He never stopped looking for Yao Susu, but there was still no news.
Until the news of the Ningyuan Marquis's son and the Jianing County Lady's divorce spread throughout the capital. Some people said it was because of the Ningyuan Marquis's concubine. Others said the concubine was of humble status, bought from the south by the Ningyuan Marquis's old lady, and her name seemed to be Yao Susu...
He was struck by lightning. Yao Susu? His cousin? Became the concubine of the Ningyuan Marquis' son?
His hands began to tremble unconsciously. Although he knew that his cousin had been sold, most likely to a wealthy family, he still had a lucky chance, maybe as a maid...
Concubine...she became someone else's woman.
Zhong Qingxi couldn't explain the feeling in his heart. He felt sorry for his cousin's life of drifting like duckweed in the past few years. Is it so easy to be someone's concubine?
Obviously, he wanted Susu to be his wife!
My heart suddenly ached, and a feeling of powerlessness came over me.
Zhong Qingxi smiled bitterly. Is it too late after all?

After hearing what Yao Susu meant, Xu Zekun came out and said to Zhong Qingxi, "Susu said she is in poor health and cannot see guests. When she gives birth to her son, we will invite Master Zhong to congratulate her."
Don't you want to... see him? Zhong Qingxi's face turned pale. It turned out that his cousin was not as eager for him as he was for her.
Looking at the man in front of him with hostile eyes, Zhong Qingxi smiled gently and said with a bow, "Then I will listen to the good news from the general."

In May, as her due date approached, Yao Susu felt increasingly unable to eat. Her stomach felt heavy, and her waist and limbs ached. It was fine during the day, but she felt extremely uncomfortable at night. In addition, she had to get up frequently at night, and every day was a toss and turn.
Xu Zekun felt very distressed and stayed with Yao Susu every night. Since Susu became pregnant, Xu Zekun almost always slept with her in Yingxue Pavilion. When Wu found out, she was dissatisfied again.
How could a woman be so domineering towards her husband while being pregnant? What's worse, she even wants her husband to serve her?
Although she was angry, she thought about Yao Susu who was pregnant and about to give birth, so she didn't say anything to Yao Susu. She just called Xu Zekun over and scolded him.
Xu Zekun was already worried about Susu's delivery. After taking her pulse, the imperial physician said that the baby was growing fast and might not be born full-term, so he asked them to be careful. Therefore, he had been on edge these days.
Susu's pregnancy was difficult, and it was twins at that. The danger was self-evident. However, her mother had to pick on these trivial rules at this critical moment, which made him even more unwilling to deal with it.
Mrs. Wu could see that even though he was there, he hadn't heard a word. After he left, she threw a set of teacups and said, "It really proves the old saying that when you marry a wife, you forget your mother."
