Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1192: Chapter 1193: Brought It Upon Oneself...

Immediately, An Jing accepted the silver note given by Su Yixing, but she planned to return it to Gong Juechen later.

Such a large amount of money, her naive son asked others for it, and although they gave it, she could not really accept it.

”Let’s go, time to eat.” An Jing carried Su Yixing and placed him on the bench next to Xiao Changyi, making the little guy continue to eat his meal.

Patting Su Yixing’s little head, An Jing then walked back to her own seat and sat down.

While picking up the chopsticks to continue eating, she said to Xiao Changyi, ”Husband, let’s eat first. If Ye Zi hasn’t come back after we finish, we’ll clear the dishes. If she comes back, we’ll have someone prepare a meal for her.”

”Mhm.” Xiao Changyi responded while putting a piece of deboned fish into An Jing’s bowl.

An Jing naturally picked it up and ate, sighing while eating, ”With them being so rowdy every day, our mansion is also quite lively. But yes, I am a little worried.”

”Worried about what?”

”Worried that if they continue this way, Ye Zi might truly fall for Gong Juechen, what then? If Gong Juechen truly likes Ye Zi, there’s no problem. But I’m afraid he only likes Ye Zi for her face. If another girl who looks better than Ye Zi comes along and he fancies her, leaving Ye Zi aside, and by that time, if Ye Zi has already fallen for Gong Juechen, she will be very heartbroken.”

”You’re thinking too much.”

An Jing immediately burst into laughter, ”What, are you getting fed up with me?”

”Not at all, just a reminder.” Saying this, Xiao Changyi put another piece of fish with no bones into her bowl.

”I don’t want to eat fish anymore, pick up some beef for me.” An Jing passed the fish in her bowl to the little guy An Yiyun who was sitting next to her and asked Xiao Changyi to pick up some beef for her.

The beef was out of her reach.

”Mhm.” Xiao Changyi immediately picked four pieces of beef for An Jing’s bowl.

”Meaty. Daddy, Qinger also wants meaty.” The little An Yiqing sitting on the other side of An Jing saw her eating beef, so he pointed at the plate of beef and whined for Xiao Changyi to pick some for him.

Xiao Changyi immediately picked two pieces for him.

An Jing first watched her three sons happily eating beef, and then said, ”I also think I might be overthinking it, but it’s also because I’m worried about Ye Zi. Ye Zi doesn’t have relatives here, she’s most familiar with me and trusts me the most, I really should consider it for her. I truly hope she can find happiness just like me.”

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”Ye Zhi is aware that Gong Juechen is attracted to her face. If she still falls for him knowing this and ends up heartbroken later on, it’s her own doing.”

Although it sounded a bit harsh, it was indeed the truth.

Hearing this, An Jing sighed but didn’t continue on this topic. Instead, she changed the subject, ”On this first day, not a single woman has come to enlist in the army. There are still nine days left. Will you also come with me to the city gate every day for the remaining days?”

The recruitment of female soldiers in the Imperial Capital was only for ten days. Once the ten days passed, the enrollment would close. This also applied to other areas in Xiyun; the period was ten days, with no extensions.

”Mhm.” Xiao Changyi agreed without hesitation. The mansion’s guards were rigorous, and their children were very safe staying inside the mansion. But it was different for his wife.

Considering the assassination attempt by Dongfang Tianyang, as well as the incident during Meng Zhuqing and Tuoba Yao’s wedding day, he and his wife were the targets. His wife going to the city gate to recruit soldiers without him by her side to protect her, he genuinely felt uneasy.
