The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

Inside the bamboo garden, after Nanny Gui led Qinghong Cuiwei to collect and place the gifts sent to Nanny and the other two, Lin Yuan, who was hiding behind a screen, immediately bowed and said in the direction of Li Shu, "Subordinate Lin Yuan greets the young lady."

His voice was very soft, and it reached Li Shu's ears from a considerable distance, but it seemed as if he was speaking next to her ear, which scared Li Shu who was secretly thinking about something.

Fortunately, she had been tempered by the dream last night. Although she was frightened and her heart was pounding, she did not show any shock on her face.

Then, when Lin Yuan came out from behind the screen, she looked at his perfect face, which was as outstanding as any man she had ever seen. She blinked slowly and asked, "When did you come?"

"About half an hour."

"..."

So he arrived when Aunt Gui came back?

Li Shu frowned slightly, and Lin Yuan immediately stepped in front of her and knelt on one knee to apologize, "I entered the young lady's bedroom without her permission and overheard her conversation with others. Please punish me!"

In response, Li Shu said, "Get up. Since you are here to protect me, most of my words and actions will be under your observation from now on. I have no reason to punish you."

"Yes!"

Lin Yuan stood up in response.

Li Shu tilted her head slightly to look him in the eye, thinking to herself, he's really tall! He's half a head taller than Ning Jin, her father, and her brothers! When he emerged from behind the screen just now, her attention had been completely drawn to his striking features, completely ignoring his height!

The Dingbei Marquis Mansion was heavily guarded, and he was able to sneak in in broad daylight. So what Kong Sanniang said about his skills being ranked number one in the capital must be somewhat credible!

but……

She needs more than just a bodyguard who can protect her closely...

However, Kong Sanniang's departure from the capital was a matter of life and death, so she couldn't possibly stop him and have a detailed discussion...

Thinking of this, Li Shu frowned subconsciously again.

Lin Yuan held his breath, his mind racing as Li Shu's beautiful eyes, filled with admiration, worry, embarrassment, and a touch of sadness, gazed at him. He soon guessed what Li Shu was thinking and hurriedly said, "Young lady, you may not know that Sanniang treats me like her own child. Not only has she spared no effort in cultivating me, she also places great trust in me. As a result, my status in Peacock Terrace is second only to Sanniang's. Therefore, I can not only protect you, but I can also do anything for you."

"Anything...are you serious?"

"Absolutely true! No matter how difficult the task is, I will unite the entire building to accomplish it for you, young lady!"

"The power of the entire building..."

"Miss, you may not know that our Peacock Terrace was once called Peacock Tower. Later, our master changed it to Peacock Terrace, saying that it sounded more majestic."

"..."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows.

He didn't even ask if their master was Kong Sanniang, but immediately said, "I have several things to do right now."

"Please give your orders, young lady."

"First, I need a few skilled maids."

"That's easy. We have many women with good martial arts skills in our building. I wonder how many specifically do you need, young lady?"

"Um……"

Li Shu thought for a moment and said, "Seven or eight, please. Choose them for me first, and then have them come to the Marquis' Mansion when the time is right."

"Yes!"

"Secondly, I need to spread some news in the capital, and I need the right person."

"We have the right person in our building. Miss, you only need to tell me the specific news you want to spread."

"Really? Then I'll write it all down for you later."

"it is good!"

"Third..."

Li Shu lowered her eyes and placed her hand on her abdomen.

Lin Yuan followed her gaze and looked at her delicate hand gently stroking her abdomen, and his eyes suddenly became solemn.

As far as they knew, after the young lady and her husband got married three years ago, the husband did not consummate the marriage with her on the wedding night because the young lady was afraid. Not long after that, the husband went to war with his father. After returning to Beijing a year ago, he often had conflicts with the young lady because of Xie Yu, and it was not until two months ago that he finally consummated the marriage with her.

Calculate the time...

I’m afraid the lady is pregnant!

And the young lady fell into the water with Xie Yu yesterday!

