Qiao Huaping took Bai Feiye to Zhu Shoubei's house the next day.
Yingchun and Wintersweet were holding gifts. They were some novel gadgets that Qiao Huaping found from the Baibao Pavilion, and brought them to Sun Shike to relieve his boredom.
The garrison mansion is very impressive and is located near the western suburbs of Yixiang.
Mo Qian combed the woman's hair and waited for Qiao Huaping and the others at the side door of the garrison mansion.
Mo Qian is Sun Shike's personal maid. Last year, Sun Shike made the decision to marry a young general under Zhu Shoubei.
After getting married, Mo Qian became Sun Shike's housekeeper, helping Sun Shike take care of the affairs of the yard on weekdays.
When Qiao Huaping saw Mo Qian's appearance, he felt something was wrong.
Mo Qian originally had a cheerful and lively temperament, but now he looked like he had a smile on his face, but there was a haggard look on his face and eyes that he couldn't hide even though he tried his best to hide it.
Qiao Huaping and Mo Qian were also acquaintances. As soon as they entered the side door, she asked Mo Qian in a low voice: "What's going on? What's bothering you?"
Mo Qian couldn't help but glance at Bai Feiye, who was being led by Qiao Huaping obediently. He lowered his eyes and said with a choked voice, "It's okay for me to bother you."
Since Mo Qian didn't want to, Qiao Huaping didn't ask any more questions.
Silently all the way to the main room, Sun Shike, with her hair neatly pulled into a bun on the back of her head and wearing a dark green robe, walked out quickly from the main room.
Qiao Huaping was completely shocked when he saw Sun Shike.
During the New Year, Sun Shike sent people to give extremely generous New Year's money to several children. On the sixth day of the lunar month, Qiao Huaping came to visit Sun Shike with the New Year's gift.
Although Sun Shike was a little depressed at that time, he was definitely not as haggard as he is now.
Compared with that time, Sun Shike today can simply be described as lost.
Sun Shike held Qiao Huaping's hand, tears were about to fall: "Sister Qiao..."
However, before the tears fell, Sun Shike, who had been a mistress for more than three years, realized that she had made a mistake. She let go of Qiao Huaping's hand, turned her back, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped it gently.
Wiped away tears.
When there were no tears stains on his face, Sun Shike turned around and said with a forced smile: "Look at me, I am so happy and forgetful for a moment that I feel a little out of character. Sister Qiao, sit inside."
Sun Shike held Qiao Huaping's hand and invited her to sit in the room.
Her eyes fell on Bai Feiye, who was held in Lamei's arms, and extremely complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
Qiao Huaping frowned and said nothing.
She naturally knew what Sun Shike had been worried about for the past three years - no matter how hard she tried and how many doctors she saw, she could not conceive an heir.
The doctor looked at her and said that there was nothing wrong with her body, but it was probably because her fate had not come yet.
Qiao Huaping advised her to think about it, but Sun Shike couldn't think about it.
Even her aunt sent two pretty maids over in recent days, hinting that she asked Zhu Shoubei to keep these two maids.
Because of this, Sun Shike was envious of the five children under Qiao Huaping's knees.
After entering the house, Sun Shike opened his hand towards Bai Feiye and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Little Aye, come to give your aunt a hug?"
Bai Feiye glanced at Qiao Huaping hesitantly.
Qiao Huaping nodded, and then Bai Feiye leaned towards Sun Shike.
Sun Shike was a little excited, and the hand holding Bai Feiye trembled slightly, and even hugged him tighter and tighter.
Bai Feiye struggled a little, with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Qiao Huaping said in time: "Shike, little Aye has been a little heavy recently, let Lamei hold it for you."
Wintersweet stepped forward, stretched out her arms towards Sun Shike, and called out: "Madam."
Sun Shike reluctantly handed Bai Feiye into the hands of Wintersweet. She tried her best to soften her voice: "...Sister Qiao, when spring comes, many flowers bloom in the garden. Let Mo Qian lead Wintersweet and little Aye.
Let’s take a look in the garden?”
Qiao Huaping knew that this was to send someone away and to talk to her alone if he had anything to say.
Qiao Huaping nodded and asked Bai Feiye: "Listen to your sister Lamei, okay?"
Bai Feiye's voice was soft and very well-behaved: "I know."
Sun Shike even looked at Bai Feiye several times with a bit of lust.
Lamei took the order, took Bai Feiye, and went out with Mo Qian.
After the door was closed, only Sun Shike and Qiao Huaping were left in the room. Sun Shike sat back in the chair, with a complicated expression and a hoarse voice, and whispered: "Sister Qiao, Xueyun is pregnant. It's been two months."
Regarding this result, Qiao Huaping actually had some guesses when she saw Sun Shike and Mo Qian looking so haggard.
