Wishful Things

While Xu was speaking, she sat down in the chair.

Not long after, Wu Chao walked into the hall and raised his hand in salute.

"Mother."

Mrs. Xu nodded and asked with a smile, "Why hasn't the hour stopped yet?"

Perhaps because she experienced too much disappointment from her incomprehensible husband, Xu didn't even have any expectations for her son.

Therefore, when seeing the young man's empty hands, Xu's heart didn't feel any ups and downs, but instead had a numb feeling of "hehe, that's true".

"I heard that my mother sent away the wives of each mansion, and my son just came over."

While Wu Chao was speaking, he turned his head to look outside the hall, and said, "Bring it in."

A servant answered "Yes" and walked into the hall carrying a bamboo basket.

Xu looked over subconsciously.

However, the bamboo basket was covered with a layer of green gauze, making it difficult for people to see clearly what was inside.

And at this moment, the green yarn suddenly moved, as if being grabbed by something.

Then grab it again.

Most of the thin green gauze was torn off, and the 'culprit' stuck out a fluffy pink paw from the basket first.

"Meow--"

The little milk cat's cry sounded, Xu's eyes brightened, and she was almost about to scream.

Look what she saw?

It's a cat!

Immediately afterwards, the head of a kitten appeared in her sight, staring at her with a pair of round eyes.

Xu, who was hit violently again, said "ahah" twice in her heart, and quietly grasped the handkerchief tightly, her heart melted into water.

What should I do if I really want to hug?

The dignified demeanor she has cultivated all year round made her still sit firmly in the chair, reluctantly looked away, and asked her son casually: "Where did this cat come from?"

"It's a birthday gift prepared by the son for the mother."

— for her?!

Just when Mrs. Xu was delighted, Wu Jingming, the eldest son of Prince Dingnan, who heard the sound came from the study, entered the hall, took a look at the kitten in the basket, shook his head helplessly, and said to his son: "How could you think of sending a kitten?" Cats? Your mother never liked these rambunctious things—”

Xu looked at her husband with a dull expression.

What kind of enmity does a husband who doesn't speak human language have against her?

Sensing the sudden surge of "murderous aura" around his mother, and looking at his father's eyes of "you don't understand your mother", Wu Chao couldn't help feeling momentarily at a loss.

... Who is the one who doesn't understand?

Thinking of Xu Mingyi's previous words, he spoke at the right time: "My son will soon return to Ningyang. This cat is obedient and sensible. He should just stay by his mother's side and think about it, and accompany her to relieve her boredom."

Xu was surprised and pleasantly surprised when he heard it.

Having a sweetheart really makes a difference, look at how pleasing the words are.

When Mrs. Xu, who was in a good mood, was about to answer the conversation, she heard her husband laughing in front of her and said: "Your mother is full of trivial matters and has to deal with those wives and wives. There is no boring time all day long, and she always likes to be quiet. If you really have this kind of filial piety, after returning to Ningyang, you will often write letters to me and your mother, your mother will be very happy."

"..." The smile on Xu's face could hardly be maintained.

Can such a winking husband still have it?

Looking at his father, who seemed to think he was quite considerate of his wife, Wu Chao's mood was strangely complicated.

At this moment, he couldn't help but suspect that if his father hadn't had the status of the son of Prince Dingnan, whether he would be able to marry a daughter-in-law would have been a problem.

"It's A Yuan's wish anyway, it's just a cat, just leave it in the yard and let the maids keep it." Xu said casually, with a dignified smile still on his face.

Hearing what his wife said, Wu Jingming also nodded.

He was afraid that the cat would make a fuss, if it meowed at night, it would make his wife unable to sleep well.

Since his wife wants to fulfill his son's wishes, there is no reason for him to insist on being a villain.

At worst, after his son returned to Ningyang, he would send the cat away.

Seeing that her husband was finally no longer obsessed with causing trouble, Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Ah Yuan has a heart this time."

As he spoke, he glanced at his husband, and said in a joking tone, "Being more caring than your father."

A whole day passed, and she didn't say anything, and what was even more hateful was that this man didn't even say a word to congratulate her on her birthday.

Wu Jingming smiled and said to his wife: "Didn't you say that the birthday party will be cancelled?"

Mrs. Xu tightened her handkerchief, smiled, nodded and said, "Yes..."

She said she couldn't do it, but it doesn't mean today is not her birthday!

Seeing that the smile on Xu's face seemed a bit forced, Wu Jingming wondered inwardly.

Why do you feel that your wife seems to be really unhappy?

But how is this possible?

The wife has absolutely no reason to be angry.

Thinking of this, Wu Jingming glanced at his wife again.

Mrs. Xu was drinking tea with downcast eyes, and there was no sign of displeasure on her face.

Seeing this, Wu Jingming dispelled the doubts in his heart.

He said it was impossible, it really was his illusion.

Seeing this suffocating scene, Wu Chao couldn't help looking at his father for a while longer.

In fact, my father is very talented in reading and doing things, but when it comes to his family, especially his mother, his brain is not so good.

Could this be the rumored incompetence?

Sensing the look in his son's eyes, Wu Jingming was slightly taken aback.

The son seems to dislike him for not knowing how to get along with a husband and wife?

But a person who has reached the age of seventeen and has no intention of getting married actually has the nerve to despise him?

The eyes of the father and son met for a moment, and Wu Chao silently looked away.

"It's getting late, my son will go back first."

Xu smiled and nodded: "Let's rest earlier."

Wu Chao responded, raised his hand to salute his parents, and retreated.

"My son, go back to the study to read." After the son left, Xu began to urge her husband who was an eyesore.

Now that she also has a cat, who wants to face this man who will only cause trouble?

Wu Jingming paused while drinking tea.

Why do you feel that your wife seems to be chasing you?

However, looking at his wife's eyes full of gentle smiles, Wu Shizi quickly came to the answer in his heart that he repeated almost every day - this must be his illusion.

"It just so happens that I haven't finished reading half a page."

Wu Jingming put down the teacup and got up, and told his wife: "Don't wait for me, just rest first."

After sending her husband away, Mrs. Xu wanted to send her husband away, and hurriedly pointed her eyes at her confidant wife.

The confidant mother-in-law knowingly carried the basket containing the cat, followed the dignified Xu into the inner room, and sent the maids in the inner room out.

"Nurse, remember to watch for me!"

"Yes, Ma'am, don't worry."

The mother-in-law went to guard the curtain to watch out for her wife.

Xu couldn't wait to lift the cat out of the basket, carefully hugged it in her arms, rubbed her cheek against the fluff on the kitten's head, and sighed contentedly.

Ah, life is complete.
