Chapter 441: Submission
"I just temporarily prevented them from meeting each other. I didn't say Zhinian didn't have a mother."
"How can you not let the child see his mother? Qiu Bai, she is the woman you wanted to marry even at the cost of your life. Now that you have finally married her as you wished, you must treat her well and don't wait until it's too late to regret it."
Qin Qiubai also felt uncomfortable. He firmly believed that Lu Xianchun loved him, but the way she said and did things was really irritating. Sometimes he wanted to torture her severely to let her know that she had done something wrong.
But he couldn't bear to do it after all, just like the first day of their marriage, he didn't want to hit her, but she raised her little head high, and he really hated her.
Can't she just lower her posture and give in to me?
So he punished her by hitting the palm of her hand with a ruler.
He hit her with the ruler and saw her biting her lips stubbornly. He felt distressed. After three hits, he wanted to throw the ruler away and hug her in his arms.
He looked at her with eager eyes, and if she showed any sign of submission, he would throw the ruler away.
But she didn't. She would rather be beaten than beg for mercy.
Three hits was the limit, he couldn't go on.
But he didn't want to be looked down upon by her, so he punished her and made her kneel in the ancestral hall.
When she arrived at the ancestral hall and there were no outsiders around, she could kneel or not.
Who would have thought that she would actually kneel obediently for an hour, which made him so angry that he found an excuse to ask her to go back to her room.
And today...
Qin Qiubai raised his head again and looked at his mother pitifully.
"Mother, what should my son do..."
Mrs. Qin felt so distressed seeing her son in this state.
"Alas, there are some things that our Qin family did that were not right. Who would have thought that she was actually the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion? If you had known this, why would you two have made such a fuss today?"
Zhinian started to make a noise again: "Mom, mom..."
Madam Qin glanced at Zhinian and said, "Why don't you take Zhinian with you?"
"I……"
"Oh, it's settled. You two are already husband and wife. Husband and wife don't have any worries that last overnight. You should talk to her properly. This is not a solution. After all, it's the Queen Mother who arranged the marriage. You can only be tied together for the rest of your lives. Do you understand?"
"Mother……"
I just deliberately irritated her...
Qin Qiubai looked at his mother guiltily, but ultimately did not dare to say anything.
He was afraid that his mother would slap him.
Qin Qiubai took Zhinian from the nanny and led Zhinian to where Xianchun lived.
Lu Xianchun returned to his yard and stared blankly at Zhinian's stuffed doll.
This panda doll is called Qiqi. It is Zhinian’s favorite toy. He usually hugs it before sleeping.
Thinking about how my son has not been with me since I got married, and I don’t even have his favorite toy. I wonder if he is crying now…
"It's my fault. I don't have the ability to protect you."
Qin Qiubai carried Zhinian into the yard, and Zhinian began to shout from a distance: "Mom, Mom..."
Lu Xianchun looked at the doll and thought she was hallucinating, but the screams were getting closer and clearer, and she couldn't help but look towards the door.
When she saw Qin Qiubai standing there holding Zhinian, her nose felt sore and her eyes couldn't help but become moist. She quickly ran over and took Zhinian from Qin Qiubai's arms.
"This year, this year, mother missed you so much."
"I miss mom even at this age, wuwuwu, mom..."
"Zhi Nian wants mother, does mother want Zhi Nian?"
The little guy asked pitifully while crying, and this sentence made Lu Xianchun cry uncontrollably.
"Mother wants Zhinian. Of course mother wants Zhinian. Zhinian is mother's lifeblood. How can mother not want Zhinian?"
No matter how much she hugged Zhinian and kissed him, she couldn't get enough. It was only three days since they last saw each other, but she felt like a lifetime ago.
Seeing his wife and children crying like this, he felt very uncomfortable. After all, she was his beloved woman. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear to let her suffer any injustice.
He coughed lightly to remind himself that he was still there.
Sure enough, when Lu Xianchun heard his cough, he slowly stopped crying.
She hugged her son tightly in her arms and said with red eyes: "Tell me, what do you want to do now."
Qin Qiubai was a little embarrassed, but still told the truth: "I just went to my mother's house and she scolded me."
Hearing this, Lu Xianchun looked at Qin Qiubai with some surprise, but quickly turned his head away.
Qin Qiubai continued, "Mother said that our marriage was arranged by the Queen Mother and that we are destined to be together for the rest of our lives. Instead of hating each other, it's better for us to live in harmony."
Lu Xianchun's heart trembled.
Are they harmonious and beautiful?
Can they still live in harmony?
Seeing that Lu Xianchun was still silent, Qin Qiubai reached out to hug Zhinian: "Zhinian, be good, come and let your father hug you."
What he meant was that he felt sorry for Lu Xianchun who was having a hard time carrying the child.
Lu Xianchun thought he was going to take Zhinian away, so he hugged Zhinian tightly and backed away repeatedly: "Qin Qiubai, don't go too far. He is my son, you can't take him away."
Qin Qiubai saw that she misunderstood and quickly explained: "I don't want to take him away, I'm just worried that you'll be too tired to carry him."
"Since I was able to carry him for ten months and give birth to him, I won't feel tired."
When Qin Qiubai met Lu Xianchun's defensive eyes, he realized what a mistake it was to take Zhinian away.
"Don't worry, I won't take Zhinian away again. I just want you to take Zhinian with you to visit mother more often when you are free."
"Don't worry about that. I will go to pay my respects to my mother-in-law every day."
Seeing that Qin Qiubai was still standing there with no intention of leaving, Lu Xianchun wanted to chase him away, but after looking at his son in his arms, he held back.
After all, he helped send his son back, even though it was his fault, but...
Lu Xianchun sighed in his heart.
"Will you stay for dinner?"
Qin Qiubai's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Lu Xianchun quickly ordered the servants to cook, and she led her son into the house.
Qin Qiubai followed behind, watching the mother and son talking and playing there, and he would occasionally interject a word or two.
In the evening, the family of three had a warm dinner together.
After dinner, Lu Xianchun coaxed Zhinian to sleep.
These past few days have cast a shadow on Zhinian. When he fell asleep, one hand was still grabbing Lu Shian's clothes and refused to let go.
Looking at her son in her arms, her motherly love overflowed, and she just held him.
She leaned her head towards her son again.
She smiled and closed her eyes, planning to sleep with her son as she did before.
She had just closed her eyes when she felt someone approaching her. She was startled and almost screamed out loud.
"what are you doing?"
Qin Qiubai hasn't been this happy for a long time.
He wanted to lean on her and fall asleep with his son.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't wake up our son."
"If you don't want to wake your son, don't come over here."
"Shh, don't talk, go to sleep, I won't do anything, I promise."
Lu Xianchun's body was so stiff, Qin Qiubai was just sticking to her. He didn't have to do anything, she was already nervous enough.
