Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 522: Tianxing Pavilion, Awaiting Good News!

Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Tianxing Pavilion, Awaiting Good News!

"Ya, ya..."

In Long Yue’s home, the floor was covered with exquisite floral stones and white jade, looking shining and magnificent.

Xiao Rui’er was struggling desperately in the nurse’s arms, trying to break free. He was shouting "ya, ya, ya" while reaching out toward the void as if trying to grasp something.

After finishing the discussion about the drought with Li Qingmu, Long Yue returned to the room and saw this heartwarming scene, which made them exchange a warm smile.

Especially Li Qingmu, who was usually tied up with court affairs, leaving him little time to spend with this son.

Looking at his son’s innocent and adorable appearance, his heart also felt warm, and he couldn’t help but step forward and hold him.

This little fellow was really lively; at just over two months old, instead of simply lying in the cradle waiting for care, he was already trying to break free from the adults’ arms, eager to explore.

To speak the truth, with those tiny arms and legs, can you really do it?

Once you hit the ground, your slender neck might not withstand the weight of your body, right?

Li Qingmu pinched his son’s chubby little face: "Boy, daddy is going on a long journey, you must behave and not cause trouble for your mother. When daddy returns, if I find out you’ve bullied your mother, hmm hmm..."

Saying this, he couldn’t help but pinch his son’s little face again.

"Ya, ya..."

The little guy didn’t like having his face pinched at all. He struggled hard and even opened his mouth to bite Li Qingmu.

This little rascal was really out of control; he’ll surely be a rebellious child in the future.

Li Qingmu was quite upset.

Seeing the father and son laughing and chatting, Long Yue’s heart softened completely, her eyes curving with love.

Two days later, Li Qingmu set off with a group of officials for Kaiyang, and Long Yue accompanied him to the city gate.

"The weather is getting cold again, remember to take good care of yourself."

She handed him a package, which contained clothes she had made off and on over the years.

This man might have lived a hard life in the past, so he was always frugal, wearing just a few pieces over and over, and these clothes were extra, which now could be taken along.

Li Qingmu carefully took the package, knowing it was filled with his wife’s love and should not be damaged.

"There are also three pairs of boots here. When going out, you always have to walk back and forth. The soles wear out easily, so be sure to change them when they are worn out, unlike before, understand?"

As she said this, Long Yue recalled that when she married him, the shoes he wore were worn out with many patches, and she couldn’t help but feel her eyes sting.

If one truly cares about someone, they can’t bear to let them suffer even a bit, or else it breaks their heart, just like Long Yue felt now.

This scene of sweet marital affection made the accompanying officials envious.

Because Li Qingmu held such a high position, the unfortunate Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Yongquan, was also sent away. Upon witnessing this scene, he couldn’t help but sigh, "Mr. Li has such a virtuous wife, it’s truly enviable!"

How could one not be envious?

In many of their homes, there are several wives and concubines, with constant infighting. Plus, traveling for work is common, and it’s rare for someone to come to see them off.

"Mr. Cui, my husband is young and may get impulsive and aggressive. Please take care of him along the way."

Long Yue paid her respects to Cui Yongquan.

He was from the Third Prince’s faction, and Chang Lexi and Cao Xiao were so close that they were almost talking about marriage. Therefore, the Third Prince and Li Qingmu got along better than before.

Cui Yongquan, with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Li, you jest. Mr. Li is intelligent and wise, and this journey will likely depend on him. In any case, mutual support is key!"

After exchanging polite words, they left.

Watching them grow further and further away, Long Yue felt an inexplicable strangeness in her heart, yet couldn’t pinpoint why.

"Madam, it’s chilly outside, perhaps it’s time to head back?"

Ning Xiang went home to visit family, but Long Yue couldn’t be left without attendants, especially when Li Qingmu was temporarily assigned outside for work.

Thus, she brought one of the maids she had previously bought from the servant agencies to serve her personally.

These maids were orphans, taken in and trained by human traffickers, diligent in their work and considered smart.

The one here now was called Hongtang, a very interesting name, a sixteen-year-old girl, two and a half years younger than Long Yue, simple-minded, the most naive among the maids.

Such a person she felt at ease using.

"Let’s go!"

Long Yue took one last look at the direction Li Qingmu and his entourage disappeared to, then got on a carriage to return home.

Just after she left, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared at the city gate, accompanied by an older woman.

The woman glanced at the person in black and said indifferently, "My mistress said that now, while they are apart, is the best time to act; you won’t find a better opportunity again!"

"Don’t worry, ma’am, this time, it’s destined to be their last meeting. Next time, heh, heh, they’ll be in the underworld!"

The person in black let out a sharp, cold laugh, assuring.

The woman snorted lightly, "Didn’t you say the same thing before, only to fail every time? This time, give me the details, what’s the plan to deal with him?"

"Previously, the death soldiers were trained by us; they were skilled but not top-notch. This time, my master has hired experts from Tianxing Pavilion, guaranteed success!"

"Tianxing Pavilion? You’ve even connected with Jianghu forces?" The woman’s pupils shrank sharply, a face full of surprise, but soon her eyes sparkled with joy, "Good, good, then we await the good news!"

...

When Long Yue returned home, it was already noon. She first fed the child and then had lunch. Just as she was about to take a nap, someone from the palace arrived.

They were from Lixiu Palace, meaning Consort Li was inviting her.

"The consort expressed a desire to see the young master and requests that the madam bring him along."

The visiting nanny spoke politely, showing respect for Long Yue.

Long Yue had met this nanny before, knowing she was a trusted aide of Consort Li, so she nodded in agreement.

"Ah, ah..."

The little guy was very lively. Long Yue took the child from the nurse, and he was still wriggling about, full of vitality.

The nanny couldn’t help but admire, "Your young master is truly spirited. Back then, His Highness was much quieter."

When she said this, there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes. Qi Junlian had been injured in the womb and was born with deficiencies, making him frail and prone to illness from a young age.

So her words carried an air of envy.

Recalling how her husband and she were exhausted night and day by the child, Long Yue felt a bit resentful at first, but hearing this instead made her heart swell with happiness.

This meant her child was strong and healthy!

What parent in this world doesn’t wish their child to be healthy with a good appetite?

Long Yue smiled warmly, expressed her gratitude, and followed the nanny into the Imperial Palace.

The palace walls were deep, and after many turns, they finally reached Consort Li’s Lixiu Palace, only to be surprised to find that Emperor Qi Yun was also there.

Long Yue immediately realized that Qi Yun wanted to see Xiao Rui’er!

This Emperor took great pains to get a glimpse of his little grandson.
