Chapter 54: Words from the Heart (1)
Chunyu Yi has never been a city lord, nor has she participated in managing household affairs after marrying Xiao Xuan.
But when Nie and Xiao Shan were handling affairs in the mansion, she would occasionally watch from the side, so she had a lot of feelings.
In a mansion with more than a hundred people, daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are a lot of things.
It is impossible for people to live in harmony forever. There are all kinds of fights not only between masters, but also between stewards, servants, and maids and mothers.
In her opinion, instead of wasting energy on these chores, it would be better to go to the Ordnance Department to modify weapons.
Compared to a mansion with more than a hundred people, Ruoshui City has more troubles.
Hanzhi's ideal is to be the commander-in-chief of an army, and these trivial chores are imposed on her. It cannot be said that she is looking for something to do to pass the time.
Xiao Xuan took the letter out of Chunyu Yi's hand, took off his shoes and lay next to her.
"Hey - I want to see more!" Chunyu Yi said dissatisfied.
"What are you looking at? Sleep!" Xiao Xuan lifted the quilt and covered her.
"You're such a domineering brat, you just know how to bully me!"
"I'm not bullying you at all. I'm obviously caring about you. I'm going to be a mother-in-law, but I still worry about others all day long!"
"Okay, if you dare to mistake Hanzhi for someone else, I will sue you the next time I see her!"
"Young man, are you going to turn the world upside down?" Xiao Xuan took a bite on her little mouth.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you..." Chunyu Yi pushed him away and turned over.
"Hey, are you really angry?" Xiao Xuan came up behind her and gently scratched her waist.
Chunyu Yi smiled and said: "Whoever is angry is the one who is petty!"
"Okay, since my husband is a narrow-minded person, let me ask the thoughtful lady to tell you about my father-in-law's condition."
Chunyu Yi's body stiffened slightly: "You know everything?"
Xiao Xuan turned her body over, stared into her eyes and said: "I'm not a god, how can I know everything? To tell you the truth, you are not a liar. Every time you look at someone with deceiving eyes,
It's floating."
"Then where did my eyes go when I was dressing up as a man?"
"I..." Xiao Bi said helplessly: "Now that we are a family, no matter what happens, you should no longer hide it from me.
If the sky falls, I may not be able to withstand it alone, but if we work together, the situation will always be better, right?"
"Xingzhi..." Chunyu Yi hugged him and choked: "Why are you so nice to me?"
"The fool is saying stupid things again. I only have a wife like you in this life. If I don't treat you well, how can I treat others better?"
"Okay, my father took the secret medicine again today. Although it can restore some energy to him, he will suffer even more pain..."
Xiao Xuan's breathing stagnated, and he gently placed his palm on his wife's shoulder.
As a border guard general, he has seen too many injuries, life and death.
It is said that it is better to live than to die, but when the injury is really serious, what everyone wants is for someone to give him a quick knife to completely end the unbearable pain.
My father-in-law is also made of flesh and blood. How could he want to endure more torture when he knew that his life could not be saved?
It's just that I still can't let go of my daughter, I can't let go of these juniors, and I can't let go of the hundreds of thousands of people in Ruoshui City.
"Now that my father has made up his mind, we can only choose to support him.
When the heavy snow stopped, I immediately returned to the camp to arrange the military affairs. After all, my grandfather was old and it was not easy for him to do everything.
After the beginning of spring, if your physical condition allows, we will set off back to Ruoshui City.
If your body is not adapted to the long journey by then, I will escort father back first, and you can follow after the situation improves."
"Okay." Chunyu Yi hugged his waist tightly and nodded vigorously.

After some careful recuperation, Lord Chunyu was finally able to get out of bed.
Unfortunately, the weather was still cold, and Chunyu Yi rejected his idea of going out for a walk.
In desperation, he could only lie on the kang, play chess, and chat with his daughter.
"Dad, I already know that you took the secret medicine." Chunyu Yi held it in for several days and finally told her father.
Lord Chunyu put down the chess book in his hand and looked at his daughter lovingly.
"Isn't daddy angry?" Chunyu Yi brought the steaming soup in front of him.
Lord Chunyu smiled and said: "Yi'er has a simple temper, and Xiao Wu is so shrewd, so I can't hide it from him.
My father's intention is not to hide it from him, but I just don't want him to worry."
"He also called me a fool!" Chunyu Yi couldn't help but complain again, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Lord Chunyu was a person who had been here before, so he couldn't see how good the relationship between the young couple was.
He picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, sighing: "As a father, I have missed many people and done many things in my life.
But the most important people all saw it accurately, and as a result, my precious daughter found a good home and Weoshui City was placed in reliable hands.
In this way, this life is not in vain..."
"Dad, Xing Zhi is indeed the best husband. He also told me that he would only marry me in this life."
City Lord Chunyu's heart was full of sadness, and he suddenly wanted to talk to his daughter about the words that had been pressing in his heart for many years.
"Yier, my father also said these words to your mother back then. We promised to live in the same quilt and die in the same hole, and we will never be separated in all our lives.
But my father broke his promise. In the tenth year after her death, I not only married your aunt, but also soon had your brother.
Although you have never blamed your father in these years and have always been kind to your aunt and brother, there must be a knot in your heart that cannot be solved, right? "
Chunyu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "What I said is absolutely correct, I am a person who doesn't even hide my emotions.
Ever since I can remember, everyone around me has said that my parents were very loving. You even grew old overnight because of your mother’s death.
Although this idea is a bit cruel, I did hope that you would have only one mother for the rest of your life.
But after all, you are the only heir of the Chunyu family, and I am a girl who doesn't know how long I can live, so it is reasonable to continue my marriage.
So I have no reason to reject my aunt and brother, but I should try my best to take good care of them."
City Lord Chunyu shook his head: "Yier is a generous and sensible girl, but this matter is completely different from what you imagined.
But no matter what, being a father means breaking the promise to your mother, betraying your aunt's love, and even complicating your brother's lack of father's company these years."
Chunyu Yi asked: "It's not what I imagined. What is it like?"
City Lord Chunyu said: "After your mother left, my father looked up countless ancient prescriptions in order to save your life.
According to one of the ancient prescriptions, if you want to detoxify you, you need the blood of your brothers and sisters.
