Chapter 251 The Child In Her Belly
Rong Huazheng stared, "..."

"Actually, your former husband should have treated you well, seeing how you love to spend money..."

"..." Rong Huazheng gritted his teeth, "Why are there so many nonsense, if you give money, you will give money, if you don't give it, you won't give it!"

Qiao Tao glanced at her, and lightly took out a stack of bank notes from his arms.

Rong Huazheng snatched them all, counted them, and laughed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sect master!"

The silver bills in her hand are enough to support the expenses of all the people in a city for a whole year. Rong Huazheng has to admit that Qiao Tao is actually very generous, not those penny-pinching roosters.

After that, after getting the silver ticket, Qiao Tao got busy, and followed Rong Huazheng to get busy. The busiest time was that Rong Huazheng followed Qiao Tao out of Kyoto, and went back and forth to several cities by boat.

At first, Rong Huazheng thought that the capital was Qiao Tao's residence, but later he realized that it was just one of his residences in the capital. It is said that he seems to have several residences in every city in the country of Ying, but that is the capital. one of the .

Qiao Tao didn't intend to let Rong Huazheng, a pregnant woman, go with her this time around, but Rong Huazheng was not only nervous, she wanted to follow her face. If you don't agree, you will have to take her with you in the end.

Then, after leaving the capital, almost everyone saw a pregnant woman with the always cold Master Qiao.

Afterwards, Rong Huazheng received a lot of attention.

However, Rong Huazheng really likes this kind of life, there are many things to do, the mind is full, and the days go by quickly.

In this way, after leaving Kyoto for three months, she came back by boat. At this time, Rong Huazheng's belly was more than eight months old.

When he came back, Rong Huazheng had a hard face and didn't want to come back. Qiao Tao actually didn't want her to take the boat with a big belly, so he didn't force her. He met a man who had been in the rivers and lakes at his place for a long time, and he passed by here today. friends just went back.

However, for some reason, his friend seemed to have something on his mind that day, so he evasively mentioned the pregnant woman beside him.

Qiao Tao has been friends with that person for several years. The real identity of that person is quite noble, but he is also a person who loves to live among flowers. He also knows that he just got married a few months ago and abandoned his wife and son. I haven't done it, but I should have left a lot of romantic debts, so at that time he said calmly, "That's your sister-in-law, why do you ask her?"

His friend's eyes widened, "You know she is my sister-in-law?! Then you still..."

Qiao Tao saw anger, surprise, and disappointment on his face, his heart moved a bit, and he said, "What is it if my wife is not your sister-in-law?"

His friend's peach blossom eyes widened, "...your wife?! The child in her belly..."

Qiao Tao saw that his face suddenly turned pale with fright, and felt weird, but he became more calm, "You think she's cuckolding me?"

"..." His friend was stunned and didn't say a word. His face was snow-white and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He didn't know what he was afraid of.

Qiao Tao looked at him with cold black eyes, "What are you worried about?"

His friend was stunned, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses. As if he had figured it out, he grabbed his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "You...don't go back to the capital anymore."

Qiao Tao looked at him, but didn't speak.

His friend's complexion was not very good-looking, as if he wanted to lose his soul, he kept drinking non-stop, got drunk, and asked Qiao Tao to send someone to send him away in a sedan chair.

Of course Rong Huazheng didn't know about this matter, she was still debating whether she should go back to the capital or not, those few days had been rare and quiet, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Qiao Tao decided to go back to Kyoto the next morning after meeting his friend. He had his things ready and went back on the boat early in the morning, but Rong Huazheng appeared earlier than him in front of the carriage heading to the pier, with his shoulders With a burden.

Seeing this, Qiao Tao raised his eyebrows tightly, but did not speak.

Although the child in Ronghua's zither was protected by old man Xiguang's spirit, it was already eight months old, and the boat ride was still a bit painful for her.She has been throwing up almost every day since she got on the boat. She vomits when she is full, and eats when she vomits. She repeats this kind of thing almost every day on the boat.

After a few days on the boat, her face became haggard.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Tao looked at her meaningfully once, and said lightly, "I really don't know why you worked so hard to return to Beijing."

Rong Huazheng had just vomited at that time, and his face was already pale, but when he said that, his face was as pale as paper.

"It will take half a month to return to the capital, and the midwives are not ready for the things needed for childbirth." Qiao Tao looked at her coldly, "There is not even a maid to serve you once."

Rong Huazheng rinsed his mouth, sat on a chair and drank soup, "Do I need to prepare for these things?"

"..." Qiao Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how many young women die each year because of dystocia?"

Rong Huazheng looked at him eagerly, looked at him for a long time, and said, "You care about me so much?" What a joke, how could she let herself die of dystocia?

Qiao Taojun's face darkened, and several blue veins twitched on his forehead, "Don't be so affectionate here, who cares about you anymore, you are just the master of the ledger of my school, and you have been looking at the ledger for the past few months. , if you suddenly leave, who will take over your work?"

