Chapter 703: Chapter 343 Enduring Affection_1

Qian Yixiu felt like crying but had no tears. She had always thought that since Uncle Liang grew up with the Old Monk, he represented a breath of fresh air among the nobility of Capital City, pure and virtuous, without the airs of entitled young masters, and his desires should not be too strong.

Only now did she realize that when things go to extremes, they can reverse course, and pent-up urges released are even more dreadful.

However, there was one benefit, which was that sleeping next to this red-hot charcoal basin was very warm, and she wouldn’t need Grandma Tang anymore. It seemed to be a bit of a blessing. Because the original owner of this body had been born too small and with a weak constitution, even when she became healthier, she was still susceptible to the cold. After getting chilled at Cave Sky Pool on a special day, she felt the cold even more.

In the darkness, the two of them talked. Suddenly, she remembered what he had said last night and asked, "You said yesterday evening that they talked about this and that. How come they have to discuss these matters? You men really have some nerve. I’m warning you, you must not talk about our business to others."

Liang Jinzhao chuckled, "I usually don’t talk about it, these are the things we talked about during the war. You don’t know, but during the war, we never knew if we would live to see another day, so my brothers in arms would talk about what they loved. And this sort of thing is what they enjoyed discussing the most, even my father-in-law would talk about my mother-in-law..."

Before he knew it, he had spoken too freely and realized his slip, so he promptly closed his mouth.

Even though it was hard to see clearly inside the mosquito net, Qian Yixiu turned to face him and said angrily, "Did my dad also talk about these things? What did he say about my mom?"

Liang Jinzhao just laughed it off, not daring to speak.

Qian Yixiu then turned over and lay back down, grumbling, "My dad really went too far. If my mom knew he was discussing these things, she would definitely be unhappy."

Liang Jinzhao hastily took her hand and said, "You mustn’t foolishly mention this to your mother-in-law. Your father took me as a brother back then, that’s why he shared those things with me. Later, when he found out I was to be his son-in-law, he didn’t want to interact with me anymore. I think he regrets talking about these things in front of me and feels embarrassed." He then sighed, "Talk about being innocent. It wasn’t like I forced him to tell me, yet he blames me."

Qian Yixiu laughed and said, "Who asked you to listen? Since you heard it, you are at fault."

Liang Jinzhao laughed and said, "Alright, next time they start talking about that, I’ll leave." Then he turned to embrace Qian Yixiu and asked, "How will my lady reward me?"

"I’m sleepy and am going to bed," Qian Yixiu said, turning away from him to use the back of her head against him.

The next day, after breakfast, Qian Yixiu and Liang Jinzhao received a gift list from the maid Autumn Moon from the main courtyard. It was for the gifts they were to bring back to her parental home.

Autumn Moon said, "The madam said that the Princely Heir and the main madam don’t have to visit the elderly to pay respects, just get ready and head straight back so your parents-in-law don’t worry about you."

Qian Yixiu bowed and smiled, "Please thank my mother-in-law for me."

The maid smiled and nodded her head. As she left, Zi Zhu came in with a purse for her.

Qian Yixiu glanced at the gift list and found it to be generous. Auntie Cui was indeed getting better at dealing with people, as her attitude towards her yesterday was quite good, and the welcoming gift she gave was also quite substantial.

After the pair got ready quickly, they took Monkey Brother, Monkey Sister, and the gifts to return to her parental home. Liang Jinzhao did not ride a horse but instead sat in the carriage with Qian Yixiu.

At the Qian family gate, Elder cousin Qian Yishan was waiting there with his younger brother Qian Yiming. Seeing Liang Jinzhao helping Qian Yixiu down from the carriage, they came forward to pay their respects.

Especially Mingming, who was very formal and proper.

After Liang Jinzhao returned their salutations, he said to Mingming with a smile, "What, you won’t let me hold you up high anymore?"

Mingming blushed slightly and said stiffly, "Brother-in-law, I am your little brother-in-law now, you can’t treat me like a little kid anymore."

Liang Jinzhao promptly straightened up and gave a formal bow again, saying, "Good day, Brother Ming."

Mingming nodded and turned back, then hugged Qian Yixiu’s leg, his eyes reddening as he said, "Sister, when you’re not home, nobody is used to it. Mother and Grandfather have both cried."

Qian Yixiu picked him up and kissed his little face, saying, "Sister misses you all, too."

Because Qian Sangui missed his granddaughter so much, he didn’t follow the rules of large families that men sit in the outer courtyard and women in the inner courtyard. Instead, he invited the guests to the main courtyard.

Today there were many guests; the first and second branches of the family, along with Qian Xiang, had not yet left. Not only did Qian Manxia’s family and the couple Qian Manting come, but also Old Master Pan with Uncle Pan Yang, Lady Fu and Yi Gege had come as well.

Men gathered in the main hall, women in the side rooms, making for a lively and noisy scene. Old Master Pan’s family and Mother and son Pan Yue, who preferred quiet, were having tea in the east wing.
