First, he cupped his fists at Xue Yan, the grandson of the Crown Prince, as a form of apology. Then, he stood up and walked out in large strides, blocking his second son who was about to enter the dining room at the door. “Stinky brat, come with me!”

With that, Duke Shao walked around his second son and left the dining room.

Before Shao Zhongxi could turn around and leave with his father, the High Duke’s wife stood up and apologized. Then, she walked out and chased after her master. “It’s not his fault. It’s me.”

“You?” High Duke Shao immediately stopped and turned around.

The High Duke’s wife nodded and then walked into the courtyard. The husband and wife started talking in the courtyard.

Shao Zhongxi naturally went over as well.

They did not deliberately lower their voices. Jiang Yue and the others in the dining room could easily hear them.

Duke Shao said angrily, “Qi Yin is obviously pregnant. She’s been following your good son around every day. The child must be his! How could it not be his business? Don’t take responsibility for everything just because he’s your son! It’s also me, I usually only care about myself, and I’m careless, so I didn’t notice him and Qi Yin being that way!”

“No, it’s really me.” The High Duke’s wife said. “Qi Yin was pregnant once before. I made her drink the abortion medicine and aborted the child.”

“You’re crazy!” Duke Shao could not believe it. “Don’t you know that your son has refused to get married for so many years? When have I ever held back from scolding him? Let him get married, have someone give birth to children for him, and let him have a small family of his own. Don’t you see how old he is? Are you going to let him stay in this family alone for the rest of his life?”

In the room, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu did not expect the wife of the High Duke to abort Qi Yin and Shao Zhongxi’s child.

Shao Boqi smiled awkwardly.

Outside the house, in the courtyard, Shao Zhongxi did not say a word. He was still as cold as ever.

The Duke’s wife was not annoyed by her husband’s words. However, when she saw her second son’s reaction, she sighed and said, “Don’t be angry. Listen to what I have to say first. Qi Yin has a constitution that makes it difficult for her to get pregnant.”

Before she could finish speaking, Duke Shao became even angrier. “Then why did you make her drink abortion medicine?!”

“Listen to me.” The Duke’s wife was very helpless. Her husband’s temper had always been bad, but he was a good person at heart. For so many years, he had never been angry with her and had always followed her wishes. Basically, she was the one who made the decisions in the family. Only today did he throw such a big tantrum at her.

However, there was a reason for this, so she understood.

After a while of consoling her husband, only then did Duke Shao suppress his anger.

The Duke’s wife then continued, “It’s not easy for her to get pregnant. However, when she did, the doctor told me that she would have a miscarriage sooner or later and that it would be better to abort it early. Otherwise, it would be more harmful to her body if she had to abort the baby at a later time. No matter how cruel I was, if my grandson could be born, I would have let her have it. I wouldn’t have made someone brew abortion medicine and forced her to drink it early.”

Duke Shao’s anger immediately dissipated when he heard this.

The High Duke’s wife continued, “However, I am indeed to blame for this. At that time, Boqi had just been conferred the title of King, and his wife was the Princess Consort. His wife was no longer of the right background. You also know what our eldest daughter-in-law is like. I did not want my second daughter-in-law to be from a small family. If that were the case, would the family still be at peace?”

After a pause, the High Duke’s wife continued. “At that time, you were not in the capital city. You were in the military camp. Zhongxi suddenly came back and told me that he had already privately proposed to Qi Yin and that she was pregnant with his child.”
