After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 177 No regrets
A black figure came out from a building full of beautiful girls.

Eyes looking up, Xianyuefang.

Qingtan placed Sui'an in his arms next to Qi'an and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"lady……"

Rong Peilan withdrew his gaze and looked back at her.

"I, my mother sent me a letter..."

Qingtan slowly lowered her head. She was a house-born child. Her father lived on the farm, her mother lived in the greenhouse, and she had two brothers living in the outer courtyard.

Three years ago, when they had to hastily move to Jinpeng, all the servants who were unwilling to leave Beijing were paid money to release their deeds.

Her parents and brothers all took the opportunity to escape from slavery and go out to make a living.

Her father and brothers were both addicted gamblers. In the past, when she worked in Yuhui Garden, she had a high salary and was a decent person, so her parents didn't dare to hit her.

Later, when she had the opportunity to get away from these blood-sucking insects, she voluntarily followed them to Jinpeng.

Her parents and brothers couldn't find her, so she saved all her money over the past few years.

The day before yesterday, her parents actually sent the letter to the Ji family granary.

Only then did Manager Zhou pass the letter to her.

Rong Peilan had never heard Qingtan mention her family affairs. She knew that although Mrs. Wu from the greenhouse was not very talkative, she was still an honest person.

"What's wrong, are you missing home?"

"No!" Qingtan looked up suddenly.

"My mother said that she had found a family for me to marry."

Qingtan is two years older than Rong Peilan. She is already twenty-two years old and will be twenty-three soon.

She is already an unmarried woman of advanced age, and she won't be able to find a good family to marry into if she is released.

Qingtan is good-looking and a very honest girl.

Originally, Zhong was planning to be Ji Yunzhang's concubine, but later the matter was shelved and Qingtan became the head maid in Yuhui Garden.

Zhong had asked about Qingtan's marriage many times, but Qingtan herself refused and Zhong had no way to force her to marry, so her life was delayed.

Now that the old matter was brought up again, Rong Peilan softened her voice, "Qingtan, if you want to go back and get married, I will prepare some dowry for you..."

"I don't want to! Ma'am, I don't want to!"

Qingtan couldn't help shedding tears.

"I finally got away from those blood-sucking bugs, and I don't want to go back."

Little Sui'an, who was playing happily with his brother, stood up by grabbing Qingtan's collar and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, Sui Sui will blow the trumpet."

Qingtan embraced Sui'an's small body and raised her tearful face, "Madam, I am willing to take care of you for the rest of my life."

Shen Chun spoke at the right time, "Madam, I don't want to get married either."

Haitang patted her hand and said, "Don't get involved."

It is almost common knowledge that Jixing is in love with Chen Chun.

Rong Peilan said unhappily, "None of you are married. People who don't know would think that I, as the wife, am holding the maid hostage and won't let her go."

The carriage stopped in front of the Ji Mansion. Rong Peilan patted Qingtan's hand and said, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. The mansion will always protect you."

"But if you have someone you like, you must tell me. I will check for you, and the old lady will also check for you."

Qingtan hugged Xiao Sui'an, wiped her tears, and answered in a buzzing voice, "Yes."

She paused and then said, "I don't have anyone I like."

Rong Peilan smiled and said nothing.

When I got off the bus, Ji Yunzhang happened to come back.

Two people walking forward and backward.

"Father!"

The two children struggled to get down and ran towards the tall black shadow.

Ji Yunzhang also squatted down early and opened his arms to welcome the brother and sister.

As soon as they arrived, they braked the car in a hurry.

The two of them covered their mouths and noses and took several steps back in unison.

“Stinky!”

"Daddy stinks!"

The smile on Ji Yunzhang's face froze a little as he looked at the two children with disgust.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and smell my arm, "It doesn't smell like sweat, how can it stink?" Qi An had already run away, "Mom, mom, dad stinks, please sleep with me tonight, don't sleep with him~"

Rong Peilan covered Qi'an's mouth with a dark face and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Go find Zuzu."

Haitang pursed her lips with a smile and quickly walked away holding Qi'an's hand.

When he was almost out of sight, Qi'an turned around and shouted, "Mom, remember to sleep with Qi'er, not with Dad..."

The rest of the words could not be heard as Haitang quickly ran away.

After his brother left, Sui'an twisted his little body and ran after him.

The bustling entrance was suddenly empty.

Rong Peilan glanced at Ji Yunzhang who was still looking at her, then walked into the mansion.

Ji Yunzhang looked up again, and there was no one at the door.

Looking at his wife's back, he walked up to her quickly, "Lan..."

As Ji Yunzhang approached, the rich fragrance, mixed with the smell of wine and a few hints of meat, all entered Rong Peilan's nose.

The churning in my stomach began to rise.

"vomit……"

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

Rong Peilan covered her mouth and nose and stood away from him before she put her hands down.

"Qier is right, it stinks! Stay away from me."

When Ji Yunzhang finished washing up and returned to the room, Rong Peilan was sitting at the desk reading an article newly written by Rong Lingkuan.

Ji Yunzhang, a man of little knowledge, admired his brother-in-law Rong Lingkuan very much.

The article does not have gorgeous words, nor does it have any utopian prosperity.

There is only thinking about the world and reflection on predecessors.

If he were to serve as an official in the court, he would surely achieve great things.

Ji Yunzhang slowly moved in, and only sat down next to Rong Peilan when he saw that she no longer had morning sickness.

"Lan'er, I went to the fairyland to get the military rations from the Dong family's grain shop..."

"I know."

Rong Peilan looked up at him.

"I know what you want to do."

She put the article in her hand into a wooden box on the table. There were already quite a few articles in the box, all written by Rong Lingkuan.

Rong Peilan helped him collect them all.

"Even though you don't hold any official position now, people still can't help but check you out."

Ji Yunzhang opened his mouth but said nothing.

He couldn't help but investigate, whether it was the Northwest Army or the Southwest Army.

They were all brothers who had been through life and death together. After the war, these brothers’ things were worthless, as the military rations had been coveted by others.

Rong Peilan lowered her head and touched her slightly bulging belly.

"But now I just want to see my child grow up safely."

Ji Yunzhang looked at her profile for a while before speaking softly.

"Wei Chi will come in a few days. After I find out the truth about Jin Peng, I will hand it over to him. It will help his career."

Rong Peilan raised her head and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"You, you don't regret it?"

A smile appeared on Ji Yunzhang's lips, "No regrets."

"Mother, wife, Qi'er, and An'er are all here. There will be a lively little one in the future."

In the quiet garden, through the half-open window you can see a couple looking at each other.

The man's voice came from the window again.

"My dear, the expansion of our family depends on..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a voice——

"Ow—"

"Pinch gently, pinch gently--"
