Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The next day, their ship slowly sailed to Yuncheng.

The dock was bustling with people coming and going, but the ship had been docked for a long time and Tao Jiuxi was still asleep.

Shen Zhiyi waited on the deck for a long time before coming over to invite Tao Jiuxi in person.

He walked into the room quietly, looking at Tao Jiuxi who was still half asleep, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. He reached out and gently stroked Tao Jiuxi's hair, saying softly, "You went to bed so early yesterday, why are you still so sleepy today?"

"The girl has been like this these past two days, and I don't know why." Mu'er said from the side, with a hint of worry on her face.

"It's been like this for two days?" Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

"I woke up last night, and just as it got dark, I fell asleep again. It's been like this ever since." Mu'er explained in detail. She had also tried it, and Tao Jiuxi didn't have a fever, and he slept very soundly.

"Mu'er, go call Jiang Shun." Shen Zhiyi said decisively.

He decided to ask Jiang Shun to find a doctor to check on Tao Jiuxi. After all, this situation was really abnormal. He sat quietly beside the bed, looking at Tao Jiuxi's peaceful sleeping face.

Shen Zhiyi's gentle movements accidentally woke up the sleeping Tao Jiuxi.

She was sleepy, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "Why are you here?"

"It's already noon, and Fuya is already asleep, yet you're still sleeping in." Shen Zhiyi's tone didn't contain any accusation, but rather a gentle tone. He gently helped Tao Jiuxi out of bed, and looking at Tao Jiuxi's slightly pale and listless face, he couldn't help but feel worried.

He wondered to himself whether what happened in Sucheng before had such a huge impact on Tao Jiuxi that she was frightened and became so sleepy.

"I'll get up right away." Tao Jiuxi rubbed his eyes.

"There's no rush. Sit down for a while and have a glass of water." Shen Zhiyi said gently, then turned around to pour some water.

Tao Jiuxi looked at Shen Zhiyi's back and felt extremely sweet in her heart. She felt that Shen Zhiyi had become too well-behaved now, like a docile kitten, which made her want to love him even more.

Shen Zhiyi had just poured the water when Jiang Shun came outside to ask for a meeting.

He knew the rules, so he only replied outside: "Master."

"Let's find an inn and have everyone rest there. We can stay in Yuncheng for two days. Then we can call a doctor."

Shen Zhiyi said as he handed the cup of water to Tao Jiuxi. His eyes never left Tao Jiuxi, and they were full of concern.

"Yes, master."

Jiang Shun took the order and withdrew.

"Why do you want to call a doctor? Who is sick?" Tao Jiuxi put down the water cup and looked at Shen Zhiyi in confusion, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"You haven't looked very energetic these past two days. Please ask a doctor to come and see you."

"I'm fine. I used to love to sleep." Tao Jiuxi tried to convince Shen Zhiyi that she didn't want to go to such lengths to see a doctor for such a minor problem. She felt that she was just tired recently and that she would be fine if she got more sleep.

As the two were talking, Mu'er's voice came from outside: "Miss, thank you for your request to see me."

"Let her in."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi carried Fu Ya out of the room.

He didn't want to disturb Tao Jiuxi and Xie Yushu's conversation.

"Jiuxi." After Xie Yushu entered the room, he sat directly beside Tao Jiuxi's bed.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. I'm really scared of you doing this." Tao Jiuxi frowned and looked at Xie Yushu helplessly.

"When I rescued you at the Xie Mansion that day, you promised to take me out of the capital and give me a large sum of money, right?" Xie Yushu's face was a little embarrassed at first. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering, but she soon mustered up the courage to speak.

"You want to stay in Yuncheng? Yuncheng is very close to the capital. Will you be unsafe here?" Tao Jiuxi frowned and looked at Xie Yushu worriedly.

"I don't want to go any further. I heard Yuncheng is great, and I want to live here with my mother." Xie Yushu raised her head and looked at Tao Jiuxi with a firm gaze. She had already made up her mind, and she believed that Yuncheng would be their new beginning.

"You heard, who did you hear it from?"

Tao Jiuxi immediately thought of the young man she had rescued yesterday. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she felt that something was amiss.

"You don't need to know, you just need to keep your promise." Xie Yushu's tone was a little stiff.

She didn't want Tao Jiuxi to interfere too much in her decision. She just wanted to get the money and start a new life.

"Xie Yushu, I will definitely do what I promised you, but if you decide your future based on a few words from others, isn't that too hasty?"

Tao Jiuxi looked at Xie Yushu helplessly. She hoped that Xie Yushu would consider it carefully.

She didn't want to see Xie Yushu make the wrong decision because of impulse.

"I will be responsible for my own affairs. You just need to give me the money." Xie Yushu didn't want to hear anything more from Tao Jiuxi at this time.

Tao Jiuxi was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to the cabinet, handing the bundle he had prepared to Xie Yushu. "Here are the money and your household registration documents. Be careful, don't show off your wealth when you go out, and don't trust others easily."

