Han Qiao patted her hand, “I was just thinking that you’re still a young lady and should be more lively and cheerful.”
“I’m very happy every day. There’s no need to worry about me, Madam. Father is on the right path, Grandfather and Grandmother’s health has also improved, and Bao’er is studying and practicing martial arts with the Eldest Young Master. As long as he did not court death, his future would not be bad.” Zeng Qin’er’s eyes sparkled without any worry.
Her family was properly arranged, and she could go and earn her own future.
In the past, she had thought that it would be enough to take good care of the family, raise her brother, and send off her grandparents. Later, when she was by Madam’s side, her horizons had broadened a little. Only then did she understand that after the family had settled down, she should live for herself.
Girls could also have their own dreams and futures.
Instead of surrounding the small piece of land in the back of the house.
Han Qiao patted her head, “Good luck.”
“Yes!”
The two children were the happiest along the way.
There were also the 1,000 citizens who had been given good names.
The women rode in carriages, donkey carts, and mule carts, while the men walked. They had to push wooden carts loaded with their belongings and rations. These were all prepared by the Marchioness.
Some women were willing to get off the carriage to help their husbands. Although they didn’t have any feelings for each other before, they were going to live together in the future, so they had to cultivate their feelings.
Compared to being casually betrothed to a manservant or a slave, becoming a good wife was like a pie falling from the sky.
The Marchioness had also said that when they had children in the future, they would be able to study at a private school for free, learn how to read, and practice martial arts. If they did well, they would be able to take the imperial examinations. Ordinary children could also work in shops or go to the military camp.
Although their pockets were still empty, they were good citizens now and could see hope for the future.
After walking for eight or nine days at a moderate pace, they finally arrived at Sanzhou Town on the first day of the ninth month.
At first, the two children, Ah-Yao and He Cheng, were still in high spirits, but after staying in the carriage for nine days, they were a little tired.
Fortunately, the two children had strong adaptability and were sensible and obedient. They could even pass the time by playing together. They could even catch a frog and play with it for half a day.
Tomorrow was Ah-Yao’s first birthday, and Han Qiao and Heng Yi wanted to celebrate it for him. They didn’t need to make it grand, at least they had to have a table full of food.
Sanzhou Town was even better than Han Qiao had imagined. The design was even more comfortable and luxurious. Even decades later, there were wide streets, bright and spacious shops, two floors above and below, a small courtyard at the back, and every household had a well and a ditch to pour dirty water.
Every household had a toilet, but there was a huge manure tank and a bathroom for bathing.
“Those ten shops over there are reserved for you.” Heng Yi pointed at the ten spacious shops.
Han Qiao could tell that these ten shops were different from the others.
Their home in Sanzhou Town was just beside the road.
It was just behind the shop. It was close to the shop in front and also close to the nearby houses.
“This residence is well built.”
Han Qiao walked beside Heng Yi, with two children on each of his shoulders.
Ah-Yao and He Cheng were very excited. They were finally home.
“Those commoners?” Han Qiao asked worriedly.
“Qin Song and the others will make arrangements. The commoners will live on the other side in the house at the back.”
Each family had three rooms and a kitchen. It was not a problem for the whole family to live in.
Later on, when they had money, they could also rebuild it.
On the door hung a horizontal board with the words ‘Marquis of Wanning’. Heng Yi stretched out his hand towards Han Qiao, “Sister Ah-Qiao, we’re home.”
Han Qiao laughed. The more serious he was, the more likely Heng Yi would call her Sister Ah-Qiao.
This person was very coquettish.
Just as they were about to enter, a young girl dressed in crimson walked out.
“Marquis, you’ve returned!”
The woman bowed to Heng Yi as if she didn’t see Han Qiao.
Heng Yi didn’t recognize her at all.
Without even looking at her, he walked past her and held Han Qiao’s hand as they entered.
Han Qiao looked at her and smiled.
She said to the decorations in the courtyard. “I don’t like any of these.”
Han Qiao took a sip of tea and said in disdain, “I’m not used to drinking tea leaves either. Bai Cha.”
“Sister-in-law.”
“Tomorrow will be Ah-Yao’s first birthday. Go to the kitchen and arrange a few tables for this occasion. Arrange who you want to invite and let Dong Lai help you.”
“Yes.” Bai Cha quickly responded.
The woman in red wanted to say something several times, but Han Qiao didn’t give her the chance.
“Marquis, take me to the main courtyard to take a look. Also, arrange everything properly for us and the two children.”
“Alright,” Heng Yi called the two children who were running around and held one in each hand.
Han Qiao followed behind him.
As her husband left, she glanced at the woman in red.
Han Qiao didn’t bring many people this time. There were only about ten of them, but they were all her confidants and were loyal to her.
Jianing and Zeng Qin’er had both killed before, so their gazes were cold.
Jianing also glanced at the red-robed woman, as well as the maids and old women behind her.
She laughed in her heart, ‘How pitiful.’
Did she really think that she could fly to the top just because she seduced the Marquis? They didn’t even think about how their Marquis was wrapped around the Marchioness’ finger..
