"Lingling, have you had breakfast?" Xu Miaoyu's face didn't look very good. When she saw Su Yunling coming, she immediately touched the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Su Yunling went over and helped her sit down under the magnolia tree in the yard.

"It's okay. I've been feeling a little upset these past few days. It might be because I didn't get enough rest." Xu Miaoyu reassured her.

Su Yunling's eyes lit up, as if she had sensed something, "Let me feel your pulse."

She placed her hand on Xu Miaoyu's slender wrist, pressing gently to feel the changes in her pulse.

Xu Miaoyu saw her frowning and relaxing from time to time, and felt inexplicably nervous.

"How is it?"

Su Yunling's eyes suddenly lit up, and an excited smile appeared on the corners of her lips, "Cousin, you are pregnant."

"What...what?" Xu Miaoyu was stunned.

She is pregnant, how is this possible?

"Cousin, don't you trust my medical skills?" Su Yunling pretended to be displeased.

Even if her medical skills are not good, her luck is real.

Xu Miaoyu's lips opened and closed but she couldn't say a word. She was too excited.

All the bitterness and humiliation that I had felt in my heart for many years turned into sour tears that flowed out of my eyes.

She was actually able to get pregnant. She was not sick and was a normal woman.

She cried and then started laughing.

But as I laughed, I started crying again.

Thinking that the person she once loved had a child with someone else, she felt like a stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Cousin, do you want to forgive him? Like other women, ignore your husband's betrayal, regard it as human nature, and then swallow your grievances and continue to live with him for the rest of your life?"

"Lingling, if it were you, what would you do?" Xu Miaoyu stroked her belly gently and asked Su Yunling sincerely.

Su Yunling tilted his head and thought seriously, "If it were me, I would kill the father and keep the son without hesitation."

This was the first time Xu Miaoyu heard the term "killing the father and keeping the son".

She felt it was fresh and at the same time, shocked.

“Is it really possible for a woman to live alone with a child?”

"Others may not be able to do this, but cousin, as long as you take the first step bravely, your nephew still has me, your aunt, and the entire Xu family to rely on, so you must not wrong yourself."

Although Su Yunling's words could not completely dispel Xu Miaoyu's concerns, they gave her warm comfort.

During lunch, Xu Miaoyu told her grandmother and mother the news of her pregnancy.

To be on the safe side, the Lu family found a doctor to take Xu Miaoyu's pulse. After confirming the good news, the three generations hugged each other and cried with joy.

Mother Lu immediately went to Duke Qin's mansion to tell her mother-in-law that her daughter could get pregnant.

Why should we be humiliated for nothing?

Xu Zhang also agreed that the Chen family should give an explanation and apologize sincerely.

However, Xu Miaoyu rejected the suggestions of the two elders and decided not to tell the Chen family about her pregnancy for the time being.

She wanted to see how Chen Ye was going to deal with Li Yu Niang first...

Su Yunling was very relieved. Although Xu Miaoyu was gentle, she was not weak.

She also agreed with Xu Miaoyu's idea, that is, to at least wait for Chen Ye to take the initiative to pick people up, see the attitude of the Chen family, and then consider what to do next.

The elders in the Xu family are relatively open-minded and will respect their children's wishes within principles, so they did not force Xu Miaoyu to return to her husband's family.

After Su Yunling told her grandfather and uncle the purpose of her visit, she was about to return to Baicaotang.

Baicaotang is now doing a booming business, and its beauty creams and health drinks are selling like hot cakes.

She contacted Pei Zongyao and set up a caravan to go to the Western Regions, preparing to make a batch of goods and entrust the caravan to sell them to the Western Regions.

This will open up new markets.

Xu Miaoyu couldn't stay idle in the mansion, and since Su Yunling lived alone in the County Lord's Mansion, she decided to go to Baicaotang with her to help out, and then stay in the County Lord's Mansion for a few days.

Su Yunling readily agreed and promised to take good care of her cousin. Then the two sisters got on the carriage and left the Su Mansion with the maids and servants.

As soon as the two arrived at Baicaotang, they found that there was a constant stream of people coming and going in front of the door.

Xu Miaoyu couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh: "This doesn't look like a medicine store at all, it looks more like a restaurant."

Su Yunling was also a little confused. Her business had been pretty good recently, but not this good.

Could it be because his true appearance was revealed at the banquet at the Duke's Mansion?

As I was speculating, I heard someone whispering:

"Have you heard? This is the face of Princess Hemin. Her appearance is the most beautiful in Great Yin."

"Is it true or not? I wonder if I can have the honor to see its true appearance?"

"Just take a look. Princess Hemin is not someone you want to mess with, and the Prince Su's Mansion behind her is even more unacceptable."

"Here she comes, here she comes, but why is she covering her face again?" Some people were disappointed when they saw Su Yunling getting off the carriage but still covering her face.

Su Yunling couldn't help laughing. It was just as expected. It looked like her beauty cream would have no trouble selling.

She has become accustomed to wearing a veil, which can block the sunlight and avoid some malicious gazes, so she still wears it when she goes out.

The two sisters went straight to the second floor. The drugstore had hired two new pharmacists to make medicines. Su Yunling only had to draw up the formula and check the accounts.

The last time Xu Miaoyu came to Baicaotang, she was in such a hurry that she didn't take a close look around. Today, she found that it was decorated very elegantly.

There are several pots of unique orchids by the window, and a low table and tea sets for tea tasting are placed under the window. In your spare time, you can arrange flowers, make tea, and appreciate the vast world.

Xu Miaoyu turned to look at Su Yunling, who was looking through the accounts and fiddling with an abacus, and suddenly she envied her life.

"Get rich, gold...silver bills..." a mynah bird by the window shouted at the top of its voice.

Xu Miaoyu was amused. It was really a bird raised by a money-grubber.

The two sisters spent a happy time together, earning money during the day, visiting the night market on Yongning Street at night, and returning home to rest when they were tired.

Xu Miaoyu hadn't been this happy for a long time, as if she had returned to the days before she got married.

But happiness is always short-lived. On this day, Li Yu Niang came directly to Baicaotang and knelt down to Xu Miaoyu as soon as she entered the door.

"Please, sister, give my unborn child a chance to live! Don't let Brother Ye abandon us."

Xu Miaoyu and Su Yunling looked at each other, both confused.

It was not until Chen Ye hurried over that the two of them knew what had happened.

Chen Ye, with his unshaven beard, seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He looked at Xu Miaoyu with a sincere pleading look in his eyes:

"Miao'er, come home with me! I don't want Yu Niang and the child anymore, I only want you, I will only protect you in this life..."

Li Yu Niang knelt over and hugged Chen Ye's legs, crying bitterly.

"Brother Ye, you can't do this to me! I'm carrying your only child in my belly! Do you really want to abandon us mother and child for such a barren woman?"

The two's behavior quickly attracted a large crowd of people who came to watch the fun.

After finding out the whole story, almost everyone accused Xu Miaoyu of being narrow-minded and jealous, and of being willing to cut off the Chen family's incense for her own selfish reasons.

This kind of woman who violates the seven rules of divorce and does not observe the virtues of a woman is absolutely unacceptable.

Xu Miaoyu was instantly pushed to the forefront.

She looked at the man and woman in front of her. What was there to not understand? How could this man come here to confess and make peace?

He was simply trying to force her to surrender and let him take a concubine.
