Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C230

That dream had caused Xiaowan to be in a very good mood. She had long since heard Aunt Zhang and the rest talking about it, and asked them if she had had a dream. Xiaowan did not know what a dream was, but the elders had said that if a dream came true, she would naturally understand it.

Then, the Xiaowan determined that this dream was a gift from the heavens.

In the following days, the family found that Xiaowan had become more cheerful again. Furthermore, after she became pregnant, her body became more well-developed and her face became round.

Naturally, because the doctor said that the Xiaowan was carrying a twin, everyone was very careful. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the date of Xiaowan’s delivery was approaching.

That day, Uncle Biao came over from the Li Prefecture and just as she was about to reach home, he received a letter from Ershan in the capital. He did not know if it was due to the glory of his elder brother that Bi Zhenye rose to the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, but the emperor had also added another title to Lian Yi’s life, telling him to return to the capital earlier to express her gratitude.

This was naturally a joyous occasion for the family, but when Lian Yi and Xiaowan first met, the two sister-in-law did not have any relationship, as though they were old friends that had not seen each other for a long time. Just looking at Xiaowan’s big belly made Lian Yi feel extremely uncomfortable. If Mrs. Bi did not commit evil deeds, his children would already be born several months ago.

Aunt Zhang was also emotional, “Time flies.”

During this past year, Lian Yi and Ershan had a sweet and loving relationship, but unfortunately, they had not gotten any good news. If it had not been in the beginning, she would not have let her imagination run wild. Now she had to worry about whether she would never have another child.

If she was not able to open her heart to them, then there was no one that could be trusted by Lian Yi. This time, when she returned to his mother’s home, his mother did not care about her at all, and directly said that her brother’s children wanted to go to a good private school. Unfortunately, the threshold of the private school was extremely high, so she pretended to be sick to find her daughter and ask her to think of a way.

Lian Yi was benevolent, only after coming to the tavern, did she have the feeling of returning home. After staying here for a few days, she would immediately return to the capital, and would no longer be going to her home.

Currently, Xiaowan, Susu and the Aunt Zhang were sitting together with Lian Yi at the back door enjoying the cool. Everyone was holding a piece of cantaloupe, and only the cantaloupe of Xiaowan was cut into pieces and eaten with bamboo sticks.

Lian Yi laughed and said: “When Aunt was taking care of me in the capital, she was also like that. She even peeled off the skin of an orange for me and tore it open one petal after another.”

Aunt Zhang patted Lian Yi’s hands: “In the future, when you are a baby, I will take care of you.”

Lian Yi shook her head. “This year, there hasn’t been any activity at all, I’m afraid there’s no hope.”

After saying those words, Lian Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled to the group: “Don’t mind me, I will only say those words here.”

Xiaowan had her own way of doing things, so she could not see anyone bad. Her big belly could even be used as a table or a plate. Originally it was just to make it easier for her, but recently she had always been putting the small bowl and plate on her stomach. Now she quietly took it off, afraid that she would attract too much attention in front of Lian Yi.

Lian Yi laughed instead, and then used her hands to place Xiaowan’s plate on her stomach. Xiaowan was so embarrassed that her face turned red, and she scolded: “You really know how to be lazy.”

The Aunt Zhang asked Ershan if he was anxious, Lian Yi shook her head: “He doesn’t seem to care.”

Susu then asked: “What about that old lady, are you looking forward to getting a great-grandson?”

Lian Yi also shook her head: “Grandmother is always happy all the time and has never mentioned the matter of her child. Compared to my child, right now, what she is more concerned about is her eldest grandson’s marriage.”

She then brought up the topic from herself to Bi Zhenye, and talked about his every day at the inn and the Princess. Susu still remained silent and sighed: “It’s been so long, and they still haven’t moved.

After chatting for half a day, Xiaowan was just about to return to her room to rest, when a guest just happened to arrive at the store. Susu and Aunt Zhang were there to help him up the stairs.

In a room on the other side of the third floor, Little Pei was writing his calligraphy obediently. They took a glance at the door and quietly left.

“Little Pei has grown up a lot.” Lian Yi said.

“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.”
