After Jiaojiao got pregnant, her husband who died in the war came back

After he finished speaking, Xie Xun raised his eyes and looked at her, and said in a flat voice: "I have always treated her as my sister. Why did mother say that?"

Mo Xuejing sighed, "What can't you say to mother? You two have known each other for so many years, how could you not have feelings for each other? And when you got engaged, the Fang family also sent a letter, which means Fang Yirou must like you."

Xie Xun really didn't know this, so he followed up by asking, "Since you didn't agree, why did you think of this now?"

Mo Xuejing winked at him and said, "It's a different time now. Who would have thought that the Fang family would become so prosperous? Fang Yirou's father was promoted to the governor of the Nine Gates. I think Fang Yirou's health has improved a lot too. Maybe she can really continue the incense for the Xie family. But if that doesn't work, there's still Meng Nianrui."

"Well, the main thing is that I got a good reputation when I married Meng Nianrui, but reputation can't be used to make a living. You know, these people in the officialdom know how to weigh the pros and cons the best."

Xie Xun's face was calm, and he frowned slightly, "I'll think about this again."

Speaking of Fang Yirou, Mo Xuejing had a confident expression, "What are you thinking about? It's settled."

When Xie Xun walked around the house, Meng Nianrui had already calmed down. She stood up and helped him undress, and then massaged his shoulders to relieve his fatigue.

This is Meng Nianrui's advantage. She is good at comforting herself. Every time she is saddened by Xie Xun, she can digest it on her own without anyone comforting her.

Who made her like him?

He was the mole on her heart when she first fell in love. Now that he had finally married her as she wished, she could endure all the hardships.

It has to be said that Xie Xun is most satisfied with this point about her. She is gentle, considerate, and neither arrogant nor impatient, which wins his heart deeply.

After being married for a year and spending every day together, I can’t say that there is no affection at all.

He spoke slowly, "Don't mention the Duke's Mansion anymore. His Majesty's decision is not going to change overnight. His Majesty has already pointed out another mansion for you. If it's too small, I will buy a bigger one nearby. You can move in within the next two days."

The topic ended before it even started.

Although Meng Nianrui was unwilling, she knew that since he said so, there was probably no turning back.

Her eyes were red, and she nodded aggrievedly: "Okay."

Unable to solve her own problems, she wondered if she could help Song Yinyin. She hesitated and said, "By the way, isn't there a girl named Song Yinyin in our house? Her husband treats her badly, and she wants us to help her arrange a divorce. Can we..."

Xie Xun had always been annoyed by matters in the backyard, and before she could finish, he interrupted her impatiently: "When did you become so free that you even care about the affairs of the maids and servants? Mother is in charge of the backyard, so you don't need to worry about it."

Meng Nianrui: "But..."

Before she could say anything else, she met Xie Xun's cold eyes. Meng Nianrui lowered her head dejectedly, not daring to say another word.

Seeing her like this, Xie Xun was moved. He stood up, looked around and said, "Pack up. I'll stay overnight."

Hearing this, Meng Nianrui suddenly saw the light.

Her mother-in-law always urged her to have a baby, both openly and secretly. She also wanted a child, but a good cook could not cook without rice.

Since they got married, they could count the number of times they had slept together on two hands. Tonight...

When she thought about what was about to happen, Meng Nianrui's face flushed and she nodded shyly.

A single man and a single woman were in the same room, meeting each other after a long separation, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

At least that's what Meng Nianrui thought.

She knew that Xie Xun was always calm and composed when it came to matters between men and women, so she thought about taking the initiative and quietly moved closer to him.

But before she could touch Xie Xun's hand, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
