Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li traveled slowly, not only because they were concerned about the child in Ye Li's belly, but also because they wanted to see the people of Xi Ling under the control of the Mohist army. Originally, it would only take a dozen or so days to travel at top speed. When the group returned to Xi Ling, it was already November. In November, not only Xi Ling, but the entire northern region was very cold. The northwest's Li City had already had two rounds of winter. Xu Hongyu had governed well and the officials of the northwest were also doing their best. Even though the outside world was still in chaos, the people of the northwest were still living very peacefully.
When the group returned to Li City, they did not notify anyone in advance to receive them. When the people of the Prince Ding Mansion received the news, the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of the Prince Ding Mansion. Dismissing the guards who were startled by the sudden return of the Prince, Mo Xiuyao helped Ye Li into the mansion. The other matters were naturally left to Feng Zhiyao, Qing Feng, Zhuo Jing, and the others to handle.
"Mother!" From far away, Mo Xiaobao's voice passed through the somewhat desolate garden and came from the inner courtyard. Ye Li had just stood still when she saw Mo Xiaobao wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with silver dragon patterns, quickly rushing over. It had only been a few months, but Mo Xiaobao seemed to have grown a lot taller.
Mo Xiaobao was about to rush in front of Ye Li and give his dear mother a warm hug. Mo Xiuyao at the side easily raised his hand and hooked onto his collar. Unable to move forward, Mo Xiaobao unwillingly twisted his body, but he could not break free from his father's hand. He could only pout his small mouth and look at Ye Li, "Mother … …"
Ye Li smiled. Mo Xiuyao brought Mo Xiaobao in front of him and looked down at him, "Your mother is pregnant."
Mo Xiaobao was stunned for a moment. He blinked his round black eyes, and it took him a while to realize what 'pregnant' meant. For a moment, he looked at Ye Li's somewhat conspicuous abdomen and stuttered, "Mother … Xiao Bao … Xiao Bao is going to have a younger brother or sister?" Ye Li nodded, stroked her son's little head and asked, "Yes, does Xiaobao like a younger brother or a younger sister?"
Xiaobao furrowed his brows in confusion. After a while, he nodded seriously and said, "I like both." Of course, he liked the younger sister more, but if it was a younger brother, it would be good too. Then, he could teach him well. His younger brother must be much smarter than Dummy Leng. At that time, they would be able to deal with Imperial Father and snatch Mother back. Mmm! Didn't Big Uncle say that if the brothers were of one heart, their sharpness could cut through metal? It would be even better if his little brother didn't fight with him for his mother. Of course, as an elder brother, he was still very magnanimous. He would share a little of his mother with his younger brother.
Ye Li looked at Mo Xiaobao with amusement. His expression was constantly changing, sometimes nodding and sometimes laughing in a strange manner. She didn't know what he was thinking, but he just stood there in a daze. Mo Xiuyao looked at his son's unconcealed smirk, and his lips hooked up into a faint sneer. He didn't need to guess to know what this kid was thinking. Raising his hand, he gently flicked Mo Xiaobao's forehead. Mo Xiaobao cried out and held his forehead with tears in his eyes, staring at Mo Xiuyao accusingly. Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and looked at him indifferently: So what if I flicked you?
Wuwu … Mother, Imperial Father bullied Xiaobao.
Being bullied by others, Mo Xiaobao was very sad.
"Alright, mother, does it hurt?" Looking at her son's pitiful appearance, Ye Li helplessly glared at Mo Xiuyao. Leaning over, she rubbed the invisible pain on Mo Xiaobao's forehead and said: "Xiaobao, be good, don't cry." In fact, Mo Xiuyao didn't use much strength, and Mo Xiaobao didn't feel much pain. What hurt more was his self-esteem. That kind of frustration of being obviously weaker than the opponent and being bullied without any power to fight back, once again deeply hit Mo Xiaobao's self-esteem.
"Big Brother Yu Chen …" Leng Xiao Dai with short legs finally caught up with them. Seeing Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao who he hadn't seen for a long time, he froze for a moment. He shyly smiled at Ye Li. "Aunt Wang Fei …" The little child ran behind Mo Xiaobao and grabbed the corner of Mo Xiaobao's clothes, not letting go. Children's senses were always very sharp. In Glass City, whether it was Leng Junhan who wasn't even four years old or Xu Zhirui who was almost five years old, they were all very afraid of Mo Xiuyao.
Mo Xiaobao saw that in front of his little brother, he couldn't pretend to be pitiful and ruin his image. He could only put away his crying expression and resentfully glared at Mo Xiuyao.
Ye Li helplessly held Mo Xiaobao's hand and Leng Junhan's hand and walked towards the hall. Just as they arrived outside the hall, Xu Hongyu, Xu Hongyan, Xu Qingze and the others who had rushed over after receiving the news had already rushed out of the study. The two uncles looked at Ye Li. Seeing that she didn't lose weight and her complexion was very good, they let out a sigh of relief and relaxed their expressions. Ye Li said with a faint smile: "First uncle, second uncle, Li 'er is back."
Xu Hongyu nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's good that you're back."
After entering the hall and taking a seat, Xu Hongyu asked: "Did anything happen on the way? Li 'er is now … "Although the news of Ye Li's pregnancy was hidden from the outside world, the Xu family had already received the news in advance. Ever since Ye Li gave birth to Mo Xiaobao, there had been no movement from Ye Li. Although Shen Yang and Doctor Lin said that everything was normal and let nature take its course, and Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao didn't have any obsession with children, in the eyes of outsiders, the Prince Ding Mansion only had one child was a little weak. Now Ye Li was pregnant again. Although there was something wrong after the incident, it was still good news.
Ye Li nodded and said: "Li 'er is all right. I've made uncle worry." Then she talked about some things in West-Hill and Xu Qingbai's injury so that everyone could rest assured. Xu Hongyu saw that Ye Li's face was a little tired. When he was about to ask her to go back and rest first and talk about the old days another day, he heard someone outside saluting: "Greetings, Old Master." It turned out that Mr. Qingyun knew that Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao were back and also hurried over.
Everyone hurriedly stood up to welcome him. Xu Qingze went forward to help Mr. Qingyun in. Ye Li went forward and bowed: "Grandfather, Li 'er is back." Mr. Qingyun reached out to support her and smiled lovingly: "You're already pregnant, how can you be so careless? Those rules and etiquette should be avoided if possible. Is our family still paying attention to those empty formalities? "
Knowing that it was grandfather's love, Ye Li also stood up and smiled: "Grandfather is too careful. Li 'er is not so delicate." Mr. Qingyun looked at her complexion and nodded: "Well … It seems that you're not bad, but you should take good care of yourself. Last time you had Yuchen, it was very thrilling. This time, it's good that you're safe. "Ye Li and Xu Qingze each helped Mr. Qingyun to sit down at the head of the table. Mr. Qingyun was not only highly respected, but also very senior. Generally, it was not a very formal occasion. For example, in private in the mansion, Mo Xiuyao also sat at the head of the table as the grandson-in-law.
"Li 'er was just thinking about greeting grandfather later. Why did grandfather come in person?" Sitting down, Ye Li asked with a smile.
