Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard

Chapter 64.4 – Haven’t We Long Been Engaged? (4)

T/N: Chapter sponsored by Jane Doe, Innovare, Gigi Jinx! Thank you for sponsoring! The chapter of awkwardest

parent and child conversation ever.

The guards that came along, seeing that Leng Er didn’t do anything and just watched Du Xiao Li’s horse carriage

enter the city, went up and said, “Sir Leng Er, we’re just going to let her walk away like that?”

“That girl, the more you force her, the more she’ll refuse. Come on, let’s go back to find master.” Leng Er said, and

then whipped the horse. He didn’t enter the city, instead heading towards another direction.

Du Xiao Li didn’t have Han Ming Yi’s wish to see her put to heart, because at the moment, she truly didn’t want to

see that person. Letting the emperor bestow the marriage for no reason really made her very upset.

She had Du Xiu Heng left in her own courtyard for dinner. Before they finished, Du Yun Han came over. Seeing

them currently eating, he directly sat down and began eating.

Perhaps because Du Yun Han was present, after he finished eating, Du Xiu Heng returned to his own courtyard.

Seeing Du Xiu Heng not willing to acknowledge him, Du Yun Han heavily sighed.

“Father, big brother is just temporarily unable to see things through. Once he thinks things through, it’ll be better.”

Du Xiao Li comforted.

“The incident that year, I’ve already explained to him, what is there still to figure out!?” Du Yun Han helplessly said.

“You just told big brother that you only have mother in your heart. But in our eyes, loving a person, your body and

heart has to be one. Although you only have mother in your heart, you still ended up having children with other

women.” Speaking of this, Du Xiao Li also felt stuffy inside, her thoughts dark like the crows under the sky. Even if

he cried that bitterly in front of Su Su Xin’s grave, it still can’t erase the fact that he has other children. Moreover,

Du Xiu Heng and Du Ke Xin’s age difference, and herself and Du Ke Hui’s age difference, were all just a few

months apart. Then that means, he did those things while Su Su Xin was pregnant.

Cheating while one’s own wife was pregnant, this wass the most hateful!

Du Yun Han was also a smart man. Hearing that Du Xiao Li’s tone was off, he knew she was also angry, thus

quickly explained, “I really just like your mother!”

“Just look at the age difference between us siblings. You dare to say you didn’t do that while mother was pregnant?

Your body already cheated, mother’s also dead, what use is there for you to say these now.” Du Xiao Li angrily said.

“That year, I already told your mother. I was drunk both those two times, drunk to the point of unconsciousness. The

next day, I don’t even remember what I did the night before. It completely wasn’t on purpose. Xiao Li, you have to

believe father, father….” Du Yun Han although felt telling this matter to his daughter was somewhat embarrassing,

but his son was already ignoring, his daughter normally was still a little good to him, however if even his daughter

no longer acknowledged him, then he will have to go find a piece of tofu and ram himself to death!

(T/N: The phrase ‘ramming to death on a piece of tofu’ is normally used to criticize a person’s incompetence, so

useless that they’ll even die ramming against a piece of tofu.)

“I don’t believe you, how can you be dead drunk and still be able to…….” When Du Xiao Li spoke till here, she

stopped, and her gaze strangely looked to Du Yun Han.

She remembered hearing the men in the organization in her past life say: ‘When truly dead drunk to the point of

unconsciousness, would one still have the energy to roll the bed with someone? Would’ve long been sleeping like a

dead pig! Those so called cheating when drunk are actually just borrowing alcohol to cheat. The mind is actually

still conscious.’

If Du Yun Han really was dead drunk, could he have still been able to roll the bed with that woman?

“What’s wrong?” Du Yun Han felt somewhat tingly getting stared at by Du Xiao Li.

“You really only did it those two times?” Du Xiao Li asked.

Du Yun Han nodded with a red face.

“Both times you were dead drunk?”

Du Yun Han once again nodded.

“Oh.”

Du Yun Han saw Du Xiao Li suddenly returning to normal. After asking him that much, she just let out an ‘oh’. This

made him unable to make sense of the matter.

“What did you come over tonight for? Don’t tell me it’s just to freeload a meal?” Du Xiao Li asked.

“No.” Du Yun Han took out a piece of land deed from his chest, “I came to give you this. I went to the Ministry of

Revenue today and had the land you wanted bought.”

Du Xiao Li accepted the land deed and said, “Thanks father.”

“Need me to find someone to renovate the place for you?” Du Yun Han was very happy inside at Du Xiao Li’s

response.

“No need, I will find people myself. If you find someone, isn’t that the same as telling others this is your land?” Du

Xiao Li rejected.

“Xiao Li, I know you have your own abilities, but can’t you also rely on your father for once?” Du Yun Han

somewhat helplessly said. If his daughter was too capable, he would feel that he as the father have no presence.

“Isn’t this relying on you?” Du Xiao Li waved the land deed in her hand.

“Hai, alright, then if you have anything else, remember to tell father. Father will go back first.” Du Yun Han said as

he got up, “That’s right, I arranged for you older brother to go to Four Way Academy tomorrow. When do you plan

on going?”

“Ah? I also have to go?” Du Xiao Li said in surprise.

“Of course you have to go. The children of the capital’s court officials all have to go to Four Way Academy to study.

If you can receive the academy’s commendation, then in the future, when looking for a marriage partner, you can

find a better one.” Du Yun Han said, “Although right now you’ve already been bestowed a marriage by the emperor,

but going to the academy to expand you knowledge is also good.”

“The outside all say I’m unlearned. Aren’t you afraid I might make you lose face going to the academy?” Du Xiao Li

asked.

“So what, no matter what, my daughter is always the best! Even if you don’t learn those things, it doesn’t matter. I

just don’t want you to miss out on this process. It’s not because I want you to go to the academy to give me face!”

Du Yun Han said, “Anyways, what do you plan on going? That way I can arrange it for you.”

“Wait until after the things in the back are all take care of. En, probably about half a month.” Du Xiao Li pondered

for a moment and said.

She never thought that she would one day attend school. Originally, she planned on refusing, but hearing Du Yun

Han say, ‘I just don’t want you to miss out on this process. It’s not because I want you to go to the academy to give

me face’. She temporarily changed her mind.

“Alright, then a month later. I’ll go arrange for you, remember to rest early.” Du Yun Han said and then left.

Du Xiao Li sent of Du Yun Han from the courtyard. Seeing his retreating back, she suddenly felt a little sour inside,

feeling like she wanted to cry.

“Miss, what’s wrong?” Ying Ge, seeing Du Xiao Li stand in the courtyard, went forward and asked.

“Nothing, I just feel somewhat sorrowful.” Du Xiao Li said.

She could feel Du Yun Han’s pampering love towards her. It was even much more than towards Du Xiu Heng.

Recalling his sorrowful and despairing look crying before Su Su Xin’s grave, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

“Ying Ge, last time I let you all investigate Xie Yu’s matter, how’s the investigation?” Du Xiao Li thought of Du Yun

Han’s appearance tonight, and increasingly felt those yiniangs were somewhat suspicious.

“Replying to miss, while investigating, they discovered a force blocking us, so up until now, we still haven’t figured

out her identity and background. But there are some things that everyone all knows.” Ying Ge said.

“What?”

“Heard this third yiniang and fifth miss came to the Du Manor when fifth miss was three years old. Before, there

was only second madam in the house. Afterwards, the prime minister announced that fifth miss was his daughter on

the outside, and that he had them brought back. After that, he successively took in two concubines, but the prime

minister has never gone to their courtyards before.” Ying Ge replied.
