Qin Shu waited until late at night for Xie Lanzhi to return.
He did not come back alone. He was accompanied by many men with introverted auras and ordinary faces whose appearances were difficult to remember.
These people are the guard of honor protecting Xie Lanzhi. Xie's father had secretly trained them a long time ago, and each of them has excellent skills.
It is said that the captain of the guard is also a monk and is willing to work for the Xie family.
"You're back? It's so late—"
Qin Shu was woken up and rubbed her eyes and got up.
Xie Lanzhi threw his coat on the chair, sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Qin Shu tightly.
"Ah Shu, I succeeded!"
The man was so excited that he couldn't hide his smile and shared his joy with the person he loved.
Qin Shu tilted her head, and Xie Lanzhi's handsome, angular profile came into view.
"I know. Congratulations. Thank you, President—"
Xie Lanzhi leaned close to Qin Shu's neck, sniffed deeply, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Shu, for your support behind me. Without you, I wouldn't have achieved my success and the opportunity to move to a higher level with the Xie family."
Over the years, everything Qin Shu did behind the Xie family's back was to help the Xie family save time and effort and get the opportunity to succeed.
Qin Shu placed her hand on the back of Xie Lanzhi's head and gently touched it a few times.
"I also have selfish motives. Only when the Xie family has no worries, our son can grow up happily forever."
In the previous life, a giant like the Xie family still suffered tragic destruction.
This shows how fierce the struggles among the upper class and the fighting in the dark are.
Only when the Xie family rises rapidly can the children accumulate their own network of contacts during their growth, thus preserving the Xie family's blessings forever and protecting the Qin family as well.
Xie Lanzhi let go of Qin Shu and stared at her belly with gentle and affectionate eyes.
"Did your daughter bother you today?"
"No, she's very well behaved."
Xie Lanzhi knelt on one knee on the ground, put his ear against Qin Shu's belly, and said apologetically: "I will be very busy in the next few months and will not have time to accompany you."
The transfer of power also carries potential risks.
Xie Lanzhi is the newly appointed leader and has many things to get familiar with.
Qin Shu smiled and said, "It's okay, I will take good care of myself and the child."
Xie Lanzhi continued, "The Imperial Mansion has been renovated and it will take some time before we can move in. Do you have any suggestions for our future residence?"
Qin Shu hesitated: "The residence for us and the children should be decorated according to the decoration of our home. The most important thing is to live comfortably. As for other things, we don't have any big requirements."
"The Imperial Palace is huge, even bigger than the Forbidden City, with a lot of unused space that you can arrange as you please."
"No, I don't have much time."
Xie Lanzhi looked up at Qin Shu: "Do you have any other plans?"
After being married for several years, he immediately noticed Qin Shu's coldness and entanglement.
Qin Shu gently stroked the man's handsome and gentle cheek and said frankly: "I plan to take Chenchen back to Yushan Village for two years. It's time for him to start his apprenticeship."
Xie Lanzhi's breathing stagnated: "So early? Chenchen is only five years old."
"It's not early anymore. I started seeing patients around this time. It was my grandfather who kept watch over me back then."
The joy in Xie Lanzhi's eyes completely disappeared, and his voice became solemn and cold.
"What about me? What about Yangyang, Sanbao and Sibao?"
Qin Shu looked at the man's aggrieved expression and said with a smile: "It's not like I won't come back. I come back to see you every month. I hope Chenchen can finish his apprenticeship soon. I will always be with you and the children in the future."
Xie Lanzhi hugged Qin Shu around the waist and said in a muffled voice, "I can't bear to leave you."
At this moment, he did not have any of the awe-inspiring majesty of a ruler, but rather had a more down-to-earth air.
Qin Shu touched his hair and said, "It's only two years. If Chenchen is smart and can learn quickly, maybe it won't take two years."
Xie Lanzhi's frown deepened a little, and he thought to himself: Chenchen better do better.
He asked in a muffled voice: "When are we leaving?"
"It was only a few months after my daughter was born."
"good--"

Imperial Palace.
Spring passed and summer came, and at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the little princess of the Xie family was finally born.
“Wow wow wow——!!!”
The loud cry of a baby could be heard in the master bedroom, which was decorated in pure Chinese style.
Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie heard this outside the door and were so happy that they wanted to rush into the room.
“We have a granddaughter!”
"Finally she's born. I wonder what her granddaughter looks like!"
Xie Lanzhi had just finished presiding over a meeting in the cabinet and drove across most of the imperial palace to return to his residence. He almost ran up the stairs.
Hearing the child's cry, Xie Lanzhi's face flashed with ecstasy, and he asked anxiously: "Where is Ah Shu? How is Ah Shu?"
Father Xie looked at his son who looked like a young boy and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law has given birth three times. It's not a big problem. Just calm down!"
Xie Lanzhi couldn't keep calm at all. He pushed the door open and rushed in.
A strong smell of blood wafted into his nose. Xie Lanzhi's face darkened and he walked to the left with a familiar look.
A woman in a white coat came forward and said, "Sir, you came in like this?!"
Xie Lanzhi asked expressionlessly: "How is my wife?"
The female doctor endured the oppressive feeling and reported respectfully: "Madam is fine, she is being cleaned up."
She pointed to the second room and said, "Miss Xie has been sent back to her room. She is in very good health. Would you like to go and see her, sir?"
Xie Lanzhi ignored the female doctor and went straight to the room where Qin Shu was giving birth.
The moment the door opened.
An even stronger smell of blood penetrated into the nose.
There were seven or eight female doctors in white coats in the room, cleaning up the mess after the birth.
Qin Shu came out of the bathroom and asked in surprise, "Why did you come in?"
As soon as she finished cleaning herself, she saw Xie Lanzhi, who looked unhappy and was shrouded in a low mood.
Seeing Qin Shu’s pale face, Xie Lanzhi quickly walked forward and hugged her around the waist.
"Why are you in the field? You just gave birth to a child. Do you want to die?"
Qin Shu took the opportunity to put her arms around Xie Lanzhi's neck and soothed him softly, "Yaoyao was very small. I gave birth to her in an instant, so I didn't feel anything."
Xie Lanzhi's face was full of anger, but his voice was gentle: "You can't do that."
He was angry with himself for coming so late.
"Have you gone to see Yaoyao?" Qin Shu, who was placed on the bed, looked at the grumpy Xie Lanzhi with a smile.
Xie Jinyao is their daughter.
Yao refers to beautiful jade, symbolizing preciousness and implying being loved like a treasure.
"No." Xie Lanzhi sat on the bed and looked at Qin Shu distressedly: "Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot this time?"
Seeing the man's distressed face, Qin Shu's heart softened: "It doesn't hurt, my daughter is very small and very beautiful."
"Well, I'll go see her later--"
Xie Lanzhi glanced at the bed sheet that was tidied by the doctor, which was stained with large patches of glaring blood.
He held Qin Shu's hand a little tighter.
