Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 197 Going into the city to find a wife

When Lu Huaijin heard this, he found it hard to believe. She was pregnant with a son just one day after getting married and just on her wedding night. That means her son would be about five or six years old now. It was too sudden and he was at a loss.

I had been away from home for so many years, but I didn't expect that she was the one who supported this family.

He had no impression of Yao Qingnian.

At that time, he heard that the government was coming to recruit soldiers, and they were worried that something might happen to him, so his parents hurriedly found him a wife. He only remembered that Yao Qingnian did not seem to agree with this marriage, and was forced to marry by her mother. She even made a big fuss about it. He originally thought that if she really didn't want to, he wouldn't force her. After a long time, if the two of them were no longer husband and wife and felt that it was not suitable, they could just get a divorce.

But who would have thought that on their wedding night, the mother-in-law coaxed them both into drinking a glass of drugged wine, and this thing got done without them knowing it.

The next day, before he had the chance to have a good talk with her, he went to the battlefield. During these few years of separation, she not only built a house for the family, but also gave birth to a son for him. It was like a dream.

After dinner, Lu Huaijin sat in the yard, trying hard to recall Yao Qingnian's appearance, but the more he thought about it, the more vague it became...

"Son, you sleep in Yinuo's room first. Your wife hasn't come back yet. Give her some time to adapt." Liu Shuyue made clear arrangements for him. Although she really wanted her son and daughter-in-law to give Yinuo a brother or sister, if the young couple wanted to live a long life, they had to take it slow and not be impatient.

"Mom, what does Yao Qingnian look like? Tell me about it."

"You don't even remember what your wife looks like? But it's not your fault.

She is very beautiful, with big eyes and fair skin. She doesn’t look like the girls in our village at all. Yinuo inherited her genes. But except for the eyes, Yinuo looks exactly like you when you were a child. You can tell at a glance that he is your son.”

Lying on the bed, he finally felt the feeling of being home. The quilt was filled with the smell of sunshine, which made him feel at ease, but he always felt empty around him, as if someone was missing.

Unconsciously, the woman he met in the inn emerged in his mind, but how could a woman like that be his country wife?

He made up his mind that no matter what his wife was like, he would treat her well.

The next day, Lu Huaijin decided to go to the provincial capital to find Yao Qingnian. He was worried about a woman who was away from home. It would have been fine if he was not there before, but now that he was back, he had the obligation to protect her.

So he packed up his things, said goodbye to his parents, and rode his horse to the provincial capital.

After passing the inn, Yao Qingnian and Tang Huiyun became more alert and did not stay on the road for too long. They hurried into the city.

When we arrived at the gate of the city, we saw "Xijin City" on it. All carriages entering the city had to be inspected, and each person had to pay a one-cent entrance fee.

When it was Yao Qingnian's turn, the officer was about to come forward to check, but the servant took out the token of the Tang Mansion. The officer immediately bowed and said, "I didn't know it was the young lady who came back. Please come in, young lady."

The ancient class system was clearly divided, and the rules were set for common people. People with status and position had an entry ticket that was exempt from inspection.

After Tang Huiyun's carriage entered the city, the official immediately called the people around him: "Go and inform the lady that the eldest lady has entered the city and returned home."

The servant immediately took the order and left.

The carriage was moving on the street. Yao Qingnian lifted the curtain and looked out. There were shops on both sides of the street, including various business workshops, teahouses, and wine shops with signboards fluttering. Various small vendors were hawking their wares on the street, and there were also jugglers, those balancing bowls on their heads, and those breathing fire. There was an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages, and it was very lively.

After passing through several busy streets, the carriage slowly stopped. After the servant parked the carriage steadily, he said softly outside: "Miss, we're here."

Yao Qingnian jumped off the carriage. Tang Huiyun's personal maid placed a step stool in front of the carriage and led her down slowly. After tidying up her clothes, she looked up at the gate of the Tang Mansion, wondering what she was thinking.

The door of the Tang Mansion was closed and no one came out to greet them. Tang Huiyun signaled the servant to go forward and knock on the door. The servant raised his hand and knocked, and the door was quickly opened.

The concierge stuck his head out: "You are......"

Before the doorman finished speaking, he saw a carriage stop behind Tang Huiyun and the others, and a young lady got out, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking bright and gorgeous, showing the demeanor of a noble lady.

"Second Miss, you're back." The doorman immediately opened the door and greeted her happily.

This was Tang Huiyun's sister, Tang Huiyao. Seeing the people standing at the door, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, sister, why is it you? Why didn't you send me a message when you came back so that I could pick you up?"

"Well, I'm back to take care of some things. I won't bother you, sister." Tang Huiyun said indifferently.

Tang Huiyao raised a hypocritical look and said in a teasing tone: "Sister, are you having a hard time in Anding County and came back to ask for help? If so, you must ask me. I don't have much money and can't help you. This bracelet was given to me by Brother Liu Mo. Take it and exchange it for some silver."

The doorman following behind her showed a look of contempt, without any hesitation towards Tang Huiyun who was standing beside her.

Yao Qingnian rolled her eyes. How could this girl want to help her sister? Not only did she expose her sister's shortcomings in public, but she also acted like they were full of sisterly love. It was obvious that she wanted to blatantly show off the bracelet on her hand, right?

"Okay, thank you, sister~" Tang Huiyun did not follow the routine and directly stretched out her hand and asked her to take off the bracelet.

Tang Huiyao's face turned blue and red, she could never have imagined that Tang Huiyun would really nod in agreement. She just wanted to show off and tell her that she and Brother Liu were a perfect match made in heaven, and that an ugly girl like her was not worthy of them at all.

In the past, Tang Huiyun would always think of her when she had anything good, and would give her whatever she wanted. This sudden change caught her off guard. In the past, Tang Huiyun would definitely not ask her for things. It seems that life in that remote and poor place is really hard.

Just as Tang Huiyao was feeling embarrassed and didn't know what to do in front of so many people, a woman in a gorgeous brocade dress walked out.

The woman's hair was combed meticulously, piled up high, with a golden hairpin inserted in it, which swayed gently as she walked. Her long and thin eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her eyes were sharp and cunning.

After seeing Tang Huiyun, he restrained his expression and showed a hypocritical gentleness and smile: "Yao'er, don't be ridiculous. That was given to you by Young Master Liu. How can you give it to your sister casually? If it gets out and people talk about your sister behind her back, how can you let her live her life?"

This beautiful woman was Tang Huiyun's stepmother, Cao. With just a few words, Cao gave Tang Huiyao a way out...
