After so many interactions, Qian He knew Lin Suisui’s habits now. If Lin Suisui’s husband wasn’t present, she definitely wouldn’t follow him.
However, when he thought of the commotion coming from the tent when he came over…
Qian He thought for a moment and added, “Madam Liu, I’m afraid that woman won’t be able to last long. Can you follow me over there first?!”
If she went there too late, it would be pointless!
“Don’t worry. When your husband comes back, I’ll definitely arrange for him to rush over immediately,” Qian He said thoughtfully. This was the best solution he could think of.
However, Lin Suisui didn’t compromise on this point. She glanced at Aunt Luo, who was standing beside her, and thought for a moment before saying, “My husband went to wash some things. He’ll be back soon.”
“Besides, I still have to make some preparations. Why don’t you go back first? My husband and I will be there in a while.”
Lin Suisui’s suggestion made Qian He hesitate for a moment, but he also knew that this Madam Liu had always been extremely stubborn. If she had her mind set on something, even Mr. Pei couldn’t change her mind, let alone a servant like him!
Besides, when he saw that Mr. Pei didn’t seem very anxious when he instructed him to invite her over, he only weighed the pros and cons briefly before bowing to Lin Suisui with a smile. “Sure, I’ll go back and reply to Mr. Pei first.”
Without much hesitation, he turned around and hurriedly lifted the curtain again to leave.
After Qian He left, Aunt Luo walked over with a worried expression and said to Lin Suisui, “Liu Niang, giving birth isn’t a small matter!
“Besides, from what I heard from the young master who handed the letter just now, the pregnant woman is a very favored concubine. She’s pregnant with the General’s child. What if something bad happens and you get implicated?!”
As Aunt Luo spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and muttered unhappily, “I really can’t understand how the higher-ups handle things.
“Ordinary people like us know that no matter how reckless a woman is, she has to be careful when she’s about to give birth. But this General dotes on this woman and child so much, so why would he bring her out to suffer in such an environment?!”
“They’ve already requested our help. If we don’t go, we’ll offend them.” Lin Suisui smiled. She understood Aunt Luo’s worries, but Aunt Luo still didn’t know the truth, so she couldn’t explain it. She could only comfort her. “It’s fine. Didn’t they say that he’s a general? He must be a reasonable person!”
Lin Suisui didn’t wait long before Lu Ze returned.
Seeing Lu Ze, Lin Suisui told Lu Ze about how Qian He had just come to look for her, “I’m not completely confident in this kind of thing. What do you think Mr. Pei wants this time?!”
Aunt Luo didn’t know, but Lin Suisui and Lu Ze knew how Gao Xuwei became the general who stabilizes the north.
The Gao family, which was originally just a poor family, could have its current wealth and glory because Gao Xuwei had married Pei Qian’s widowed aunt. That was why with Pei Qian’s support, they had their current status!
However, this man, who had relied on a woman to gain a foothold, actually doted on another woman and her child in front of the Pei family’s heir …
What would Pei Qian think?!
“Let’s go over and take a look first. If you have any doubts, just ask Pei Qian later.” Lu Ze didn’t care much about this. In his opinion, Pei Qian probably wouldn’t care about the stupid and ignorant Gao Xuwei.
He had actually heard some things about the Pei family.
With Pei Qian’s temper, not to mention if Gao Xuwei doted on his another woman and cared about her child, even if he poisoned his aunt to death, Pei Qian probably wouldn’t bat an eye.
Lin Suisui naturally didn’t know what Lu Ze was thinking, but when she heard Lu Ze say that it wasn’t a big problem, she didn’t delay any longer. She put on her cloak and rushed towards Pei Qian and the others.
Before she approached the tent, Lin Suisui heard the angry roar of a man from the other side of the tent and a woman who was moaning in pain.
Compared to the man who was walking around the tent like a crazy brown bear, Pei Qian, who was sitting on a round chair beside the brazier and drinking tea with his eyes lowered, looked much calmer.
“It’s said that women can’t be rushed into giving birth. Didn’t she say that it had just started? What’s the hurry?!”
Pei Qian slowly drank a cup of tea. When he heard Gao Xuwei yelling about why the doctor wasn’t here yet, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and persuade him.
“Nephew, of course this is an urgent matter!
You know the situation of our family! We had a small number of people to begin with, and I’m the only heir! There’s no descendant yet! You also know your aunt’s health. Sigh, we can’t count on her anymore!
It wasn’t easy for me to get a girl pregnant. If anything happens now, how will I answer to the Gao family’s ancestors in the future?!”
Gao Xuwei was so anxious that he didn’t see the disdain in Pei Qian’s eyes.
The Gao family’s ancestors? Ha!
What a joke!
Previously, before Gao Xuwei married his aunt, the Gao family was very poor. When he worked in the casino, he barely earned enough to survive. Why didn’t he think of carrying on the family line back then?!
His aunt was blind to have fallen for such a stupid and heartless person!
At this moment, Gao Xuwei really couldn’t care less about Pei Qian’s attitude. He was really anxious!
Previously, when the Gao family was impoverished, he naturally couldn’t care less about these matters. He didn’t even have enough to eat, so how could he have money to feed two mouths?!
But now, he had become the general who stabilizes the north. He was no longer the poor man from before! Why couldn’t he leave a descendant?!
However, with the age of the hag at home, he knew that she was no longer suitable for childbirth when they got married! However, that woman was a very jealous person. After so many years, it wasn’t that no one had gotten pregnant, but in the end, none of them could keep their child!
Now that he was almost 50 years old and had finally gotten another woman pregnant, how could he not be careful?!
