When Bai Lu mentioned menstruation, Wan Zhou didn't take it seriously.

"Oh, really?" She didn't think much about it.

But Bai Lu thought about it, and she whispered, "Miss, is it possible...?"

Wan Zhou saw Bai Lu hesitated to speak and immediately realized what she meant and was startled.

is it possible?

impossible.

Just one night with Ji Nanzheng, and she even got caught in the rain...

"Impossible." Wan Zhou shook his head decisively: "Isn't it normal to delay for a few days? Don't you often have two days more or two days less?"

"Miss, what if?" Bai Lu hoped from the bottom of her heart that Wan Zhou could really get pregnant.

She thought that now that the young lady was arranged to stay in this corner, she was comfortable, but it was not the right thing after all, she was like an outsider.

Besides, the general had only been here once since moving here.

Speaking of this matter, Bai Lu was full of questions. The young lady and the general were having dinner that day, and she was serving them on the side. She saw it clearly. The general looked at the young lady with a gentleness she had never seen before.

After dinner, the general and the young lady were still locked up in there for such a long time. She thought that they couldn't wait and had started doing this and that. She felt annoyed that she should have changed the bedding earlier.

Unable to change her bedding, she boiled hot water in the kitchen herself.

Waiting to be called at any time, the water was ready and the general left.

And never come back.

Bai Lu thought, if the young lady had a child at this time, would the general come?

Or, move directly back to Langyiyuan.

Seeing that Bai Lu was particularly serious, Wan Zhou began to feel uncertain.

Yeah, most likely not.

But what if?

Let’s not talk about whether she wants to have a child or not.

It’s a matter of whether you can have it or not.

Once it is really possible, no one will know whether it is a boy or a girl before it is born. If it is a boy, he will be the eldest son and the first heir of Ji Nanzheng, and the wife of the Duke will not allow this possibility to happen.

Wan Zhou suddenly shuddered.

"Bai Lu, wash my menstrual pads and hang them out."

Whether it is true or not, she has to keep it secret from outsiders until she has thought it through.

Since Mu Wan'er gave her the contraceptive cake, she must have kept an eye on her menstruation.

Wan Zhou was right. In the afternoon, Sui Er came to her and said, "Auntie asked me today if the Fourth Young Master's wife had her period?"

"I saw your menstrual belt at noon and told my aunt the truth."

Although Sui'er has only been here for half a month, she has already fallen deeply in love with Yijin Pavilion.

There was not much work to do here, and the meals were specially prepared by Sanniang. Although the taste was average, there was plenty of meat. Moreover, Wanzhou was not difficult to serve, and she often rewarded her with some fruits and snacks.

The key point is that after she took Wan Zhou's 5 taels of silver, plus her original savings, she already had 8 taels of silver.

There was also the ten taels that Wan Zhou promised to give her three months later. She thought that if she tightened her belt and saved some money, she would soon have 20 taels in savings.

Twenty taels! She had never dared to imagine when she could save up twenty taels.

Therefore, she made up her mind to work hard for Wanzhou. When her aunt asked her questions, she would not only think before speaking, but also report everything to Wanzhou honestly.

Wanzhou asked Bailu to give Sui'er half a dollar.

Wanzhou has seen the changes in Sui'er these days. Of course she is happy to have another loyal person.

Naturally, I am not stingy when I act.

Although Wan Zhou had some guesses about Mu Wan'er, he still felt wrinkled when he heard it with his own ears.

One can't help but think that if she was really pregnant, not only Lady Wang, but even Mu Wan'er would not let her give birth.

"There's no way to diagnose the patient's pulse right now, so let's just leave it like this for now. Maybe it's just a delay." Wan Zhou said to Bai Lu, actually he was trying to comfort himself.

She had no concept of children and had never thought about them.

She and Ji Nanzheng shouldn't have children either.

She hoped it was just a delay.

……

In Mu Wan'er's yard, Aunt Sui'er went to reply after hearing what Sui'er said.

"Miss Wan'er, Sui'er said that the Fourth Young Master's wife had just washed her menstrual belt. She saw it with her own eyes."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Yan." Mu Wan'er asked her maid Zi Ling to give a tip to Aunt Sui'er.

Aunt Sui'er took the reward and left.

When she got to a place where there was no one, she opened the purse and saw that there were only thirty or so coins in it. She curled her lips.

A 30-cent reward in the Duke's Mansion was somewhat shabby. But when Yan Ma thought of Mu Wan'er, an orphan who had taken refuge in the Duke's Mansion, and how kind she was to second-class servants like them, she forgave her.

"Miss, you don't have to worry anymore."

Zi Ling was brought to the Duke's Mansion by Mu Wan'er. They had a good relationship. Wan Zhou's belly was Mu Wan'er's concern, but now that the problem had been solved, she was very happy.

Mu Wan'er got a positive answer, but she didn't feel relieved.

The problem with Gu Wanzhou’s stomach was solved, but she now had another tricky thing to deal with.

Seeing that Mu Wan'er was still frowning, Zi Ling asked in confusion, "Miss, what's wrong with you? The general hasn't been there once recently. I guess the general really doesn't care about that girl."

Mu Wan'er was still unhappy: "Zi Ling, my aunt asked about my marriage today."

"Ah, Madam, have you taken a fancy to any young man?" Zi Ling was also startled.

"I don't have a specific family. My aunt said I'm almost old enough." Mu Wan'er was like a flower wet by the rain, and her voice was wet.

How could she not worry?

Women in Yan State would come of age at 15, get engaged at 16, and basically get married before 18.

She will be 17 years old in March after the Chinese New Year, and she hasn't yet arranged a marriage, which is considered late.

Mrs. Wang had mentioned this before, but she put it aside on the grounds that she was still young and wanted to stay with Mrs. Wang for more time.

But it can't be put on hold forever. If Mrs. Wang really makes up her mind, she has no right to say no.

Then all her planning over the years would be a joke.

"Miss, what should we do?" Zi Ling also knew the seriousness of the situation and was worried about Mu Wan'er.

"Zi Ling, I don't have much time. At most I can wait until next year's birthday, and then my aunt will definitely arrange it for me." Mu Wan'er's voice was still wet, but her eyes had become sharp.

As soon as Mu Wan'er said this, Zi Ling knew she was going to take action. After thinking for a while, she said, "Miss, my cousin seems to have been well behaved recently and hasn't gone to Yijin Pavilion to cause trouble."

"So, we have to create something for her to mess around with."

"Miss, what do you mean...?"

"If you want to make Wang Sijun do something stupid, you have to make trouble with Gu Wanzhou."

Mu Wan'er thought about it and came up with a plan in her mind: "Find someone to keep an eye on Gu Wanzhou's two maids. I want to know where they go and who they meet."

Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you create trouble.

"Oh, Miss, the last time I went out, I accidentally saw Bai Lu and a man go to Juxian Tower. I saw that the man was well-dressed and didn't seem to be related to Bai Lu, so I asked Lin Zi in the outer courtyard to find out. It turned out that the man was the son of the wet nurse. People called him Boss Hua."

"I heard that Boss Hua has a big business and is a very mysterious person. He often goes in and out of Juxian Building. There are rumors that he is the boss behind Juxian Building, but there is no solid evidence."

"There's one more thing..." Zi Ling lowered her voice, "I heard that there's a private room in Juxian Building that belongs to that person, and it's not open to the public."
