The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

There was a subtle vagueness in Xie Tianyi's tone, as if he was deliberately avoiding something. He said lightly: "I don't remember it clearly. I just remember that my hand was accidentally cut by the edge of the bowl. As for what happened afterwards, it was like it was swallowed up by the night. I don't have any impression at all."

In fact, as the headache gradually eased, the memories of that drunken night slowly dissipated like morning mist, becoming clearer and clearer.

But he chose to remain silent, burying those details that might have embarrassed both of them deep in his heart.

To him, saying that he had forgotten everything was a kind of protection and also a relief, allowing everything to end cleanly and neatly.

Chen Xi's tense shoulders relaxed slightly after hearing this, and a relieved smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. "That's OK, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that your alcohol tolerance really needs to be improved. It's better to avoid it in the future, so as not to suffer any more physical pain."

Xie Tianyi nodded silently, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

If there is a similar situation again, he vowed never to touch the inappropriate contents of the cup again.

After all, he and Chen Xi could still be considered "familiar". If he lost his composure to this extent in front of a complete stranger, he would rather hide in a deserted corner than experience that embarrassment again.

……

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Chen Xi had already packed up and got on a creaking ox cart, setting off for the town.

The morning breeze blows on your face, bringing a bit of coolness and anticipation for a new day.

After arriving in the town, she did not stop for a moment and walked straight to Mr. Liu's residence.

On this trip, she was entrusted with an important mission - to personally hand over the "share" to Mr. Liu.

Because Mr. Bai was present yesterday, there were many inconveniences, so it was postponed to today.

After the silver was handed over, Chen Xi took the opportunity to inquire about Lady Liu's recovery.

In the clinic, the doctor's words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the haze in Lady Liu's heart: "You are recovering well. As long as you continue to take the medicine and take medicinal baths, your body will be fully recovered within a month. It will be much easier to have a child then."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu was so excited that her eyes filled with tears. Mr. Liu was gently comforting his wife, his eyes full of pity.

Liu had been trying to have a child for many years because of uterine cold, which became an unspeakable pain in her heart.

Now, as my health has improved, the dawn of hope has finally come true!

Seeing that his efforts helped the patient gradually recover, Chen Xi felt a warm current in his heart. It was the satisfaction and pride as a doctor.

After bidding farewell to the Fang couple, Chen Xi got on the ox cart again and headed towards the county town. He was planning to inspect a few houses in advance in preparation for moving in with Xiaoyang and Xiaochen in the near future.

With his pockets filled with the generous savings accumulated from years of practicing medicine, Chen Xi's eyes naturally fell on those properties with excellent locations and pleasant environments.

After a day of running around and selecting, she finally found her ideal place.

It is a double-entry mansion with a spacious main house and five rooms in total. There is a study room on each side of the hall, and the atmosphere is full of books.

On both sides of the outer door are small rooms prepared for servants, which are both practical and decent; on the right side of the inner door is the kitchen with smoke rising from the kitchen.

The courtyard inside the house was spacious, with an exquisite little bridge in the center leisurely spanning over the green waves. Lotus flowers in the pond were about to bloom, and fish were swimming among them, making the whole place full of vitality. The elegant layout touched Chen Xi's heartstrings just right.

So she bought the house without hesitation.

Chen Xi never hesitates when it comes to things he truly loves.

The next step is to buy furniture and clean the house.

Since there is no ready-made furniture for sale on the market, everything has to be custom-made.

As for the cleaning work, Chen Xi plans to do it together after the children move in, so that this will not only be a simple cleaning, but also a vivid labor education to cultivate good living habits in them from an early age.

Although they are still young, such education is urgent.

Having decided on the idea, Chen Xi immediately went to a famous carpenter's shop in town, already having a preliminary idea of ​​custom-made furniture in mind.

There are five large beds prepared for family members, and six small beds specially prepared for servants to be hired in the future.

It is obviously difficult for her to manage such a spacious mansion alone, and she will need to hire a few reliable helpers in the future.

There are many requirements for furniture design. From the main hall to every bedroom, and even every corner, she hopes that it can be decorated to be comfortable and warm.

After discussing in detail with the carpenter and finalizing the design plan, it was already dark, so Chen Xi turned and headed for the "Jun You Lai" restaurant, where he found Brother Chen and arranged a backyard room for him, where he spent a quiet night.

As the night deepened, Chen Ersao knocked on Chen Xi's door softly, her voice gentle but a little apprehensive: "Xiao Xi, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, please come in, second sister-in-law."

Chen Xi walked quickly to the door and gently opened it with a gentle smile on his face.

"Xiao Xi, there is something I want to discuss with you. I heard that you will be moving into the city with your children soon. Is that true?"

She did not keep the news of Chen Xi's purchase of the house secret from Brother Chen and his wife.

"Yes, sister-in-law."

Chen Xi's answer was simple and affirmative.

"Then, could you please take Jiajia with you? The restaurant business in the city is getting better and better now. Your second brother and I rarely have the opportunity to go back to the village. As time goes by, I miss my children very much. Jiajia is only four years old. I, I..."

At this point, Chen Ersao's voice was choked with sobs, filled with a mother's deep longing for her child.

Chen Xi felt the same way, and the bond between mother and child softened her heart. "It's okay, sister-in-law. I'll bring Jiajia with me next time I go to the city. The child is still young, and he should really spend more time with his parents."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ersao's gratitude was beyond words. She returned to her room, and although she tried hard to restrain herself, her eyes were still red.

Upon seeing this, Chen Pingan hurried forward to ask about his concern. Both of them had the same deep longing for their children in their hearts.

"Don't worry, my sister has already agreed."

Mrs. Chen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a bright smile broke out on her face at the thought of her upcoming reunion with her daughter.

In the blue brick courtyard of Xianghe Village, the laughter of children echoed one after another, full of carefree happiness. "Mom, will we really have a bigger house?"

Xiao Yang asked expectantly.

"Of course, we'll move once everything is ready in our new home."

Chen Xi replied with a smile, his eyes sparkling with a beautiful vision of the future.

"Mom, what does our new home look like? Describe it to us!"

Xiao Chen snuggled tightly in Chen Xi's warm embrace, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation for the unknown world.

Chen Xi stroked Xiao Chen's head gently, her thoughts seeming to have drifted to the place that would become the starting point of their new life. Starting from the simple and solemn door, she described it in great detail.
