Chapter 70: Scheming Beauty vs. Dark Minister 029
“You are beautiful without decoration.”

Xie Huai'an put his hands close to her face, rubbed her waist, and then touched her face along her hair.

"Hatsuri, I love you."

The Dragon Boat Festival is finally here.

Hatsuri was going to put into practice today all that she had learned in the past few days. She had finally learned how to cook a few dishes.

Egg soup, tomato egg soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

After several days of intensive practice, these dishes finally received praise from the best knife chef in Kyoto.

That day, she got up early while the children were still sleeping soundly.

She got up before the chickens even woke up.

While Xie Huai'an was still sleeping soundly, she got up early and went to the kitchen.

After a while, a loud noise came from Xie Mansion.

Xie Huai'an thought something had happened.

I got up and checked and found that there was smoke coming from the kitchen.

I rushed over and saw Hatsuri with a dirty face rubbing something black.

Seeing Xie Huai'an appear in front of her, Chu Li wiped her face in shock, and even some black air came out when she spoke.

"Why did you wake up?"

Xie Huai'an was frightened by what he saw. He helped Chu Li brush off the dust on her body and couldn't help but smile: "What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"I want to make dough! But I can't make the dough well. It exploded when I put it in the pan."

Xie Huai'an shook his head helplessly, looked at his lovely young lady, pushed her out, and said, "Let me, your husband, do it."

Therefore, Xie Huai'an cooked the Dragon Boat Festival family dinner himself.

At this time, the sons and daughters were already babbling, and they just kept saying "ah ah ah" all day long, and no one knew what they were saying.

To be honest, Hatsuri has never taken care of the child since she gave birth, except for playing with her all day long.

Dragon Boat Festival night.

The whole family gathered together, eating the delicious food prepared by Xie Huai'an himself and drinking the fine wine stored in the cellar.

It was raining dragon boat rain in the yard outside.

The house is full of warmth.

But after the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie's mother's health began to deteriorate day by day. Because of the humid weather, her legs were very painful and it was inconvenient for her to walk.

After examining the case, the imperial physician shook his head and said that there was no cure.

Xie's mother was in a cheerful mood and said it was okay.

He sits in a wheelchair all day, playing with his three grandchildren.

Only Xie Huai'an and Chu Li went out for fun every day.

On this day, Hatsuri was called to the Imperial City Department, thinking that she was to come and see for herself some new weapon that had been developed.

Xie Huai'an looked mysterious, as if he was hiding something behind him that she couldn't find.

This caught Hatsuri's attention.

"What are you secretly preparing?"

Xie Huai'an slowly took out a knife from behind that had her name engraved on it.

This knife was also sharpened by Xie Huai'an himself.

He handed it to Hatsuri with a happy look on his face.

Chu Li was stunned. Like? When did she like this?
Did she let Xie Huai'an mislead her from the very beginning?
"This is your favorite weapon. I engraved your name on it as a token of our love for each other when we met."

Chu Li stood there in a daze, unable to move, before she managed to say, "When did I start to like this weapon?"

Xie Huai'an was confused by her words and asked: "That day when I rescued you, you just woke up in the mansion I bought. I put a knife to your neck, and then you said you also wanted to put a knife to my neck. I thought you really liked this..."

Hatsuri:?

Outrageous.

When did she show that she liked this thing...

Then, she took out the jade pendant that Xie Huai'an had given her from her pocket and smiled slowly: "This is our token of love. That day, you protected me from being bullied by Nanqing and her daughter. At that time, I looked at this jade pendant and wondered how our Lord Xie could be willing to give such a valuable item directly to me?"

Xie Huai'an suddenly recalled that time.

He couldn't get in or out of the prison without the jade pendant. So he lowered his head and smiled, helpless.

"In the blink of an eye, time flies so fast. I have been in Xiefu for such a long time."

Xie Huai'an hugged her tightly. He really enjoyed this kind of day, which was ordinary and did not need to be overly gorgeous.

At this moment, the wind suddenly blew, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers outside drifted in. The two people in the armory were being very affectionate and ambiguous.

For an instant.

Autumn of the twenty-third year of Chaodong.

The children are already in school, and the three of them are four years old. They have begun to assert themselves as the eldest.

The eldest son's name is: Xie Jia.

The second daughter's name is Xie Xin.

The youngest son’s name is: Thank you.

Such a sloppy and simple name.

Xie Xin has a sweet appearance, very much like her mother, but her personality is a bit eccentric, which often makes people unable to handle her.

The eldest son, Xie Jia, has inherited his father's good traditions. He is quiet and taciturn, and has the demeanor of a domineering president.

The younger son, Xie Xi, perfectly combines the shortcomings of both sons: he is incompetent and likes to make trouble, and he also likes to play with weapons, but he can't do it.

Hatsuri had a headache all day.

It was okay to ignore the child when he was young, but now that he has grown up, I can’t ignore him anymore.

One day, the youngest son climbed up a tree, and Chuli was so scared that she wanted to hit him with a stick. When she was about to climb up, her eldest daughter and son stopped her.

"Mother, you can't stop your brother's freedom! Just let him go to the sky and see! The tree is not that tall."

"Yes, mother, my brother will grow up eventually. Do you want to destroy his happiest childhood?"

Then they said in unison: "Mom! No!"

Hatsuri: ...

Then, seeing the youngest son's longing look, even Hatsuri curled her lips.

Still a child after all...

This tree is as tall as the crooked tree, and you can see a lot of loneliness.

It is not surprising that such days often occur in the Xie Mansion.

The person the three of them feared the most was Xie Huai'an.

As soon as Xie Huai'an came back, the three children would immediately pretend to be asleep. There was even one who couldn't sleep and was discovered so he had to just stand there pretending to be stupid.

Trying to muddle through.

Unexpectedly, Xie Huai'an grabbed him and spanked him.

Twenty-five years of Chaodong.

Xie's mother's health was getting worse and worse. She had been lying in bed for several months and still couldn't get up. The children felt very distressed when they saw their grandmother in this state after school.

Suddenly one day, she got up and made a bowl of noodles for Hatsuri, and then did all the housework and put all the clothes in order.

Also playing with three children.

Chu Li stood in the corridor and looked at Xie's mother's happy face, and her eyes were filled with sadness.

She knew that this was a last gasp.

The imperial physician said that there was no way to save the patient.

Chu Li has deep feelings for Xie's mother, but everyone is destined to die, and she can't stop it or change her fate.

She only hoped that Xie's mother would die happily without pain.

The illness had been tormenting her for several months.

In her last days, she hoped she would be happy.

One morning, the maid was preparing to help the old lady get up, but she found that there was no response for a long time.

I couldn't cry for a moment.

Xie's mother.

gone.
