Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 746: Chapter 747: Could it be that you are..._1

”Regardless of how simple her identity may be, we can’t afford to bring trouble upon ourselves,” An Jing continued to say. ”It’s not that we have much to lose, but we currently have four children, each one still so young and in need of our protection. We don’t know her background and it’s better for her to leave sooner rather than later. Once her injuries are a bit healed, we should let her go.”

She had rescued the person out of kindness, she had done all that was righteous and humane.

”Hmm,” Xiao Changyi had no objections.

...

Once An Jing had prepared the porridge, she carried it out of the courtyard.

Xiao Changyi had nothing much to do besides taking care of the children, so he simply picked up An Yiyun, who couldn’t walk very well yet, and led Su Yi Jing, Su Yixing, and An Yiqing, planning to join An Jing on her way to see Wild Goose Jade.

Jing, Star, and Qing, three little ones, followed behind An Jing and Xiao Changyi. Although they could walk by themselves, they were still a bit unstable, which made the scene look particularly adorable.

Meng Zhuqing was standing at the entrance of Wild Goose Jade’s room. Upon seeing An Jing and the others, she quickly walked over to them and dutifully took the porridge from Madame An Jing’s hands to carry it herself.

Gong Juechen was lying on the ground; An Jing and Xiao Changyi, as if they didn’t see him, went straight into the room where Wild Goose Jade was staying.

Upon their entrance, Wild Goose Jade supported herself to sit up, leaning against the headboard.

The moment she saw Xiao Changyi, Wild Goose Jade’s beautiful eyes briefly flashed with surprise; she had not expected that the man clearly dressed as a farmer’s son could emanate such an imposing aura that made it difficult to look at him directly.

”Wild Goose Jade, this is my husband,” An Jing said with a smile while introducing. ”As for these four little turnip heads, naturally, they are the children of me and my husband.”

Wild Goose Jade looked at the four little ones, surprise flashing through her beautiful eyes before, apparently thinking of something, her lovely brows slightly furrowed.

”I have heard that there is a woman in Qilin County who bore four sons in one birth; could it be that you are...” Wild Goose Jade truly hadn’t expected the woman of that particular birth to be An Jing.

The news of the woman in Qilin County giving birth to four sons had already spread far and wide throughout the Xiyun Kingdom, even reaching the ears of people in other countries.

It wasn’t a secret at all, and An Jing had no need to lie: ”Yes, I am the woman who gave birth to four sons at once. And these four little turnip heads are my sons.”

Immediately afterwards, An Jing took the porridge from Meng Zhuqing’s hands, passed it to Wild Goose Jade, and smiled, ”By the way, you don’t know his name yet, do you? His name is Meng Zhuqing; he was the first to discover you. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have found you, let alone rescued you and brought you back.”

Wild Goose Jade gave Meng Zhuqing a lukewarm glance but said nothing.

As soon as she received the porridge An Jing handed to her, she began to eat.

An Jing watched Wild Goose Jade eat the porridge in a calm, unhurried, and extremely graceful manner. Wild Goose Jade was already a stunning beauty, and now, because of the way she ate the porridge, an innate nobility seemed to radiate from her.

Indeed, she was no ordinary person.

An Jing sighed inwardly, understanding, but her face did not betray her realization.

After finishing the porridge, Wild Goose Jade finally spoke again, ”Thank you for saving me. Should there be a day when Wild Goose Jade can repay you, I will certainly do so.”

As she said this, Wild Goose Jade attempted to get out of bed to leave.

However, An Jing quickly prevented her, ”We don’t need your repayment; you should stay a few more days before leaving. Your injuries are truly not ready for travel. We had a hard time bringing you back. If you leave now, you might just collapse once you’re outside the door.”
