Only Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were left in the room. Huan took Lu Lingqi back to the room to talk. Zhen Mi was lying in Yuan Xi's arms with a smile in her eyes, "Husband, don't you go and see Mrs. Wu?"
Yuan Xi put his hand on Zhen Mi's lower abdomen, as if feeling the heartbeat of the little life inside, and said, "Stay with Madam for a while."
He said awkwardly: "Mr. Yuanhua kept his promise to his wife. He didn't tell me about my wife's pregnancy until the matter in Huaicheng was settled. He was very sincere."
Zhen Mi chuckled and said, "Mr. Yuanhua did a great job."
"I'm just afraid that my husband's concern will cause chaos and delay important events."
Yuan Xi thought that this was indeed the case. If he learned that Zhen Mi was pregnant, he would always want to get things done and rush back as soon as possible. He was afraid that it would affect his decision-making in Huaicheng. If he made a mistake in his haste, he would be in big trouble.
He put his arm around Zhen Mi's shoulders and said, "It's been half a year since I left. I didn't expect it to go by so fast. I did a lot of things during that time, but the sense of accomplishment after they were completed was not as great as the surprise that my wife gave me with her pregnancy."
"Even my father... Mr. Benchu was very happy to hear the news that my wife was pregnant."
Now, among the three sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Tan has a daughter who is not yet married, and Yuan still has no heirs. The issue of his heirs also troubles Yuan Shao.
Now that Zhen Mi was pregnant, Yuan Shao couldn't hide his surprise when he learned about it. However, as a result, the situation of the Yuan family may not change again in the future.
It is strange to say that although the living conditions of the children of aristocratic families are relatively good, being able to give birth to a boy and raise him to adulthood depends largely on luck. Many children of aristocratic families have many concubines, but they have no male heirs, resulting in
The issue of heirs has long troubled major families.
Not to mention that in today's world, disasters and wars are frequent, epidemics are rampant, and accidents occur frequently in a peaceful world. Not to mention that in troubled times, life is difficult and it is common for nobles to die unexpectedly, let alone future generations.
This is also the reason why widows who have given birth to boys are extremely popular and can easily remarry. After all, for a big family, the inheritance of incense is the most important thing.
Zhen Mi smiled half-heartedly, "I'm not sure whether it's a boy or a girl."
"And there is not only one concubine, but also Mrs. Wu."
Yuan Xi touched his nose in embarrassment and was speechless. He didn't dare to let outsiders know about Mrs. Wu's identity now. If it spread too early, it might not be a good thing for him and Mrs. Wu.
Seeing this, Zhen Mi pushed Yuan Xi and said with a chuckle: "Go and see your Mrs. Wu quickly, don't let people think it's my concubine who is causing trouble."
Yuan Xi stood up nervously, left the house, went to Mrs. Wu's door and knocked.
After a while, the door of the house slowly opened. Yuan Xi looked up and saw no one in front of him. He almost thought it was haunted. When he looked down, he immediately burst into laughter.
I saw Sun Shangxiang, who had two pigtails standing on end, struggling to open the door. He raised his head and looked at himself timidly. His two big black eyes suddenly flashed very smartly. Looking at this, he was probably still confused and did not recognize Yuan Xilai.
Yuan Xi laughed, lifted Sun Shangxiang up high, and spun around twice. Sun Shangxiang felt this familiar movement, and then he recognized Yuan Xi, stretched out his arms, and giggled.
Yuan Xi put Sun Shangxiang on his shoulders and walked into the room. He saw Mrs. Wu sitting on the couch with a blanket on her knees. She turned around with a little difficulty and said to Yuan Xi: "I'm sorry for inconvenience, I'm rude.
"
Yuan Xi put Sun Shangxiang down and sat on the couch. He naturally took Mrs. Wu's hand and said, "I heard that Mrs. Wu is ill. Have you ever seen a doctor?"
Mrs. Wu's face turned red, but this time she didn't retract her hand like before. She just let Yuan Xi hold her hand and said softly: "I've seen it, it's a bit cold. Young Master, you'd better go back, so as not to spread the news."
Give me your illness to the young master."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I have been fighting on the battlefield and marching in heavy rain these days. How can I be so fragile? Madam, don't worry."
Mrs. Wu also heard that Yuan Xi had done a lot of great things that shocked the world in the past six months, and whispered: "Young Master has worked hard, just come back."
Yuan Xi saw a depressed look on Mrs. Wu's face, and comforted her: "It's Mrs. Wu who is doing the hard work."
"Madam, you are worried all day long. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone you want to talk to, right?"
"Besides, Madam must also miss her hometown from time to time, right?"
Mrs. Wu's eyes turned red and she nodded slightly.
Yuan Xi felt uncomfortable and sighed: "Madam, don't worry, I have made peace with Bo Fu. This secret is only known to a few people in the house, and it will definitely not damage my reputation."
"After the New Year, I'll see if I can find an opportunity to send my wife back secretly."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu showed some joy, but she found that for some reason, she still felt a little lost in her heart?
She was suddenly alerted that this kind of warmth seemed to be something she had never experienced in the past twenty years, as if the age gap of more than ten years between herself and the man in front of her had been erased.
She even had a sinful thought. The age difference was only twelve or thirteen years, so it shouldn't be too much, right?
The two of them felt the warmth in their hands at that time and sat in silence, letting time pass by little by little.
Sun Shangxiang ate his fingers and looked at the two of them curiously, first at Yuan Xi and then at Mrs. Wu, his eyes full of curiosity.
