Chapter 338: Chapter 334 Qi Chunlan Full of Heart Fire
——————
Xie Jingchen’s only "request" was known to Yan Dongsheng immediately after he left.
After completing the bail procedures, he instructed his eldest son to keep an eye on the younger one, and followed the military vehicle, sending his wife back to their home in the capital. freēnovelkiss.com
At this point, Qi Chunlan, after being reminded by Yan Dongsheng to take a Diazepam sleeping pill, was relatively calm on the way back to the capital.
To better take care of his wife, who had lost control of her emotions and had gone mad, Yan Dongsheng had directly assigned two junior officers to guard her.
He also arranged for two sturdy elderly women from the old family house to help the junior officers watch over Qi Chunlan.
Currently, Qi Chunlan was also semi-retired, so there was no need for her to go to the Art Troupe anymore.
Yan Dongsheng, being a Rong District Chief, has a very important role, and he couldn’t always take leave to look after his family or wife.
Fortunately, the Yan family has always been well-off, and they could afford to hire maids.
As a commander equivalent to Rong District Chief, he also had the authority to deploy junior officers.
When Qi Chunlan finally sobered up from the medication and truly awoke, she found herself back at the home in the capital, only to find herself lying powerless in bed!
"Elder Yan, Elder Yan!" Qi Chunlan just woke up, but found no one in the room, and without even caring about her thirst, she called out loudly.
"Ah~ I’m coming, please wait." The maid, alerted by the junior officer that the lady had awakened, hurried upstairs and upon entering the room, saw the mistress’ face turning blue with rage!
"Madam, you’re awake, the Rong District Chief has gone to the military." Saying that, the maid, unafraid of her fury, came forward to help her up, gave her a couple sips of water, and then let her lie down again—
"Wait a minute, help me get up, I need to go to the hospital!" Seeing that it was Aunt Qiu, who usually took care of Mr. Yan, Qi Chunlan managed to control her temper, only speaking in a cold voice.
No one really told Qi Chunlan that Yan Jinhao had taken Yan Jinsi to X County of Rong District.
"Uh, Madam, the eldest son has taken the younger son to visit the young lady."
"Young lady? Did Yan Jinxian come over again?" Qi Chunlan paused in her movements, hesitantly asking.
Thinking of that fake daughter who resembled her by sixty or seventy percent, Qi Chunlan’s mood worsened.
Such a similar daughter, yet to be fake, it’s just disgusting!
"Uh... the young masters went to X County’s Rong District."
Although Zhang Shanni hadn’t officially returned to the Yan family, besides Elder Yan, the entire Yan family knew that the young lady of the Yan family had been replaced, and the original Yan Jinxian couldn’t enter the Yan family anymore.
Elder Yan had been recovering well in the sanatorium recently, and Yan Dongsheng was thinking about discussing the matter of ’switching the prince with a pawn’ with his father when he returned.
Unfortunately, with Qi Chunlan causing such a fuss, would Zhang Shanni still want to return to Yan family?
All the Yan family men were now unsettled.
"What?" Qi Chunlan forcefully grabbed Aunt Qiu, her face filled with anger and shock as she demanded an answer.
"I..."
Aunt Qiu was startled by the lady’s manner; the Rong District Chief had merely mentioned that the lady was in a bad mood and told her to keep a close eye on her—
"Nonsense, who does she think she is acting like a little miss? Don’t ever mention her again!" Qi Chunlan shrieked.
Aunt Qiu was confused momentarily, then hesitantly nodded, "Oh... I understand."
"Aunt Qiu, please leave us for now." Yan Dongsheng stood at the doorway, having witnessed his wife’s loss of control, before finally speaking.
He had returned home according to his usual schedule. He had felt quite pleased when he heard from Little Rong downstairs that his wife had awakened. But as soon as he reached the doorway of their room, that pleasure vanished completely.
"Old Yan!" Qi Chunlan was leaning against the headboard, but unfortunately, she was feeling weak in her arms and legs and had no strength throughout her body. Seeing the ominously dark expression on her husband’s face, she screamed out loud.
Yan Dongsheng saw that everyone had left before he silently stepped into the room, seeing his wife’s face devoid of any remorse, instead spoke in a sharper tone, feeling very disappointed in his heart.
"Chun Lan, remember, Zhang Shanni is now the young miss of the Yan family. In the future, she will bear the Yan surname!"
Yan Dongsheng stood steadfast five meters away from the bed, bent his head to look at his wife who sat paralyzed at the bedside, and spoke solemnly.
"I won’t accept it, I can’t! Old Yan, her heart is dark, she never considered how Shishi was dragged to the brink of death by her!" Qi Chunlan sharply countered in a scream.
The woman who was once gentle as water, due to this family turmoil and her younger son’s illness, his wife, was walking toward a dead end...
"Chun Lan! Shishi’s illness was not caused by her! If we really need to blame someone, it’s us, the parents, for not taking good care of Shishi! She is the most innocent child! Stop being blinded!"
"No, it’s not, Old Yan, at that time, if she hadn’t taken all of Shishi’s nutrition, how could Shishi have been born with such frailty? It’s all her fault—"
"And what about you? Are you free of fault? Didn’t you know Shishi has always been ill from a young age? Where were you at that time? You shift all the blame onto your daughter, don’t you feel any guilt at all?"
Yan Dongsheng stared at her disappointedly, only to see Qi Chunlan’s face suddenly turn purplish, her eyes glaring sharply at her husband as she gasped for air and bellowed:
"I knew it, you all blame me! Am I wrong? I was merely seeing off my mother, I had no idea I would give birth prematurely! Even if I focused on my work, I still cared about the children—"
"No, Chun Lan, remember, before your Mother-in-law passed away, she specifically asked your uncle to call you, to have you come back to mourn after the birth! Even about the premature birth, your gynecologist had told me back then, asking you not to diet and to take good care of your pregnancy! But what did you do?"
"I..." Qi Chunlan, intimidated by her husband’s sharp gaze, physically recoiled in fear, her lips trembling, unsure how to reply—when did her husband find out?
Overwhelmed by guilt, Qi Chunlan could only feel the burning of rage inside her, with her thoughts tossing and turning:
Returning to her parental home was indeed her own stubborn decision, but it was to observe mourning for the elderly, and ultimately it led to her premature delivery. Although her husband didn’t say much afterwards, she later realized that his time spent at the army had increased.
Eventually, the pattern of interaction between husband and wife had become fixed, and trying to salvage it was futile by then.
As for the dieting, that was because, three months postpartum, there was a major competition held by the Rong District Art Troupe, and she feared that her figure wouldn’t recover in time, hence she controlled her diet.
She had never expected that her husband would know about this!
So, was the reason for his coldness over the years, because he knew she hadn’t been a good mother?
"Chun Lan, I have always been giving you a chance, hoping you would be a good ’mother,’ but you have continually disappointed me." Yan Dongsheng’s gaze stayed on her, gradually shifting away, and fell on the only black and white photo of them as a couple—
