Chapter 467 Xiao Fenger wants to be bullied
Time never defeats beauty. This saying is perfectly reflected in this old lady. No wonder Shang Mao still thinks about her at this age...
He patted Shang Mao's arm gently, and in an instant, it was as if he put the brakes on the old man's words. The old father-in-law stopped talking immediately, and the ruffian look on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a silly smile.
"This... I am not mad at these bastards... these guys, let's just not tell them!" There is always someone better, the old father-in-law's words became tender and affectionate.
"You two can go and take care of it yourselves!" He turned around and said, then looked at Kong Wan with a silly smile and said, "The peonies in our back garden are in full bloom. I've already spotted the most beautiful one, so I'm going to pick it for you. It must be the best."
Looking at this old man who looked like a child, Kong Wan smiled and stood up, helping Shang Mao straighten his clothes. "You are still so childish. I am already this old, why am I still wearing those flowers?"
"What are you talking about? What age are you? Go out and ask around. If anyone in Shenjing dares to call you old, I'll knock all his teeth out!" He then grinned, "In my opinion, Wan'er, you're still the same as you were back then. You haven't changed a bit."
Kong Wan smiled and gently took Shang Mao's arm. Shang Mao straightened his body in an instant and took a step forward with his left and right legs stiffly!
"My eldest brother wrote to me yesterday, saying that he would be arriving in the capital soon."
Shang Mao's body froze, and then he said stubbornly, "Isn't it just that old bastard Kong Hongtai? How could I be afraid of him? Does he want to take you back to Shandong? What wishful thinking! If we talk about fighting, I'll give him a pair of hands! Don't think that just because he's the Duke of Yansheng, everyone respects him. I'm not afraid of him!"
Looking at this stubborn old man who was like a child, Kong Wan suddenly smiled. Some things are not afraid of waiting, and some things are not afraid of being delayed, just like... this love...
They have missed each other's life, and now, she doesn't want to miss it anymore...
After five or six days of hard work, the mobilization of troops was basically completed, and Jia Cong finally had some free time.
During these days, after learning the rules, all the sisters would go directly to the East Mansion. Even Daiyu and Baochai did not return home.
Lin Ruhai and Aunt Xue obviously knew the reason, so they just let it go!
Every day after Jia Cong finished his work, he would chat with the women, eat and drink, and then they would go to rest. Tanchun was the only one who, although she would accompany the women every day, would spend most of her time hiding in Yingchun or Xichun's courtyard. When she saw Jia Cong, she would often act strange or become lost in thought...
At least, that's what the sisters thought. They asked her about it, but Tanchun refused to tell them. They couldn't guess why, and they just thought she was worried because of Jia Cong's expedition.
He had dinner with the girls that day. After Daiyu and the others had gone to rest, Jia Cong quietly came to the West Mansion.
Entering Wang Xifeng's courtyard, the maid Xiaohong hurriedly bowed, "This servant greets the Third Master!"
"Well, is your grandma in the room?"
"Grandma just came back from the old lady's place. She has just finished her meal and is resting in the house!" As she spoke, she helped Jia Cong open the curtain.
Lin Xiaohong has been following Wang Xifeng for quite some time, so she has gained her trust. Moreover, their whole family works under Wang Xifeng, and their honor and even life and death are under her control. Therefore, Wang Xifeng is not afraid that she will ruin things. It is for this reason that Lin Xiaohong knows very well the relationship between Jia Cong and her grandmother.
Naturally, she had no intention of spreading the news. In fact, she also believed that it was not a bad thing for her grandmother to follow the Third Master.
Although my grandmother is still the housekeeper of the West Mansion, her power is even greater than before because the Second Wife is imprisoned. But this is only temporary. My grandmother has already divorced Second Master Lian. If it were to be brought to light awkward. It would be fine if no one spoke of it, as at least the Old Lady still favors her. But if someone did speak of it, would Second Wife still be able to continue to manage the household?
Moreover, even if no one pointed this out, seeing that Master Bao would be getting married in one or two years, and there would be a young mistress in the mansion by then, what would happen to my grandmother?
But if she has the support of the Third Master, even if she doesn't manage the family anymore, who would dare to say anything? By then, her grandmother will still be the respectable mistress.
As for herself, she didn't have any other thoughts. She knew very well that although she had some abilities, she was far inferior to Heping'er, and it was almost impossible for her to catch the Third Master's eye. However, as long as her grandmother remained respectable and gave her a respectable son in the future, she would be content.
Jia Cong naturally had no idea that this little girl had so many thoughts. He stepped into the room. Ping'er, who was massaging Wang Xifeng's legs, saw Jia Cong coming and immediately bowed happily, "Third Master is here?"
She smoothed Ping'er's hair, then sat directly on the bed and took over Ping'er's job.
"I've told you long ago that if you want to manage the household, I won't bother you. Having something to do is better than being idle. But you have to take care of your own health, right? If there's anything you need to do, just ask Ping'er and Xiaohong to do it. Are there any things worth doing yourself?"
"Look at you, you've been so busy these past two days that your legs are swollen again! If you continue to abuse your body like this, how will you ever bear children for me in the future?"
Feeling Jia Cong's tenderness and care, Wang Xifeng gave him a charming look, then stood up and leaned in Jia Cong's arms.
"Xiao Feng'er, listen to me. From now on, let this little hoof do things. When this little hoof's legs are swollen from exhaustion, I'll see if I feel sorry for her too!"
"You and Ping'er, which master wouldn't care?" Jia Cong tapped Wang Xifeng's eyebrows and said, "Besides, if Ping'er really exhausted herself, wouldn't you feel bad?"
"Master just says nice things to coax me!" Although he said so, Wang Xifeng obviously enjoyed it very much .
"Master, Xiao Feng'er is reluctant to let you go to the war !" Wang Xifeng twisted her body and said in a low voice.
"How could I bear to leave you?" Jia Cong said softly, "Your Majesty told me that when I return victorious, it will be time to crown me king."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng's body couldn't help but soften. Jia Cong had told her before that after he was crowned king, they would no longer hide their relationship from each other and would definitely give her a position at that time.
Even though she had never said it, how could she not care? She also wanted to be with this enemy openly for the rest of her life, although that was a bit greedy.
"Master!" Wang Xifeng's eyes were as charming as silk, and her voice became a little greasy, "Xiao Feng'er wants Master to bully her..."
