Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 44: Going to the County Town and Opening a Shop

"If your husband doesn't take the initiative, then you have to. You've been married for so long, and you still haven't consummated the marriage. It's laughable if people find out. Men are all the same. As long as you take the initiative, he'll take the bait," Nanny Dong said.

Ji Wan'er's face turned red, and she couldn't say anything.

"I can see that your husband is very interested in you. You two are not young anymore. It's time to have a child," Nanny Dong continued.

They were just talking about consummation, and now they were already talking about having a child.

"Let's... let's talk about it later. It's not urgent," Ji Wan'er blushed and said.

Nanny Dong nodded at her daughter's response. "It's not urgent indeed. It's fortunate that you don't have a mother-in-law, otherwise, you would have been pressured countless times by now."

After chatting for a while, the mother and daughter went out.

As they left, Ji Wan'er's face was still red. Xiao Qingming felt a bit puzzled and kept looking at her sideways.

After some more conversation with others, Ji Wan'er and Xiao Qingming prepared to leave. Before leaving, Nanny Dong brought them some pastries and candies.

Seeing her daughter and son-in-law's refusal, Nanny Dong said, "These are not for the two of you, they're for the two children. Bring them some delicious treats. Speaking of which, it's because Wan'er is not sensible enough that she didn't bring them along. Next time you come here, remember to bring the children."

"Understood, Mother."

On the way back, Ji Wan'er was still thinking about what Nanny Dong had told her earlier.

With no one around at the moment, only the two of them, Xiao Qingming asked, "Wife, did mother-in-law talk to you about something? If you find it difficult to solve, you can talk to me about it."

Upon hearing his words, Ji Wan'er's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at him.

Normally, when the two of them were together, it was Xiao Qingming who would blush and feel shy. But today, the roles seemed to have reversed, and it was Ji Wan'er who blushed.

"Why is your face turning red?" Xiao Qingming asked, puzzled.

Ji Wan'er lightly patted her own face and avoided eye contact. "It's nothing. Let's hurry back. The sun is scorching." With that, she quickened her pace and walked ahead.

Xiao Qingming looked at the sun, then at his wife. After giving it some thought, he took off his outer garment.

Ji Wan'er was walking when she suddenly felt a bit of shade. She looked up and saw Xiao Qingming holding his clothes above her head.

Seeing his thoughtful gesture, a faint smile appeared on Ji Wan'er's lips.

Seeing his wife smile, Xiao Qingming also felt relieved.

From then on, the two of them chatted and laughed along the way.

When it was time to sleep at night, Ji Wan'er lay down on the bed first, watching as Xiao Qingming spread a mat on the ground. There was a moment when Ji Wan'er wanted to stop him. However, after hesitating for a while, the words failed to come out.

Before long, the two of them turned off the lights and lay down.

Xiao Qingming truly cherished these days. His wife was by his side every day, and he could enjoy the delicious meals she prepared. However, such days couldn't last forever.
