Seven months later.
The guards' skills have improved significantly. Where they might have been able to kill ten people each before, now they can easily take on twenty or thirty.
Xiao Linghan earned their admiration.
Jiang Tian's belly was already quite large.
Xiao Linghan stayed by her side for eight months.
He saw all of Jiang Tian's hard work.
Jiang Tian did not resist him accepting the child; on the contrary, she took the initiative to guide him to learn about parenting and understand the responsibilities a father should bear.
Xiao Linghan showed unprecedented patience and seriousness, learning a great deal of knowledge, including not only how to educate children, but also how to make pregnant women feel better.
The two of them have actually spent more time sleeping together these past few months, practically living together day and night.
It was Xiao Linghan who made the request.
Even though he had maids and servants attending to him, as well as a female doctor he had specially hired, he was still not at ease.
He rarely made demands of Jiang Tian, but this time he did: he wanted to sleep on the ground so he could be with her at all times.
Jiang Tian granted his request.
So he witnessed every little change in Jiang Tian's belly.
He remembered every detail: when her legs would cramp, when she drank water, whether she preferred warm or hot water.
Actually, the maids and servants originally treated Xiao Linghan with indifference.
Isn't he just a man who's been used by his master? Once he has a child, it's no big deal to kick him out.
The master is never short of male beauties.
It was clear that Xiao Linghan's devotion to Jiang Tian far exceeded their expectations of men, and everyone gradually accepted Xiao Linghan's existence.
If you were to find another one, Madam, you might not find one with such patience.
Many of the servants were old men from the general's mansion and knew a lot about the past.
Xu Changsheng treated Jiang Tian very well at the time. He took the initiative to propose to her and showed great sincerity.
But after marrying her, she still didn't treat her well.
Even though he later killed the woman he brought back, his image in everyone's mind still plummeted.
Later on, he treated Jiang Tian quite well. Whether it was fine silks and satins or gold and silver jewelry, he never kept a single item for himself and sent it all to Jiang Tian's room.
If it weren't for the scandal of that woman entering the household, he would already be considered a very good husband by others, after all, it's already quite good that he treats his wife without reservation.
However, when he encountered Xiao Linghan, he was at a disadvantage.
Xiao Linghan's patience with Jiang Tian was almost terrifying.
He could open his eyes as soon as Jiang Tian turned over. Before Jiang Tian even spoke, he knew what she wanted. As soon as Jiang Tian frowned, he knew what to do next.
Many people speculate whether Xiao Linghan has mind-reading abilities.
It was because of his care that many people's impression of him changed, and his reputation in the mansion finally improved.
When Jiang Tian was about to give birth, Xiao Linghan stopped going to the guard team to supervise others' training and began to devote himself to Jiang Tian.
Unfortunately, things can change unexpectedly, and no one could have predicted what would happen when war was about to break out.
Liu Jue's side is making more and more moves against the aristocratic families.
This time, the powerful families finally understood that Liu Jue had only been pretending to be weak to deceive others; he had not been corrupted by power at all.
He was merely pretending to be a playboy to mislead them, but in reality, he had long harbored the intention to eliminate them.
It's a pity they realized it too late.
