After a while, Ember replied in a hoarse voice: "Remember, I was wrong."

Tang Hanying sighed, finally let go, and said: "It's good to know that you are wrong, you are the devil after all, you should stop kneeling, get up quickly."

Ember slowly shook her head: "Mother-in-law, please let me kneel, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

"Ah... why are you so stubborn, kid?" Tang Hanying couldn't help but frowned slightly, and continued: "Follow me, I have something to ask you."

Ember was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he quickly regained his senses and nodded.

Xu Shi knelt for a long time, and he was still a little unsteady when he stood up. He supported the door frame and then followed Tang Hanying into the main room on the east side of the courtyard.

"Sit down first." Tang Hanying pointed to the stool.

Ember was already very guilty, and immediately shook her head when she heard the words: "I'll just stand there, mother-in-law, you can ask whatever you want."

"If I tell you to sit, sit down." Tang Hanying sighed, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Ember: "You keep calling me mother-in-law, but are you unwilling to do such a simple request?"

"...No." Ember was so embarrassed that she had no choice but to sit down on the stool.

"That's right." After speaking, Tang Hanying also sat down opposite Ember, and said slowly:

"Ever since...you and the former Demon Emperor ended so tragically, Qiong'er left the Demon Realm after seeing me and his father."

"For so many years, I have only sent letters occasionally. Qiong'er has never been willing to return to the demon world, but yesterday Qiong'er came back suddenly, and his father and I asked him and he didn't want to say. He is very unstable, and we are not much better. Ask, not long after, you will come."

"Although we can't hide from the world in this valley of no worries, we also know about the fact that you have regained control of the devil world, but we don't know about the entanglement between you and Qiong'er, and I don't want to ask about the past."

Tang Hanying looked directly into Ember's eyes, paused and continued: "I just want to ask you today, why is Qiong'er acting like this all of a sudden?"

Ember hurriedly avoided Tang Hanying's suspicious gaze, and subconsciously picked up the teacup to cover it up.

After a long time, he drank the tea in the cup, looked up again as if in compromise, and said slowly: "Mother-in-law, this matter is related to Xueqiong's body, so I won't keep it from you, Xueqiong... I'm three months pregnant."

Tang Hanying was stunned when she heard the words, but she was not too shocked. She knew much about the affairs of the clan than outsiders.

Ember regained his composure, sighed and continued: "He has ascended into a fairy with a bone body, but I... am a demon, so the fetus in his womb will hurt him... I For a while, he was obsessed with ghosts and wanted to coax him to drink medicine and take away the child, but Xue Qiong noticed, and he left the magic palace in a fit of anger and came to his mother-in-law."

Tang Hanying couldn't help frowning, but shook his head helplessly and said: "You are confused, don't think that Qiong'er is always soft-hearted, but he has ideas."

"If he decides to do something, no one can persuade him. If he doesn't want to do something, even if you put a knife on his neck, he will not compromise. If you do that, you will only make him angry."

Seeing Ember's annoyed look at this moment, she sighed and continued: "If you really succeeded yesterday, I'm afraid the relationship between you will end here."

Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed in Ember's eyes, he couldn't help but clenched his palms tightly, and felt more and more remorse in his heart: "It's all my fault..."

Tang Hanying couldn't help shaking his head when he heard that, but he still tried to comfort him: "Don't be impatient, things may turn around, he is also my child, and his father and I will naturally think of ways to take care of him."

----

In the bedroom in the courtyard, Xueqiong is sitting on the edge of the bed, scratching her heart and liver curiously.

He was sleeping lightly now, and he had already woken up when Tang Hanying appeared just now.

Hearing his mother take Ember away for questioning, he struggled to hold back his curiosity and did not go out.

But after such a long time, Ember hadn't returned, so he couldn't help but start to think wildly.

I don't know what mother asked Ember?How will Ember respond?

Just when he couldn't bear to stay on the bed and go out to watch, footsteps came from the door.

Without even thinking about it, Xueqiong got back into the quilt subconsciously and closed her eyes.

Tang Han closed the door and walked to the side of the couch, looked at Xue Qiong with her eyes tightly closed, smiled softly and said, "Don't pretend, it's your mother."

A gentle female voice came from her ear, Xue Qiong opened her eyes with a sigh of relief, sat up obediently and said: "Mother, you are here."

Gently smoothing the messy hair on Li Xueqiong's forehead, Tang Hanying then said softly: "You child, why didn't you tell your mother that you were pregnant?"

Hearing this, Xueqiong couldn't help feeling a little guilty: "He told his mother?"

"Yeah." Tang Hanying nodded, sighed and comforted softly: "Don't worry, Qiong'er, you and the baby in your belly will be healthy and healthy. Mother won't let you have trouble. There must be a way to get the best of both worlds."

Being cared by her mother like a bridge, Xueqiong suddenly began to feel wronged, the tip of her nose was sore, and the circles of her eyes began to turn slightly red.

He couldn't help but reached out and hugged Tang Hanying, nodded and choked up, "Well, mother is so kind."

