...When Duke Liang heard the news that Liang Shuyi was pregnant again, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. After a while, he thought he had misheard: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The Qilin Guard, disguised as a servant from the Duke of Liang's mansion, repeated, "The young lady is pregnant, and has been for over a month. Madam told you and your son-in-law not to worry. If anything unexpected were to happen, they would definitely not be foolish enough to stay."
Without anyone telling him, Duke Liang could imagine the intense joy and sorrow his wife had gone through that morning, his palms sweating. "It's only been over a month, and the baby isn't even settled yet. Chen Xin is really something; he's just a doctor... No, no, no, it's me, the father, who's useless. Chen Xin is busy with things outside every day, and Shuyi doesn't want him to worry when he comes home. Alas, my dear child, I only hope that God will bless you and give you the chance to come into this world and see you."
The Qilin Guard asked, "Master, what about the matter in the mansion..."
Duke Liang sighed deeply and said, "Let's wait and see what happens. We must keep an eye on the young lady. She has a quick temper. If she impulsively comes running, it will be really troublesome."
"Yes, I will go back immediately." Just as the Qilin Guard was about to go back to report the news, he was grabbed by Liang Guogong and whispered, "I know you are the Qilin Guard beside Chen Xin. I, an old man, ask you for a favor. If something really happens to us, no matter what, you must send them to Qingliang Valley."
The Qilin Guards assured, "We understand, Duke, don't worry."
"Thank you very much."
When Duke Liang came back with a heavy face, Chen Xin and these old men thought that Tianshu Tower not only detained them here, but also wanted to attack their families, so they surrounded them.
Shen Xin asked nervously, "Father, did something big happen in the mansion? Why do you look so ugly?"
"Alas," sighed Duke Liang, who said he would take his time to organize his words before telling Chen Xin. Duke Liang didn't answer Chen Xin's question, but instead asked him a very strange question: "By the way, I remember Shuyi gave you a purse with a lot of small goldfish in it, right?"
Chen Xin replied somewhat confusedly: "There is such a thing. It says that if you meet a child of an acquaintance when you are out and about, you can give the child a small gift."
When talking about children, Duke Liang thought of Shuang'er. That was the little one his daughter had brought home after a near-death experience. As a grandfather, he had only met her a few times. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "You also like children. I wonder if our Shuang'er is doing well now."
Chen Xin comforted him, "Don't worry, father. She has many uncles and aunts in Qingliang Valley. No one dares to bully her. Achen also treats her as his own daughter."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Did you bring the purse with you?"
Although the change of topic by Duke Liang was really unexpected, Chen Xin still took out the purse that Xiaoxin had hidden in his arms and handed it over.
The people standing by and watching were saying, "Why are they always talking about his little grandson?" "The Duke was just hurriedly called away. Did something happen in the mansion?"
"Nothing serious has happened. Consider this little goldfish a gift." After saying this, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Duke Liang began to distribute the little goldfish to these old men one by one.
Lord Wenxian, who had been sitting silently, finally moved his seat and spoke. He stretched his neck to look at the little goldfish in Duke Liang's hand, and said sarcastically with disgust, "Hey, you old man, what are you doing? You treat us like children."
Duke Liang angrily threw two tiny goldfish at him and said sarcastically, "What are you talking about, you old stubborn guy? You were playing dumb just now, pretending not to see me, but now that you see something good to gain, you have the audacity to come and talk to me!"
Wen Xian simply put the little goldfish in his arms and said with a straight face: "Bah, I don't bother to pay attention to you."
Wen Xian and Duke Liang were lifelong lovers. Just now, when he saw him and remained silent, he thought he was really going to die. Now the old man was stirring again. He must have figured out something after sitting there for so long. "Hmph, I'm telling you, I'm going to be a grandfather again. Go ahead and envy me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly congratulated him, "So that's how it is. Congratulations, Duke, and congratulations, Lord Shen!"
The most confused person among this group of people was Chen Xin. He was still confused and didn't understand the situation: "Father, this!"
Duke Liang patted his shoulder gently and said, "It's only been a little over a month. For the child to be born safely, we must return alive this time, and we must return safely."
Chen Xin was slightly stunned. He was a doctor himself, but he hadn't noticed Liang Shuyi's pregnancy these days. He was really incompetent: "I was negligent."
Wen Xian smiled and said, "Boy, you've done well enough. Unlike my son, he left me and went away."
At the mention of Wen Xian's son, everyone present who knew about the old story could not help but shut up. Only Duke Liang dared to nag him again: "On such a happy day, what are you talking about? Come on, I'll give you a few more to shut your mouth!"
Wen Xian put away the little goldfish that he had just dismissed as childish toys without any hesitation, and asked, "Where's your granddaughter? She doesn't seem to be coming with you this time?"
Duke Liang's ears were fine, but he just didn't want to say it. He just boasted, "My little cutie is so pretty, just as beautiful as her mother!"
The two old guys started bickering for no apparent reason over a small goldfish. Amidst the noise, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but feel a little relieved. "Hahaha, listening to the Duke and the Marquis talking, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a lot better."
Qian Heng also said: "Yes, let's wait and see if Tianshu Tower can still turn the world upside down!"
...The woman who was previously in charge of monitoring Yaochen had been transferred to another location. The person who came now was Xiahou Qing's subordinate, a man who rarely showed up in public. His name was Lu Mu.
Although the East Palace's gates were locked, it was impossible not to hear the commotion outside. The people in Tianshu Tower listened to the old men's increasingly harsh curses, and they couldn't take action. They were also very conflicted: "Sir, it seems that those royal relatives outside can't wait any longer."
Lu Mu looked at Yao Chen, who was dying on the bed, and said coldly, "We have to wait even if we can't. If they knew that Yao Chen was poisoned by the heartbreak grass, who knows what kind of trouble they would make. Where is the Pavilion Master now?"
