"The matter of heirs—" The Marquis stroked his chin and said, "It's not that father wants to take advantage of someone's misfortune, but this is related to the plan of adopting an heir to the throne, and we can't lose the opportunity."
Xiao Huaihe didn't understand, so he looked up into the Marquis's deep eyes and asked, "What does father mean?"
The Marquis coughed lightly and said, "Let me, your father, take care of the matter of the heir! After all, they are all the blood of our Xiao family!"
Xiao Huaihe's eyes widened. He never thought his father would have such thoughts. He retorted in a lost voice, "Father, no!"
The Marquis glared, puffing his beard as he spoke, "Those who do great things don't care about small details. You must prove to the royal family that you are fertile. Otherwise, if people find out you can't even have children, how can they choose you to be adopted by the emperor? Moreover, now you have only married the daughter of the Su family.

Late at night, the father and son walked out of the study one after another.
Xiao Huaihe returned to the yard first and had a night drink with Su Ruhua, getting her drunk. Then he dismissed his attendants, blew out the lights, and went out through the back door.
The Marquis was waiting at the back door. After Xiao Huaihe went out, he sneaked into Su Ruhua's inner room, hugged the person on the bed and started to bite her indiscriminately.
"Hmm." Su Ruhua was drunk and confused. In the dark, she thought the person hugging her was Xiao Huaihe, so she agreed.
"My husband's illness has been cured? He is so great today--" She felt the change in the other party and was happy in her heart. She used her hands and feet and wrapped herself around him like an octopus.
