Qiu Mobai was invited into the front hall.

Hua Lingxuan came to see him holding Qingqing.

Qingqing saw Qiu Mobai, kicked her calves, asked Hua Lingxuan to put her down, and then ran to Qiu Mobai.

"Brother Qiu, give me a hug."

Qiu Mobai smiled and held her in his arms.

Then he took out a small box and put it into her hand.

"Give this to Qingqing to play with."

Changying, who was standing behind him, twitched her lips. For such a small thing, her master had ten most skilled embroiderers spend three days on it.

He thought his master was doing this to develop new business. After all this time, it was used to coax the little sister.

He suddenly felt that the boy might have guessed right. The master was really training his little wife personally!

If there is anything good, people will rush to give it away.

Qingqing happily opened the box and found a cloth cat with very delicate and beautiful embroidery inside.

White furry body, purple glass eyes, soft in the arms.

Qingqing liked it very much and hugged it happily.

"Thank you, Brother Qiu."

Qiu Mobai's eyes were full of tenderness. He touched Hua Qingqing's head and said, "You're welcome. As long as Qingqing likes it."

"What brings you here, Mr. Qiu?" Hua Lingxuan felt a little sour at this moment.

I feel that Qingqing is better to others than to him.

He didn't find anything wrong with Qiu Mobai being nice to Qingqing. He thought everyone in the world should be nice to Qingqing.

Qiu Mobai smiled, his eyes twinkling, "I heard from someone that the Duke is back!"

Hua Lingxuan nodded. "Yes, father is back."

Qingqing raised her head happily, wanting to share something that made her happy with Qiu Mobai, "Baby's parents are going to give birth to a baby."

Hua Lingxuan: ?(?'?'? )??????

Qiu Mobai:......

Hua Lingxuan was embarrassed and coughed lightly. He quickly explained, "My father has been on the road and is very tired. Now he is going to the inner courtyard to wash up..."

After Hua Lingxuan finished speaking, he felt that he was trying to cover up something, which only made it more obvious. He couldn't help but pick up the teacup and take a few gulps of water. Then he smiled at Qiu Mobai.

Qiu Mobai also picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and nodded.

"Yeah, I should."

“It’s my duty!”

Qingqing was looking at the little tiger at this time with a worried look on her face.

[I will have a little brother by the end of August next year. As a big sister, should I give him a gift? ]

[What should I give him? ]

[How about giving me my kitten? ]

[No, no! I like this little kitty.]

【Then give me something else. 】

[By the way, I have the most gold, so I'll just give her some. ]

After she finished thinking, she nodded vigorously.

Qiu Mobai was drinking tea crazily to cover up his mistake.

He didn't expect that Qingqing could even predict this.

Hua Lingxuan was so shocked that his eyes widened.

He was just joking with his sister, but he didn't expect that his mother would really give birth to another little brother in August next year!

This, this...

Hua Lingxuan was still thinking, completely forgetting that there were other people around him.

It was not until his servant Fengting coughed lightly that he came back to his senses.

He found that Hua Qingqing and Qiu Mobai were looking at him.

He blinked his eyes. "Where were we talking about? Master Qiu, is there something that brings you here today?"

Qiu Mobai nodded.

"Well, there is indeed something I need to talk to the Duke's wife about."

Hua Lingxuan raised his eyebrows.

"What is it? May I know?"

Qiu Mobai thought about it and nodded.

"The Bai family's father and son have been rescued. They are now in Qingyang Prefecture! I wonder if they should be sent back to Bianjing?"

Hua Lingxuan was stunned and stood up immediately.

"This is a big deal. Mr. Qiu will stay and have dinner with us later. Then, tell my parents directly."

Qiu Mobai nodded.

At dinner time, Hua Changjue had changed into clean clothes. He came to the dining room refreshed. Jiang, who was beside him, had a ruddy complexion. If you look closely, you will find that there is a faint mark on her neck.

Hua Lingxuan thought about it and felt that he couldn't hide his mother's pregnancy from his father, so he quietly told Hua Changjue.

Hua Changjue immediately widened his eyes.

"You are telling the truth."

Hua Lingxuan nodded.

They both looked secretly at Jiang's belly.

Jiang seemed to realize something and stared at the father and son.

"What are you two looking at?"

Hua Lingxuan quickly turned his eyes away.

"No, nothing." Hua Changjue smiled and quickly helped Jiang sit down.

"Madam, you have been working hard recently, please sit down."

Hua Changjue sat next to Jiang and personally handed her the chopsticks and wiped her hands.

Jiang was flattered.

The remaining people, Liu, Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingjian, Hua Wanru, Qiu Mobai, and Hua Qingqing, took their seats in turn.

Liu had been staying in the Anguo Mansion for several months. During this period of time, in order to avoid suspicion, she had actually kept her distance from Hua Changjue.

Just like when they were having meals together, she always sat as far away from Hua Changjue.

Everyone noticed her intentions and respected her. Jiang was also sincere and treated her like a younger sister.

After everyone was seated, Hua Changjue realized that Qiu Mobai was also there.

Hua Lingxuan hurried to explain.

"Mr. Qiu wants to see you about something, so I'll invite him to dinner."

Hua Changjue nodded, "Mr. Qiu, if there is anything, let's talk about it in the study after dinner. I also have something to say to you."

"good!"

Throughout the meal, Hua Changjue was particularly attentive to Jiang.

Other people who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but feel curious.

As for Hua Lingxuan, he just thought, shouldn’t he have said it so early?

He couldn't stand his father being like this. He thought his mother would soon be unable to bear it either.

"Madam, eat more shrimps, it's good for your health." Hua Changjue thought to himself that eating more shrimps would be good for the child's brain. He wanted to give birth to a smart child this time.

"Ma'am, please eat less spicy food. It can easily cause a sore throat."

"Madam, let me scoop you a bowl of soup."

Jiang was a little annoyed by him.

"Master, you eat your own food." Can you please leave me alone? I can't even have a peaceful meal.

How come I didn't realize before that the master was so nagging. Except when she was pregnant. But she's not pregnant now!

Hua Changjue was embarrassed, but when he saw Jiang trying to pick up the bacon, he quickly stopped her.

"Ma'am, don't eat that. It smells bad and has gone bad!"

Jiang was surprised. How could the food coming out of the Duke's Mansion's kitchen be spoiled?

She really didn't believe it, so she bent down and smelled it. "Isn't it this smell?" She liked this smell.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Hua Changjue immediately looked at Hua Lingxuan.

"Xuan'er, tell me, is the sausage flavored?"

Hua Lingxuan's face was filled with black lines, and he regretted even more that he had told his father too early.
