Chapter 391 Something on my mind
"There are many different beliefs in this world. Since Yubao doesn't worship Buddha, we can't force him. Sister-in-law, we appreciate your kindness." Seeing Bao Huaer's disappointed face, Yi Qianhuan immediately turned to Liuli behind him and said, "Liuli, take out the Guanyin statue carved from natural coral in my storeroom and send it to my sister-in-law's room."
"I've seen that statue of Guanyin before. It's exquisitely crafted and priceless. You're sure to like it." Yi Qianyuan stood up, pulled Bao Huaer to sit next to him again, and patted her hand comfortingly.
"My husband is right. I am very happy. I hope this statue of Guanyin can bless me to conceive your child as soon as possible." The stiff expression on Bao Huaer's face disappeared completely in an instant, and she lowered her head shyly.
Yi Qianyuan gradually exerted force on his hands and held Bao Huaer's hand tightly.
But what Yi Qianyuan didn't expect was that Bao Huaer actually struggled.
He felt a sticky touch in the palm of his hand. Yi Qianyuan lowered his head and found that there were wounds on Bao Huaer's hand caused by her fingernails.
The crescent-shaped wound was oozing with blood, which shocked Yi Qianyuan.
"Husband, it's time to eat. Everyone is waiting for us." Bao Huaer spoke before Yi Qianyuan did and gently handed him the chopsticks.
In stark contrast to her gentle tone, Bao Huaer's pleading eyes fell on Yi Qianyuan.
He swallowed the food that had already reached his throat. Yi Qianyuan could only nod, took the chopsticks and started eating.
Yi Qianhuan was having a great time and joked with Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao from time to time.
Yi Qianhuan was happily enjoying the family happiness, so she felt more clearly that Yi Qianyuan seemed to be in a low mood.
"Brother, brother!"
Yi Qianyuan suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Yi Qianhuan and forced a smile on his face: "Huan'er, did you call me?"
"Brother, why do you look so worried? Is there something on your mind?"
"I didn't." Yi Qianyuan put on a relaxed expression, "It's just that I happened to be thinking about something just now, and I didn't hear what you said to me. I'm sorry, brother, what did you call me for just now?"
Yi Qianhuan looked at Yi Qianyuan's smile, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, there's nothing special. I just thought that my parents' death anniversary is coming soon, so we have to prepare."
"So, the day is almost here." Yi Qianyuan mentioned his parents, with a trace of guilt in his eyes, "You are the one who is careful. I have lost my memory for the past six years, and I have never worshipped my parents on time."
After recovering his memory, he immediately went to Duke Yi’s mansion to pay homage to his parents.
However, compared with the previous six years of doing nothing, he always felt that his worship was not enough.
"Huan'er, since I'm back this year, you don't have to worry about the worship. I think this year's worship must be a grand one. We should not only worship our parents, but also all our ancestors." Yi Qianyuan said.
"In that case, let's hold a memorial ceremony. This kind of thing is what Granny Qin is best at. If there are any details that you are not clear about, you can go and discuss it with Granny Qin." Yi Qianhuan handed the matter over to Yi Qianyuan with confidence.
Just as Yi Qianyuan agreed, he heard Bao Huaer's scream coming from beside him.
Everyone's attention was attracted by Bao Huaer.
A bowl of boiling hot chicken soup was poured all over Bao Huaer's body. Steam was coming out of her clothes. She stood up from her seat with a pale face in pain.
"Wow!" Bao Xiaoche, who was beside Bao Hua'er, burst into tears out of fear. "I'm sorry, sister! I didn't know you would suddenly approach me with the soup. I was just scalded. I didn't mean to spill the chicken soup!"
Bao Huaer's legs were so painful from the burns that she was completely speechless.
But she knew that Bao Xiaoche must have done it on purpose!
Everyone was having their meal just now, except Bao Xiaoche, who hadn't moved his chopsticks and had a gloomy look on his face.
Bao Huaer knew that Bao Xiaoche was angry with her for not completing the task successfully, so she specially prepared a bowl of Bao Xiaoche's favorite chicken soup, hoping that Bao Xiaoche could give her face.
Unexpectedly, Bao Xiaoche clearly saw her action, but deliberately raised his hand and overturned the bowl of soup in her hand!
"Brother, we need to quickly cut off the clothes on our sister-in-law with scissors, otherwise her injuries will only get worse if time passes!" Yi Qianhuan asked Liuli to fetch the scissors, "Master Du, take Yubao and Mobao away first."
"Yes. It just so happens that the Governor's Mansion has excellent burn medicine. I will ask Lin Tong to bring it over right away." Ji Chilian said, picking up one of his sons in one hand and leaving the dining room first.
Yi Qianyuan was extremely anxious, and he helped Bao Huaer to lie on the carpet first: "Huaer, bear with it for a moment, we will cut your clothes open first and see how serious your injury is."
Thinking that she would have her clothes cut into shreds and her clothes in disarray in a place like this, Bao Huaer's whole body trembled with shame.
Yi Qianhuan only cared about Bao Huaer's health and took action without waiting for Bao Huaer's consent.
Click, click-
The scissors cut open Bao Huaer's wet clothes, revealing the bright red skin underneath.
"It hurts so much...!" Bao Huaer felt the cloth rubbing against her burned flesh, and she almost curled up into a ball in pain.
"Sister-in-law, please bear with it. I will try to be gentler." Yi Qianhuan comforted her, and his hands moved more skillfully.
Yi Qianhuan was already very careful, but the wet clothes and burned skin were stuck together, and friction and pulling still occurred when they were separated.
Two blisters broke on the surface of her skin due to the burns. Bao Huaer's eyes turned white due to the pain and she looked like she was about to faint.
Yi Qianyuan was distressed and hugged Bao Huaer tightly, holding her hand: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."
“Wuwuwu, sister, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” Bao Xiaoche stood aside and kept wiping his eyes.
But Bao Huaer clearly saw that there was no sadness on Bao Xiaoche's face, and his actions were not to wipe away tears, but to hide the pride and brilliance in his eyes.
"Let him go, I don't want to see him!" Bao Huaer said with red eyes.
"Hua'er, you're going too far. Xiao Che is just a child after all, and he didn't mean it." Yi Qianyuan subconsciously spoke for Xiao Che.
"No, brother-in-law, you don't have to speak for me. It was indeed my fault this time. I shouldn't have been so reckless. Sister, I apologize to you, but I beg you not to send me away." Bao Xiaoche knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bao Huaer hard.
