——————
Yan Jinsu woke up with a nosebleed early in the morning, which put Xie Jingchen on edge for the entire morning.
Yan Jinsu herself didn’t make a big deal out of it and, after stopping her nosebleed, she didn’t hesitate to pick out a small air humidifier from her Space to use.
Nowadays, Beijing has citywide electricity. However, old houses like Siheyuan require setting up their own electrical wiring, as the local utility service [does anyone know if this is the correct term?] doesn’t extend to the outlets.
Xie Jingchen examined various spots and finally chose the least conspicuous corner in the inner room to run a wire for the power outlet, allowing Yan Jinsu to set up her air humidifier.
Due to its small size, it was easily concealed by a short table and would have gone unnoticed unless one paid special attention.
Yan Jinsu dared to bring it out so openly because, in this inner room, other than herself and Xie Jingchen as adults, there were only the adorable twins, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi.
Wang Chunmei had been following Yan Jinsu for two months and knew a bit about her little peculiarities, aware that she disliked people casually entering her bedroom.
Back in her hometown, unless allowed by Yan Jinsu, Wang Chunmei would never dare to step foot into the private quarters of Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law.
Not just her—even her adoptive mother, Zhou Xiuhua, had privately warned her, so she knew about Yan Jinsu’s obsession with cleanliness.
Now only Nanny Chen would come near the main house in the backyard, but Nanny Chen saw herself as nothing more than a cook. In the old society, what status could a cook have? Engaged in all the dirty and messy work, she would never enter the master’s private quarters.
Because of this, Yan Jinsu had gradually become bolder, willing to use some inconspicuous items from her Space, with the most crucial factor being the omnipotent Xie Jingchen by her side, as her husband always had a way to help her achieve her goals.
In the end, the item might be altered beyond recognition, but Yan Jinsu was well past the age of sweet sixteen or seventeen when appearances were everything; she valued ’practicality’ in items above all.
Of course, that excluded jewelry and decorative items. These things need to be ’beautiful and attractive’—too ugly, and they’d be too embarrassing to show off.
On the second day after arriving in Beijing, Yan Jinsu stayed in the backyard to rest and recuperate, going nowhere, making it the most peaceful day.
After that, even if Yan Jinsu stayed in the Siheyuan to rest for her pregnancy, she was frequently visited by people seeking medicine or advice, or others causing trouble—her days were indeed very lively.
That day, in the evening, two special guests arrived at the Siheyuan, two female soldiers specially brought back by Xie Jingchen.
The female soldiers were also retired due to injuries, and these two were actually relatives of Xie Jingchen’s subordinates. Both looked rather old, seemingly around forty, with very strong and firm features, as if accustomed to clenching their jaws tightly.
The first was Lei Hairong’s older cousin; her name was Tao Siming, thirty-eight years old with a height of one meter seventy-five, half a head taller than Yan Jinsu. Her face was stiff, showing that she wasn’t prone to smiling, but when she looked at the twin dragons, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, her gaze was incredibly tender.
The second was Tao Siming’s distant cousin, Gui Jiayi, who wasn’t related to Lei Hairong. Thirty-five years old, both cousins had similar body structures, and their dark faces carried the traces left by the years.
