Xiqiu didn’t deny Nanny Cen’s words, and asked with a smile, "Where is Kun, how come only you have returned?"

"He’s in my room reading a book." Zhi was still puzzled by Nanny Cen’s words: "What do you mean by adding a little brother?"

The people behind laughed, Fourth Master Xiao frowned and said, "Go eat, don’t bother your mother while she’s resting." Zhi pouted, not daring to argue back: "Oh!" with a full face of confusion.

"Go, have lunch with Kun." Xiqiu touched his face, "Mother is fine!"

Zhi nodded, furrowed his brow tightly, exited the room, ran back to pull Kun and asked, "Kun, my mother is going to give me a little brother, why haven’t I seen him?"

Kun was also stunned, then rolled his eyes at Zhi: "Dummy!" After speaking, he lowered his head to read a book.

Not getting the answer he wanted, Zhi of course had to continue asking: "What do you mean?" Kun was asked several times, and finally, annoyed, replied, "Little brother is in your mother’s belly; in ten months, he’ll come out."

Zhi was shocked, instinctively touched his own belly, realizing for the first time this problem, a child like him will come out of his mom’s skinny belly: "In ten months, I’ll see him?"

Kun nodded and added explanation: "Xing was born from my mother’s belly." Then continued: "In a few days, your mother’s belly will slowly get bigger, and then a child will come out."

Zhi’s eyes widened in both shock and wonder, he lowered his head, lost in thought, walked outside, muttering: "...So it was in the belly." Suddenly, he started running.

Ran all the way back to Xiqiu’s room: "Mom, mom!"

The dishes were cleared, Xiqiu was drinking tea when Zhi ran over, Fourth Master Xiao quickly blocked him, but Zhi didn’t look at his father, he just stared at Xiqiu’s belly.

Xiqiu was puzzled by his gaze: "What’s wrong?"

"Inside here..." Zhi pointed at Xiqiu’s belly: "Is there really a little brother?"

Xiqiu laughed, gestured to Zhi and held him, saying: "I don’t know if it’s a little brother, but he’s indeed inside. He’s still very small now; you have to wait ten months to see him!"

Sure enough, just as Kun said, Zhi extended his hand to touch Xiqiu’s abdomen but pulled back, scared, and seriously looked at Xiqiu: "Then, can it be a sister?"

Xiqiu was taken aback: "Why a sister?"

"Have a sister first and then a brother!" Zhi thought for a while, felt that if it were a sister, she would talk to him daily like Xing does, anyway, more interesting than Kun: "Just decided, have a sister first and then a brother!" thinking this Zhi laughed, waved to Xiqiu: "I’m going to eat."

Figured things out, feeling cheerful, Zhi hopped out of the room.

Leaving Xiqiu and Fourth Master Xiao exchanging amused glances!

Feeling joyous, Zhi exited, noticing the entire Man Mansion vibrant with joy, everyone wore smiles, making him even happier, stepping lightly. Seeing Ruan Jingliu approaching, he greeted with a smile: "Hello, aunt!"

"Hmm." Before Ruan Jingliu spoke, Zhi happily said: "I’m going to have a sister and a brother." In his mind, having one or two is achievable by wishful thinking.

Want as many as you can have!

Ruan Jingliu raised her brows, chuckled, entered the room, Fourth Master Xiao had already gone to the outer courtyard, she sat by Xiqiu’s bed, asked: "What’s up with Zhi?"

Xiqiu laughed and told her about Zhi’s recent words and deeds, Ruan Jingliu couldn’t help but laugh.

After chatting for a while, Xiqiu suddenly asked: "What’s wrong, are you worried?"

"No." Ruan Jingliu instinctively denied, Xiqiu smiled: "You’re not convincing to me."

Ruan Jingliu thought for a moment, took out a few pieces of paper from her pocket, neatly folded, Xiqiu puzzled, took and opened them to see, then revealed surprise: "Written by Second Master Qin?" flipped to the property deed: "What does he mean?"

"Don’t know." Ruan Jingliu seemed a bit irritated: "Whatever he wants to do, none of my business!"

Xiqiu looked at the letter several times, puzzled: "...No mention of returning, nor explain the property deed’s meaning." This Second Master Qin’s intentions are unclear to her as well.

"You’re fine, I’ll leave, take care for a few days, stop taking the medicine." Ruan Jingliu stood up, Xiqiu responded: "Hmm, let Tiancheng send you."

Ruan Jingliu put the letter back, went out alone, Tiancheng drove the carriage out of the Governor Mansion, was stopped by a child as soon as they left, dressed in rags holding a broken bowl, unabashedly asked loudly: "Excuse me, are you Nurse Zhang?"

