Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Your Dad Is Just That Cruel!_1

Su Chengyu looked at Xiao Changyi with an incredibly aggrieved expression for a long time, confirming that Xiao Changyi really couldn’t have a proper conversation with him. He then went to coax An Jing, hoping she would put in a good word for him with Xiao Changyi so that he wouldn’t hold a grudge about the fact that he had acquired a government post for An Jing without even informing Xiao Changyi.

”Sister-in-law, these are clothes Wen Xian personally made for Jing’er and the others. Please have a look,” he said.

No sooner had Su Chengyu’s warm and elegantly spoken words come out than one of the accompanying guards respectfully placed a large bundle on the table and unfolded it.

Inside the bundle were tiny garments for children, made of the finest brocade. The clothes were of various colors, with different sizes, large and small; it was apparent that there were four sets of each color and size: one for each child.

The largest of the clothes were suitable for a three-year-old child, and the smallest for a newborn.

It was obvious to anyone who thought about it that Crown Princess Ning Wen Xian had prepared some clothes for four children from ages one to three.

Although An Jing knew that Su Chengyu was using these little clothes to curry favor with her, she was genuinely pleased. If Su Chengyu didn’t care about her husband as an elder brother, why would he bother to please her?

An Jing was all smiles as she picked up the exquisitely made garments and inspected them. ”Wen Xian’s needlework is really not bad. I certainly can’t match it. Look at the clothes Jing’er and the others are wearing right now; they’re all made by Shi Xiaolan from my handkerchiefs,” she praised.

Su Chengyu replied immediately, ”If Sister-in-law likes, I will ask Wen Xian to make some more and send them over for Jing’er and the others once I get back.”

”No need,” An Jing said. ”Wen Xian is the Crown Princess Consort; she has so many things to worry about. You shouldn’t let her work so hard. Besides, the clothes she’s made are already enough for Jing’er and the others.”

With an educated look, Su Chengyu nodded his head. ”What Sister-in-law says is very true.”

An Jing found it amusing. He was really going all out to have her speak well of him to her husband!

However, since Su Chengyu had said that these clothes were personally made by Ning Wen Xian, they must indeed have been by her own hand, and although she had become a farmer official, it hadn’t significantly affected their life...

Thinking this, An Jing said to Xiao Changyi, who had just held little An Yiqing in his arms, ”Husband, Qinger is especially fond of smiling, and seeing him brings joy to everyone. Why don’t you let Chengyu hold him for a bit?”

Upon hearing An Jing’s words, Su Chengyu knew she was helping him. He gave An Jing a grateful look before quickly approaching Xiao Changyi and stretching out his hands, all eagerness. ”Brother Yi, please let me hold him,” he pleaded.

Xiao Changyi didn’t immediately hand the little An Yiqing over to Su Chengyu, but instead regarded him with a cold gaze.

Su Chengyu thought, ”...I’ve already stretched out my hands so eagerly, you’re not really going to refuse to save face and deny me a hold, are you?”

Just as Su Chengyu silently withdrew his hands halfway back, Xiao Changyi finally spoke, ”If you make him cry, you don’t need to come to my house in the future.”

Su Chengyu thought, ”...”

Xiao Changyi didn’t care how Su Chengyu reacted and simply passed the little An Yiqing into Su Chengyu’s arms. Su Chengyu instinctively caught the child and held him tight, then a wave of worry washed over him.

At the same time, a silent wail rose in Su Chengyu’s heart: Qinger, please don’t cry, smile, you have to smile. If you cry, your second uncle will never be able to visit again! Your father is just that cruel!
