Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

Zhao Ping was caught off guard and took a step back, falling to the ground. His heart suddenly felt empty, and then a look of grievance appeared in his eyes.

He was almost never beaten by his parents.

I didn't expect that the first time I was taught a lesson would be in this situation.

Although he also called her Sir or Miss before, he actually didn't feel that he was a servant or inferior to others.

He just imitated his father, calling "Sir" and "Miss", thinking that he should be focused and do everything well.

But at this moment, he truly felt that he was a servant, and suddenly felt disheartened.

When Zhuzi saw his son fall, he felt a pain in his heart.

In fact, although Zhuzi was angry, he didn't use too much strength. It was just that Zhao Ping was caught off guard and couldn't stand steadily for a while.

Zhao Ping was his first child, and he was smart and sensible since he was young. He usually helped him and his wife take care of their naughty younger brothers and never gave him any worries.

The younger ones might have been hit a few times when they were disobedient and made a fuss, but he really never hit his eldest son.

Qin Yunhe's reaction just now was too big, which made him anxious. Thinking that his son's behavior was a bit inappropriate, he became more and more angry.

After kicking his son, he regretted it when he saw him sitting on the ground with a wronged look on his face.

Qin Yunhe was only concerned about his daughter and did not expect Zhuzi to do this suddenly. He quickly stood up and said, "Zhuzi, don't blame the child."

Qin Yunhe only now realized that he had overreacted before and felt very guilty.

He only thought that his daughter was taken away and sold by servants in the previous life, but he forgot that Zhao Ping was Zhuzi's child and he had known him since he was a child.

Besides, his father works for him, so why would he sell his daughter?

"Zhao Ping, are you okay?"

Qin Yunhe reached out to help Zhao Ping up and brushed the dirt off him.

No matter how sensible he is, Zhao Ping is only eleven or twelve years old, so it is normal for him to be playful.

Especially since I used to run around the countryside with my younger brother every day, it is really boring to be confined to the yamen and do errands.

Qin Yunhe helped him brush off the dirt, and then he saw that he didn't look at his father or himself, but just lowered his head to look at the ground not far away, feeling even more ashamed.

"Good children, I was too anxious when I couldn't find you just now, don't be angry with adults."

"My Lord, please don't worry about him. He is so old and only knows how to play."

Zhuzi still had a sulky expression on his face, but his tone was a little weak.

"Zhu Zi, stop talking. This is all my fault. I overreacted. Now that we have found the child, let's go back."

With such a commotion, no one except Ruyi was in the mood to play.

When she got home, Yu Ru was still waiting anxiously. As soon as she saw her daughter, she hurried over to pick her up.

Qin Yunhe put his daughter down and said, "It's okay. The two children just got lost and arrived a little late."

Seeing Yuru relieved, Qin Yunhe pulled his daughter over and said seriously, "Ruyi, don't run away without telling your parents in the future. Do you know how worried your parents are?"

Ruyi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yu Ru quickly said, "Okay, it's okay. Ru Yi just wanted to go out and play because she was bored."

"You don't know, Zhuzi kicked Zhao Ping just now when he saw him. I think the child is also very aggrieved. Zhao Ping will definitely try his best to satisfy Ruyi's request. If we don't teach her now, if she suddenly has a whim one day and does something dangerous without telling us, it will be too late to regret if something really happens."

Qin Yunhe lowered his head and said to his daughter, "Whenever you want to do something in the future, you should think more about the consequences and ask your parents more often, okay?"

Ruyi was also shocked when she saw Zhuzi kicking Zhao Ping down.

Although I don’t know why they were kicked out for going out to play, I still vaguely thought that maybe they shouldn’t go out to play like this.

"I understand, Dad. I'll tell you and Mom about this when I go out next time..."

Qin Yunhe finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter's obedient promise. He touched her head and said, "Be good."

When Yu Ru saw them finish talking, she asked, "Is Zhao Ping okay?"

"It seems fine, but he must feel aggrieved. Zhuzi and his wife love their child very much, so they probably hit him the first time. Alas——"

After saying this, Qin Yunhe realized that his wife still looked a little pale, so he quickly grabbed Yuru's hand and asked, "Are you okay? Why do you look pale to me?"

"Maybe it's because of my period, it's okay."

Qin Yunhe frowned and said, "I've never seen you so miserable before."

"Chi'er, go find... find Zhao Da and ask him to get a doctor."

Yu Ru wanted to stop him, but Qin Yun He still insisted on letting Chi Er go.

Soon an old doctor was invited in.

The old doctor twisted his beard while checking Yu Ru's pulse and asked, "Madam, have you felt unwell recently?"

"My period is not regular. It was delayed for a long time and just came. Also, I have been feeling sleepy and have no appetite lately."

"Madam said... her period has come?"

"Yes, is there anything wrong?"

After a while, he said, "Madam is pregnant."

Qin Yunhe was stunned for a moment, then his brows brightened with joy after a moment of reaction: "Really?"

Yu Ru got nervous after hearing this: "So I just...saw blood?"

Qin Yunhe's face froze instantly, and he asked nervously, "Doctor, what should we do? Is everything okay?"

"The fetus is a little weak, but it's not a big problem. I wonder if Madam's spotting is serious."

"It doesn't seem to be serious."

"Then Madam, don't worry too much. I'll prescribe a prescription for you to take care of it."

After seeing the doctor off, the couple were very happy.

They had been apart more than together in the past few years, and they had never thought about getting pregnant again, but they didn't expect that they would get pregnant again when they didn't force it.

Qin Yunhe passed down the prescription written by the doctor and reminded Chi'er Cun'er to remember to boil the medicine on time every day.

He also told the cook to prepare more dishes so that Yu Ru would feel hungry after eating them.

Then she called her daughter and told her that her mother was pregnant and that she could not rush over to her suddenly.

……

Qin Yunhe was busy with work, and when he finished giving all the instructions, he saw Yuru looking at him and smiling, and he couldn't help but curl his eyes again.

In the wing room of the second hall, Zhuzi had just prepared dinner.

This veranda room was specially arranged by Qin Yunhe.

It was inconvenient for the father and son to live in the duty room or rent a house here, so Qin Yunhe asked someone to find two empty rooms for them to use.

Zhuzi, who had prepared the meal, hesitated.

He felt a little regretful that he had kicked his son, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize to him.

After hesitating for a while, he said stiffly, "It's time to eat."

Zhao Ping lay on the bed in the inner room, motionless for a long time.

Zhuzi sat down and ate by himself out of spite.

After a long while, Zhao Ping walked out silently and sat down.

The father and son ate in silence.

In fact, the kick no longer hurt. It wasn’t even as painful as when he fell to the ground.

But he could feel the footprints so clearly on his left hip that it made him feel discouraged when he thought about it.
