Chapter 607. Satisfied (1/2)

However, no matter how cold and unfeeling Royal Prince Yang was, he didn’t have the heart to scold his little lass with harsh words. He wouldn’t even put on an attitude in front of her. Lady Fang believed that some of Xiaocao’s actions and speech sometimes ‘took advantage’ of Royal Prince Yang, but Royal Prince Yang would merely look at her dotingly. He would dismiss her unruly actions with a laugh and spoil her even more.

Lady Fang was a blessed little woman. Although her husband was nothing more than an uncultured martial artist in other people’s eyes, he treated her very well. They have been married for over 20 years, but the two of them had never gotten into an argument before. Even though her temper became a little more irritable over the years because she had yet to conceive a child, he had always endured her temper.

She thought that she was her fault for being infertile, so she restrained her jealousy and took in a few concubines for him. However, he drove all the concubines out and said, “I don’t want any other woman except you!”

She searched far and wide for doctors and inquired about various medicines that would cure her of her infertility. She just wanted to conceive a child that looked like him. But he comforted her and said, “Don’t worry. Even if we’re destined to have no children, we will still grow old together.”

When he learned that he might be the reason why the two of them couldn’t conceive a child, he did not hide the fact from the world to protect his ego. Instead, he publicized that he was the reason that they were unable to conceive to help relieve the external pressure on her…

He didn’t know how to whisper sweet nothings to her, but he would always hold her hand to accompany her silently and comfort her when she was down. Others believed that she made the wrong choice by marrying him, but she knew from personal experience that it was not true! She was truly happy compared to other women! As for other women, their mothers-in-law would deliberately make things difficult for them, they would be ignored by their husbands, and they had to fight against numerous other concubines every day! What more could she ask for when she had a husband who loved her?

Lady Fang believed that Royal Prince Yang and Imperial Prince Jing were the same kind of people as her husband. They were considerate men that would spoil their wives no matter what. If one met a man like them, why wouldn’t one seize every opportunity to snatch him for oneself?

Her daughter would be sixteen years old once the new year starts, so it was time for her to start considering her daughter’s marriage. As luck would have it, there was a man that treated her wholeheartedly, so there was nothing she had to nitpick about.

Lady Fang looked at Royal Prince Yang like how a mother-in-law would look at her son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.

Fang Haolin was playing with his favorite sister on the kang bed. When he heard the news that Royal Prince Yang was coming, he immediately had a ‘change of affections’ and abandoned his favorite sister. He headed straight for Zhu Junyang who had just walked in and addressed him sweetly, “Brother-in-law! Does Linlin look handsome?”

“You little traitor!” Yu Xiaocao blushed bright red when she heard her younger brother address Zhu Junyang as ‘brother-in-law”. It was not a surprise that Zhu Junyang was loved by her younger brother. Every time he came to visit, he would bring a few toys from the west for the little guy. For example, he had gotten him a horse that could run after pulling its string, a mechanical music box, and an elaborate Russian nested doll. Thanks to these toys, Zhu Junyang successfully gained the little guy’s trust and lured him into addressing him as ‘brother-in-law’. Xiaocao was angered to death by it!

“Err...you look very handsome~” When Zhu Junyang saw how his little lass had messed with his future brother-in-law’s appearance, he hesitated before he gave him a compliment against his will. Fang Haolin’s clown-like appearance was extremely eye-catching. However, when he was faced with the little lad’s enthusiasm and sparkling bright eyes asking to be praised, it was impossible for him to say, ‘it’s ugly’.

“Brother-in-law, do I look as handsome as you?” The little lad looked at him expectantly. He was used to hearing her older sister mention that Zhu Junyang was a beautiful man, so he believed that Zhu Junyang was the beauty standard he needed to live up to. He believed that if he looked like his brother-in-law when he grew up, then he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to find a wife who was willing to marry him!

Zhu Junyang had a helpless expression on his face when he looked at the little lass who was lying on the kang bed and kicking her legs in laughter. He forced himself to squeeze out an ugly smile and nodded his head with difficulty and said, “You look more handsome than me!” He had no choice since the little lad was his future brother-in-law. In order to be able to quickly marry his little lass, he needed to coax the people around her to like him.

Fang Haolin’s face was as red as a monkey’s butt as he sat back on the kang bed happily. He took the jumping frog toy that his brother-in-law had given him and studied it with his full attention. Once he pulled the string on the frog, it would jump very high upwards. It was very interesting!

“Auntie, what are you discussing with Xiaocao?” Zhu Junyang paid his respect to Lady Fang and sat down. He noticed that there was a satisfied expression on her face.

Lady Fang smiled gently while she helped Xiaocao wring the ball of yarn as she knit gloves at flying speed. She said in a soft voice, “I’m discussing with Xiaocao about what we should buy Third Young Master Zhou as a congratulatory gift tomorrow!”

“Third Young Master Zhou? Isn’t he the head of the Zhou Family? Is he getting married?” Zhu Junyang was very petty. He hadn’t forgotten that he had once harbored some feelings for his little lass. Fortunately, he was able to nip the problem at its bud, otherwise...humph!

“That’s right, he’s engaged to the daughter of a merchant family, the Huang Family! I heard that the young lady had been learning business acumen from her father and older brothers in the past few years. As a result, she has developed a keen insight. The Huang Family left her in charge of a few shops and the shops prospered under her hands. She is a very capable young woman!” Lady Fang told the two everything she knew.

Yu Xiaocao nodded her head when she heard Lady Fang’s words and said, “That’s good! In the future, Third Young Master Zhou will have an additional helping hand! If he married a soft, weak, and fragile young woman, then she’ll be more than what he can deal with!”

“It seems like you know that man with the surname Zhou, pretty well. You even know his likes and dislikes.” Zhu Junyang had to admit that he was being petty again. His words were laced with jealousy.

Yu Xiaocao looked up and glanced at him. She sounded very confident as she said, “I’m just saying this from my point of view. If I were him, then I would definitely find someone who could help me instead of a pretty white flower who only knows how to cry all day. Of course, there are some men that like those types of women. It’s uncertain whether he is one of them or not.”

“I don’t know what type of woman he likes, nor do I want to know. But I have to agree with your taste. I like someone who is efficient and capable!” Zhu Junyang quickly expressed his agreement when he saw that his little lass seemed to be a little unhappy.

“I can’t control what type of woman you like. I don’t want to be able to control it either!” Yu Xiaocao lowered her head and continued to knit the gloves. The gloves were blue with white rhombus patterns; she was making it for Fang Haolin.
