Planning to marry the third master

The funeral was held three days later. The news of Xie Xinhui's critical illness had been reported. No matter how hard she tried, she was still a step too late. She cried at the last moment and her tears were so tragic. She had married far away and could not be with her mother often. In the end, she was bound to have many regrets.

Feng Zhuohua naturally also wanted to see him off for the last time, so she stood beside Xie Yunxiao with her face covered. In such a solemn occasion, no one paid attention to her. Only after Luo Mingshuang was buried in the Xie family's ancestral tomb was the matter settled.

The mourners gradually left, but Feng Zhuohua was troubled. Luo Mingshuang's last wish was to find out Xie Xinnian's situation. It would not be too late to ask Xie Xinnian after he had rested and recovered.

After three days of sleepless mourning, Xie Xinnian naturally fell into a deep sleep, unable to distinguish between day and night.

The sad atmosphere did not pass all at once. Xie Xinnian was overworked and depressed, so he locked himself in his room.

Xie Yunxiao could have gone with Feng Zhuohua, but he had to stay here. He came to Jinling to sort out his property. Thanks to his wife, his property in Jinling was mostly pawnshops. The income was not much, but there were many shops. If added together in Jinling, the money was not to be underestimated. He didn't have to go out, and his family could have no worries about food and clothing.

During the day, Xie Yunxiao was not there, but Feng Zhuohua was waiting for Xie Xinxian.

Until Xie Yunxiao came back and asked, "How is it?"

Feng Zhuohua also shook his head and said, "I haven't come out for a whole day."

Xie Yunxiao turned around and went to find Xie Xinnian.

Feng Zhuohua held him back and said, "Speak properly, or you can call him over and I will interrogate him."

Both of them are elders. Xie Xinnian and Xie Yunxiao are rare close people in the Xie Mansion. Naturally, they want to do good for him. They nodded and said, "I know."

Xie Xinnian was being waited on by someone in the room, and that person was quietly accompanying him. Xie Xinnian rested his head on the woman's lap, and the woman looked distressed, but she remained silent and did not disturb him even though her legs were numb.

This woman was the one who secretly found a place to vomit, although she was wearing a maid's clothes, but upon closer inspection, her face was as white as goose fat, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, and her expression was like autumn water. She was indescribably gentle and delicate, but her maid's clothes and makeup, as well as her bangs that reached her eyebrows, suppressed most of her beauty. It was said that a beautiful woman was hidden in a golden house, and the same was true for a mansion.

Someone knocked on the door and said, "Master, the Third Master wants to see you."

Hearing this, Xie Xinnian sat up and quickly put on his clothes. Yuan Jinjin came forward to help, but when he got out of bed, his legs became weak and numb.

Seeing this, Xie Xinnian helped the person to sit down and massaged her a little. Yuan Jinjin frowned and gritted her teeth for fear of making a sound.

Seeing this, Xie Xinnian found it funny and his expression so cute, so he walked up to him and pecked him on the mouth.

As for the Third Master, Xie Xinnian didn't dare to ask anyone to wait any longer, so he put on his clothes and walked out. When Yuan Jinjin felt better, she followed him.

Xie Xinnian went out and called out to everyone he saw: "Third Uncle."

Xie Yunxiao looked at Xie Xinnian, then looked at the maid who followed him out, and said indifferently: "Is that your chambermaid?"

Xie Xinnian was stunned, turned around and looked at Yuan Jinjin, then denied it, "No."

Xie Yunxiao said: "You are not a child anymore, it's okay to have one or two companions, just don't get anyone killed."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jinjin’s face turned pale.

Xie Xinnian didn't know that the woman behind him was pregnant, so he said, "That's not the case."

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said, "Your Third Aunt is at the waterside, waiting for you for a whole day."

The two walked towards the waterside pavilion, and Xie Xinnian asked in confusion: "Why didn't Third Aunt send someone to call me when she wanted to see me?"

"I just feel sorry for you being tired. I don't want to disturb your rest."

As they spoke, the two of them quickened their pace.

