I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

Chapter 146 Can Walk Upright

After some thought, He Tingxi made a decision.

"Should we wait until Xiyue gives birth to the child before dealing with Madam He? Xiyue's health is more important."

Time always passes quietly, and February 14th came in a blink of an eye.

At the hour of Xu, He Tingxi went to Ling Xiyue's room on crutches.

At that time, Ling Xiyue was already in bed, but she did not lie down. Instead, she sat with her back against the headboard, carefully studying the baby's clothes, with a motherly smile on her face.

He Tingxi closed the door, put his crutches beside the door, walked straight to the bed and sat down.

Seeing a lot of baby clothes on the quilt, he asked with a smile: "Why are you researching children's clothes?"

"The nanny and the others brought it over this afternoon, saying that they should prepare it in advance. It was the first time I saw such small clothes, and I thought it was very interesting, so I took it out to study it." After Ling Xiyue glanced at He Tingxi, she continued to study the clothes with her head down.

"Really?" He Tingxi also picked up a piece of clothing, opened it and took a look.

"It's really small. This is the first time I've seen it."

He Tingxi's eyes sparkled, and he was full of curiosity about the clothes. He continued, "Tell me, how small must a newborn baby be to fit into these small clothes?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiyue looked at the small clothes in He Tingxi's hand and said with a smile: "I don't know how much the newborn baby weighs. Nanny said that a normal baby weighs about five or six pounds. I wonder how big five or six pounds is?"

"I don't know either. But soon, we will be able to see our child. I am really looking forward to it." He Tingxi's eyes were full of anticipation.

"There are still about two and a half months left. Sometimes I think it seems quite long." Ling Xiyue suddenly sighed.

"Don't think too much, just let it go." He Tingxi soothed.

Then he put down the clothes in his hands and tidied up all the clothes on the quilt.

"It's getting late. Let's study it tomorrow. Don't rest too late."

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue had no choice but to put the clothes in her hand into He Tingxi's hand.

"Ok."

He Tingxi then stood up and put the clothes into the closet.

Ling Xiyue waited for He Tingxi to come over before she lay down.

After taking off his coat and shoes, He Tingxi got on the bed, lay beside Ling Xiyue, and looked at Ling Xiyue sideways.

"Xiyue, I have something to tell you. Tomorrow, in front of everyone in the mansion, I will get rid of the crutches in my hands and walk independently."

"Really? It's been half a month?" Ling Xiyue heard the words and looked sideways at He Tingxi, saying excitedly.

"It's been half a month. It's time to walk independently." He Tingxi nodded.

"That's great. It makes me happy just thinking that I can walk side by side with you in the future." Ling Xiyue said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, He Tingxi was stunned and a little surprised.

"You want to walk with me?"

"Well, is there a problem?" Ling Xiyue looked confused.

"Are you sure we're standing side by side? Aren't you just taller than my shoulders?" He Tingxi said seriously.

Ling Xiyue was left speechless by He Tingxi's words.

"I meant walking together. Who told you about height?" Ling Xiyue said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Oh, that's what you mean." He Tingxi looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"That's what I mean." Ling Xiyue nodded.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it too." He Tingxi said with a smile.

"I really hope tomorrow will come sooner." Ling Xiyue is already looking forward to tomorrow.

"Well, go to bed. It's getting late." He Tingxi advised.

"it is good."

The next day, in front of everyone in the mansion, He Tingxi finally "got rid of" the crutches in his hands and was able to walk independently, but he walked more slowly.

Jian Ye Shen and Ling Xiyue accompanied him throughout the trip.

This news soon spread to the palace, and the emperor, the empress dowager and others were very happy.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager took into consideration that there would be a happy event to be held in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so they scheduled a banquet to celebrate He Tingxi's recovery from his leg illness on the tenth day of March.

Thinking about it, He Tingxi had recovered for nearly a month by then, and he must be walking smoothly.

After He Tingxi learned about it, he agreed to the banquet date.

Soon it was February 18th.

Mr. Li, the boss of Yi Fu Jewelry Store, went to Ling Mansion in person with the finished earrings.

Madam He personally entertained him and sent away all the maids, leaving only Yu Duo by her side.

Boss Li handed the wooden box containing the earrings to Mrs. He.

"Mrs. He, please take a look."

"it is good."

After Mrs. He took it, she opened the box, took out the earrings, and studied them carefully. Not only did she look at them carefully, she also picked them up and smelled them, but she did not find anything unusual.

"Very good, very perfect, there is nothing unusual at all, Boss Li, great craftsmanship."

After Mrs. He said this, she put the earrings back into the box, closed it, and held it in her hand.

"Thank you for your praise, Mrs. He. I hope you will take care of me in the future." Boss Li responded politely.

"No problem." Mrs. He smiled, then looked at Yu Duo and gave her a wink.

Yu Duo understood immediately. She walked into the inner room and found two silver bills in the cabinet. After coming out, she handed them directly to Boss Li.

"Boss Li, please take a look. There are two of them. One of them is a silver note for one thousand taels and is a reward for you." Mrs. He said with a smile when she saw this.

Boss Li took the banknotes and looked at them carefully. There were two of them, one worth one thousand taels and the other one worth one hundred taels. After confirming the amount, he folded the banknotes and put them in his arms with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Madam He, for the reward." Boss Li stood up and bowed to Madam He.

"In the future, if there is a chance to cooperate again, Boss Li will naturally be involved in the benefits." Mrs. He still said with a smile.

"Yes, Madam He, please just give me your instructions." Boss Li said respectfully.

"Yes. Okay, I won't keep Boss Li here. Yu Duo will see him off." Mrs. He looked at Yu Duo.

"Mrs. He, I'm leaving."

"Yes."

Yu Duo agreed and sent Boss Li away from Ling Mansion.

After seeing Boss Li leave, Mrs. He opened the box again, took out the earrings and studied them carefully. At this moment, there was a hint of evil in her eyes.

Boss Li walked out of the Ling Mansion happily and got on his carriage.

When the carriage reached an uninhabited alley, it suddenly braked, startling Boss Li. He angrily yelled, "What's going on? How do you drive a carriage?"

After Boss Li finished cursing, he waited for a while. When he saw no response from the driver, he felt something was wrong and spoke while lifting the curtain of the carriage.

"I'm asking you a question. Why..."

At this point, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes. Before Boss Li could react, he was knocked unconscious by the black shadow...

When Boss Li slowly opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground. He slowly got up and looked around, but the surrounding environment made him dumbfounded.

He was in a secret room with walls on all sides. There were only two lights in the huge room, making it particularly dim.

The longer he stayed there, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but make a sound.

"Where is this place? Who is it? Who brought me here? Who is it?"