Xie Yushu opened the package and saw the banknotes inside. He said to Tao Jiuxi, "Give these to me and we'll be even."

There was not much expression on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions. She knew that Tao Jiuxi was doing this for her own good, but she also had her own ideas and choices.

Then, Xie Yushu turned around and left. Her steps were firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Tao Jiuxi looked at Xie Yushu's back, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

In the end, she said nothing, just took a deep breath and went to get dressed.

Mu'er stood on the boat, watching Xie Yushu, Wang Shi, and the young man Tao Jiuxi rescued yesterday leave together.

After returning, she complained to Tao Jiuxi: "Miss, Xie Yushu is too heartless."

There was a hint of anger in her voice, as if she felt sorry for Tao Jiuxi.

"She did nothing wrong. Let's not talk about her anymore." Tao Jiuxi shook her head slightly. She felt that she was wrong.

Even though she had been at odds with Xie Yushu during this period, she still hoped for the best for him, but Xie Yushu left so decisively. She felt a little lost, but she also understood that everyone has their own choices and life paths.

Fu Ya was probably a little naughty today because she was hungry and kept making noises. Jiang Shun had already taken Mu Er and Fu Ya to the inn.

The guards and boatmen on the boat left one after another, leaving only the boatman to look after the boat.

The entire ship seemed exceptionally quiet, as if shrouded in a lonely atmosphere.

Shen Zhiyi insisted that Tao Jiuxi see a doctor before leaving.

Tao Jiuxi sat helplessly beside Shen Zhiyi, while a doctor who was already in his old age was taking her pulse with a focused expression.

"I'm really fine. Even if I sleep too much, you think I'm sick?" Tao Jiuxi frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless about Shen Zhiyi's excessive nervousness.

"The doctor has seen it, and I feel relieved."

The doctor carefully felt the pulse and after a while, he said to the two of them, "Madam is fine. She's just two months pregnant. That's why she's been a little sleepy lately."

Originally, seeing that Tao Jiuxi was young, the doctor wanted to call her "girl", but changed his mind after seeing her pulse.

"What? Doctor, you must have made a wrong diagnosis." Upon hearing this, Tao Jiuxi felt that the doctor was talking nonsense.

"I have been practicing medicine for thirty years, and the lady's pulse is a happy one, so I can't be wrong." The doctor stroked his beard and said in a firm tone.

"Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about?" Tao Jiuxi was panicking, thinking that someone must be framing her. Her eyes were full of vigilance and her face turned pale.

"I have never met the lady before. Whatever the pulse diagnosis shows is the result. There is no way it can be wrong." The doctor said this angrily and left with his bag.

When Tao Jiuxi looked at Shen Zhiyi again, Shen Zhiyi managed to maintain a calm expression. But his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner excitement.

"I think this doctor's medical skills are not very good. Jiang Qu, go find two more doctors." There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in Shen Zhiyi's tone.

Tao Jiuxi just thought it was ridiculous. Although he and Shen Zhiyi had some intimate actions, it really didn't reach that stage.

How is it possible to get pregnant?

"It's speechless that there are such charlatans in Yuncheng." Tao Jiuxi didn't care and picked up the teapot to pour a glass of water for Shen Zhiyi and himself.

Her movements were somewhat casual, and it was obvious that she didn't take the matter to heart.

Tao Jiuxi could sense that Shen Zhiyi was a little panicked at this moment, and even teased: "Why, you want to be a father so early?"

"Fuya is enough for us now. I'm just worried about your health." Shen Zhiyi said, his voice a little low, his eyes revealing his concern for Tao Jiuxi.

Jiang Qu found two doctors nearby and quickly got on the boat.

The two doctors took Tao Jiuxi's pulse respectively.

"Madam is two months pregnant, and her recent sleepiness is due to this." When the second doctor said this, Tao Jiuxi's brows were already furrowed.

Her heart was full of doubts, and she didn't understand why such a result occurred.

"Impossible, come and see." Tao Jiuxi pointed at the third doctor who was taking the pulse.

Her doctor only said: "Madam, it is indeed a pregnancy pulse. There is no need to take the pulse again. It has been two months."

The doctor's tone was firm, and Tao Jiuxi's heart sank instantly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qu quickly took the doctor out.

Tao Jiuxi felt like she was in a fog at this moment, her mind was blank. She slowly turned around and looked at Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi's eyes were red, and the tenderness and deep love in his eyes in the past were now filled with endless pain and despair.

His eyes were filled with tears, and a tear slipped quietly from the corner of his eye, leaving a sad tear mark on his handsome cheek. And those hot tears, like hot magma, burned Tao Jiuxi's heart fiercely, making her soul tremble.

Shen Zhiyi's lips trembled slightly, and those few words were squeezed out with difficulty from between his teeth: "Whose child is it?"
