The third concubine liked to be the best in everything and had a good family background. Now she was treated like this by Jiujiu. She even wanted to swallow Jiujiu alive.
Jiujiu naturally knew what Yi Xiao meant. She leaned on Yi Xiao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't you support me?"
Yi Xiao took the opportunity to take Jiujiu into his arms. Looking at Jiujiu's delicate and satisfied appearance, Yi Xiao felt inexplicably sweet in his heart.
At night, Yi Xiao naturally slept with Jiujiu. Because Jiujiu was pregnant, they could only cover the quilt and chat.
Jiujiu leaned against Yi Xiao and whispered about what had happened to her in the fishing village, while Yi Xiao whispered about his war.
Listening to Yi Xiao talking about what had happened to him in a low voice and tone, Jiujiu sometimes exclaimed, sometimes was nervous, and sometimes shed tears because of Yi Xiao's injury.
The reason why Yi Xiao talked about his war was that Jiujiu wanted to hear it, but he didn't expect that Jiujiu would cry.
Through the moonlight, Yi Xiao saw Jiujiu's tender face covered with tears. Her eyes, which used to be bright, were now full of tears, and her cheeks were stained with tears.
He raised his hand and stroked Jiujiu's cheek to wipe away the tears on Jiujiu's face. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you crying? I'm fine, aren't I?"
Jiujiu reached out and hugged Yi Xiao's waist tightly. She choked and said, "But you were in so much pain."
Jiujiu looked up at Yi Xiao and said, "It hurts so much when I cut my hand. You were shot so many times. How painful must it be?"
Yi Xiao didn't expect that Jiujiu was crying because of this.
His father used to be a general. When he was a teenager, he sent him to study abroad. When he came back, he took over his father's troops.
Yi Xiao was not a general who was afraid of death and only knew how to talk. He didn't take other people's lives seriously, nor did he take his own life seriously. Every time he rushed to the front, he took the lead and almost couldn't come back several times. But because of this, his subordinates were particularly convinced and loyal to him.
Like him, they were a group of desperadoes who didn't take their own lives seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn't have recovered such a large territory in such a short time.
However, whether it was him, his soldiers, or even his first wife and concubines, they all felt that it was normal for him to do this. They would also be worried if he was injured and would also comfort him. However, their worries were different from Jiujiu's worries and sadness.
The soldiers were worried about who would lead the troops after his death and what they would do in the future. His wife and concubines were worried that if he died, they wouldn't be able to enjoy such a life as they did now. Therefore, they were most worried about their future life and status.
But no one had ever thought that he was also a normal person. He would also be sad and in pain.
No matter how strong he looked on the outside, his heart was soft, and he also had a weakness.
It was a pity that there was no one. Therefore, as time passed, Yi Xiao also learned to hide all his worries, forcing himself to have no weaknesses and making himself cold-blooded and ruthless. But those disguises disappeared in Jiujiu's tears and the words "how much pain you should be in."
Yi Xiao only felt that his heart, which was as cold as steel, instantly softened in front of Jiujiu.
She was just a little girl. They hadn't known each other for long. She had said that she only wanted glory and wealth. But now, she would cry bitterly because of his pain and care about how much pain he should be in.
This was unprecedented, but it felt good.
Yi Xiao raised his hand and stroked Jiujiu's delicate cheek. He lowered his head and kissed Jiujiu gently on the lips.
It had nothing to do with lust. He just wanted to kiss her.
At the same time, Jiujiu could feel that the layers of ice on Yi Xiao's body had melted. He looked at her with gentle eyes. This kind of gentleness was unprecedented.
The gentleness in the past was separated by a layer of gauze. It looked gentle, but it was like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror. But at this moment, the gentleness was like the moonlight, warming people's hearts.
Jiujiu knew that Yi Xiao put her in his heart. Even if it had nothing to do with lust, if she had a conflict with the First Madam and others, Yi Xiao would definitely stand on her side.
Moreover, she was now pregnant with Yi Xiao's child.
Jiujiu instantly smiled.
She hugged Yi Xiao's neck, raised her head, and gently kissed Yi Xiao's lips. She whispered: "Marshal, in fact, I lied to you when I said that I wanted glory and wealth."
Jiujiu gently leaned her head on Yi Xiao's chest: "In fact, I have liked you for a long time, so when those people wanted to take me away, I would go with them. If it were others, I wouldn't go."
"For a long time?"
"Well, in the past, our fishing village was often harassed by bad people. It was you who drove those people away, so we could live a rich life. From then on, I liked you, Marshal."
"Yes."
Yi Xiao didn't remember what Jiujiu said, but he felt very warm.
Jiujiu talked with Yi Xiao for a while, but after all, she was pregnant. After a while, she became sleepy. Just now, she was talking to Yi Xiao, but the next moment, she opened her small mouth and yawned.
After a while, he didn't hear Jiujiu speak. Yi Xiao turned his head slightly and saw Jiujiu sleeping soundly with her small mouth slightly open. Yi Xiao's eyes couldn't help but soften.
With a smile, he held Jiujiu's shoulder and let Jiujiu lie down. He tucked in Jiujiu and pulled Jiujiu into his arms. Only then did Yi Xiao close his eyes.
When Jiujiu woke up the next day, Yi Xiao had already left, but his breath was still in the room.
As Jiujiu sat up, the maidservant who had been standing by the bed immediately came forward with a smile on her face. She said excitedly, "Madam, before Marshal left, he asked me to wait for you to wake up to tell you that he has something to do today and won't come over tonight. Marshal asked me to tell you that you must eat on time and go to bed early."
Although it was just a few simple words, it was already very rare for Yi Xiao.
The maidservant had a smile on her face, and she was very proud in her heart.
The third concubine was doted on, but Yi Xiao could go there three times a month at most. Moreover, Yi Xiao never spent the night with her, let alone leave a message.
Although Jiujiu was now pregnant with Yi Xiao's child, how could the maidservant, who had always lived at the bottom of the mansion, not see that Yi Xiao cared about Jiujiu.
She didn't follow the wrong master. The maidservant, who had originally wanted to use her connections to transfer her out of the district, had completely lost the intention to leave.
Now Jiujiu had Yi Xiao's mind. When she gave birth to Yi Xiao's child in October, she would be rich and powerful.
Hearing the maidservant repeat Yi Xiao's words in a low voice, Jiujiu nodded to show that she understood and motioned for the maidservant to help her get up.
