When they arrived at the mansion, someone was already waiting outside. The second concubine and Adjutant Chen were standing at the front. They looked happy when they saw the car coming in.
The Second Concubine had known about Bai Yuzhi's pregnancy for a long time. For the past month, she had been chanting scriptures and praying in the small Buddhist temple in the mansion all day long, hoping day and night that nothing would happen to the child.
Hearing that today was the day Bai Yuzhi would return to the mansion, he packed up early and went out to wait.
That was Xu Hanshan's bloodline and Mrs. Lin's grandson. The Second Concubine felt like crying with joy just thinking about it.
She had been worried about this when Xu Hanshan was in his twenties and still hadn't gotten married, fearing that she would not live to see Xu Hanshan get married and have children. She never expected that things would develop so quickly and Bai Yuzhi would get pregnant at once.
Now, in the eyes of the second concubine, Bai Yuzhi and the baby in her belly are the most important people. Even if Xu Hanshan comes in person, they cannot compare to them.
The second concubine came forward eagerly, and when Bai Yuzhi got out of the car, she supported her tightly: "Yuzhi, you must be careful. A woman's pregnancy is very unstable during the first three months. You were secretly harmed by Xu Lanyin and that bitch, and now you are weak, so you can't bear it."
"How's your appetite lately?"
The second concubine gave a few instructions and couldn't help asking about Bai Yuzhi's recent situation.
She wanted to go to Jinshan Butterfly to guard Bai Yuzhi in person, but that was Guan Tong's territory after all, and her identity as the second concubine was not suitable for her to go there, so she had been waiting in the mansion.
Bai Yuzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine and I have a good appetite."
I'm only a little over a month pregnant, less than two months, so the pregnancy reactions won't come so quickly.
The Second Concubine scolded her, "Don't be happy, child. I'm telling you, pregnancy is not easy. If you can't eat in the future, please tell me that the sour plums I make are very appetizing. It was the same when Madam was pregnant with the young master. Only the sour plums I made could stimulate her appetite!"
Xu Hanshan walked behind Bai Yuzhi to protect her, his arms slightly outstretched for fear that Bai Yuzhi would lose her balance. Upon hearing what Second Aunt said, he also smiled and said, "That's my fault."
He was indeed dishonest when he was in his mother's womb. Mrs. Lin had said so when she was still alive.
If the child in Baiyuzi's belly follows him, his mother might really suffer.
Thinking of this, Xu Hanshan's brows were filled with worry. His wife was already weak, and if this child continued to cause trouble...
But he didn't expect it.
"I hope the child will make some noise. I'm not afraid of these things."
The jade-white girl raised her little face, and her snow-white cheeks became more and more lustrous under the sunlight, with a charming luster like the finest white porcelain.
She spoke of the child in a gentle tone, with tenderness and expectation in her eyes.
She was such a fragile woman that Xu Hanshan had to be very careful every time he touched her, for fear that he would hurt her accidentally.
But such a fragile woman, she touched her belly, and said so gently but firmly that she was not afraid of the child making a fuss, and she was actually looking forward to the pain that most women were unwilling to endure.
How could Xu Hanshan not know why Bai Yuzhi said that?
No one wants to suffer unless there is something behind the suffering that is far more unbearable than the suffering itself.
If it weren't for that accident, why would Bai Yuzhi be willing to endure the pain of morning sickness and say that she wanted the child to be more lively?
There was no need to make a fuss. She was obviously afraid that the child would really have some problems, so she would rather suffer more herself and want the child to come into this world healthy and safe.
Xu Hanshan's eyes were hot and his heart was beating wildly and violently.
For the first time in his life, he knew what a strong emotion this was. After today, there would never be another person in the world who could make him feel so sad and happy.
The second concubine was also stunned. After she reacted, she hurriedly turned her back and wiped away the tears that she couldn't hold back with a handkerchief. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Xu Lan deserved to die, but there was another culprit whose fate is still unknown.
Lin Xiaosheng is a member of the Lin family. The second concubine originally liked her a little, but now, when the second concubine thought that Xu Hanshan's offspring was almost lost because of Lin Xiaosheng, she wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood!
After sending Bai Yuzhi into the house and Xiaoqing accompanying her, the second concubine called Xu Hanshan out.
She was not of high status, as she was originally Mrs. Lin's maid, so she was not allowed to know about the affairs of the Lin family, but the second concubine was unwilling to accept this.
"Lin Xiaosheng, what does the young master plan to do?"
The second concubine knew Xu Hanshan well. This child was a decisive person just like his biological mother. If Mrs. Lin were still alive, she would not easily bypass Lin Xiaosheng when such a big thing happened.
What's more, Xu Hanshan has been away for so many years, and he is far more ruthless than Mrs. Lin.
Xu Hanshan's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard this disgusting name. "It's been over a month since I handed him over to my uncle. If I don't hear any more news, I will take action myself."
Xu Hanshan knew the Lin family's methods. If there were no rules in such a big family, it would have disappeared by now, so he handed Lin Xiaosheng over to President Lin.
But if President Lin disappoints him and chooses to protect his daughter, he doesn't mind taking some effort to deal with Lin Xiaosheng personally.
But if that's the case, don't blame him for taking his anger out on the Lin family.
At this moment, Adjutant Chen came over with a strange look on his face to report.
"General, President Lin is here."
The second concubine paused and looked at Xu Hanshan.
Xu Hanshan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Who did you bring?"
Adjutant Chen shook his head: "President Lin came here on his own."
The Second Wife was puzzled: "He came at this time, could it be that he wanted to plead for Lin Xiaosheng? Young Master, please don't let him see Yuzhi, otherwise I'm afraid Yuzhi will be soft-hearted and really let that bitch go."
Unexpectedly, Xu Hanshan actually laughed.
He whispered, "He's not here to beg for mercy, he's here to plead guilty."
"Go," Xu Hanshan instructed Adjutant Chen, "invite my uncle in."
When President Lin was brought in by Adjutant Chen, even the Second Wife was surprised. She had seen President Lin at a white jade wedding banquet not long ago. Although he had wrinkles on his face at that time, he was in very good spirits, elegant and steady. Although he no longer looked young, he was still in good spirits.
But looking at him now, his hair is gray, his back is hunched, and he actually looks like an old man!
The second concubine suddenly understood why Xu Hanshan said he came to apologize instead of begging for mercy.
Looking at President Lin like this, Lin Xiaosheng might no longer be a living person.
