Hu Luanfei pondered for a moment, then pretended to be very busy and walked into Zuihualou. Zuihualou was already crowded, and the kitchen helpers and waiters were very busy. When they saw Jiang Wu coming in, they all came over crying and hugged him, "Brother, please be kind and lend a hand."

One by one, no matter what Jiang Wu was doing, they were waiting with aprons, pots and spoons.

That afternoon, everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to eat. There was no choice but Hu Luanfei to take over so that the errand boys could fill their stomachs first.

"My lady, it's not convenient for you now. Go back and rest for a while. I will recruit a few more people tomorrow."

Hu Luanfei took off her apron. "Sure enough, good business makes people more tired." She glanced at the kitchen. The bottom rack was full of dishes that had not been washed yet. "Hire two women to wash the dishes and a girl to serve tea and water. A man and a woman working together will make the work less tiring."

"Well, you should take a break first."

Hu Luanfei pointed to the door of the wing room and said, "Then I'll go in first."

Jiang Wu waved his hand.

After closing the door, Hu Luanfei leaned against the door, stroking his abdomen and stood there for a long time before he came to his senses.

It was very noisy and lively outside the door behind her. She was very relieved. She went to the table, took out pen and ink, wrote a letter to Xuanyuan Yuchuan, then took a short rest and went to Baishan Hall to invite Xuanyuan Yuqing to the palace.

Who would have thought that as soon as I went out, I would run into the dusty Qi Siriao.

The two were extremely surprised and were speechless for a moment.

She thought that since they hadn't been together for a long time, their feelings might have faded, so when they met they were just like familiar strangers without even a greeting.

She stood there for a moment, then put away her depressed mood and walked out. In fact, they didn't have a quarrel, but suddenly she and Qi Siliao had no topics to talk about.

Perhaps it was her indifferent attitude that made Qi Siliao unhappy. He met her by chance and he hadn't seen her for a long time. Although he didn't think about anything in his mind, his heart was still in a mess.

So he remained silent for a long time before he finally reacted and pulled Hu Luanfei back to the room.

Even though the movements were slow and gentle, Hu Luanfei was still frightened. Her stomach suddenly twitched, and the slight pain made her afraid to move. She quickly sat down on the edge of the bed, "What are you doing?"

She was angry for no reason.

Qi Si Liao was also startled and asked her hurriedly, "How is it? Did you have a miscarriage?"

Seeing that his face was darker than before, Hu Luanfei suddenly thought that he seemed to have not had much rest since he came back from the battlefield. His originally sharp and bright eyes were covered with a thick layer of dark circles due to the day and night toiling, comparable to a national treasure.

Hu Luanfei couldn't bear to make him worry any longer, so after taking a few deep breaths, his abdomen softened and he felt a lot more relaxed. "It's okay, I was just too nervous earlier."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"You're rushing here because something's wrong at the dam?"

Qi Siliao shook his head. "Jiang Yi and Jiang Er are still in charge of the dam. I've been working on the wasteland near the Beiqiu city gate."

He took out the design draft and waved it, "I'll use your good idea. I hope that one day, our Menghu Mountain can be as prosperous as Beiqiu."

"Don't you always think this is a difficult thing to do? Why did you suddenly take action?"

Qi Si Liao stared at her bulging belly with loving eyes, holding it gently with both hands, and said lovingly: "Bei Qiu is still too far away from Taohua Village. The older you are, the more worried I am about you working so hard."

His face was pressed against her belly, feeling her temperature. Perhaps it was the unusual heat that caused the little baby in her belly to move.

Qi Si Liao was suddenly surprised, "What kicked me?"

Hu Luanfei pinched his ear and said, "Your kid kicked me, idiot!"

Qi Si Liao exhaled, and he felt much more relaxed and childish. "This guy must be a little naughty."

After saying that, his stomach moved again, and the little baby seemed to express its dissatisfaction.

Hu Luanfei was half leaning on the quilt and pillow. She felt sleepy all the time while chatting with Qi Siliao, and fell asleep unconsciously. But she didn't sleep well. She had constant dreams, with the same scene over and over again.

She dreamed of a ten-mile red wedding dress. Qi Siliao was wearing a red wedding dress and sitting on a tall horse. The big red flower hanging on his chest was almost the same as the one held by the bride in the sedan chair.

A breeze blew and lifted the bride's red veil. The bride was very beautiful and smiled gently.

Hu Luanfei was frightened for a moment, this person was not her!

She ran anxiously towards the sedan chair, wanting to pull the bride out of it, but was seen by the guards around Qi Siliao, who pulled her aside and scolded her harshly.

Thinking Qi Si Liao would explain, she ran over without a second thought to stop his horse. She talked for a long time, but he didn't even look at her. She half-jokingly and half-unhappily began to yell: "Qi Si Liao, get off here. If you keep silent like this, I'm going to get angry. I tell you, if I'm really angry, I won't even look at you even if you die in front of me this time..."

Before she finished her words, the figure in front of her blurred for a moment, and a face as handsome as Qi Siliao appeared, but that face was much younger than Qi Siliao.

She stared at the face and was stunned for a moment. A few seconds later, when she heard what the young man said to her, her face suddenly turned red.

He said, "Mom, I'm here to protect you."

She was very emotional and one sentence brought her to tears.

"Luan Fei, Luan Fei?"

When Hu Luanfei woke up, she met Qi Siliao's worried eyes. Her heart suddenly ached for no reason.

"Why are you crying? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, tell me and I will go get a doctor."

Hu Luanfei burst into tears and cursed him as she cried, "You ungrateful bastard, get out of here!"

Qi Siliao was kicked out of the door and was completely confused. He helped her give the letter to Xuanyuan Yuqing while she was asleep. He had just come back from outside and saw her crying sadly, so he came over to say a few words of greeting. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by her.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Yuqing soon appeared and rescued her. "It is normal for pregnant women to have changeable moods. Just try to satisfy her."

Qi Siliao's expression didn't change much, he didn't even look at Xuanyuan Yuqing, he just nodded slightly and said lightly: "I thought I had offended her somewhere."

"Isn't she right?" Xuanyuan Yuqing coughed a few times and said weakly: "Have you ever cared about her when you were away? Have you ever been with her carefully when you came back?"

These two sentences made Qi Siriao feel guilty.

"It's my fault that I was so absorbed in my work that I ignored her feelings."

“Luan Fei is not a stingy person, you should coax her more... cough cough cough..." Xuanyuan Yuqing coughed a few times after he said each word. Sometimes he coughed so heavily that he couldn't even breathe.

Qi Si Liao was full of confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Xuanyuan Yuqing sighed: "Don't mention it. I haven't recovered from this disease since I was poisoned by the assassination."

"You are a doctor, can't you even cure yourself?"

Xuanyuan Yuqing silently rolled his eyes at Qi Siliao and said, "A doctor should not treat himself."

"You have many capable doctors in your family."

"There's nothing I can do. Cough cough cough... I've prepared medicine myself several times based on the symptoms of the illness. It relieved the symptoms, but it only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. It relapsed soon. This poison is very evil."

Qi Siriao recalled that Hu Luanfei had healed his leg and back injuries at some point in time, and his recovery ability was extraordinary.

"Go ask Luan Fei, she should have a solution."
