After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Ever since Chu and Song, two mother-like figures, moved into Mancuixuan and Zhao'er was taken away by Princess Du, Jinchu's life became much easier.

Every morning before leaving the house, she would go to Mancuixuan to check on Huanyan. Huanyan was usually not awake yet, so Mother Chu would give her a brief report on Huanyan's eating and sleeping habits last night.

After returning home in the afternoon, he first went to pay his respects to Princess Du in her courtyard, and also checked on Zhao'er's academic performance and physical condition. No matter how busy he was in the evening, he would take time to chat with Huanyan and see how she was doing.

Zhao'er would come to Mancuixuan every three to five days to visit his sister-in-law who was pregnant with his nephew, and also let Huanyan, who was like a brother to him, see how he was doing so that he could rest assured and take care of the pregnancy.

Because Su Cheng'an found a martial arts master for Zhao'er after the New Year, the little guy's daily schedule was very full. Every day after school, he would follow the master to hone his muscles and bones. He was always exhausted and sweating.

Looking at his shaky figure several times, Jin Chu felt that he might not be able to hold on to the end, but he didn't expect that this child relied on his tenacious perseverance to get through the most painful and difficult stage of finding the way in the mountains.

At this point, Zhao'er's martial arts journey began to improve, and he became stronger day by day.

During this period, Su Yingzhen also became a frequent visitor to Shaoguangyuan. Since Jinchu always returned to the mansion in the afternoon, she would rush to find Jinchu in the afternoon.

The little foodie always came with a bulging bag of food, and even if she ate herself, she would feed Jinchu a taste. Gradually, Jinchu got used to it. Whenever she brought food, he would take a piece and taste it before saying anything else.

Ever since Zhao'er moved into Hanzhang Courtyard, Princess Du has been treating him like a little son, showering him with endless maternal love. In addition to taking care of household chores, she also shows concern and care for Zhao'er every day.

Even the Prince of Dingbei, who had always been indifferent to the trivialities of the inner court, when he complained bitterly that Princess Du didn't care enough about him, was unsurprisingly met with a big eye roll from Princess Du, and a sarcastic retort: ​​"If you think I don't care enough about you, then go to Yiqiuyuan and find your good cousin. She cares about you a lot!"

This sentence made Prince Dingbei speechless. He could only smile and laugh: "Zhao'er is Jin's younger brother, just like our nephew. You can love him if you want. I was just joking with you, why are you still angry?"

Princess Du rolled her eyes at his self-justification and was too lazy to say anything more to him.

The couple had been arguing about his aunt and cousin from their youth to middle age, and she really didn't have the energy to argue with him anymore.

Just as Princess Du had said to Jin Chu a year ago, before the end of the first month of the lunar year, Aunt Wang indeed cried tearfully to Prince Dingbei several times about their past affections, and in the end the prince agreed to her not to go to the farm, and she stayed in the palace from then on.

Because of this reason, Prince Dingbei felt guilty, so when Princess Du ridiculed him just now, he could only smile and listen.

Fortunately, Aunt Wang, who stayed behind, was relatively well-behaved for the time being. Apart from paying respects to Hanzhang Courtyard or visiting Su Chenghe's Anhe Courtyard, she spent most of her time staying in her own Yiqiu Courtyard. Everything seemed normal.

As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, Princess Du will not do anything to her. Except for the necessary respects from the concubine to the mistress, she will not be allowed to appear in Hanzhang Courtyard at other times.

That evening, Jin Chu returned to Hanzhang Courtyard and met Su Chengan, whom he had not seen for more than half a month.

In the past, she would stay with Huanyan for a while before coming back to rest. Now that her husband is back, she naturally has to spend more time with him tonight.

So during dinner, Jin Chu briefly told Su Cheng'an about Huanyan's pregnancy, and said that she would go see her sister-in-law after dinner.

Su Cheng'an nodded in agreement, but a sour feeling welled up in his heart.

Ajin really cares about her sister-in-law, even more than she cares about her husband who has been away for more than half a month.

The two courtyards were adjacent to each other, so the news of the prince's return home naturally spread to Mancuixuan quickly.

When Jinchu went over, Huanyan teased her with a smile: "I heard that the prince is back, why are you still coming to my place?"

Jin Chu smiled generously and said, "Although I only see the prince once every two weeks, you are the one I care about most right now. I won't feel at ease if I don't come to see you."

"We see each other every day, and I have Mother Chu and Aunt Song here. My health is getting better day by day, so you don't have to worry. It's rare for the prince to come back, so you should spend some time with him. Don't disturb my spring sleep tomorrow. When the prince leaves the house, come to Man Cuixuan and chat with me about family matters."

