Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 459
Only Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were left in the room. Mrs. Huan took Lu Lingqi back to the room to talk. Zhen Mi was lying in Yuan Xi's arms with a smile in the corner of her eyes, "Your Majesty, don't you want to see Mrs. Wu?"

Yuan Xi put his hand on Zhen Mi's lower abdomen, as if he could feel the heartbeat of the little life inside, and said, "Stay with Madam for a while."

He said awkwardly: "Mr. Yuanhua kept his promise with his wife, and didn't tell me about his wife's pregnancy until the matter of Huaicheng was settled. It's really sincere."

Zhen Mi smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Yuan Hua did a great job."

"The concubine is afraid that if the husband cares about it, it will cause chaos, and it will delay the big event."

Yuan Xi thought it was true, if he found out that Zhen Mi was pregnant, he would always want to finish the job as soon as possible and rush back, fearing that it would affect the decision-making in Huaicheng to some extent, if he made a mistake in his haste, he would be in big trouble.

He put his arm around Zhen Mi's shoulders, "It's been half a year since I left. I didn't expect it to go so fast. I did a lot of things during this time, but the sense of accomplishment after I finished it was not as great as the surprise my wife gave me when she was pregnant."

"Even my father... Ben Chugong was also very happy to hear that his wife is pregnant."

Now there are three sons in the Yuan family, Yuan Tan has a daughter who is not yet married, and Yuan Shang has no heirs, the issue of their heirs also troubles Yuan Shao quite a bit.

Now that Zhen Mi is pregnant, Yuan Shao couldn't hide his surprise when he found out, but in this way, the future situation of the Yuan family may not be unchangeable.

Strange to say, although children from aristocratic families have relatively good living conditions, a large part of them depends on luck to give birth to boys and raise them to adulthood. Many children from aristocratic families have many concubines, but they just have no male heirs. The issue of heirs has long plagued the major families.

Not to mention that disasters and wars are frequent in today's world, epidemics are rampant, and accidents occur frequently in a peaceful world, not to mention that life is difficult in troubled times, and it is common for nobles to die, let alone future generations.

This is also the reason why widows who gave birth to male children are extremely popular and can easily remarry. After all, for a large family, the inheritance of incense is the most important thing.

Zhen Mi smiled, "It's not sure whether it's a man or a woman."

"And it's not just a concubine, there's also Madam Wu."

Yuan Xi rubbed his nose in embarrassment and was speechless. He still dare not let outsiders know about Mrs. Wu's identity. It may not be a good thing for him and Mrs. Wu to spread it out too early.

Seeing this, Zhen Mi gave Yuan Xi a push, and said with a light smile, "Go and see your Mrs. Wu, don't let people think that the concubine is making trouble."

Yuan Xi got up hesitantly, went out of the house, went to Mrs. Wu's door and knocked.

After a while, the door slowly opened, Yuan Xi looked up and saw that there was no one in front of him, almost thought it was haunted, but when he looked down, he burst out laughing.

Sun Shangxiang, with two braids standing upright, was struggling to open the door, looking up at herself timidly, her two big black eyes flickering extremely agilely, looking at him like this, I am afraid she is still ignorant and did not recognize Yuan Xilai.

Yuan Xi laughed, lifted Sun Shangxiang up high, and turned around twice in place. Sun Shangxiang felt this familiar movement, and then recognized Yuan Xi, stretched out his arms, and giggled.

Yuan Xi put Sun Shangxiang on his shoulders and stepped into the room, but saw Mrs. Wu sitting on the couch with a blanket on her knees, turned around with a little difficulty, and said to Yuan Xi: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience of getting up. "

Yuan Xi put Sun Shangxiang down, sat on the couch, and naturally took Madam Wu's hand and said, "I heard that Madam is ill, have you ever seen a doctor?"

Madam Wu blushed, but this time she didn't withdraw her hand like before, she just let Yuan Xi hold her hand, and said softly: "I've seen it, it's a bit cold, young master, you should go back, so as not to spread the word If you are sick, give it to the young master."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "I've been fighting on the battlefield and marching in heavy rain these days, so I'm not so fragile. Ma'am, don't worry."

Mrs. Wu also heard that Yuan Xi had done many great things that shook the world in the past six months, so she said in a low voice: "Master, you have worked hard, just come back."

Yuan Xi saw that Mrs. Wu's face was somewhat depressed, and comforted her: "It's the lady who has worked hard."

"Madam is worried all day long, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone you want to talk to?"

"And madam should miss her hometown from time to time, right?"

Madam Wu's eyes turned red and she nodded slightly.

Yuan Xi felt uncomfortable, and sighed: "Madam, don't worry, I have made peace with Bo Fu, this secret is only known to a few people in the mansion, and it will definitely not ruin Madam Qingyu."

"After a year has passed, I'll see if I can find an opportunity to secretly send my wife back."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu showed some joy, but she found that somehow, she still seemed to have a sense of loss in her heart?

She suddenly became aware that this kind of warmth seemed to be something she had never experienced in the past 20 years, as if the teenage age gap between herself and the man in front of her had been erased.

She even had a sinful idea, the difference is only twelve or thirteen years old, shouldn't be too much, right?
The two of them felt the warmth in their palms at that time, and sat silently, letting time pass by little by little.

Sun Shangxiang chewed her fingers, looked at the two curiously, looked at Yuan Xi for a while, and Mrs. Wu for a while, her eyes were full of curiosity.

