Jiujiu chuckled and stuffed Nie Wei into Nie Lve's arms. She smiled, "This concubine will go wash up. Lord, take a good look at Wei 'er."
This was the second time Nie Lve held Nie Wei after Nie Wei was born.
When Nie Wei was born, she was soft like a mollusk. Although she had put on some weight now, her body was still exceptionally soft, like a small ball made of meat.
Holding a meatball, Nie Lve did not know where to put his hands and feet.
Because he was afraid that he would hurt Nie Wei if he put her down, Nie Lve could only sit there stiffly and stare blankly at Nie Wei.
Due to the nature of father and son, when Nie Wei was held in Nie Lve's arms, Nie Wei revealed a toothless smile to Nie Lve. Nie Lve's heart became exceptionally soft.
Nie Lve imitated Jiujiu and lowered his head to kiss Nie Wei's cheek.
However, Jiujiu's face was soft and tender, while Nie Lve's face was full of stubble. Nie Wei immediately pursed her lips and revealed an expression of wanting to cry. She looked aggrieved, as if she could make a sound as soon as she opened her mouth.
If his wife saw him making her son cry, she would definitely be unhappy.
Nie Lve hurriedly imitated the servant girl and shook her up and down. His mouth kept making 'oh oh oh' sounds.
After hearing her mother's teasing, Nie Wei, who was about to cry just now, clapped her little chubby hands and revealed a brilliant toothless smile.
She was really an easy child to coax.
When Jiujiu returned, she saw Nie Lve and Nie Wei playing very happily.
Nie Lve found the child's cuteness for the first time. He blamed himself for neglecting his wife and son because he was busy with official business.
Seeing Jiujiu come in, Nie Lve felt even more guilty.
Receiving Nie Wei's eager little eyes and Nie Lve's guilt-filled eyes, Jiujiu was very puzzled, "Husband, why are you looking at me like this?"
Nie Lve sighed, "I was busy with the court and neglected my wife and child. I feel guilty."
Jiujiu didn't expect that when she asked Nie Lue to take care of Nie Wei while she was washing up, he would reflect on himself and come to this conclusion. It was really a surprise.
"Since ancient times, a woman's duty has always been to take care of her husband and raise her children. My husband is fighting in the imperial court while I take care of the family. What wrong has my husband done?"
"The person who said this must be a man." Nie Lve looked at Jiujiu and said, "My mother is a standard woman who only knows how to take care of her husband and children. However, my father oppressed her because of her meekness and made her become what he liked. She became meek, well-behaved, and obedient. She even hurt herself to satisfy my father."
Nie Lve touched the top of Jiujiu's head. "A woman should be as happy and carefree as Madam. If Madam is like my mother, she will lose her original happiness."
Jiujiu had not imagined that Nie Lve would say such words. Hugging Nie Lve's waist, she put her head on Nie Lve's chest and rubbed her head against Nie Lve's chest like a cat, "Hubby, you're so nice."
It was no wonder that Bai Xiwan wanted to have such a good man.
After Lin Wanxin was beaten by Jiujiu, she did not dare to help Jiujiu persuade her. Therefore, Bai Xiwan personally sent an invitation to Jiujiu and persuaded her.
When Jiujiu saw the invitation, she thought that it was sent by mistake. However, after seeing her name, she asked Lianxin, "What did the lady who sent the invitation say?"
"She said that she is an old friend of Old Madam and specially invited Madam to the mansion for a chat."
"Since she is an old friend of Mother, of course I will go and visit her."
Of course, she had to tell Nie Lve that she was going to Duke Hengnan's Mansion.
There was no reason for her to fight alone when his childhood sweetheart came to find her.
At night, when Nie Lve returned to the room, he saw Lianxin helping Jiujiu take out her hair.
Nie Lve took the initiative to walk behind Jiujiu and took over Lianxin's work.
Seeing that it was Nie Lve, Lianxin bowed and left.
Seeing that it was Nie Lve from the bronze mirror, Jiujiu said angrily, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me that you are coming back?"
"I was busy today and was afraid that I would come back late, so I didn't send someone to tell you." After explaining, Nie Lve asked with a smile, "Madam, did anything interesting happen today?"
"There isn't anything interesting, but there is a coincidence." Jiujiu picked up the horn comb and combed the knotted part of her hair. "Today, I received an invitation from Duke Hengnan's Mansion. It said that it was an old friend of Mother and invited me to the mansion for a chat. Do you think I should go or not?"
"Duke Hengnan's Mansion?"
After Lin Wanxin came last time, she did not do anything. He thought that Duke Hengnan's Mansion had stopped, but he did not expect that they would have their eyes on Jiujiu.
Nie Lve stroked Jiujiu's hair that was as smooth as satin. "Speaking of which, they are indeed old friends. However, after Mother passed away, we did not contact each other. Moreover …"
Nie Lve deliberately paused and said under Jiujiu's curious gaze, "Mother wanted to arrange a marriage between me and the legitimate daughter of Duke Hengnan's Mansion. I'm afraid that it would be inappropriate for Madam to go.
However, if Madam wants to go, you can. However, no matter what Duke Hengnan's Mansion says, Madam must not agree. "
Nie Lve actually revealed the matter between him and Bai Xiwan. He was rather honest.
Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry, Husband. I understand this point."
Three days later.
Jiujiu brought Lianxin to Duke Hengnan's Mansion.
As soon as they arrived at the mansion, Jiujiu was welcomed to the backyard.
Duchess Consort Hengnan welcomed them with a smile. She held Jiujiu's arm and smiled lovingly. "Jiuniang, can I call you this? Jiuniang. "
Jiujiu followed Duchess Consort Hengnan's intention and sat next to her. She nodded obediently.
Feeling Jiujiu's gentleness, Duchess Consort Hengnan's gaze became increasingly gentle, as if she was looking at a junior she liked. "Good Miss, are you and Xiaolue well?"
"Replying Duchess, Husband and I are very well."
Duchess Consort Hengnan asked with a fervent expression, "Then has Xiaolue ever mentioned me to you?"
Jiujiu slowly shook her head. "Never."
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Duchess Consort Hengnan revealed a disappointed expression and smiled bitterly. "That child is blaming me. When his mother passed away, I didn't care about him."
"That year, it happened so suddenly and I wasn't in the capital. By the time I found out, his mother had already been buried. I just happened to be seriously ill and couldn't take care of myself, so I didn't go to visit him. When I went again, the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion had such an unforeseen event. I wanted to go, but I was afraid that someone would make an issue out of it, so I could only harden my heart and not go see him. Good Miss, can you understand my difficulties?"
Duchess Consort Hengnan's explanation sounded flawless, but every word was full of flaws.
If she was truly concerned, even if she couldn't see him on the surface, she could still go take a look behind his back. In the end, she just didn't have the heart.
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Every family has its own difficulties. This concubine understands Duchess's concerns."
Duchess Consort Hengnan smiled faintly. "It's Xiaolue's fortune to be able to marry you."
"This concubine is afraid. It's my fortune to be able to meet Husband."