In addition to his excellent martial arts skills, he was also very skilled in medicine. He immediately wanted to take Li Shu's pulse to confirm whether she had caught a cold and whether the baby in her belly was affected.

But before he could take action, Li Shu looked up at him and said with a firm look in her eyes, "I need an abortion pill."

"W-what? Abortion pills? Shouldn't they be pregnancy-preserving pills?"

"..."

Facing Lin Yuan's astonished questions, Li Shu smiled bitterly and said, "It's an abortion drug."

Lin Yuan was stunned and speechless.

The young lady and her brother-in-law are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship.

Even though many conflicts and unhappiness arose after the son-in-law brought Xie Yu back to Beijing, it shouldn't have come to the point of aborting the baby in the womb!

unless……

What's wrong with the lady's body...

Or maybe there's something wrong with the baby in my belly...

Thinking about this, Lin Yuan knelt on one knee again, raised his hands and said, "I have some knowledge of medicine. Please let me take your pulse. Perhaps I can help you recover."

Get in shape?

Li Shu looked at him and frowned.

After realizing that he mistakenly thought she didn't want the baby because she was ill, she didn't explain but put her wrist on his hand as he said.

She started learning medicine after she learned from Ning Jin last year that he had suffered a serious injury that nearly killed him two years ago.

Although she studied very hard, just like learning martial arts, she didn't seem to have a talent for medicine.

Although he could feel the pulse of a pregnant woman, he could not tell whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

And she wanted to make one last confirmation.

If she really was pregnant with twins...

She must abandon all hope of luck and try her best to change her future!

Lin Yuan's hands, like Ning Jin's, have thick calluses.

So when his fingers rested on her wrist, their presence was quite obvious, and she couldn't help but look at his hand several times.

Then she was inexplicably attracted to his hand.

Because Ning Jin's hands have always been the most beautiful in her eyes, but Lin Yuan's hands are obviously more beautiful than Ning Jin's.

Then, in terms of appearance, height, and even martial arts, Lin Yuan seemed to be better than Ning Jin...

I don't know why he was abandoned in a mass grave when he was young...

Seeing that Li Shu's thoughts were about to drift further and further away, Lin Yuan, who had been taking her pulse for a long time with a focused and careful expression, spoke up, "Young lady is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, for over two months. The fetus is currently very stable, and apart from a slight cold, there are no other problems with your body. I don't understand why you want to abort the fetus instead of keeping it..."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he looked at Li Shu with a puzzled look on his face. He saw the sadness in Li Shu's eyes grow even deeper. He hesitated for a moment, and before Li Shu could speak, he changed his tone and said, "If the young lady has made up her mind, I will personally prepare an abortion drug for her, minimizing the damage to her body as much as possible, and will also carefully take care of her health afterwards."

"Well, let's go."

"Yes."

Lin Yuan stood up in response and climbed out the window in the blink of an eye.

Li Shu looked at the window where his figure had disappeared and pursed her lips. She thought to herself, "How great it is to know martial arts! You can come and go without a trace!"

Why doesn't she have the talent for martial arts?

At the same time, in Tongxin Garden, a somewhat restless Ning Jin walked out of Xie Yu's room and immediately asked Ning Ge and Ning Ji, "What is Shushu doing right now?"

"After lunch, Madam met with Nanny Xiang, and then stayed alone in her room."

"Did she have lunch?"

She actually has an appetite for lunch today?

In the past, after they quarreled about Yu'er, she had no appetite at all!

One time, she hadn't eaten properly for several days, and she looked much thinner and more haggard. He felt so distressed that he bowed his head and apologized, and then reconciled with her...

Ning Jin had a stern face and knitted his brows tightly, trying his best to ignore the thought in his mind that 'there's no way to make peace with her this time'.

Ning Ge, after quietly elbowing Ning Ji several times without success, could only bite the bullet and say, "It is said that Madam has a very good appetite today and has eaten more than usual..."
