Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1072: The insider is lost, the bystander is clear

”That’s good,” An Jing nodded. ”We won’t restrict whom you marry, but if you still want to stay in this family, you absolutely cannot have multiple wives or concubines.”

Meng Zhuqing whispered very softly, ”I just want to live a simple and warm life with the Commandery Princess just like Sir and Madame...”

An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, ”Didn’t you absolutely refuse to let Wild Goose Jade know about your feelings for her before? How come you’ve changed so much overnight, not only wanting to marry her but also wanting to live this simple life with her?”

Meng Zhuqing said, ”I’ve thought it through. I’ve looked this way for so long, and she still delights in me, which shows she doesn’t mind my appearance.”

”You speak so smoothly in front of us, but how about in front of her, are you as smooth?” An Jing teased.

Meng Zhuqing’s ears turned red, but he honestly shook his head, indicating no.

”Do you really not mind that she can’t have children?” An Jing suddenly asked very seriously.

Meng Zhuqing immediately answered very seriously, ”I don’t mind.”

An Jing said, ”Then you should convey this intention to her, she is concerned about this. Once she stops caring about it, she will probably agree to marry you.”

Meng Zhuqing was instantly enlightened, joyfully saying, ”Thank you, Madame, for the advice!”

An Jing smiled, ”It’s not really advice, just that the spectator sees the game better than the players.”

After Meng Zhuqing left, An Jing turned around only to see her four little ones holding tiny tea cups, drinking tea, looking incredibly cute.

”Do you like it?” An Jing immediately asked with a smile.

The four little ones grinned immediately, ”It’s delicious. Daddy poured it, it’s delicious.”

Then An Jing turned to look at her husband, who said nothing but pushed the cup of tea he had poured for her towards her, letting her drink.

An Jing first glanced at the tea with a smile then cheerfully picked up the tea and began to drink leisurely.

This simple life, it was truly wonderful.

...

That night, Meng Zhuqing sneaked into King Sheng’s mansion again.

Meng Zhuqing had thought that Tobanya would have left the door open for him, but when he stood at the entrance to Tobanya’s room and pushed lightly, he found the door wouldn’t budge.

Clearly, the door had been bolted from the inside.

Seeing that there were no lights on in the room, no sounds, and since it was the middle of the night, Meng Zhuqing also couldn’t tell whether Tobanya was asleep. Thus, he didn’t knock or do anything else, he just stood silently at Tobanya’s doorway.

As dawn was about to break, Meng Zhuqing left, worried about being discovered.

That night, Meng Zhuqing didn’t see Tobanya.

For the next four nights, Meng Zhuqing stood quietly at the doorway of Tobanya’s room, never seeing her.

Inevitably, Meng Zhuqing became anxious.

Finally, on the seventh night since Tobanya had been trampled by a horse, Meng Zhuqing knocked at Tobanya’s window.

Initially, Meng Zhuqing had intended to knock on the door, but then he thought the window was closer to Tobanya’s bed, so he knocked on the window, hoping even a soft knock would be heard by her.

But he knocked, and Tobanya inside did not respond.

Meng Zhuqing felt somewhat disappointed, deeply disheartened. He hesitated for a long while and then knocked again.

Still, nobody answered.

Meng Zhuqing felt even more disheartened. Then, disregarding whether anyone inside responded, he just stood by the window and softly said to the person inside, ”I might be a bit dull, not knowing how to say charming words that please a lady, I just want you to know, I don’t mind whether you can have children or not.”
