, and Duke Ping still went out. His watchman is different from others. He goes half an afternoon and asks you to come back for dinner in the evening. After dinner, he still has to go there before dark. He looks at the door all night and goes home to rest the next morning. Although he worked for an hour more than other janitors, the salary was more generous than those people, so the Duke was quite satisfied. Of course, these are only on the surface. Only my husband knows how to sigh bitterness in his heart.

Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone went back to their room to have a rest. Duan Tingxuan helped Su wennuan back to the room. Looking at the narrow room, he sighed: ”strange way, you sent Honglian Xiangyun back to the house. The room is too small. If they were there, where could they sleep?” (to be continued.)

PS: ouch! Happy Lantern Festival! Are the dumplings ready for the evening?
