After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The doctor came to take Shen Yunchu's pulse again and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant, but she had to continue to stay in bed for another month.

Shen Yunchu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Nanny Shen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Miss, I will send someone back to tell Madam right away."

Shen Yunchu touched her belly and began to imagine what the child would look like. A gentle expression appeared on her face.

Zhao Jingyan walked in and happened to see this scene, and his heart was moved.

"Husband, come quickly, the doctor said that I am indeed pregnant, our child!"

Shen Yunchu raised her eyes and saw her husband standing at the door, looking at her with a warm expression.

Zhao Jingyan walked over and put his hand on her belly.

"Then you, as a mother, must protect our child and stop being so reckless."

"How could it be me who was reckless? It's obviously my elder sister who was unreasonable!" Shen Yunchu became furious when he thought of this.

"Forget it. For my husband's sake, let's put this matter behind us." Shen Yunchu said hurriedly when she saw a hint of displeasure on Zhao Jingyan's face.

"Well, thank you, my lady. By the way, the King of Qi asked me to meet him at Huixian Tower tomorrow."

"King Qi? What did he ask you to do?" Shen Yunchu asked in surprise.

"I don't know either, but he is my brother-in-law and a prince. There is no way I wouldn't go." Zhao Jingyan made his position clear.

"Then let's go. By the way, I bought you a new set of clothes a few days ago. You can wear it tomorrow. By then, you will be more handsome than that prince Laoshi."

"You! You dare to say anything. Your mother-in-law dotes on you too much."

Although Zhao Jingyan said this, he felt very happy in his heart.

He scratched Shen Yunchu's nose affectionately with his fingers.

"Well, what if I need to treat you at that time?" Zhao Jingyan's face turned embarrassed when he said this.

"It's okay. I'll give you some money. It just so happens that the owner of the restaurant sent some silver notes in a few days ago."

Shen Yunchu took out the key from under the pillow, opened a small box at the bedside, took out a silver note from it, thought for a while, and took out another one.

Zhao Jingyan took them and looked at them. Each note had a face value of one hundred taels, and Shen Yunchu gave him two hundred taels at a time.

"Isn't this too much?" It was the first time that Zhao Jingyan received so much money, and he felt a little nervous.

"I can't let my husband be looked down upon by others. Besides, he will be the top scholar in the future. Who knows, he might even be able to earn me an imperial decree!"

The more Shen Yunchu spoke, the happier he felt.

At this time, Nanny Shen came in, and Shen Yunchu hurriedly signaled Zhao Jingyan to keep the banknotes.

"My lady, please have a good rest. I'm going to review now." Zhao Jingyan put the banknotes into his sleeve pocket and walked out.

"Miss, why did you give the banknote to Mr. Zhao?" With just a glance, Nanny Shen still saw it.

"He is my husband, what's mine is his, there's nothing I can't give him."

"Does he often ask you for money? It seems like he has several hundred taels today, right?"

"It's not hundreds of taels, it's just two hundred taels."

Shen Yunchu was impatient with Nanny Shen's nagging, so he turned over and pretended to sleep.

Nanny Shen was full of worry, so she called Chunxiang privately to a corner of the garden.

"Chunxiang, tell me honestly, does Miss Zhao often give money?"

Chunxiang nodded, "Yes, I tried to persuade Madam, but she didn't listen."

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family thought it was too expensive to support a scholar, so she separated the ladies from the others."

"Madam bought everything good for the master, saying that the master would do great things in the future."

"Mammy, now that you are here, you must persuade Madam. Madam's dowry has been spent by the master."

Chunxiang also saw it and was worried.

Unfortunately, her words were of a light nature, and the lady didn't listen to her at all, and even said that she had long hair but little knowledge.

"What? You said that the young lady's dowry has been spent? That's a full one thousand taels!"

Nanny Shen couldn't help but widen her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.

Shen Yunchu's dowry was prepared by her and Shen's mother together, and even the one thousand taels of silver was put in by her personally.

It's only been a few months? One thousand taels are gone?

If this money was placed in an ordinary family, one thousand taels would be enough for the family to use for several years.

"No, I have to go back and tell the Madam right away." Nanny Shen turned around and walked out.

She was worried that if she delayed any further, the young lady's dowry would be spent by Mr. Zhao.

Mother Shen was very surprised to see Nanny Shen return home, because Nanny Shen had just sent someone to bring back a message, but then she came back in person.

Nanny Shen, sweating profusely, told the whole story of what she had seen and heard.

Mother Shen was not as excited as Nanny Shen, because she knew too well that supporting a scholar did require a lot of money.

However, my daughter Shen Yunchu does spend money a little faster.

My grandson is going to be born soon. It’s impossible not to leave some for the child?

Thinking of this, Shen's mother couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up from the stool and said, "Let's go to the Zhao Mansion."

At this moment, Shen's father, who had just finished his rest, walked in.

The last time they had a disagreement, they reconciled because Shen's father entered the palace.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Father Shen stopped.

"Madame Shen said Yunchu is pregnant. I'm worried and want to go over and give her some advice. You know Yunchu's personality. She's carefree and doesn't act like a mother."

Mother Shen smiled and looked at Father Shen, "Will you go with me, husband?"

Father Shen pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"It's not easy for me to intervene in this matter, lest my in-laws think that we don't trust their family. You should go as early as possible and come back as soon as possible."

Shen's mother had never thought of letting Shen's father go. If her husband knew that his son-in-law was spending their daughter's dowry, how would he deal with it?

When Shen Yunchu heard that Shen's mother had come, he was still very happy. He snuggled in his mother's arms and chattered non-stop.

Mother Shen signaled to Nanny Shen and Chunxiang to go outside and guard.

Shen Yunchu looked at her mother curiously, "Mother, do you have something to say to your daughter?"

"I heard from Madam Shen that you spent all your dowry money on your son-in-law?"

"No way? I don't know where Madam Shen heard it from!" Shen Yunchu retorted weakly.

When Shen's mother saw what her own daughter looked like, how could she not know?

"Then open the dowry box and let mother see if it is still there?"

"Mother, would you rather believe what Nanny Shen said than what your daughter said?" Shen Yunchu was a little hurt.

"Then tell mother the truth, how much silver is left?"

"That little bit of money might not last a lifetime, right? Mother, you taught me that money is earned to be spent, and at worst you can earn it again after spending it."

"One thousand taels of silver can't buy much. I bought a piece of jade for my husband, which cost five hundred taels. Also, for my master's birthday, I bought a brush, which cost one hundred taels. Plus, my husband has to entertain guests, so he has to spend several hundred taels on clothes and entertainment."

Shen Yunchu counted the money one by one to her mother, and she really did not spend it recklessly.

It's really because she doesn't have enough money to spend. Anyway, she has a dowry made from her own money, so she doesn't have to worry about having no money to spend.
