Chapter 1604: Before the Storm

held complex emotions because Xiaotuanzi fainted too quickly, catching them off guard.At this moment, An Xue Tang frowned. After Mo Yun Jing held Xiao Tuan Zi securely, she immediately felt his pulse....Upon hearing this, Madam Hou's heart sank immediately. Her head started to swim, and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy river, completely drained of strength.

At this moment, she finally realized that in today's capital city, the emperor might not be the one calling the shots.

Even if Ye Er could plead with the emperor now, getting his two sons promoted, it wouldn't necessarily guarantee them a smooth path forward if the Beijang Royal Manor looked down on them.

Others might not know, but after these days of contact between the Anle Hou Mansion and the Bei Jiang Wangfu, she knew better than anyone that in the future, most of the influential people in this capital city would appear in the Bei Jiang Wangfu. Though she couldn't guess who they would be.

Therefore, right now, regardless of who you offend, you mustn't offend the people of the Beijang王府, and certainly not someone like the Beijang Wangfei who is so clear about love and hate.

After the Duke of Anle finished speaking, the entire room was silent for about a quarter of an hour. The three of them, father and son, didn't interrupt her thoughts, just watched her face change back and forth.

Half an hour later, not knowing what Madam Hou had figured out, she suddenly stood up. She didn't care about the three men in the room, her sons and father-in-law, and rushed out while shouting the names of her two daughters-in-law.

She wanted her two daughters-in-law to hurry up and prepare for Xiaoqin's wedding. Her attitude had changed drastically, and she kept saying things like "Time is running out" .

Indeed, the beginning of next month's eighth day is rather rushed.

To be fully prepared, you need to start getting busy right now.

Looking at the bustling wife (mother), the three members of the family in the room looked at each other, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she finally understands, she will no longer think of making things difficult for Ye Er and Xiao Qin, and this marriage will surely be a grand and smooth affair.

......

Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion

Not long after Ye Er left the Duke Anle's residence, An Xuetang soon received good news sent by Madam Hou's personal maid.

Originally, Lady Anlehou decided to prepare for the marriage of Ye Er and Xiao Qin properly. She immediately sent someone to inform Princess Beijang of this good news, letting her know that she would host a grand wedding for Xiao Qin and wouldn't treat her own daughter unfairly.

Housewife Hou sent her maid to deliver a message to An Xue Tang, expressing her sincere gratitude. After all, it was thanks to An Xue Tang's help that Ye Er's tragic fate was changed, and her body was healed. This led to Ye Er and Xiao Qin's happy marriage.

Actually, Mrs. Hou insisted on having her personal maid go to the Prince's Mansion in Beijang to deliver this good news, more out of a desire to test whether An Xuetang truly considered Xiao Qin as a friend.

If she truly treated Xiaoqin as a friend, she would have definitely prepared some dowry for Xiaoqin upon learning of her marriage.

As long as her maid can bring back the dowry from the Princess of Beijiang today, it means that the Princess of Beijiang is still willing to consider Xiaoqin's face and maintain relations with our Anle Houfu.

When the time comes and this land changes hands, as long as she properly ingratiates herself with the Princess of Beijang, forcing Madam Xiao Qin to recommend her two brothers before her, then the future of her two sons will be secure.

An Xuetang was unaware of what had happened at the Anle Hou Mansion that day, nor did she know that Anle Hou and his son had used her name to subdue the greedy Countess. This is how things unfolded afterward.

When she saw the people from Anle Hou's residence come to deliver good news, saying that Ye Er and Xiao Qin would hold their wedding ceremony on the eighth day of the next month, she was sincerely happy for the two of them.

Although she doesn't know how far Ye Er's feelings for Xiaoqin have progressed, as someone who has been there before, she can see that Ye Er is not the kind of person to mistreat Xiaoqin.

And given Xiaoqin's personality, since she has decided to marry Ye Er, she should have completely let go of Jiang Qingyang in her heart and will live a good life with Ye Er.

After so many years of grievances and entanglements, the two finally tasted the sweetness after the bitterness and were able to see a bright future.

Upon hearing the good news, a genuine smile blossomed on her face. She immediately instructed Ning'er to prepare some valuable jewelry for Xiaoqin as part of her dowry.

After Ning'er was ready, she sent someone with gifts to follow along with the servant girl of Lady Hou and went to Anle Houfu to express the blessings of their princess.

......

After everyone else left, An Xue Tang looked thoughtfully at the two sleeping children in the crib, her expression gradually dimming.

It has been over twenty days since she gave birth to twins, but there has still been no word from Mo Yunjing.

These days, on the surface, she still believed he was fine. However, what no one knew was that she worried every single day. The longer time dragged on, the more anxious she became.

She hadn't slept well for days, because she knew better than anyone that Mo Yunjing's temperament would never allow him to go this long without writing.

Yet, the letters that Yun Si had sent out should have already reached Youlan City by now. Why haven't we received a reply from them

Knowing that she had given birth to two sons, based on what she knew of Mo Yun Jing, as long as the sky didn't fall, he would find a way to come back in person.

Yet so many days have passed, and not only has Mo Yunjing failed to return, but he hasn't even sent a letter.

Recalling her previous nightmare, she felt even more certain that something major must have happened to Mo Yunjing, completely tying him down.

What on earth could have happened to make him not even send a letter

She wished she could go to Youlan City herself right now to find out what Mo Yunjing and the others were up to.

But she was more worried about the two children she had just given birth to. This place wasn't as technologically advanced as modern times; there was no formula milk to replace breast milk here. Once they were weaned, they could only rely on rice gruel and the like. But rice gruel wasn't very nutritious, so how could she bear it

Although she could ask Ning'er and the others to find a wet nurse to feed the two children, whenever she thought about her own children drinking someone else's milk, for some reason, she couldn't accept it in her heart.

Such a situation immediately put her in a difficult position.

And now that she's still in confinement, even if she were determined to leave the capital, even if she truly had the heart to abandon her two children and personally journey to Youlan City to find Mo Yunjing.

Ning'er and the others wouldn't agree to it, they wouldn't let her risk her life and go to Youlan City recklessly.

For several days, she racked her brains but couldn't think of a way to achieve a win-win solution.

All she could do was wait for news from Mo Yunjing to return. No matter what kind of news it was, good or bad, as long as it let her know what was going on, even if the letter told her that Mo Yunjing had been seriously injured and couldn't come back, she could accept it.

But now there is no news at all. The unknown fear makes her restless and agitated, only leading to overthinking.

Even she had a premonition that these days of calm were nothing but the quiet before the storm, and that something big was bound to happen next.ster doesn't allow us to touch her, she can only continue staying here. Rest assured, I will be with the Valley Master at all times and won't give her a chance to cause trouble."Read for free - no ads...
