Xue Shao pulled Xue Mian to sit down together and said, "Nothing."
"Don't lie to me." Xue Mian leaned forward and looked carefully. "We are together every day, how can I not see it?"
Xue Shao sighed, and then said, "Okay, I know I can't hide it from you."
Xue Mian pushed him, "Hurry up and tell me, what happened."
"My mother..." Xue Shao hesitated. "
Second Aunt? What's wrong with Second Aunt?" Xue Mian tilted his head and thought about it, and soon figured it out, "Second Aunt is going to give birth to a baby, so you are unhappy?"
Xue Shao shook his head repeatedly, "I'm not unhappy, it's just... I don't know what's wrong with my heart, it's weird, blocked." Xue Mian
didn't smile anymore. Xue Shao had been in Lai Lai's house for so long, he naturally knew that Xue Shao was not the second aunt's biological child. He patted Xue Shao on the shoulder like an adult, "It's okay even if Second Aunt doesn't like you in the future. You still have me. I will treat you well, and I will share half of all the delicious and fun things I have with you in the future."
However, these words seemed to have touched Xue Shao's sore spot. Xue Shao immediately became anxious and raised his voice, "Who said that my mother doesn't like me after giving birth to a baby?"
Xue Mian also immediately said, "A Shao, I didn't mean that."
Xue Shao realized his mistake and said, "I was too excited." He lowered his head and said softly, "You are right, I am indeed afraid that my mother will not like me so much after she has her own child..."
Xue Shao patted his shoulder sympathetically and didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought that fortunately he was his mother's youngest child. Although he had an older brother, he felt that he was loved more than his older brother. And it was good to have an older brother, so that he could love him more. If he had a younger brother...his mother and his older brother might not love him as much as they do now. On Zheng Xiu's side, she and Xue Zhi had finished their dinner and heard from the servants that Xue Mian came to find Xue Shao, and the two had been talking in the room for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xue Zhi said, "These two kids have been playing so much that they have forgotten the time. I don't know if they have finished their homework. I'll go over and take a look."
Zheng Xiu thought Xue Shao's behavior was a bit strange, so she said, "I'll go."
Xue Zhi naturally refused, "You are not feeling well now, so you should rest in the house."
"It's only a few steps, just digest your food."
Seeing Zheng Xiu's insistence, Xue Zhi didn't persuade her and personally helped her out of the house.
It was only a few steps from the main house to the private room. Seeing Xue Zhi's nervous look, Zheng Xiu just laughed. But thinking that he was kind-hearted, she simply let him go.
The two arrived at the room where Xue Shao lived. The maid was guarding the door. Seeing that it was Xue Zhi and Zheng Xiu who came in person, they bowed and saluted together.
Zheng Xiu asked, "How long has the Third Young Master been in?"
The maid replied, "Almost half an hour."
Zheng Xiu nodded and asked the maid to go in and pass the message. The door was still closed from the inside. The maid knocked on the door and passed the message on behalf of Xue Zhi.
Xue Zhi said on the side, "You can ask someone to pass the message to your own child. Why don't you just go in directly?"
Zheng Xiu glanced at him and said, "The child is grown up, naturally he has his own ideas and privacy, we have to be more careful."
Xue Shao didn't agree with it in his heart, but he didn't argue with her at this time.
Soon the door was opened from the inside. Xue Shao opened the door himself, and Xue Zhi helped Zheng Xiu into the room. When crossing the threshold, Xue Zhi specifically reminded Zheng Xiu to lift her legs.
Zheng Xiu could only smile helplessly. Xue Zhi really regarded him as a person who had no ability to take care of himself.
Xue Mian called people, glanced at Xue Shao, whose face was still not very good, and said: "It's getting late, and mother should look for me. I'll go back first."
Zheng Xiu watched him go out the door, and the nanny who was guarding outside the door immediately took a cloak and put it on him.
She warned: "Mian'er, walk slowly, let the maid light a lantern and walk in front."
Xue Mian said without turning his head: "Second aunt, I know!"
Xue Shao talked to Xue Mian for a while, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Originally, this matter was just his own conjecture, but Xue Mian also thought so. Thinking that the future situation might really be like that, he felt even worse.
Seeing Xue Shao's unhappy face, Zheng Xiu pulled him to sit on the kang and asked him softly: "A Shao, what happened today? Did the teacher scold you?"
Xue Shao didn't say anything, just shook his head.
"Then tell your mother what happened?"
Xue Shao still didn't say anything, but his eyes became red.
He looked very strong and never cried easily. Zheng Xiu felt distressed and held him in her arms, "Good A Shao, tell your mother what happened? Where have you been wronged?"
Xue Shao glanced at his father.
Zheng Xiu immediately asked, "Did your father bully you?"
Xue Zhi quickly waved his hands and said innocently, "I didn't!"
Zheng Xiu didn't listen to him, but continued to ask Xue Shao softly, "Do you think your father bullied you? If so, mother would never forgive him!"
Xue Shao leaned his head on her shoulder, smelling the faint medicinal fragrance on her body, and tears fell without any defense.
Zheng Xiu noticed it, and seeing that he was unwilling to talk, she stopped forcing him, and just held him and rocked him gently.
After a while, Xue Shao spoke with tears in his eyes: "Mother, will you...will you not love me so much in the future?"
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Xiu patted his back gently, "You are a good child, why shouldn't mother love you?"
"But you are going to have a baby soon." Xue Shao said softly.
Zheng Xiu didn't expect that Xue Shao cared about this. She glared at Xue Zhi with a complaining look. When she knew the news of the pregnancy, she was ready to talk to Xue Shao herself, but Xue Zhi volunteered, saying that it was easier for him as a father to talk to his son, so Zheng Xiu let him do it. Afterwards, Xue Zhi also promised that he had talked to Xue Shao carefully and there was definitely no problem.
Is this what you mean by no problem? Zheng Xiu's eyes questioned him.
Xue Zhi looked innocent. He didn't understand. He had said it nicely at that time. His son didn't say anything at that time. He thought he wouldn't care.
Zheng Xiu pointed to the door.
Xue Zhi nodded and went out.
Only the mother and son were left in the room. Zheng Xiu felt distressed and sad. She asked Xue Shao, "Am I this kind of person in your heart? Now that you have your own child, I don't love you anymore?"
Xue Shao didn't know what to say. He regarded Zheng Xiu as his own mother, and Zheng Xiu really loved him very much, treating him no worse than Zheng Yu. But he couldn't stop being afraid. When you don't have some things, you don't feel anything, but once you have them and lose them, it would be heartbreaking.
"Silly child." Zheng Xiu hugged him tightly with heartache, "You are the first child of your father and I, and no one can replace you. Mother promises you that what you worry about will never happen."
