After Gongsun Ze left Ning Xin Yuan, he did not leave the mansion and instead went to his own personal storage.

He had fought outside for many years, and every time he took a certain place, he would always have some decent progress. Most of these benefits were in Gongsun Ze's hand. He felt that if a man didn't have money by his side, he wouldn't have the confidence. In his opinion, the man who handed over his personal storage to a woman to take care of was a fool. If he put everything by his wife's side, how much face would he have left if he wanted to use something against her? He might as well hold the key himself. If he was in a good mood, he would choose one or two items for his wife. If he was in a bad mood, he would play with them himself.

Gongsun Ze felt that since he had decided to go see Yingxue, he couldn't go empty-handed. Although he was not very satisfied with her recent performance, but for the sake of his son in her stomach, so what if he spoiled her for a period of time?

After selecting for half a day, Gongsun Ze picked a jade hairpin. He heard that jade could provide for people. If she wore it, her son might also receive some benefits. The hairpin is a blooming lotus flower, jade is excellent, warm and transparent. Anyone that Gongsun Ze took a fancy to and brought back to the mansion was naturally no ordinary person. "Gongsun Ze took a brocade box and put the jade hairpin back into his pocket.

Zhou Yingxue woke up very early today. She hadn't slept well since last night, and now that she looked at herself in the mirror, her mood was even worse. Because of his pregnancy, his face was not as pale as it used to be. Now, looking at it, it looked even more haggard. Her recent expression was almost incomparable to that of a young maid, so she didn't like them at all.

Seeing the maid Xiao Xiang who had rushed over from the Zhou Mansion earlier to help her with her makeup, Zhou Yingxue's mood improved a little. The corner of his mouth curved up in a happy smile. Whether a person was beautiful or not depended on it. The only drawback was that the maid's hand was not good enough. However, looking at her reflection in the mirror, Zhou Yingxue felt that she looked pretty good, as if she had returned to her previous self.

When Gongsun Ze entered, he saw Zhou Yingxue flirting with her head towards the mirror. Seeing this scene, Gongsun Ze suddenly felt that his whole body was in a bad situation. He felt that his head wasn't safe. If he was out on the battlefield, would he... Although Murong Yao's appearance was average, she was still more obedient. At this time, Gongsun Ze suddenly found a sliver of benefit from his wife.

Although Xiao Xiang had just arrived at the mansion to serve Zhou Yingxue, she knew that General Gongsun would be their Young Master from now on. Thus, when he came, he didn't intentionally inform Zhou Yingxue, which was why he was able to see the scene in front of him.

Zhou Yingxue noticed Gongsun Ze's arrival very quickly because she was looking into the mirror. In front of Gongsun Ze, Zhou Yingxue still knew how to behave. She acted like a spoiled child, got a little angry and comforted him. She felt like she had Gongsun Ze firmly in her hands. Now that she had a child, she felt that her weight in his heart should be greater.

Zhou Yingxue stood up and slowly walked in front of Gongsun Ze, pretending to be elegant. She wanted him to take a good look at her dress today. Zhou Yingxue's back was facing Gongsun Ze just now, so Gongsun Ze didn't see it clearly. When she turned around, Gongsun Ze, who had just relaxed, immediately frowned. At this moment, she was wearing a bun, with a butterfly love dress in the middle. She was wearing heavy makeup and a green low-cut, high-waisted dress. She looked very cool, but in Gongsun Ze's eyes, she looked very frivolous.

If it was a few years ago, if Zhou Yingxue had dressed up like this, Gongsun Ze would have praised her, "What a beautiful woman." But now, twenty years had already passed. Not only had she become his person, she was even carrying his child. Yet, why did she dress up like an unmarried virgin? Could it be that he couldn't enter the Gongsun family's residence and wanted to rely on this appearance to hire someone else to become his disciple? Humph! Then, he recalled that it was originally a Zhou Mansion Courtyard, and it was located in a remote place …

Seeing the disdain and disgust in Gongsun Ze's eyes, Zhou Yingxue could not believe it.

