On the day when Xu Linghe got married, Master Xu and Madam Xu were so excited.

There were only a handful of daughters of wealthy families who were still unmarried at the age of 19 in Shengjing, and this one in their family could be considered an older leftover woman.

She only learned the basics of what a woman should learn, and would go out and wander around whenever she had time. The two of them were very worried about her marriage.

Although they always heard rumors in Shengjing that this daughter of their family had a close relationship with Zhao Yiqing of Wenyuan Pavilion, they just regarded it as a rumor and did not take it to heart.

After Zhao Yiqing won the imperial examination, he was very famous for a while, and no one could understand why he went to Wenyuan Pavilion to become an eighth-rank direct scholar.

Later, he became famous in Shengjing for his handwriting, and in recent years, his words have been sold for thousands of gold.

Master Xu liked to collect some calligraphy and painting books in his life, and even competed with a group of young people for Zhao Yiqing's calligraphy.

When the Zhao family's parents came to propose marriage, Master Xu and his wife realized that they were together when they went treasure hunting and disappeared.

The two who were worried about their daughter's marriage were very excited to see someone propose marriage to Zhao Yiqing. They decided to marry directly and then quickly prepared for the marriage.

Not long after the two got married, Xu Linghe became pregnant.

For Xu Linghe, who always liked to run around, this was simply torture.

She could only stay in the mansion every day. Even when she took a walk, there were a group of people following her, not to mention wielding swords and guns.

Since learning that Xu Linghe was pregnant, Zhao Yiqing, who was always easy to talk to, hid all her swords and weapons. Xu Linghe had a big fight with him for this, and finally took Hongying back to her parents' home.

The Xu and Zhao mansions were not far apart. Xu Linghe ran to her parents' home from time to time. Master Xu and Mrs. Xu were used to it. Their daughter seemed to be married, but it seemed that she was not completely married.

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Linghe who had returned home again and asked, "What happened today? Did you quarrel with Yiqing again?"

"I didn't quarrel with him. He hid all my swords and knives. I was so angry." Xu Linghe complained.

Hongying on the side explained, "But the son-in-law is also for your own good. You are pregnant now, and you are still wielding swords and guns every day. It's not good for the child."

Mrs. Xu heard, "Why are you still dancing when you are pregnant? You are going to be a mother, you can't be willful anymore. Since you are back, you should take good care of yourself in the mansion, so that you don't torment Yiqing every day when you go back."

"...I won't!" Xu Linghe refused.

Mrs. Xu was firm: "No, no, it's decided. I will tell Yiqing so that he doesn't have to worry about you."

Since returning to her parents' home this time, Xu Linghe has really been trapped in the yard and has not gone out.

Zhao Yiqing came to see her every day, brought her some delicious food, and told her about what he encountered during the day. Occasionally, he would rest here.

"Yiqing, can you take me back?" Xu Linghe begged.

Zhao Yiqing saw her pitiful appearance, "Didn't you always like to come back to live?"

"The past was the past, and now is now. How can it be the same?" Xu Linghe said.

Zhao Yiqing thought for a while, "What's the difference?"

"You nerd don't know anything, so annoying!"

Since she came back, she just eats and sleeps every day, and her activities are limited to one yard.

Her parents nag every day, fearing that something will happen to the baby in her belly, and send a bunch of people to watch her. What's the difference between this and being in prison.

Zhao Yiqing comforted: "Then I will go to my father-in-law and mother-in-law to ask them to take you back, but you are not allowed to run around when you go back. You must stay in the mansion. Can you do it?"

"Yes, I promise." Xu Linghe responded quickly, fearing that this person would regret it later.

After returning to Zhao's mansion smoothly, Xu Linghe felt that she was finally free.

"Yiqing, can you take me out for a walk?"

Zhao Yiqing: "Have you forgotten what you promised me before?"

"Of course I remember. If you can't let me go out, you can at least take me to the garden for a walk!" Xu Linghe said.

Zhao Yiqing took her hand, "Then let's go out for a walk together."

In the garden of the mansion, the two walked side by side.

"Let's walk faster." Xu Linghe was not satisfied with the pace of this walk.

Zhao Yiqing did not mean to speed up.

"You are pregnant now, you have to be careful about everything. After the baby is born, you can do whatever you want."

"Really?" Xu Linghe asked back.

Zhao Yiqing nodded, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse."

"Then let's make a deal first. After the baby is born, you have to go to the forge to buy me weapons, and I have to go to the suburbs to ride a horse..." Xu Linghe chattered non-stop.

Zhao Yiqing listened to her patiently, "Okay, why don't you write down all the things you need to buy and do, and I will accompany you after the baby is born."

"Okay, then we'll make it a deal!"

The autumn wind blew, and the leaves on the trees fell to the ground.

In the yard where Xu Linghe and Zhao Yiqing lived, Hongying was with Xu Linghe, and several maids in the yard were sweeping the yellow fallen leaves.

"Miss, do you want to read a book for a while?" Hongying handed Xu Linghe a book.

Xu Linghe waved her hand, "When have you seen me read a book?"

"I heard that reading more books during pregnancy will make the child born smarter, why don't you take a look for the sake of the child." Hongying suggested.

Xu Linghe: "This child will definitely be like Yiqing when he is born. It doesn't matter whether he reads the book or not."

"But what if this child takes after you, young lady?" Hongying was a little worried.

Xu Linghe said angrily: "What's wrong with taking after me? What's wrong with me?"

"It's not bad, but if he takes after you, this mansion may be noisy." Hongying recalled some things in Xu Linghe's childhood. He was a complete devil.

"What's wrong with being noisy? Yiqing only knows how to read books every day. He is very bored. It just so happens that this child is born and I can have a good time."

Zhao Yiqing walked in from outside the yard, "Linghe, what else do you want to play with? I will buy it for you tomorrow?"

"...Sir, I'm afraid I can't buy it." Hongying covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhao Yiqing gently covered Xu Linghe with a blanket, "Why can't I buy it?"

"Well, the young lady said she wanted to play with the child." Only her young lady could say such words. She was really worried about the future young master and young lady.

Zhao Yiqing smiled and said, "Wait for the baby to be born, and we will play with her together."

"Yiqing, if this child looks like me in the future, would you dislike it?" Xu Linghe asked.

Zhao Yiqing sat down on the chair next to her, "How could it be? If she looks like you, it would be great. I want a daughter like you."

"After the child is born, you will be responsible for teaching her to read and write, and I will teach her martial arts. What do you think?"

"That's great!"

PS: This book took nearly three months to write, and it is officially finished here.

I know that my writing is not good, and the content of the whole book is too plain, and there are still many things to learn.

I didn't expect that there would be so many little cuties supporting and encouraging along the way. Thank you very much, love you! I hope to see you in the new book!