Mrs. Wu was suddenly startled by the existence of Sun Shangxiang, the light bulb, and hurriedly withdrew her fingers and turned her head away.

Seeing Yuan Xi, he couldn't help laughing, pulled Sun Shangxiang into his arms, and made fun of her.

Mrs. Wu listened to Yuan Xi telling Sun Shangxiang what she had seen and heard in Montenegro. In his words, it was a completely different scene from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Unlike rivers everywhere, there are towering peaks and lush forests, from dark green stacks to dark black, like the mouth of a beast, devouring people who enter rashly.

In the mountains and forests, there are not only human-eating tigers, leopards, and wolves, but also annoying mosquitoes and poisonous ants. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.

Yuan Xi led the army, led by the local guides of Heishan, and chased and killed the general of Heishan. Before the valley between the mountains.

On the other side of the valley, there is an endless plain, where there are grasslands, rivers, and wild horses running, and the world is suddenly vast.

Both Sun Shangxiang and Mrs. Wu were fascinated by it, and Sun Shangxiang said in a childish voice, "Can I go and see it in the future?"

Yuan Xi laughed, put his arms around Sun Shangxiang and said, "As long as you think about it, you can do it."

Sun Shangxiang bit her finger, "But if my mother gives me a younger sibling, I'm afraid she won't have Xiangxiang."

Yuan Xi and Mrs. Wu looked at each other awkwardly, and said, "No way, my mother loves you so much."

Only then did Ah Xiang nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'm going out to play, you two can whisper!"

After she finished speaking, she twisted her body, bounced a few steps, and went out the door, closing the door behind her.

Mrs. Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This child is getting more and more naughty."

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was only four or five years old, but his figure was nimble and nimble, Yuan Xi was not only amazed, but said, "This kid has the potential to practice martial arts."

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "What kind of martial arts do girls practice, but this child is quite talented in Wu Qin Xi, and Mr. Yuan Hua even praised him."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "That's all. People want to succeed, talent, hard work and opportunity are indispensable, but this child is uniquely blessed. Who knows what will happen in the future."

"Moreover, there are women who stand out from the crowd. Miss Wenhou, and Yang Feng, Captain of Black Mountain, are all outstanding among them. There are only a handful of men in the world who can defeat them."

When he talked about Yang Feng, his heart moved, and he said to Mrs. Wu: "What does Madam think of Mrs. Sun?"

Mrs. Wu didn't react for a while, she sighed: "How can I look at it, I am a member of the Sun family, and now I have lost my integrity, and now I am just trying to survive."

Yuan Xi saw that Mrs. Wu had a lot of knots in her heart, how about the next dose of strong medicine?
He said: "I heard that Madam got married back then, but was she forced to do so?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu gave Yuan Xi a blank look, "Don't bring up the past, you can't be much better."

Yuan Xi sweated profusely and said, "I really didn't mean it!"

Mrs. Wu said: "What if you were awake then?"

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's not what it is now."

Madam Wu lowered her head, rubbing the blanket with her hands, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she heard Yuan Xi say: "But I think this is the best result."

"Madam is still young, it's not too late."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu had a smile on her face that she didn't notice, "I'm already a half-mature lady, so you don't need to comfort me with your conscience."

Yuan Xi thought to himself, I'm telling the truth, there are a lot of unmarried women in later generations.

He smiled and said: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts, Madam will understand my heart sooner or later."

"Actually, what I just asked was about how far Madam Sun can go under the leadership of Bo Fu?"

"Ma'am, what do you think Mrs. Sun will go to the end?"

"The lord of a county, the princes of one side, the title of king and duke, or?"

Madam Wu was startled, and quickly put her finger to her mouth, "Shut up!"

"Can this be said?"

"The Sun family doesn't want to have the disaster of exterminating the family!"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Madam, do you think what I think must be what Bo Fu thinks?"

Madam Wu was at a loss for words, she turned to Yuan Xi and said, "What about you?"

After Yuan Xi heard this, he turned his head away and stretched out his hand to open the window beside him.

The bird outside the window was frightened, fluttered off the branch, turned slightly, then flew into the sky, turned into a small dot, and then disappeared.

Yuan Xi looked at the sky and said: "There are scenery on the ground, there are scenery on the branches, and there are scenery on the sky."

"I want to see the scenery from the heights."

Mrs. Wu was silent for a while, then said softly: "Flying too high, what you are facing is not only the warm spring sun, but also the violent wind and rain."

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "That's right, the higher you fly, the more things you do, and the greater the risk."

"But there are still countless birds flying into the sky every day, trying to compete with the sky."

Mrs. Wu sighed softly, "This concubine knew early on that your son has lofty aspirations."

"But this road is not easy to walk."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "So I am also hesitating. If I fall, many people will be implicated."

"However, if I climb to a high place, so high that no one dares to criticize me, then Madam will never be able to escape my palm."

Mrs. Wu's pretty face flushed slightly, and she snorted softly, "Young master is so shameless."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's fine for Madam to go back, maybe one day, when I come to welcome Madam again, no one in the world will dare to criticize us anymore."

Madam Wu's heart trembled, but she turned her body slowly, Yuan Xi understood, and gently hugged Madam Wu into her arms.

Mrs. Wu felt relaxed, whether it was a lie, a dream, or a delusion that would never come to fruition, at least the arms around her now were warm.