Zhou Yingxue naturally felt that as long as she was still a girl, it was normal for her to comb the hair of an unmarried woman into a bun. Most importantly, she felt that this bun was the most beautiful one, much more beautiful than the other bun she combed a few days ago. Today, although her makeup was a bit thick, but when she looked at it herself, it gave off a kind of alluring beauty. "Compared with her original, unpowdered, pure appearance, this was the best of two.

Recently, she was pregnant. She wore a low-cut, high-waisted dress that covered her stomach and accentuated her sense of beauty. Therefore, she didn't understand what Gongsun Ze didn't like about her.

Thinking over and over again, he could be said to be extremely obedient to her before she became pregnant. After having a child, he would often frown at her, so he did not cherish her when she got it, or did he actually not care about the child and only care about the extreme joy. If it was the latter, she would definitely be at a disadvantage right now. She was pregnant and naturally could not serve him. On the other hand, that vixen Murong Yao had put in a lot of effort in order to pull him back.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Yingxue's expression turned sinister. The good mood he had felt because he was satisfied with today's makeup had disappeared, leaving behind only thick suspicion and a crazy amount of jealousy.

Gongsun Ze didn't feel comfortable so he naturally didn't want Zhou Yingxue to feel comfortable. Why was it that when she had put on her heavy makeup, he should have been extremely worried. Suddenly recalling the purpose of this trip, he no longer worried about whether she was pregnant or not. "From what mother said, yesterday you sent someone to the manor to tell her that you were pregnant with a son?"

Zhou Yingxue didn't hear the coldness in his words and only thought that he knew that he was a son in her womb and had only come to please her today. Thinking this way, perhaps she had misjudged him just now. Thus, she smiled as she went forward to greet him and held his arm. "Yesterday, I specifically asked the doctor for confirmation before going to the mansion to announce the good news. I know that mother has been yearning for this grandson for a long time. It's fine if I make her happy. Darling, are you happy? "

Normally, Zhou Yingxue would address Gongsun Ze as' Brother Ze '. Even though he was only a few days older than her, it could be considered a form of interest to call him' husband 'at times. However, today, it was his' mother 'and' husband '. In Gongsun Ze's ears, it was Zhou Yingxue who cared about his reputation.

Although Gongsun Ze didn't really like Murong Yao, the reason why he married her was because it was suitable for them to marry each other. But, apart from being childless, she was indeed a good wife. As for Zhou Yingxue, although she was one of the young misses, he always felt that she had the manner of a woman, being frivolous and lacking in dignity.

"Didn't you already say so? Once I've made my arrangements, I'll welcome you to the palace. Are you trying to make use of my mother's eagerness to force me to welcome you into the manor as soon as possible? "

"Brother Ze, please don't wrongly accuse me." Zhou Yingxue, who was told about the main topic, got angry from embarrassment. After which, she realized that her tone was not very good, and her voice lowered once again, "I've already said this before, I don't care about reputation. As long as you and your child are with me. However, a child has to grow up. If he finds out about his background in the future, what if he resents his mother? If his identity was unknown, what future would he have? If she is a daughter, you and I can give her more dowry. But he is a son. I can suffer the grievances of others, but my son cannot. After he finished speaking, there were no more words, only sobs.

Gongsun Ze naturally cared a lot about the future of his son. Hearing Yingxue's grievance, his heart softened, "I didn't say I won't welcome you into the family, can't you be more patient?"

"I can wait, but my son can't." Zhou Yingxue said in a huff. However, if she acted like this as a little girl in normal times, she would naturally be a little cute while she was mature. Today, it was terror that brought a little horror. She wore thick makeup and cried once. When he looked up, it almost scared Gongsun Ze to the point that he sat on the ground.

Seeing Zhou Yingxue like this, Gongsun Ze lost all interest. He could only endure the 'torture'. After comforting her for a while, he said that he had something to do and left in a hurry. Seeing Gongsun Ze being chased by evil spirits, Zhou Yingxue pulled the handkerchief in her hand with all her might and bit down hard on her teeth. Just like what she told him just now, she couldn't wait any longer. Touching her slightly protruding belly, Zhou Yingxue came up with an idea.

