Chapter 8 Is the Governor the Real Father?

"Someone come."

His sudden words interrupted the conversation between Madam Yan and Qin Mingzhu.

Immediately, five or six guards with swords came to Yan Fengxiao's side.

"Commander!"

Yan Fengxiao said calmly, "The rest of you stay and help my sister-in-law check the accounts."

Those people did not dare to delay and immediately responded: "Yes, Governor."

Qin Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this.

She never thought that Yan Fengxiao would actually intervene to help.

With the people he arranged around, Madam Yan would definitely be more restrained.

Qin Mingzhu looked at Yan Fengxiao and was not polite.

Even though she still didn't understand what this man was thinking, she appreciated his kindness.

Whether it was for the sake of the child in her womb or because he broke into the mansion to avenge her in his previous life, she would give him the opportunity to come to her and explain.

"Thank you very much, Governor."

Yan Fengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Qin Mingzhu's figure was reflected in the dark pupils.

"I've been standing at the door for a long time. Sister-in-law, won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Qin Mingzhu was stunned at first when he heard this, then smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the Marquis' Mansion is also your home, Governor. You can come back anytime you want. Governor, please come in."

Even Old Madam Yan only just reacted now.

She also quickly smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, yes, please come in, Governor!"

Although Yan Fengxiao is now of noble status and has long since moved out of the Marquis' Mansion and separated from it, he did not take anything with him when he left.

Yan Fengxiao lost his mother at a young age. The old marquis ignored him when he was alive, not to mention that the old marquis passed away three years ago.

Old Madam Yan didn't even consider him as a family member. She just saw that he was becoming successful and tried every means to get close to him and take advantage of him.

In her previous life, Qin Mingzhu also knew the true relationship between Yan Fengxiao and the Yan family, so she did not intend to get too close to them.

The main reason is that the Yan family can't give Yan Fengxiao any benefits, so it would be too shameless to stick to him like that.

She was forced to leave her home and never received any help from the Marquis' Mansion. However, the Marquis' Mansion asked her for help with everything, big or small, which really made Qin Mingzhu feel guilty.

Therefore, sometimes, even when she faced difficulties, she would try to avoid Yan Fengxiao.

But obviously, Madam Yan and others did not think so.

She invited Yan Fengxiao to the guest hall and instructed him, "Take out some of the fine tea that the old marquis once treasured and pour it for the governor."

After sending a few maids away, Old Madam Yan looked at Yan Fengxiao with a smile and said, "Mother knows you're busy, but I didn't see you come home a few days ago during the New Year's Eve. Did you run into any trouble outside?"

Madam Yan spoke with concern, her voice deliberately soft.

Yan Fengxiao's expression was very stiff and cold, and he didn't pay much attention to what she said.

"Um."

The bluffing was already exposed, and the old lady was a little embarrassed, but she still greeted him with a smile: "Then you should be better these days. I am very happy that you can come back today. Your second brother is also in the mansion, why don't I call him over, and you two brothers..."

Yan Fengxiao interrupted coldly: "No need, I have nothing to say to him."

Old Madam Yan's expression changed again and again, but she did not lose her temper.

After all, she has long been accustomed to being treated coldly by others, but as long as Yan Fengxiao is still a member of the Yan family and can help with anything, she doesn't mind losing some face.

Just as Old Madam Yan was about to speak, a maid suddenly ran in from the doorway and said, "Old Madam, something happened. One of the boxes that were just delivered fell!"

Madam Yan's face changed: "Oh, how could you be so careless? Who is so clumsy to do this? Mingzhu, you entertain the governor first, I'll go over and take a look!"

Qin Mingzhu nodded: "Okay."

It was she who arranged for the box to fall, and the old lady, who was a stingy person, would definitely go and check it out in person.

She just wanted to lure the old lady away.

Old Madam Yan left in a hurry.

The entire living room suddenly became quiet, and even the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.

Facing Yan Fengxiao, a man with an aura as sharp as a knife and a cold and deep demeanor, Qin Mingzhu spoke first.

"Chunhua, go guard the door."

Chunhua looked up in surprise, glanced at her wife, then looked at the imposing man beside her. Not daring to think too much, she quickly turned around and left.

In order to avoid arguments, the door was not closed. Qin Mingzhu rubbed her belly gently with her hands and found that someone's eyes were also fixed on her abdomen.

Those eyes were hidden under thick black eyelashes. If you didn't look closely, you really couldn't tell how much heat was hidden in them.

As she watched, she suddenly burst out laughing.

This smile brought Yan Fengxiao back to his senses. He immediately spoke, his tone somewhat stiff and cold: "I just returned to Beijing and just heard that something happened to my sister-in-law. I'm late..."

Qin Mingzhu blinked and chuckled, "Does the governor know any medical skills?"

Yan Fengxiao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

"Does the governor have any magic medicine?"

Yan Fengxiao still shook his head: "No."

"But the governor is the biological father of the child in my belly?"

Yan Fengxiao: “…”

The man's sharp eyes showed a hint of surprise at this time, and he was speechless for a while after being confronted by Qin Mingzhu's words.

The entire guest hall of the marquis's mansion became eerily silent.

Qin Mingzhu didn't move or speak, but after asking this question, she just stared at Yan Fengxiao.

In the past, she would always avoid the other person's gaze.

But now...

As expected, Yan Fengxiao quickly looked away this time.

She could see that the man's whole body was tense at this moment.

She seemed to be able to see from his forehead that he seemed to be sweating...

It’s just the beginning of spring, is it still that hot?

Yan Fengxiao's Adam's apple rolled, and under Qin Mingzhu's gaze, he seemed to be trying hard to remain calm.

Although this person was rumored to be so terrible by others, at this moment, Qin Mingzhu felt that he was like an exquisite ice sculpture that was being broken bit by bit by her.

She found this process very interesting.

Yan Fengxiao felt as if time had become extraordinarily long, his voice even becoming dry at this moment: "Sister-in-law, please be careful with your words."

Seeing that he did not give a direct answer, Qin Mingzhu's tone became a little aggressive.

"I wouldn't ask casually. Why is the governor so nervous? Could it be that the child in my belly really has something to do with the governor?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Fengxiao frowned slightly.

He opened his thin lips slightly, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he didn't say a single word.

Seeing him acting like this, Qin Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and continued to pretend.

She has lived her whole life, and even after her death she didn't have a good reputation. What else is there to worry about?

Perhaps Yan Fengxiao was worried that there were eavesdroppers, and that exposing this matter would damage her reputation, which she could not accept.

But now she doesn't care about those things.

I just want to hear Yan Fengxiao say these words in person.
