Hearing this, Xiao Wenkui said, "Go ahead."
"I plan to ask Caiyun to go to Nanjing and live with Lord Mount Tai for a period of time after Caiyun gives birth. I always feel that it's inappropriate for Caiyun to stay in the capital. The situation in the capital is not good. Father is about to retire and should enjoy his old age. At this time, you shouldn't worry about your son's affairs. Moreover, after I leave, it's very likely that I will hold a post in the south and won't return to the capital. Therefore, after thinking about it, I still feel that it's better to send Caiyun to Nanjing. With Lord Mount Tai watching over her, it may be safer."
Xiao Wenkui thought about it and also nodded.
"That's good. With your Third Brother and Lord Mount Tai in Nanjing, it will be safer and can protect Caiyun and her son. Your Lord Mount Tai will also arrive in the capital in a few days. It should be no problem for father to talk to him."
After this matter was settled, Xiao Wenkui stood up and said, "Then let's go and see Caiyun! Let Ji Xin and Caiyun stay a little longer and talk more. These days, Caiyun is the most difficult one. When your mother was pregnant, I could still accompany her, but Ji Xin couldn't. Women have some other thoughts. Ji Xin, let's go! "
The father and son went to Yang Caiyun's fetal care room. When they approached the fetal care room, bursts of women's laughter came from the room. Xiao Wenkui said with a smile, "It seems that they get along well with each other. Ji Xin, this time I asked your three sisters-in-law to come together so that they can get more pregnant with Caiyun's pregnancy. In other families, it's the eldest who gives birth first, but in our Xiao family, it's the other way around.
Xiao Rulan smiled bitterly and felt that there was nothing to say.
Walking to the door, Xiao Wenkui knocked on the door.
The door opened very quickly, and the one who opened the door was an elegant woman. Xiao Ruxun did not recognize her, nor did she have any memories of her, so she just kept her mouth shut. However, this elegant woman swept a glance at Xiao Ruxun who was following behind Xiao Wenkui, and covered her mouth with her hand as she exclaimed: "Fourth Sister! Look who's here! Fourth Sister! "
When Yang Caiyun heard such a call, she had already expected it. When Xiao Ruxun stepped into the room and saw her husband, whom she had been thinking about day and night, appear in front of her, Yang Caiyun was stunned. Then, tears fell down like pearls from a broken necklace. Xiao Ruxun looked at Yang Caiyun, who was half leaning on the bed with her big belly. He was also stunned for a moment and couldn't take a step forward.
Xiao Wenkui quietly beckoned the three brothers and the three women to leave the room. Without saying a word, he quietly left the space for the husband and wife who had not seen each other for a long time.
It had been eight months since they parted in August last year. This made Xiao Ruxun almost unable to recognize Yang Caiyun's current appearance. When they parted, Yang Caiyun was only pregnant for a little more than a month. Her belly hadn't bulged yet and she was still a slender and beautiful woman. But now, her belly was big and it was extremely incongruous with her slender figure. Her complexion wasn't good and could even be said to be a little pale. However, her face was still round, showing that she didn't lack nutrition and ate on time. She didn't mistreat the child in her belly.
However, her mental state was really not good. The tears that kept falling down made Xiao Ruxun's heart ache. He knew that he was a derelict husband.
"Xun … Xun Lang …"
A soft call woke Xiao Ruxun up. Xiao Ruxun looked at Yang Caiyun, who seemed to want to get out of bed and walk over. She quickly stepped forward and pressed down on Yang Caiyun's shoulders.
"Don't, Caiyun, don't get off the bed. Sit on the bed. You need to rest and build up your energy. You can't get tired."
Xiao Ruxun sat on the edge of the bed, but before he could even sit down, Yang Caiyun tightly grabbed Xiao Ruxun's arm.
"Xun Lang? Is it really you? Am I not dreaming? Xun Lang? "
"It's me, Caiyun. I'm back. I arrived in the capital today. After the triumphant ceremony, I came back home. I spoke with Father and the others for a while, and then I came to see you. Caiyun, have you been well these past few days?"
Xiao Ruxun placed his other hand on Yang Caiyun's.
"Mm, I'm very well, very well. The child in my belly is also doing well. Look, he's already grown up."
Xiao Ruxun gazed at Yang Caiyun's bulging belly and gently caressed it. As he sensed the rhythm of his flesh and blood, Xiao Ruxun couldn't help but shed tears.
"This is … our child?"
"Mm, Xun Lang, this is our child. He'll be born very soon. You'll be able to see the child very soon."
Yang Caiyun's smile was very beautiful, even a little proud. However, she quickly said with a hint of worry, "But I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. If it's a girl …"
Xiao Ruxun tightly gripped Yang Caiyun's hand.
He recalled those long-winded stories that Xiao Wenkui had told him last year when he came to the capital.
"There's nothing bad about being a girl. Our Xiao Family has too many males. In my generation, I have four brothers and no sisters. Father raised us four mischievous monkeys since we were young. Who knows how much effort it took, especially after Mother passed away.
At that time, Father almost gave up on his official career and personally supervised us four brothers. He had a teacher teach us how to read and write, and he supervised us from the side. When we grew up, he even arranged for us to marry good wives, especially you. One can imagine how much effort Father put into this. "
As she said this, a gentle smile appeared on Yang Caiyun's face.
"So, for a general like me who is busy with military affairs and fights on the battlefield, if there were really only sons in the family, how would I be able to manage them? As the saying goes, it's the father's fault to raise and not teach. Father did his best to raise us four sons, and all four of us are talented. How would I be able to teach my own sons? So, although having a son to inherit the family business and my title is necessary to continue the family, I want a daughter from the bottom of my heart.
If our daughter is born, she will definitely be as gentle and considerate as you. She will know how to love her father and won't be as noisy and naughty as our sons. We won't have to spend so much effort to raise her into a talent, and we won't have to take her to the battlefield to fight. As a mother, you won't have to worry. Don't you think so? "
Yang Caiyun leaned on Xiao Ruxun's shoulder and softly said, "But I still hope to give Xun Lang a son. Xun Lang is already a marquis and has a title. He needs a son to inherit the title. The Xiao clan also needs to continue the family line. Xun Lang's son can't run away."
