A white lotus attracts swallows

Chapter 48

Coming out of the palace, Yan Lu deliberately picked out a more comfortable carriage, and asked people to add a lot of cushions so that Cheng Hua would not feel too uncomfortable.And Cheng Hua may have become a little sentimental because of the little life in his stomach, and he was still thinking about it halfway through the journey.

"Husband."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Cheng Hua didn't answer, leaned against Yan Lu, put his arms around his waist, and closed his eyes.

Yan Lu cooperatively hugged him into his arms to bring him closer to her, holding him with one hand and stroking his long hair with the other.

It was silent at this time, but it was worth a thousand words.

Back at Yan's mansion, just as he got off the carriage, Yan Lu was dragged away by the two elders of the Yan family.

After the two of them went to the palace, Old General Yan thought about it carefully, and felt that his daughter-in-law was very human.His family is already an imperial merchant, which shows that he has strong financial resources, and he himself has a good relationship with the imperial family, plus his reputation in the capital before he got married, he is really a dragon and a phoenix among people.Now that she is pregnant with their Yan family's child, she is even more precious.He wants to put down the big and small affairs of the family slowly, and concentrate on recuperating his body, but Yan Liu is indeed a little powerless and needs help.So he called his wife, the two discussed it, and quickly decided to talk to Yan Lu, so that he could focus on home.

Mrs. Yan loved Cheng Hua very much and treated him like her own son.Hearing what Old General Yan said, she felt even happier. She wished she could let Yan Lu and the others come back now, tie Yan Lu firmly to Cheng Hua's side, and never leave.

With such a decision, the two elders couldn't wait for a moment, and sat in the front hall eagerly waiting.As soon as Yan Lu and the others came back, they immediately told Yan Lu to come over and plan to tell him about it.But before he could speak, Old General Yan smelled the alcohol on his body, and instantly became angry: "Yan Lu, your wife is pregnant, and you actually drank?!"

Mother Yan was taken aback for a moment, and leaned over to smell it, and then patted him angrily: "You bastard!"

Yan Lu received a good beating for nothing, and said aggrievedly: "Father, mother, we went to the palace, the wine bestowed by the emperor, can you refuse?"

The old man was angry for a long time, and after hearing what he said, he remembered where the two had gone, and Mother Yan became worried again: "Then Huaer..."

"Hua'er didn't drink, I drank it for him. The emperor knew he was pregnant, so he didn't make things difficult for him. By the way, parents, what do you want me to come here for?"

"That's right." Mother Yan stepped forward and pulled him, let him sit between the two of them, glanced at Old General Yan, got his approval and said, "I discussed it with your father, and I want you to stay as long as possible in the future." At home, needless to say, those messy places outside are definitely not allowed to go there again, and you rarely see any friends. Huaer is pregnant with a child now, and her mood is unstable. You have time to spend more time with her at home. Accompany him, help with something, don't just idle around all day long. They are all going to be fathers, and they should show some self-consciousness about being a father."

Yan Lu was taken aback, and then smiled brightly: "I thought you were going to say something. Don't worry, I will stay with him more without you saying anything. Hua'er has paid too much for me, and now it's time for me to pay for him." It's time."

The family of three looked at each other tacitly and laughed.The eyes of the two elders of the Yan family were full of relief, feeling that their son, who had failed to live up to expectations, had finally grown up and had a responsibility.All this is thanks to Cheng Hua, and I will go to temples more in the future to pray for the two of them.

Just when the atmosphere was warm, Yan Li ran over in a hurry, his legs softened and he knelt down in front of the three of them: "Master, madam, master...!!!"

"Slow down, don't worry. What happened to make you panic?" Old General Yan frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Yan Li's recklessness, breaking their hard-won sweet scene.

"Master, it's not good...Young Madam...something happened!"

The two elders looked at each other, but before they could react from the shock of these words, Yan Lu stood up with a whoosh and ran out quickly.

Cheng Hua was still a little dizzy and nauseated when he got off the carriage.Although the carriage had been padded with a few more layers, it still swayed a lot, and now he still felt a little swayed.As soon as Yan Lu got off the car, he was called by the elders to talk about the matter. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go back to his room to rest for a while, and then went to the kitchen to look at the ingredients and prepare dinner for the three of them.Just as she was thinking, Si'er quickly stepped forward to stop him and said in a low voice, "Young Madam..."

Cheng Hua was thinking about the recipe when he was suddenly interrupted. Looking up, he vaguely remembered that this was Qing Ji's little maid.

"what happened?"

"Second... Second Young Madam has something to say to Young Madam... Please Young Madam please move to the back garden."

back yard?What is so secretive?Although doubtful, Cheng Hua still told the little servant beside him, and followed.What are you afraid of? I am a man anyway, and my physical strength and physique are superior, so I am afraid that she will not succeed as a woman.

When they reached the back garden, Qing Ji was sitting in the Jingxin Pavilion, ecstatically watching the koi swimming lazily by the pond.Si'er stood far behind and did not follow, Cheng Hua was even more puzzled.Could it be a fraud?But with Qing Ji's dirty tricks, even if he is inconvenient, nothing will happen to him.Thinking of this, he walked slowly.

