"Wow, they actually have a baby!"
Shang Qingjun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Beside her, Shang Rong's eyes also revealed a hint of joy.
Regardless of anything else, this little life is his grandson!
Suddenly, Shang Rong noticed Ao Yifan's gaze, and the joy on her face vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
"Prime Minister, as you can see, Qingjun is already carrying my child. You can entrust her to me, and I promise to take good care of her."
Ao Yifan said.
Frowning, Shang Rong said, "But Qingjun has been betrothed to Ji Fa, the son of the Marquis of Xibo, since childhood. How am I supposed to explain this to the Marquis of Xibo?"
"Ah, the Marquis of Xibo?"
With a cold laugh, Ao Yifan immediately transmitted his voice.
The next moment, Shang Rong's expression changed drastically. She looked at Ao Yifan with shock and said, "Do you know that if these words of yours were to get out, the court officials would all impeach you?"
"Prime Minister Shang, I have always believed that you are the only one in the court who is truly loyal to the Shang Dynasty, which is why I am telling you this."
Ao Yifan said in a deep voice, "As for whether what I said is true or not, you can verify it for yourself. I'm sure that with your discerning eye, you can easily tell whether what I said is true or false."
Shang Rong gave Ao Yifan a deep look and said, "I will handle this matter myself. As for Qing Jun, well..."
With a long sigh, Shang Rong was also helpless.
What could he say when his own daughter was pregnant with Ao Yifan's child?
This time, Shang Rong returned to Chaoge City. Not only did he have to truthfully report the misunderstanding about the Black Bird to the King, but he also had to do his best to mediate on behalf of Chentang Pass and dispel the King's suspicions about Princess Suzhi.
After all, his own daughter had become family with Princess Suzhi.
As the saying goes, "If one suffers, all suffer; if one prospers, all prosper," Shang Rong did not want the king's knowledge of the princess's affairs to affect her daughter and the child in her womb.
"Alright, you all stay put. I'll handle things in Chaoge City!"
With a wave of her hand, Shang Rong glanced at her daughter and left.
"Father!"
Shang Qing called out "Father" and then leaned into Ao Yifan's arms.
A relieved smile appeared on Shang Rong's face, and then she stepped outside.
At least, his daughter's happiness is enough for him. Besides, he also has a little grandson. That's enough for him in this life!
……
"Oh!"
When Ao Yifan returned to the General's Mansion with Shang Qingjun and her maid, he saw a figure flying backward.
"What's going on here?"
Ao Yifan looked at Deng Chanyu, who had fallen to the ground and was in a sorry state, and then asked Yunhua Fairy, who was sitting in the sun to the side.
Yunhua Fairy glanced at Shang Qingjun beside Ao Yifan, walked to Ao Yifan's side, took his arm, and said, "Husband, Deng Chanyu has always remembered what Sister Suzhi said. Seeing that she was about to leave, she wanted to have a match with Sister Suzhi. Well, she was not as good as her and got a lesson."
"What a beautiful sister!"
Looking at Fairy Yunhua clinging to Ao Yifan's arm, Shang Qingjun couldn't help but think to herself.
"That's it!"
Ao Yifan looked at Madam Yin, who was holding a long sword, and said helplessly, "Madam, didn't I tell you that you are pregnant and it is not advisable to use weapons? Why don't you listen?"

"So that's why you're not skilled enough!"
Ao Yifan looked at the somewhat disheveled Deng Chanyu and shook his head with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Deng Chanyu immediately objected.
What does it mean to be unskilled?
I was just careless for a moment, okay?
Besides, she accepted her defeat to Princess Suzhi.
After all, Princess Suzhi was so skilled in martial arts that she could defeat him even while heavily pregnant; she was truly a heroine among women.
However, you are merely the consort of Princess Suzhi, a gigolo who clings to power and wealth.
Clearly, with Deng Chanyu's limited insight, she couldn't discern Ao Yifan's true worth at all; she simply assumed he was the princess's gigolo.
"Hmph, I was just careless for a moment, let's try again!"
With a cold snort, Deng Chanyu brandished her twin swords, preparing to charge forward again.
