My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

Su Yunwan sat on a wooden chair, calmly stretched out her right hand, and let Doctor Hua take her pulse.

Doctor Hua took the patient's pulse, his fingers trembled slightly, and then he continued to feel the patient's pulse, his face gradually becoming tense.

The old lady sitting next to him felt her heart sink when she saw this. She leaned forward and asked, "Doctor Hua, how is it?"

Doctor Hua withdrew his hand and his expression returned to normal: "It is spring now, and the weather is getting colder. Princess has taken off too much clothing, and the cold air has invaded and damaged her spleen and stomach. Just drink a few doses of soup."

"Really?" the old lady asked doubtfully.

Doctor Hua was about to nod when Su Yunwan's calm voice rang in his ears: "I'm pregnant."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like thunderclap out of the blue, shocking everyone present.

Doctor Hua looked surprised. He didn't expect her to say it directly.

He originally wanted to help cover it up and then write a letter to tell Qin Junyi, but now that the truth has been revealed, the situation is no longer under his control.

The old lady felt her blood boiling, and she felt dizzy and almost couldn't hold on.

Yi Ge'er was away on an expedition, so the child couldn't be his. But as for the rumor that Su Yunwan was having an affair, she absolutely didn't believe it.

But where did this child come from???!!!

Her face was like an overturned palette, and after a long while she finally asked, "When did it happen?"

The old lady wanted to ask who it was, but she took a detour when the words came to her lips.

Su Yunwan said calmly, "Ziyuan came back during the Chinese New Year."

Old lady: "..."

Who are you trying to fool?

If Yi Ge'er really came back, how could he not see her during such an important festival as the New Year?

She continued to ask based on Su Yunwan's words, "Who else knows about Yi Ge'er's return?"

Su Yunwan thought for a moment and said, "Qin Mu."

The old lady immediately turned to Madam Zhuang beside her and said, "Go and ask Qin Mu to come over!"

At the main table in the front hall, Qin Mu had a cold expression on his face and raised his glass to respond to the compliments and toasts from his clansmen.

A servant walked in from outside and whispered something in his ear.

Qin Mu immediately put down his wine glass, told everyone to do as they pleased, and walked out the door with steady steps.

Outside the door, Madam Zhuang, who was serving the old lady, bowed and said, "Third Master, please come here for a while."

"What happened?" Qin Mu asked as he walked.

Madam Zhuang said succinctly, "The princess vomited during the banquet, and Doctor Hua confirmed that she was pregnant."

Qin Mu stopped in his tracks and showed a rare smile on his face: "Really?"

There was undisguised joy in the tone.

Aunt Zhuang: "...Yes."

I secretly slandered in my heart: The prince hasn't returned for a long time, and we don't know where the child came from, but you are so happy. If someone doesn't know, they would think it is your child!

Nanny Zhuang suddenly widened her eyes, looked at Qin Mu in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly.

Qin Mu got a positive answer and didn't ask any more questions. He held his head high and strode towards the backyard.

The women in the backyard were not talking to each other in a whisper due to the presence of Mrs. Luo and other women from the main family, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Seeing Qin Mu following Madam Zhuang to the side hall, the various lights in his eyes became even brighter.

Qin Mu entered the side hall, nodded to Su Yunwan and the old lady, and then looked at Doctor Hua, with sincere concern in his words: "Doctor Hua, how is my sister-in-law?"

Doctor Hua said bluntly: "The princess is in good health, but she is a little bit sick of morning sickness."

"Is there any way to alleviate the discomfort?"

"You can eat small meals frequently, or drink some mint tea in moderation..."

The old lady looked at Qin Mu, who was humbly learning from Dr. Hua. His figure overlapped with the figure of her eldest grandson asking Dr. Hua for precautions two years ago. A terrible guess came to her mind.

Do not!

It can't be like that!

Qin Mu would never do that!

But there was an evil voice in his heart saying: Among so many female members of the Qin family, Qin Mu only treated Su Yunwan differently.

Recently, the two of them often spend most of the day alone in the study...

Just as the old lady was in doubt, Qin Mu ended the conversation with Doctor Hua and said to the maid behind Su Yunwan: "Qingtang, you heard it all, too."

"Yes, I have taken note of it. I will go and tell the kitchen later." Qingtang replied with her head lowered.

Qin Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a brisk voice: "Brother will be very happy when he knows this. I will write to tell you the good news now."

These words immediately shattered the fantasies of everyone in the room, and their hearts were finally at peace.

"Wait! When did your eldest brother come back?" the old lady asked anxiously.

"At the beginning of the year." After Qin Mu finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at the old lady with a dangerous look.

"What do you doubt?"

"No, no."

The old lady felt like a prey being targeted by a wild beast. She was horrified and denied it flatly. She thought quickly, "I just regret that I didn't get to meet him."

"Brother was busy with military affairs and did not stay long." Qin Mu responded coldly.

The old lady looked embarrassed: "Is that so..."

She had completely believed what Qin Mu said. Although it was a little hard to believe, it was the only way it made sense.

Doctor Hua said at the right time: "We still need to come up with a rule on how to deal with the guests outside."

The old lady was the first to respond: "Don't announce it to the public yet. Wait until three months have passed."

According to folk customs, if you are pregnant for less than three months, you cannot tell others, otherwise it will be harmful to the fetus.

It is said that there is a fetal god in pregnancy, who can ensure the healthy growth of the fetus in the belly. However, if the news is announced too early, it will disturb the fetal god and make it unhappy, thus causing miscarriage.

Qin Mu frowned slightly. Even the old lady was suspicious. If they kept it hidden like this, there might be rumors outside. "How about asking big brother to come back some time?"

As long as the big brother is around, all rumors will be dispelled.

Su Yunwan shook her head in objection: "Ziyuan is preparing to counterattack Beidi, don't disrupt his rhythm."

The old lady also felt that it would take several months for Qin Junyi to come and go, and the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, so the greater cause should be given priority. "No matter what, first spend the next month quietly, and then talk about it after three months. Maybe by then Brother Yi will be back!"

Su Yunwan said: "Actually, I can also take the two children to Liangzhou."

"Don't! Wanwan, your pregnancy is the most important thing for you now. You can't travel far. Besides, there are countless dangers along the way. You can't take such a risk." The old lady didn't know that she could teleport, so she advised her earnestly.

As an insider, Qin Mu felt that it was the best thing that his elder brother could be reunited with his wife and children.

But this time, she will inevitably be heavily escorted, and my sister-in-law cannot teleport directly to the destination, so she will have to travel a long distance.

Therefore, he did not agree with Su Yunwan.

Su Yunwan naturally thought of this, and stood up and said, "Then do as grandma said, and go back to the table."

"Sister-in-law, you have to take a good rest. Grandmother and I will be there to entertain people outside." Qin Mu stretched out his hand to stop her and looked at the old lady.

The old lady nodded repeatedly: "That's right, just take good care of the baby and don't get tired."

Seeing this, Su Yunwan no longer showed up.

Soon, the clansmen in the backyard were told that the princess had caught a cold and had stomach discomfort, so she had to rest first.

However, this statement may deceive young girls and children, but it cannot deceive women who have given birth.
