The general's wife through time

Chapter 356 Pregnancy

The Saint's Palace.

Si Wei knelt in front of the old lady of the Si family and told the whole story of how he and Chi Xiao became connected, mixing true and false stories.

Hearing this, the old lady of the Si family calmed down a little.

She patted her chest and finally calmed down her breathing.

scared her to death.

When she just arrived, she happened to see Si Wei and Chi Xiao flirting with each other on the kang.

She would never have thought that the elegant and upright gentleman she had raised would do such a thing.

She thought Si Wei was possessed by an evil spirit and dared to disrespect the gods.

I almost went down to see Si Wei's father just now.

The old lady of the Si family said earnestly, "Si Wei, for so many years, you have shouldered too much, including the family's glory, the rise and fall of Dajing, intrigues and deceptions, and weighing the pros and cons. You have learned to restrain yourself since you were sensible. Now you finally indulge yourself for love. Since you are willing, I will not stop you. But you have to think clearly. Even if you cannot give Chi Xiao a wedding and a legitimate identity for the sake of the overall situation, you still have to be responsible for him in the future. There is a difference between immortals and mortals. If there is really a thunder tribulation in the future, you have to help him block it. If the child born is different from others, you have to accept it silently..."

"Yes!" Si Wei was stunned. He didn't expect that I am more open-minded than him!
"Okay, I'll go back first. Take care of yourself. Don't stay in the house all the time. Go out with Chi Xiao more often to get some sun. I think that girl likes the sun."

Chi Xiao personally helped the old lady of the Si family onto the carriage and waved goodbye to her. The smile on her face deepened.

"I didn't expect that your mother is as good as the master. I am so lucky to have met you."

Si Wei rubbed Chi Xiao's head lovingly, "That's because you deserve it."

"Let me take you to the Crimson Sky. Today, the Crimson Sky is heading to the North. I will take you to look down on all living things from the sky."

Si Wei shook his head calmly, "No. It's good to be able to look down at the world from a high position, but if you see too much, you can't help but interfere in other people's lives. Xue Tang said that birth, aging, sickness and death are all predestined. If you can't bear the cause and effect for others, then don't easily interfere in other people's lives. Xue Tang will know the right balance. You and I are still a little bit behind. In the future, we will discuss small matters and live together. You should consult Xue Tang on big matters. Don't make decisions on your own. Do you understand?"

"it is good!"

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Chi Xiao's face, reflecting a flash of electricity passing through her eyes.

It was she who taught Si Wei in the past. Now Si Wei is knowledgeable, gentle, and eloquent. Listening to his words is like reading a thick history book. Today, she also listened to Si Wei's mother saying so many truths. She learned a lot and she grew up again.

At the Duan family, Duan Jingchen’s study was filled with shop owners from all over the place.

Duan Jingchu was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and the stern look between his brows was no less than that of Duan Jingchen before.

He sat behind the desk, his face solemn, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, follow the new rules of this family master. If there is any omission, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes!"

The shopkeepers below were very respectful.

After reading the new rules, they learned that the Second Young Master dealt with two shopkeepers who disobeyed orders overnight. They knew very well that the Second Young Master just liked to play before, but he was not a rookie. When Duan Jingchen was at home, the Second Young Master just liked to act like a spoiled child and eat, drink and have fun, but his ability was no worse than Duan Jingchen.

After sending everyone away, Duan Jingchu sat there stroking the paperweight that Duan Jingchen had used, the solemnity on his face never faded.

Brother, you have worked hard for the Duan family before. From now on, the Duan family will be handed over to me. Just remember to come home when you are tired.

……

The first clear snow fell in the North.

After assassinating the Tatar general, Duan Jingchen plunged into the deep mountains and forests. As soon as he entered, he found that the pursuers behind him had disappeared. Although he was confused, he continued to move forward.

The blizzard intensified before Duan Jingchen finally found a cave.

As soon as he entered, he found Wu An sitting there warming himself by the fire.

Their eyes met, and they were both startled at the same time.

Duan Jingchen: "You still don't give up? You actually followed me here?" Wu An snorted coldly, "Don't take yourself too seriously. I got lost and accidentally entered the Ghost Mist Forest. I haven't left here for two months."

Duan Jingchen suddenly realized, "No wonder those Tatars didn't dare to chase in. It turns out that this is the Ghost Mist Forest. It is said that you can only enter but not exit."

