Having achieved her goal, Tang Baozhu was naturally very satisfied and wished she could jump up and kiss him a few times.
Unfortunately, for the sake of the baby in her womb, she couldn't move too much. She could only put her arms around his neck, let him lower his head, and kiss the corner of his lips.
"You're so kind, Master. You must keep your promise. If you don't, I won't talk to you anymore."
This is a classic case of taking an inch and wanting a mile, but Yong Xingchen actually enjoys it.
"You need to be a better behaved from now on. Speak your mind directly if anything happens. Don't keep it bottled up inside. What if you get sick from it? Don't worry, no matter what it is, I will definitely stand up for you."
Yong Xingchen felt that his mistress had become a different person since she became pregnant. She was no longer as restrained as before and wanted to be with him all day long. Although they had no private space, the air felt sweet when they were together.
Tang Baozhu expressed that she was quite satisfied with this man. Although the cucumbers were initially shared, they would be hers alone from now on.
She didn't care that much about these things; as long as she continued to treat herself well for the rest of her life, that was enough.
After all, her main task was to die peacefully in her old age, but in this small world, she had an additional task: to protect the son in her womb.
This was nothing to Tang Baozhu.
"I understand. I'll listen to you from now on. I'll tell you if anything happens. Xingchen can't let Baozhu down."
Tang Baozhu emphasized her last sentence, implying that someone as intelligent as the young master should understand it, but it was up to him whether he wanted to understand it or not.
Yong Xingchen stroked Baozhu's cheek, looking at her bright and beautiful face. It wasn't surprising that he was captivated by her.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
The two sat on the bed, embracing each other. Neither of them spoke, just listening quietly to the shouts outside. Gradually, the sounds grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared.
Finally, the torches in the courtyard stopped moving, which meant everyone must have left.
"Baozhu, go to sleep early. You're pregnant now, so you can't overexert yourself. We can talk about it after you've had some rest."
Tang Baozhu blinked, feeling a bit sleepy. After all, she had walked for so long during the day, and although she had slept for a while in the afternoon, she still felt very tired.
"I want Grandpa to hold me while I sleep."
Yong Xingchen was quite susceptible to Baozhu's coquettishness. After changing into their sleeping clothes, the two of them slept in their clothes, but they hugged each other very tightly, as if nothing could separate them.
Tang Baozhu felt very safe in the warm embrace and quickly fell asleep.
Yong Xingchen looked at the sleeping person in his arms and carefully placed his hand on her stomach. Thinking that he was going to have his own child, the smile on his face became more and more gentle.
I'm already in my twenties, and I finally have my own flesh and blood. My father and mother no longer have to worry about not seeing the next generation.
We can't tell anyone yet, lest we disturb the spirit of the fetus. We'll tell our father and mother after the baby is three months old.
As she thought about it, she remembered what had happened that day and subconsciously hugged Baozhu tighter. She hadn't expected the little one in her arms to be so greedy. Not only did she not allow herself to touch anyone else, but she also didn't allow the servants around her to be female.
Although he seemed domineering, he was actually quite happy inside, which shows that he loved himself. Only when you love someone will you have this kind of possessiveness.
Unlike the heir apparent's wife in the Marquis's mansion, who would push him to someone else at the drop of a hat to show her virtue and magnanimity.
In the end, she only cared about the position of the Marquis's heir's wife; she didn't genuinely like or love him at all.
He wasn't a womanizer; he only took so many concubines in the past for the sake of the Marquis's lineage. After all, the Marquis's family was known for its small population, and if he didn't take more concubines, he was worried that the next generation of the Marquis's family would die out.
But now that my little darling in my arms has her own child, it seems like it would be nice to just stay with her and live my life from now on.
After thinking it through, I simply held her as we slept, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her, and slept soundly through the night.
The next day, Tang Baozhu was still half asleep when she heard Yong Xingchen get up next to her. She felt sorry for him for a second, thinking how pitiful it was for someone to have to go to work so early. Then she fell asleep again.
Seeing that Baozhu hadn't been woken up, Yong Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how soundly she was sleeping, he tiptoed out of the room.
When Tang Baozhu opened her eyes, it was already Chen Shi, which is nine o'clock. She had been sleeping so comfortably that she was woken up by her stomach being hungry.
Suddenly I realized that when Yong Xingchen left this morning, I didn't even ask him if he would come back tonight.
However, the two were deeply in love, so he would probably come again that night, unless the Marquis and his wife called him back for something. Otherwise, he would not refuse to come.
Although he wasn't very confident, he was still about 80% sure he would come back.
After breakfast, Tang Baozhu prepared to take a walk in the garden. Before leaving, she took out some pills from her spatial storage that would be good for her health and the baby, and then went out.
Upon exiting the main house, I discovered that the spot where the boards had been laid the night before was completely unmarked, though the bricks and stones on the ground showed signs of having been washed with water.
It must have been cleaned up by those clever servants.
Without stopping, I walked straight past that place. Although the garden was small, it had all the common flowers, but there were no more precious ones to be found.
Tang Baozhu wanted to have plenty of precious and rare flowers in her own space. Since there wasn't much else to do in this small world, she decided to take good care of growing flowers.
Flowers, if well-cultivated, can be quite valuable. Since the people serving around him are all the young master's men, and he can't directly take out gold and silver from his spatial storage, he can only try to make money in a good way.
For an old monster like myself who has lived for so long, there are simply too many ways to make money.
Fortunately, most mirrors used in ancient times were made of bronze, which could be made to reflect very clearly. In any case, the young master was from a noble family, so he should be able to protect himself.
At worst, we can ask the old Marquis to give five percent of the profits to the emperor. With the most powerful person in the land as our backer, we shouldn't have to worry about losing our position.
The more I thought about it, the better the idea seemed. It would be a good opportunity to earn more money in the future and leave more savings for my son.
Although the Marquis's mansion will belong to him in the future, it doesn't truly belong to him until it's in his hands, let alone allow him to spend money as he pleases.
