Chapter 1351: Extra Four About Having Children_2
Mo Yan glanced at her husband upon hearing that and saw that it was indeed quite discordant for a big man like him to be sitting among a group of women, so she found an excuse and said, "Why don’t you take a stroll in the back mountain? Zhao Mu and the others should be free around this time. You can help me ask them when they plan to start their journey back home."
As for the arrangement to send retired soldiers home to visit their families, Xiao Ruiyuan was naturally aware, but since these matters had already been arranged, he suspected that his new wife was simply finding an excuse to send him away and, therefore, was not dissatisfied. Being in this situation was indeed awkward for him, and going out for a walk seemed far better, so he stood up and said, "You all continue chatting, I will go find Zhao Mu."
Cui Qingrou quickly said, "It’s windy on the mountain, so wear more clothes. If you didn’t bring any, your father-in-law still has two garments that would fit you. I will have someone fetch them for you right away." As she spoke, she instructed Lvzhi to get a newly made mink coat.
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Xiao Ruiyuan did not reject Cui Qingrou’s kindness, took the coat Lvzhi brought over to wear, nodded to the mother and daughters, and then left.
Having sent her son-in-law away, Cui Qingrou then found excuses to send her two younger daughters away and also dismissed the maids serving in the room.
Mo Yan, feeling somewhat anxious, waited until only her mother and she were left in the room, she couldn’t help asking, "Mother, do you have something to talk to your daughter about alone?"
Looking at her daughter’s nervous face, Cui Qingrou laughed lightly and said, "Don’t worry, I just want to ask how you’re doing in the General Mansion, and whether you’re unaccustomed to anything regarding food and accommodation."
Mo Yan let out a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and said, "I’m quite accustomed to it. There are no elders in the General Mansion, and the household affairs are simple, just as comfortable as being at home!"
