Chapter 469: In This Life, I Only Want You ( 2 )

The rest of the letter consisted of Xue Ya’er’s grandmother’s complaints and scoldings toward her distant maternal aunt.

The reason was none other than her maternal aunt, bringing up her inability to give birth to a son for her husband. Using this excuse, her maternal aunt wanted to push her maternal cousin into her husband’s side room as a concubine.

This kind of practice was normal among wealthy, prominent, and noble families. After all, the matter of heirs held the highest importance in the entire family.

Under normal circumstances, if the legal wife was unable to bear a son for her husband within 3 years, she was expected to take the initiative to bring in a concubine for her husband to continue the family line.

When Xue Ya’er finished reading the letter, she was not angry. She understood that, in other people’s eyes, her marriage to her husband was a political marriage.

So, even if her husband took in several concubines, she wouldn’t feel jealous or angry. At most, she would take a son born to a concubine under her name and raise him as her own.

If it had been before, she wouldn’t have cared about this matter at all. Whoever her husband liked was not her concern. But now that her relationship with her husband was that of an ordinary couple, she decided to show the letter to him.

After making this decision, Xue Ya’er first wrote replies to her father and grandmother.

When she was done, she summoned the messenger and handed the letters to him while saying, “Take a rest for 3 days before you return.”

The messenger accepted the letters and the monetary reward from his Eldest Miss as he nodded. “Understood.”

After sending the messenger away, Xue Ya’er changed her clothes and asked the maidservants to prepare some snacks and food for her husband.

An hour later, she left the General’s mansion and headed to the military camp.

Half an hour later, the horse carriage drove into the military camp. Since the military barracks in the southern area were still in the land-preparation stage, the soldiers had not yet moved away.

Unlike the main military barracks, the soldiers were already used to the Lady visiting the Marquis once every few days. Therefore, no one stopped the horse carriage, and it was allowed to park near the General’s tent.

After she stepped out of the carriage, Xue Ya’er turned to the maidservant and Ah Jun. Taking the three-layer bamboo basket, she said, “Send these things to the cooks.”

Ah Jun nodded and drove the carriage toward the kitchen area. Every time they visited, his Mistress would send some vegetables, meat, or eggs to supplement the soldiers’ meals.

Xue Ya’er walked toward the tent, and before she could ask the guard to inform her husband, she saw him stride out with large steps.

Seeing his wife, Lu Qianxuan’s eyes lit up. Reaching out, he took her hands and asked, “Wife, why did you come? The weather is so hot. What if you get sunburned or suffer heatstroke?”

When Xue Ya’er heard her husband’s nagging, she smiled and replied, “I had nothing to do at home and thought of you, so I came to see you.”

The moment he heard this, Lu Qianxuan’s heart swelled with joy. He never expected that there would be a day when his wife would tell him that she missed him.

Despite his joy, he still worried about her and led her into the tent. After his wife took a seat, he personally poured a cup of warm tea for her.

“Your stomach is not good. It’s better not to drink cold tea.”

Xue Ya’er knew her health was not good and didn’t refuse her husband’s care. After taking a sip of tea, she took a letter from her sleeve and handed it to him.

“What is this?” Lu Qianxuan asked doubtfully.

“This is a letter from my grandmother.”

Seeing how calm his wife was, Lu Qianxuan asked again, “You want me to read it?”

This time, Xue Ya’er nodded.

While he was reading the letter, she took out a plate of lotus pastries made using egg yolks, lotus seed paste, and honey. These pastries were deep-fried. The dough would bloom during the frying process, creating a beautiful flower shape.

The recipe for these lotus pastries was given by Yao Zhi, and this was the first time the cook she hired had successfully recreated them.

Besides the lotus pastries, she also took out a plate of mung bean cakes and a jar of grass jelly soup. These mung beans and grass jelly were also gifts from Yao Zhi.

Since these were only available through the Lei family, it showed how rare they were. Therefore, she wanted her husband to have a taste.

After she finished setting up the table, Lu Qianxuan had also finished reading the letter. Unlike his wife’s calm demeanor, he was clearly angry. His eyes were cold, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He took several deep breaths to calm down before looking at his wife and asking, “Wife, are you going to take them in?”

Instead of answering his question, Xue Ya’er asked, “Husband, what do you think about this matter?”

The moment he heard his wife’s words, Lu Qianxuan thought that she agreed to this absurd request and said through gritted teeth, “If you dare take them in, I will break their legs and throw them to feed the dogs!”

When she heard this, Xue Ya’er was stunned. She never expected him to be so angry.

After a moment of silence, she sighed and reached out to hold his clenched fist.

As she rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb, she said softly, “Husband, I never thought of taking her in as your concubine. But it is a fact that I have been unable to bear a child for you after so many years.”

“So what? It’s not your fault that you are unable to conceive,” Lu Qianxuan retorted sharply.
