Zi'an walked over step by step, with a blazing fire in his eyes. "You know what I said. I know you are going to be a father and you are happy now, but can you control your wife and not show off in front of Zhuangzhuang? You are so content to build your happiness on someone else's wounds?"
Xiao Xiao's expression changed slightly, "Princess, do you mean that Han Qingqiu went to see the princess? Did she tell the princess that she was pregnant?"
Murong Jie stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "What happened? Is that bastard Han Qingqiu pregnant?"
Zi'an didn't answer Murong Jie, but said to Xiao Xiao in a stern voice, "That's right. She went to the princess's mansion today, saying that she was here to pay her respects to the princess, but she was telling the princess intentionally or unintentionally that she was pregnant with your child. Xiao Xiao, people are made of flesh and blood. Your happiness is your business. Please don't hurt others, okay? Considering that you and Zhuangzhuang grew up together, please be a little merciful to her. She has not lived a human life these years. Even an outsider like me feels sorry for her. After all, you loved her. Let her go, okay?"
Zi'an was so angry that he couldn't help but slap her. "Go back to the border. What are you doing here? How long are you going to hurt her?"
Xiao Xiao's face turned ugly, and he turned and left without saying a word.
Zi'an chased after him, "Explain your words clearly!"
Xiao Xiao stared at her and said, "You want to know what's going on? Okay, just follow me." After saying that, he turned away.
Zi'an said bitterly, "Okay, I'll follow you and see what you guys are up to."
Murong Jie grabbed her arm and said, "Why are you interfering in the affairs of a couple?"
Zi'an was very angry, "I just want to get involved. I have something to do, and Zhuangzhuang was the first to stand up. She is in trouble now and has been hurt. Seeing her like that, I am so angry that I am about to explode."
Seeing that she was really angry, Murong Jie said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."
After Xiao Xiao returned to the capital, he has been living in the Marquis' Mansion and rarely returns to the General's Mansion.
This is his second time going back after this time.
Living here is Han Qingqiu, the person he doesn't want to see.
The first time he came back, it was because the elders from the Marquis' Mansion wanted to come over for a cup of tea and sit down. He had his own mansion, so he could only go back to the General's Mansion to greet him.
This was the second time, and he really wanted to know how she got pregnant with his child
The housekeeper in the mansion was extremely excited when he saw Xiao Xiao coming back, "The general is back!"
Everyone in the mansion told the news and was filled with joy.
Zi'an and Murong Jie looked at each other. Zi'an was secretly puzzled. Why were the servants in the mansion so happy? Could it be that Xiao Xiao didn't come back often
Xiao Xiao strode in with a sullen face, his black sleeves fluttering as he walked so fast. As he walked, he asked, "Where's Han Qingqiu?"
"General, the madam is in the room. I will send someone to fetch her." The housekeeper immediately turned around and ordered, "Hurry up and tell the madam that the general is back."
"Yes!" The servant hurried away.
The butler wanted to take off Xiao Xiao's outer garment, but Xiao Xiao sat down. The butler was startled, "The general is still leaving?"
Xiao Xiao said calmly: "Yes!"
The housekeeper's hand stopped in mid-air, as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable. "You just came back, and you're leaving again? Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"
"No, maybe later!" Xiao Xiao said with no expression on his face.
The butler replied, "Yes, from now on, I will wait for the general to come back, if I can live that long."
Zi'an became more and more confused after listening to these conversations. Xiao Xiao had been back in Beijing for more than two months, so why did the housekeeper act as if he had never interacted with him
There were rapid footsteps outside the door. Zi'an looked up and saw Han Qingqiu leading two maids in. Han Qingqiu had a look of ecstasy on her face. She didn't even notice Murong Jie and Zi'an. She walked straight to Xiao Xiao and stared at him, "You're back?"
Xiao Xiao raised his dark eyes to look at her, his face frosty, but his lips curled up into a sneer, "Madam is pregnant, shouldn't I come to congratulate you? I can also ask Madam to clarify that the child in your belly is not my own, so as to avoid misunderstandings."
Han Qingqiu's expression changed drastically, "No, husband, it's not like that..." She looked to the right suddenly, and saw Murong Jie and Xia Zian here. Her panic turned into a sneer, and she said hatefully, "So, it was the princess who asked her to come and complain to you. After so many years, can't you let her go? What does it mean that she complained to you? When will it be her turn to intervene in the affairs between us as husband and wife?"
Zi'an sneered back, "You're wrong. I'm not here to complain, I'm here to question him, not just him, but you as well. I tolerated you in front of the princess before, but that doesn't mean I don't plan to intervene. What's your intention? Why did you go to the princess to show off your pregnancy? What's your plan? Don't tell me that more than a decade has passed and you suddenly want to show off your happiness. You're kidding."
Han Qingqiu didn't expect Zi'an to say this. She was a little panicked for a moment. "I'm not going there to show off, and I don't have any ulterior motives. I just remembered that I haven't seen the princess for a long time, so I went to visit her. What's wrong with that?"
"You told her you were pregnant, right?" Xiao Xiao stared at her and asked sternly.
Han Qingqiu was speechless, "This... I just, just want to see if she has let you go."
Han Qingqiu raised his head, calmed himself and started to attack, "The facts prove that if she cares about whether I am pregnant or not, it proves that she has never given up her extravagant thoughts about you. She still misses you. She has no shame!"
Xiao Xiao slapped Han Qingqiu in the face without thinking, causing her to fall to the side.
"If you dare to say anything bad about her again, I will kill you!" Xiao Xiao stared at Han Qingqiu like a devil, with a terrifying face.
Zi'an had never seen Xiao Xiao like this before. Just as the princess said, he used to be like a piece of wood, a frozen wood, with never any expression on his face. This was the first time he had seen such ferocity.
But only this kind of momentum is worthy of the identity of a battlefield general.
Han Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, tears fell down, and she said sharply: "You hit me? After so many years, you still hit me for her? What right do you have? Is this my fault? She misses my husband, and I still have to put up with her? Xiao Xiao, you are unfair to me!"
Xiao Xiao's voice was cold, "Fairness? Didn't you want the identity of the general's wife from the beginning? What fairness do you want? From the day I accepted the deal, I said that you can't go in front of her. Do you want me to divorce you?"
Han Qingqiu's expression changed drastically. "Are you crazy? How can you say that?"
How could he say these words? Yes, now he had nothing to be afraid of, so of course he dared to say them.
However, she was unwilling to accept it. After so many years, even if she was just a piece of stone, it was time to warm it up. She had been waiting for him in Beijing for so many years, and this was the result she got
She really doesn't want to accept this!
How is she inferior to Murong Zhuangzhuang? Isn't it just that she is more fortunate to be reborn as a princess
