My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

Old Mrs. Chen's family was really poor. Apart from half a bag of potatoes, they only had about ten pounds of broken rice.

There were very few vegetables in the garden. Originally, they were not enough for her to eat alone. Now there were three more mouths to feed, so she could only make some vegetable soup to survive every day.

Fortunately, the Fourteenth Prince sent a bag of rice, a jar of ash oil, and some dried meat that day, but after eating it a few times, Old Lady Chen couldn't bear to eat it anymore.

"Little Jiu, you are still pregnant, you need to eat well in the future. After the baby is born, you still need to take care of the confinement period! You can't touch these little things!"

Old Mrs. Chen is kind-hearted. She has spent half her life in the countryside and knows how difficult it is to survive.

In fact, even if she didn't say it, Die Jiu and Xin Yi couldn't bear to eat that little thing...

"If the young lady really wants to give birth to a child here, those things should be left to her."

Xinyi said quietly.

Diejiu's eyes have been a little dry these days because she hasn't been able to eat any meat.

Besides rats, the only furry things left in Old Lady Chen's house are people...

"We can still hold on, but the young lady has never suffered such hardship before, and now she is pregnant. When I thought about these things last night, I was so distressed that I couldn't sleep. But Xinyi... you are confused. Now Old Lady Chen only knows that I am pregnant. Even if we can hide it from the Fourteenth Prince in the future, we can't hide it from Old Lady Chen!"

Diejiu felt that they could only live here for a short period of time.

"We have to get out of here before the young lady shows her pregnancy!"

"Where should we go? Is this place safer? Yesterday I went to the ditch to wash clothes and met a village woman. She said that this area is surrounded by mountains and women dare not go up the mountain because there are so many wild beasts! Men also have to go with companions, otherwise they will be eaten by wolves at any time."

Xinyi felt a little itchy and scratched it twice.

"It doesn't matter to us, but if the young lady follows us and runs into danger, we won't be able to explain to the old lady... Ouch, it's so itchy, my body is covered in mud, I wanted to wash it in the ditch yesterday, but I was afraid someone would see it."

The two were chatting when Wen Qiqi walked out of the room.

"Miss, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"I can not sleep."

Wen Qiqi also felt very itchy, so Die Jiu took a broken fan and fanned the young lady.

"Forget it, stop fanning me. I heard what you two said just now... It is indeed safer for us to stay here now, but I feel uncomfortable with the wound on my body, so I have to think of a way to wash it off first."

Wen Qiqi looked around and suddenly had an idea: "The stream at the door should flow down from the front mountain. Let's go up along the ditch and when we get to the place where everyone lives, we can find a puddle and have a good wash!"

Die Jiu and Xinyi applauded immediately!

"Miss, you are smart. We can just walk to the foot of the front mountain and we should be fine."

"Take your handkerchief and clean clothes and go!"

The three of them just told Old Lady Chen that they wanted to go out for some fresh air, and then they all walked towards the ditch!

Although this front mountain looks very close, it is actually very long to walk.

They walked for half an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain...

The water in this stream really came from the cliff of the front mountain. Wen Qiqi looked up and saw that the cliff was covered with apricot flowers, which was very beautiful.

"This scenery is quite nice... Diejiu, Xinyi, let's build a pool here today!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, miss."

The three of them got to work right away. Sometimes they moved stones to block the water, sometimes they dug sand and dug a deep pit. After working for a while, they finally gave birth to a son with big blisters!

"Miss, there's no one here! You wash first..."

Die Jiu looked around, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Wen Qiqi couldn't wait to take off her skirt, first tried it with her feet, then slowly squatted down...

"That's so refreshing! Haha, you two can come in too. There's no one here, so the three of us can take a shower together!"

"That won't do. Let's help the young lady wash herself first, and then we two can wash ourselves."

Although I'm not at home, this habit of many years cannot be changed in a short time.

Wen Qiqi didn't force it. During the days she lived with Old Lady Chen, not only did she sweat and feel sticky every day, she was also bitten by lice under the kang mat and got several big lumps!

Fortunately, Die Jiu got some medicine to fumigate the area, otherwise, the lice under the kang mat would have definitely become blood-activating packs.

"Okay, I'm almost done washing...you two hurry up and wash your clothes and give me your clothes!"

Wen Qiqi had just stood up from the water bubble when she heard a man's laughter suddenly coming from the cliff...

Suddenly, she quickly squatted into the water and hugged herself tightly with her arms!

Die Jiu and Xinyi were terrified and looked up at the cliff in a hurry!

But they didn't see anyone...

"Who is playing tricks on me, hiding on the cliff and peeping at a girl bathing? Come out now! Otherwise, I will catch you and will never let you go!"

Die Jiu roared!

No one responded from the cliff.

Xinyi quickly took the clothes, walked into the bubble, and hurriedly helped the young lady put them on!

The clothes that were originally dry are now soaked...

The three of them didn't care about anything else and returned to Old Lady Chen's house in panic.

"Ah, spray! Ah... spray!"

That night, Wen Qiqi kept sneezing. Even when she was sitting on the kang wrapped in a quilt, she couldn't stop shaking all over. Soon her forehead became hot and she had a high fever.

Old Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "This is terrible! I'm afraid he has caught a cold!"

At first, Diejiu and Xinyi didn't know why Old Lady Chen was so nervous. One of them put a cold towel on the young lady's forehead, and the other asked Old Lady Chen where she could find a doctor.

Old Lady Chen said, "There is no doctor who can cure colds in this area! There is one in East City... but it's so chaotic now, with fighting going on... we can't go to East City!"

"Cold... cold... Diejiu, give me another quilt!"

Wen Qiqi's face was pale and he was shivering as he lay on the kang.

Diejiu could only keep covering the young lady with more clothes and heating the kang a little, praying that the young lady would sweat and get better.

The token of appreciation was some dried meat, with some dried mushrooms that Old Mrs. Chen usually didn't want to eat, and then served it to the young lady.

"Miss, please eat something..."

"vomit!"

As soon as Wen Qiqi smelled the fishy smell of the dried meat, he felt so nauseous that he almost vomited into the bowl.

Fortunately, she was sick now, and vomiting was normal, so it did not arouse Mrs. Chen's suspicion...

While Old Lady Chen was out, Die Jiu looked at Xin Yi and whispered, "You can't wait like this. I'm afraid the young lady can't stand it! Otherwise, you can go find the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince... There are military doctors in the army, just bring one person back."

Xinyi was so anxious that he turned around and went to look for the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes.

Wen Qiqi grabbed Xinyi's hand and said weakly, "Don't go!"

"Miss……"

"When the military doctor comes, he will definitely check my pulse... I won't be able to hide the baby in my belly."

The two men suddenly realized what was going on and stood by the young lady's side, anxiously crying.
