ATBLM [QT] Chapter 93.2

Not long after, Nanny Lin from Wang Shi’s place came to the front building and said that Wang Shi had something to tell her and asked her to go to the back building.

Jiang Rui lay on the recliner and swayed slowly. She turned her head to look at her and said lightly: “I can’t even give birth to a child. How can I have the nerve to see my mother? Nanny Lin should go back.”

When Nanny Lin saw this, she had no choice but to retreat. Although she was from Wang Shi’s side, she could also see clearly that the real owner of Huo Mansion must be the Marshal, and his wife was currently the treasure that Marshal held in his hand. She was not willing to see the Old Madam, how dare they as servants say anything?

Not long after Nanny Lin returned, Nanny Li quietly came to tell her that Wang Shi was angry.

If you’re angry, just be angry.

In the past, Jiang Rui was polite to her. First, Wang Shi was also polite to her. Second, Pan Susu’s temperament was like this. Now that Wang Shi was obviously rude to her, Jiang Rui did not bother to pretend to be wronged and compromise. Moreover, this matter was obviously not something that could be solved by compromise. It will only make people push forward.

When Huo Changyao came back in the night, Jiang Rui said directly to him: “I made Old Madam angry today.”

Huo Changyao had already heard about what happened today, touched her head, and said, “It has nothing to do with you, don’t take it to heart. Since Mother is angry, you don’t have to greet her later, so as not to make her even more angry.”

He said that he was afraid that Wang Shi would be more angry, but in fact, he was clearly protecting Jiang Rui, fearing that she would be reprimanded by Wang Shi when she came.

Jiang Rui smiled, pushed his hand away, and said annoyedly: “Big Brother, don’t keep touching my head, you will mess up my hair.”

Huo Changyao slightly hooked the corner of his mouth: “Are there any injuries today?”

Jiang Rui dragged her tone of voice: “It’s not hurt, but Big Brother’s future brother-in-law is a bit too fierce. I don’t know how my future sister-in-law will be.”

Huo Changyao’s expression was straightened, and he said solemnly: “What kind of sister-in-law and brother-in-law, do you believe that?”

“It’s not what I said,” Jiang Rui puffed her lips, “The kid yelled so loudly today that everyone in the mansion knew about it. Mother is going to let the kid’s sister be your concubine.”

Before Huo Changyao could speak, she looked at him sideways again and said teasingly, “I just counted on my fingers. According to seniority, the child’s sister has to call Big Brother a cousin. But she was born from a concubine, so there is no blood connection, so it shouldn’t matter.”

Huo Changyao frowned when he heard this. Seeing her seemingly indifferent expression, he felt heartbroken again, “Big Brother knows that I have wronged you. I will make this matter clear to Mother.”

Huo Changyao could not understand, let alone agree with Wang Shi’s actions. In the beginning, it was almost because of her seeking retribution for her kindness that she forced Xiao Qi to marry him. Two people who were originally brothers and sisters became husband and wife. How could she ask him to marry a concubine now? And she even let people ruin Xiao Qi’s reputation like that.

It can be said that Xiao Qi’s happiness in this life has been ruined by Huo Changyao. No matter what, he should respect her and love her in this life. What’s more, he now has pity and love for her and has already developed feelings beyond brother and sister. His feelings cannot tolerate others in his eyes.

He could not let Xiao Qi down, but he could not blame Wang Shi either. Because she was his mother, and everything she did was in the name of being good for him.

Jiang Rui looked up at him, and she could feel his distress and annoyance.

When faced with such a dilemma, has he ever thought of forcing her to become a real couple and asking her to give birth to a child for him? Or, has he ever been moved by Wang Shi’s proposal?

Even now, he is still willing to treat her well as an elder brother, won’t he feel bored?

“But, Big Brother, you always need a child.” She said suddenly.

Huo Changyao raised his eyebrows and pinched her cheek, “You are young, but your ideas are old-fashioned. Who said that if you want a child, it must be biological? Are you and Old Sixth any different from me and Old Second? If you want a child, in the future just adopt a few. If it doesn’t work, Old Second will always have children. If one of them is adopted into our name, the elders in the clan will have nothing to say. Your little head doesn’t have to think about this kind of thing.”

Jiang Rui observed his expression as if she were examining something. After a while, she lowered her eyes and said softly: “Don’t lie to me.”

Huo Changyao’s answer was to squeeze her face again. After squeezing, he felt that the squeeze was too heavy, and he gently stroked her with the back of his hand.

“If you dare to question Big Brother, you should be punished.”

Huo Changyao really went to talk to Wang Shi about this matter.

Wang Shi was still angry because Jiang Rui had bullied the little guest who came to her house, and she also did not come to see her to apologize. When she saw him, his face was not a face and his nose was not a nose.

“What are you doing here? You are so arrogant now that I can’t control you one by one. Why are you here to see me, an old woman?”

“Mother, Xiao Qi did nothing wrong about what happened in the afternoon.” Huo Changyao said.

Just as Wang Shi was about to refute the reprimand, Huo Changyao said, “That child yelled, saying that Xiao Qi could not have children. Mother, whose mouth did such words come from?”

Wang Shi shut her mouth for a moment, with an unnatural expression on her face. But, she quickly straightened her back and said angrily: “Are you questioning me? It’s not me who said it, it was you who said it yourself. If the two of you can’t have children, then it means she can’t give birth or something!”

“It turns out that if you don’t have a child, you can’t give birth,” Huo Changyao nodded calmly, “Tomorrow, I’ll have someone break the news. It’s not that Xiao Qi can’t give birth, but it’s me that can’t have one.”