After saying this, Huanyan instructed Mother Chu who was standing beside her, "Mom, don't go to Shaoguang Courtyard for the next two days. Let's live our own lives behind closed doors. Let the Crown Prince have the Crown Princess all to himself for a few days. Otherwise, even if the Crown Prince is a gentleman, he might not express it outwardly, but in his heart he might harbor resentment towards my unrefined uncle and sir, blaming me for not being able to read people's expressions and not knowing how to handle things. That would be terrible."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room laughed.

Mother Chu stood up and urged Jinchu with a smile: "Princess, what the madam said makes sense. It's rare for the madam to come back, so you should spend more time with him! The madam has us here, so you can rest assured."

Seeing that Huanyan was indeed fine, and thinking about how Su Cheng'an didn't stop her during dinner, but didn't smile either, Jin Chu no longer had the desire to stay any longer. So after giving her a few more instructions, he got up and returned to Shaoguang Courtyard.

When I pushed open the door and entered the bedroom, I saw a young man who was dressed in a casual robe and had just washed up. He was holding a book and leaning against the head of the bed. He seemed to be thinking about something troublesome, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"What happened? Why are you frowning like that?"

Jin Chu walked over, took the book from Su Cheng'an's hand, and gently placed it on the table not far away. Then he put his arms around the young man's shoulders from the side.

"It's hard to say in a few words."

Su Chengan let his wife hold him, turned around and asked her with a smile, "Why did Ajin come back so soon? How is my sister-in-law doing?"

"My mother is very considerate and has specially sent Mother Chu and Aunt Song to Man Cui Xuan to take care of my sister-in-law's food and daily life. She has been living quite well recently."

"Then you and I can both rest assured." Su Cheng'an raised the corners of his lips and reached out to hold Jin Chu's hands. His tone was filled with a hint of unconscious grievance. "It's been more than half a month since we last met. Ah Jin, do you miss me?"

"Why do you say that? I'm very happy to see you." Jin Chu widened his eyes in surprise.

"I see you're deeply attached to your sister-in-law. During dinner, all you could talk about was her. Even after dinner, without stopping to rest, you rushed to Man Cui Xuan to visit her. If you hadn't returned early, I would have almost thought you were so consumed with your sister-in-law that you'd even forgotten your own husband!"

Under the light, the young man's originally stern face unconsciously showed a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction because of the neglect of his sweetheart, as if the god who was high above and looking down on all living beings suddenly descended to the mortal world, was contaminated by the seven emotions and six desires of the world, and the whole person became lively.

Jin Chu loved his pure and unconscious look. All her tenderness surged up at that moment. She hugged him and kissed him fiercely: "Su Cheng'an, you are so seductive! I can't bear to leave such a charming husband behind!"

The loss of the whole night was comforted by this kiss and this word. The young man showed a sincere smile on his face and took the initiative to hug the girl: "Then your husband will seduce Ah Jin tonight."

Jin Chu quickly avoided his handsome face that was about to come close to her, "Wait a minute, I haven't washed up yet!"

"I don't mind Jin."

Su Cheng'an picked up Jin Chu and put her on the bed. He began to remove her clothes, muttering to himself, "Uncle is really brave. It's only been ten days since we got married, and you and I have already reaped the fruits of our labor. How enviable."

Is this even better?

Jin Chu was at a loss for words and was about to offer some words of comfort when Su Cheng'an said, "Fortunately, if we wait another six months, Ah Jin will be eighteen!"

"Yizhi, do you also want a child?" Jinchu, who was stripped down to only her small clothes, still asked without giving up.

"Ajin, people my age already have children, and even my uncle who got married later is about to become a father." Su Cheng'an couldn't hide his envy in his tone.

"How about we give birth too?" Jin Chu hesitated.

Just as Su Cheng'an said, he is almost 23 years old this year, and it is indeed time for him to have children.

"No need. I promised to wait until Jin turns 18 before getting pregnant. I will never break my promise to Jin!"

The young man held the soft jade in his arms, their skin pressed against each other, and he couldn't help but gasp in his voice, "Ajin, even if we have children in the future, you must treat me the best."

Jin Chu was stunned. It was already this late, and she was still jealous? And she was jealous of her own child, who didn't even exist?

Feeling the distraction of the person beneath him, the young man pressed on him unsatisfiedly, "Ajin, don't think about others."

Jin Chu only had time to say "hmm" before the young man dragged her into a fierce rain-beating dance.
