After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 316 Sweet Life After Marriage
Bei Yan knocked on the door. "Master, could you please call Madam for me? I have something to discuss."

Pei Yuan was furious. "What is it that you had to come all the way here so early in the morning to tell me?"

Bei Yan said from outside the door, looking very aggrieved, "It's all because yesterday Madam told me to come and wake her up at this time today. She said that starting today, she will teach Da Bao and Xiao Bao martial arts."

"what?"

Pei Yuan stared in shock at Su Xiaoxiao lying on the bed. Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly got up, not daring to delay any longer.

She did indeed tell Bei Yan to come and fetch her. Su Xiaoxiao had never forgotten about teaching the children martial arts, especially when Da Bao and Xiao Bao came crying last night, Su Xiaoxiao felt particularly distressed.

Thinking about how pitiful the two children would be without support if she were no longer by their side, she was determined to teach them martial arts before then.

Su Xiaoxiao specially took them to the training ground of the general's mansion. This was the place where Pei Yuan used to train some elite soldiers, but it was now empty and no one was using it.

While training her two children in martial arts, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that Da Bao and Xiao Bao actually had different strengths in various aspects.

For example, Xiaobao is very talented. She is still young, so it's the perfect time for her to start practicing martial arts.

Moreover, once they're in the capital, the people they encounter become increasingly complex, and it's truly unpredictable that someone might come to harm Su Xiaoxiao and her family one day. At that point, the two children might become Su Xiaoxiao's Achilles' heel.

Actually, given Su Xiaoxiao's personality, she initially didn't want to be so strict with her two children, thinking that with her financial means, they could be allowed to do whatever they wanted in the future.

You don't necessarily have to learn martial arts, but it seems that the world doesn't always follow so many rules. Sometimes, physical skills are what really matter.

Regardless of the circumstances, knowing some martial arts skills can at least help you protect yourself when you encounter danger.

Su Xiaoxiao made a decision: now that they had started training, she would be strict with Da Bao and Xiao Bao.

As for Xiaobao, she truly is a genius.

At just over three years old, he's already getting better and better at standing meditation every day without Su Xiaoxiao's supervision.

Su Pingan would sometimes come over to help Su Xiaoxiao teach the two children, and he would also advise Su Xiaoxiao not to be too strict, as the children were still young.

Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't listen. "Brother, how old were you when you started practicing martial arts to have such skills today?"

Su Ping'an was speechless when asked the question. Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "Actually, I don't want to treat the two children like this either. I know they are still young, but the environment we are in now is too dangerous. This is for their own good."

Even while rigorously training her children, Su Xiaoxiao didn't forget to take them out for a break from time to time.

For example, they can go out to buy some delicious food, or go somewhere to have some fun. Anyway, they have quite a few places to go in Beijing now.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that although the capital city was very developed, they grew very few crops and couldn't even get imported food.

Perhaps she hadn't found a market in the foreign lands that sold these things yet, but Su Xiaoxiao was craving something sweet and sour, especially bright red persimmons.

The tomato seeds she brought were missed, and it's too late to plant them now.

After many twists and turns, Su Xiaoxiao finally found tomato seedlings in the home of a wealthy family in Beijing. It turned out that the family didn't intend to eat them; they just used them to pickle pumpkins for decoration, and even treated them like treasures.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't use her status as the general's wife to pressure others into handing it over.

Furthermore, Su Xiaoxiao felt that these ornamental tomato seedlings, kept indoors for so long, couldn't withstand the sunlight and rain, and would definitely taste terrible. Su Xiaoxiao thought of Bruce; it would be great to see him in Beijing. Bruce always brought back lots of Western fruits when he returned from his hometown, and they were truly delicious.

That day, after finishing his official business, Pei Yuan said to Su Xiaoxiao, "We haven't gone out together since we got married. Come on, I'll take you to Baxianlou Restaurant for dinner."

The moment Baxianlou was mentioned, Su Xiaoxiao immediately thought of Qian Musheng.

I wonder what Qian Musheng has been busy with lately? Su Xiaoxiao knows that Pei Yuan used to hate Qian Musheng. Whenever he saw Qian Musheng, he would inexplicably throw a tantrum, and his jealous temper was extremely unpleasant.

On the way, Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao sat in the carriage, and he looked at the excited Su Xiaoxiao from the opposite side.

He frowned. "Why are you so happy?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I'm only happy because I'm out having fun with you. I've been so bored staying in the General's Mansion these past few days."

"That's not right. You're only happy because I took you to the Eight Immortals Restaurant, isn't that it?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Pei Yuan. "What are you talking about? You were the one who insisted on bringing me to Baxianlou Restaurant for dinner, and you wouldn't let me bring the kids. It was just the two of us. And now you're complaining about me like this?"

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry and turned away, ignoring Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly came over to coax him.

"I brought you here because I knew you liked the food at Baxianlou Restaurant. Besides, you're now the General's wife, so you must remember to be mindful of your image when you go out, understand?"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly became serious and said, "Yes, I am the general's wife. But I don't remember when you ever demanded so many rules from me. If you say another word of nonsense, I might as well not be the wife!"

Su Xiaoxiao was just as temperamental as Pei Yuan. When Pei Yuan saw that Su Xiaoxiao was really angry this time, he quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, that's not what I meant."

"By the way, if I'm often away fighting in the future and not at home, you won't go out and date some handsome guy, will you?"

"Huh? Saburo, is that what you think of me?"

"Although, alas, it's all your fault, you lecherous scoundrel..."

"Didn't you say you only liked me because of my looks?"

Pei Yuan looked a little aggrieved.

"What kind of talk is that? When I saved you, I didn't see you as a handsome guy at all. Your face was covered in blood."

Pei Yuan thought to himself, "That makes sense."

"But I only decided to save you after I cleaned you up and found out you were actually a handsome guy."

"what?"

Pei Yuan was so angry that he wanted to hit Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao smiled to herself and thought, "I'm so lucky. I never thought that the man I picked up would be such a handsome guy, and an absolutely handsome one at that."

Such good fortune could only be enjoyed by Su Xiaoxiao, who is blessed with good luck, right?
As the two people were sitting in the sedan chair and moving forward, someone suddenly stopped their sedan chair.
