Chapter 358 Aunt
Duke Zhao was very satisfied with the result, and said: "Nanyuan now holds the land of Chu and has a good relationship with Dongjiang. In fact, there are many choices. Xu Huan expressed his position so simply, we deserve this friendship. Xiao Er, take care of yourself in the future Honor your father-in-law, although he doesn't mention it, we need to know what he gave up."

He paused for a while, and then said: "If your children are prosperous, it doesn't matter if you choose one to adopt."

In this generation of the Yan family, there are only two sons left in the direct line. Lord Zhaoguo decided not to let his direct son marry into another family. He felt guilty for saying so.

Xu Huan was full of love for his daughter, and he didn't mention any conditions. If his family took such a big advantage, if he didn't express his position, he would really feel sorry.

Yanling was very happy: "Yes, father."

After talking about important matters, Duke Zhao noticed that the eldest son was not in a good mood, so he asked, "Ah Cheng, what's bothering you? You've been depressed these days."

Yan Cheng shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been so busy lately that I'm a little tired."

Mr. Zhao Guo nodded, and said: "It's fine in front of us, but you have to restrain yourself when you go back. After all, you are newly married, so don't let your wife feel left out."

"Yes."

"Okay, you all go back! It's getting late, take a good rest, there are many things to do next!"

The two brothers responded in unison and exited the study.

Yan Ling put her arms around the elder brother's shoulders and said with a smile, "Brother, I haven't wished you a happy wedding yet!"

Yan Cheng smiled: "It's not that you are too busy, you just rushed back to attend a wedding, and ran away without a trace the next day. How is it, did you have fun in Nanyuan?"

"I'm very happy, brother, you don't know..." He babbled again about his fight with the envoy of the false emperor, and praised how clever he was in hiding the marriage certificate.

Yan Cheng listened with a smile until he was interrupted at a fork in the road: "Okay, I will brag about myself. Now that the marriage is settled, I have to learn to be an adult in the future, and I can't be as childish as before."

"I'm not childish, I went out and did a lot of things this time!" Yan Ling objected.

"Yes, yes, Second Young Master Yan is very capable. Go back and rest. If you want to play, you can play tomorrow."

"Brother, are you in a hurry to go back to see sister-in-law? Then I won't delay you! See you tomorrow!" Yanling laughed and ran away.

Sure enough, I was too busy during this time, and my eldest brother was tired and stupid just now.Well, since he's back, let's help share more.After all, the eldest brother is still newly married, so he needs to spend more time with his sister-in-law.

Yan Cheng watched him run away with a smile, and when the figure was completely out of sight, his face darkened.

Back in his yard, Mrs. Xie came out to greet him and help him wash and change his clothes.

Yan Cheng slowly smiled, held her hand, and said softly: "You have only entered the house not long ago, there are many things to get started, so don't do these things yourself, it's not like there are no maids."

The husband-in-law is so considerate, Xie's heart is very ironic.

She was very satisfied with this marriage.When I saw it with my own eyes, Yan Cheng had a dignified appearance, was gentle and courteous, and was impeccable.Moreover, Duke Zhao's family has a good family style, a harmonious husband and wife, and brotherly love. Such a family can't be found even with a lantern.Now that she is married, her mother-in-law is kind and her husband is gentle, Xie has nothing to dislike.

"A maid is a maid, I am me, how can it be the same?"

After finishing the chores, Yan Cheng sent the maids down, leaving the couple alone.

"Is there any news about the letter you sent back to your natal family?"

Mrs. Xie shook her head: "I think there is chaos over there, but there is no reply yet."

Yan Cheng let out an oh, and lowered his head to read the book.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xie became worried, sat down and asked him: "Husband, I see that you are very worried, what's wrong?"

Yan Chengdao: "Liang Xing raised troops in Qi County, and the forces there are chaotic. I'm afraid that your natal family will be involved, and I'm also worried that the situation will become more complicated."

Mrs. Xie replied softly: "Husband, don't worry, my father has already made preparations, and one Liang Xing is not enough to shake the Xie family."

The Xie family is a centuries-old family with deep foundations, not only based on a city, but also has extensive connections.The general trend of the world did not become like this in a day or two, they had planned it long ago.

Yan Cheng nodded, put down the scroll, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest."

The bed was already made, and the two turned off the lights and lay down.

He was very tired these few days, and Xie became confused after a while.

In the darkness, I suddenly heard Yan Cheng say: "Don't say anything about writing the letter, and don't reveal anything to your mother."

Xie woke up suddenly, and she blurted out, still a little dazed, "Why?"

"There are some things that I haven't thought about yet." Yan Cheng said slowly, carefully choosing his words, "In a few days, there will be major events outside, so there is no need to disturb parents at this time."

Xie still didn't understand, but her obedience to her husband made her agree.

"I see."

Yan Cheng stretched out his hand and patted her: "I'll be very busy in the future, I may not have time to accompany you, don't take offense."

Xie smiled, and replied softly: "My husband is doing big things, I understand. I will learn from my mother and take care of the rear house for you."

Yan Cheng smiled back, took her into his arms, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Xie was very satisfied with her husband's tenderness, and soon fell asleep leaning against him.

Yan Cheng closed his eyes, but he was half asleep and half awake. At this moment, he was still in the room, and after a while, a messy scene flashed in front of his eyes, as if he was in a cramped Buddhist temple.

The war brought many refugees, and the Guogong Mansion borrowed the place of Daming Temple to resettle some of them.

It was the third day after marriage, he accompanied his mother and new wife to the Daming Temple to fulfill their vows, but was led into a remote courtyard.

When he saw the peasant woman's face clearly, he was shocked: "Empress Xian?"

The noble and elegant concubine took care of him everywhere during the short time he stayed in the capital, and even specially sent him a practice gift when he left the capital.Knowing that the capital had changed dramatically, he thought of her for a moment, hoping that she would escape.He never expected that at this moment, she would appear in Tongyang, in front of him!
Concubine Liu Xian was wearing a blue-gray sarong, and her hair was in a messy bun. She even smeared incense ash on her face, and her disheveled appearance looked no different from those of the refugee women.

Seeing him, Concubine Liu Xian immediately shed tears: "A Cheng!"

Seeing that her figure was unstable, Yan Cheng hurriedly reached out to help her, feeling weird.

He only met Concubine Liu Xian a few times, why did he call him so affectionate?As if he was really his own nephew.

He suppressed his emotions and said to Concubine Liu Xian: "It's great that you are safe and sound. Now that you are here, follow me back to the Duke's Mansion. I think mother will be very happy to see her old friend..."

Concubine Liu Xian immediately interrupted him: "No! A Cheng, I don't want to see your mother, I'm here to see you!"

Yan Cheng was taken aback for a moment: "Your Majesty..."

"Don't call me Niangniang." Concubine Liu Xian looked at him with sadness and joy in her eyes, "You should call me aunt."
