The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

When Zhou Xiaoyuan saw this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She originally thought that Nini would be a little uncomfortable with her father, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

But it is easy to understand the nature of children. With the natural affection in her blood, Nini quickly established a relationship with Xia Yechen, which Zhou Xiaoyuan expected.

It's just...how to put it, although it was expected, Zhou Xiaoyuan was not so happy in the end. Instead, she felt that the daughter she had worked so hard to raise fell into the arms of her father, which still made her feel a little more sad and unspeakably complicated. .

Zhou Xiaoyuan also knew that her mentality was wrong, and was trying to adjust herself, but Xia Yechen on the other end seemed to notice something.

The man paused and looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan for a long time, causing Nini to look over. The little girl quickly understood, jumped off the couch, ran to Zhou Xiaoyuan, and pulled her by the hem of her clothes. Question: "Mom, dad asked you why you are in a bad mood?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment. If I remember correctly, the father and daughter didn't actually speak just now, right?

She thought so and couldn't help but raise her head.

He raised his head and met Xia Yechen's eyes. He obviously heard Nini's voice, but the man didn't seem to deny it. He looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan sincerely, with concern in his eyes.

Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but froze, and something strange flashed through her heart. It was hard to describe, but it was a bit torturous.

She didn't dare to think about it, so she lowered her head and looked at Nini, rubbed her head and said, "Children, don't think too much about adult matters. Mom is not in a bad mood. I'm just thinking about things."

Nini listened, nodded in understanding, turned around and looked again

A glance at Xia Yechen seemed to say: "Dad, did you hear that?"

Xia Yechen also nodded silently, but he was obviously not as easy to fool as Nini.

He waved to Nini, seemingly wanting her to come over to him. However, after hesitating, the man stood up again, sat down next to Zhou Xiaoyuan, and said: "Since it is an adult matter, then Can you talk to me, an adult?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan was a little surprised that Xia Yechen was so cooperative. She quickly glanced at Xia Yechen and then lowered her head, looking a little reserved, obviously not wanting to say more.

The man showed a little disappointment when he saw this, but he didn't give up. Instead, he pinched Nini's cheeks together.

The little girl was only that big. Both of them stretched out their hands to tease her, so the distance was naturally close. Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but step back.

Xia Yechen didn't press forward, but was a little silent. After a while, he abruptly changed the topic and asked some questions.

In Zhou Xiaoyuan's opinion, there was actually no need to answer those questions.

But the man didn't seem to want to let the atmosphere get cold. He was a rare talker, talking about whatever came to his mind. Even if Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't respond, he would utter a few words from time to time, which were short but concise.

But it is always easy to make mistakes when talking like this. The next moment, Xia Yechen suddenly asked: "How are you doing these days?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "It's much better than the time when you just disappeared."

She also has partial memories of the original owner, and knows how much her mother-in-law did after the Zhao family's second purple disappeared, so Zhou Xiaoyuan's words are indeed correct.

.

But when these words were spoken to answer this kind of question at this time, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became very subtle.

Xia Yechen's face couldn't be said to be ugly, but it wasn't much better either.

He felt a little guilty and wanted to care about Zhou Xiaoyuan, but Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't bring up any interest at this time. She shook her head and made a random excuse and said: "I'm a little dizzy, let's talk about it later."

This was a tactful rejection. Xia Yechen fell silent, his eyes locked on Zhou Xiaoyuan, but he didn't know what he could do.

All the way we finally arrived at Prince Rong’s Mansion.

Nini breathed a sigh of relief when she got off the carriage. Although she was still young, she was clearly aware of the strange atmosphere between her father and mother. How could she dare to speak?

Xia Yechen felt the same way. He didn't want Zhou Xiaoyuan to hate him, so when he saw the family, he cheered up and took the initiative to lead them.

Zhou Xiaoyuan originally wanted to refuse.

Due to emotions and reasons, a prince would not take away someone else's work, but Xia Yechen still persisted, pretending to be relaxed and picked up Nini, and said: "I have arranged new arrangements for Nini and you." The house is very beautiful, can I take you over to have a look?"

He said he was taking Nini over to see the new house, but in fact, he was just looking for an excuse to be alone with Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Zhou Xiaoyuan could clearly see this little thought. She paused. She actually wanted to refuse, but there was no reason. After all, he was indeed the husband of the original owner and Nini's father.

Zhou Xiaoyuan narrowed her eyes and said nothing. Xia Yechen took her as her acquiescence and was a little happy for a moment.

After leading the mother and daughter into the new courtyard, Xia Yechen was still introducing her, saying that Zhou Xiaoyuan's house was decorated according to the design.

She liked to arrange things, and her expression was still lost in memories as she talked about their wedding.

He probably wanted to use this to awaken Zhou Xiaoyuan's memories, but this Zhou Xiaoyuan was not that Zhou Xiaoyuan.

How could she, a foreign soul, know these memories clearly?

Zhou Xiaoyuan showed an awkward yet polite smile, struggling in her heart to tell Xia Yechen that the original owner was gone, but she didn't know how to explain it.

From the beginning, Zhou Xiaoyuan did not dare to publicize this matter. The idea of ​​resurrecting a corpse sounded too sinister.

What if someone suspected that she had other tricks and burned her alive to drive away evil spirits?

Just because of this hesitation, Xia Yechen thought he saw hope.

The man hugged them directly, using his posture to hold both the mother and daughter in his arms. He talked about his longing for them over the years and what he had done on the battlefield.

We have been fighting on the border for many years. Which soldier on the battlefield has not been through life and death, and has been through the gate of hell several times?

Xia Yechen was injured more than once or twice, and the most serious times almost cost him his life.

He only had one idea at the time, there was still someone waiting for him at home.

The man said that he had the motivation to persevere. His tone was low, not joking. Zhou Xiaoyuan opened her mouth, but suddenly realized that if she told him the truth now, it would just tear his scars alive again.

She couldn't bear it, but she didn't know how to comfort him. She remained silent without struggling, and could only act as a listening stake.

But in Xia Yechen's opinion, this is actually enough.

The man tightened his arms, knowing that he had made the right bet, but she still couldn't bear it. Even if she lost her memory, she still didn't want to

I just want to give up myself and the relationship they have had for many years. This is enough.
