But he couldn't expose his father now. He can only act with his father.
He picked up a piece of bacon helplessly, put it under his nose, smelled it, and nodded.
"It seems to be a little broken..."
He had just finished speaking. Hua Changjue said quickly.
"I'll tell you. This bacon must be spoiled. The bacon sold outside recently must not be fresh, so don't buy it in the mansion."
"Someone, take this dish away."
Jiang was stunned.
Hua Changjue thought about it and felt that some dishes were not good for pregnant women, so he simply had them all taken away.
"I've been feeling a little upset recently, so take these dishes away."
Jiang looked at the half-empty table and was stunned. "How can the remaining dishes be enough for the whole family?"
Is this for everyone to eat the table? She felt somewhat dissatisfied. But I thought that the master had finally returned from the border. So I just went along with him.
Hua Changjue smiled. Instructed Rong Mama.
"Let's stir-fry some more vegetables and steam some bird's nest porridge. Let's steam some boiled eggs and some steamed seafood."
Aunt Rong hurried down to give instructions.
Soon, the dishes on the table looked brand new. Seeing this, Qingqing frowned.
"Where are the baby's pig's trotters?"
“And chicken legs.”
"Eating those won't be good for the baby." Hua Changjue coaxed with a smile.
"Come, have some seafood!"
Qiu Mobai watched the Duke's actions for a long time and soon figured it out. Hua Changjue must have known that the Duke's wife was pregnant! That’s why…
He felt helpless, but also felt that the Duke was really good to his family and his wife!
"Qingqing, eat more fish, it's delicious."
Coincidentally, he was sitting next to Qingqing.
He personally picked up a piece of fish and carefully picked out all the bones. Then put it in Qingqing's bowl.
"Qingqing, try it."
“This tastes really good.”
Hua Qingqing was a little unhappy, but she still ate it to save face.
Well, it tastes okay.
Qiu Mobai peeled another shrimp and put it in Qingqing's bowl.
"Qingqing, try this shrimp. It's delicious too."
Hua Qingqing ate it and nodded.
Hua Changjue was also picking fish bones and peeling shrimps for Jiang.
"Ma'am, you should eat this. It's good for your body and your skin."
For the rest of the time, Qiu Mobai took care of Qingqing. Hua Changjue takes care of Jiang.
Others: …
Why is the atmosphere a bit weird?
Hua Lingxuan is the only one who knows the truth. He was so focused on eating that he didn't even raise his head.
The family had a happy dinner together.
Hua Changjue, Jiang Shi, Hua Lingxuan, and Qiu Mobai all went to the study.
Hua Lingjian left the house.
Hua Wanru held Qingqing in her arms and went back to Qingfeng Garden with Liu.
"I'm going to rest first. You two should also go to bed early." Liu looked a little listless.
She saw that Hua Changjue was so good to Sister Jiang. I thought of how Li Hongru had cared so much about her back then...
Hua Wanru nodded until Liu returned to her room. She then carried Qingqing back to the room.
Although Hua Wanru was joking with Qingqing, Qingqing keenly discovered that Hua Wanru was not happy and seemed a little absent-minded.
Qingqing looked at her curiously.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Wanru smiled and rubbed her forehead with her hand.
"Sister, it's okay. Sister will wash you up. Come to bed later and sister will tell Qingqing a story, okay?"
Qingqing nodded obediently.
They were lying on the bed, and Qingqing fell asleep halfway through Hua Wanru's story.
After she fell asleep, Hua Wanru gently got up and walked out the door. The maid Hongyu was called over.
"How is it? Still no news?"
Hongyu also nodded nervously.
“Miss, do you think something happened to Mr. Shen?”
Hua Wanru frowned and her eyes were dim.
"Wait a little longer. If there is still no news tomorrow, I will have to tell my parents."
On the other side, in the study.
Hua Changjue listened to Qiu Mobai's words and said, "Well, I know. I think we should stay in Qingyang Prefecture. It will be very dangerous to return to the capital."
Besides, they had originally planned to find a chance to leave here.
He is coming back today. As soon as I entered the city gate, I found that there was an undercurrent in Bianjing City, and I estimated that it would not take long. Something big will happen.
He didn't dare delay any longer.
He had to look for the nearest opportunity to take his family and leave Bianjing City.
Hua Changjue thought for a moment and said to Qiu Mobai, "Thank you, Mr. Qiu, for helping us deal with all our businesses."
Qiu Mobai cupped his hands, "Your Excellency the Duke is too polite. It didn't take much effort on my part."
Hua Changjue nodded and handed him a small box.
"We can't let Mr. Qiu work in vain, and you gave Qingqing a lot of things, this is a thank you gift, you must accept it."
Qiu Mobai thought about it. , didn't refuse, just took it.
He is a businessman, and if he refuses at this time, the Duke will think too much. I thought he had other intentions.
Hua Changjue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he accepted it.
"I have something else that I would like to trouble you with, Mr. Qiu."
"Your Excellency, please give your orders."
"The orphan of the Southern King."
Several people were stunned.
Hua Changjue looked at Qiu Mobai steadily.
"In addition to the three sons and one daughter born to his first wife, the King of Nan also has a woman and a son."
"When we broke into the city, he had already escaped."
"I hope Mr. Qiu can use your connections to help find them."
Qiu Mobai frowned, "After finding them, what do you plan to do, Lord Duke? Eliminate the roots?"
