Chapter 275 lingering
The news that Mrs. Wan was pregnant quickly spread to the whole Xiangyang City as if she had put her wings. In less than a day, the whole family in Xiangyang City, large and small, had already known the news. Some families had even prepared gifts in private to congratulate Liu Qi.
However, more families are still watching. After all, Mrs. Wan is Liu Qi's concubine. If Wanfu is born with a daughter, they will be very happy that both the Xin family and Liu Biao will be at peace, but if Wanfu is born a son, it will be a little complicated.
At that time, it will be hard to say how the Xin family and Liu Biao will treat this eldest son.
Since Liu Qi's wedding, Liu Biao has prepared a courtyard for Xin Pi in Xiangyang City, which is not far from the state pastoral government. In the past few months, Xin Pi has sent someone to receive his wife and children to Xiangyang. Qian, the wife of Xin Pi, was also from a famous family. After marrying Xin Pi, she had a daughter and a son, namely Xin Xianying and her brother Xin Chang.
"Husband, now the eldest son's concubine is pregnant. Once he gave birth to a boy, he will be the eldest son in the future. What should he do if there is a spoiled concubine and destroy his wife?" As soon as Qian Shi heard that Mrs. Wan was pregnant, Xin Pi, who was about to visit her friend, came back with a worried face.
Although what Qian said is a little serious, if Mrs. Wan will give birth to a son in the future and is favored by Liu Qi, her daughter's situation will be a little bad.
"Don't worry, not to mention that Wanfu's life is a man or a woman. I don't know yet. Just say that Mrs. Wan was just a maid of the eldest son before. Even if the eldest son spoils her, it is impossible for Mrs. Wan to cross Xianying. Moreover, the eldest son is not a person who is not polite, and Xianying has been more intelligent since he was a child. Even if Wanfu is the eldest son, it won't help. Compared with Qian's worries, Xin Pi didn't care too much.
The son is a mother, and Mrs. Wan is just a concubine anyway. Her identity is too different from Xin Xianying, and Xin Xianying is also very favored by Liu Qi. It's really early to think about these things now.
"Hey, Xianying has been smart since she was a child, but her husband can't forget that her mother and son are precious. There is no family support behind Mrs. Wan, but if his son is talented and loved by the eldest son in the future, Xianying's status may not be affected. And the last time I saw Mrs. Wan, she was very spoiled by Liu Qi. When Xianying came back last time, he also said that although the eldest son did not interfere in the backyard, he treated them equally and did not have a preference because Xianying was his wife. Qian's face is sad, and it is not uncommon in history that the mother and the son are expensive.
"Since you know that the eldest son is treated equally with several ladies, you don't have to worry about it. The eldest son should have made a decision in his heart about what you are worried about, and the eldest son does not interfere in the backyard and treat everyone equally, which shows that the eldest son's love for several ladies is extremely measured, and he will not Because Mrs. Wan is too fond of her when she is pregnant, she will not be cold to Xianying and others because of this. Xin Pi shook his head.
He also knows Liu Qi very well. Although Liu Qi looks gentle and treats people very gently, this does not mean that Liu Qi has no opinion in his heart. On the contrary, Liu Qi is very clear about everything in his heart. He does not interfere because you have not crossed the bottom line in his heart, but once you cross the bottom The price paid for the line is also extremely heavy.
At this moment, his footsteps were stingy. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came in and saw Xin Pi hurried forward and said, "Father."
"Well, have you finished your homework?" Xin Pi smiled gently.
"It's done." Xin Chang said.
"In that case, haven't you always wanted to see your sister? You just come to visit for me today." Xin Pi looked at her son's eyes full of love.
"Really? Great, I'll go right away." Xin Chang suddenly laughed. He had wanted to see his sister for a long time, but Xin Pi had been stopping him these days. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to let him go to see his sister this time.
"Of course, it's true that you are not young. I will arrange something for you in a few months." Xin Pi looked at Xin Changdao. If the Xin family wants to take root in Xiangyang, it is impossible to rely on him alone. If Xin Chang can be reused under Liu Qi, it can also provide a guarantee for Xin Xianying.
"Thank you, father." Xin was extremely excited, but he was a little surprised. In the past, he wanted to see his sister and go out to work. His father always refused, but today his father actually agreed, which surprised him.
"Well, then you can go." Xin Pi nodded and let Xin Chang retreat.
Although Xin Chang was puzzled, he still bowed and walked out.
"Didn't you not go out to work for a long time? Why did you agree to it today?" Qian looked at Xin Pi doubtfully. In the past, every time she asked Xin Chang to go out to work, Xin Pi said that Xin Chang would talk about it when he was still young. Unexpectedly, Xin Pi took the initiative to mention this matter today.
