Chapter 23 Punishment
  Only then did Mrs. Xiao have time to ask about the whole incident.

"Even if she beats your maid, it's only a normal thing for a master to teach a slave. But it's not okay for you to beat her! During these days, you can go to the Buddhist hall in the mansion and kneel down, go Be angry."

Bihua was her only daughter and the only young lady in the Xiao family. How could she be beaten by a merchant's daughter!

Hua Qingmu expected that she would say this, so she said calmly: "I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law can't go at this time."

Danzhu stepped forward and reported back: "Mrs. Xiao, our wife is happy."

This sentence immediately blew up the scene.

"What?!" Xiao Yuankai was shocked and stunned.

Then a hint of murderous intent leaked from his fierce eyes, which turned calm for a moment, but could not escape Hua Qingmu's eyes.

Lin Yitong did not expect that Hua Qingmu would reveal such breaking news. She almost screamed on the spot, her eyes were so jealous that she twisted her hands tightly together under her sleeves.

If looks could kill, Hua Qingmu would have died hundreds of times now!

Xiao Bihua was equally unwilling.

"How could you be pregnant with my brother's child! Then..." What should Sister Yitong do? The rest of the words were swallowed back in Xiao Yuankai's eyes.

Mrs. Xiao didn't have much joy on her face. She felt that it was Kai'er's first child, so she would still call her grandmother.

At this moment, she stopped thinking about punishing Qingmu by kneeling down, and only fined her half a year's worth of money.

"No! Mom, she beat her daughter in public, how could she let her go so easily!"

Xiao Bihua refused.

Mr. Xiao also felt that the punishment was light, so he added: "Then let's copy the "Girls' Ring" another two hundred times."

Xiao Bihua then showed a satisfied smile.

When Hua Qingmu brought Danzhu back to Fufengyuan, Qingyu had been lingering at the door for a while, and she hurriedly greeted them when she saw them.

"Madam, Danzhu, are you okay?"

Hua Qingmu shook her head, "Nothing."

I had something on my mind, so I put my whole body in the giant cradle in the yard and stayed alone quietly.

Today she revealed her pregnancy. Seeing how Xiao Yuankai hated and helpless her, she was afraid that there might be something else that needed the Hua family's help recently.

What could it be? My parents had already donated over one million taels to Xiao Yuankai as a gift to the Holy One to appease the victims in the Jianghuai area.

Nothing big happens now.

Could it be related to the war in Beilin?
  This battle was fought for many years in the previous life, and both sides were unable to succeed.

Until she found out she was pregnant two months after marrying Xiao Yuankai, Xiao Yuankai asked the Hua family to continuously contribute money to Nanji on the pretext of accumulating blessings for the child.

The Hua family also thinks that if their son-in-law is taken seriously, their daughter and nephew will live a better life in the future, so they have always supported him.

The imperial concubine's party and Xiao Yuankai took the lead and personally recommended that Ding'an Hou, who had regained the emperor's favor, lead the army. They fought for two years and finally completely defeated Beilin, ensuring that no invasion would be possible within ten years.

Ding'an Hou Mansion also received more attention from the Holy Emperor.

Before she died, Xiao Yuankai was about to become a marquis!

Thinking of this, Hua Qingmu suddenly felt enlightened, and she knew what to do.

I plan to get up and walk around to make Jintai feel more comfortable.

Just when she stood up, her head suddenly felt dizzy, and she felt a pair of big hands suddenly hug her waist.

"What's wrong?" A low and gentle voice sounded in his ears. Hua Qingmu suddenly woke up and threw away his support in disgust.

"Why is Third Master here?"

This was the first time he came to Fufeng Garden except for the wedding night.

Xiao Yuankai's face was filled with gloom for a moment, but it quickly dissipated.

"I was so busy with government affairs that I didn't have time to see you. I didn't expect you to be pregnant. It's my husband's dereliction of duty."

Hua Qingmu laughed inwardly, fearing that she was asking for money.

Secretly sighing at how terrible this person is, he can endure anything for money!

"Third Master is serving the country, so he should be busy. I can take care of myself, Third Master doesn't have to worry."

Seeing her indifferent tone and pushing him away, Xiao Yuankai thought she was still jealous of Lin Yitong, so he stepped forward, wanting to hold her shoulders to comfort her.

But Hua Qingmu dodged it gently, and the disgust in her eyes almost couldn't be concealed and poured out.

"Third Master, please tell me if you have anything."

Xiao Yuankai's face looked ugly for a moment. Did she think he was happy to find her?

Thinking of the purpose of his coming, he kept a smile on his face and said: "Qingmu, are you still angry with Yitong? I have said that she and I only knew each other when we were children, and she and Bihua are good sisters, so That’s why you came to live in the mansion, don’t be angry.”

"If it's because of this matter, Third Master doesn't have to do it."

The more she acted like this, the more Xiao Yuankai felt that she was still angry about what happened before.

"I promised to take good care of you. Now that you have a child, don't think too much about other things. The most important thing now is the child."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but sigh: "If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, our child would definitely be blessed when he was born. But now~ Alas."

He glanced at Hua Qingmu from the corner of his eye, and saw that the latter's expression remained the same as before, seemingly unmoved by his words, and he was inevitably anxious.

Hua Qingmu suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.

He was like this in his last life, using the children in her belly to get money and food for Nanji again and again, solving Nanji's worries, and benefiting the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, but then he ruined her family!
  Shameless people are the most invincible!

"My husband is right. Now Nanji and Beilin are still at a stalemate. I heard that Ding'an Hou General Lin and Major General Lin were extremely brave. They even conquered Xisha in the first two months. I think I can also help conquer Beilin."

In the Battle of Xisha, the Lin family had at best taken a ready advantage. Who doesn’t know that all the credit belongs to King Yi!
  Hua Qingmu excused herself as she was tired and wanted to rest, and casually dismissed Xiao Yuankai for a few words before being helped into the inner room by Dan Zhu.

Seeing that she refused to let go and let the Hua family provide money no matter what, Xiao Yuankai had no choice but to throw away his sleeves in frustration.

Yanlan Court

After Yu Lan whispered a few words in Lin Yitong's ear, Lin Yitong stood up.

"What did you say?!"

Her expression was ugly. Didn't brother Yuan Kai never step into Fufeng Garden again after he got married?

He actually went today!
  Thinking that he had shown a trace of affection for that woman today, she felt so jealous that she went crazy!

Why didn’t that slap go down!

no! We can't let things develop like this, otherwise brother Yuan Kai will pay more and more attention to her!
  child! Yes, it must be because of that child that Brother Yuan Kai went to her house again!
  Thinking of this, she could no longer calm down and paced around the room.

That child must not be kept, otherwise there will be endless troubles!

Brother Yuan Kai's first child, no, all the children, can only come out of her belly!
