CHAPTER 1414: CHAPTER 1498: LET’S HAVE A FEW MORE IN THE FUTURE

Dong Huiying snuggled into Yixuan’s arms, knowing that he was feeling sorry for her.

Yixuan came later and doesn’t know, after the previous training, although her body isn’t as good as before, it’s much better now, not as frail as it seems.

"I remembered the fruit wine buried on the hilltop, it’s been buried for so long, it should be drinkable now, and it must be better than before. Although I no longer possess the Innate Divine Strength, look at you all, you carry Inner Strength, and aren’t far off from my level back then."

Among the Liang family brothers, Yixuan is the most scholarly, appearing weak but is actually well-built. They’ve all consumed some of the fruit, and these fruits have fermented over time, gradually transforming into deep Inner Strength. Otherwise, how could they dare to travel solo from all directions to the capital without some skill to rely upon?

After all, the world is not peaceful; internal and external troubles have continued for many years. Externally, there are the barbarian soldiers from The Outside and the Jin Army’s invasion, internally, bandits run rampant. It is heard that some places can no longer bear the increasingly heavy taxes imposed by the Imperial Court, leading to a dire plight for the people, who are on the brink of being forced to the road of death.

Yixuan adjusted the rabbit fur cloak draped over his wife’s shoulders: "Once this matter is settled, let’s go to that hilltop to retrieve the fruit wine. A lot was brewed back then, and your physique needs to be improved." Otherwise, Third Brother and Fourth Brother are too indiscreet, not to mention himself, Elder Brother, Second Brother, and Fifth Brother... if it doesn’t go well, who knows how much his wife might suffer in the future.

"Sure~" she responded softly, and then asked, "Is Yue Ning about to give birth?"

"The Doctor said it would be in February or March, it’s not time yet. He’s so anxious at the villa that he’s almost clawing the walls," Yixuan showed an amused expression. He recalled receiving notification from Yun Ge, sent by Prince Meng, about coming to the capital. When Fifth Brother learned about his wife’s news, he originally wanted to come too. But he’s pregnant, the months are big, and he couldn’t withstand the long journey and travel fatigue, so Yixuan left him in Dongdi.

When he left, Fifth Brother’s look of resentment appeared as if he would cry. Somehow, since his wife left, Fifth Brother has seemed more and more emotional. Hearing from their grandmother, it might be due to the pregnancy, but when he carried Wu Wang, he didn’t react as dramatically.

Dong Huiying toyed with Yixuan’s fingers nonchalantly, "In the future... let’s have a few more (children)."

Yixuan was startled and then responded, "Alright." As long as it’s what she wants, he would provide it. He had been such a fool, leaving her for so long, and thankfully she didn’t hold it against him, otherwise...

He knew she was certainly feeling regretful; when he had Wu Wang, she couldn’t be by his side. And now with Fifth Brother’s pregnancy, they don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet, and she can’t be by Fifth Brother’s side; this regret can only be made up for in the future.

"Be happier, hmm?" He gently lifted his wife’s chin, not wanting to see her in such a melancholy state.

Hearing the words, her energy quickly returned, a radiant and cheerful smile spread across her face: "Come, let’s go to the cloth store across the street, I heard the fabrics there are exceptional. Shujun also has a fabric business, let’s go scout out the competition!"

Her playful demeanor made Yixuan chuckle, but he went along with her, after all, regardless of anything, as long as she’s happy being around him and his brothers, that’s all that matters.

But upon entering the cloth store, they encountered an unexpected man.