"I used to be with Yuan Benchu. The more entangled with Yuan Benchu's power, the more difficult it is to get out, so I don't let Changer go out to work. But today, since I have decided to stay in Xiangyang, it's not bad for Chang'er to go out to experience." Xin Pi shook his head.
Since Mrs. Wan is pregnant, whether it is a man or a woman, the fight will begin. Although it is under the pressure of Liu Biao and Liu Qi, nothing big will happen, but Changer can grow up early just in case.
At the same time, Liu Biao in the state pastoral government also received the news that Liu Qi's concubine was pregnant. Liu Biao just smiled at this. Obviously, in his opinion, whether Wanfu was a boy or a girl, it didn't have a big impact.
......................................................
In a mountain forest more than 50 miles east of Xiangyang, the spring water flows, several boats keep shaking on the bank of the stream, and several tents stand next to the trees not far away. Hundreds of soldiers were patrolling back and forth around. These soldiers looked extremely careful and nervous.
In the big tent, more than a dozen young generals in armor are sitting around and discussing things.
"General, this time my subordinates secretly returned to Xiangyang City and found that the city of Xiangyang has changed a lot. More than a thousand people from more than a dozen families have been killed by Liu Qi's child as early as we escaped. Even the family that used to be loyal to our families was eradicated by Liu Qi. At present, the whole Xiangyang has been It fell into the hands of Liu Qi. A young general said with a depressing face.
"This Liu Qi's child is really damned. There are at least a thousand people in more than ten families. This Liu Qi's child is so vicious. From the elders to the age of 80 to the newborn, no one has escaped. Now we are the only ones left in more than ten families." A young general said hatefully.
These people are the people who escaped from the water army camp that day. These people are mostly Cai's family. They have long known that Cai Mao secretly colluded with Cao Cao, so they were ready at the beginning and waited for Cai Mao's order to prepare for a mutiny at any time, but they didn't expect to be Wang Wei. Unprepared, these people could only lead some of their subordinates to escape and hide in the mountains and forests.
As everyone spoke, they looked at Cai Xun, who had never spoken. These people's families were led by the Cai family. Now that the Cai family has been killed, they have to unite, and Cai Xun is the leader of these people.
"General Cai, what do you think should be done? Liu Qi's child has a deep hatred for us. Even if he can't kill him, he will have no peace." A young general said with a ferocious face.
"Everyone is right. At present, we can only rely on ourselves. Cao Cao said it well and formed an alliance with us. In the end, he sold us and ignored us. Now even if we go to Cao Cao, we can't get it seriously. Maybe he will give us to Liu Qi as a bargaining chip for Liu Qi. However, there are many guards around Liu Qi. Even the black guard in his heyday can't assassinate Liu Qi, and we can't do it alone. Cai Xun shook his head.
"General Cai, Liu Qi's child, we all have a deep hatred. Can't we just forget it like this? If General Cai doesn't want revenge, we won't stop him, but if I want revenge, you can't care. Hearing Cai Xun say this, a young general immediately stood up and stared at Cai Xun with an angry face. The others also looked at Cai Xun with an angry face.
"Don't worry. Although there are many guards around Liu Qi, we can't get it, but the people around Liu Qi don't have so many guards, and Liu Qi has any precautions. At that time, killing a few people is enough to make Liu Qi regret for the rest of his life." Seeing that the young general hit him, Cai Xun's eyes flashed with anger and said quietly.
"Okay, if Liu Qi kills our relatives, we will treat him in his own way and let Liu Qi live worse than death." A young general immediately clapped his hands and said excitedly.
"Did General Li find out any other news when he went to Xiangyang this time? For example, what kind of people are more important around Liu Qi, but they are on the defensive? Seeing that everyone agreed, Cai Xun smiled coldly and turned his head to a young general beside him and asked.
The more these people are, the easier it is to control.
"This time I went to Xiangyang and heard that one of Liu Qi's wives was pregnant. Liu Qi's wife is a concubine of Liu Qi. She used to be Liu Qi's maid. She didn't have a high status in Liu Qi's house, and there should be no guards around her. Why don't we put the target on her? You know, this is a corpse. Two lives are enough for Liu Qi to die. The young general known as General Li looked at the crowd with a gloomy face.
"Okay, it's this man who kills Liu Qi's unborn eldest son and let him taste what life is better than death." The young general who was strongly in favor of revenge on Liu Qi immediately shouted loudly.
"In this case, let's kill this person. The goal of going to Xiangyang should not be too big, otherwise it will be easy for people to recognize us. How about leaving this matter to General Wang?" Cai Xun smiled and turned his head to look at the man.
