Chapter 1156: Chapter 1157: No Good Days Ahead

"Just like that," An Jing chuckled to herself before continuing, "I’ve realized Ye Zi and Gong Juechen are really likely to become a pair. I’m finding them more and more like a comical duo of feuding sweethearts."

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing An Jing’s question, Xiao Changyi finally replied indifferently, "If they truly are a pair, Gong Juechen will have plenty of suffering ahead of him."

An Jing burst into laughter, "I think so, too. Ye Zi really hates Gong Juechen’s mouth, and yet he always has to say something offensive, annoying Ye Zi three times out of four with his words. Once Ye Zi gets angry, she’ll beat him, making sure he has no good days, haha..."

If it weren’t for fear of waking her four children, An Jing would have really wanted to laugh out loud right then.

Previously, she and her husband had always thought that someone would eventually come along to put Gong Juechen firmly in his place due to his sharp tongue, and if that person really was Ye Zhi, it would certainly be quite the spectacle~

Xiao Changyi, however, did not laugh. Instead, he lowered his head to steady An Jing’s mouth, which was breaking into a smile.

An Jing was initially taken aback, then let Xiao Changyi kiss her and wrapped her arms around his neck in response.

With the four little ones still asleep beside them, An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t dare make too much noise, so they just kissed to quench their thirst.

Feeling the changes in Xiao Changyi’s body, An Jing hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It’s not too late now."

Xiao Changyi had only intended to share a kiss and leave it at that, but upon hearing An Jing’s words, the temperature in his cold eyes instantly rose, and he carried An Jing horizontally into the next room.

Because they were afraid the four little ones would wake up and be frightened, Xiao Changyi and An Jing did not linger long before returning to their inner chamber.

Of course, before heading back, they took another bath.

After breaking into a sweat, a bath felt much more comfortable.

Then, the two lay in bed in the inner chamber, first taking a look at the four children asleep between them, then at each other, and then, satisfied, they closed their eyes and fell asleep.

...

The next day, Meng Lanqing came to report that he had checked everyone in the General’s mansion and found no one suspicious; the assassins must have slipped in secretly.

"The guards of the General’s mansion..." Xiao Changyi began but did not finish.

Meng Lanqing understood and quickly said, "Those not qualified have all been replaced. My mother felt sentimental and didn’t want to make the change before, but after what happened, she agreed, saying nothing is more important than the safety of people in the mansion."

Xiao Changyi then ordered, "In the coming days, pay close attention to everything in the Capital to ensure that the New Emperor’s coronation ceremony goes smoothly."

Meng Lanqing immediately saluted, "Yes!"

Xiao Changyi did not speak further.

An Jing, however, smiled and initiated the conversation, "Today is the day Wild Goose Jade moves in, isn’t it?"

"Yes, the Commandery Princess will move into the mansion today to live with Zhuqing."

"As husband and wife, they should live together; we can’t have one staying at the mansion and the other at the General’s residence." Pausing, An Jing added, "Arrange a larger courtyard for your brother to live in. After all, Wild Goose Jade is a Commandery Princess; we can’t slight her and give others reason to laugh at her status."

"On behalf of Zhuqing and the Commandery Princess, I thank the lady," he said.

"Alright, you may go now. And please tell Wild Goose Jade that your grandfather and I will host a banquet today, as a welcome for her moving in and becoming part of this mansion’s family."

In the eyes of An Jing and Xiao Changyi, Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing were not only members of the Meng family but also part of their own family.
