In December, the Zhao family had already started purchasing some New Year items, and new clothes and quilts were also delivered to Li Mofu's house.

Huang Jin brought back Eleven Monk Nine, who had been on his way, and brought many supplements for Wang Ruiyan, as well as a new saddle for Li Mofu.

Eleven and Monk Nine were assigned by Mo Yi to the old lady and Wang Ruiyan respectively. There were not many people left in their mansion, and the people on the gold side had to run around, so it was difficult to spare any manpower.

Wang Ruiyan's due date is approaching, and her room is kept warm at all times. The midwife and doctor are also invited to live in the hospital, for fear that she will be frightened and confused if she gives birth two or three days prematurely.

The ground was slippery in winter, so Mo Yi didn't let Li Mofu continue riding a horse. Instead, he encouraged him to exercise more.

But in such a cold day, exercising is almost like filtering out air conditioning. Sometimes Li Mofu would get a belly full of cold air after exercising.

In mid-December, Huang Jin brought Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng new news from the border. Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng's faces changed drastically after hearing it. They hesitated for a long time and didn't know whether to tell Wang Ruiyan and the old lady.

Wang Ruiyan was nearing her due date and was very fragile, and the old lady was too old to tolerate any stimulation.

However, now they are the only ones who can take charge of the Marquis' Mansion. If they don't know about it, how can they support the Marquis' Mansion?

They can't wait until the news spreads among the people before they learn about it from the people below.

After much deliberation, Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng finally decided to tell Wang Ruiyan about this matter first. As for whether to tell the old lady, it would be up to Wang Ruiyan to decide whether to tell her or not.

When Li Mofu learned about this, he was very curious, so he stopped Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng to ask. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu ran away with an excuse and said, "I really have something to do! Go ask Zuo Zheng, he knows everything!"

After saying that, Zhao Xu ran away without looking back.

"What?!" Zuo Zheng never expected that Zhao Xu would abandon him and run away. He looked at the direction Zhao Xu left in surprise, then turned around and saw Li Mofu with dead fish eyes squinting and staring at him seriously.

"What happened?" Li Mofu was puzzled. "You all told Wang Ruiyan why didn't you tell me?"

Zuo Zheng smiled awkwardly at Li Mofu, looked away, and suddenly tried to run but was stopped by Li Mofu who pounced on him and grabbed his calf.

"What's the matter?! Is there anything you can't tell me?!" Li Mofu hugged Zuo Zheng's calf and shouted.

"...Alas." Zuo Zheng was completely helpless. He pressed his forehead and felt a headache.

Logically speaking, he could naturally use force to shake Li Mofu off, but there was no need to do so.

"Oh, you head!" Li Mofu was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he wanted to bite Zuo Zheng's calf.

Zuo Zheng squatted down and patted Li Mofu's hand that was holding his calf. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I'm just afraid you can't bear it."

Li Mofu narrowed his eyes, holding Zuo Zheng's calf tightly, and asked, "Did something happen to Lu Mingyun?"

"...Yeah." Zuo Zheng nodded.

Li Mofu finally let go of his hand and got up from the ground. "What happened? Tell me."

Zuo Zheng sighed and stood up, saying seriously, "I'm telling you, don't faint."

Li Mofu pursed his lips, "Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!"

Zuo Zheng pursed his lips, scratched his head, and organized his words for a while before telling the latest news from the northwest frontier in a tactful way.

Marquis Wu'an retreated to command behind the scenes, Lu Fengning was ready to fight on behalf of Marquis Wu'an at any time, and Lu Mingyun led one-third of the soldiers to chase an army that had ambushed them and then escaped.

The army that attacked them had a clear target and went straight to the road where grain was transported, causing them considerable losses.

Marquis Wu'an immediately decided to send troops to capture this army, believing that they must have one of their own who knew about the grain transportation.
