Chapter 124: Grandma Is Angry

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Especially since Han Qiao was pregnant.

If something happened to her, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate anybody who hurts her.

Kicking them out was a light punishment.

Grandpa was still a little confused with the situation, but Grandma knew that Han Qiao was most likely pregnant.

Seeing Heng Yi buy people overnight and sell the maids and old women, she knew he was really angry.

And he was very angry.

“She’s an adult. She knows what she’s doing. She’ll bear the consequences of her own mouth. Don’t be angry. If you’re angry, your body will hurt.”

It had to be said that Grandma was very clear-headed.

She did not side with anyone.

She was just curious about what Han Xiang had said that made Heng Yi so angry.

There were new people in the residence, but these people were also nervous.

Because they saw the maidservants and old women who were gagged and taken away crying, begging for mercy. They kept saying that they knew they were wrong, but the master sitting on the main seat did not even frown.

His dark face was scary.

When Heng Yi returned, Han Qiao was already asleep.

He sat by the bed and looked at his wife’s sleeping figure. His eyes were red again.

He reached out and placed his hand on her abdomen, afraid that he would hurt the life growing inside her.

He laughed foolishly and couldn’t help but raise his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Only God knew how he felt when he found out that Han Qiao was pregnant.

It felt as if he was flying in the sky, floating without any sense of belonging.

Han Qiao opened her eyes and moved closer. “Hurry up and sleep.”

“Alright.”

Heng Yi lay down obediently.

However, he did not dare to move at all.

He touched Han Qiao’s belly and smiled as he fell into a dream.

In the middle of the night, he woke up again. He carefully touched Han Qiao’s stomach and fell asleep again with a smile.

As Han Xiang and Zhou Anshan were chased out of the Heng Manor, they couldn’t believe it.

Han Xiang cursed Han Qiao and Heng Yi.

Zhou Anshan could not help but ask, “What did you say?”

Han Xiang’s heart tightened, but she didn’t dare to tell the truth.

It suddenly started to rain, and the two of them could only hurry to look for an inn to stay.

It was very cold in the morning.

Han Qiao got up and went to the bathroom. When she came back, she curled up in bed.

Heng Yi was already practicing a set of fist techniques in an empty room.

After washing up, he entered the bedroom.

“It’s raining outside and it’s very cold today. Remember to wear thicker clothes.”

“Okay,” Han Qiao replied sullenly.

Heng Yi sat on the stool beside the bed. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I want to eat the wontons sold on the street.”

“Then get up and wash up. 1’11 go buy it for you. Bai Cha is going out of the courtyard today. 1’11 help him pack his luggage and send him off.”

“Alright.”

Han Qiao wasn’t someone who would laze in bed.

She just felt that she was spoiled and became more delicate.

Heng Yi went out to buy wontons for Han Qiao and saw the three children at the door.

“Father.”

“Yes.” He responded indifferently.

Then, he went out.

Sun Xiu and Sun Yi frowned slightly.

At the same time, they felt that Heng Yi wasn’t as close to them as before.

Although it was very slight, it was still somewhat different.

Girls were always sensitive to these things.

The two of them thought of their mother’s pregnancy.

They looked at each other and fell silent.

Sun Ke still didn’t quite understand her sisters’ thoughts, so she happily went in to call for their mother.

Han Qiao slowly got up. When she saw the three children enter, she smiled and hugged Sun Ke.

“You guys are up early.”

“Mother, what happened last night? Why is Father so angry?”

Han Qiao had a guess.

It was most likely because when he had returned from the hunt, he was caught surprised to see her alone in her courtyard with Han Xiang spouting nonsense. He thought that she was being bullied, and there was no one at home to defend her.

However, it was not good to say such things to her youngest daughter.

“Everything is fine. You three just need to study and learn to read with Lady Lin. You can’t fall behind in painting. Next year, we’ll find a master to teach you chess and zither.”

“Okay, Mother.”

The three of them nodded in unison.

“Have you had breakfast?”

“We’ve eaten.”

The four chefs who had just arrived yesterday were quite good at cooking. Under Auntie Zhao’s instructions, they quickly prepared breakfast.

Everyone had eaten except Han Qiao.

“Mother, we don’t need anyone to serve us in our courtyard.” Sun Xiu said.

Han Qiao thought for a moment. “I’ll leave one to serve you tea, run errands, and do the laundry. You can’t do everything yourself.”

“Ah-Xiu, Ah-Yi, Ah-Ke, remember this. You’re now the daughters of a rich family. You must stand up straight and don’t be submissive when doing things.”

“One’s confidence is never given by others. One has to fight for it and cultivate it.”

The three children nodded in unison.

Han Qiao’s heart ached for them. “Mother didn’t need anything else. Mother just wants the three of you to be well.”

“It may be hard for you now, but the skills you’ve learned can be used for your whole lifetime. They’re the foundation for you to settle down in the future, whether it’s between friends, in-laws, or husband and wife.”

“If you have the ability and confidence, you don’t have to bow and scrape. You can also talk to people confidently and share the same hobbies.”

Other than helping her husband and teaching her children, Han Qiao also wanted to add fragrance to her love life.

Most of the time, the way a husband and wife got along was either one overpowering the other or they were evenly matched.

She knew that the children would grow up. If she was pregnant and gave birth, even if she wanted to teach them diligently, she would often be unable to do so.

The three children might still think that she would be biased.

The three children had not left yet when Grandma came with her people.

“All-Qiao is awake.”

“Grandma.”

Grandma’s intention was simple. She didn’t want to keep these people.

It was enough to have one manservant by her side. It was a waste to have two servant girls and an old woman.

“Your grandfather and I can still take care of ourselves now. We’ll talk more about this when we can’t move.”

“Alright.”

Han Qiao agreed.

Grandma then asked Han Qiao again, “What happened last night?”

Han Qiao told Grandma everything that Han Xiang had said and done since she came.

Grandma was furious.” You should have slapped her a few times. That little girl, 1 don’t know where she learned all this from.”

“Split from the main family… I think the main family wouldn’t want to do that. I’m afraid that even one tael of silver won’t be able to stay in her hands.”

She would always argue with her family, but she didn’t dare to say a word in the Zhou family.

“It’s time to kick her out,” Grandma said fiercely.

When Han Qiao married Heng Yi, everyone could see how much he loved her.

It would be perfect if she had a child.

Heng Yi didn’t say it, but he wanted a child of his own.

And because he was picked up by the Heng family, he didn’t even know where his parents were, and he had a child that would continue his bloodline.

Everyone in the Han family was looking forward to Han Qiao getting pregnant and stabilizing her relationship with Heng Yi so that Heng Yi could bring the Han family to make a fortune.

But that little brat…

“Grandma, don’t be angry.”

Han Qiao comforted her grandma.

Then Heng Yi came in with a food box.

His face was neither red nor out of breath. “Ah-Qiao, it’s time to eat wontons.”

He placed the things on the table. Not only did he buy wontons, but he also bought Shaobing and Xiao Long Bao.

Han Qiao couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how willing and happy he was..
