Yan Li came back from duty and learned that Lingshi had been here, so he ordered someone to vacate an empty room to store the things sent by Lingshi.He said to Qi Tanying: "I suspect that Ling Shi has other purposes for returning to Beijing. You must not touch the things she sent."

Qi Tanying couldn't help teasing him when she heard the words, "What's the purpose? You didn't come back just for you, did you?" She smiled, "I'm married to the Lin family to be the wife of the main house, I'm afraid I really have nothing to do with you. Think about it."

Regarding his wife's joke, Yan Li said helplessly: "If it was before, I would still feel that Ling Shi is interested in me. But after nearly a year of monitoring, I found that Ling Shi is not what we see on the surface, her aunt It has ties to Heyuan."

Hearing the word Heyuan, Qi Tanying immediately suppressed her smile and asked, "What does Husband mean, that the Ling family is very likely to belong to King Yu?"

Yan Li nodded.

When he found out that Lingshi and his aunt Cheng Lingshi planned to make money, he sent someone to investigate Cheng Lingshi's past.According to the secret agent's report, Cheng Ling's temper became moody after suffering from a serious illness three years ago.

Except for her nurse who had been serving her since she was a child, all the maids who served her were sold by her.It stands to reason that her behavior like this would arouse suspicion, but no one in the Cheng family has ever said anything. Instead, they said that those maids betrayed the master and ended up like this.

After selling a few maids around him, Cheng Ling's family dealt with some aunts and servants one after another, and finally took the entire Cheng family into his hands. Even the head of the Cheng family, Master Cheng, dared not say anything.

Cheng Ling had no sons and no daughters, and he hated common sons and daughters very much. After Ling went to join her, he treated Ling as his own daughter.After learning about Ling's past, in order to vent her anger for her and to make money, he extended his hand to the Du family.

Yan Li didn't hide the information from the spies from his wife.After Qi Tanying heard this, she had a bold guess in her heart, she said: "Husband, the Cheng Ling family has changed too much before and after, so it must be faked by someone?"

She had seen anecdotes of strange people like makeovers before.

Yan Li glanced at his wife appreciatively, "Atan is smart, that Cheng Lingshi is indeed a fake, the real Cheng Lingshi died of that serious illness long ago."

The fake Cheng Lingshi was very cautious, and the spies watched her for a full year before they discovered that she had a connection with Heyuan.All the money she collected in private was secretly sent to Heyuan, and the connector was none other than Tie Weng, who Mr. Wu told in his confession.

Yan Li suspects that Cheng Ling's purpose of marrying Ling to Master Lin is to use Ling's hand to control the Lin family.Master Lin is an imperial merchant, and his wealth is almost comparable to all wealthy merchants in Anhui and Huai'an.

"oops!"

Yan Li was lost in thought, when his wife's exclamation brought him back to reality.He hurriedly looked at her, only to see that her mouth was slightly open and her eyes were wide open, as if she had encountered something very surprising.

"Husband, child, child, he (she)"

Before she finished speaking, Yan Li interrupted her anxiously, "What's wrong with the child? Are you feeling sick to your stomach?"

Qi Tanying shook her head, "I'm fine, it's just that the child just kicked me."

After hearing this, Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief.

The big hand gently covered his wife's raised belly, and suddenly, the palm of the hand was pushed.He burst out laughing, "Little naughty kicked me too."

Qi Tanying looked at him amusedly, Yan Li changed the position covered by the palm again, and was pushed again the next moment.

It was the first time that Yan Li found the fetal movement so interesting, and he felt a little regretful that he didn't catch up with the baby's first fetal movement.At this moment, the child is just awake, so he (she) enjoys playing with him (her).

After playing for a while, Qi Tanying stopped him and said, "Okay, stop teasing him (her)."

Reluctantly, Yan Li moved his palm away, put his face on his wife's lower abdomen, and said softly: "Son, you are well in Mother's stomach. When you come out, Daddy will take you to shoot arrows and ride a big horse."

Qi Tanying immediately lost her smile when she heard the words, "Are you so sure that he (she) is a son? If it's a daughter, you don't like it anymore?"

"Why?" Yan Li was afraid that his wife would misunderstand that he was patriarchal, so he quickly explained, "Whether it is a son or a daughter, as long as it is our child, I like it."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Yan Li said again: "A Tan, don't worry too much, I don't mean anything else by saying this."

He took Qi Tanying's hand, and said seriously: "If our first child is a son, first, it will put my mother and mother-in-law at ease, and no one will trouble your son and heir; second, I want our daughter to have a brother who loves and protects her."

He hoped that their daughter would be a delicate and soft little girl, under the care of her parents and elder brother, to grow up carefree and carefree, instead of always worrying about the people around her like her aunt .

"So that's the case." Qi Tanying smiled, "Actually, I don't care whether the first child is a boy or a girl, whether it's a son or a daughter, it's all the flesh that fell from me, and I will treat them equally. "

She doesn't agree with Yan Li's views on raising daughters, "This world is unfair to women. If you blindly pamper her and cultivate her innocent temperament, and don't know that people's hearts are sinister, she will suffer in the end."

Doesn't their Qi family have a ready-made example?Lian's sister-in-law is the only daughter of the Lian family. She has an elder brother and a younger brother. She was cherished by her parents and loved by her brothers since she was a child. When she grew up, she married her childhood sweetheart as she wished.

But once the family was ruined and the husband died early, he could only be forced to adopt a step-son to continue the incense for the husband. After raising the heir, he was deprived of the dowry and family property, and ended up homeless.

However, Yan Li felt that the fact that Sister-in-law Lian was in such a state is that the Lian family has no power in the final analysis. If it were his daughter, he would definitely be considerate of her and would never let her step into Sister-in-law Lian's life. follow suit.

Just when the husband and wife were stuck in a stalemate over raising their daughter, Qi Tanying felt the child move again.She glanced at her husband, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This child has not yet been born, and it is not known whether it is a boy or a girl. It is too early for us to argue about it here."

Yan Li said solemnly: "We have never raised a child before, and we need to learn experience earlier, so that the child will not understand anything after birth, and make people laugh."

Her words reminded Qi Tanying, she said: "A few days ago, my mother asked someone to find a few wet nurses and two midwives. When you rest, come back with me to have a look."

I should have told him about this a long time ago, but she had a bad memory after she became pregnant, so she never remembered it.

Yan Li thought for a while and said, "Let's go tomorrow." There is no urgent case at Dali Temple, so he can take half a day off.
