Chapter 329 Fu Jin 36

"Qiqige." Qingning glanced casually and accidentally caught a glimpse of the Eighth Lady's eyes full of resentment and hatred not far from them. So she winked at Qiqige, signaling her to take a look.

Qiqige naturally understood who was staring at her with such malicious eyes, and she was also well aware of Qingning's reminder.

"Qingning, just relax. As the saying goes, 'When water comes, cover it with earth; when enemies come, fight them with soldiers.' I know what I'm doing." Qiqige responded calmly.

"She has evil intentions. Recently, I have heard some things about her behavior in the Eighth Master's mansion. Qiqige, although you have a plan to deal with it, you still have to be more careful." Qingning warned with concern.

"Qingning is absolutely right. I will keep it in mind. However, you don't have to worry about it. You should focus on taking care of your body first." Qiqige comforted Qingning.

"Qiqige, the relationship between the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master and the Eighth Master..." Qingning hesitated, but before she finished speaking, Qiqige had already understood the deep meaning. It turned out that Qingning was in charge of various affairs in the mansion recently. During this period, she noticed that although the Ninth Master owned many shops and the business seemed to be prosperous and profitable, in fact, very little money actually fell into their hands.

After deducting the dividends that were due to the Tenth Master, most of the money was lent to the Eighth Master. However, when she carefully sorted out the accounts, she was shocked to find that only the expenditure records were clearly visible, while the repayment records were very few, even close to zero.

"As the saying goes, 'A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character.' It may not be clear at present, but as time goes by, everything will come to light. However, you must make Ninth Brother deeply understand the hardships of maintaining the family and your hard work." Qiqige said earnestly. In fact, she has been making Yin'e's views and cognition of the Eighth Master clear and thorough without leaving any trace. After all, she herself has no desire to pursue power, but only wants to live a peaceful life. If she only works hard for herself, it would be fine, but I am afraid that in the end she will become a stepping stone for others to climb to a higher position, and the other party will not only not remember this friendship, but will only regard you as a tool to be driven.

She absolutely did not want to be in such a situation. Nowadays, although the relationship between Yin'e and the Eighth Master is slightly better than that of other princes, it is still a little more distant than before. After all, she used her emotions as a bargaining chip to get involved in the game. If she really cared about someone, how could she be indifferent to his daily situation? Instead, her words were full of calculations for her own interests.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights were on and the palace was decorated with lanterns and lively. Tonight was the annual Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. For Qiqige, this was not only her first time to participate in such a grand palace banquet, but also the first time in her life that she was gathered together with many princes, wives and concubines.

Time flies. After just a few days, an astonishing news spread throughout the mansion - Qiqige was pregnant! On this day, when Qiqige was sitting at the table preparing to eat as usual, the steamed sea bass that she usually liked made her feel nauseous and uncomfortable. Qiqige, who was suspicious, decided to take her own pulse and diagnose it herself. Sure enough, the pulse showed that she was successfully pregnant. However, for various reasons, she did not intend to make her proficiency in medicine public. So she asked her maid Sana to go and invite the imperial physician.

Just as Yin'e stepped into the yard, he happened to hear Xiao Xiazi report that Fu Jin had invited the imperial physician to come for a consultation. Upon hearing this news, Yin'e's heart tightened, fearing that his beloved wife was ill. He was extremely anxious, and his steps became more and more hurried. Not long after, he rushed to Qiqige's side like a flash of lightning. As soon as he entered the room, Yin'e's anxious voice resounded throughout the room: "Qiqige, how are you? What does the imperial physician have to say?" His words were full of concern and worry, as if he couldn't wait to know the answer.

Qiqige gently closed the book in her hand, her lips slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. She said softly: "Actually, I am fine, but I do have something to tell Master Yu." Her voice was gentle and melodious, like a beautiful piece of music, intoxicating.

Yin'e stared at Qiqige's pretty, radiant and smiling face, and the worry in his heart finally settled down a little. However, when he heard Qiqige claiming that she had something to tell him, he couldn't help but feel doubtful, and at the same time mixed with a little curiosity and worry, secretly wondering if Qiqige had encountered some kind of predicament.

Qiqige opened her red lips and blurted out without hesitation: "My Lord, you are about to become my father!" As soon as she finished speaking, her cheeks instantly flushed like the sunset, and her eyes were shining with happiness. She seemed to be immersed in endless joy.

"What? Oh... I'm going to be a father? What? I'm really going to be a father?" At first, Yin'e thought it was some earth-shattering event, and only after he came to his senses did he suddenly realize it. But at this moment, he was like a sudden enlightenment, and completely understood the deep meaning of this sentence - he was about to welcome the birth of a new life! In an instant, Yin'e's eyes became bright and dazzling, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.
