Chapter 16 There is a Reborn Person in the Mansion 15
Subsequent events proved that He's father was indeed farsighted and made the right bet. Within a few years, Qin Shuye was promoted to the youngest fourth-rank general in history.

After their marriage, the couple had a harmonious and respectful relationship. Although their love was not as passionate as a grand, dramatic vow, their relationship was peaceful, gentle, and enduring.

Over the years, Qin Shuye has only had one concubine, and he and that concubine have no children.

This concubine was a cautious, humble, and polite person. She was almost invisible in Qin Shumeng's memory. Even the second young lady, Jiaojiao, treated this concubine well.

But everything changed quietly after Yan Qing arrived.

An unprecedented crisis erupted between her and Qin Shuye.

Misunderstandings, arguments, and the silent treatment.
Born into a scholarly family, He Mo was raised to be a well-mannered and knowledgeable young lady. Her parents had a good relationship, so she didn't really understand the intricacies of family life.

Just when they were feeling lost and helpless, Miss Qin Er suddenly had an accident at the Yue residence.

So He Mo wrote a letter to his father, asking for his help.

Yan Qing also rarely appeared for some reason.

Qin Shuye came to Moxuanfang for the first time since the cold war to express his gratitude.

After that, he came over often, and their relationship gradually improved. In fact, the previous friction even warmed their feelings for each other.

Things should have been going well, but an unexpected turn of events occurred: Yan Qing became pregnant.

According to the doctor's diagnosis, Yan Qing is more than two months pregnant.

That was during the time when He Mo and Qin Shuye were having a cold war.

Every woman in the world longs for a lifelong, monogamous relationship. But in the Kingdom of Yuanchang, only women who join the army have husbands who do not take concubines.

He Mo doesn't know martial arts, nor does she have any talent for it. In this life, she is destined to share Qin Shuye with other women.

Thinking of this, He Mo couldn't help but feel sad and melancholy.

In her secluded chamber, loneliness reigns, her tender heart overflowing with sorrow. She laments the passing of spring, as a few drops of rain hasten its departure, leaving only the withering of blossoms.

I sit by the railing, but feel no joy. Where is he? The withered grass stretches to the horizon, and I gaze until the road home seems lost.

Looking at the unchanging scenery outside the window, He Mo felt a lump in his throat and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"Mother!"

Suddenly, a clear, childlike voice rang out, interrupting He Mo's sorrowful mood.

He Mo quickly turned around and saw a soft, round little dumpling running towards her.

"Ze'er!" He Mo squatted down and hugged the little dumpling tightly.

"Mother, Mother, Aunt is here!"

He Mo held his son Qin Yuanze in his arms as if he were holding the whole world.

Yes, she still has Ze'er, her precious darling. Even if other women might take away Qin Shuye's love, Ze'er is hers alone!
Thinking of this, He Mo felt much better about his broken heart.

When Yu Muhuai entered He Mo's room, he saw this heartwarming scene of mother and son embracing each other.

But He Mo's eyes were a little red, as if he had just been crying?
They must have already heard the news that Yan Qing is pregnant.

Yu Muhuai sighed softly, stepped forward, and teased Qin Yuanze in He Mo's arms. Then she gestured that she had something she wanted to talk to He Mo about alone.

He Mo was puzzled, but still ordered his servants to take Qin Yuanze away.

Soon, only He Mo and Yu Muhuai remained in the room. He Mo asked, "Xiao Meng, what brings you here to see your sister-in-law?"

Yu Muhuai went straight to the point, "Sister-in-law, have you heard about Aunt Yan's pregnancy?"

He Mo was taken aback, somewhat confused about the purpose of Yu Muhuai's question.

"Yes, I just heard a servant report it." He Mo lowered his eyes, answering seemingly calmly, but he still couldn't hide the loneliness in his heart.

"Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, I think there's something fishy about Aunt Yan's pregnancy."

Hearing Yu Muhuai's words, He Mo showed a puzzled expression.

Yu Muhuai continued, "Sister-in-law, if you trust me, it's best not to leave this courtyard recently, and even Ze'er should stay home."

He Mo, after all, came from a wealthy family, and after thinking about it, he understood what Yu Muhuai meant.

"Xiao Meng, you...you mean, Aunt Yan might..."

Yu Muhuai nodded. "Sister-in-law, don't you think everything that happened before was too coincidental?"
"Since Aunt Yan came to the Qin residence, how many conflicts and misunderstandings have you and my brother had? And none of them could be explained clearly. It's obvious someone is trying to frame you!"

"What? What's going on?"

Realizing he had inadvertently used a word from another world, Yu Muhuai pursed his lips and gave an awkward smile.

"It's nothing, sister-in-law. In short, it was all planned by that woman Yan Qing. She did it on purpose, deliberately and intentionally, with the aim of ruining the relationship between you and my brother."

Qin Shumeng had said similar things before, but back then it was in front of Qin Shuye, where she pointed at Yan Qing's nose and cursed him, speaking vulgar language like a street ruffian, and the curses were quite offensive.

Qin Shuye, of course, disliked his younger sister's arrogant attitude and didn't listen to what she said, only shouting at her. Then he chased Qin Shumeng away and left with the tearful and pitiful Yan Qing.

Yu Muhuai strongly disapproved of Qin Shumeng's reckless approach.

Although it was done with good intentions, there are always methods to conduct oneself in life. Some things, said by a different person or in a different way, can have a completely different effect on the listener.

Otherwise, how could there be books like "The Art of Thick-Skinnedness and Black-Heartedness" and "Psychology"?

That's too far.
"Sister-in-law, everyone in the manor knows that Consort Yan is pregnant, so everyone has to be more considerate of her now. If she wants to come over to your place, or invite you to have tea or watch a play, you can't very well refuse."

So, in my opinion, sister-in-law, you should simply pretend to be sick and stay carefully in the courtyard for the time being, making sure you don't have any contact with Aunt Yan.

He Mo frowned and lowered her head; she already understood what Yu Muhuai meant.

Yan Qing might use her pregnancy to do more things that could damage their relationship. She might even use the child in her womb to her advantage.

"But...but that's her child! Would she do such a thing?"

As a mother, He Mo knows clearly that a child is a mother's lifeblood and her most precious treasure.

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips, and although he had no evidence, he still voiced his guess.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know that woman is definitely pregnant?"

"What?" He Mo was so shocked that he covered his mouth with his hand and gasped.

Not at all surprised by the other party's performance, Yu Muhuai continued.

“Sister-in-law, you can’t be malicious, but you can’t be without caution. Your relationship with my brother has just started to improve, and then Aunt Yan announced that she’s pregnant. We should always be on guard.”

After the initial surprise, He Mo calmed down and pondered Yu Muhuai's words.