Hearing the sound, Qing Ji turned her head and saw Cheng Hua coming alone. She was a little relieved, walked out by herself, glanced at him, and then moved her eyes to his lower abdomen: "I heard that you have a child from Yan Lu ?”

Cheng Hua maintained a relaxed posture, his heart tensed all the time, and he smiled and said, "Sister Qing Ji asked me to come here on purpose, just to ask this?"

"That's great." Qing Ji also laughed, but her expression was in a trance: "I always wanted to give birth to offspring for him, but it's a pity that I didn't live up to it."

Cheng Hua looked at her and frowned slightly.

So far, there is no value in beating around the bush.She simply asked straight to the point: "I know you definitely don't like me, because I have always hated you. Do you want me to leave Yan Mansion?"

"Leaving Yan Mansion?" Cheng Hua was a little surprised, surprised that she was so self-aware, but in the principle of harmony and friendship, she asked, "You are doing well in Yan Mansion, why did you leave Yan Mansion?"

Qing Ji smiled mockingly: "Don't be hypocritical. I know what you're thinking. I saw a lot of intrigue when I was in Lantian Yunuan. Since you dare not say it, then I will say it straight."

"1000 taels. You give me 1000 taels, and I promise that I will leave Yan Mansion obediently and not cause you any trouble."

Cheng Hua was really surprised this time.I thought Qing Ji was going to threaten him with something, but I didn't expect her to ask for money, and it was a lion who asked.Cheng Hua, who has dealt with abacus since he was a child, couldn't help revealing the aura of some businessmen, and he didn't immediately reject it. He pondered: "1000 taels? This is not a small amount."

Seeing Cheng Hua's frown, Qing Ji puffed her chest out, showing no signs of losing momentum: "At the beginning, Yan Lu spent 700 taels to redeem me. In the past year, I have been by his side wholeheartedly. Not too much at all!"

Hearing the figures, Cheng Hua scolded Yan Lu for being a prodigal son, thinking that he must not be allowed to do some bad things with spare money in the future, while calmly thinking about Qing Ji's words.It is absolutely impossible to really give 1000 taels, but it would be a good way to kill two birds with one stone without bloodshed if she can take the initiative to leave Yan Mansion, so she bargained to: "Qing Ji, let's settle this account like this. Compare you to a hairpin Put it in the spring building as the treasure of the town store. Not to mention how you were damaged when you were "trialed" before, Yan Lu bought you for 700 taels in the end. He doesn't like you very much. Over the past year Carrying you in his arms day and night. Now he doesn't like you, and wants to exchange you for money. Tell me, can a hairpin that has been transferred out by human hands appreciate in value or depreciate?"

Qing Ji was taken aback, and then her face turned pale: "You... how can you compare people to dead things! It's just nonsense!!"

"I'm the son of a merchant, so it's inevitable that I'm a bit of a philistine. This analogy is not accurate, but I hope you can think about it. Whether you are a person or a hairpin, if you enter a house and want to go out from this house, you must be wrong." Glorious."

Having said that, Qing Ji still didn't want to give up, and said with some broken jars: "Well, if you don't want to give me money, I will not leave Yan's mansion, and hang around in front of you every day, obstructing your eyes, you Even if you have a child, you will not live in peace!"

Cheng Hua seemed to hear some joke, and looked at her like a clown.Now Qing Ji, in his eyes, is just like those desperate gamblers, betting all of her as a bargaining chip, and being cornered by others, she desperately bets her only bargaining chip on a single number.Losing is everything, and if you lose your chips, you will be taken away from the gaming table, and you will spend the rest of your life in regret and remorse.He looked at her with pity in his smile: "Qingji, if you can still make me feel unsafe, you won't be in a hurry to get money and leave here. Am I right?"

Qing Ji lost her only bargaining chip, and the money was about to come. Suddenly, she felt that there was no hope, and her dignity and arrogance could not be cared about. She stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve: "I know you are in charge of the money... I, I don't want 1000 taels anymore, you give me 700 taels, and I will leave obediently and never come back again!"

"I don't want to stay here anymore!! Ever since Yan Lu chased you back, I've been like a rat crossing the street, living without dignity in this world! How can I, Qing Ji, be ridiculed by those little bastards?! Those girls, who are not as beautiful as me, have no talent, no wealth and power, dare to laugh at me!!"

Cheng Hua looked at her and still couldn't help sighing.She was forced into misery, depressed every day, living under her own delusions.Rather than letting her die in depression like a canary in the Yan Mansion, it is better to let her go free, after all, she is still a girl under 20 years old, and the future is still long.Think of it as accumulating virtue for the child in your stomach.

"I see. It's just that I have to talk to Yan Lvshang..." Before he finished speaking, Cheng Hua suddenly reacted, his head became dizzy, his legs couldn't stand up suddenly, and he took a small step back suddenly.It just so happened that there was a small stone hidden behind Cheng Hua's feet, he stepped back very slowly, tripped over the stone hastily, lost his center of gravity instantly and fell back.Qing Ji tugged on his sleeve but couldn't hold it steady, she was pulled forward by him, but Cheng Hua sat down on the ground.