Yuan Jinjin followed behind, she knew that Third Grandma was the one who decided Xie Xinnian's marriage, no doubt Third Grandma was a good person, but she was of low status after all. Third Grandma Xie's words made her uneasy, and she followed as if possessed. She went to have a look at the tea shop.

Xie Xinnian walked to the waterside pavilion and saw Feng Zhuohua sitting there. Thinking that she would wait for a whole day, he couldn't help but say, "Third Aunt wants to see me, just send someone to call me."

Feng Zhuohua curved her lips and said, "Sit down, let's talk."

Xie Yunxiao sat next to Feng Zhuohua.

Xie Xinnian sat opposite Feng Zhuohua and asked, "What does Third Aunt want to say?"

Feng Zhuohua looked at Xie Xinnian. Although he had grown up a lot, he still looked a bit young, especially when she called her Third Aunt. She was still thinking of the time when she had just taken over the Xie family and was still a child.

A maid came to serve tea, but the few people didn't take it seriously. After serving, the maid quietly retreated to the side.

Feng Zhuohua said, "I think your mother entrusted me with something before she died, so I can't be completely ignorant of your affairs."

"What does Third Aunt want to know?"

Feng Zhuohua said in a gentle and soft voice, "Is there anyone by your side?"

Xie Xinnian quickly denied: "No."

"Really not?"

Xie Xinnian said firmly: "Really not."

These words made Yuan Jinjin, his woman, feel uncomfortable. She used to be on guard against Luo Mingshuang, and she thought it was for her own good. But today, is it still for her own good?

Feng Zhuohua said: "It doesn't matter if there is. Let me take a look. I will feel relieved if someone takes care of you."

Her voice was like a spring breeze and drizzle, making people unconsciously let down their guard. Xie Xinnian really started to think about it. Whether he said it or not, his aunt would be his lifelong roommate. Third Aunt was kind and not as strong as his mother. Because he had just said that he really didn't have it, now he reacted and blurted out, "Really not."

Xie Yunxiao was about to laugh, but this man was being stubborn. He just glanced at his wife and said nothing.

Feng Zhuohua curved his lips, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly said: "Xin Nian, there is nothing wrong with talking about these things. What if I know about them? If you don't tell me, I will call the palace doctor to come to your hospital and take your pulse one by one."

"Take the pulse? What is this for?"

Yuan Jinjin glanced at Feng Zhuohua and her face turned pale.

Feng Zhuohua said: "I saw someone in your courtyard hiding and vomiting secretly before. I think she is pregnant. If it is really not yours, then it must be that the servants in your courtyard are not disciplined."

Xie Xinnian turned his head and looked at Yuan Jinjin who was standing behind him.

Their eyes met, and Xie Xinnian looked at Yuan Jinjin in confusion.

Yuan Jinjin's face turned pale. What else could she not say at this time? Xie Xinnian was happy for a moment, but he suppressed his joy and said, "Third Aunt is mistaken."

Yuan Jinjin had no choice but to speak up: "Third Madam, you are mistaken. I have a stomachache."

Feng Zhuohua then noticed that this maid was that maid.

How could the two children hide the truth from their elders? Xie Yunxiao said calmly, "Chao Er, go get the palace doctor."

"Yes."

Yuan Jinjin was panicked and didn't know what to do.

Xie Xinnian turned around and asked, "Jin Jin, you...?"

Yuan Jinjin glanced at Mr. Xie San and Feng Zhuohua, not knowing whether to tell them or not. There was no point in hiding it now, and she couldn't hide it any longer, so she said, "Slave, it does seem like she is pregnant."

Xie Xinnian had a happy smile on his face. He held Yuan Jinjin's hand in front of Feng Zhuohua and said, "I will treat you well."

The one who was worried about this was Feng Zhuohua.

Xie Yunxiao also frowned.

After Xie Xinnian's emotions stabilized, the court doctor also came and helped Yuan Jinjin to sit down. Yuan Jinjin had to stretch out her hand for the doctor to feel her pulse.

After a while, the court doctor stood up and said, "She is more than two months pregnant."

Xie Xinnian had a visible smile on his face. He called the court doctor to collect the reward and said that it would be kept secret for the time being.

The court doctor turned around and walked out.