Wu An said disdainfully: "Those are all excuses made up by incompetent people. Didn't King Wu Wei just cross here and go directly to the Nanyue Kingdom, catching the Nanyue Kingdom off guard?"

Duan Jingchen crossed his arms and looked at Wu An, "By the way, how did you get here?"

Wu An: "Humph, it's because some people ran away from marriage. In order to calm His Majesty's anger, not be implicated, and not bring disaster to my family, I submitted a memorial to His Majesty, saying that I came to guard the northern border."

"Oh, so you were worried that I would bring disaster to my family, so you covered for me? Are you really in love with me?"

Wu An glared at Duan Jingchen fiercely, "Don't be so conceited. You were as dark as a bear, and now you're even rougher. No one would like you."

Duan Jingchen sat down in front of Wu An and said, "You are blind. The traces of time on my face are all evidence of my disturbance of the Tatars. Not only did I kill two of their captains and a prince, I also killed their general on the border just now. I guarantee that they will not be able to bother to provoke trouble in Dajing this year. Please respect an unknown hero like me."

"hehe!"

Duan Jingchen looked at Wu An, who was pale and thin, and felt a little sorry for him. He coughed and said, "I'll go find something to eat. When I'm full, I'll take you out. In the future, a woman shouldn't be so reckless and dare to go anywhere."

Wu An pointed outside and said, "Wait until the snow stops before going out, or I'll be buried alive. No one will talk to me anymore."

An hour later.

"Duan Jingchen, can you do this? We have just been here. Look, the footprints on the ground are still there..."

Two hours later...

"Duan Jingchen, don't go. I'm sure you're lost too."

Three hours later...

Duan Jingchen: "I just don't believe in evil. If Qin Mingyuan can get out, then I can too."

Wu An slumped down on a big rock, and finally remembered the key point, "King Wuwei has the Golden Eagle, the Overlord of the Sky, which can overlook the whole situation from the sky. With the Golden Eagle leading the way, we can get out naturally, but what do you have?"

Duan Jingchen: "..."

He has a good idea!
Compared to Qin Mingyuan, Xue Tang is even more of a workaholic and can't sit still.

In order to make it easier for Xue Tang to work, Qin Mingyuan built another study next to his own. The layout of the study was exactly the same as that of Haitangju. Qin Mingyuan also said that although Xue Tang lived with him, Haitangju had to be cleaned every day, as it was always ready to welcome the future owner - his future daughter.

The two of them are usually busy with their own things in the study, and only at dinner time does the whole family get together.

It is precisely because they are both successful in their careers and occasionally share their experiences after busy work, and show their affection from time to time, that Qin Mingyuan and Xue Tang's marriage has a freshness that others can't match, and even exceeds Xue Tang's expectations of happiness.

"Your sister-in-law has been sleepy since Laba. She yawned seven times after lunch yesterday and took an hour nap. Today, she slept from noon until now and didn't even have lunch. That's why I called you back."

As soon as Qin Mingyuan and Qin Mingqi stepped into the Wuwei Palace, they began to introduce Xue Tang's situation at a rapid pace.

Qin Mingqi knew that Xue Tang was in good health and that Xiaobai was at home, so he could rest assured to fight for his career in the front. After hearing what Qin Mingyuan said, he could not help but speed up his pace. "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law's physical discomfort would be so serious. Hurry!"

Qin Mingqi had just been appointed as the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau and concurrently the vice minister of the Ministry of Works. In addition, it was recently diagnosed that the empress was more than three months pregnant. He stayed in the palace every day to take orders and had not been home for half a month. If Qin Mingyuan had not personally gone to the palace to ask for permission from Emperor Jing Kang today, Qin Mingqi would probably not have been able to leave the palace.

Xue Tang was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps and Qin Mingyuan's muttering. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Mingqi looking at her worriedly.

She placed one hand on the pulse pillow for Qin Mingqi to feel her pulse, but did not move. She covered her mouth with her other hand and yawned, "Mingqi, I'm fine. Go and do your thing."

Qin Mingyuan's face was extremely bad. If it wasn't for Xue Tang, his temper would have exploded long ago. He suppressed his anxiety and asked, "Mingqi, what happened to your sister-in-law?"

Xue Tang: "I'm really fine. It's just that the baby in my belly is growing, so I naturally sleep more."

"What?!" Qin Mingyuan seemed to be under a spell and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He shouted excitedly.

Qin Mingqi could see the blue veins on his eldest brother's neck bulging with excitement. He stopped taking his pulse and nodded weakly, "My sister-in-law is more than three months pregnant."
