"No, Madam said the gift was too valuable, so she asked me to bring it back."

The old housekeeper, who had smiled kindly in front of Jiang Wumei just now, now spoke with fear in front of the man, as if the man was a ferocious beast that would choose anyone to devour.

"Go down.

Don’t go there for the next few days.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the old housekeeper nodded quickly, bowed, and left with the ginseng in his arms.

When Jiang Wumei saw Wanren, she walked around the mansion with Qingzhi to help digest the food.

After half an hour, the feeling of fullness disappeared, and she slowly turned around and returned to the yard.

Xu Junjun had already finished her meal and changed into men's clothes to make medicine. In the brightly candlelit room, she was holding the deer antlers and angelica sent by Mrs. Liu today, and was carefully checking the quality.

"came back?"

Xu Junjun looked focused. When she saw Jiang Wumei, she just looked up and greeted her, then lowered her head to get busy again.

The knife touched the herbs and Xu Junjun placed the licorice on the spread out medicine paper, his little face very serious.

Jiang Wumei nodded, sat aside and watched her actions, and asked Qingzhi to come forward to help pick the herbs.

The room became quiet. When Xu Junjun finished preparing the medicine and looked up, Jiang Wumei was sitting in a large soft chair, drinking wolfberry flower tea slowly.

"Hey, did I ask you just now, what is the steward doing here?"

When you concentrate on doing something, you will always ignore what is happening around you.

When Xu Junjun saw Jiang Wumei in a flash, she remembered that she had been back for a long time.

Jiang Wumei smiled and said:

“Nothing, he just came to give a gift.

But the gift was too expensive, so I declined it."

Xu Junjun blinked, puzzled:

"Why does everyone like to send gifts to our house? Is this a treasure trove?"

Jiang Wumei smiled brightly as she fiddled with the teacup lid with her fingertips:

"maybe.

However, I don’t accept gifts from everyone.

We don't know anything about this new couple, so how can we just take their things for no reason?"

Putting the comfrey leaves into the prescription, Xu Junjun nodded:

"You're right. You can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. It's better to be careful."

As she spoke, Xu Junjun remembered that she hadn't received a letter from Jiang Yuanzhou this month. She turned and stared at Jiang Wumei, wondering:

"According to the time, Brother Jiang should contact us this month, right?

How come it’s almost the end of the month and I still haven’t received his letter?

Could it be that he was sent out by Xiao Tong to do something and is no longer in the capital?"

In the second month after settling down in Yuncheng, Jiang Wumei sent a letter to Jiang Yuanzhou using the code agreed upon by the siblings and in the manner of a traveling friend.

When Jiang Yuanzhou saw the letter, he knew it was from her, and he also used a secret code to reply with a seemingly ordinary greeting letter.

But when Jiang Wumei received the letter, she learned that Xiao Tong had punished Zhao Qi and questioned Jiang Yuanzhou after she left.

Fortunately, Xiao Tong was distracted by the flood in the south and did not continue to pursue the responsibility. He just secretly added more people to look for her whereabouts.

Therefore, Jiang Yuanzhou asked her to relax and take good care of her health.

After the child is born, he will find a way to come to Yuncheng.

After the brother and sister made an agreement, they exchanged letters every two months.

By calculation, she should have received a letter from Jiang Yuanzhou by the middle of this month.

But until now, she hasn't seen any words, and she is a little worried.

"I don't know either, maybe something happened to me and I couldn't send the letter on time.

However, it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise I would have explained it in the letter I sent last time."

Xu Junjun tilted his head and thought for a while:

"I guess so. Brother Jiang is smart, so he won't suffer any loss.

If we wait a little longer, the letter might have arrived, but the delivery person or horse had diarrhea or some other minor accident, which caused the letter to be delivered a little late.

After Xu Junjun's joke, Jiang Wumei really stopped worrying and turned around to ask about the herbs in her hand.

Xu Junjun was busy explaining, and Qingzhi was always helping. The three of them were talking and laughing, and the scene was very pleasant.

The night spreads thickly.

When the time came, Jiang Wumei yawned and went to bed with Qingzhi's help.

She lowered the bed curtains, blew out most of the candles, leaving only one lit, and made sure that the gaps between the windows in the room were not large before Qingzhi tiptoed out of the room.

Xu Junjun's room was next door. She had been busy in the pharmacy all day and made medicine when she returned home. After washing up, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed.

Unless there is thunder outside, she won't be easily awakened.

The night breeze blew gently, and the candlelight in Jiang Wumei's room flickered, and there was an extra person in the room.

The man was very tall, wearing a dark brocade robe, and slowly approached the bed.

A big hand with distinct joints lifted the bed curtain, and Jiang Wumei's beautiful face as beautiful as a peach appeared in his eyes. The man sat down on the edge of the bed, and his big hand caressed her bulging belly lovingly. Finally, he stared at her thinner face and frowned deeply.

The faint sweet scent of osmanthus in the courtyard intertwined with the lotus fragrance on Jiang Wumei's body and stained the man's robe. The man seemed unaware, and his pair of dark eyes were fixed on the person sleeping peacefully on the bed, as if he wanted to engrave her face at this moment in his heart, to comfort himself from the lovesickness he had suffered in the past few months.

Jiang Wumei was completely unaware of what was happening. Halfway through her sleep, she felt uncomfortable and turned over in a daze, facing the inside of the bed.

But she is too pregnant now and it is inconvenient for her to turn over.

As soon as her shoulders turned, her stomach felt very heavy. She frowned, as if she was annoyed even in her sleep.

Just when she was about to give up, a force suddenly came from her waist, gently and powerfully supporting her waist and gently turning her over.

The posture was comfortable, and Jiang Wumei's brows relaxed instantly. She hugged the soft quilt, rubbed her little face twice, and continued to fall asleep.

The next morning, Qingzhi called Jiang Wumei to get up and have breakfast.

While drinking porridge, Jiang Wumei glanced at the big bed, remembering the heat in her waist when she was half asleep and half awake last night, and looked at Qingzhi:

"Did you come into the room after I fell asleep last night?"

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes, I came to see you last night after I slept until midnight.

You were sleeping soundly at that time, so I didn't make any noise to disturb you."

Jiang Wumei suddenly realized that the person she felt last night was Qingzhi. No wonder...

what.

Jiang Wumei felt something was wrong again. Qingzhi seemed to be talking about the second half of the night, but she felt that he had clearly fallen asleep not long ago.

She was about to ask again when Xu Junjun rushed in like a whirlwind, with her clothes half pulled up, and sat down next to Jiang Wumei, muttering to herself, "It's too late, it's too late."

As he spoke, he stuffed buns into his mouth.

Jiang Wumei quickly placed another bowl of shredded chicken porridge next to her and said with a smile:

“What’s too late?

Isn't it still early at this hour?"

Xu Junjun's cheeks puffed up and he shook his head:

"A lady has already made an appointment to see a doctor today, and she also said that I must come secretly in the morning.

I was late. If she had left, the two hundred taels of medical fee would have been wasted."

Jiang Wumei was helpless:

"Then why didn't you tell Qingzhi last night and ask her to call you earlier."

"I forgot..."

Xu Junjun said this with a bitter face, and then finished a bowl of porridge in four or five mouthfuls. He picked up two buns and ran while chewing them:

"Niao Niao, time is running out, I'm leaving first.

I'll take care of the medicine shop today, and I'll close it tomorrow and come back to accompany you~"
