After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

"Mrs. Zhang, look at this peony. It's so gorgeous and beautiful."

The person who spoke was none other than Mrs. Wu, who had just mocked Lin Ting. She pointed to a peony in full bloom, and the smile on her face showed her love for it was visible to the naked eye.

Just as she was admiring it with a smile, the peony in front of her was suddenly picked.

Han Yian took the peony in his hand and looked at it: "It has only color, but if it leaves the branch, it will wither in half a day.

It is better to be like a rose, which can live in the sunshine and be proud and unyielding no matter where it is planted."

Han Yian used flowers to mock these ladies, saying that they were only beautiful in name only and could only survive by relying on men.

But Lin Ting is different. She relies on herself and can live a wonderful life no matter where she goes.

Madam Wu and the others obviously heard it, and their snobbery was fully displayed. They could talk to Lin Ting, but they didn't dare to confront Han Yian from the General's Mansion.

"Han Yian, what nonsense are you talking about? Why did you pick such a beautiful peony?"

"When they are in full bloom, they are used for decoration. But at dusk, when the colors fade, they should be thrown away. This is the fate of flowers, isn't it?

Besides, I picked this flower to appreciate it, didn't I? Why is Madam Wu reacting so strongly?"

There is an unwritten rule at flower viewing banquets: if you see a flower you like, you can pick it and wear it on your head.

But once you pick the peony, you can't pick anything else, so even if Han Yian picked this flower, Mrs. Zhang, the host, couldn't say anything.

"Rude, let's go..."

Han Yian mocked them for being only good-looking. Madam Wu and the other ladies left, leaving Madam Zhang caught in the middle, feeling very awkward.

"Mrs. Wu, I still have a lot of peonies. You can pick one you like later."

Madam Zhang called out to Madam Wu. Compared with Lin Ting, the Wu family was more useful to the Zhang family.

"Mrs. Zhang, we can just enjoy these flowers by ourselves. You don't have to greet us here."

Lin Ting's words made Madam Zhang feel relieved. As long as Lin Ting stayed here until the end of the day, she would have completed the task given to her by Concubine Xian.

"Then Madam Lin and Miss Han have fun. I'll go and greet the other guests first."

Watching Madam Zhang walk away, Han Yian breathed a sigh of relief. These people treated Lin Ting the same way they treated her back then.

If she hadn't made a big fuss, saying that these people looked down on the general's mansion, and even made a scene in the palace, these women would not have been afraid of her.

"Lin Ting, I'm here today, no one can bully you in the slightest."

Lin Ting: "Thank you!"

The two of them had no interest in appreciating the flowers, so they found a pavilion to sit down and rest. There was a woman in the pavilion with a sallow complexion. She was pregnant, probably in her seventh or eighth month.

"Yian, did the sun rise from the west today? I'm surprised to see you attending this kind of flower viewing party."

Seeing the woman, Han Yian's expression also relaxed a lot: "Sister Wen, why are you here too? You are pregnant."

Wen Lengyan smiled bitterly. She had no choice. She was the mistress of the family, and this kind of occasion was the best way to maintain relationships in the capital.

Moreover, her husband works under Lord Zhang, so she has to attend the flower viewing party at the Zhang Mansion even though she is pregnant.

"I was bored at home, so I decided to go out for a walk. By the way, is this your friend?"

Wen Lengyan turned to look at Lin Ting. He looked very unfamiliar. He had never seen him before in the circle of nobles in the capital.

Han Yian took Lin Ting's arm and sat down, introducing him to Lin Ting and Wen Lengyan.

"Sister Wen, this is my new friend, Lin Ting. She runs Huayan in the capital. Shen Qingzhou, the champion of this year's imperial examination, is her husband."

It turned out that she was the owner of Hua Yan. All of Wen Lengyan’s skin care products and makeup were from Hua Yan.

Plus, she is Huiyuan's wife, so we will inevitably have interactions in the capital in the future.

"It's Madam Lin, nice to meet you..."

Lin Ting also nodded to Wen Lengyan, and Han Yian continued to talk to Lin Ting.

"Lin Ting, this is my sister Wen, Wen Lengyan, the granddaughter of General Wen, and now the wife of Pei Xuewen, a regular officer in the Ministry of War."

"Hello, Madam Pei!"

"Just call me Lady Wen. I won't take my husband's last name."

It was obvious that she had a bad relationship with her husband. Moreover, Lin Ting thought that her pregnancy did not look good at all. Judging from her face, there were signs of miscarriage.

"Okay, Miss Wen."

The three of them sat down. Wen Lengyan looked so tired that Han Yian felt distressed.

"Sister Wen, I see that you look a little off. Even though you're in this state, you're still the one taking care of the household affairs. Are the people in the Pei family crazy?"

After General Wen passed away, the people of the Pei family paid less and less attention to Wen Lengyan, but Wen Lengyan didn't care anymore. He just went along with it and lived his life like that.

"It's okay. You and I have been practicing martial arts since we were young, so doing this is no problem for us."

Wen Lengyan said this, but she was strong-willed and there were many facts that were not as she said to outsiders.

Lin Ting smelled a hint of musk on her body.

"Madam Wen, did you bring the sachet?"

Wen Lengyan straightened her back due to the pain. Since she became pregnant, she has never carried a sachet with her, and she has not used the perfumes that have been popular in Beijing recently.

"No, I never carry sachets."

Han Yian turned her head and looked at Lin Ting. She knew from Wan Weiran that Lin Ting knew some medical skills. Could it be that Lin Ting noticed that something was wrong with Sister Wen?

"Lin Ting, did you notice anything wrong with Sister Wen?"

Lin Ting nodded: "Madam Wen, do you always feel back pain, and it doesn't get better even when you lie down at night?

I took a lot of pregnancy-maintaining medicine, but I still felt weak and always felt that I was too tired from being pregnant.

And the fetus isn't very stable. You're clearly very strong, and you shouldn't be pregnant. But now you're getting weaker and weaker. Madam Wen has sensed this, right?"

Wen Lengyan felt guilty. She was used to being strong, so even if she was not feeling well, she would never say it out loud. Moreover, her husband would ask a doctor to take her pulse every now and then.

"Madam Lin, you're overthinking it. Isn't this normal for a pregnant woman?"

Pregnant women tend to get tired easily, but Han Yian felt that if it were normal, Lin Ting would not have asked the question just now.

"Sister Wen, Lin Ting also knows some medical skills. Why don't you let her take a look at you? You look so haggard, and I'm not at all worried."

Both families are military generals. Although the Wen family has fallen on hard times, it doesn't matter that they still have a good relationship.

Wen Lengyan did not hesitate and stretched out her hand in front of Lin Ting. She believed that she had her own doctor and there would not be any major problems with her body.

I'm so tired now, all because of my pregnancy.

After Lin Ting took Wen Lengyan's pulse, he found that the pulse was sinking, just as he expected.

Lin Ting himself never thought that his unintentional action this time would one day save her and even the entire Huayan.
