Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

After discussing with Mrs. Hou, Xiao Yan ordered the kitchen to bring the food to Mrs. Hou's yard. As for Wang Jingxuan, Mrs. Hou didn't want to see her for the time being, so Wang Jingxuan had dinner alone in her yard.

Qiu'er took her injured hand to the kitchen to serve Wang Jingxuan dinner. As soon as she entered the room, she heard Wang Jingxuan cursing.

"Damn old woman, I don't care to eat with you, why don't you die? You know how to take care of my business in just one day."

When Qiuer saw Wang Jingxuan, Wang Jingxuan had a ferocious face.

"Why did you go so long? Do you want to starve me to death?"

"Madam, the kitchen is preparing the fetal soup for you again today, so it's a little slow. The servant came as soon as dinner was mentioned, keeping you waiting for a long time." Qiu'er explained tremblingly, looking at Wang Jingxuan's expression. , afraid that Wang Jingxuan would go crazy with her again.

Wang Jingxuan was also really hungry. As soon as Qiu'er took the food out of the basket, Wang Jingxuan started to eat hungrily.

"Madam, please slow down, be careful not to choke."

"What? You want to take care of me like my mother? I wanted to be gentle and dignified before I got married. Now my husband is eating with my mother-in-law. Can't you let me be more at ease when I eat alone?"

Qiu'er also didn't expect that the young lady she had served since childhood would reveal her true nature after she got married.

After Wang Jingxuan finished eating, Qiu'er returned to the kitchen carrying the bowls and chopsticks. On the way, she happened to meet Xiao Yan who had finished eating with the old lady.

"I have seen the Duke."

Xiao Yan caught a glimpse of the eye-catching white cloth in Qiu'er's hand.

"Aren't you Qiu'er from Madam's room? What's going on with this hand?"

Qiu'er's eyes dodge and she subconsciously hides her hands in her sleeves.

"Returning to the country, sir, this slave accidentally broke the madam's tonic soup, and accidentally scratched it while picking up the pieces."

"Madam is pregnant now, you should take better care of her."

Xiao Yan ignored Qiu'er and walked straight to Wang Jingxuan's room.

"Master, I heard that Madam has been in a lot of mood swings recently, and she always beats and scolds Qiu'er." Wang Xiaowu suddenly remembered what he had heard recently, and told Xiao Yan about it.

"Qiu'er is Madam's bride. We don't need to pay much attention to Madam's treatment of her. From today on, we will send two more people to Madam's yard in case something unexpected happens." Xiao Yan will not care about the life or death of a maid. , he only cares about Wang Jingxuan's belly now, because he never had a child in his previous life.

Wang Xiaowu said worriedly:

"Master, let's go to Madam now and ask for the account book. Will Madam be unhappy?"

"Now only my father-in-law can suppress her. When my mother asked her for the account books, she refused many times. If I didn't look at the account books, I don't know how much the family has lost in the past two months."

Wang Jingxuan sat slumped on the couch and heard steady footsteps approaching her. Qiu'er's footsteps were not so deep, so she guessed that Xiao Yan was coming, and quickly got up to tidy up her hair and clothes.

Wang Jingxuan looked up and saw Xiao Yan and Wang Xiaowu coming in one after another.

Wang Jingxuan saluted and said:

"My lord, do you plan to rest in my room today?"

After Wang Jingxuan became pregnant, Xiao Yan moved back to his house, so Wang Jingxuan wondered why Xiao Yan came to his house when it was dark.

"I came back early today. I spent the afternoon with my mother. I think it's still early, so I came to see you first. How are you doing? Are you resting well?" Xiao Yan sat directly at the dining table in Wang Jingxuan's room, with his face on his face. He said without any expression, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.

"To tell you the truth, I've been resting well recently, but the little one in my belly was a little noisy during the day." When she said the last sentence, Wang Jingxuan glanced at her belly proudly.

Hearing that the little guy in his belly was a little fussy, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Wang Jingxuan.

"Come here!" Xiao Yan waved gently to Wang Jingxuan.

After Wang Jingxuan came over, Xiao Yan gently placed his hand on Wang Jingxuan's belly.

"It must be a boy. In the future, the Duke of our country will have a successor." Xiao Yan said this, and Wang Jingxuan smiled instantly. This was equivalent to a hint that she would pass on the title to the child in her belly.

Wang Jingxuan sneered in her heart:

"Xiao Yan, you must have never imagined that all your hard-earned wealth and title are wedding dresses for others. I will definitely give birth to this child well and vent my anger on myself."

"Master, I will take good care of the baby and give birth to the baby safely." Wang Jingxuan said with a smile on her face.

Xiao Yan thought of the business matter that he came to see Wang Jingxuan, and said quickly:

"Since you want to take good care of the fetus, please give me the account book and the keys to the warehouse. There is a new person coming to Dali Temple. I have time to take care of the house. If you leave it to the princess of my country, you can take care of the fetus in peace and contentment."

When Wang Jingxuan heard this, her face immediately changed. She thought it must be the old lady who complained to Xiao Yan.

"Master, I haven't settled some accounts yet. It's getting late today. Why don't I send someone to deliver them to you after I've sorted them out in a few days."

Xiao Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"No, it just so happens that my father-in-law is free tonight. He usually goes to bed late, and he can't sleep now. Xiao Wu, please bring the warehouse keys and account books with your wife before we leave."

Xiao Yan's operation did not give Wang Jingxuan any chance.

In the end, Wang Jingxuan had no choice but to give Xiao Yan the account books and warehouse keys that had not yet been falsified.

"You are not suitable for accounting. In the future, you can live in the Duke's Mansion and give birth to children well. No matter you are male or female, the Duke will not treat you badly. If someone new comes into the mansion in the future, the affairs of the mansion will be taken care of by the new person. , you should also get along well with the new couple, as long as you don't commit any crimes in the future, the Duke's government will definitely not abandon you."

Xiao Yan was worthy of being a prince at a young age. After weighing the pros and cons, he and his mother decisively decided to give up on Wang Jingxuan. Nature is easy to change but hard to change. Instead of reforming Wang Jingxuan, they decided to find someone new.

Wang Jingxuan's face turned a little whiter. Originally, what Xiao Yan said to her in the afternoon, Wang Jingxuan thought that Xiao Yan just wanted to warn her and did not expect to come to take back the warehouse keys and housekeeping rights at night. She had to go through a lot of trouble to let me People let go.

She couldn't figure out why Xiao Yan didn't care about her and the child in her belly even though she was pregnant. Wasn't Xiao Yan afraid of affecting her and her fetus?If a newcomer comes to take care of the Duke's mansion, where will he put his face?Even when I go out, I will be laughed at by other ladies.

What's more, when Wang Jingxuan first married Xiao Yan, she attended banquets to show off. If Xiao Yan married a common wife and came back to manage the Duke's palace, Wang Jingxuan would become a joke among the women in the capital.

"Master, have you listened to someone's nonsense? If there is something wrong with me, I can change it. If you really invite new people to manage the Duke's mansion, where will you put me? ? I will be laughed at if I go out in the future." Wang Jingxuan struggled in the end, hoping that Xiao Yan would take back his idea.
