Before admitting defeat, Wang Youbao always tried to accommodate Li Wuyu where possible. Now that he had accepted his lot, Wang Youbao was even more agreeable to whatever Li Wuyu said.
Now, Li Wuyu said to handle things according to An Jing’s wishes. Even though Wang Youbao felt the punishment was a bit light, he agreed and let Yu Daming return to receive forty heavy blows.
Yu Daming immediately thanked Li Wuyu profusely, and then he returned to the Wang Family to accept his punishment.
Seeing that Yu Daming had left, An Jing said, "Wuyu, don’t stand at the door anymore. Doctor Jiang said you need to rest properly. If you have things to discuss, just go inside and talk."
An Jing didn’t want to interfere with the couple’s matters, especially since the issue had been resolved. After saying this, An Jing went to find her husband and her sons.
Once Li Wuyu was back lying in bed, she then asked Wang Youbao, "Youbao, I am not a daughter from a decent family... do you really not mind?"
When Yu Daming had mentioned it that day, she hadn’t paid attention, but today, within the room, she had heard everything. It seemed that both Yu Daming and her Youbao believed she was not the daughter of a respectable family. Hence, Yu Daming thought she wasn’t worthy of her Youbao and believed her Youbao was taking her as a concubine.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Youbao decided to tell the truth, "I did mind it before. The reason I refused to express my feelings for you was due to this matter. You know, I am born out of wedlock and also from a merchant family. If I were to marry another girl from a not- respectable family as my wife, people would look down upon me even more. However, now I don’t mind it anymore."
Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, Li Wuyu asked, "Why do you no longer mind it now?"
Wang Youbao, somewhat embarrassed and looking at the ground, honestly admitted, "Simply because, my fondness for you has surpassed these concerns."
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyu’s heart, which had been uncomfortable, immediately became filled with joy.
"Husband, did Jing’er and the others bother you?" An Jing entered the inner room and asked with a smile.
Xiao Changyi was sitting by the rocking cradle. As soon as he saw An Jing come in, he got up. As she walked towards him, he also walked toward her, then he put his arms around her shoulders and together they walked back to the rocking cradle.
At the same time, he quietly answered, "No."
An Jing really liked how Xiao Changyi would always ’fetch’ her ; even without closely pondering over it, she could feel her importance to him.
Upon reaching the rocking cradle and seeing that the four little ones were indeed quietly amusing themselves inside, An Jing smiled again and said, "Husband, I was a bit worried at first that we wouldn’t be able to handle so many children, but now it seems you would do very well even if I gave you two more."
To give him two more...
Xiao Changyi, who was planning inside to send the children to the Imperial Capital to the Emperor of Xiyun when they reached two or three years old: "..."
If two more came along, when would he be able to return to their world of just the two of them with his wife?
"Right, Husband, Youbao and Wuyu have reconciled," said An Jing, completely unaware of Xiao Changyi’s inner plans. "You didn’t see it just now because I had you come back to take care of the children, but originally Wuyu was so angry, waking up and telling Youbao to leave because she mistakenly thought Youbao wanted her to become a concubine. However, now everything has been clarified. It was Yu Daming who spoke out of turn to Wuyu about being a concubine, when in fact Youbao had no such intention; Youbao simply wants to marry Wuyu as his wife."
