Lee Heng returned to the palace with some doubts. He called over the Eastern Palace Head to inquire about the movements in the palace today, and upon learning that the empress was safely recuperating in the palace, he personally went to visit her. The imperial concubine was furious when she said that she wasn't feeling well, so she sent someone to call the emperor along the way.

Lee Heng gritted his teeth and asked the director, ”How many months does that woman have to give birth?”

”About a month more. According to the imperial physicians, the imperial concubine will be giving birth around the new year.”

Lee Heng snorted coldly: ”But she got pregnant with a boy on her own. So what if she is? She doesn't forget that she is thirteen years old. She will be in politics in three years!”

”Your Highness, you mustn't say such words. No matter what, the prince born of the imperial concubine is still your brother!”

”Brother?” Lee Heng's expression became increasingly cold. Since he was born in the emperor's family, how could he have brotherly feelings? He had long since heard of the fight between father and Grand Princess. The siblings who had grown up together were actually like this, and the younger brothers who were half-brothers could be counted as brothers?

Fortunately, his mother was pregnant. If he could have an interesting sister like Little Nine, he would definitely give her the best things in the world and make her the happiest princess in the kingdom.

After Mo Family had seen off the guests, the old man and the old lady discussed for a long time before he called over Mo Taiwen and his wife and said: ”There's something I need to tell you two.”

Mo Taiwen and Xu Jingniang looked at each other, not knowing what the old man and the old lady wanted to say, they were both at a loss. The old man said in a deep voice: ”We discussed it and are preparing to move back to the residence.”

Mo Taiwen panicked. She's living well, why did she suddenly move back?

Xu Jingniang also asked, ”Eunuch, mother-in-law, how can I serve inconsiderate? It's almost the end of the month, why are you moving away? ”

The madame smiled and patted Xu Jingniang's hand. ”It's not what you think. You don't understand what this old man means. He wants you to move back to the residence with us!”

Mo Taiwen was stunned, while Xu Jingniang also widened her eyes in shock. The Old Master wanted them to return to Mansion of State Duke? Did he forgive Mo Taiwen and let him go back to his home?

Looking at the stupefied Mo Taiwen, Xu Jingniang couldn't help but clench his hand with a comforting smile. After a while, Mo Taiwen stammered at the old man, ”Dad, are you serious?”

The old tutor said exasperatedly, ”When have I ever lied? ”Alright, let's cut the crap. Tomorrow, I will start packing up my things and move as fast as I can. Oh right, pack up Little Nine's things first so that the mansion can arrange an identical room in advance so that Little Nine won't be uncomfortable.”

Xu Jingniang quickly replied. It was funny, yet her heart ached at the same time as she looked at Mo Taiwen, who was in a daze.
