Chapter 136
In the Prince of Shu's mansion, Xun'er and Ning Jie'er had both gone to bed. After seeing his father off, Xiao Heng returned to the front hall and sat there, continuing to wait for news.
It was useless for An Shun'er to try to persuade him. Although Xiao Heng was only nine years old, he was already very opinionated. Especially when he frowned, he had a bit of the majesty of a prince.
An Shun'er had no choice but to wait on the side.
As curfew was approaching, the sound of carriage wheels was finally heard on the street.
Xiao Heng immediately left the table and walked out.
Outside the Shu King's Mansion, Wei Ruo jumped off the carriage first and turned to look inside.
Yin Hui accompanied the baby for the entire afternoon and had spent the whole afternoon working hard. She hadn't eaten dinner and was so hungry that her legs were shaking when she bent over and stood up.
Wei Ruo saw it, held the hand she extended to him, put his arm around her waist, and carried her down.
Yin Hui was so frightened that she clung to his shoulders tightly.
There were two lanterns hanging in front of the Shu Palace. The light shone through the pale yellow silk cloth and became dim and soft. When Yin Hui raised her head, she saw Wei Ruo's stern face which seemed to have remained unchanged for a thousand years.
But such a cold man actually carried her out of the car and did such an impolite act in front of the coachman and the guards at the gate.
She was still in a daze, and Wei Ruo continued to hold her and walk inside.
Yin Hui felt embarrassed, and then she heard hurried footsteps. Almost at the moment when Xiao Heng went around the screen wall, Wei Ruo let her go.
Yin Hui's heart was pounding. While she was adjusting her clothes unnoticeably, she looked at her son worriedly, wondering if he had seen anything.
"Father, Mother, you are finally back." Xiao Heng ran over quickly and asked, panting.
Yin Hui nodded and was about to speak when Wei Ruo said, "Didn't I tell you to go to bed first?" There was even a hint of blame in his voice.
As expected, Xiao Heng lowered his head after being scolded.
Yin Hui glared at Wei Ruo, walked over, took her son's hand, and said softly, "Xiao Heng, are you worried about your fourth aunt? Don't worry, she's fine, and she gave birth to a brother and a sister for you."
Xiao Heng showed an expression of joy and admiration. Fourth Aunt was really amazing. She gave birth to two children at once, both a younger brother and a younger sister!
Balang must be very happy because he no longer has to compete with them for his sister.
Yin Hui rubbed her son's head and said, "Go to sleep quickly, or you may not be able to get up tomorrow morning."
Xiao Heng put his mind at ease and bowed to his father and mother with a smile before taking his leave.
Yin Hui and Wei Ruo also went directly to the backyard.
There was always water in the washroom. The couple were both sweaty, so they went to the bathroom to shower first. Tired and hungry, the couple washed themselves and neither of them had any other thoughts.
As soon as they changed their clothes and came out, Yinzhan immediately ordered the kitchen to serve the meal.
Before bathing, Yin Hui specifically told Yinzhan that she wanted to eat beef sauce tonight. As the weather was so hot, she wanted to eat something cool and refreshing.
"I want to eat too." Wei Ruo said so after hearing her words.
So dinner was on the table at this moment. The staple food was two large bowls of cold food sprinkled with some sauce, supplemented with finely chopped cucumber and chicken. There was a sauce plate on the side for the owners to add according to their taste. There were also four dishes and one soup.
Yin Hui's hair was not dry yet, so she tied it loosely on top of her head with a hairband. She was so hungry that she didn't care what Wei Ruo thought. She scooped a large spoonful of sauce and sprinkled it on the dish, picked up the chopsticks to mix it, and started eating.
Wei Ruo was already hungry, and seeing her eating so happily, he lowered his head and started eating as well.
Every summer, she would ask the kitchen to prepare some cold dishes. Wei Ruo never worried about food. He would eat whatever she asked the kitchen to cook. There were so many varieties, but it was rare that he was not satisfied with the food.
After finishing her meal, Yin Hui finally regained her strength. After rinsing her mouth, she sat on the couch in the next room to dry her hair.
Wei Ruo seemed to have told Yinzhan something, but Yin Hui didn't hear clearly, nor did she pay attention. She leaned comfortably against the pillow, and slept soundly.
Not long after, Wei Ruo came in with a small green porcelain bottle in his hand.
Yin Hui looked at him curiously.
Wei Ruo got on the couch and sat beside her. He silently opened the porcelain bottle, then took her hand and applied the ointment that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance to her purple fingers.
He lowered his eyes, his expression cold and focused.
Yin Hui watched his actions with mixed feelings.
In her previous life, Fushan did not give birth to twins at this time, and she did not go to accompany her during the birthing. Naturally, Wei Ruo did not go to pick her up specially and take the initiative to help her apply medicine.
"When I first married you, I never thought you would be so gentle and considerate."
It’s almost done, Yin Hui said jokingly.
Wei Ruo looked at her and said as he covered the porcelain bottle, "You have never been injured before."
Yin Hui vaguely understood: "So, you will only be gentle when I am hurt?"
She had a difficult delivery when giving birth to Xiao Heng. Wei Ruo was obviously much gentler to her in the days after the birth. He was the same when he gave birth to Xun'er in this life.
Wei Ruo did not answer.
Yin Hui remembered that she was angry with Wei Ruo for not taking Xun Ge'er's fatigue into consideration during the spring plowing this year. The next day, Wei Ruo bought three puppies for the children.
Including the few times in her life when she asked him for help, Wei Ruo helped her, even though some of them were because he lost the bet.
In other words, Wei Ruo doesn't care about her needs, but needs her to express them first?
What about in his previous life? He wanted to take Wen Ruyue as his concubine, and she was almost mad. Before going to bed, Wei Ruo said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Was he just saying it casually because he was unhappy, or was there really room for negotiation?
It was obvious that she had already determined that he liked Wen Ruyue and had the most special affection for her, but at this moment, that conclusion was shaken again.
