A few days passed peacefully like this. Mrs. Li sat in front of her dressing table, lost in thought. Seeing this, Nanny Li asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong? That matter has been going smoothly recently. Don't worry."

Li stood up, walked to the tea table, and fiddled with the green plants on it. "I've been feeling uneasy lately, as if something is going to happen. I can't sit still. Do you think Xiao'er's belly might be..."

Nanny Li covered Li's mouth and said, "Master, please don't say such unlucky words. If there is no other way, I heard that Master Huiming has returned. How about we ask Master Minghui to come and see the Second Young Miss?"

Li thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. Master Minghui had shown her the incident that year.

"Okay, go contact them quickly. It's the same as always. The front is the problem, but I want an absolutely accurate result."

This Master Minghui knows everything about astronomy and geography. His abilities are no less than the best masters in the temple, except that his character is slightly inferior.

Li's heart was beating wildly and she didn't know what was wrong. It was a good time to wait for the master to come and take a look at her.

She looked at the piles of account books on the table and decided to check the accounts first.

By the time I saw it, it was already afternoon.

In the afternoon, Li was looking at the account book when Nanny Li suddenly came in and said, "Master, Master Minghui is here."

Li straightened her clothes and nodded, "Please invite the master in, and call the second young lady as well."

Nanny Li left and Master Huiming came in soon.

Master Huiming came in and stood straight. Li walked over and bowed slightly, "Master, long time no see!"

Master Minghui clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, "Donor Li, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Li leaned slightly to the side, "Master, please take a seat."

Li personally poured tea for Master Huiming and then sat down.

She waved her hand, asking the maidservant beside her to leave. Only the two of them were left in the room. "Master, I asked you to come here mainly because I wanted you to see my little daughter. She's married now, and I want to see her offspring."

After Li finished speaking, she took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels and placed it on the table.

Master Minghui first looked at Li, then looked at the silver note on the table. When he saw the denomination of 10,000 taels, he blinked.

Ten thousand taels, just to see what he was going to do next, didn't seem to be anything special. He reached out and picked up the banknote, put it in his arms, and said lightly, "Okay!"

After that, no one spoke until Chu Xiao appeared.

Nanny Li brought Chu Xiao in. Chu Xiao walked gracefully and looked very happy. It was obvious that she was well-nourished.

As soon as Chu Xiao came in, she attracted Master Huiming's attention.

Master Huiming stared at her for a few seconds, then raised his eyebrows. "It seems this is Miss Chu II."

Li stood up and beckoned Chu Xiao to come forward and pay her respects to the master. "Xiao'er, this is Master Huiming. Hurry and pay your respects to the master."

Chu Xiao glanced at Master Huiming who was sitting on the chair, then obediently walked up to the master, knelt down and kowtowed. "Chu Xiao greets the master."

Master Huiming glanced at Chu Xiao and said lazily, "Get up."

He put down the teacup he had picked up without drinking a sip of the water in it.

He looked at Li next to him and said, "Donor, this young donor has no fate with children in this life."

After saying this, Master Huiming left.

When he reached the door, thinking of the 10,000 taels, he turned around and said, "Female donor, you and this young donor both have dark clouds over your heads and black spots on your foreheads. I'm afraid you've offended someone you shouldn't have recently, and there's a bloody disaster."

Having said this, Master Minghui left immediately.

Li fell down on the main seat, her face turning pale in an instant.

She thought about it and realized she was not pregnant, but she did not expect the master's next words: a black forehead indicates a person who is about to have bad luck or is about to die!

Chu Xiao hadn't realized what had happened yet. Seeing her mother's expression change, she stood up and ran to Li, asking, "Mother, what's wrong with you? What did the master mean by that?"

Mrs. Li held Chu Xiao's hands with both hands and comforted her, "It's okay, the master just said that you are not pregnant this time, but it has been so many days, and mother can't keep you any longer. Tomorrow is your last day at home, so rest well and don't let others see that something is wrong."

"I'll have someone tell Huairen to leave first, and you guys go separately."

"But you need to find a way to deal with your stomach."

Chu Xiao was unwilling and held Li's hand tightly, "Mother, will this master not allow it?"

Li shook her head. "As far as I know, as long as he says it, it's allowed."

Chu Xiao was instantly discouraged. After making so much effort, she didn't expect to fail at the last moment.

Chu Xiao walked out in a daze, looking like a frost-bitten eggplant, without any energy or spirit.

Mrs. Li looked at her leaving back, her eyes full of anger. She still remembered Master Huiming's last words. It seemed that someone was going to attack her daughter.

Li reviewed all the recent events and tried to find out all the potential possibilities.

Chu Xiao returned to her yard and lay down on the bed and didn't want to move. She didn't expect that getting pregnant would be so difficult.

Thinking back to how difficult it was for her to make an appointment with the prince, it seems the key lies with her cousin. He is really good-looking but useless.

However, she had a relatively good time during this period. After all, the prince was no longer able to do so, and she hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time. It was really addictive.

It seems that we can't really break up. After all, she will still need us in the future, and a certain relationship must be maintained. After all, she is still very comfortable.

Chu Xiao touched her flat belly. Since you didn't come, I have to find a better reason for my belly, otherwise it would be hard to explain.

What excuse would she find? Who would she blame for this?

She still needs to think about it carefully.

Thinking that she would soon be separated from Li Huairen, Chu Xiao's restless heart began to stir again.

She directed Du Juan, who was standing by, "Go, prepare a tonic soup. I'll personally deliver it to my cousin and thank him personally for helping me for so long."

When Du Juan heard that the master was going to prepare a tonic soup and personally deliver it to the cousin, she wanted to persuade him, "Master, this——"

Du Juan glared at him fiercely, "I'm the master, just do what I tell you to do, no need to talk too much!"
