Chapter 349 Comfort
When Lan Qiu heard Xiao Muheng's voice, she immediately shouted outside in ecstasy: "Master, I am here to tell you the good news. The doctor just took my pulse and found that my aunt has been pregnant for more than a month."
Chong'an opened his mouth in surprise.
Lan Qiu caught a glimpse of his astonished expression out of the corner of her eye, raised her chin triumphantly, and snorted loudly.
Do you still dare to stop me now? This is the eldest young master's first child.
Squeak——
The door of the study was opened from the inside and Xiao Muheng walked out.
His sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, his eyes were slightly raised, and under his high nose, his thin lips were lightly pursed into a line, revealing his heroic spirit.
Lan Qiu looked at the handsome and steady man in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of shyness.
The young master is really... so handsome.
"Are you pregnant?" he asked in disbelief.
Lan Qiu smiled and said, "Yes, the doctor just took my pulse. I heard the news and came to report it to you, Master. However, the doctor said that my aunt was stimulated and the fetus is a little unstable. Master, my aunt is pregnant now, so you must not have an abortion."
Xiao Muheng looked a little dazed, but when he heard that she was having her first child, he felt secretly happy.
"Since you are pregnant, you will not be punished. Just keep her under house arrest and take good care of your aunt." Xiao Muheng said, "Zhongan, ask the doctor to come over and report back."
"Young Master, aren't you going to visit your aunt?" Lan Qiu asked blankly with her smile frozen on her face when she saw that Xiao Muheng didn't seem as excited as she had imagined.
She thought that the eldest master would be overjoyed and go to see his aunt immediately when he learned that his aunt was pregnant.
But no.
"I'll go when I have time." Xiao Muheng said lightly.
When Xiao Muheng thought of Lu Mingzhu's current face that looked like a pig's head, he really had no intention of looking at her.
What's more, Lu Mingzhu had tricked him just now.
Liu Er had been beaten up and sold out by him.
It was indeed a good thing that he had a son, but before that he had to appease Liu Anyao first. After all, the illegitimate son was born before the legitimate son, and as the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's family, Liu Anyao might not be able to accept it. However, no matter how cold-blooded Xiao Muheng was, he could not bear to harm his own child.
The Liu family is his only support now, and he cannot make Liu Anyao unhappy.
"But..." Lan Qiu opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted impatiently by Xiao Muheng.
"Okay, you go back first."
Lan Qiu pursed her lips and bowed, saying, "Yes, I'll take my leave."
The news that Lu Mingzhu was pregnant quickly spread throughout the Xiao Mansion like a gust of wind.
In the main courtyard, Liu Anyao threw things all over the floor, furious.
"That bitch Lu Mingzhu is actually pregnant."
Originally, Xiao Muheng protected her from severe punishment. Now that she is pregnant, he still protects her like the apple of his eye?
Liu Anyao was both angry and jealous.
"Madam, Aunt Lu is just pregnant now. She is still eight or nine months away from giving birth. Who knows whether she can give birth in the end. You must not get angry and hurt yourself." Shuhua advised with a sinister look on her face.
The implication is that between now and the time of delivery, they have plenty of opportunities to get rid of the child.
Even if a son is born, who can guarantee that the child will grow up safely?
That being said, things got out of control again and Liu Anyao almost went crazy.
Shuhua pulled Liu Anyao to sit down, then went out to call the maids to come in and clean up.
After sweeping up the last piece of debris, I heard greetings coming from the yard.
"This servant has met the young master."
Shuhua's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself that it was a lucky thing that she had asked someone to clean up the room quickly, otherwise when the young master came in and saw the mess in the room, he would definitely guess that the mistress was holding a grudge against Aunt Lu, which would be bad for their relationship.
"Young Master." Shuhua walked to the door and said with an embarrassed smile.
Xiao Muheng nodded, not noticing anything unusual about the calligraphy and painting.
"I want to have a word with my wife."
Shuhua understood that this meant that she was not allowed to stay in the room, so she retreated.
When Liu Anyao saw Xiao Muheng, she concealed the vicious look in her eyes and stood up to greet him with a gentle smile.
"Husband, congratulations, Aunt Lu is pregnant. This is your first child."
Xiao Muheng looked at the woman in front of him who was not beautiful but elegant, and felt more and more sorry for her.
"Yao'er..."
He called out, not knowing how to start.
Liu Anyao tilted her head slightly and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong with my husband? Is there something wrong with Aunt Lu's body?"
Xiao Muheng shook his head: "No, Mingzhu's pregnancy is very good."
Pearl...
Haha, in just a short while she changed from Lu to Mingzhu, and she calls me that in a very affectionate way.
Liu Anyao only felt a ball of anger burning in her chest, as if it was about to burst out in the next moment.
She tried her best to suppress the jealousy in her heart, and put on a forced smile and said, "What happened?"
Xiao Muheng said: "Yao'er, although the eldest son is not a legitimate child, the child between you and me will definitely be the legitimate child that I value the most in the future. I don't want you to feel wronged for this. I didn't expect Mingzhu to be pregnant, but after all, she is my flesh and blood, I... I will always be reluctant to give her up."
"What are you talking about, my husband? This is your first child. Even if you don't want it, I won't allow you to do so. Aunt Lu came into the mansion before me, so it's normal for her to get pregnant before me. You can't not allow other children in the mansion to be born just because I can't give birth to a legitimate son." Liu Anyao glared at Xiao Muheng and said.
But in his heart he wished he could cut Lu Mingzhu into pieces.
Xiao Muheng came to talk to her specifically for this purpose, just to comfort herself. Liu Anyao did not think that Xiao Muheng simply did not want her to feel aggrieved because the eldest son of a concubine was born first, but rather felt that he came to persuade her on behalf of Lu Mingzhu.
After all, the child was born to him by the woman he loved. Was Xiao Muheng afraid that he would do something to Lu Mingzhu?
Liu Anyao was so angry that she vomited blood.
Xiao Muheng had no idea what was in her mind, the two of them just had their own understandings of each other.
After waking up, Lu Mingzhu found out that she was pregnant and was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"This child really came at the right time."
Lan Qiu was still immersed in the sadness that Xiao Muheng was unwilling to come to see Lu Mingzhu. When she heard Lu Mingzhu's words, she couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on him: "But I see that the eldest young master doesn't seem happy and doesn't even want to come to see the aunt."
"Lan Qiu..." Huamei suddenly called out to Lan Qiu loudly, rebuking her unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did the young master become unhappy about the arrival of this child?"
Lu Mingzhu looked at Lan Qiu in astonishment: "What do you mean by that?"
