Chapter 335 - A husband-to-be? (2)
Liu Hanyun was currently frowning as she looked at Ning Yuxuan. It had already been half a month since he had stayed over in someone else's courtyard. Today, she had prepared food and invited him over, but he appeared preoccupied.
Liu Hanyun quietly asked, ”My lord, is something bothering you? This servant hasn't seen you much lately.”
Ning Yuxuan nodded and picked up Xi-er. Pursing his lips, he said, ”I've been busy with work matters related to the imperial court.”
But, he clearly spent a lot of time at home and was frequently going over to see Haohao, so why didn't he have time to see Xi-er? Liu Hanyun lowered her eyes and said, ”Xi-er is already old enough to read short poems, but my lord never comes over to listen to him.”
Holding the child, he raised his eyebrow and asked, ”En? Which poems? Xi-er, read one for me?”
Xi-er shyly snuck a look at him before turning his head away and staying silent.
Somewhat anxious, Liu Hanyun lightly tugged Xi-er's little hand and said, ”Come on, recite it.”
Pouting, Xi-er continued to keep his mouth closed and even started to squirm. Ning Yuxuan could only put him down. Right after he released him, he saw Ji Man coming over with Haohao in her arms.
Haohao had just learned a new poem this morning. When he saw his father, he wanted to go over there to share it with him and started to wiggle around in Ji Man's arms. As soon Ji Man put him down, she saw the little marshmallow-like creature jump into Marqus Moyu's arms. Haohao's little face was tilted up and adoringly looking at Ning Yuxuan. Ji Man though; if Haohao had a tail, it would probably be whipping back and forth as fast as a winds.h.i.+eld wiper.
Haohao didn't even say a greeting before reciting the new poem that he had learned,
”Goose, goose, goose,
Curving its neck to sing a song.
It's white feather floats on the crystal-clear water,
While its red-webbed feet pushes the clear water and ripples form.”
After reciting the poem, he looked at Ning Yuxuan with an eager expression that seemed to say, ”Shower me with praises please.”
Marquis Moyu chuckled. He picked him and said, ”Ah, you learned a new poem again.”
Liu Hanyun's expression was slightly unpleasant. Xi-er had timidly hugged her leg to help himself stand up.
Ji Man walked into the room and saluted her first. ”Madam.”
Liu Hanyun nodded and looked at her as she asked, ”Why do you bring the heir over at this time of the day?”
Ji Man looked at the sky. It was about time to eat dinner. Ji Man awkwardly smiled and said, ”This one has matters to discuss with the marquis, therefore this one presumptuously came over.”
”Why do you need to bring the heir over to discuss business?” Liu Hanyun's tone was slightly unpleasant. She pressed her lips together and rubbed her temples before saying, ”It'll be bad if he b.u.mps into something and knocks it over.”
Ji Man raised her head to take a look at Liu Hanyun. Right now, Liu Hanyun was the main wife. Although she didn't have a strong family background, she had sufficient grandeur from att.i.tude and being dressed up in her current attire. Compared to her previously un.o.btrusive presence, Liu Hanyun had already transformed into someone that was composed and sensible.
”This is one is at fault for being careless.” Ji Man saluted by placing one hand over her fist.
Ning Yuxuan raised his eyes to look at her. He stood up while holding Haohao and said, ”Let's go back to discuss.”
”Understood.” Ji Man nodded.
Liu Hanyun's reaction to Haohao was much more extreme that she had imagined. Ji Man had originally thought Liu Hanyun would remain as the gentle and noncompet.i.tive person that she used to be close to. But, there were too many things in Liu Hanyun's eyes when she saw the two of them today. She was clearly unhappy. It couldn't be that all women would completely change after having children, right?
