Chapter 714 Please tell your father the good news
As a result, thinking that he might not be able to see his wife, Jing Yi pressed Jing Chunxi against him and begged him to go in with his wife, "Dad, go in so that you can take care of your mother."
Jing Chunxi naturally would not refuse such a reason. In the end, his adoptive father and mother disappeared all day. Jing Chunxi kept Pu Ge'er and the servants out of the door on the grounds that his mother needed to rest.
So, Jing Yi and Jing Qiurong stayed in the space all day, enjoying their own world, while people outside could only worry.
Aunt Mi was so angry that she stamped her feet and scolded her son-in-law for being too domineering and confining their daughter in a small space all day long.
After three days outside, Jing Chunxi got tired of guarding the door and couldn't help but go into the space for a walk.
I walked straight into the room where my mother lived. There was no pregnant woman suffering from morning sickness lying weakly on the bed. There was only neatly folded bedding and two pillows.
Jing Chunxi was a little confused. Could it be that the role of space was really that great?
I walked around the house but didn't see anyone, so I went outside. After I went out and walked to the side, I saw two people sitting and snuggling together on the grass by the stream. Their figures looked extremely warm in the sunset.
Her mother, who had become weak in front of her adoptive father since she got married, now leaned her whole body on her adoptive father.
Seeing this, Jing Chunxi felt embarrassed even though she had lived two lives. She hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Mother, where are you?"
After a while, no one responded. Jing Chunxi called out again. Just as he was wondering why they couldn't hear him, he suddenly heard his stepfather's voice from behind him: "Xi'er, I want to discuss something with you."
"What are you discussing? I don't want to listen." Jing Chunxi felt that what he said must be bad. She turned around and pretended to cover her ears, and found that the mother she wanted to see the most did not follow her. She must be hiding there out of shyness.
"Dad, you're not pregnant, and you can't hide in this space every day. You should at least go out for a walk sooner or later to avoid arousing suspicion. I won't guard this door anymore. I'm going to take you out now."
Jing Chunxi's tone was a little bad. Why hadn't he noticed before that his father liked to be clingy? How could a dignified deputy general become a woman's burden as soon as he got married?
Jing Yi smiled a little embarrassedly after hearing what Jing Chunxi said. He knew that he was indeed a bit too much, but seeing his wife become weak after pregnancy, he couldn't help but want to take better care of her.
He wasn't angry either, but just said softly, "In two days, I will..." Jing Yi didn't finish his words, as if he regretted it, and immediately changed the subject, "Your mother is pregnant. Such a good news must be told to grandpa and grandmother."
"You only know this now? What were you doing before?" Jing Chunxi retorted unhappily.
Grandpa and grandma must be eager for a grandson right now. They might even get pregnant after seeing these two. Dad is so careless. It's such an important matter, and he only remembered to go back and announce the good news now.
However, she also understood her stepfather's feelings. After all, he had been busy taking care of her mother and might have neglected it for a while.
"Didn't I discuss this with you, Xi'er? Daddy's busy taking care of your mom, so you can go run some time." Jing Yi said, his eyes full of anticipation. He hoped Jing Chunxi could do him a favor and bring the good news to his parents.
Jing Chunxi didn't throw him, but angrily said to him, "No way, what are you thinking? You, as a son, don't even run away, so what's the point of asking me, a daughter of another family, to pass on the message on your behalf?"
Because Jing Yi's true identity could not be made public, even Pu Ge'er, who was willing to change his surname, only kowtowed to the Xu family ancestors, and the name Xu Qingpu was not yet included in the family tree. Jing Chunxi herself did not want to change her surname, so wasn't she the daughter of another surname?
Jing Yi was a little unhappy after hearing what Jing Chunxi said. He poked Jing Chunxi's head and said, "What do you mean by a daughter with a different surname? Or should I call you Xu Chunxi?"
Jing Chunxi snorted reluctantly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"We're all family. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell your mother."
He looked at Jing Chunxi, his eyes full of pleading: "Xi'er, Daddy is begging you, I'll leave this matter to you. Without Daddy here, your mother can't eat."
In order to achieve his goal, Jing Yi even lowered his face to bow to the younger generation and used her mother as an excuse. Jing Chunxi really couldn't bear to watch it.
But seeing his pitiful appearance, she felt a little sorry for him. But she still didn't want to agree easily, so she said, "Okay! I'll take you out early in the morning."
Without her guarding the door at home, her stepmother could only go back to bed. She couldn't leave her room and her father and mother's room empty with no one to prepare meals, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
"Okay! Your mother can eat anything in the space. We'll come in again when you come back."
Hearing this, Jing Chunxi rolled his eyes: You wish! When I come back, don’t even think about entering the space with your mother again.
……
Jing Chunxi was willing to take the initiative to go to Prince Jing's mansion to announce the good news, not only because her adoptive father needed her help, but also because she had other plans for meeting Prince Jing.
With the entrance and exit cards of Prince Jing's Mansion, Jing Chunxi entered the front yard without any notification.
The bluestone path in the front yard was swept spotlessly clean, and the holly trees planted on both sides were still covered with unmelted frost and snow.
"Your Highness, the eldest lady is here." The servant standing in the study in the front yard saw Jing Chunxi being led in by the servant, and immediately passed the message to the study.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen, with a handsome face and a pair of shrewd eyes. He was very tactful and, without waiting for a response from the person inside, he had already made a gesture to invite someone in. The arc of his bow was just right, showing both respect and dignity.
"Xi girl is here, come in quickly, come in quickly!" Prince Jing's resounding voice pierced through the carved wooden door, filled with unconcealed joy. The voice was so deep and powerful that it made the rice paper on the window lattice tremble slightly.
"Sister Xi is here! I was just talking about you. If you don't come, Ling'er will go find you!" Then came Ling'er's clear voice like a silver bell, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps.
She trotted with her skirt lifted up, and her soft-soled shoes embroidered with butterflies made a light sound as they stepped on the bluestone slabs.
It was quite surprising that Princess Jing and Ling'er were both in the front yard. This only meant that Princess Jing's health was getting better.
Jing Chunxi had originally planned to pay his respects to his grandfather before going to see his grandmother, but he didn't expect to see Ling'er here.
Ling'er pulled her in. The little girl's palms were warm and soft, yet surprisingly strong, forcing Jing Chunxi to speed up.