Tiancheng scolded: "Kid, move aside, don’t block the way!"

"I’m looking for Nurse Zhang." As he said this, he bypassed Tiancheng and came over to the window, throwing something inside without asking, "He is seriously injured, please go quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed away.

Ruan Jingliu picked up the item that was thrown in by the child; it was a pocket. She immediately recognized it as the pocket she had thrown to Qin Yuanfeng two years ago, after which he disappeared. Now this pocket was in front of her again. Ruan Jingliu opened it, the pocket was empty, but a faint scent of blood seeped out.

Is he really injured?

She sensitively smelled it, and Tiancheng outside asked, "Medical woman, are you alright?"

"Go to East Long Street," Ruan Jingliu quickly said while clutching the pocket tightly, "Quickly!"

Tiancheng didn’t know what was going on, but hearing her tense tone, he didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly drove the carriage swiftly to East Long Street.

It was the house on the property deed, Ruan Jingliu got out of the carriage at the door, the gatekeeper woman saw her and didn’t ask who she was, directly and silently greeted her, leading her into the inner courtyard.

Ruan Jingliu turned back to Tiancheng and said, "You go back first." Ignoring Tiancheng’s worried eyes, she quickly followed the woman into the gate.

The house wasn’t very big, divided into inner and outer courtyards, a refreshing scent greeted the eyes, but it was not the usual flowers, rather medical herbs that could be used!

She didn’t look much, and proceeded all the way into the inner courtyard, filled with artificial mountains and flowing water, pavilions and buildings rich and grand, making her slightly surprised. The woman, with a lowered head, led her through a maze of paths into an Yimen, and then through a Ruyi Gate, only to see a courtyard facing south, unlike the glazed tiles and glass windows, flower beds, and rockery seen before. Here, it was thatched roof, fence-enclosed walls, with a rustic charm.

The woman finally stopped, "Madam, please!"

Ruan Jingliu nodded slightly, not bothering to question the woman’s address for her, pushed open the gate made of fence, followed the blue stone path in the courtyard, passed a giant donkey grinding stone, and entered the main house.

The main hall had bamboo furniture, the walls were hung with interestingly crafted cloaks and capes, and the beams held hoes and other farming tools, clearly resembling a farmer’s courtyard.

She looked and seemed to recognize the scene as familiar.

In a daze, she remembered, it was six years ago, the house of the farmer she borrowed from in Jiangnan, only this place was more exquisite.

It was also where she and Qin Yuanfeng met.

At the time she stood in the courtyard, with Wan’er sunning the herbs collected from the mountain, someone suddenly called to her across the fence wall, "Madame, passing by here, may I have a bowl of water?"

Never having been called "madame" before, Ruan Jingliu glared angrily and saw a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth standing outside the courtyard. The young man, seeing her appearance clearly, was also taken aback, stared for a while before smiling, revealing a set of white teeth, and smiled even more clean and transparent, "Miss, may I have a bowl of water?"

Naturally, she did not answer him, only let Wan’er pour him a bowl of water, then closed the door!

It was a trivial matter she did not take to heart, but did not expect the next day, he was carried back by the owner from the foot of the mountain, with his face full of blood marks...

Since then, he stayed on the pretext of not being healed.

All day, he followed her like a tail that couldn’t be shaken off, even after she left that place, she often "encountered" him elsewhere.

Thinking of this, Ruan Jingliu couldn’t help shaking her head, and looked again at the decoration in front!

"Qin Yuanfeng!" She called softly, with a slight anger, "Come out!" After speaking, she walked to the other side and opened the door, inside was simply a bed, cabinet, table, and chairs, there was no one. She opened another room and immediately stood frozen.

There she saw a room filled with dazzling red, a pair of large happy words pasted on the front, below the table laid a pile of Dragon and Phoenix Candles, burning slowly and fragrantly, beside a large bed covered with a Mandarin Duck Quilt, scattered with red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts...

She couldn’t help but walk in, a treasure cabinet was placed in the corner of the wall, the cabinet was filled with a variety of dazzling things, but all were familiar to her.

On the dressing table were laid jewelry, medical books were placed on the cabinet beside the bed.

All were her daily items.

How could they be here?

Her gaze slowly moved over, seeing a screen, on the screen lay a piece of fiery red wedding dress, the fiery color made her involuntarily step back.

Suddenly, a barely audible sound of footsteps sounded at the door.

Before she could turn her head, suddenly her waist tightened.

A pair of long and strong arms enclosed her, at her neck sprayed hot breath, ambiguously making her heart suddenly jump extremely fast.
