The old steward hinted, "Then Duchess Zhen's wife …"
"When the time comes, we'll just find an excuse to leave." Jiujiu lowered her eyes. After a moment, she said, "It's just that, from what I see, she doesn't seem like someone who would give up easily. I'm afraid she won't be able to get anything good from me and will turn around to find my husband."
Hearing Jiujiu's worry, the old steward stood out to express his sincerity, "Madam, don't worry. Master has deep feelings for you. As long as Madam doesn't speak, Master won't change his mind."
The old steward was an old man left behind by Nie Lve's mother. His words carried the same weight as Nie Lve's.
After receiving the old steward's promise, Jiujiu smiled, "It's me who's thinking too much."
Jiujiu directly dropped this matter and didn't mention it again.
However, the old steward knew Lin Wanxin's annoying personality. At night, he told Nie Lve about this matter.
Nie Lve, who was writing, paused. He laughed, "It's really interesting.
When my mother passed away, I went to the Prince of Hengnan's estate to find Bai Xiwan once. At that time, their estate's guards said that I was already in decline and wasn't worthy of their family's young miss, so they drove me out. Now, I don't have a noble title, and I don't have a high official position. Instead, she wants to be my co-wife. It's really interesting. "
The old steward's expression was cold, "Then this subordinate …"
Nie Lve picked up the brush again and wrote a few lines on the scroll, "Since Madam has already said to let it go, then let it go this time. If Lin Wanxin dares to come again, then I'll see how magnanimous she is."
He wanted to see if she would be happy that her husband had promoted a co-wife to help her share the burden.
After Lin Wanxin went to find Jiujiu to talk about being a co-wife, she probably knew that Jiujiu wouldn't be willing, so she didn't look for Jiujiu again.
Jiujiu was also happy and at ease. She acted as if this matter didn't happen.
In the blink of an eye, the peach blossoms in the courtyard bloomed.
Jiujiu liked peach blossoms. These days, at noon, she would have people prepare a soft chair for her to read a book in the pavilion next to the peach blossom tree.
His love for peach blossoms was as clear as day.
After finishing his military affairs, Nie Lue left Nie Wei to the nanny and took Jiujiu to the peach blossom forest on the outskirts of the city.
Although the peach blossom trees in the courtyard were large and full of flowers, how could they compare to the hundreds of acres of peach blossom forest?
One peach blossom tree after another. Looking up, there was no end in sight. It was as if pink clouds had bloomed in front of his eyes. It was indescribably beautiful.
Seeing Jiujiu staring at it, Nie Lve couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. "Madam, do you like it?"
Jiujiu nodded. "I like it."
She turned to look at Nie Lve and asked, "Why did my husband bring me to see the peach blossoms?"
Nie Lve touched the tip of Jiujiu's nose and helped Jiujiu onto the horse. As he held the reins, he said, "I heard from the housekeeper that you like peach blossoms. I sent people to inquire about it for a long time before I found this place. If Madam likes it, I will bring Madam here to see the peach blossoms every year."
Jiujiu bent down and pressed her head against the horse's neck. She smiled like a flower. "My husband is really a blockhead."
Nie Lve looked puzzled. "How did your husband become a blockhead?"
"I like peach blossoms. When I look at peach blossoms at home, I look at the scenery. But when my husband brings me here, I look at the love." Jiujiu looked into Nie Lve's eyes and said with a smile, "For me, the fact that my husband is willing to spend so much effort on me makes me happier than seeing the peach blossom forest."
Only then did Nie Lve understand what Jiujiu meant. He smiled and said, "In that case, your husband is really a blockhead."
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Yes, my husband is not really a blockhead. But …"
Jiujiu dragged out the last syllable. "I like my husband's blockhead."
Jiujiu's mischievous appearance made her look like a cute little fox. Nie Lve was amused and laughed out loud. "I also like my wife's mischievousness."
Nie Lve flipped onto the horse and held the reins in his hand. He shouted, "Jia ~"
The horse suddenly rushed forward. Jiujiu's body was tightly pressed against Nie Lve's chest.
The heat from Nie Lve's chest muscles and skin seeped through the thin material of his clothes and almost burned Jiujiu's palms.
Jiujiu was not as shy as Nie Lve thought. Instead, she hugged Nie Lve's waist and buried her little head in Nie Lve's arms. She whispered, "My husband, slow down. I'm cold …"
After Nie Lve slowed down, he wrapped Jiujiu tightly with his cloak, only revealing her tender and beautiful little face.
Nie Lve urged the horse to gallop. After showing Jiujiu around the peach blossom forest, he brought Jiujiu to a side courtyard to eat a peach blossom banquet.
Although the taste of the peach blossom banquet was not as good as that of the chefs in the residence, it was better in terms of freshness. Especially the jar of peach blossom wine, it had a unique taste. Even Jiujiu could not help but drink a few more cups.
It made her already rosy cheeks even redder. It made her pair of watery eyes look very beautiful.
After the banquet, it was time to return to the residence.
After getting on the horse, Nie Lve wrapped Jiujiu tightly just like when he came. He urged the horse and asked, "What other flowers does my wife like?"
In the summer, he would bring Jiujiu to eat a banquet.
Nie Lve's method of pleasing her was simple and straightforward, but it was as hot as a ball of fire. Jiujiu was amused by Nie Lve's simple and straightforward words. She smiled and said, "I like to spend money and be as beautiful as a flower. Is that okay?"
Nie Lve choked on Jiujiu's words. Then he said, "Madam, you can spend as much money as you want in the residence. As for being as beautiful as a flower, Madam is as beautiful as a flower."
Nie Lve's words made Jiujiu laugh again.
When the two of them returned to the residence, Nie Wei was crying loudly because she could not see her mother.
No matter how the old steward, Lianxin, and the wet nurse tried to coax her, it was useless. She cried at the top of her lungs until her voice was a little hoarse.
When they saw Jiujiu return, everyone hurriedly invited Jiujiu over as if they had seen a life-saving straw.
The moment Nie Wei saw Jiujiu, she stopped crying immediately. Without needing Jiujiu to say anything, she had already started to ask the wet nurse for milk.
Just now, they had tortured her to death, but it was useless. In the end, she became obedient when she saw her own mother. Lianxin could not help but mutter, "Young Master only recognizes Madam."
Jiujiu looked at Nie Wei, who was happily drinking milk, and smiled. "If my son doesn't recognize me, who will he recognize?"
Lianxin nodded and said, "Young Master is only two months old and he has already started to recognize people. You can see that he is smart."
Jiujiu chuckled. "You have a glib tongue. You are all exhausted today. Later, go to the account room to get six taels of silver. Treat it as a treat for wine."
Everyone did not expect to be rewarded today. They immediately said, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."
After Nie Wei finished drinking milk, Jiujiu waved her hand and asked the others to leave. She held Nie Wei and connected with Nie Lve.
Although Nie Wei was only two months old and her cheeks were round because of the milk, she looked 60% similar to Nie Lve. The way the two of them looked at each other was very interesting. Jiujiu could not help but smile.
Every day, Nie Lve would wake up early and return late. He would take a look at Nie Wei before going to bed. This was the first time he saw Nie Wei wake up and he was pleasantly surprised.
