55 Chapter 52

"Brother you are the second shameless man I know."

"I am not." Qi Ming shocked by what Xiuying said, he isn't shameless he is just honest. He knows that the ladies in the capital ranked him second only to Jun Wang. At first he was irked being a subject to such listing but then again he knows that he is indeed handsome. Qi Ming despite being a vice general always gives a vibe of a scholar, his built isn't like those muscle head batch commonly seen in the army but he is strong enough to fight up to ten people at once during a battle.

"You are." Xiuying smirked as she tease his brother.

"Not."

"Ye.. mmpf!" Qi Ming stopped Xiuying by stuffing a macaron in her mouth.

"There! Just eat some more 'lil piggy, that mouth of yours is too young to tease this big brother!" Qi Ming put another macaron in his sister's mouth upon noticing that she is about to rebutt before laughing out loud. Xue and Xiao Hua can't help but chuckle looking at the face of their young miss that almost resembles a hamster with bulging cheeks.

Xiuying can only glare at her brother as she can't spit out her favorite macarons.

Meanwhile in the emperor's study, Emperor Zhao have been worried about the situation in the South. The rebels' attacks seems more organized this time as they either stole or burn the granaries resulting to more citizens there to die due to hunger. Even the help sent there has been robbed on the way and the people he first assigned there were killed not even children and women were spared.

"Has Jun Want set off to South?"

Eunuch Li placed the tea on the table before speaking. "Yes, Your Majesty. Also Jun Wang said that you should not worry too much."

"That brat... Li, you have been with us since we were small. You know how I always worry of that brother of mine although I am the older one but I am the one being protected."

"Your Majesty, your presence alone makes Jun Wang to have less worries and he also knows that you also protect him and his love ones in your own way."

"Is that so..."

In Long Fu, every servant is busy working on their tasks. Qi Fan's loud scream as she gives birth to the first great grandson while Long Guanting is outside waiting together with his parents. Although Patriach Long didn't like Qi Fan knowing that he will be able to see his great grandson still excites him thus he have a servant running back and forth from Qi Fan's courtyard to his study every hour.

After four hours a loud cry from a baby is heard from the bedchamber. Long Guanting immediately stands upon seeing the midwife approach him while holding a bundle. He can see the tiny hands of his child.

"Congratulations Young Master Long, First Master and Madam, it is a healthy boy!" The midwife happily declare the child's gender knowing that she will be awarded heavily.

"That is great! Oh my he looks like you my son!" First Madam Long grinned widely as she looks at her grandson and Guanting who is now carefully holding the baby.

"Good job Ting'er! Our Long Fu is indeed blessed, housekeeper give the servants their rewards and double it for the midwives!" Guanting's father pat his son's shoulder before looking at the housekeeper as he rewarded everyone.

"Thank you First Master and Madam! Congratulations Young Master!"

Upon hearing that Qi Fan safely delivered her child, Long Yue looked at her maidservant who is kneeling in front of her, trembling in fear.

"Didn't I instructed you to make sure she will lose her child!"

"I did young miss, our people made sure to deliver the tea with safflower and even saw her drink them happily."

Long Yue throw the teacup she is holding in anger to head of the servant, blood slowly flow from the servant's head.

"Then why?! Why is able to have a safe delivery!"

"We don't know young miss..."

"Wan'er you know what to do with this trash!" Yue instructed her most trusted maidservant who looks at the male servants stationed at the door. They drag the kneeling servants away from their young miss while another two maidservants started cleaning the blood on the floor and broken teacup, their faces shows that it is a normal occurrence in Long Yue's courtyard.

After seeing that the room has been cleaned Wan'er instructed for the servants to leave, before entering the bedchamber of her young miss.

"Someone is spying on us Wan'er and I don't like the feeling of not knowing who is hindering my plans."

"I will look into it Young Miss." Wan bowed pleading for Yue's leniency. She have been serving Long Yue and grew up together, she saw how her once sweet and innocent young miss changed to a vengeful person. Patriach Long despite being a righteous official didn't know how filthy his own family is and Long Yue's position as the first young miss of Long Fu didn't prevent her from being harmed.