Mrs. Wu suddenly became aware of the existence of Sun Shangxiang, the light bulb, and hurriedly retracted her fingers and turned away.
When Yuan Xi saw it, he couldn't help laughing, pulled Sun Shangxiang into his arms, and teased her.
Mrs. Wu listened to Yuan Xi telling Sun Shangxiang about what he saw and heard in Black Mountain. In his words, it was a completely different scene from the Jiangnan water town.
Unlike the rivers everywhere, there are towering peaks and lush forests, stacked from dark green to deep black, like the mouth of a beast, devouring people who rashly enter.
In the mountains and forests, there are not only man-eating tigers, leopards, and wolves, but also annoying mosquitoes and poisonous ants. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
Yuan Xi led the army, led by the local guide from Montenegro, to chase the general from Montenegro. After a long journey, when everyone thought he had lost his way, he was at the end of his rope. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened up. He actually walked out of the mountains and came to the majestic
In front of the valley between the mountains.
Beyond the valley is an endless plain with grasslands, rivers, and running wild horses. The world is suddenly vast.
Sun Shangxiang and Mrs. Wu both listened with rapt attention. Sun Shangxiang said with a milky voice: "Can I go and see it in the future?"
Yuan Xi laughed, hugged Sun Shangxiang and said, "As long as you want it, you can do it."
Sun Shangxiang bit her finger, "But if my mother gives me another younger brother or sister, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the fragrance."
Yuan Xi and Mrs. Wu looked at each other awkwardly and said, "No, my mother loves you so much."
Axiang nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'm going out to play. You two can have a chat!"
After saying that, she twisted her body, jumped a few steps and walked out of the door, closing the door at the same time.
Mrs. Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This child is getting more and more naughty."
When Yuan Xi saw that Sun Shangxiang was only four or five years old, but was agile and agile, he was amazed and said, "This child has the potential to practice martial arts."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "What kind of martial arts do girls practice? However, this child is quite talented in Wuqinxi. Mr. Yuanhua even praised her."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "That's it. If you want to achieve something, talent, hard work and opportunity are all indispensable. But this child is uniquely blessed. Who knows what will happen in the future."
"And there are also some outstanding women. Miss Wen Hou and the Black Mountain Captain Yang Feng are all outstanding among them. I'm afraid there are only a handful of men in the world who can defeat them."
When he talked about Yang Feng, his heart moved and he asked Mrs. Wu: "What do you think of Mrs. Sun?"
Mrs. Wu didn't react for a while and sighed: "How can you think of it? I am a member of the Sun family. Now I have lost my integrity. Now I am just living an ignoble life."
Yuan Xi saw that Mrs. Wu was deeply troubled, so why not take a strong dose of medicine?
He said: "I heard that Madam was forced to get married back then, but she had no choice but to do so?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes at Yuan Xi and said, "Don't mention the past anymore. You can't be much better."
Yuan Xi sweated profusely and said, "I really didn't mean it!"
Mrs. Wu said: "What if you were awake at that time?"
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's not like this now."
Mrs. Wu lowered her head and rubbed the blanket with her hands. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she heard Yuan Xi say: "But I think this is the best result."
"Madam is still young, it's not too late."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu had a smile on her face that she didn't even notice, "I'm already an old lady, you don't have to comfort me against your conscience."
Yuan Xi thought to himself that I was telling the truth. There will be a lot of unmarried women in the next generation.
He smiled and said: "As time goes by, you will see people's hearts. Sooner or later, madam, you will understand my feelings."
"Actually, what I just asked was, how far does Madam think the Sun family can go under the leadership of Bo Fu?"
"Madam, how far do you think Sun will be in the end?"
"The lord of a county and the princes of one side are granted the title of king and duke, or so?"
Mrs. Wu was startled and quickly put her finger to her mouth, "Silence!"
"Is this possible?"
"The Sun family doesn't want to have the disaster of annihilation!"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Madam, do you think what you are thinking must be what Bo Fu is thinking?"
Mrs. Wu was speechless. She turned to Yuan Xi and said, "What about you?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi turned his head and reached out to push open the window beside him.
The birds outside the window were frightened, jumped down from the branches, turned slightly, then flew into the sky, turned into a small dot, and then disappeared.
Yuan Xi looked at the sky and said: "The ground has the scenery on the ground, the branches have the scenery on the branches, and the sky has the scenery in the sky."
"I want to see the scenery from high places."
Mrs. Wu was silent for a while and said softly: "Flying too high, you will face not only the warm spring sun, but also violent storms."
Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Yes, the higher you fly, the more things you do and the greater the risks."
"But there are still countless birds flying into the sky every day, hoping to compete with God."
Mrs. Wu sighed softly, "I already knew that the young master has lofty aspirations."
"But this road is not easy to walk."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "So I am also hesitant. If it falls, many people will be implicated."
"But if I climb to a high place, so high that no one dares to criticize me, then my wife will never be able to escape from my grasp."
Mrs. Wu's pretty face turned red and she snorted, "Young Master is so shameless."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if Madam goes back, maybe one day when I come to greet Madam again, no one in the world will dare to criticize us."
Mrs. Wu's heart trembled, but she slowly turned sideways. Yuan Xi understood and gently held Mrs. Wu in his arms.
Mrs. Wu felt relaxed. Whether it was a lie, a dream, or a delusion that would never come to fruition, at least the arms hugging her now were warm.
