After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Upon hearing Jiang Yuyue bring up the matter of the bedchamber again, Xie Jinglan casually flicked his sleeve, his tone seemingly indifferent.

"Is that really what you think, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Yuyue: "...Of course."

Xie Jinglan looked her up and down: "You'd better be."

Jiang Yuyue seemed annoyed by his gaze and turned her face away.

When did it become his turn to flirt with me?

Then, recalling the scene of Xie Jinglan forcibly administering medicine during the day, she became even angrier. "I was injured because I was worried about you. How could you be so rude to a patient? You really have no empathy at all!"

Hearing this, Xie Jinglan glanced at her, then lazily smiled and said,

"If I didn't force you to take it, would you have taken the medicine so easily? I thought you didn't know you were a patient. You have no empathy for forcing you to take medicine, but you have empathy for watching you die?"

Although there was a hint of sarcasm in her words, Jiang Yuyue could easily sense the concern in them. Thinking of this, she raised an eyebrow and her eyes sparkled.

“If you are really worried about my injuries, there are other ways besides forcing me to drink it.”

Jiang Yuyue glanced at Xie Jinglan's thin lips, seemingly unintentionally. "If you were willing to feed me with your mouth, I suppose I wouldn't resist."

She was certain that Xie Jinglan was only talking and wouldn't dare to actually do it.

Besides, even if she did it, so what? It would only benefit her.

She was trying to hypnotize herself.

Just then, Xiao Liu came in carrying a bowl of medicine. Seeing that she was awake, she was overjoyed.

She was about to say a few words of concern, but when Xiao Liu saw Xie Jinglan and her young mistress sitting on the edge of the bed in an ambiguous, almost leaning-together position, she immediately lowered her eyes and dared not look any longer. She simply handed the medicine to Xie Jinglan.

"The medicine for Miss is ready. Please trouble the Third Young Master to help Miss take it."

After saying this, Xiao Liu turned and left. Seeing her strange behavior, Jiang Yuyue realized that she and Xie Jinglan were getting a little too close.

No wonder this girl didn't dare to look at him for more than a second.

Despite the strong, strange smell of the herbal medicine, Jiang Yuyue's resistance remained. She understood the saying that good medicine tastes bitter, but this was definitely not something she could easily drink.

"Take your medicine."

Xie Jinglan, holding the bowl of medicine, helped Jiang Yuyue sit up slightly. "Do you want me to help you, or will you drink it yourself?"

"help me?"

Jiang Yuyue raised an eyebrow. "How do you plan to help? If you still want to force-feed, then forget it. But if it's like what I just said..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Jinglan picked up the medicine bowl, tilted his head back, and took a mouthful of the medicine. His other large hand then firmly supported the back of her head.

The next second, cool, thin lips covered her delicate lips. Before Jiang Yuyue could react, the bitter medicine was poured into her mouth. Their lips intertwined, forcefully compelling her to swallow the medicine before it would stop.

As their lips slowly parted, Jiang Yuyue's face was slightly flushed from the difficulty in breathing, and her chest heaved slightly. Looking at the culprit who seemed completely unaffected, a hint of surprise flashed in her hazy eyes.

They still seemed unable to believe that what had just happened was real.

But the lingering warmth on her lips proved that all of this was real.

"So, that thing we agreed on before... you're agreeing to it?"

Jiang Yuyue touched her flushed cheeks, not forgetting to press her advantage.

The so-called "thing" was naturally her desire to have a child with Xie Jinglan. She had been pleading and cajoling for a whole month, but Xie Jinglan still hadn't given in.

"Ah."

Xie Jinglan looked at her rosy cheeks with a deep gaze and gave a faint reply.

agreed?

Jiang Yuyue coughed lightly, but the brilliance in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Finally, hard work pays off! Xie Jinglan, that iron tree, has finally blossomed!

"However, I haven't thought about the conditions we agreed on yet. I'll keep them for now and tell you when I've thought them through."

Xie Jinglan put down the medicine bowl and stood up as he said this, "Drink the rest of your medicine yourself."

Jiang Yuyue had thoroughly enjoyed that kiss earlier, and although the feeling of taking medicine was far from pleasant, she wasn't entirely opposed to it if Xie Jinglan were willing to feed her like this. She immediately winked at him.

"If you don't keep feeding me, I won't drink anymore."

"If you don't drink it, your body won't recover for a long time."

Xie Jinglan finally knew how to handle her. "If your health isn't good, how can you have a child?"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue could only sigh. It seems that everything in this world comes at a price.

After Xie Jinglan left the room, Xiao Liu hurriedly slipped in. As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Yuyue drinking her medicine in a bowl by herself, and thought she was seeing things.

"The young lady actually drank the medicine herself!"

Xiaoliu was overjoyed, "In that case, Miss's injuries will surely heal in a few days!"

Jiang Yuyue pinched her nose and finally finished drinking the medicine. Xiao Liu quickly served her tea to rinse her mouth. When she thought that Xie Jinglan had actually given in, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but smile.

"Miss?"

Seeing her young mistress suddenly laugh for no apparent reason, Xiao Liu couldn't help but worry that she had gone mad from drinking the medicine, and quickly asked,

"Miss? What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuyue did not answer her question, but instead began to plan something else.

"Xiaoliu, do you remember when my last period ended?"

When she asked about this, Xiaoliu immediately counted on her fingers.

"It should have been seven days ago."

Seven days ago?

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yuyue realized that her most fertile period should be... in three days?

So fast?

It's unclear how well her injuries have healed in three days, but even if they haven't fully healed, this matter really can't be delayed any longer.

It has been almost a month since Xie Yunqi's "death" was reported. A difference of one or two months in pregnancy is not noticeable, but if it continues to be delayed, it will really be out of sync with Xie Yunqi's timeline.

Three days it is. It seems she'll have to take the medicine obediently.

"Xiao Liu, come here."

Jiang Yuyue gestured for Xiao Liu to come closer and said mysteriously, "Go buy me something."

Upon seeing this, Xiaoliu immediately put her ear closer, but when she heard Jiang Yuyue mention the object, she was shocked.

"A erotic picture book?!"

Xiaoliu was shocked, and then realized that she had spoken too loudly, so she quickly covered her mouth.

It's no wonder that Jiang Yuyue needed to buy such a thing. After all, although she married Xie Yunqi, he refused to consummate the marriage on the grounds of impotence. Therefore, they did not have the actual act of marriage. Jiang Yuyue really had no experience in this matter, so she naturally wanted to find out about it first.

Seeing Jiang Yuyue's overjoyed expression, Xiao Liu's gaze was complicated, and she couldn't help but speak up to dissuade her.

“Miss, you’re confused! Even if you’re going to choose another husband, you should find someone healthy! This third young master can walk now, but he’s still sickly and won’t live much longer. How can you entrust yourself to such a person? Besides, he’s from the Xie family…”
