Yi Xiao, who was originally agitated because of this matter, unknowingly became relaxed. He raised his hand and brushed it across Jiujiu's cheek. It was smooth to the touch and had a faint body temperature, making people unable to help but feel exceptionally comfortable.
Because Jiujiu was still pregnant, Yi Xiao carried Jiujiu into the room with extra care. Only then did he press down on her shoulder and let her sit down. He said in a low voice, "Why did you come out?"
Jiujiu wrinkled the tip of her small nose and said with a smile, "I smelled the scent on Marshal's body, so I came out to wait. Marshal..."
The last voice was very low, with a slight nasal and childish voice. It sounded like a kitten meowing in the ears. It was extremely adorable, and it also made people's hearts soften.
Yi Xiao lowered his head.
Jiujiu's delicate and slightly tender cheeks blushed. Her grain-white teeth pressed against her lips, and her long eyelashes fluttered lightly. She said in a very low voice, "I missed you."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, the blush on her cheeks became even more intense. Her eyelashes fluttered nonstop, making her look shy and helpless.
Yi Xiao's cold face melted like ice and snow, revealing a gentle expression. He murmured in a low voice, "En."
Chun Hua, who had been kept by Jiujiu's side to serve during this period of time, walked in with Jiujiu's supper. When she saw Yi Xiao carrying Jiujiu with a gentle expression and talking to Jiujiu in a low voice, she was so shocked that her eyes widened.
In the past, she was not able to serve by his side. She had always thought that Jiujiu was no different from the other concubines in front of Yi Xiao. She was humble and fawning over him. However, looking at the current situation, Yi Xiao seemed to care more about Jiujiu.
After putting down Jiujiu's supper, Chun Hua stood at the side and served like Nightingale.
However, the more she looked, the more astonished she was.
Originally, she thought that Yi Xiao cared about Jiujiu because of the child in Jiujiu's belly. However, looking at the current situation, Yi Xiao had clearly fallen in love with Jiujiu. How was he caring about her? He clearly placed her in his heart.
However, the more Yi Xiao valued Jiujiu, the better he treated Jiujiu, the happier she would be.
At night, of course, Yi Xiao rested in Jiujiu's room. During this period of time, Yi Xiao wanted to take back the remaining territories in one fell swoop. Moreover, there were many people sent to assassinate him. Yi of this period of time, he had been very busy....... and................ Yi.... of...... of....................................
Just like before, Yi Xiao reminded Nightingale to look after Jiujiu and not let Jiujiu eat carelessly. He also reminded her to eat her breakfast on time. Only then did Yi Xiao leave.
Chun Hua, who had been specially dragged by Nightingale to keep watch at night, was surprised to see that Yi Xiao, who was as cold and emotionless as a machine in front of outsiders, was actually so gentle. However, after the surprise, her heart began to plan.
Soon, it was Jiujiu and Yi Xiao's big day.
For this reason, Yi Xiao specially came back a day earlier.
Because of Yi Xiao's importance, and in order to maintain her own face, the First Madam had prepared everything exceptionally well. Even Jiujiu's parents wore expensive clothes and sat at the head of the table.
Because Jiujiu was pregnant, she didn't wear any makeup. However, even without any makeup, she was still so beautiful that it shocked everyone.
Most women would become older and uglier after being pregnant. However, Jiujiu was different. Even though she was already pregnant for more than two months, she didn't have any discomfort from being pregnant. Instead, because of her pregnancy, she became more charming and looked even more beautiful.
Yi Xiao marrying a second wife was a big event. Naturally, there were many people who came, but their status wasn't low either. Jiujiu's parents had been small fishermen all their lives. Now that Jiujiu was married to Yi Xiao as a second wife, it was reasonable to say that they should be happy. However, when they wore brand new clothes and looked at the dignitaries coming and going in front of them, they didn't feel happy at all. Instead, they felt even more uneasy.
Looking at the behavior of Jiujiu's parents, the First Madam couldn't help but smile a little.
So what if she was a second wife? Looking at her parents' behavior, she wouldn't be any better.
Because of Jiujiu's pregnancy, Yi Xiao only asked Jiujiu to come out politely before letting her in. He stayed outside to entertain the guests.
However, who was Yi Xiao? He had the gun in his hand. If nothing went wrong, he would definitely be able to unify China.
There were so many guests, and most of them wanted to curry favor with Yi Xiao. None of them actually dared to force Yi Xiao to drink. Therefore, almost as soon as Jiujiu stepped into the room, Yi Xiao walked in.
Seeing Yi Xiao, who had a hint of alcohol on him and looked tipsy, Jiujiu was stunned. She asked in surprise, "General, why are you here?"
She thought that Yi Xiao would definitely be forced to drink. She didn't expect him to come in so quickly.
Seeing Jiujiu's mouth slightly open in surprise, Yi Xiao's cold face softened a little. He said in a deep voice, "I came in to see you."
Jiujiu stood up and held Yi Xiao's hand. She said with a smile, "I'm fine. It's just that drinking too much is harmful to the body. General, don't drink too much."
"Okay, I know. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare food for you. You're pregnant. If you're hungry, eat first. If you're sleepy, go to sleep. Don't wait for me, okay?"
"Don't worry, General. No one can suffer, but not the child."
Jiujiu raised her hand and touched her slightly bulging belly. She said with a smile, "General, you're so good to me."
"You're my wife. Naturally, I have to be good to you."
In fact, Yi Xiao felt that Jiujiu should be the legal wife. It was just that he had been married to his wife for many years. Moreover, his wife's family had helped him a lot. Although his wife's family had declined, Yi Xiao was not an ungrateful person. He looked cold, but he knew better than anyone that he should repay kindness. Therefore, even if he had no love for his wife and his wife had not given birth to a child for more than three years, he had never divorced her and remarried.
Although it was said later that it was his problem, now Jiujiu was pregnant. If Yi Xiao was really ungrateful, he could find an excuse to divorce his wife and make Jiujiu the legal wife.
But he didn't.
Because of the guilt in his heart, Yi Xiao already felt that Jiujiu was his wife.
After the two of them got married, Yi Xiao became even busier.
As the month got older and she was pregnant with two children, Jiujiu's belly became even more bloated. She was tired from walking two steps, let alone other things.
The third concubine wanted to do something to Jiujiu, but Yi Xiao protected Jiujiu so much that she couldn't even enter Jiujiu, let alone do something to her.
The first concubine, on the other hand, wanted to do something to Jiujiu on the day she gave birth.
It would be even better if she left the mother and kept the child. Jiujiu was gone, so the child would naturally be raised under her name. Although she didn't give birth to the child, she still had a lot of affection for him since he was young.
It was the same for Chun Hua.
She originally wanted to use the relationship between Jiujiu and Yi Xiao as a breakthrough, but who knew that Yi Xiao really liked Jiujiu? She couldn't use this excuse. Seeing that Jiujiu valued the child in her stomach so much, she started to use the excuse of taking care of the fetus.
