The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 474: Post-Marriage Extra (Part 3)

For some reason, Yun Chunnuan didn’t want her mother to leave.

It felt as if this departure meant never seeing her again.

This feeling was inexplicable, and even Yun Chunnuan herself felt it was a bit irrational.

Lian Qiao, on the other hand, didn’t seem to react much. It’s just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks; what difference does one more person make?

She wasn’t very familiar with Madam Qi, yet not completely a stranger either, as they often met.

Thus, she stood aside, not joining the conversation.

But she couldn’t resist the little one tugging at her dress.

Lian Qiao looked down and saw her son pulling at her persistently, not struggling to run away, instead urging her to ask Madam Qi to stay.

Lian Qiao frowned slightly, unable to understand why her son liked Madam Qi so much.

Perhaps it’s because both she and her husband didn’t have parents, no elders in the family, so the only ones they could interact with were Madam Qi and the lady from the palace.

The lady from the palace was too lazy, and didn’t have much patience with the child, so her son leaned more towards Madam Qi.

Completely normal.

Some things, Lian Qiao had never considered.

No, not just never considered; she hadn’t even conceived the thought.

After all, it’s a five-year-old child and a nearly fifty-year-old elder.

Under her son’s strong request, Lian Qiao picked up A Xun and walked forward, "Madam Qi, why not stay for the day, since you’re already here? A Xun and Yue’er really miss you."

Before Madam Qi could respond, A Xun reached out with his short little arms, "Hug!"

Lian Qiao: "..."

Gosh! This little guy never acts cute with his own mother!

Full of envy and jealousy!

Madam Qi hadn’t managed to react when A Xun already wrapped his arms around her neck.

Holding a kid in each arm, tears still in her eyes, Madam Qi was caught in an amusing plight.

And so, they managed to keep her here.

At dusk, they returned to the General Mansion, where Yelyu Lie and Na Jiezhe had already set up a cool tent in the courtyard, with all the ingredients prepared for a hotpot feast.

Upon seeing his little wife, Yelyu Lie eagerly stepped forward, "Must be exhausted, go rest in the room, and soon..."

Mid-sentence, he spotted Madam Qi following closely behind.

Yelyu Lie instantly appeared different — nervous, awkward, and a bit frightened.

The stark contrast was apparent against his usual presence.

"Mother, you’re here. Why didn’t you inform us in advance, so I could send someone to pick you up."

His obedient demeanor made even Madam Qi smile, "What’s the need for a pick-up? I just cooked a bit and decided to stroll out."

It’s not that Madam Qi was unwilling to stay at the General Mansion. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

This silly son-in-law always seemed so restrained in front of her. The couple was affectionate, but once she appeared, it was just...

"Ahem."

Right then, a little boy coughed from behind.

Yelyu Lie felt even worse.

Goodness, he’s not enjoying this meal, seeing both parents here.

The mother was actually nice, filled with affection towards him, while caring for Nuannuan, sometimes even advising against Nuannuan’s wilfulness.

That father, though...

A father who’s five years old!

No matter what name he uses, it’s wrong!

This five-year-old father detests him extremely; no matter what Yelyu Lie does, he cannot seem to please this little father.

He dare not scold him.

Although this body is just a little kid, the soul is his little wife’s biological father!

Yelyu Lie sighed helplessly, his lips curled in a forced smile, "Little master is here too."

Indeed, ever since A Xun was just a baby, Yelyu Lie had called him little master.

He absolutely could not call him father, nor should he.

Directly calling him A Xun might earn him deadly glares.

When Yelyu Lie first called his son like this, Na Jiezhe was extremely panicked; he often addressed the General as master, what had his son done to deserve the General’s respectful title of little master for him!

But the General insisted, so Na Jiezhe had no choice.

Moreover, the General’s attitude toward his son was peculiar; Na Jiezhe noticed a hint of fear in the otherwise fearless General’s eyes...

Hmm, even with the former emperor, the General remained calm and composed.

Discussing at night under the covers, Na Jiezhe and Lian Qiao pondered for a long time.

Lian Qiao finally concluded: The General must be really fond of my son, perhaps planning to let my son be his son-in-law. Isn’t it true that father-in-laws get more and more fond of their sons-in-law?

No matter how hard she thought, Lian Qiao couldn’t guess the true reason.
