Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls

Chapter 492: Zhao Geng Nian

Xue Cong glanced at Yue Xin, inspecting carefully from head to toe.

Thankfully, Yue Xin was looking healthy and vibrant as usual. Which means that the physician was here for something else.

Her guess was confirmed with Yue Jie handing her a piece of paper.

"What’s this?" She asked and had a glance at what was written on the paper.

By now, she was able to recognize most of the characters written on it and she could see that it was a prescription of some sort.

Yue Jie nodded at her with a smile and said, "It’s for stabilizing the child."

"Stabilizing the child?!"

Xue Cong’s eyes and mouth opened wide and she remained so for a few moments before she went back to normal.

She glanced back at Yue Xin and held onto Yue Xin’s hands.

"Is it true?"

"Yes..." Yue Xin nodded at her and Xue Cong patted the back of Yue Xin’s hand.

"You should have told me earlier so I could make arrangements for you." Xue Cong said and Yue Xin replied, "I wasn’t sure earlier."

Xue Cong nodded her head and asked, "Does Xuan Qi know?"

Yue Xin shook her head.

"Then, I’ll let you have the honor to do so." She said with a smile and glanced over at Yue Jie.

"I think we can get the herbs that were prescribed with added meals for her." Xue Cong thought for a moment before she added on, "Maybe we should also look into getting a nanny to help?"

Yue Jie shook her head and smiled at Xue Cong.

"It might be too soon. From what I heard, most of the symptoms might not appear until the third month."

"Yeah, right." It was something that Xue Cong wasn’t knowledgeable about and she thought that she might have to ask for help from her mother.

"I will ask my mother to try and help whenever she can."

"That’s... Thanks." Yue Jie thanked her and poured a cup of tea for her.

So far, from what she had seen with Xue Cong’s reaction, it was still the Xue Cong that she knew.

The news of Yue Xin bearing a child for Lin Xuan Qi didn’t affect her much.

And Xue Cong also assured her of it.

"Don’t worry. I would treat the child as my own and care for the child like it was mine." She had a sip of the tea and the three of them went on to chat through the night while they waited for Lin Xuan Qi to return.

...

Meanwhile, in the formerly Lee Zhen Ren’s residence, things were very much different now.

When Lin Xuan Qi arrived, the whole place gave him an uneasy aura.

It was as if his skin was constantly probed by the tips of invisible swords.

The walls of the residence were now pristine white and the plaque that hung over the gates was now different.

It had a black background with gold-plated words ’Qing Feng Geng Nian’ written on it.

The guards standing in front of the gates were disciples wearing the signature cultivation robes of the Qing Feng Sect with swords in their hands.

One of them cupped his hands at Lin Xuan Qi and asked when Lin Xuan Qi walked up to them, "Welcome, may I see your invitation letter?"

"Here." Lin Xuan Qi took out the invitation letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it over to the guard.

"Thanks, Master Lin. The dinner is starting soon, please take your seat inside the garden." The guard said and gestured with his hand to the left of the residence.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and thought that these guards were much more polite than Xiao Feng.

Along the way, he saw that there were many Qing Feng Sect disciples standing on guard along the corridors and open areas.

He wasn’t sure if it was a deliberate show of force to the other Clans and Families in Hong Feng City or if Zhao Geng Nian was someone who was much more careful than Ruo Zhi.

"Brother Xuan Qi!" Someone called out to him from afar and took him out of his thoughts.

It was Sima Long and he walked towards Sima Long and joined him at the table.

Sima Ye, Liu Shao and Hun Xiong Kun were also at the table with some other masters from the Clans and Families in Hong Feng City.

"What took you so long." Sima Long said while he poured a cup of wine for him.

Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at the others at the table before he sat next to Sima Long.

And after he did so, he gave a glance at Sima Ye in silence.

Sima Ye didn’t say much, nodded back at him and went back to his drinking.

No words were exchanged but both of them were aware of what Zhao Geng Nian might be up to.

Lin Xuan Qi had some drinks with Sima Long and chatted with him for a while before he proceeded with his other objective at the dinner.

"Since we are waiting, let’s discuss the business venture I’ve talked to you about earlier."

"Sure! I’m more than ready to join as a franchisee." Sima Long replied and downed the cup of wine he had in one mouthful.

Liu Shao glanced at Sima Long with a worried expression and asked, "Are you sure about it? What if it doesn’t make any money?"

"How could it be? I have faith in brother Xuan Qi." Sima Long said and patted Lin Xuan Qi on his back.

Lin Xuan Qi gave him a smile and said, "You flatter me. Master Liu Shao is right, you better consider it carefully."

Sima Long had to pinch his thigh to stop himself from laughing out loud but the show was still going on and he better not spoil his acting for brother Lin Xuan Qi.

He raised the wine cup in his hand and began his speech which Lin Xuan Qi had told him to make previously.
