Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

Shen Qingxi could only stare blankly at Old Master He's longing expression.

Madam Yang quickly said softly, "Father...it's not your fault, little brother won't blame you!"

He looked at Shen Qingxi and said, "Little brother... don't you think so..."

Seeing the pleading look in his eyes, Shen Qingxi nodded.

"Yes...it's not your fault!"

After hearing this, Old Master He forced a smile, "Ming...Mingxuan, Father...Father will...come and keep you company...is that...okay?"

He looked at Shen Qingxi expectantly, his expression suggesting that Shen Qingxi would nod in agreement.

It would be as if Old Master He were truly passing away.

Tears streamed down Yang's face; she was overcome with grief.

Shen Qingxi's eyes widened, and she suddenly said, "No...no, I don't want you to come with me..."

"I hope you live well... and stay safe and sound!"

Madam Yang also breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.

"Father...did you hear me...your little brother wants you to live well!"

Old Master He's eyes were filled with tears, and he gasped for breath, "Uh... okay... okay... Ming... Xuan... Father... Father promises you!"

"Ming...Mingxuan, you...don't go...Father...Father misses you..."

His voice grew softer and softer, and he gradually lost his strength.

He forced his eyelids open, keeping his eyes fixed on Shen Qingxi, until finally he could no longer hold on and slowly closed them.

Yang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly placed her hand between the noses of the old man.

Sensing that faint breath, he hurriedly spoke to his servant.

"Quickly...quickly go and fetch the imperial physician!!"

The room quickly became extremely busy.

Shen Qingxi silently stepped back a few steps and came to Han Zixuan's side.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Han Zixuan gently put her arm around Shen Qingxi's shoulder.

The two left Old Master He's room, and the servants waiting outside saw them come out.

They hurriedly stepped forward and invited Jiang Qing and Cui Shi to wait in a guest room.

None of them looked well, and Han Zixuan frowned as she looked at Jiang Qing.

"Senior Uncle, what exactly is going on with this young master of the He family?"

Jiang Qing and Cui Shi suddenly paused, then sighed.

"Sigh... never mind, my master doesn't know much. Husband, you should talk to Zixuan about it!"

How could a woman like her talk about such private matters? She turned to look at Madam Cui.

Cui's expression was somewhat strange. He hadn't known the reason before, and only learned it from Yang.

He sighed heavily and said slowly, "Alas, that was almost twenty years ago!"

It caused quite a stir in Kyoto at the time…

Han Zixuan and Shen Qingxi listened very attentively.

One was out of curiosity, and the other was to gather more information.

"Back then, He Mingxuan was in his prime and was a rare noble young man in the capital."

At a banquet in the palace, he met Feng Yu, who was then the Princess of Nan'an.

His Majesty saw that the two were both talented and handsome, and neither had anyone they liked, so he issued an edict to bestow a marriage upon them!

At the time, everyone, including the nobles of Kyoto, thought the two were a match made in heaven.

The wedding was truly grand and solemn, and He Mingxuan followed her to live in the fiefdom of Princess Nan'an.

More than a year later, the He family received news that He Mingxuan was about to give birth.

The old general and Grandpa He were overjoyed and went to the southern border together.

After a long and hurried journey, they finally arrived at the Southern Border and went to visit their son with gifts!

Upon hearing from the gatekeeper that Princess Nan'an was not at home and that her pregnant son had been imprisoned for angering her, he realized that he had angered Princess Nan'an!

The two were extremely worried, but the servants in the mansion blocked them from entering.

The old general and the old master were furious and shoved the servants of the princess's mansion aside.

They held a sword to a steward's neck and forced her to tell them the location.

They rushed over, only to find He Mingxuan lying dead on the bed.

The bed was covered in blood, the abdomen was wide open, and blood was flowing all over the floor.

There wasn't even a single servant in the room.

The old man fainted upon seeing it, and the old general went completely mad!

After wreaking havoc at the Nan'an Princess's mansion, the Nan'an Princess, upon learning that the old general's wife and husband had arrived in the southern border, hurriedly returned!

Feng Yu was also greatly shocked to learn of He Mingxuan's tragic death.

When questioned, none of the servants in the mansion could explain the reason.

Feng Yu was eager to explain, but the old general wouldn't listen.

This caused complete chaos at the Princess Nan'an's residence, and despite sending people to investigate inside and outside the residence, no clues were found!

In a fit of anger, the old general beat up the Princess of Nan'an.

Regardless of the consequences, they took He Mingxuan's body back to Kyoto for burial.

The distance between Kyoto and the southern border has attracted a lot of gossip.

General He even filed a complaint with the Emperor, but due to insufficient evidence, the matter was hastily concluded.

Knowing that Princess Nan'an had committed the crime of lax management of her subordinates, she was only punished with a salary deduction and confinement to reflect on her mistakes!

General He and Old Master He had no choice but to give up.

This statement publicly declares that the He family will have no further dealings with Princess Feng Yu of Nan'an. The He family must remember this!

The fact that they couldn't find the person who murdered He Mingxuan caused General He and his wife to feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

The old general passed away two years ago, and Old Master He's health has been deteriorating day by day..."

After Cui finished speaking, she slowly exhaled, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and looked at the people with different expressions!

Finally, the focus shifted to Shen Qingxi, "When I first met you, I didn't think anything of it."

Now it seems you truly resemble that Young Master He.

Even the old patriarch of the He family would grab him and not let go.

Shen Qingxi's face was full of bitterness. He wondered if it was just his imagination after listening to Cui's explanation.

There was a dull, oppressive feeling in my chest that I couldn't shake off!

Han Zixuan frowned in confusion and said, "Then Young Master He is already pregnant."

What about the child? Is the child dead or alive? Young Master He's abdomen is wide open, clearly indicating that he is about to give birth.

We only saw Young Master He's body. Did General He and Old Master He not see the child's body?

Jiang Qing's eyes widened, and Cui Shi was taken aback before slowly shaking her head.

"No... There's no one in the room. Young Master He died such a tragic death, the child probably didn't survive either..."

Just then, a voice came from the doorway, "No mother, no father saw the child's body!"

The group looked up and saw Madam Yang walking over, her face haggard.

Everyone stood up, and Jiang Qing asked, "How is the old master?"

Madam Yang let out a sigh of relief, "The old master is already asleep. The imperial physician said he only has a few days left..."

I have already written to the general, but I don't know if I will be able to see the old master one last time..."

The border is a month's journey from Kyoto, and as the garrison commander, the general naturally cannot return to the capital rashly.

I'm afraid I won't be able to see him one last time...

He then bowed slightly to Shen Qingxi and Han Zixuan to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Lady Han, for coming today, Young Master Shen..."

Seeing that the old master "He Mingxuan" was no longer struggling in pain, we can let him pass away peacefully!

This is the only thing he could do as a son-in-law!

He, Yang, will repay the favor in the future!