Seeing Madam Yin's eager expression, Ao Yifan shook his head speechlessly.
With a flick of her sleeve, a gust of wind swept through, and Deng Chanyu was blown away.
who am I?
where am I?
What just happened?
By the time Deng Chanyu realized what was happening, she was already standing on the street outside the General's Mansion.
"Just now, it was that pretty boy... no, how could he be so powerful?"
Deng Chanyu's eyes flickered. She hadn't expected that the princess's husband was not a pretty boy, but a very powerful person!
"Madam, you should just teach the children at home now, and stop fighting with people so easily."
Ao Yifan looked at Madam Yin speechlessly and said.
"Alright, I got it. I was just itching to try it myself. Don't worry, that little girl's methods can't hurt me."
Madam Yin handed the longsword to Xiaoqing, who was standing to the side, and then took the handkerchief from Xiaobai's hand, saying, "By the way, is there any problem with the Merchant Alliance? Can that senior disciple from the outer sect of the Jie Sect really manage the Merchant Alliance well?"
Ao Yifan had already discussed the matter of the Merchant Alliance with her beforehand, so she naturally knew about Ao Yifan's decision to hand over the leadership of the Merchant Alliance to Zhao Gongming.
"Hehe, there's definitely no problem. Don't let his status as a cultivator fool you; he's a business genius!"
Ao Yifan said.
He was not lying about this.
After all, without this talent, Zhao Gongming would never have become the great wealth god of the central route who controls the world's wealth!
"However, I will also suggest to Fellow Daoist Zhao that Qingjun be given a position as an elder of the Merchant Alliance, to lead the eastern branch of the Merchant Alliance. I believe that with Qingjun's abilities, he is capable of helping us secure sufficient benefits!"
Ao Yifan added.
"Can I really do this?"
To be honest, Shang Qingjun was somewhat tempted.
The business alliance is bound to rise rapidly, and one can imagine the status one would have if one could become an elder who controls a part of it.
It's important to understand that while women weren't as restricted in that era as they are today, men still held the real power.
For example, Shang Qingjun himself was unable to enter the court because of his father, and thus chose to go into business.
Now, Ao Yifan is actually handing over such an important position as the elder of the Merchant Alliance to him, which makes Shang Qingjun feel somewhat moved.
This is recognition of her!
"of course can!"
Ao Yifan said with a smile, "Go ahead and do it without worry. No matter what happens, remember, I and the princess are here for you."
"Yes, Qingjun, I'll be entrusting all business matters to you from now on!"
Lady Yin echoed this sentiment.
To be honest, she's not very good at that; she prefers leading troops into battle.
Now that she has a younger sister who can share the burden of business matters, Madam Yin is happy to see this happen.
……
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for successfully helping the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden conceive an offspring. Reward: 100,000 years of cultivation, advanced version of the magic weapon Heavenly Book of Military Strategy, and the Sacred Scroll of Military Path!"
Finally, after countless days and nights, Ao Yifan succeeded!
At that moment, Ao Yifan almost shed tears of emotion.
With 100,000 years of cultivation flowing into his body, Ao Yifan instantly felt his energy and spirit begin to rapidly increase.
The next moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who had been in a daze, suddenly changed her expression and showed a look of shock on her face.
"Three flowers gather together!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not understand why Ao Yifan would break through at this moment.
However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden soon discovered that Ao Yifan's three flowers on his head were not completely solidified and were still in a state between reality and illusion.
"Strange, the Three Flowers at the Top should, in theory, be a single, uninterrupted surge to the peak of essence, energy, and spirit. How come it's like it's being condensed? What realm is he at?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has certainly broadened her horizons.
Noticing the gaze of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Ao Yifan naturally understood what she was thinking.
However, he knows his own situation best.
His cultivation level was basically achieved through forced irrigation during childbirth.
Now, with 100,000 years of cultivation, he has laid the foundation for condensing the Three Flowers at the Top of His Head.
However, a mere 100,000 years of cultivation was not enough, which is why the three flowers condensed but failed to solidify completely.
Of course, Ao Yifan didn't need to explain these things to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
Immediately, his attention turned to the newly acquired magical artifact.
