At this time, Ji Mingzhao was sitting in the room with his hands folded on his legs, looking a little restrained.

General Gu looked at him and smiled, "You're pregnant, that's a good thing, don't be nervous."

Ji Mingzhao nodded slightly, but the heavy stone in his heart still did not fall to the ground.

General Gu called him over, but did not directly tell him what the matter was. Instead, he asked him some things, such as what happened when he was at the Ji family.

Ji Mingzhao answered all of them one by one, but when he mentioned the past, sadness appeared on his face.

He came from a humble background and his biological father was just a servant. When he was in the Ji family, he was often tortured by his mother's husbands. They would make him do all kinds of odd jobs and beat him.

They said he was despicable and his father was shameless.

Ji Mingzhao really wanted to refute, but it was not true, his father was not that kind of person.

But later, because his father tore the househusband's clothes while washing clothes, he was beaten to death.

He still remembers that scene and still has nightmares when he thinks about it.

He was afraid that he would become like his father, not only unable to protect himself but even losing his child.

Gu Qingyuan came back in a hurry and pushed the door open suddenly.

When Ji Mingzhao heard the voice, his body trembled, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget.

Gu Qingyuan stood at the door, facing the light. The light shone through, and he could even see some tiny particles in the air. There was sweat on her head, but her eyes were on him.

General Gu naturally heard the noise as well. Seeing Gu Qingyuan coming back, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Didn't you go to the academy? Why are you back?"

Gu Qingyuan strode towards Ji Mingzhao, stood beside him, and then answered General Gu's question.

After seeing Gu Qingyuan, Ji Mingzhao suddenly felt much more relieved. His wife was back, so he should be fine too, right?

Gu Qingyuan said, "Mother, I received a message from the servants saying that you should bring Ah Zhao here and come back quickly."

She stood in front of Ji Mingzhao with the attitude of a guardian.

General Gu looked at the servant who had called Gu Qingyuan over, then looked at her and Ji Mingzhao, and asked her, "Do you think I'm going to harm your concubine?"

Gu Qingyuan didn't say anything, but he agreed directly.

She took Ji Mingzhao's hand and dragged him up forcibly. Ji Mingzhao staggered when he was pulled up. Gu Qingyuan supported his waist to prevent him from falling.

General Gu closed his eyes and opened them again, suppressing his anger and saying, "I'm not so despicable as to attack a pregnant man."

"Then why did mother ask someone to bring him here?"

"Of course, I care about my future grandchildren."

General Gu said with great regret, "Qingyuan, Qingyuan, I didn't expect you to miss your mother this much. Your concubine is pregnant, which is of course a good thing. If the Gu family can become more prosperous in the future, I will naturally be happy to see it."

Ji Mingzhao gently hooked her hand and said, "Wife, please don't quarrel with my mother because of me."

Gu Qingyuan shook his hand back, and the two of them stood in front of General Gu together.

"Mom, I was wrong." Gu Qingyuan took the initiative to bow his head and apologize.

She also heard the news and panicked for a moment, so she hurried back, thinking that her mother was going to harm Ji Mingzhao.

General Gu snorted coldly and waved his hand to let the two people leave.

Before leaving, she called Gu Qingyuan and said, "There's a Ganoderma lucidum in the storeroom at home. You can take it to nourish him."

Gu Qingyuan immediately smiled happily and turned around and said, "Thank you, mother!"

Gu Qingyuan took Ji Mingzhao back to the bamboo garden, and then went to get some Ganoderma lucidum.

The Ganoderma lucidum was very big, and Gu Qingyuan felt it was heavy. She took it to Zhuyuan and handed it to the servants there, asking them to make soup for Ji Mingzhao.

Ji Mingzhao suddenly hugged Gu Qingyuan tightly and put his chin on his shoulder.

"My dear wife, I was really scared just now. I thought our child was going to be killed."

Gu Qingyuan could feel his body still trembling slightly, so she hugged him back and comforted him, "It's okay now, and my mother just said that she doesn't want to attack you and the child, she just wants to show her concern for you and the child."

Ji Mingzhao smiled embarrassedly, "Then my wife, when you see my mother again, can you please apologize to her for me? I misunderstood her good intentions."

"no problem."

While holding him, Gu Qingyuan touched his belly through his clothes and sighed, "Is there really a little life in here?"

Ji Mingzhao laughed and said, "Of course, the doctor has confirmed it after all."

"That's great. You've worked hard lately."

"It's not hard, not hard at all." Ji Mingzhao said quickly.

Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan looked outside at the sun and pulled him into the house.

"It's too sunny, let's go back to the house and talk."

After the servants boiled the Ganoderma lucidum, they added some other herbs that could nourish the body.

After boiling a whole pot of soup, Ji Mingzhao drank only a little over a bowl before rubbing his stomach and saying he couldn't drink any more.

Gu Qingyuan saw that there was still some in the bowl, so he picked it up and drank it without hesitation.

Seeing her drinking what he had left, Ji Mingzhao became anxious. "Wife, that was what I left. You..."

After she finished drinking it, she asked Ji Mingzhao: "So what? Is there poison in it?"

He explained, "No... no, I meant that if my wife wants to drink more, she can get more and doesn't have to drink what I left."

"I don't dislike you."

Gu Qingyuan's words successfully excited Ji Mingzhao's heart.

What did he hear?

The wife said she didn't dislike him.

The last bit of worry that remained disappeared without a trace after hearing her words.

He took out his clean handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Gu Qingyuan's mouth.

After wiping it, Gu Qingyuan grabbed her wrist.

Gu Qingyuan looked at his beautiful lips and couldn't help but kiss him.

Ji Mingzhao still had a handkerchief in his hand. After she covered his lips with it, he could feel the taste of the Ganoderma lucidum soup he had just drunk spreading in his mouth.

After Gu Qingyuan released him, he gently pushed Gu Qingyuan and asked her, "Is it time for my wife to go to the academy now?"

Gu Qingyuan frowned and asked him, "Are you trying to drive me away?"

"No...nothing."

Ji Mingzhao was in a hurry and wanted to explain that he was afraid of delaying his wife's affairs.

Gu Qingyuan sat down leisurely and said with a smile: "I'm not going anywhere today. I'll stay here with you all day."

"My wife..."

Ji Mingzhao spoke with some emotion.

"Hey, little crybaby, are you going to cry again?"

Gu Qingyuan teased him.

Ji Mingzhao forced himself to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

He's not going to cry!

Ji Mingzhao was very happy that day.

Gu Qingyuan accompanied him, not only telling him some interesting stories, but even singing some songs he had never heard before, saying that they were prenatal education for the child.

This was the first time he heard the term prenatal education.
