Baili Yan heard he was leaving and almost waved him off with both hands in joy. He immediately granted permission and even gave a generous gift.
Since the Prince of Yueluo Kingdom was leaving, Luo Linhao naturally had to leave the Capital City as well, as he was needed to station at the southern border.
"Mom, will Uncle and the others come back after they head to the south?" Luo Linhao had already packed up and was waiting to set off tomorrow.
Yang Chuxia packed some things to bring over to Yang Xiayun.
"They will come back, just not sure when."
Yangyang nodded and suddenly said with a hint of sadness, "The Capital City wonât be lively anymore. You see, Uncle and Aunt left two days ago, now Uncle and Auntie are leaving soon, and even Grandma and Grandpa have set a date to leave. Oh dear, Iâm going to be all alone."
Yang Qingtong and Luo Linyu left for Cangzhou three days after returning home. Firstly, because Yang Qingtong had been away from his post for too long, and secondly, the Prince of Yueluo Kingdom was still in the Capital City, making them feel unsafe staying behind, fearing he might do something bad.
"Smack..." Lele slapped Yangyang on the head, "If you donât know how to use idioms, donât use them, or youâll make a fool of yourself."
"Brother..." Yangyang rubbed his head with both hands, looking very aggrieved.
"Aggrieved for what?" Lele rolled his eyes, "Mom and Dad, me, and the younger siblings are all in the Capital City. How are you alone?"
"Mom, he hit me!" Yangyang turned to Yang Chuxia, which is the real reason behind his grievance, okay?
Yang Chuxia laughed, "You got what you deserved for talking nonsense!"
Yangyangâs face crumpled instantly, "Youâre all bullying me, boo hoo..."
"Second Brother, youâre being so dramatic." Yueyue, who had been keeping her head down, couldnât help but speak up.
"Pfft..." Lele laughed, "Yueyueâs right, you are indeed dramatic."
Yangyang shrugged, "The Capital City is too boring, thereâs no fun without being dramatic."
"..."
Listening to the kids chatting away, Yang Chuxia felt very content, wishing time could just stop right then and there.
Soon the carriage arrived at the State Duke of Defenceâs residence, only to find it in chaos.
"Whatâs going on?"
Yang Chuxia grabbed a servant girl.
"Marchioness, youâre here!" The little maid curtsied and hastily said, "Our madam suddenly fainted, Divine Doctor Mu was called, and he said our madam is pregnant, prescribed some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. I need to quickly go to the front yard to have someone fetch the medicine."
"Pregnant?" Yang Chuxiaâs face was full of joy, "Thatâs great news, hurry on then!"
After the little maid left, Yang Xiayunâs personal maid arrived and led the group inside.
"Cousin, Iâm going to be a dad!" Luo Linhao couldnât help but announce when he saw Yang Chuxia.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Lele, youâre going to have a cousin brother!"
"Yangyang, youâre going to have a cousin brother!"
"..."
Yang Chuxia hurried inside to see Yang Xiayun, while Luo Linhao spread the news outside to all the kids.
Yangyang couldnât help but cover his face and whispered to Lele, "Uncle looks so silly smiling like that."
Lele, wise beyond his years, said, "Wait until you become a dad; youâll laugh just as silly."
"..." Yangyangâs mouth formed an o-shape, wondering what year he would become a dad.
"How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?" Yang Chuxia held her hand and asked, "I heard youâre prescribed pregnancy stabilizing medicine? Is the baby unstable?"
"Thereâs no problem, Iâm fine." Yang Xiayun continued, "The little maid got it wrong. Since weâre leaving the Capital tomorrow, Linhao was worried the bumpy journey might harm the baby, so Big Brother Mu specially prepared the medicine for us, saying to take a bowl if I feel uncomfortable along the way."
