Pang Yi was stunned: "Really?"
"Yes, it's absolutely true! Madam has been pregnant for nearly a month!" Gu Qingtong nodded hurriedly, rubbing his hands excitedly, "This is Madam's first child. I have to discuss with Qin Chong. Starting tomorrow, I will move into Jingren Palace to take good care of Madam's baby. By the way, I have to tell Sister An about this great happy event..." When he said this, Gu Qingtong looked up at Pang Yi, who was standing in front of the door with a complicated expression on his face. Gu Qingtong pushed Pang Yi in surprise and whispered, "Hey! Brother Pang, what are you thinking about? Why are you so obsessed with lawsuits?"
"Oh, no, nothing." Pang Yi came back to his senses, shook his head at Gu Qingtong, and turned to walk out.
"Brother Pang, are you leaving now?" Gu Qingtong was very surprised and chased after him. Naturally, the feelings between these people were different, so Pang Yi had not yet congratulated Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya in person before leaving, which made Gu Qingtong very puzzled, "Brother Pang, aren't you going in to see the lady?"
"I have something important to do on hand. I will come with Hailin later to congratulate Madam." Pang Yi said in a deep voice. He said no more and quickly left Jingren Palace.
"What could be more important than my wife's pregnancy?" Gu Qingtong muttered softly as he looked at Pang Yi's back, then turned and went into the small kitchen.
…
Pang Yi really had something urgent to do. He had to rush to destroy the records of all the palace maids who entered the palace. He knew very well that no matter whether Zhong Mingwei would let He Chengzhi recognize his relatives, these records must not be left in the world. Compared with letting Mei Ya be involved in the big case of the previous dynasty, Ningguta's origin was undoubtedly safer and more reliable. What's more, Mei Ya was pregnant now. If she knew about these past events, it would be bad for her pregnancy. Besides, how could the daughter of a guilty minister be the queen? How could the child born of a guilty minister be included in the royal family tree or even be made the prince? Moreover, it was the case that Zhong Mingwei had decided.
Therefore, Pang Yi must destroy all the records as soon as possible.
"Oh!" After riding non-stop all the way back to the Pang Mansion, Pang Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh when he took out a thick stack of files from the bookcase.
The last time Zhong Mingwei asked him about the progress of his search, Pang Yi had already started to sort out the records of Jiasheng's palace maids entering the palace for twenty years. However, most of the records were soaked by rain at that time, so it was very difficult to search. Later, Zhong Mingwei told him not to continue the search, so he did not search any more and put the organized records in the bookcase. At this moment, he took out the records again, and his fingers trembled as he flipped through them one by one. He looked at the blurred handwriting on them, and his heart jumped into his throat...
"Pang Yi, are you back?" Suddenly, Xiao An's voice came from outside the study.
"Yes." Pang Yi responded, glancing at the record in his hand that was so soaked that the handwriting could not be seen clearly, and sat down on the chair. In fact, nothing could be seen clearly on the paper except for the two blurry words "four years old", but Pang Yi felt like he was falling into an icy cave.
"Why did you come back so suddenly?" Xiao An pushed back the door, but it was locked from the inside. Xiao An was startled, and then she didn't push the door again. She knew that Pang Yi must be doing something important, but she was still worried. After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "Pang Yi, are you okay?"
Pang Yi was still staring at the paper, breathing deeply, and after a long while he heard Xiao An's worried questioning from outside, and then he uttered two words: "It's okay."
"Oh, that's good," Xiao An heaved a sigh of relief, then walked towards the backyard, saying, "It's just that you came back early today, so accompany me to Baiweizhai later. I've been craving the hawthorn cake made by their master chef these past few days... Ouch! What are you doing? You scared me to death!"
