The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Shi Nanan sighed, helped Meng Wenyao out of the west wing, then took the small path and slowly led to the rockery he had inquired about last night.

After hiding carefully, Meng Wen Yao and Shi Nan'an waited for someone to come. Meng Wen Yao was waiting so long that she felt a little sleepy, but there was no movement.

With her back against the rockery, Meng Wenyao leaned weakly in Shi Nan'an's arms and muttered, "Second brother, did you deliberately find such a quiet place to deceive me? It's already this late and no one is walking around."

Shi Nanan was also a little puzzled. He clearly heard someone say last night that they would be here tonight. Could it be that the maid and the groom had something to do and couldn't come?

He lowered his head and asked, "Why don't we come back tomorrow? It's so late, let's go back to sleep first."

"No, wait a moment, I..."

Before Meng Wen Yao could finish her words, Shi Nan'an covered her mouth. He listened carefully and heard footsteps approaching.

Soon, the footsteps stopped not far from them, but judging from the footsteps, the person was very anxious and kept pacing back and forth.

After a while, another sound of footsteps was heard.

I only heard the man who came earlier said: "Aman, why are you here so late? Did the lady not let you out?"

The woman responded vaguely, and the man continued, "Aman, we are about to get married, and we can't keep doing this secretly. I have saved some money over the years, and I can do some business outside. You said before that Miss Wu has a bad temper, and you have suffered a lot of grievances. Why don't you quit your job and do some business outside after we get married? Isn't it better than being a slave?"

The woman still didn't speak, and the man was a little anxious: "Aman? Did the lady hit you again?"

"Ouch!" The woman screamed in surprise, perhaps she stepped on empty air in the dark. Then the sound of two bodies falling to the ground was heard. It should be that the man hugged the woman, and then they both fell to the ground.

Just when Meng Wenyao thought that the two might start to argue with each other again, she heard the man's mouth blocked by someone, and he said vaguely: "Aman, we haven't gotten married yet, we can't do this... wuwu..."

In an instant, Meng Wen Yao's eyes widened. The secret meeting between these two people actually turned into an illicit affair.

Meng Wenyao felt Shi Nan'an's embrace getting tighter and tighter. She wanted to push away a little, but Shi Nan'an immediately warned her, "Don't move."

The sounds not far away were getting louder and louder. The couple really ignored the world and became husband and wife.

Shi Nanan, who was holding Meng Wenya, also became a little restless, but he was afraid that people outside would find out, so he restrained his movements. Under the loud moans outside, the sound was so soft that it could be ignored.

But Meng Wen Yao was miserable. She was teased to the point of itching all over her body, but she couldn't make a sound. She felt so uncomfortable that she just wanted to curse A'man. It was fine if they were having a secret meeting, but they were going to get married soon. How could she not endure it for several days?

I don't know how long it took, but the noise outside finally stopped, and I heard the man say contentedly: "Aman, you look thin, but I didn't expect that after you took off your clothes, I couldn't even hold it with one hand. Also, you smell really good today."

A breeze blew by, and Meng Wen Yao smelled the fragrance coming from not far away, and suddenly felt it was so familiar. She didn't have much contact with this maid named A'man, so how could she be familiar with her smell?

When she returned to her room, Meng Wen Yao was still thinking about the familiar scent, and that A'man, who didn't say a word the whole night. Shouldn't there be endless whispers in this private meeting?

Meng Wen Yao was puzzled and simply stopped thinking about it. After all, it was confirmed that it was just a private meeting and not some conspiracy, so she was too lazy to bother with such things.

Ever since the pregnancy was confirmed, Shi Nan'an had not allowed Meng Wen Yao to go to the backyard of the Bo's mansion. More than a month had passed, and Meng Wen Yao was already three months pregnant. The fetus was firmly seated, and Shi Nan'an was worried that Meng Wen Yao would get sick from holding it in, so he took Meng Wen Yao to the main hall to have breakfast that day.

When Wu Qinfang sat down next to Meng Wen Yao, Meng Wen Yao felt like something was wrong.

Shi Nanan saw her frowning and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Have you stopped vomiting?"

"fine."

It wasn’t about morning sickness. Meng Wen Yao always felt that something was about to float out of her mind, and she couldn’t remember it after thinking about it for a long time.

It was not until everyone had finished eating and Wu Qinfang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief that the rich aroma hit Meng Wenyao's face. She then remembered that the taste was so familiar.

It shouldn't be musk, so what is it?

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so distracted all the way here?"

On the way back, Shi Nan'an kept paying attention to Meng Wenyao's expression. He said with some concern: "Is it because I didn't let you go out for more than a month that you got suffocated? Now that the baby is stable, I will accompany you wherever you want to go. If you find the west wing boring, I will accompany you to stroll around the backyard of the Du Bo Mansion."

The backyard of the Bo's mansion? Meng Wenyao suddenly thought of something. She grabbed Shi Nan'an's sleeve and said excitedly, "I know what Wu Qinfang is up to."

"Oh?"

In fact, Shi Nanan was also afraid that Wu Qinfang would do something bad, so he kept people paying attention to that side, but he didn't find anything unusual. He was curious about what Meng Wenyao could find since she didn't go out all day.

Meng Wenyao said excitedly: "Last time in the backyard of the Bo's Mansion, we had a secret meeting between A'man and her cousin. A'man didn't say a word the whole time. Don't you think it's strange?"

"I smelled a fragrance that day, and I also smelled that fragrance on Wu Qinfang today. So, second brother, the one who had a secret meeting with someone was not A'man, but Wu Qinfang pretending to be A'man."

She looked at Shi Nan'an with burning eyes, and Shi Nan'an cooperated and asked curiously: "Why did Wu Qinfang do this?"

"Of course it's for the child. She thought the child I was pregnant with was conceived by having sex with someone else. And she also said she wanted to have a child last time. It seems that she and Shen Chengwang have also consummated their marriage. She probably wants to get pregnant as soon as possible, so she let A'man meet with cousin Wang Cheng secretly. Then she took the opportunity to pretend to be A'man and successfully get pregnant. Then she said it was Shen Chengwang's child. Who can doubt it?"

Now, Shi Nanan also realized the seriousness of the matter. If Wu Qinfang really gave birth to an illegitimate child, she would definitely do everything she could to fight for the power and wealth of the Earl's Mansion for this illegitimate child.

Although Shi Nan'an and Meng Wenyao did not want to live in the Bo Mansion for a long time, they also did not want a villain like Wu Qinfang to reap the benefits.

He hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "I will arrest Wang Cheng and give him a thorough trial."

"Don't alert the enemy."

Meng Wenyao suggested, "That night, Wang Cheng wanted to go out and do some business on his own. Second brother, find someone to get close to her cousin, gain his trust, and do business with him. Let's stabilize that person first, and then give Wu Qinfang a fatal blow at the critical moment."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."