Rong Huazheng smiled relaxedly, "Isn't it also confinement after giving birth, anyway, it is impossible for me to focus on work in the next six months."

"..."

Rong Huazheng blinked, "Could it be that you want to dismiss me because of this?"

Qiao Tao was speechless.

Rong Hua Zheng smiled: "..."

The corners of Qiao Tao's lips twitched, and he suddenly said: "Zheng'er, can I accept you as a righteous sister?"

Rong Huazheng froze for a moment.

To be honest, she never thought about recognizing someone as a righteous brother. After all, he has a younger brother, but when he was in Zhulang Mountain, old man Xiguang said that there was no hope for her in her natal family in this life. no blood,

Although she has a younger brother, she is old after all, and it will take at least a few more years to rely on her younger brother, so she has been suggesting that she find a righteous brother in the future.

Rong Huazheng has never thought of relying on others, even if she has to raise a child by herself in the future, she never feels anything, as long as it is her child, she will not complain about being tired.She had always thought this way, but for some reason, Qiao Tao's suggestion moved her heart a bit.

Her mind was spinning rapidly, she was alone now, even if she had a younger brother, she would not dare to go back to him rashly, she could be said to be unaccompanied.Of course, what she cared about was not this, but that her child was about to be born, and she was the only one who gave birth, and she might be doomed to have no father to love her for the rest of her life. So, it would be a good thing if there was one more uncle to love the child.

However, although her heart was moved, there was a trace of doubt in her heart, she frowned and said, "Master, why?"

Qiao Tao closed his eyes lightly, and said, "I used to have a younger sister, but something happened during the dystocia, which hit my parents hard."

Rong Huazheng raised her eyebrows, "You want to find a substitute?"

"Of course not! Why do you really think so?!" Qiao Tao frowned, "Actually, your personalities are very similar, but she is not like you. She is as gentle as water, virtuous and gentle. How can you be such a shameless person like you who jumps up and down, pregnant The child is still on a boat? You have nothing alike!"

Rong Huazheng raised her eyebrows, "Then why..."

Qiao Tao gritted his teeth, "Forget it if you don't want to!"

Why, there are so many whys in this world, he did this just to follow his inner thoughts.

If you really want to talk about why, it may be that she has too strong calculation ability, too high improvement in martial arts, and too good medical skills. A single needle can cure his old disease, or she can eat and drink a lot after eating every day, and vomits. She is not afraid of suffering and continues to eat, or she is obviously suffering so badly but she is still smiling at people...

Although such a person is not a lady of the family, although she is not the kind of admirable woman in her family, she is enough to make people feel distressed and likeable.

He thought that what his parents wanted most was such a daughter.

Rong Huazheng looked at Qiao Tao silently for a while, then stretched out her hand, with a smile on her face, "Brother Qiao, please give me your advice from now on."

After recognizing Qiao Tao as a righteous brother, there were still some changes between the two of them.

This change is of course good for Rong Huazheng, the specific performance...

There are two more waiters around her, so she doesn't have to reach out to him for money every time she uses money, and what she lacks has been taken care of without asking. In addition, the relationship between the two seems to be quite different Much closer.Not long after that day, Rong Huazheng has almost no restrictions on him, he can say whatever he wants, play tricks whenever he wants, he will always sulk, but he never really gets angry.

And living like this, Rong Huazheng's mood improved a lot, she didn't vomit much during the time on the boat, and her complexion also changed for the better.

Day by day passed, seeing that the ship was about to dock, for some reason, Rong Huazheng began to feel restless.

Although Qiao Tao is not a considerate person, his relationship with Rong Huazheng is unquestionable. Naturally, he saw her emotions, and said lightly during the meal: "What are you nervous about?" Originally, he didn't want to go to Kyoto , Now that she's back, she's about to arrive, yet she hesitates again.

Qiao Tao didn't understand what she was afraid of, what she was nervous about.

Qiao Tao knew that she had been abandoned for so long, if she really wanted to get back together, then she wouldn't have not appeared for so long.

After such a long time, did she still not let go at all, just arriving at the city where he was, her mood fluttered?

Ronghua Zheng moved his mouth and chewed some tasteless rice grains, raised his eyes for a long time before opening his mouth cautiously: "Brother Qiao, if I told you to turn the boat back now, would you rather choose to throw me directly into the sea to feed you?" fish?"

Qiao Tao said coldly, "Absolutely."

Rong Huazheng was depressed for a moment, and pouted: "I don't have any love for my compatriots at all. As expected, blood relationship is the most important thing."

Qiao Tao gritted his teeth, "Just say one more word and I'll throw you into the sea right now!"

Rong Huazheng stuck out her tongue and snorted, "Okay, okay, stop talking, why are you so fierce!"

Qiao Tao snorted, and asked lightly: "The boat will dock around noon tomorrow, and you will definitely pass by Jingdu Street tomorrow. What do you want to sell and go back to prepare?"
