Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 628: Chapter 628: It’s Okay to Be a Little Weaker_1

Wang Youbao immediately said in a panic, ”This humble one dares not.”

Prime Minister Li snorted, ”You already call me uncle, yet you still claim to be a humble commoner. It seems you truly don’t dare to get angry.”

”No, no, uncle, you misunderstand; that’s not what I mean,” Wang Youbao hurriedly explained. ”Wuyu is the apple of your eye and also has been injured on my behalf in the past. It’s only right that you make things difficult for me; how could I possibly be angry?”

Li Wuyu dissatisfiedly said, ”Father, you promised that you wouldn’t make things difficult for Youbao anymore, but what is this now?”

Prime Minister Li replied, ”I am going to be his father-in-law in the future; can’t I say a few words to him?”

Wang Youbao quickly agreed, ”Indeed, indeed.”

Prime Minister Li, satisfied, said, ”Alright, come and sit down. My daughter has been spoiled by me and lacks proper form, but fortunately, you are someone who knows his manners. I now agree to your marriage, so there’s no need for such formality, always being so cautious around me.”

”Yes,” Wang Youbao responded and sat down, but he still hadn’t relaxed at all.

His gaze drifted unconsciously towards Li Wuyu, and he saw her winking mischievously at him; Wang Youbao’s lips immediately curved into a smile and he relaxed considerably.

Seeing the two of them like this, Prime Minister Li did not insist on the matter but instead said, ”Wuyu told me, her Master and Master’s husband are your friends?”

Because his daughter had already communicated with him, asking him not to reveal the true identities of Xiao Changyi and An Jing, he naturally did not address Xiao Changyi as the Prince and his wife as the Princess now.

Wang Youbao answered, ”Mhm.”

Prime Minister Li said, ”Although Master Wuyu and her Master’s husband are children of farmers, they both are talented individuals and also people who cherish Wuyu dearly. Your close relationship with them is very good, very good.”

Wang Youbao said, ”An Jing and Changyi indeed are talented people; I’ve learned a lot from them and have benefited greatly.”

Prime Minister Li laughed, ”Even better, even better.” He was not one to curry favor with the powerful, but he was genuinely happy that his son-in-law was on good terms with people he respected.

...

After a full twenty days of treatment, little An Yiyun finally no longer needed to take medicine every day to survive.

An Yiyun was not only off daily medication now but his health had also improved quite a bit compared to before.

Although An Yiyun was still frail and couldn’t be compared to his three healthy brothers, the fact that he had been cured to this extent made An Jing and Xiao Changyi quite happy.

Once Gong Juechen was certain that An Yiyun no longer needed to be injected, he handed An Yiyun back to An Jing to hold and said, ”As long as he is well cared for, being a bit frail doesn’t really matter at all. Look at those scholars, none of them can carry on their shoulders or lift with their hands, yet they still live perfectly fine lives. When Yun Er grows up, his health will probably be similar to theirs.”

An Jing had originally thought An Yiyun’s health was worse than everyone else’s, and it never crossed her mind that his constitution would be about the same as those frail scholars, which was higher than her expectations. An Jing was suddenly even happier.

”Thank you, palace doctor,” An Jing sincerely expressed her gratitude.

Gong Juechen immediately put on a shameless face, ”Instead of giving me insincere thanks, why not promise Lanlan to me? That would be a sincere enough gesture for me to accept~”

Meng Lanqing, still dressed as a woman: ”...”

An Jing fell silent for a moment before saying, ”Such matters of marriage should be decided by Lanlan herself.”

Gong Juechen immediately said, ”Lanlan is a servant in your household, you can make decisions for her.”

An Jing replied, ”Lanlan has been loyally serving my family and has worked hard. My husband and I will not interfere in her marriage; it will all be left up to her own wishes.”
