Yan Wen and Xu Shuangxue both had smiles on their faces.

Yan Wen said, "It's been almost two months, but your sister-in-law has a cold body, and the doctor said that this first baby needs to be carefully taken care of in the first three months."

Yan Shu checked Xu Shuangxue's pulse and said with a smile, "From the pulse, the fetus is fine. I will prepare a tonic prescription later. Drinking it for a few days will improve your physical condition. My parents will be very happy to know this."

Xu Shuangxue said happily, "My parents stayed here for a while because they were worried that I was too weak. Mom has been trying different ways to nourish me. Recently, they made sure that we are both feeling better, so they went back to the mountain to prepare for the New Year."

"After all, this baby is the eldest son and daughter of our Yan family. Dad and Mom must be looking forward to it. I will also be an aunt. Big brother and sister-in-law, I am really happy for you."

Yan Shu stared at Xu Shuangxue's lower abdomen, and he was actually looking forward to the arrival of this little life soon.

She has little affinity with children in this life, so it would be a comfort if she could see the next generation of the Yan family before she passes away.

The three chatted for a while, and Yan Wen asked curiously: "Little sister, why didn't your second brother come back?"

Yan Shu said, "My second brother has joined the army."

Yan Wen frowned: "Stinky boy, why didn't he discuss such a big thing with his family?"

"This is my second brother's choice. We shouldn't interfere too much. I know my family must be worried about him. I will write a letter tomorrow to find out about his situation in the barracks."

Yan Wen asked, "Is he in Erlang's military camp?"

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Yan Wen was silent for a while. To put it nicely, joining the army means seeking wealth and honor amidst risks, but in reality, most people become cannon fodder for those in power. He was very worried about his silly brother.

"Your second brother is a reckless person, but with Erlang by his side, I can feel a little more at ease."

Yan Shu thought that he and Jiang Ci had become strangers, he could not remember the past, so how could he take care of his second brother?

It seems that I need to send a message to Huanying and Qi Tianyi.

next day

Early in the morning, Yan Shu wrote two letters and went to Jiang Mansion.

When Nanny Zhao and several sisters-in-law learned that Yan Shu had returned, they hurried out to greet him.

"Ma'am, you are finally back."

Yan Shu smiled at everyone and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Madam Zhao said, "Everything in the mansion is the same as before, but Madam looks much thinner."

"It's certainly not as peaceful out there as at home. Just take care of it for a while. Where's Ah Fu?"

"Ahfu went out to buy some groceries early in the morning, he should be back soon."

Yan Shu nodded: "Tell him to come see me when he comes back."

"Yes, Madam, have you had breakfast yet? If not, I will have the servants prepare it."

Mrs. Qin made the tea and handed it to Yan Shu, who took the teacup, opened the lid and took two sips slowly.

"Don't bother, I already used it when I came here."

Nanny Zhao immediately went out and asked someone to wait for Ah Fu at the door, and then returned to the house.

"Nearby, recently Madam Liu and Miss Liu San sent people to inquire about you. I don't know when you and the young master will come back, so I had to tell them the truth. Without the goods you supply, the business of the Rouge Shop has become much bleak. I heard from the people in the Liu Mansion that many repeat customers come to urge them every now and then, and Madam Liu is also very anxious."

Yan Shu nodded: "I will go to Liu's house in the next two days."

"Madam, didn't the young master come back with you?"

Yan Shu pondered for a moment and looked at the people in the room.

"Madam Zhao, Sister Qin, Sister Li, Madam Wei, I appreciate your careful care during the time I lived in Jiang Mansion. I will not continue to live in Jiang Mansion in the future, and you don't have to call me Madam anymore."

Several people looked slightly surprised, and Nanny Zhao spoke first.

"Madam, are you having a conflict with the young master? It is inevitable that husband and wife will have some small quarrels. Madam, please do not let this cause any rift between you and the young master. I can see that the young master loves you very much."

As an experienced person, Nanny Zhao could tell from Yan Shu's tone that there must be something wrong between him and his master.

Yan Shu smiled faintly: "Aci and I have no grudges against each other, you don't have to think too much, just continue to work hard in the mansion in the future. I just have more important things to do, so I won't live here in the future for the convenience of doing things."

After hearing Yan Shu's words, several people looked at each other.

"Where are you moving to, madam? Can a few of us follow you?"

Yan Shu shook his head: "This huge house still needs someone to look after it. Your young master might come to stay for a while sometime, so the house needs someone. Besides, I can't stay in Xinyang for long."

At this time, Ah Fu hurried back from outside.

"lady."

Yan Shu looked at Madam Zhao and the others and said, "Madam Zhao, you guys go down first."

"Yes!"

Nanny Zhao led a few people out of the main room, leaving only Yan Shu and Ah Fu in the room.

"Afu, can you contact Wuming?"

Ever since Jiang Ci and she left Xinyang Prefecture, Jiang Ci's confidants such as Wuming also left, so the only person she could contact Jiang Ci now was Afu from the Jiang Mansion.

Ah Fu said, "Commander Wuming left not long after you left. I don't know where he is for now, but Hongyue Tower in Xinyang Prefecture is the master's base. If the madam has any instructions, Hongyue Tower can convey them to her."

Yan Shu took out two letters from his sleeve: "One of these two letters is for Wuming, and the other is for Qi Tianyi. Please help me deliver them to Hongyue Tower."

Ah Fu stepped forward to take the letter and said, "I will go and deliver it to Madam right away."

After sending the letter, Yan Shu was looking forward to hearing news from his second brother.

At the same time, Yan Wu, who was missed by his family, was traveling a long distance towards Xinyang Prefecture with two shadow guards.

After leaving Jiang Mansion, Yan Shu went straight to the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Pei Qingwan married into the Yongding Marquis's Mansion last month. In the eyes of outsiders, she became Liu Bin's second wife. This matter caused a lot of discussion in Xinyang Prefecture.

People all say that Marquis Yongding loved his deceased wife deeply. Ever since his wife died of childbirth complications, he has not remarried or taken concubines, and has devoted himself to raising the two children born to his deceased wife. Why would such a loyal man suddenly remarry?

Moreover, the woman he married was the third daughter of the Pei family who had been stupid for many years. This third daughter was even more legendary.

He fell into the water for unknown reasons when he was five years old and became unconscious. He was stupid and foolish for many years. Last year, he fell into the water again for unknown reasons while traveling outside the house. When he woke up, hey, the stupid man of many years became sober again. Then he was inexplicably chosen by the Marquis of Yongding, which made the man who had remained chaste for his deceased wife for sixteen years finally happy.

People in the city were discussing the marriage of Marquis Yongding after dinner, while in the Marquis Yongding's mansion, Liu Bin hugged his wife with a smile on his face and refused to let go.

Pei Qingwan has not gotten out of bed for three days since she married Liu Bin. Now, her reputation as the wife of a marquis has been completely lost.

Even the maids and old women were secretly laughing at them behind their backs.

"My Lord, can we discuss something?"

Liu Bin embraced his lovely wife and was so happy that he didn't want to leave. "What do you want to discuss, Madam?"