Murong Yao slept until the afternoon. The time to pay her respects had long since passed. After getting up, he called for Chun'er. As she had expected, her mother-in-law did not send anyone to inquire after her. When he thought of his mother-in-law, he remembered what his mother-in-law had said that morning. Nanny had only given her husband three days. What sort of decision would he make?

Actually, there were only two situations. First, whether it was leaving or abandoning her, it all depended on whether her husband was willing to give her face and not think about the feelings of a husband and wife that had been with her for so many years. Second, letting Zhou Yingxue in as his wife or his concubine depended on how important she was in her husband's heart. It had only been three days, and she could still wait. Even if she was anxious, it shouldn't be because she, the principal wife who was carried into the mansion by the palanquin, was anxious.

Murong Yao was right. Gongsun Ze wasn't particularly anxious about this matter. Even if he wasn't able to invite Zhou Yingxue in before the birth of the child, he could still use other names to raise the child under Murong Yao's name. Therefore, the one who was truly worried was Zhou Yingxue, who was pregnant. As for the Zhou family, even if Zhou Yingxue married into the Gongsun family, it would still be a scandal. Therefore, even though they wanted to force Gongsun Ze, they didn't dare to do it openly.

After Murong Yao woke up, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth before taking a late lunch. Afterwards, she went to rest on the small collapse by the window. The movements of those wives were indeed swift. However, after one day, the courtyard had become much quieter. At this moment, Murong Yao was half-sitting on the small canyon. She leaned against the window, looking at the dazzling sunlight on the leaves in the distance, listening to the occasional bird song and feeling the warm breeze brush her face. It was her first time enjoying such a cozy afternoon.

When Chun'er received the news and entered the door, she immediately saw a young lady who was smiling with her eyes closed, looking much more relaxed. Chun'er hesitated on the spot as she recalled the news that she had just heard. It was not easy for the young lady to feel better …

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Murong Yao opened her eyes and asked with a smile, "Chun'er, what's wrong?"

"Mm …" It's all right. I … Just to see if Miss has anything to do with me. "If there's nothing else, then Chun'er will be leaving first." Otherwise, we can talk about it later. Tomorrow, anyway.

"Chun'er, even you are lying to me now?" Normally, if I didn't ask for you, when have you ever come in here on your own accord other than when you're busy? Say, paper can't cover up a fire, but there are bad rumors outside. "

"Not really. It was the gatekeeper who said that Miss Zhou had sent you a message saying that she would be waiting for you at Sun Restaurant tomorrow at three quarters of the hour, and that she had something to discuss with you. " And then he somewhat disdainfully said, "Isn't it all because of the mess of being forced to become a concubine and you still have the nerve to say it in the restaurant? Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

The corner of Murong Yao's mouth twitched, and then revealed another perfect smile, "She, it's just a broken tin, she's probably afraid that no one will know, and want us to give her an explanation with her Gongsun Mansion, right?" She had been married for five years, yet she had no children. It had only been a few months, and her stomach could already see that.

"If you don't tell me about this, how will the concierge respond?"

Chun'er said indifferently, "Just let her wait. We're not in a hurry anyway."

It turned out that she didn't notice Chun'er's personality at all. After Murong Yao smiled, she said, "Go to the gatekeeper and tell him that I'll be there on time."

"Miss, are you really going?"

"Why didn't you go? Didn't you say that I'm the legal wife and she's the concubine? Could it be that I have to be afraid of her?" Murong Yao blinked her eyes and teased.

"Chun'er is afraid that Miss will suffer a loss. After all, Miss Zhou has always been a formidable person." It turned out that she had always been shunning and bullying the young miss when she was young.

"With Chun'er accompanying me, what do I have to fear from your Miss?"

"Miss, do you want to take me with you?" Chun'er's eyes lit up. Ever since Miss got married, they rarely went out to play.

"Of course, you are the most aggressive out of all the people around me. I can only relax with you by my side."

Chun'er: "…" For such a reason? He couldn't be happy anymore.