Tang Hanying gently patted the boy's back and said softly: "Silly boy, I am your mother, if I am not good to you, who will I be good to?"

"By the way, the Demon Lord knelt down in front of your door again. It's not appropriate for him to kneel in front of your door like this. How about you go and wake him up?"

Seeing that Xueqiong didn't speak, she paused, and continued: "If you really don't want to see him, can mother let your father throw him out?"

"Don't!" Xue Qiong exclaimed almost subconsciously out of Tang Hanying's embrace.

After realizing that he was a little too excited, he immediately adjusted his emotions, and said in a low voice: "Mom, I just ask him to get up."

Seeing Xueqiong like this, Tang Hanying couldn't help chuckling, nodded and said: "Okay, then mother will go back first, your father should wait."

"Okay." Xueqiong nodded, but her ears turned red.

How could he not know that his mother persuaded him because she saw his affection for Ember.

After all, he wouldn't feel good even if Ember was kneeling on his knees.

After Tang Hanying left, Xueqiong sat for a while before opening the door.

"Kneeling all night, doesn't your leg hurt?"

Ember knelt straight in front of the door, heard Yan raised her eyes and looked over, shook her head and said: "It doesn't hurt, I made you sad, you should be punished."

Xue Qiong still had no good looks on her face, she nodded her head and said lightly: "You'd better remember what you said yesterday, if you don't care about being kind again, then we'll really make a clean break, did you hear me clearly?"

"Well, not again." Ember replied in a deep voice.

"Okay, get up quickly, what does a majestic demon king look like kneeling here." After saying that, Xue Qiong stopped looking at him, turned and went back to the room.

Ember also hurriedly got up and followed in.

----

At [-]:[-] p.m., Tang Han greeted Xueqiong for dinner, and Ember was also invited.

This lunch, Ember felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, extremely embarrassed.

The dishes he picked up for Xue Qiong, Xue Qiong did not move a single chopstick, they were all neatly stacked on the plate in front of the young man, piled up into a hill.

Ember's food was tasteless, and she didn't dare to speak for fear of offending everyone, so eating a meal was really tormenting.

When he finally finished his lunch, he thought he would finally have the chance to be alone with Xueqiong, but instead he saw Yu Yuan and Yu Heng whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Yu Yuan is now the Demon Emperor, so naturally he is not as reckless as before, and after seeing Ember, he exchanged a few greetings very calmly.

Yu Heng is different, the one favored by Yu Yuan these years is even more unscrupulous than before, and when he sees Yu Jin, he will be mercilessly ridiculed.

"Hey, isn't this the emperor's brother? I haven't seen you for many years, why are you still pretending not to care?"

Ember stood beside Xue Qiong, her fists were clenched tightly, her thin lips were tightly pressed together, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Xueqiong was worried that the two brothers would fight again, so she hurriedly said, "Yu Heng, why are you here?"

Yu Heng snorted stubbornly, turned to look at Xueqiong, smiled and said loudly: "It was the little demon sent by Yu Yuan to deliver things to uncle and aunt. Beautiful young man, I sound like you, so come and have a look."

"Yu Heng, thank you for taking care of my parents for so many years." Xue Qiong was moved and said seriously.

"Thank you, thank you, this is what I should do." Speaking of this, Yu Heng stepped forward and touched Xueqiong's head, and continued with a look of regret: "Little Xueer, speaking of it, you almost became mine back then. As for Wangfei, although I can't marry you now, I can still introduce you to some young talents, who must be thousands of times better than someone."

"Yu Heng, enough is enough." Ember held back her anger and threatened.

Hearing the familiar little Xue'er, Xue Qiong's nose was sour, and her eyes were a little moist, and hearing Yu Heng's next nonsensical words, he was so amused that he wanted to laugh again.

Worried that the two of them would be at war, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's go in and talk about it."

Tang Hanying also smiled, and said warmly: "Yes, His Majesty the Demon Emperor, His Highness King Heng, let's go in and talk about it."

We haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years, and everyone has something to say, and the chat lasted until dark.

Ember knew that she couldn't get in the conversation, so she went to the yard to chop firewood early on. Of course, some of them were suspected of venting their anger.

He waited until Yu Heng and Yu Yuan left him before returning to the house.

Thinking of Yu Heng's cynicism and ridicule of Ember, Xue Qiong couldn't bear to get angry with Ember now, so at dinner, he ate half of the food that Ember brought.

After dinner, she went back to the bedroom, until Ember lay down next to him and Xue Qiong didn't say anything, until Ember proposed to take him back to the Demon Realm.

Xueqiong was so wronged at the time, and she didn't want to sleep now, so she got out of bed in her underwear, and ran to sit on the light couch in front of the window.

Ever since he became pregnant, he also knew that his emotions became very easy to get angry and wronged, but most of the time he couldn't control it.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Xue Qiong choked up with red eyes: "I won't go back with you, who knows if you will bring another bowl of soup on a whim one day, killing me and the baby."
