379 Entering the Capital (1)

These n.o.bles from the capital praised his grandson. Old Master Liu smiled until his face was covered in wrinkles. “Madam Song is magnanimous. Our Liu family can’t be petty, right? How about this? I’ll round it up. 100 taels.”

With that, he looked at a steward behind him. “Liu Tong, go and get money for Madam Song.”

He had been doing business for so many years. The Song family was about to recover their glory. If he didn’t befriend them now, when would he be able to do so in the future?

“No need, no need. Just give me 13 taels.” Shen Yijia blushed in embarra.s.sment. She felt her heart ache for a long time even though it was cheaper by 200 copper coins.

Unexpectedly, this old man was so generous. Thinking of something, her eyes lit up. “Why don’t you pack some more snacks for us?”

Old Master Liu was stunned. He glanced at the empty plates on the table and the corners of his mouth twitched. He nodded at Liu Tong. “It’s good that Madam Song likes it. I’ll get someone to make more.”

“Master, Master, this is a joyous occasion!” A maidservant ran in excitedly.

Shen Yijia immediately recognized this maidservant as the one who had followed Song Jiayue just now.

Old Master Liu was interrupted and frowned unhappily. “Why are you shouting?”

Normally, the maidservant would have been frightened out of her wits. However, not only was she not afraid, but she also glanced at Shen Yijia proudly before bowing. “Congratulations, Master. The doctor diagnosed that Madam Song is pregnant.”

Shen Yijia was puzzled by her gaze. Indeed, like master, like maidservant.

She was just pregnant. The father wasn’t even handsome like Song Jingchen. She did not understand why she was so smug.

Shen Yijia felt that it was not a big deal, but it stunned the two men of the Liu family.

Old Master Liu felt that he was hallucinating. He confirmed again, “Really?”

“Master, how could Doctor Chen’s diagnosis be wrong? The pregnancy has reached the first month.”

Old Master Liu’s lips trembled. “Alright, alright. There will be rewards. Liu Tong, go! Give every servant in the residence an extra three months’ worth of salary.”

“Master, Young Madam was a little frightened just now…” The maidservant carefully glanced at Liu Jinbao and hesitated for a long time before saying,” Moreover, she did not have a good appet.i.te these past few days. She had been thinking about the dragon beard pastry, but she didn’t expect someone to…”

She only said half of every sentence, but no one present was a fool.

Old Master Liu’s face darkened and he asked nervously, “Is something wrong with my precious son?”

Joy flashed across the maidservant’s eyes. “Doctor Chen said that Young Madam’s pregnancy was affected… However, Master, don’t worry. Doctor Chen also said that fortunately, Young Madam’s health is good. With two more doses of pregnancy stabilizing medicine, he can ensure that the fetus in her stomach is fine. It’s just that…”

Old Master Liu was so frightened by her words that he almost couldn’t breathe. It was only because he was in a good mood today that he didn’t argue with this maidservant, but he was impatient to listen anymore. “I’ll go and see her.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to walk out. He thought of something and turned around to cup his hands at Shen Yijia. “Madam Song, wait here for a moment. Someone will send the snacks and silver later. I still have something to do, so I’ll excuse myself.”

Shen Yijia felt that his footsteps were lighter than before.

Liu Jinbao, who had been ignored by Old Master Liu ever since he heard that Song Jiayue was pregnant, came back to his senses. He turned around and looked in the direction Old Master Liu had left. He muttered, “Grandfather…”

He was a little mixed up, but he was not stupid. On the contrary, he had heard all sorts of things since he was young. Fortunately, he was the only son of the Liu family.

Therefore, he knew very well why he was still doted on. He also knew what the arrival of this child meant.

“Liu Jinbao, are you alright?” Sister Huan leaned over and asked softly.

Liu Jinbao turned to look at Sister Huan stiffly. He felt a lump in his throat and was about to cry, but he held it in.

Sister Huan sighed in her heart. Children were so troublesome.

She untied a sleeve arrow from her wrist and handed it to him. “Here, my brother made this for me. I’m giving it to you now.”

“You can’t bully others with it.” She did not forget how arrogant Liu Jinbao was when she first met him. “But if anyone bullies you, you can use it to protect yourself.”

Liu Jinbao’s eyes turned a little red.

Brother Hao was puzzled. Wasn’t Liu Jinbao his friend? When did he become so familiar with Sister Huan? Unwilling to fall behind, he took off his sleeve arrow and stuffed it into his hand.

Liu Jinbao was so touched that he cried.
