Chapter 17: Each with Their Own Thoughts

  The news of Su Niang's pregnancy was like a drop of water in a boiling pot of oil, instantly causing an explosion throughout the Qin Manor. Although the Qin family had three young masters, they were still somewhat thin in the eyes of ancient people who valued descendants. Now that Su Niang was pregnant, although it wasn't certain whether it would be a son, there was still great hope, and for this one-in-two chance of giving birth to a son, the relationships between the various courtyards of the Qin Manor also became subtle.

  Fang Wanru was still resentful, but she had a few threads of rationality left. Even if she gave birth to a son, what would it change? She, Fang Wanru, was the one who had been married into the Qin family with great fanfare, carried in on a sedan chair, and was the rightful mistress of the household. Even if Master Qin's heart wasn't with her, she still had Old Madam as her ally, and even if Old Madam didn't intervene, she still had Zi Cheng.

  It's okay, thinking of this made Fang Wanru's eyes brighten up, and she felt like she saw hope. The eldest son of the Qin family, the legitimate eldest son, was her son, Fang Wanru's son. Later on, if Su Yilan had a son, even if Qin Dai Xin married into the Jia family, what could be done about it?

  There are many people in this mansion who worry about their status being insecure, and it's not worth hurting themselves like this. It's likely that someone is already getting impatient. Thinking of this, Fang Wanru couldn't help but smile...

  As Fang Wanru said, someone in the Qin Mansion can't sit still. At this moment, it's already the tenth hour, and it should be quiet at night, but on the west side of the Qin Mansion, a small courtyard is brightly lit, and the figures moving back and forth inside the main house are faintly visible.

  Li was anxious and uneasy since she heard that Su had become pregnant. The little maid who came to report the news made her so angry that she didn't even eat dinner. Why? Where was she inferior to the old and faded Su? When she gave birth, she hadn't seen the old master being so attentive and nervous. Now Su was just pregnant, and he was already so anxious, not to mention chapter 17, she couldn't help but feel a little eager to try. Qin Dai's sensitive soul dodged the guard at the door who was dozing off, her body slightly lowered, her footsteps as light as a cat in the middle of the night, and she quickly slipped under the big tree. She looked up at the tall willow tree above the roof, and her hand pressed towards the "Black Beauty" at her waist.

  Hei Mei Ren is the name Qin Dai Xin gave to the mysterious iron box, she thinks that even cold weapons have their own unique beauty. This icy black iron, although it looks like it's emitting a chilling aura that warns people to stay away, in Qin Dai Xin's eyes, it's her most trusted partner.

  The black beauty gathered momentum, waiting to be unleashed. All that could be heard was the faint sound of a mechanism responding, and a flash of cold light appeared. Immediately following, the mysterious iron thread seemed to have gained spiritual energy, rapidly nailing itself into the trunk of the tree. Qin Dai borrowed the force to leap, using the black beauty's explosive force to successfully fly onto the rooftop.

  If she hadn't been unable to expose herself, she really wanted to whistle in admiration, this feeling was too wonderful, more incredible than the steel wire used for filming, her black beauty was alive.

  With great difficulty, Qin Dai finally pulled back her thoughts and triggered another mechanism, retracting the Xuan Tie silk. After calculating the layout of the house, she carefully walked on the narrow rooftop, carrying a breath, her footsteps lighter than when walking on flat ground. She finally arrived safely and silently at the top of Gong Sun Jin's bedroom.

  Qin Dai Xin followed the previous plan, carefully lifting a few tiles on the roof, only to see the candlelight swaying inside, it was clear that the people inside had not slept yet. Listening carefully, she could hear two voices talking, although they were very soft, apparently intentionally lowering their voices for fear of being heard. However, in such a quiet night, Qin Dai Xin still heard them clearly.

  "It's good that you know this, don't tell a second person, if you still want to get your hands on that girl, you have to listen to me." Although the voice was low and husky, it couldn't hide the arrogance revealed in the words, just from this, Qin Dai knew that this must be her cheap aunt Qin Fengge.

  "Mother, is what you said true? Is the Su family really having a child?" Gong Sun Jin asked with some disbelief. The ones speaking in hushed tones inside the house were Qin Feng Ge and her only son, Gong Sun Jin.

  "How can this be fake? It's already spread throughout the government offices. I sent a letter to your aunt through someone, and when they came back, they said it was true, so how can it be fake?"

  Gongsun Jin hastily said, "If it's like this, she will definitely rely on this to beg Grandma, at that time this small front courtyard will probably be unable to keep her, where will there still be an opportunity to make a move?"

  "This 'she' naturally refers to the one on the roof."

  Qin Fengge smiled and patted his hand lovingly, comforting him: "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements for you. I've instructed your aunt in the letter, so just rest assured!"

  Gongsun Jin's face revealed a rare smile, and he coquettishly said: "Mother, in the past when I had someone in mind, you wouldn't let me bring them into the manor. Why did you agree this time with Dai Xin?"

  Qin Fengsong smiled and said, "Foolish child, the ones you liked before were just temporary playthings. Only your third sister is someone you've truly liked since childhood. After all, our two families are also relatives. Rather than marrying into another family to be a concubine and suffer, why not marry into our own family? I can still take care of her." Although she said this with a straight face, the person on the roof knew that things were probably not so simple.

  Qin Fengge had her own plans, but these things were not easy to discuss with her son. When she first received the news of Su's pregnancy, she was furious, but upon further reflection, what could be done? If she could scheme against Su once, she could do it again and again, not only would Su be unable to turn the tables, but even her daughter would also fall into her own hands.

  "All right, it's getting late too. I'll let your mother rest now. You just rest well and recover from your injuries in a few days. Then we'll go back to the mansion first and discuss with your grandmother."

  Gongsun Jin responded with a sound, got up and sent off Qin Fengge. Although he couldn't see the situation inside the house, Qin Dai's heart heard it very clearly. He put the tiles back in their original place one by one and jumped down from the roof.
