For a moment, the room was silent, and the world was as quiet as the two of them alone.

After a long time, Lu Yan finally spoke, breaking the eerie silence.

He said in a deep voice:

"You are pregnant."

After hearing the news, Shen Ruoyan finally reacted.

She frowned at first, pursed her lips and turned her head to think for a while, as if she finally understood what Lu Yan said. Then Shen Ruoyan moved her fingers, slowly raised her hand, and touched her flat belly.

Does she have children?

Is God kidding her?

When she hated Lu Yan deeply, she was allowed to have Lu Yan's child!

For a moment, Shen Ruoyan felt mixed feelings in her heart.

This child came at an untimely time. What kind of existence would a child with her and Lu Yan's blood be like?

What would he think if he knew how his father plotted against her mother?

"Drink the medicine."

Lu Yan's faint voice came to mind again. Shen Ruoyan didn't know where she got the strength to slap him in the face with a wave of her hand.

"Snapped!"

A crisp voice came to mind in the house.

The medicine bowl was well protected by Lu Yan, and a clear five-fingerprint appeared on his cheek.

The first time she slapped someone, Shen Ruoyan had no experience, so she used all her strength and just slapped her without hesitation. She didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Hearing the movement in the room, Qin'er thought something had happened, ignored the rules, opened the door and rushed in.

"Miss, are you alright?"

I saw the uncle holding the medicine bowl with a calm face, while the young lady fell on the bedside, her hair was messy, and she was breathing heavily.

Qin'er was startled, and hurriedly went over to help Shen Ruoyan straighten herself up, and then trimmed her hair.

After making sure that the young lady was fine and not injured at all, Qin'er couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to retreat, she suddenly saw a clear slap mark on her uncle's cheek.

Could it be that the crisp sound just now was the young lady slapping my uncle?

Qin'er was petrified, standing there with her head lowered, not daring to move.

My uncle is going to court tomorrow, right?

Officials pay the most attention to their own image. The slap mark on my uncle's face is so clear that it will probably not disappear in the next few days. It will definitely cause other people to gossip. Will my uncle take it out on the young lady because of this?

Lu Yan turned his face sideways. Just when Qin'er thought he would get angry, the man just said to Shen Ruoyan calmly:

"Is it okay to give it a shot and take a sip of medicine?"

Shen Ruoyan snorted coldly and turned away, not giving Lu Yan any good looks.

What does he mean?

Her entire family was slaughtered, and now she's here to show off?

Is it just because of the child in her belly?

Seeing that Shen Ruoyan was not getting along, Lu Yan finally lost his patience, pointed at Qin'er who was standing aside, and threatened in a low voice:

"If you refuse to drink the medicine, I will order someone to kill you, my maid!"

When Shen Ruoyan heard this, she glared at Lu Yan fiercely, grabbed the medicine bowl, and drank the entire bowl of medicine soup with tears in her eyes.

After making sure that Shen Ruoyan drank all the medicine, Lu Yan left with a cold face.

Shen Ruoyan was lying on the bed, thinking of her dead relatives and the child in her belly. She felt a wave of nausea and spit out the medicine she had just drank.

Strong nausea came over her, and Shen Ruoyan vomited everything she could in her stomach until she couldn't vomit anything anymore, and then started coughing uncontrollably. It felt like she was coughing up all her internal organs. come out.

Qin'er was obviously frightened by this scene, her voice sounded a little crying, and her words were not very clear:

"Miss, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Can you tell Qin'er?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head, her mouth full of bitterness.

What should she say about this?

Tell Qin'er that she is pregnant with the child of the person she hates most?

Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this?

Since that day, Lu Yan would come over every night and watch Shen Ruoyan drink the medicine in person before giving up.

But soon, Lu Yan found helplessly that even after drinking so many tonics, Shen Ruoyan still lost weight visibly.

Shen Ruoyan, who was once graceful and elegant, has now become languid. Shen Ruoyan has been groggy all day long, like a trained goshawk, quietly drooping its wings, incredibly docile, but also has an indescribable lifelessness.

In those days, many famous doctors were invited to the General's Mansion. Every doctor who stepped out of the room would only frown. None of them could tell the specific condition of the disease. They only said that the wife was weak and needed tonic.

Finally, I don't know what Lu Yan thought of, but he invited Dr. Zhang, the most respected doctor in the hospital, to come over.

The silver-haired old man came to Shen Ruoyan's bedside, took her pulse carefully, shook his head helplessly, and finally said:

"Heart disease needs heart medicine."

Finally, Lu Yan couldn't bear it any longer. He sat down on Shen Ruoyan's bedside with a calm face and asked:

"Let's make a deal, how about that?"

The person lying on the bed had her eyes closed tightly, and her trembling eyelashes confirmed that she was clearly awake, but she refused to give him any response.

Lu Yan knew that Shen Ruoyan was not willing to believe him anymore.

Like an extremely experienced hunter, Lu Yan was patient and continued to throw out the bait:

"Shen Chang is not dead. Do you want to see him?"

After hearing the news, Shen Ruoyan, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes and finally turned her head to look at Lu Yan with shock on her face.

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't look like he was joking, Shen Ruoyan hesitated again and again, but finally gave in and confirmed:

"Xiao Changchang is not dead?"

But the voice he spoke in was soft and weak.

Lu Yan nodded, seeing Shen Ruoyan's eyes lowered and her face hesitant, knowing that she was weighing whether his words were trustworthy, so he continued:

"Whether you believe it or not, you can only choose to believe me."

Shen Ruoyan chuckled bitterly, she indeed could no longer trust Lu Yan.

It was because she trusted Lu Yan too much that her whole family was killed. Now that Lu Yan had done everything he could, how could he risk disobeying the imperial edict and save Xiao Changchang?

However, as Lu Yan said, she had no right to choose at all. Even though she knew that she was likely to be deceived by Lu Yan again, Shen Ruoyan still wanted to try it with the one in ten thousand possibility.

What if Xiao Changchang is really still alive?

This child is the only bloodline left by their Shen family!

Shen Ruoyan took a deep breath and asked:

"What do you want me to do?"

As if he had expected that Shen Ruoyan would agree, Lu Yan pointed to the rich and somewhat extravagant dishes on the table and said:

"The day you take good care of yourself, I will bring the child."

"it is good!"

Shen Ruoyan gritted her teeth and agreed.
