The vermilion pillars and cyan tiled roof—in the eyes of professionals like Shang Xi, even though the pavilion was hastily built, it was still a leader in the pavilion world. Every pillar and tile showed the owner's grandeur and generosity.

A cool autumn breeze blew by, and the bells hanging on the eaves of the pavilion made a crisp sound, attracting Shang Xi's attention.

Shang Xi looked up at the string of exquisite bells and couldn't help but admire: "Uncle Ge really cares about Fu Liu. The bells on this pavilion are all made of gold."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up, and Yuhua's mouth opened the widest. Having followed Shang Xi for so many years, she had seen a lot of the world, but she still couldn't change her habit of making a fuss when she saw something incredible.

"Is this thing made of gold?"

Shang Xi nodded. Her hearing was not very good, but her eyesight was not bad. This was definitely the Golden Bell.

Yuhua sighed, her expression unsophisticated. "Oh my god, is this what it means to spend a fortune on a beautiful woman? This thing is made of gold, what a waste! Oh, you say, aren't you afraid of it being stolen?"

Everyone was absorbed in Ge Dongqing's devotion and sincerity towards Fu Liu. Only Yuhua, who had endured hardship, worried about whether the bells would be safe hanging there. Who could enter the Ge Mansion just to pick a string of bells? Yuhua, who loved to worry, always spent her time fretting over these matters.

No matter how much she tried to endure it, Shang Xi could still see the hatred in Lu Si Niang's eyes. This person was just pretending to be indifferent to maintain her dignity and self-respect as the mistress of the house.

Shang Xi said to Yuhua, "Don't make a fuss. Fu Liu is pregnant now, so it's not surprising that Uncle Ge prefers her. But this is a good place. In front, you can see the houses and courtyards of the Ge Mansion, and in the back, you can see the entire lake. The garden of the mansion is right below it. It's a good place to relax."

Yuhua's thoughts were easily distracted. After hearing Shang Xi's words, she also observed the surroundings. "Shang Xi, you're right, this place is really nice. There are flowers and grass, and the locust trees are strong and tall. It would be even better if the lake was a little bigger. Hey? Who is that person on the boat on the lake?"

Lian Er said unhappily, "She's so ostentatious, it must be that unruly concubine in the mansion."

Yuhua opened her mouth again. The distance was neither far nor close. It was not easy to see Fuliu's face clearly. "Is her face healed?"

Lian Er breathed through her nose and cursed, "So what if she's better? She's still an ugly freak. Chun Er and I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted that day. We should have disfigured her directly. She won't be able to show off anymore."

Looking at the small boat floating on the lake, Yuhua clicked her tongue. "She really knows how to enjoy herself. She's drinking on the boat, isn't she? How carefree! She's like a phoenix that has flown to a tree and become a phoenix. She doesn't have to do anything. She can just cruise the lake and drink all day long. How happy she is."

Furong, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up. She said pointedly, "It's autumn, and it's morning. The lake water must be pretty cold at this time of year. Can a pregnant woman put her feet in cold water? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Lian Er gnashed her teeth and continued to curse: "What's there to be afraid of if you catch a cold? It would be better if you die."

Yuhua had damaged her eyes from crying some time ago, and her eyesight was not as good as before. She looked carefully and said in surprise, "It really is, those two white feet are kicking the water."

Furong then said pointedly, "How many pregnant women drink alcohol? Is alcohol good for the fetus?"

Yuhua suddenly realized and wanted to slap her thigh, "Oh, it's true, this Fu Liu really doesn't know how to take care of her body. It's okay for her to eat both meat and vegetables, but the baby in her belly can't stand it! Won't this cause miscarriage?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Siniang knew Fu Liu's behavior was definitely not good for the fetus, so she immediately said to Lian'er, "Tell her my message and ask her to come ashore immediately. And warn her not to drink alcohol until the baby is born."

Lian Er pursed her lips and said maliciously, "Madam, why do you have to feel sorry for her? Why give her this warning? Just let her be so ignorant and harm the baby in her belly."

Lu Siniang was broad-minded and had a clear purpose. "Do I feel sorry for her? The child in her belly is your master's. Your master is counting on the child in her belly to continue the Ge family's incense. If the abortion is aborted, it will be your master who will suffer the loss. Go and call them up!"

Lian'er walked towards the lake reluctantly, and then explained her purpose to the master and servant on the lake.

Fu Liu, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, not only did not let the servants turn the boat around, but instead slapped the water with her feet even more vigorously, creating bigger splashes in protest.

Seeing her master's behavior, Chan'er immediately understood. She raised her head and shouted at Lian'er on the shore, "The master had someone build this boat for my young lady, and the master also bought this wine for her. Stop meddling in other people's business."

Lian'er raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. Their resistance was exactly what she wanted. But she cursed, "You ungrateful people! Do you think the Madam is willing to take care of you? You drink too much and play in the water too much. No one will care about you even if you drink yourself to death or drown. So go ahead and kill yourself."

Lian'er ran briskly towards the pavilion with a smile on her face. "Madam, you heard it, didn't you? They didn't listen at all and even scolded you for meddling in their affairs. Such ungrateful people must be allowed to seek death."

Lu Siniang's face was slightly stern. Her posture and aura showed that she was the mistress of the house. She cast a deep glance at the small boat on the lake, then said to the people present, "Excuse me, I have to get the people ashore myself."

No one said a word, only Furong grabbed Lu Si Niang's wrist and said, "Si Niang, I don't want to watch."

Furong never meddles in other people's affairs, and you never hear gossip from her mouth. However, her action today has made everyone suspicious.

Lu Siniang asked Furong, "Did you see anything?"

Furong said, "According to the date, the baby in Fuliu's belly should be four months old, but you see her waist is even thinner than those of you who haven't given birth."

Lu Siniang frowned: "You mean she is not pregnant."

"I have already given birth to one child, and the baby in my belly will be born after this year. I can't be sure if a woman is one or two months pregnant, but I can still tell if she is four months pregnant." Furong's meaning was very straightforward. She was right. Fu Liu was not pregnant.

At this time, Furong looked at Shang Xi again: "Shang Xi, you have also given birth, do you think her figure looks like that of a four-month pregnant woman?"

Shang Xi held up his elbows, pinched his chin with one hand, and looked carefully at the woman in the boat on the lake. Shang Xi was straightforward, but never spoke nonsense.
