The head of the Mu family

Chapter 196 It feels so good to have someone backing you up.

On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Huai Sheng got up but did not go to the Marquis's residence. After having his meal, he went to his study.

I picked up a book and started reading it next to Qianyan.

After finishing processing a message sent by carrier pigeon, Qianyan looked up and smiled:

Why didn't you go to see the children today?

Huai Sheng put down his book, his eyes shining.

Because~

Today, my husband is the most important person~

"What? You miss me after just one hour?"

"Hehe~ I don't want to!"

Seeing this, Qianyan came over and pulled her onto her lap.

Huai Sheng hooked his arm around Qian Yan's neck, looked at her, and smiled as he said:

"I have something happy to tell you, today is my sweetheart's birthday!"

What's wrong? Did you forget because you were busy?

Happy birthday~

As he spoke, he bent down behind the wheelchair and took out a sword.

"A fine sword for a hero, how about this birthday gift? Is it to your liking?"

Qianyan held the sword and smiled helplessly.

What are you laughing at?

It really is a fine sword!

Although I don't understand, I asked Pingbo to find it for me.

Qianyan put the sword aside, put her arm around Huaisheng, and kissed her fair face.

"I can tell this is a fine sword, I really like it~"

But the birthday gift I want... others may not know, but you do...

"But, but I..."

Yes, or...

My dear wife~

Didn't we make up for it last year too?

In a little over a month, I should be able to put weight on my feet again.

Huai Sheng blushed and turned his face away.

Qianyan turned her face and kissed the full lips she had been longing for.

"Let's collect the interest first..."

The person in her arms was breathing rapidly, and Qianyan reluctantly left that soft embrace.

Huai Sheng felt something uncomfortable under his body and blushed deeply.

After taking a shower, Qianyan and the two of them found themselves in a rather ambiguous situation, something they hadn't done in a long time.

That evening, the two took a shower and lay in bed.

Huai Sheng lay in Qian Yan's arms, playing with his hands which had some calluses.

"I lied to you today, do you know that?"

He gently stroked her earlobe and cheek, then paused upon hearing her words, somewhat puzzled.

"Ok?"

Hehe~

That "I don't want to" I said at noon was a lie.

Upon hearing this, Qian Yan almost threw all reason out of her mind.

He bent down and carefully collected all the interest he could from Huai Sheng's body.

After entering July, Huaisheng was gradually able to walk on his feet.

After Huaisheng was able to get out of bed, he brought the two children back.

On the day her feet could touch the ground, Qianyan's eyes shone so brightly that Huaisheng was a little shy.

That raw, unbridled eagerness was practically overflowing from their eyes!

After lunch, I hurriedly finished dealing with the matter.

He gave Qingyue and her husband a wink, and soon Huaisheng had nothing to do.

Qingyue gave everyone a wink, then took the child away, and everyone went about their own business.

Huaisheng then leisurely began studying acupuncture, with Qianyan sitting beside her.

Huai Sheng suddenly felt someone staring at him, and when he turned around, his face turned red.

This guy's eyes are so blatant!

Subconsciously, Huai Sheng was about to turn around, but Qian Yan wouldn't allow it.

He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom, where the tub was already filled with water.

Qianyan carried the person, still dressed, into the bathtub.

The thin gauze shirt, soaked with water, clung semi-transparently to her shapely body.

Her hair was dripping with water, sticking to her lips, neck, and chest.

His words were so hasty and impatient, like a wolf that hasn't tasted meat for three months.

Despite being married for many years, Huai Sheng was finding it hard to cope.

When the two came out of the shower room, there was only a little more water left in the bucket.

The two went to the greenhouse to dry their hair and didn't eat dinner.

With her hair just dry, Qianyan embraced him and they became intimate.

"A brief remark... um... um..."

No, um...

Use, um...

Dinner, hmm...?

"I only want to use my wife..."

I've been thinking about it day and night, I'm about to go crazy!

There was no need for dinner either.

It wasn't until midnight, out of consideration for Huai Sheng's health, that they finally stopped.

I felt that my words were not enough, but I knew that in the long run, Huaisheng's health was the most important thing.

I went to the small kitchen and got some warmed bird's nest for Huaisheng, mixed it with some milk, and gave it to him.

Every night thereafter, I went back to my room early and tried to recover the principal from the previous days.

If it weren't for the fact that Huai Sheng had just recovered from a serious illness, I would have locked her in bed.

One of the couple handles business, while the other takes care of the children.

Huai Sheng went to the palace as usual to collect his monthly allowance. After he arrived, he went to check on the health of the Emperor and Empress Dowager.

When she returned, the Blue Medicine God noticed that something was wrong with her body and glanced at Huai Sheng sideways.

"Put out your hand, let me take your pulse."

"I've changed my nickname, I won't hide it from you~"

I told Uncle Li to go back first and tell your brother-in-law that I'd be having dinner at your house.

The carriage swayed and rattled until it arrived at the Lan residence, where Madam Lan happily took Qianyan's hand.

"It's been quite a while since you last visited. My husband has been busy too. I said I'd go looking for you last time, but I couldn't find you."

Blue Medicine God, with a serious expression, dismissed everyone and had the child taken away.

"Speak! Tell me everything, or I'll take your pulse!"

Madam Lan was surprised that her husband, who was rarely so serious, seemed to know that something important must have happened.

He ordered his wet nurse and personal maid to stand guard at the door.

Huaisheng then recounted his experiences on his journey to the west, briefly mentioning the difficult parts and focusing only on how he escaped.

Madam Lan was so shocked and upset that she couldn't stop crying, but Huai Sheng came to comfort her.

Blue Medicine God silently suppressed his tears, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins in his hands bulged.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad, I'm all better now."

Madam Lan pulled Huaisheng into her arms and held him tightly.

"Good Huaisheng, it's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"

Are there any lingering foot ailments?

Let your husband take your pulse; that way we'll feel at ease.

By the way, what if the couple argues about this in the future?

You must not wrong yourself; you still have us.

"The Lan family, putting aside everything else, could easily support you and your child for ten lifetimes!"

"Sister-in-law..."

Huai Sheng's eyes stung with tears; his tough exterior, built up over the past few days, had crumbled completely.

So this is what it feels like to have someone to rely on when you encounter something really big!

Still not entirely reassured, the Blue Medicine God took the patient's pulse.

He couldn't utter a single word; he just wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

"Brother Lan, sister-in-law..."

I'm hungry~

"It's my fault, it was my oversight. Let's eat, let's eat."

Madam Lan released Huai Sheng and stopped crying.

At the dinner table, the couple kept putting food on Huaisheng's plate, while Lanpei, Lanhui, and Lanyin looked completely bewildered.

"Why are Aunt Huaisheng and your parents' eyes all red?"

Xiao Lan asked, tilting her head as she ate.

Lan Pei was over ten years old. Seeing that the adults' eyes clearly showed they had been crying, he put some food on Lan Yin's plate.

"Auntie and Mom just got sand in their eyes, you eat yours~"

After the meal, the gatekeeper came to report:

"Young Master Cui has arrived!"

The Lan couple saw the person to the door, and Madam Lan held Huaisheng's hand and stroked it.

"From now on, no matter how big or small the matter is, you're not allowed to hide it from us!"

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, you can go back now."

"Cui Qianyan, take good care of Huaisheng!"

"Understood, Brother Lan~"

"Brother and sister-in-law, we'll head back now."

After that, Madam Lan and the Medicine God Lan would come often, or frequently call Huai Sheng to come.

Life went on so peacefully, a truly idyllic existence.
