Mrs Xiao was stunned, she raised her head and looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong with this medicine?" "Dong mama."
Dong mama slowly withdrew the medicine and said, "Madam, this medicine seems a little cold. We'll have to wait a bit before drinking it."
"What did I think it was? It's not cold, it's just right for that." As she spoke, the Xiao family raised their heads and drank the thick and black medicinal liquid.
Senior Servant Dong handed one of the candied fruits to her, but Madame Xiao covered her mouth to finish it, then handed her hand over. "Let me see, my pulse isn't the best time to get pregnant right now."
"Yes." Dong mama lowered her head and placed her hand on Lady Xiao's wrist. After a while, her finger lightly twitched and she asked, "Madam, you've been drinking medicine for a month, right?"
"Almost a month and a half. How about it?" The Xiao family's old patriarch nervously asked.
Recently, she'd gone to Auntie Ling's place to oppress her, so she didn't dare say anything. But after a while, she was afraid of attracting gossip.
"Now is a good time to conceive, but can we succeed …"
"It will definitely succeed. I believe in this saying. If a man wins against the heavens, then I won't believe it even if I die without a son." Madame Xiao cut off Dong mama's words, saying that she couldn't care less about anything since she was anxious to beg for her son.
"Then... Madam will try it again. "
At Fu'an Institution, Lian Ruyue came to the First Madam for her usual meal. It was another table full of Lian Ruoyue's and Lian Fu's favorite meals.
"Speaking of which, it has been some time since Yi'er came to my place with you. Every time she comes, she just leaves in a hurry. She doesn't even have time for me to ask her a few more questions." The two of them sat at the table and ate. However, the place where Lian Fu sat was empty.
"Mother, now that he is old and has a world of his own, he naturally won't stick to both of us like he used to." Lian Ruyue ate a piece of sweet duck and her mother did not know that she had learned the art, so this was the only way to comfort her.
"Yue-er is right, I've grown up, but I'm still a girl. I'm old now, and I have my own matters to take care of. In another year or two, I'll have to marry and have my own children." The first wife sighed with heartfelt emotion.
"Yeah, if there's a suitable girl in the family now, I can help her take care of it." Even Ru Yue could not help but sigh. She remembered that it had been almost a year since her rebirth, when Gu'er had broken into her world like a gust of wind in the residence of the sea beasts.
"I don't have any other requests for Yi'er. It's not that I want him to become outstanding, nor do I want him to be like your father and be an outstanding official. As long as he can live a peaceful life, he'll be fine."
"But, our tricks might not be as simple as mother thinks." Lian Ruyue said.
The First Wife sighed, thinking back to the past and how she had said, "Fine, everything has its limits, I can't force anything."
"Oh, right. Mother, do you have any greetings from Aunt Ling these days?" Lian Ruyue asked.
"Previously, when I came every day, I didn't come for the past two days. However, I also sent my wife over, saying that she wasn't feeling very well. I instructed that Guo mama to send for Doctor Lu to have a look." The first lady was still satisfied with Auntie Ling for the time being. Although she was doted on, she didn't flatter her. This was the benefit of a small family.
Lian Ru Yue revealed a faint smile. "Mother, father likes her. You should send more things over to her."
The mother and daughter finished their meal and spoke a few more words before the first wife took her afternoon nap. Lian Xiyue watched as she slept before leaving Fuan Courtyard.
After leaving Fuan Courtyard.
Lian Ruyue looked at the sky and asked, "Qingdai, what time is it now?"
"Eldest Miss, it's the right time."
"Let's go to Wen Hua Yuan to take a look."
When they arrived at Wen Hua Yuan, they saw a few servants and servants fixing flower beds in the garden. However, they didn't see any sign of Zhang Tie's shadow.
"Where's the Young Master?" Lian Ruyue asked.
The maidservant bowed and said, "Eldest Miss, Young Master will go to the academy at dawn and will only return when it is dark. He won't be here even during the day."
"Oh." Lian Ru Yue nodded her head and looked into the room where Lian Lian Fang was. All the furnishings were normal, but for some reason, there was a sense of desolation.
Lian Ru Yue's gaze gradually darkened. In fact, she felt it herself. This time, after the two of them used to practice, they were no longer as casual as before. The number of times they used to practice with her gradually decreased.
Especially after the visit of the ninth prince and the eleventh princess, he had disappeared without a trace.
Lian Ruyue sighed lightly. When the time passed, all the naive romance would be taken away.
"Let's go …" She was lost in her reverie and had forgotten to follow him. When she saw him, she jumped in fright and quickly tugged on her arm. Only then did she regain her senses, lowering her head and following him.
Lian Ru Yue stopped her steps and lightly glanced at her before asking, "Are you not feeling well?"
"No, no!" Drunken Fragrance was shocked and her knees bent as she kneeled on the ground. "Please spare me, Eldest Miss."
"You didn't do anything wrong. Why do you want me to spare your life?" Lian Ruyue looked at the jade hairpin above her head and asked.
Xia Xiang's face flushed red, "This servant, this servant is only …"
"Get up." Lian Ruyue did not say anything. She indifferently withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked out of Wen Hua Yuan.
"Why aren't you getting up?" Qing Dai scolded him in a low voice.
Chen Xiang quickly stood up and realized that in that short moment, her back was drenched in sweat.
Yu Li Pavilion.
This was a famous library in the capital, situated in a secluded place on a peak in the capital. The environment here was quiet and pleasant, and there were many precious books here, making many famous book lovers scramble to find it. Besides books, there were also paintings and calligraphy, and even people of the Imperial clan often came here to find books.
At this moment, a faint aroma of purple sandalwood lingered in a private room. There was a couplet "Wind and Cloud Three-Foot Sword, Flower Bird's Book" hanging on it.
The Sixth Prince, Feng Yu, was in the middle of writing Liu Gonggong's script. When he looked up, he saw that his opponent's incantation had sunk into deep thought. He didn't even realize that a large piece of paper had been stained black by the ink from his brush.
He put down his pen on the inkstone and asked, "Lian Fu, do you have something on your mind? Today, since you came out, you have been in a daze, deep in thought. If there are any difficulties, you can tell me, and see if I can help you."
"…" When Lian Meng returned to his senses and looked down, he discovered that all of his paper had been destroyed. He put down his brush and said, "Sixth Prince, I won't hide it from you. Lian Fu does have something on his mind."
