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

"I'll go. I have a good sister who is in charge of the fire in the big kitchen. She often roasts sweet potatoes for me. I can take this opportunity to put them in."

At this moment, a small answer came from the door.

It turned out to be the maid Xiu'er. Shen Yunjin smiled at her and said, "When you give birth to this baby successfully, you will be my adopted sister."

"Miss, you don't have to be so polite. My life was saved by my aunt. She treats me like her own daughter. Xiu'er will never betray my aunt!"

Xiu'er was a little beggar whom Aunt Li rescued on the street. When Aunt Li saw that both her parents had passed away, she took her in and made her a maid.

Aunt Li felt sorry for her because she was almost the same age as her own daughter, and treated her the same as Shen Yunjin.

She would always save a portion of delicious food for her, taught her how to make clothes, and even let her learn to read with Shen Yunjin.

Xiu'er felt that even if her parents were still alive, they would not necessarily be like Aunt Li.

"Don't worry, this isn't to harm anyone. It's just to make Madam Shen have a false pregnancy so that Aunt Li's baby can live longer."

Linglong comforted her, saying that she didn't learn medical skills to harm people, otherwise, her master would probably jump out of his coffin.

Xiu'er's fearless expression disappeared, she took the medicine and went out.

Mrs. Shen always felt depressed when she woke up in the morning. "It's too hot today. I feel so stuffy and uncomfortable. Ugh..."

As soon as she picked up the teacup, she felt so nauseous that she couldn't help vomiting.

"Master, what's the matter?" Nanny Shen hurriedly took the teacup and served it to Madam Shen.

"Maybe I ate too much cold food yesterday and hurt my stomach." Mrs. Shen waved her hand weakly.

It was a hot summer day and she ate one extra slice of watermelon yesterday, which probably hurt her stomach.

"Mammy, you should go back to Yunchu. After thinking about it, I still feel uneasy about her."

After Shen Yunchu recovered, she wanted to go back. She didn't like Nanny Shen interfering in her affairs, so she kept Nanny Shen in the Shen Mansion.

Nanny Shen was Madam Shen's wet nurse. Madam Shen was used to having her around, so she acquiesced.

However, in the past two days, Mrs. Shen's left eyelid kept twitching, and she always felt that something was happening.

"But, the young lady..." Nanny Shen knew Shen Yunchu's temper as a young lady, and she was afraid that she would chase her back.

"I'll write her a letter later, you take one with you,... ugh..."

Mrs. Shen, who had just picked up the white porridge, couldn't help but retching again.

Nanny Shen suddenly had an idea, "Madam, are you pregnant?"

"No way? Is the doctor's medical skills so effective this time?" Mrs. Shen said puzzledly while touching her belly.

"How about asking a doctor to take a look?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait a few days and see. Maybe it's just that your stomach has cooled." Mrs. Shen took a bite of pickles to suppress the taste in her mouth.

She has never been happy since she gave birth to Shen Yunchu.

She visited all the doctors in the capital, but none of them could give her an explanation.

If she rashly asked a doctor to take her pulse, it would probably spread throughout Kyoto that she was desperate to get pregnant.

"Then I will wait for Madam to see the doctor before going to the eldest lady."

Nanny Shen also didn't like going to Shen Yunchu's place. She couldn't stand the way her son-in-law asked for money every day.

But the eldest daughter thinks everything about her son-in-law is good and won't listen to any advice at all.

If she said a few more words, the eldest lady would scold her for disobeying her superiors and not respecting her master.

"Okay." Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment and agreed.

She is already in her early thirties. If she gets pregnant, I wonder how many people will laugh at her.

It would be inconvenient to be surrounded by maids. Nanny Shen was her wet nurse, and she instinctively relied more on her.

Shen Yunchu was so busy that no one remembered to inform the Shen family.

By the time Shen Yunchu's condition had stabilized a little and she remembered to send someone back home to report to Madam Shen, Madam Shen had already asked a doctor to confirm that she was pregnant.

Because the time is still young and Mrs. Shen is now at an advanced age and pregnant, the doctor has advised her not to overwork herself and to focus on taking care of the baby.

Mrs. Shen was also very nervous when she heard the doctor say this.

I told her not to disturb her unless it was something important.

As luck would have it, the person Shen Yunchu called to report the news that day was just a servant from the outer courtyard. He couldn't explain what the matter was, but just said that Shen Yunchu wanted Madam Shen to come over to the house.

When Nanny Shen heard what the doorman said, she didn't take it seriously. She thought that Shen Yunchu was out of money and wanted to ask Madam Shen for money.

Mrs. Shen had severe early pregnancy reactions, including drowsiness, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which made Nanny Shen feel distressed.

So, she took her own initiative and did not report it to Mrs. Shen.

Shen Yunchu waited in the mansion for a long time but Madam Shen didn't come. However, the messenger brought back the news that Madam Shen was pregnant.

She had just lost her child, but Mrs. Shen became pregnant. Moreover, because she was pregnant, she abandoned her daughter.

Shen Yunchu couldn't accept it and hid in the quilt and cried loudly.

Zhao Jingyan, who had just walked to the door of the room, saw this and withdrew his foot that was about to step in.

Ever since losing her child, Shen Yunchu would cry whenever she thought of him. It was common for her to cry more than ten times a day.

At first, Zhao Jingyan patiently comforted her. He never thought about where a woman could shed so many tears.

No wonder there was a legend in ancient times that Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall.

Now, whenever he heard Shen Yunchu crying, he would run away in fear.

He went back to his study to continue studying and preparing for the imperial examination in the spring.

After the autumn examination, some people were already preparing for the spring examination, while some people, feeling hopeless, picked up their books and prepared to take the exam again next year.

And some people are preparing for their wedding.

Han Yang is one of them.

Until the day of the wedding, Han Yang still felt like he was dreaming about being able to marry the second daughter of the Minister of Honglu Temple.

Wang Zhaozhao’s wedding will definitely include her best friend Shen Yunjin.

The wounds on Shen Yunjin's buttocks have all healed, and new tender flesh has grown.

Two days ago, she came specifically to help her best friend put on makeup.

"Jin'er, you're finally here, come and talk to me, I'm almost bored to death."

In the past few days, relatives came to add to Wang Zhaozhao's makeup one after another, and she felt that her face was about to become stiff from smiling.

Almost all the relatives asked the first question: "Why marry someone like this? Aunt has a better candidate, would you like to consider it?"

Before she was engaged, none of these aunts said a word.

They are rushing over to show their affection, but does she not know that they are laughing at her?

Isn't it just that you look down on Han Yang's poor family?

The candidates they so-called were just those who had some money thanks to their parents, and when all was said and done, they were not even worth a single finger of Han Yang's.

The most annoying thing is her aunt.

As soon as he arrived, he angrily questioned Mrs. Wang, asking what was wrong with the young general she had chosen for him?

She would rather marry an unknown poor scholar than Cao Meng. Is her whole family crazy?
