Chapter 361: A Stranger From My Old Home

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the two children were almost done playing, Han Qiao said, “Hurry and wipe yourself. Eat something. I’m going to tell a story.”

Hearing this, He Cheng and Ah-Yao immediately stopped playing and obediently went to wash their faces and wipe their hands. They changed out of their sweaty clothes and sat on the small stool to eat the white fungus soup.

It was a little sweet, and the children liked it very much.

He Cheng took the spoon and ate it himself while Pucao fed Ah-Yao.

He ate it happily.

Han Qiao turned to Pucao, “Pucao.”

“Madam.”

“Have you decided when you and Dong Lai will get married?”

Pucao’s face turned red, “I’ll listen to Madam’s plans.”

“Alright, 1’11 get someone to pick a good day tomorrow. When the time comes, 1’11 set up a few tables for you and prepare a dowry for you.”

Pucao had done her best to take care of Ah-Yao these days. She should be rewarded.

Pucao nodded obediently.

Dong Lai was now learning how to manage a household from Housekeeper Liu. He was also running errands outside the house, and there was no need to talk about his future.

Pucao was only a maidservant, and thankfully she had saved a great amount of money every month.

Dong Lai was sold when he was very young, so he didn’t remember where his home was.

Pucao remembered that she had asked someone to send some food and silver back to her home. It could be considered as a gratitude for raising her. When she had her own small family in the future, it would always be a place where she could return to.

The two children had to rinse their mouths after eating.

They stopped making noise on the bed and lay down obediently, waiting for Han Qiao to tell them a story.

Han Qiao leaned against the two children and fanned them with a fan as she continued to tell the story of Sun Wukong.

It was just a beautified story, but just this alone made the two children listen with relish.

Heng Yi kissed her forehead.

“Good night.”

In the middle of the night, Ah-Yao sat up.

The child had just opened his mouth and Heng Yi had already reached out and pulled him into his arms.

“Father…”

“Yeah, shh.”

Ah-Yao had a basin to pee in. After he peed, he whimpered and went to look for Han Qiao, then fell asleep in her arms.

After a while, he mumbled, “Hot.”

He was mumbling that it was hot yet still wanted to stick close to his mother. The child was sleeping soundly like a little pig.

As soon as he spoke, Heng Yi picked up a fan and started fanning them. He was willing and his heart filled with tenderness and happiness.

When Han Qiao woke up in the morning, Heng Yi had already left.

Breakfast was delivered to the main courtyard. Han Qiao asked, “Have the Eldest Young Master and his wife gone out?”

“He went out with four guards.”

Han Qiao was relieved.

After breakfast, Ah-Yao had someone to look after him, so she prepared the dowry for Pucao.

She wanted to give the husband and wife a small courtyard at the back of the house. She also needed to prepare some silver, cloth, jewelry, silverware, and a basin to wash up…

“Pucao, Pucao, Madam is busy in the storeroom. Is she preparing a dowry for you?”

Pucao was stunned for a moment before nodding slightly.

Her heart was filled to the brim.

She had once wanted the attention and love of her family, and now, Madam had given it to her.

“Madam, Madam, there’s someone at the door.. He said that he’s from Puyi

County…”
