Shen Mansion in the Southern Kingdom.

The fake Su Rou was lying on the couch, the sweat on her forehead had soaked her hair.

"Ayao..."

Her voice was resentful as she kept calling Shen Yao's name.

The maidservant was extremely anxious.

"Madam, please wait a minute. The master has already gone to ask for a midwife, and the doctor is on the way."

"Ma'am, you have to hold on."

Every time the fake Su Rou lay on it and took a breath, it felt like all the bones in her body were broken.

"It's snowing heavily today, and the roads outside are not easy to walk on. They are all on their way here."

"A Yao... I want to find A Yao..."

Fake Su Rou wanted to get up, her eyes were as blurry as a hungry wolf on the grassland that had not eaten meat for a long time.

But as soon as she stood up a little, she lowered her head weakly again.

Outside the door, heavy snow was falling, and the firelight coming from inside the house hit the white snow.

Shen Yao knelt in the snow with his eyes dull, and a large amount of snow had fallen on his body.

Guan Shi couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he stepped forward to persuade her, "Master, please go get a midwife first. You can't just watch your wife suffer."

Shen Yao knelt on the ground without moving.

It wasn't until the steward came over and pulled Shen Yao up from the ground that he calmly walked towards the carriage parked outside the yard...

It was not until the next morning that Jia Su Rou gave birth to the child.

The house was in a mess.

The midwife opened the door, carried the baby in her arms, and walked down the steps, saying to Shen Yao, "Master Shen, congratulations! You've given birth to a son. You'll have an heir from now on."

Shen Yao glanced around but did not take the child from the midwife.

Shen Yao looked a little haggard, apparently because he had been guarding the snow all night yesterday.

When the midwife saw that Shen Yao did not react, the smile on her face gradually froze.

"Uh...what's going on? Isn't Mr. Shen happy to have a son?"

The steward was helpless and stepped forward, holding the child in his arms. "What nonsense! Our master is so happy that he can't speak."

Shen Yao spoke after a while, his voice very hoarse, "How is she?"

The midwife was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a happy smile.

"Madam is in very good health. I have just asked someone to feed her some medicine. She has fallen asleep now. Please clean up the room later and then go in to visit her."

Shen Yao said, "No need. You stay and take care of her. Send someone to report to me when she wakes up."

Shen Yao turned around and left the yard.

Now the midwife and the maids didn't know what to do.

Isn't the reason why the master stayed here all night because he was worried about the lady?

Leaving now?

The former northern border,

"Ah...A-choo!" Su Rou sneezed.

"It's winter in the Central Plains. You are wearing too little, girl." The old woman looked at Su Rou.

Su Rou touched her nose and wrapped her cloak around herself, "I don't know... I've been feeling a bit sleepy lately."

"Are you too tired on this journey? We should be able to reach Jingzhou today. When we get there, I'll take your pulse and give you a good look."

Su Rou nodded.

Su Chi, who was riding a horse in the front, turned his head and looked straight at Su Rou.

He didn't say anything for a long time, just staring at me.

The front of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion was still as lively as ever.

Su Rou got off the carriage and pointed to the candied haws being sold on the roadside to Su Chi.

"Third brother, I want to eat candied haws."

Su Chi threw the horse rope to the others and said, "Eat a few skewers."

"both."

As Su Rou stepped onto the stairs, she suddenly felt dizzy and her body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Everyone spoke out in unison.

"girl!?"

Su Rou's back touched something hard.

Turning around, he saw Gong Yu.

Gong Yu picked her up and carried her sideways. "How come you've become so clumsy after going to the desert?"

Su Rou shook her head. "It's not that I didn't. I just felt dizzy and lost my balance, and then you appeared. If you hadn't appeared, I would have landed steadily on the ground by myself!"

Gong Yu sneered, "Why are you being so stubborn? I won't laugh at you."

Su Rou waved her fist, "But that expression on your face really makes you want a beating."

Gong Yu held Su Rou in his arms and walked directly over the threshold into the main room.

He even weighed it carefully and said, "Have you gained weight? It feels heavier."

Su Rou rolled up her sleeves as if she was not going to admit defeat, "I have become stronger, it is obviously you who is weak, and you can't hold me anymore."

