Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 257: Illegitimate Son ( 2 )

Yao Zhi’s heart melted when she saw Xi Qi’s cute smile. She walked to the bed and carried him into her arms. She pinched his tall nose and asked, "Xi Qi, are you hungry?"

The boy touched his belly and nodded.

Seeing this, Yao Zhi smiled and put him on her lap as she cut the jianbing into small pieces and fed him slowly. At the age of 3, he was already able to eat solid food.

For him, she didn’t add any chili sauce to avoid upsetting his stomach. While eating, she also fed him ginger licorice tea. Since it was spicy, the boy refused to drink it after two spoonfuls.

Since he disliked the taste, Yao Zhi didn’t force him to drink it. She finished the tea and took out the milk she had boiled yesterday. She added 1 drop of spiritual spring water to it.

She fed him a bowl and said, "Later, I will take you to visit my husband. He might look scary, but he is a good person."

Xi Qi’s brain was not as good as before due to the high fever, so it took him a long time to understand his master’s words.

After feeding him, Yao Zhi changed his clothes into thicker winter clothes and wrapped him tightly with a scarf, gloves, and a hat made of wool. She even bought thermal underwear for him. This underwear cost her 20 points.

Thinking about her husband suffering from a cold, she bought two thermal undergarments for him. The price for adult clothes was higher; each cost her 50 points.

When she finished changing her clothes, she used a long piece of fabric as a baby wrap. After she made sure that Xi Qi was secure, she wore the cloak given by her husband and left the house on her donkey.

Two bamboo baskets were tied to the saddle, which were used to carry things. She put an empty layered food box inside as a cover.

Since the weight was light, it only took Xiao Lu 20 minutes to reach the military barracks.

When they arrived, the guards noticed Xi Qi after she tied Xiao Lu to the tree. Seeing this, one of the guards quickly went to inform Fu Chen’an. Another guard stared at her in shock.

They had heard the rumors about Squad Leader Fu’s wife before, and none of the rumors were good.

At first, they believed the rumors, but after interacting with her for a period of time, they realized that she was not like the rumors said. With her generosity and skills, she now had a good reputation in the army.

Everything was going well, but she suddenly brought a child to visit her husband. Judging from her age, that child must not be hers. But for her to bring the child over, could it be Squad Leader Fu’s illegitimate child?

While the guard’s imagination was running wild, Fu Chen’an walked out. Seeing his wife, a smile appeared on his haggard face as he hastened his steps.

Before he could call his wife, he noticed an unknown brat nestled in his wife’s bosom.

Seeing how that brat leaned so comfortably there, a fire of jealousy burned in his heart. His face darkened, and he pressed his lips so tightly that they turned slightly pale.

When Yao Zhi raised her head, she noticed that her husband was in a bad mood. She observed him for a while, reached out to hold his hand, and asked, "Husband, what’s wrong?"

Fu Chen’an glared at the boy and asked, "Wife, whose child is he?"

Hearing this, Yao Zhi took off the baby sling and pulled him closer. She leaned so close that he could feel her warm breath brushing against his ear.

"Husband, this is Xi Qi. I bought him in the border town’s slave market. He is a state slave."

Fu Chen’an was taken aback by his wife’s words and said, "Aren’t state slaves mostly the families of criminals?"

Yao Zhi nodded and replied in a low voice, "He is from Marquis Yongning’s household."

Even though they lived on the northern border, he still heard some news from the capital from his supervisor. Knowing the political situation was important for them as military officers.

So when he heard the name of Marquis Yongning, he was shocked. He stared at his wife and said, "Wife, Marquis Yongning’s male relatives have all been beheaded. So how can this boy be his relative?"

"This child is actually the only male descendant left. His mother disguised him as a girl and managed to save his life. I will report the death of that girl in a few days and then give this boy a new identity as a beggar fleeing from disaster."

"I already talked with his mother, and she agreed. This child suffered from a high fever and became foolish. With his current situation, it will be impossible for him to gain any attention and he won’t cause us trouble."

When Fu Chen’an heard this, he asked, "Wife, are you planning to adopt him?"

Yao Zhi shook her head and replied, "I plan to raise him as our future children’s trusted aide. Even if we change his identity, he is still my servant."

After a moment of pause, she added, "We don’t have a child yet. I won’t adopt someone else’s child."

The moment Fu Chen’an heard his wife’s words, the jealousy and bad mood he felt disappeared instantly. He considered the pros and cons for a while before he nodded.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will support you. Just do what you want to do. If something happens, there is still me to protect you."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi was delighted. She tiptoed and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, Husband!"

Fu Chen’an was stunned by the sudden kiss. It took him a while to regain his composure before asking, "Did you come just to tell me this?"

"I came to send you ginger licorice tea, jianbing, and thermal underwear. The weather is cold and dry, so you should drink some to soothe your throat."
