A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 225 - 225 Red Wine

225 Red Wine

Hearing Qin Shi’s words, Ning Chen was instantly surprised. He knew that Ning Yue was very capable, but he did not know that Ning Yue was very talented in doing business.

“Regardless of whether this money counts as anything or not, it’s also a token of my appreciation. I plan to let Father use it. Wifey, I have an official position. I plan to go back and bring you over.”

When Qin Shi heard this, tears instantly fell.

She had taken care of her children alone in the Ning family. In the past, she had dreamed of going over with her man. Now that she heard Ning Chen mention this, she couldn’t help but hug Ning Chen and cry.

Ning Chen looked at Qin Shi at a loss. “I’m sorry, wife. Did I do something wrong?”

“No, no, no. You didn’t do anything wrong. I just couldn’t help it.” Madam Qin wiped the tears from her face. She tried to smile.

However, every time she grinned, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

When she was tired of crying, she stopped sobbing. “Ning Chen, do you know that I dreamed of going with you? It wasn’t easy for our lives to improve. I helped Yueyue manage her workshop and got busy. I finally stopped thinking about this. But now, you suddenly say that you want to take me there. It reminds me of what happened before. I…”

Previously, Meng Long’s attempt to forcefully marry Fifth Sister had left her with lingering fear. If not for Ning Yue and Jiang Ying, she really did not know what to do.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shi told Ning Chen everything. When Ning Chen heard this, he was so angry that he cursed, “Meng Hang is really a scumbag! If he hadn’t died, I would have taken my sword to argue with him!”

“Sigh, it’s all in the past. Yueyue and Prince Jiang have settled it. That Meng Hang is indeed a good-for-nothing. The final outcome was very satisfying. The crown prince investigated his entire family. He didn’t let go of those who did bad things, and the good people were spared.”

“The crown prince did a good job. I heard about Meng Hang, but I don’t know why he was investigated. So it’s because of my child!”

Ning Chen felt a lingering fear just thinking about it. If not for Ning Yue and Jiang Ying, he would probably live in regret for the rest of his life.

“Alright, don’t think too much. Everything is out of our control. Let bygones be bygones. Wifey, let’s live together as a family in the future, okay?”

Qin Shi was silent for a moment. She did not know if she should go. In her heart, she wanted to go, but now, be it the oil press or the brewery, they were both very busy.

Wouldn’t it be very disloyal for her to go with Ning Chen at this time?

“What are you thinking about? The two children? We’ll bring the children along. There’s also a private school at the border. It won’t delay their schooling,” Ning Chen said.

Madam Qin sighed. “Not exactly. I’m worried about my family, you know? The brewery has been very difficult recently. Yueyue has done a lot to help the women of Laifu Village stand up. If I leave now, who will help Yueyue?”

“Help the women in Laifu Village stand up? What’s going on?” Ning Chen realized that he seemed to have fallen behind. So many things had happened while he was away.

Qin Shi told Ning Chen about Wang Jing a few days ago. “You don’t know, but Yueyue is doing this to improve the status of women. They don’t have to dote on their daughters like our family, but at least they don’t treat women as goods.”

“I see.” Ning Chen had mixed feelings.

Their family doted on their daughters very much, and he had never considered how women from other families would be treated. He had thought that everyone was like their family.

On second thought, there were some military prostitutes in the army. Were these not the lowly women Qin Shi had described?

“Give me time to think about it. How long will you be at home?” Qin Shi asked.

“It’s a half-month vacation. It took half a day on the road. It only takes a day to get from Laifu Village to the border city. I can stay at home for ten days.”

After a long time, a smile appeared on Qin Shi’s face. In the past, when Ning Chen returned, he could only stay for three to five days at most. Now that he could stay for ten days, she was very satisfied.

“Husband, it’s been hard on you. You have to rest well for the next ten days! Yueyue’s cooking is delicious. You’re lucky to be back,” Qin Shi said.

“Okay.” Ning Chen gently hugged Qin Shi.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside. The two of them immediately let go of each other. Qin Shi opened the door with a red face. Ning Yue’s smiling face appeared outside.

“Second Uncle and Second Aunt, it’s already time to eat. Do the two of you still want to be in the room?” Ning Yue said with a smile.

Qin Shi’s face turned even redder. She didn’t know what to say and could only lower her head. Ning Chen couldn’t help but say, “Yueyue, stop teasing Second Uncle and Second Aunt. Let’s go eat.”