Gong Yu placed her on the armchair. Su Rou saw it when she was picked up by Gong Yu. Huang Liao also came with his men.

Let Huang Liao handle the outside matters now. It’s a good time for her to talk to Gong Yu.

"You just arrived in Jingzhou? Have you finished dealing with the affairs of the Southern Kingdom?"

Gong Yu said, "I just arrived and haven't finished processing yet. With the Northern Barbarian King here, I can save some energy."

Su Rou said, "Oh...it's really a coincidence that we ran into each other."

"Tell me about Su Wan's situation?"

Su Rou said, "My father... I'll have to ask this old woman to take a good look at him. The people in the east originally wanted my father's life, but he voluntarily made an exchange with them, becoming a prisoner in exchange for his life. When we went there to find him, he wasn't in good condition, but on the way back, he's slowly regained some of his former energy and spirit."

Su Rou's face was full of pride when she said this.

She brought her father back home, so shouldn't she be proud?

Gong Yu raised his hand and smoothed the hair beside her ear, "Your hair has grown back."

During this period in the desert, Su Rou tied her hair up for convenience.

But some hair still escaped.

"Oh, and when we arrived in Mobei, we unexpectedly ran into my third brother. I don't know how it happened, but he also knew my father's location. I thought we had lost all contact with him since he left the Southern Kingdom."

Gong Yu said, "Su Chi has always loved you. How could he not know that you would go when Su Wan was arrested?"

Su Rou said, "I have a question that I have never dared to ask Third Brother."

Su Rou's eyes glanced out the door from time to time.

Gong Yu knew what she wanted to ask and raised the corner of his lips slightly, "If you want to ask him, just ask. Su Chi will not withhold information from you."

Su Rou sensed something was wrong and moved closer to Gong Yu. "What do you mean by that expression? I feel like you're up to something bad."

Gong Yu said, "I don't have one."

Su Rou said, "I don't believe it."

"Miss, you've been traveling all the way. Let's have a meal first. I've asked the servants to prepare some food."

Su Rou stood up, and her slightly bulging belly came into Gong Yu's sight.

Gong Yu: “?”

Gong Yu grabbed Su Rou who was about to go out. The smile on her face had not yet faded, and she turned her head in surprise to look at Gong Yu.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to call people to eat?"

Gong Yu said, "Ask the poison lady to come over and take your pulse."

Su Chi came back after buying candied haws. He stood beside the table with two candied haws in his hand. The atmosphere in the room was particularly solemn.

The old woman looked up at Gong Yu and said, "Well... the girl is pregnant."

"Bang!" Su Rou slammed the table and stood up. "Nonsense! I'm fat! I'm pregnant not long after I came of age! This is nonsense! My father and mother will definitely kill me."

In fact, after saying this.

Su Rou herself was no longer confident.

The old woman's brows were twisted in an unspeakable way. "Girl, you're pregnant... for at least three to four months..."

The old woman turned to look at Gong Yu, hunched over and knelt down in front of him. "This is my fault. I've been staying by the girl's side for a while and didn't even notice the changes in her body."

This time, since her last time with Gong Yu.

Then leave the South Kingdom to take Jingzhou, go to Mobei to find my father and come back, it will take about the same time.

No, how is this possible?!

Su Rou's brain started working quickly, thinking about how to make Gong Yu realize that she was not pregnant.

When she injured her shoulder, Gong Yu shamelessly refused to let her move.

If she were really pregnant now, she would probably not even be able to leave the house.

"Um, I..."

Before Su Rou could finish her words, two strings of candied haws appeared in front of her.

Su Chi handed it to her and said, "Here."

Su Rou took the candied haws, and Su Chi opened the door and went out without saying a word.

Gong Yu said, "How about we hold one in Jingzhou first, and then I'll give you another one when we return to the Southland?"

Su Rou was stunned, "What?"

Gong Yu said, "I'm talking about etiquette. Time is tight. I'll supply the betrothal gifts to the Su Mansion when we return to the South Country. I won't skimp on the proper etiquette. Let's get married first."

Gong Yu stood up, and Su Rou looked at his reflection on herself.

A feeling of fear welled up in my heart...

She held onto the stool tightly, refusing to let go. "Help... Help! Someone's trying to kill me for money! I don't want it! I won't marry! If you want this child, cut open my belly and keep it in yours."
