All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

"Jinshu, the hot summer is unbearable, and you have lost weight." Lin Ruan said gently.

Her voice was very soft, like a feather falling on Xu Jinshu's ear.

He lowered his eyes, forced a smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "My wife is worried."

The situation in Yangzhou City was indeed difficult at this time.

But the hardest thing is never this scorching summer.

Xu Jinshu's fingers unconsciously twisted his sleeves, and his knuckles turned white.

He looked up and saw that Lin Ruan's cheeks were slightly red and she still had a faint smell of alcohol on her body. He quickly collected his mind and said in a gentle voice: "Wife, you drank again today. There is a sobering soup warmed up in the kitchen. Would you like a bowl?"

Lin Ruan said "hmm" lightly, her eyes lingering on his face for a moment, but she didn't say anything in the end.

She thought that she was still too soft-hearted.

I could clearly make him completely despair, but I just couldn't bear to do it.

Late at night.

In the bedroom, candlelight flickered and incense curled.

Xu Jinshu knelt beside the bed, lowering his head and gently removing Lin Ruan's outer robe. His movements were very gentle, his fingertips occasionally touching her skin, then quickly retracting, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.

Lin Ruan lowered her head slightly, her eyes falling on his face. She slowly stretched out her fingers and gently stroked his cheek, feeling the delicate touch.

"Jinshu." She called his name softly, her voice as gentle as a feather, yet with a hint of barely perceptible pressure.

Xu Jinshu's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if startled by her voice. He slowly raised his eyes and met Lin Ruan's.

At that moment, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes, like a shooting star in the night sky, fleeting.

The red silk curtains on the bed swayed slightly, as if sighing softly for this moment of tranquility.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, with only the sounds of their breathing intertwined in the air.

After a while, Xu Jinshu's eyelids gradually became heavy, and finally slowly closed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Ruan looked at his peaceful sleeping face without saying another word. She sat quietly beside the bed for a long time before she took out an incense burner from her space.

She once again ignited the sweet fragrance of "A Dream of Spring Night", and the faint fragrance spread in the air, like a dream.

Then, she took out a shiny pill from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Jinshu's lips.

"Be good, swallow it."

Swallow it and you will be able to have a child.

Swallow it, and you won't have to suffer any more.

Her voice was gentle, with a hint of temptation that could not be refused.

Even in his sleep, Xu Jinshu was still alert. He held the pill in his mouth obediently, and swallowed it with his Adam's apple rolling.

Early in the morning, Xu Jinshu slowly opened his eyes, feeling sore and weak all over.

Lin Ruan beside him was still asleep, breathing evenly. He tilted his head, looking at the ceiling, his fingers gently stroking his lower abdomen, his eyes complicated.

This time... I must do my best.

He prayed silently to God in his heart.

Perhaps her sincerity moved the heavens. A month later, when the court physician came to check her pulse, he beamed with joy and said, "Congratulations, madam! You are already one month pregnant, and the baby is stable. However, you still need to be more careful and avoid overexerting yourself."

This is really great news! My lord and his wife have been married for five or six years and still have no children. Hearing this good news, I think you will get a lot of money.

Xu Jinshu was stunned for a moment, and then a bright light flashed in his eyes.

The corners of his lips lifted, and he instructed with a smile: "Zhu'er, prepare a red envelope of sixty-six taels for Doctor Li to share in his good fortune."

After the court physician happily left, Xu Jinshu, still immersed in joy, said to Song'er, "Go to the major temples in Yangzhou and ask them to donate fifty taels of incense money to each temple in my name."

Song'er responded repeatedly and helped him lie down: "Madam, please rest quickly. The court doctor said that you must take good care of yourself."

Xu Jinshu nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "Ask Zhu'er to ask the palace doctor to prescribe a medicine to maintain the pregnancy."

Tonight, he must tell Lin Ruan the good news.

As for pregnancy-maintaining medication...it's better to be prepared.

"Am I some kind of beast? You have to take pregnancy-preserving medicine before you can see me?"

After listening to the system's retelling, Lin Ruan almost laughed out of anger and pointed at himself and asked.

The system jumped twice in her sea of ​​consciousness and replied with a grinning expression: "ヾ(^▽^*)))"

Lin Ruan rubbed his brows, too lazy to bother with this stupid system.

As night fell, when she stepped into the room, Xu Jinshu was sitting at the table. When he saw her come in, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"My dear wife!" He stood up to greet her, helped her change her clothes, then suddenly dismissed the servants, knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed.

"Thank you, my wife, for your magnanimity and for letting bygones be bygones." His voice trembled slightly, filled with unconcealed joy. "This servant is already one month pregnant. From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly and raise the child well."

Lin Ruan reached out to help him up, her fingertips touching his slightly cool skin, and said lightly: "Don't kneel if you're pregnant, take good care of yourself. Leave the affairs of the mansion to the servants, you don't have to do it yourself."

After a pause, she added with a half-smile, "Also, I'm not a jackal, tiger or leopard. You don't need to take pregnancy-preserving medicine before seeing me."

Xu Jinshu's ears turned red, and he whispered, "I know I was wrong."

He carefully took Lin Ruan's hand and gently placed it on his flat belly, his eyes full of hope: "Wife, please feel it, this is our flesh and blood."

Lin Ruan followed his movements, placing her palm on his abdomen.

In fact, there is nothing to touch.

But she still said "hmm" in a gentle tone: "Take good care of yourself. When the baby is stable, I will take you back to the capital."

Xu Jinshu's face changed, his fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes, and he forced a smile and said, "The servant is not feeling well, and it is indeed wrong for him to stay with his wife and cause trouble..."

"What are you thinking?" Lin Ruan pinched his fingertips and explained, "I've been in Yangzhou for half a year. I'll cause unrest here soon. It's safer for you to return to the capital while you're pregnant."

Xu Jinshu suddenly looked up, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes: "Is my wife in danger?"

"I can escape unscathed, but I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

Xu Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, held her hand tightly, and whispered, "My wife must be safe."

At this moment, he actually forgot Lin Ruan's threat that "If I die, you will be buried with me", and his heart and eyes were filled with worry.

Three days later, the large ship sent by the Duke's Mansion docked at the Yangzhou wharf.

Xu Jinshu stood on the deck and looked back at Lin Ruan on the shore.

The wind blew up her robe, making it rustle.

His eyes suddenly turned red.

"My dear wife..." he called softly.

Lin Ruan waved her hand, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "Go back and take good care of the baby."

The boat slowly sailed away, and Xu Jinshu remained standing until the figure completely disappeared from his sight.

He touched his belly and whispered, "Son, let's go home."

After seeing Xu Jinshu off, Lin Ruan stood at the dock, looking at the shimmering river with deep eyes.

"System." She suddenly spoke.

"Here, here!" the system responded cheerfully.

"When will the new official take office?"

"Three days later."

Lin Ruan chuckled, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"The show...it's time to start."
