May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

This secluded and tranquil place is located halfway up the mountain. The upper part of the path is rugged and difficult to walk, but since we've come all this way, we naturally want to explore the mountain and the valley.

So the next day, the whole family began preparing to go up the mountain.

"I heard there's a thousand-year-old giant tree on the mountain, and wishes made there are very effective. We have to climb it today no matter what!" Madam Wen, dressed in a smart outfit, was eager to try.

Madam Wen glanced at her helplessly, then looked at Old Madam Wen: "Mother, if you get tired halfway, we can take a rest."

Madam Wen raised an eyebrow: "You should say that to Yuan Shu."

Although she is getting on in years, she still maintains the habit of practicing martial arts every day to stretch her muscles and bones, so her physical strength is not too bad.

Of the whole family, Wen Yuanshu was the least active and naturally had the worst physical strength.

Madam Wen chuckled and raised an eyebrow at Wen Yuanshu: "Yuanshu, just say so if you're tired. Someone like you could easily carry one of them up with your arms!"

"Second sister-in-law, even if Yuan Shu is tired, I'll take care of her. What are you trying to take?" Lu Chengyuan sneered.

He is Wen Yuanshu's rightful husband. If he doesn't step up now, when will he? How can he let Madam Wen steal his chance?

Madam Wen rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.

“Qinglan,” a voice suddenly rang out, “tell me if you’re tired.”

Yang Xun looked at Wen Qinglan with eager eyes.

He did want to carry Wen Qinglan up with him, but he was also aware of his own limitations, so he didn't want to embarrass himself.

Wen Qinglan forced a weak smile, her face pale.

She didn't want to come.

Having suffered a miscarriage before, she was extremely concerned about this pregnancy. However, she couldn't resist Yang Xun's insistence that this was a rare opportunity to strengthen ties with the Wen and Lu families, so he brought her along after all.

Wen Yuanshu looked at her and said, "Qinglan, you should rest well today."

Wen Qinglan forced a smile, but didn't know what to say.

Yang Xunshun chimed in, "Isn't this a rare opportunity? The whole family is out having fun, and Qinglan doesn't want to be left out."

His words were clearly not what Wen Qinglan truly meant.

Lu Chengyuan sneered and said, "This is truly the first time I've ever seen a wife who is pregnant and still has to be dragged by her husband to climb a mountain. It's best if nothing happens along the way, otherwise the Wen family's bloodline will be broken twice in your hands."

As soon as Lu Chengyuan finished speaking, Yang Xun's expression changed slightly.

Madam Wen's face suddenly turned cold: "Chengyuan is right. Qinglan is carrying a child of the Wen family bloodline. The Wen family has already lost one child. If we lose this one as well, I will have to have a word with your Yang family."

After Madam Wen finished speaking, Yang Xun completely gave up on his thoughts.

He knew perfectly well that it was inappropriate to take a pregnant woman hiking, but he did it anyway in order to get closer to the Wen and Lu families.

They had thought the atmosphere today would be pleasant, with the family chatting and laughing together, but they hadn't expected that because Wen Qinglan was pregnant, the Wen family wouldn't allow her to climb the mountain at all.

However, now that things have come to this point, if Yang Xun insists on his own way and causes something to happen to Wen Qinglan, he cannot bear the responsibility.

Helpless, seeing that they had already reached the foot of the mountain, Yang Xun had no choice but to take Wen Qinglan back.

After the two left, the group exchanged glances and then jokingly walked up the mountain.

-

Going up and down, half a day passed in no time.

Everyone was planning to go back and rest for a while, but to their surprise, as soon as they came down the mountain, Madam Yang had already ordered a vegetarian meal to be prepared, just waiting for them to return so they could eat.

That's good too. Everyone is starving after a long day. Filling their stomachs early will allow them to relax sooner.

As everyone gathered together, Old Madam Yang's gaze swept over each and every one of them.
