Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

"Yeah," Mu Shaochen replied indifferently, "Just keep an eye on them, don't let them find out."

"Yes!" Dongfeng responded and left.

Mu Shaochen put a piece of Xu Zhimiao's favorite crispy cake into the bowl in front of her.

"I can't eat anymore." Xu Zhimiao shook his head. "If I eat any more, I'll feel sick again."

"Then don't eat." He said seriously, "Whenever you want to eat, just tell me. Don't let yourself suffer."

In the past two days, due to her pregnancy, Xu Zhimiao's appetite has been up and down, and she has started to have morning sickness.

But Mu Shaochen and others were greatly shocked.

This is the first great-grandson of the Marquis’s family, and the old lady treasures him very much.

Not only the old lady, but everyone in the entire Qing'an Residence and the East Courtyard was putting their best efforts into taking care of Xu Zhimiao carefully, meticulously and seriously.

Everything he eats, wears, and uses is of the best quality, and has been checked several times.

It must be ensured that there is no harm.

Mu Shaochen even wished he could stay with Xu Zhimiao for twelve hours.

Except for the time when he attended court, he really stayed by her side all the time.

Xu Zhimiao was really amused by his nervous expression, but her heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction.

He took the handkerchief beside him and gently wiped the corners of her lips. "Everything is based on your preferences and tastes. Don't be greedy."

Xu Zhimiao smiled brightly, "I know. Huijun has said this countless times. Don't worry, I know. I will never let myself down, nor will I let your son down."

"Daughter!" Mu Shaochen corrected with a serious face.

Xu Zhimiao was slightly startled, then smiled brightly, "Does my husband like his daughter so much?"

"Of course!" Mu Shaochen nodded, with an extremely gentle smile on his face. "If I had a daughter as beautiful and intelligent as you, I would hold her in my arms and envy those who don't have daughters to death."

"What if it doesn't look like me?" Xu Zhimiao looked at him with a smile.

"It's OK to be like me," he said. "It's not much different."

"It turns out that the prince is quite narcissistic!" Xu Zhimiao laughed softly.

"This is not narcissism, but self-confidence." He stared at her with an expression of incomparable tenderness and affection.

"Okay, my husband is very confident." Xu Zhimiao smiled like a peach blossom, and then her face became serious, "My husband, do you know what the married daughter of the second house is doing back at this time?"

"It's nothing more than that the second branch has no female relatives now, so they let her come back as a female relative of the second branch and do some things that are inconvenient for them and her son to do." Mu Shaochen said calmly.

Xu Zhimiao nodded, "For example, going to the palace to meet the queen."

"Yes." Mu Shaochen agreed, "The Second House has no other options and can only rely on Mu Yun as their last straw."

[But, Mu Yun may not necessarily be their life-saving straw! ]

[If the original plot is followed, Mu Yun will not survive this year. Her husband is not as cowardly as he appears to be.]

[That was just an act. After all, who wouldn't want to be the heir of the Marquisate and become a future Marquis? ]

[But who made Yong'an Marquis and his wife favor the youngest son? They have favored the youngest son since he was young. ]

[Mu Yun's husband Wu Qing is indeed of average talent, but he is also arrogant. He is not the kind of person who turns a deaf ear to the world outside and focuses on his painting.]

[He had already surrendered to the King of Jin and had been secretly working for him.]

[In the original plot, three months later, when Mu Yun accidentally discovered that he was working for the King of Jin and wanted to harm her family, she wanted to tip off Mu Yiwen.]

【But she was discovered by Wu Qing, who then cut her throat without blinking. 】

[Now that my appearance has changed the plot, I don’t know how long Mu Yun can live. Will she discover Wu Qing’s true identity?]

Mu Shaochen was shocked.

Wu Qing is working for Prince Jin?

The Prince of Jin was the youngest brother of the current emperor, and the most beloved son of the late emperor. However, despite being the one the late emperor loved the most, the late emperor never thought of passing the throne to him.

Firstly, the King of Jin was indeed too young. If the throne was really passed on to him, it would be disadvantageous to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

How can a little kid shoulder such a heavy responsibility? Wouldn't that give others an opportunity to take advantage of him?

The late emperor was not so foolish.

Secondly, the emperor who was the crown prince at the time was the eldest son of the queen.

Be it status or talent, there is nothing to fault.

The late emperor had only one request to the current emperor, which was to protect his younger brother and never have the intention to kill him at any time.

Because the Prince of Jin had no interest in that position, and the late emperor had never thought of passing the position to him.

Since the death of the previous emperor and the accession of the current emperor to the throne, the country has always been peaceful and the people have been prosperous.

Prince Jin did not show any sign of being unusual. He was a carefree prince who spent his days traveling and never participated in court affairs.

Although he is now over thirty years old, the number of times he has appeared in the capital can be counted on one hand.

Almost everyone has almost forgotten about King Jin.

Especially this year, after the Lantern Festival, he once again traveled far away from Beijing and never returned to Beijing.

How...how come...

Mu Shaochen really couldn't understand it.

What is even more puzzling is that the eldest son of the Yong'an Marquisate is actually secretly helping the Prince of Jin?

Do something? What is it? Rebellion? Or... something else?

He was full of doubts, but he couldn't ask Xu Zhimiao directly, so he could only wait for her to continue "talking".

However, Xu Zhimiao stopped "speaking".

This made Mu Shaochen so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Xu Zhimiao looked at him with concern, "Why are you sweating? You don't look very well, but are you feeling unwell?"

While asking, I reached out to touch his forehead and said, "You don't have a fever. You were fine just now, why are you sweating all of a sudden?"

He held her hand in his palm, looking relieved and satisfied, "It's okay, maybe I'm too nervous. After all, this is my first time as a father. Whether it's you or the child, I'm happy and nervous."

This is the only excuse I can use. I can’t tell her that it’s because I “listened” to her voice.

Hearing this, Xu Zhimiao let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Hey, there's nothing to worry about. I'm fine. Besides, isn't there a palace doctor ready to see you at any time?"

"Also, grandma and mother hired the most experienced midwife long ago. The maids and servants who take care of me in the mansion are all very careful."

"You, stop worrying about nothing!"

Mu Shaochen smiled awkwardly and touched his nose. "Nervousness is not something I can control. Miaomiao, how about we just have this one child?"
