“When will I tell the kids?”
"After the plum blossom viewing banquet, we will tell the children together."
"If the kids ask you how you got this baby in your belly, what are you going to tell them?"
Xiao Lingyu rolled his eyes at him and said, "The children probably won't ask. If they do, I believe you can trick them."
"How do we trick the children?"
"..." Xiao Lingyu was too lazy to pay attention to him and covered himself with the quilt to take a nap.
Su Xingyi tucked the corners of the quilt in for her and carefully held her in his arms.
I will stay with her for the next ten months and never leave her side.
Looking at the person who was already sleeping soundly in his arms, Si Chuyu remembered that Lu Yuan was easily sleepy after becoming pregnant, so he prepared a lot of fruits and vegetables for her to nourish the pregnancy.
He also wants to prepare something for Xiaoyu!
Thinking of this, he got out of bed, tiptoed out of the room to prepare these.
Wutong Garden.
Baili Qingluan coaxed Su Ning'an to sleep and went to the study, where the uncle and nephew were already waiting.
"Eldest sister, how should we deal with the Song family?"
"Aunt, we can't let the Song family off easily!"
Baili Qingluan did not respond immediately. She took the sealed large teapot handed to her by Zhang Qian and sat in front of the stove.
Under the watchful eyes of the uncle and nephew, the teacup was opened, and it was filled with snow water without a trace of impurities.
He took out the top-quality tea from the Lu Family Tea Shop, Jin Yuding, from the box, and then took out the items needed for making tea one after another, and began to slowly make tea for the uncle and nephew.
Baili Mingde looked at Baili Qingluan's skillful tea-making movements in front of him, and suddenly realized that he and his second uncle had not tasted the tea made by his aunt for a long time.
Every time my aunt finished cooking for them, she would make tea for them, using fresh morning dew water, because she was worried that they would eat too much and have difficulty digesting it.
After a long while, Baili Qingluan poured each of them a cup of tea. "I collected the first snow in Huayang County. Come and try it. How does the tea made from snow water taste?"
Baili Mingde was the first to pick up the teacup. He took a look at the emerald green tea soup, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully. Then he took a sip. His eyes lit up instantly. It was indeed a familiar taste.
"Aunt, whether it's tea made with snow water or morning dew, the taste is still sweet and mellow, and it's the familiar flavor. I want to drink it again."
Mingde has grown up, and his little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. "Okay! Auntie will make it for you."
"Eldest sister, and me, I want to drink a few more glasses."
After a few cups of tea, Baili Qingluan asked, "It was the King of Cangnan who sent a message asking us to punish the Song family. Was it his idea or the idea of the Beiyi court?"
Baili Xuanlang: "The King of Cangnan is the eldest prince of Beiyi. He has now been rehabilitated and returned to the capital. He led his troops to the western border to suppress the Song family army. The Emperor of Beiyi has begun to pay attention to him again. His meaning should be what the Emperor of Beiyi means."
Baili Qingluan lowered his eyes to stare at Biying's tea and said calmly, "Then kill all nine clans of the Song family. Leave no one alive, and the Yu family too!"
Baili Mingde's heart trembled. "Aunt, the Song family treated you this way. They would never be satisfied even if they cut you into pieces. But after all, my little cousin is half Song family blood..."
"Mingde!" Baili Xuanlang interrupted him, "Song Linyuan was so cruel as to throw An Ge'er. He lost half his life at that time, which means he has already paid half of his life back to the Song family. Your cousin has grown up this big without the Song family raising him for a single day! It was Su Xingyi who raised him!"
Baili Xuanlang will never forget how Baili Qingluan looked in the Song family dungeon. If he hadn't wanted to rescue his elder sister and avoid alerting the enemy, he would have killed all the Song family members long ago!
"Langlang, have some tea." Baili Qingluan refilled the teacup in front of him to calm him down.
"I wanted to exterminate all nine members of the Song family. This was my mindset every day when I woke up in the lake dungeon and realized I wasn't dead. If I could get out alive, I would definitely slaughter the Song family and not spare a single ant! This thought didn't change even when I escaped from the Song family and rushed to Longcheng! It was only when I met An Ge'er on the way that this idea began to waver..."
Her son was lost and then found again, which was a surprise from God to her.
For the sake of her son, she didn't want to have too much blood on her hands, and didn't want to cause too much killing!
She wanted to accumulate blessings for Ang'er.
"You won't be soft-hearted and let the Song family go, will you? They framed you for stealing Beiyi's military secrets and deceiving the Emperor of Beiyi. That's a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor, and a capital offense!"
Baili Xuanlang wanted the Song family to die. If he had known that his elder sister would be soft-hearted, he would not have come to Huayang County.
"How could I be soft-hearted? I will not let the Song family go. Killing them is not enough, but they have to suffer while alive. So let them leave their homeland and exile them to plant trees in the northwest state of Xirong!"
Baili Xuanlang widened his eyes. His elder sister was really heartless!
The Northwestern State is surrounded by barren yellow sand and rocks, with a huge temperature difference between day and night.
Civil officials who committed crimes in the Western Rong were exiled to the Northwestern Province. Some died within a year, those in good health could last three years, and strong military officers could barely last eight years.
The Northwestern Province is a nightmare for officials who have committed crimes, but it is a means of livelihood for the poor people of Xirong. Every six months, the imperial court will recruit strong men to plant trees and they will be paid.
The Beiyi people were exiled to Xirong as punishment, which was unprecedented!
The Song family was punished far away from their homeland in Xirong, and could not return to their homeland until their death. For the Song family, this was equivalent to physical and mental torture and suffering!
"Then how many years does Auntie want them to plant the trees?"
Baili Qingluan thought about how she had been detained in the lake dungeon for eight years and hadn't had enough to eat. "Didn't the Song family say I was fair in rewarding and punishing? Then I'll double the punishment and make them plant trees in Northwest Province for sixteen years, making it twenty years! Don't I go hungry every day? Then they'll go hungry and plant trees for twenty years! We can't let them starve to death during this time. Rescue them and continue planting trees. After twenty years, they can have enough to eat and plant trees."
Baili Qingluan pulled out a blueprint from the box. "I've previously written to Xuan Ce, asking him to choose a city among the captured ones closest to our Xirong capital to establish a government and academy there."
"Aunt, the house is located in Rongcheng, covering hundreds of acres. Aunt and cousin will definitely like it there!"
"Yes, elder sister, the mansion has beautiful scenery and is planted with precious flowers and plants."
"Is there a large artificial lake in the house?"
"some!"
"Then drain the lake and build a dungeon at the bottom according to this blueprint!"
The uncle and nephew took a look at the drawings and instantly understood Baili Qingluan's intention.
"Eldest sister, who are you planning to detain in there? Is it that woman?"
"As for Song Linyuan, detain them both inside. Let them be a good couple sharing hardships together, and experience the days of not having enough to eat, not being able to die, and not having freedom. Of course, I will also arrange for servants to help them clean up every day... As for the five cities, do as I said in the last message."
