"The... the royal guards?"
Hua Rongsheng was stunned when he heard this.
"Mom, this matter is very strange. It is not appropriate to make it public before the truth is known." Mu Lige said sternly.
"Okay, okay..." Hua Rongsheng was so frightened that she was at a loss. Fortunately, her husband was a calm man, so it was always right to listen to him.
When Mu Lige thought of the pure mutton-fat jade pendant that Ye Maochun gave her on the eve of her wedding, she felt a little panicked for some reason.
The sudden arrival of the imperial guards at the remote Hua family was unusual in itself, and it was most likely related to his young wife's background. Sixteen years later, someone suddenly came to investigate the Hua family, suggesting something major was happening in the capital. I wondered if the emperor was acting out of kindness or malice...
Mu Lige pinched his brows in frustration, then within a few breaths regained his gentle demeanor. Regardless, he couldn't panic at this moment...
"Mom, for safety's sake, you and Dad will stay here for the time being. You can go back after everything is clear. If there's anything important, tell me where it is and I'll have Zuo An get it."
Mu Lige gently stroked his nearly four-month-old belly, feeling both tender and helpless. Now that he was six months pregnant, his yin and yang were in disarray, and his power was greatly diminished. If something unexpected happened, he feared he wouldn't have time to care for Hua's mother and father. Only by keeping them in his sight could he feel at ease.
"Okay, okay. It's nothing important. I'll go teach the students tomorrow morning, and I'll pack some clothes when I come back in the evening."
Although Hua Rongsheng was a scholar, she was only a scholar. The man behind the secret guards was the emperor, a man she would never see in her lifetime. Just now, she ran all the way from the beginning of the village to the end, driven only by her worry for her husband.
Now that she had calmed down, Hua Rongsheng was still frightened when she thought of the cold sword that was placed on her neck and the cold gaze of the masked woman in black. Her legs were still slightly weak at this moment.
"Mom, my third brother should have checked Dad out. Let's go in and take a look."
"Yes, okay, okay..."
Hua Rongsheng staggered and almost fell when he stepped over the threshold. Fortunately, Mu Lige, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, reached out and helped him up, preventing him from falling.
"Sanlang, how is your father?" Hua Rongsheng asked Han Yichen impatiently as soon as he entered the room.
"Mom, big brother. Don't worry, Dad is fine."
Han Yichen, who was sitting in front of the bed, withdrew the golden needle that had been inserted into Hua's father Ye Maochun's body, and gave Hua Rongsheng and Mu Lige a soothing look.
"Nothing? How is that possible? I just saw him injured and bleeding." Hua Rongsheng came to the bed with a nervous look on his face, looking worriedly at Ye Maochun who was leaning against the head of the bed.
"Yes, Sanlang. You don't have to worry that I can't handle the stimulation. Just tell me the truth! Is it because my period has come that my stomach suddenly hurts so badly? Is this a sign of a heavy hemorrhage, so I fainted?"
Sitting at the head of the bed, Ye Maochun looked at Hua Rongsheng with reluctance, then looked at Mu Lige. His granddaughter and grandson weren't even born yet, was he going to leave like this?
"Dad, you didn't..."
"Dad, don't say that. What will I do if you leave?"
Han Yichen was interrupted by Hua's mother before he could finish his words. The two of them were "holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless and choked with emotion."
"Mom, Dad, calm down! Dad is fine. He just fainted from overwork and some signs of miscarriage. I just gave him some Yitai pills made with Yifucao mixed with precious herbs, and I also gave him acupuncture to stop the bleeding. He just needs to rest in bed for the next three days and he'll be fine."
Looking at Hua's mother and father who were immersed in each other's world and staring at each other endlessly, Han Yichen finally couldn't help but interrupt them.
"Miscarriage?" Ye Maochun looked at Han Yichen in amazement upon hearing that.
"Well, Daddy is only about a month pregnant now, and the baby isn't settled yet, so he can't overwork himself."
"This... is this true?" Hua's mother was also incredulous when she heard Han Yichen's words.
After Ye Maochun gave birth to her daughter, she was so heartbroken over her daughter's death that she damaged her body and never got pregnant again. Who would have thought that sixteen years later, she would suddenly get pregnant again?
"Yes, Dad, you have to be careful from now on and don't disturb the fetus." Han Yichen warned with a serious face.
"This, this... isn't this just like an old clam giving birth to a pearl? If the gossipy men in the village knew about this, wouldn't they be laughed to death?"
Ye Maochun cupped his hands around his burning cheeks, his ears slightly reddening. His daughter's husband was still pregnant, and he hadn't taken care of her, hadn't gone to help with the confinement, hadn't helped raise the child. But now, wouldn't he have to rely on his daughter's husbands to take care of him during the confinement period?
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? What's the saying that an old clam gives birth to a pearl? We are clearly old and have a child! If we have another son, won't we have both a son and a daughter? What a blessing!" Hua Rongsheng was immediately overjoyed, and even the fear of being almost killed by the secret guard disappeared.
"Dad, you're only thirty-four, not old at all. You just don't dress well. If you tidy yourself up a bit, you'll be a handsome young man!"
Han Yichen narrowed his charming narrow eyes and looked at Ye Maochun with a charming smile. His father-in-law actually had a good figure, and his appearance was not bad. His skin was also good. If he was saved, he could become a handsome man.
"You did injure yourself before, but you've been taking the conditioning medicine I prescribed for you regularly over the past two years. With your current physique, giving birth to another child is no problem at all."
