Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After her husband was born, this maid had personally taken care of him for several years.
Unfortunately, after the Song family landed in trouble, the servants of the Song family’s residence were ail sold.
Granny Hu was lucky. She was redeemed by someone and later got married.
Unfortunately, because she was not able to get pregnant for several years, she was bullied by her husband’s family and sold again.
After that, she worked for the family that bought her until Song Que found her.
“Master is kind and redeemed me. He even gave me a place to live and promised to let me enjoy my old age in the future.
“I have no other thoughts now.
“I only hope that Master and Mistress can live in harmony as husband and wife.
“In the future, when Mistress gives birth to a child, if you don’t despise me, 1 can help you take care of him.” At this point, Granny Hu’s face lit up with anticipation.
Her biggest regret in life was not being able to have a child.
If Master and Madam had a child in the future, she would definitely take good care of him.
Qin Xiaoyao blushed furiously.
She could not help looking down at her tummy.
When she was in Mountain Spring Town, her mother-in-law had taken her to see Doctor Li.
At that time, Doctor Li said that her pulse was strong and it was easy for her to get pregnant.
In the end, she and her husband did not use any birth control for months, but she did not get pregnant.
She didn’t know if it was not the right time or…
Forget it. Her husband was in a dangerous predicament now. It might not be a good thing to get pregnant at this juncture.
It was better to let nature take its course.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Granny Hu,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
She thought to herself that when the overall situation had stabilized, they had to bring Granny Hu back with them.
When her mother-in-law saw Granny Hu, she would definitely be happy.
“It’s only right. It’s good that Mistress doesn’t despise this old servant,” Granny Hu said hurriedly.
Before she met Mistress, she was really worried.
The Master did not mind her old age and was willing to take her in on account of their past relationship.
However, it was hard to say on Mistress’s side.
Now that she met Mistress and realized that Mistress was of good character and treated her well, she felt more at ease.
“Hehe! What are you talking about? We’re so happy that you are willing to help us take care of our children,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile. In an instant, she closed the distance between her and Granny Hu again.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and it didn’t take long for them to make a table full of sumptuous home-cooked dishes.
When the last dish was served, there was finally a knock on the door.
Qin Xiaoyao’s hearing was extraordinary, and she was the first to notice the noise.
“I’ll open the door.” After saying that, she ran into the courtyard.
Granny Hu smiled in amusement.
Instead of going out, she took over Qin Xiaoyao’s role and continued to work in the kitchen.
Qin Xiaoyao quickly rushed to the front of the courtyard.
She opened the door and saw that it was indeed Song Que.
When Song Que saw that Qin Xiaoyao had already changed into women’s clothing and was wearing the clothes he had chosen previously, a glint flashed across his eyes.
“Come in quickly.” Qin Xiaoyao smiled and reached out to pull Song Que.
Song Que smiled and went in obligingly.
Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly closed the door after he entered.
He became even more amused.
“Why are you smiling foolishly?
“Granny Hu and I have already prepared the meal. Hurry up and help in the kitchen!” Qin Xiaoyao retorted in annoyance.
“Okay,” Song Que replied with a smile.
Suddenly, he leaned close and grabbed Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t shake his hand off and allowed Song Que to pull her towards the kitchen.
Then, Granny Hu saw the two of them chatting and laughing as they entered the kitchen holding hands.
When she saw this scene, Granny Hu’s face radiated with joy.
She was happy to see that Master and Mistress were so loving.
“Let’s do it together. We can eat now,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
“Sure!” Granny Hu answered with a smile.
Thereafter, the three of them got busy.
The food was then brought to the hall.
Granny Hu was initially unwilling to eat with the couple, but Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que both insisted that she stay. In the end, she could only give in.
During the meal, Qin Xiaoyao fussed over Granny Hu like a younger offspring caring for her elders. She would pick food for Granny Hu from time to time.
As she ate the fragrant and steaming hot food, enjoying the rare show of affection, Granny Hu began weeping at one point.
After the meal, Granny Hu steadfastly refused to allow Qin Xiaoyao to wash the dishes with her.
She drove Qin Xiaoyao away to Song Que’s room.
As she knew that Granny Hu wanted her to spend more time with Song Que,
Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t bashful and quickly left.
Eventually, she knocked on the door of their room.
The door was opened.
Then, Song Que pulled Qin Xiaoyao into the room with a strength that she never knew he possessed.
Following that, it was a passionate kiss as their world turned topsy-turvy.
Qin Xiaoyao was only caught off guard for a moment before she quickly turned the tables joyously and took the lead.
The magpies outside the window began chirping and singing about the beauty of spring…
An hour later.
Qin Xiaoyao finally rested her head on Song Que’s arm in contentment.
She turned her head to look at the handsome side profile of the man beside her and smiled sweetly.
“Hubby…” she called out in a sweet voice.
The corners of Song Que’s mouth curled up.
“Hmm?” he replied languidly.
“Granny Hu said that she wants to take care of our children in the future,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a blushing face.
Song Que turned his head to look at the woman beside him and lowered his head to give her a peck on the forehead.
“Mother also wants to take care of our kid. Then let’s have two children in the future,” he said with a smile.
“Huh? Granny Hu will definitely live with us in the future. She and Mother can bring up the child together.”
Two? She had only planned for one for the time being.
However, her husband had such good genes, and hers seemed to be quite good too. Wasn’t it a waste if they had only one child?
It seemed that it was not impossible to have two children…
“Mm-hmm… Let’s have a son first. What do you think? Afterward, we can have a daughter. This way, our daughter will have an older brother to dote on her.” The woman couldn’t resist imagining a beautiful life in the future.
Song Que smiled in amusement.
“Mm-hmm. Let’s do it this way,” he replied.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Song Que. “How can we decide whether to have a son or daughter just like that?”
“Then what should we do?” Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao dotingly.
“How would I know?” Qin Xiaoyao pouted.
“You think of a way.” Then, she looked at Song Que sternly.
Song Que was taken aback.
Then, he whispered into Qin Xiaoyao’s ear, “Ahem… Then let’s try it out with one first. If it doesn’t work, we can continue. We will eventually end up with an older brother.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s ears burned with embarrassment.
Her fist smashed toward Song Que.
“Who wants to keep having children with you?” she retorted petulantly.
“If you don’t want to have children with your husband, then who do you want to have them with?” Song Que pretended to be annoyed.
“Hmph! I’m not going to argue with you!”
The young couple bickered as if they had returned to the carefree days in Mountain Spring Town.
After a while, the two of them, who had been lying in bed for a long time, finally got up.
After tidying up, Qin Xiaoyao put on her clothes and went to the outer room.
It was only at this point that Qin Xiaoyao asked Song Que about what had happened to him during this period of time as well as his current situation.
Song Que only gave a brief description, similar to what he had told Qin Xiaoyao at the Ministry of Rites in the morning.
“Does Minister Shen really intend to have you marry into his family?”
Suddenly, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Song Que with some bitterness..
