Chapter 419: Different Aura

When Han Qiao returned to her room, Heng Yi had already coaxed Ah-Yao to sleep.

A child who was tired from playing would not care about anything else once he fell asleep.

As he massaged Han Qiao’s feet, his hands became restless.

Han Qiao patted him.

“I’ll earn more money and repair the house earlier.” Heng Yi whispered.

Han Qiao knew what he meant.

Husband and wife had deep feelings for each other, so they naturally had needs for each other.

“Alright.”

Han Qiao said that they should build a house in this valley. There was a cave behind the one they were currently living in. She had discussed it with Granny Gu earlier and thought of a way to allocate it. When the time came, it would be the best place to build a house and store their things.

Heng Yi hugged his beloved wife, agreeing to whatever she said.

In any case, there was nothing bad about what Han Qiao said.

“The villagers said that they want to go hunting with you. I have some requests. You can choose someone tomorrow.”

“Alright,” Heng Yi nodded.

He was no longer the silent and sullen Heng Yi of the past.

He was the Marquis, the Great General, the husband of a wonderful wife, and a father.

He was also a capable person who knew how to win over people’s hearts and had thought about what path he would take in the future.

He was not ambitious. Whether it be against nobles, generals, or commoners, he just wanted to protect his beloved wife and children from being bullied.

“I want to build a bigger house and bring Xiu and the others over. It’s better to raise the children by our side.”

This was what Han Qiao wanted.

She also couldn’t bear to put her children in someone else’s territory.

She could give them pointers on whether they were good or bad.

She could teach the children she raised by her side more.

“Let’s get another carriage. It’ll be more convenient for you to travel. You can go to town for the fair.”

Han Qiao hummed weakly and fell asleep.

Heng Yi was reminded of the time when Han Qiao’s body was hurt after she gave birth to Ah-Yao, and how the effects still linger even after a year.

Not only that, they had to rush today and clean the house. She must be tired.

His heart ached and he kissed her forehead, “Goodnight.”

He tucked Ah-Yao in and fell into a deep sleep.

At dawn, the rooster began to crow.

Han Qiao yawned and got up. Her husband was no longer by her side.

A fierce noise came from outside the house.

Heng Yi was practicing his fist, and Zeng Qin’er was practicing her sword.

When Han Qiao went to the kitchen, Granny Gu had already boiled water.

“Ah-Qiao, what are we having for breakfast?”

“We’ll have a pot of porridge and two vegetable pancakes.”

Han Qiao took out all the eggs and shook them to see if they had gone bad.

Then, she put them in the pot to cook.

Two eggs per person.

Granny Gu’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t it too extravagant to eat something like this early in the morning?

She really did not dare to dream of having porridge and eggs for breakfast.

Han Qiao’s porridge was thick and the vegetable pancake was especially fragrant. Everyone could get a large heaping onto their bowl.

She took out the fermented bean curd that she had made, and Ah-Yao shouted happily.

He really liked to eat this, but his mother didn’t allow him to eat too much.

Normally, he wasn’t allowed to eat this.

While eating breakfast, Shun Zi’s eyes darted to Heng Yi and Zeng Qin’er from time to time. He also wanted to learn martial arts.

He hid by the door in the morning and watched them.

They had just finished breakfast when someone from the village came to visit them.

The few young men were embarrassed, and they all rushed to introduce themselves to Heng Yi.

Heng Yi nodded.

His aura instantly changed, “Do you know martial arts?”

The young men looked at each other and shook their heads.

They only had physical strength and nobody had ever taught them anything. How could they know something like martial arts?

“How strong are you? How many kilograms can you carry with one hand?”
