As soon as He Zhiyuan left, Mother Wang walked into the room holding a bowl of thick black medicine.

Lin Yanyu did not forget how she had tied her to the bed just now.

Facing Mother Wang's fawning old face, I couldn't help but feel more annoyed.

She drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine in one breath and then drove the man out.

She had never doubted anything else about He Zhiyuan. Now He Zhiyuan was at the mercy of the enemy and she was the prey.

If he really wanted to do something to the child, she would be powerless to resist, so there was no need for him to lie to her.

And with this child, He Zhiyuan has another powerful bargaining chip to threaten her into submission.

She didn’t know if it was because the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine contained a sedative, but she fell asleep in a daze not long after taking it.

After a good sleep, when she woke up, the dizziness and chest tightness were relieved a lot. What surprised her most was that the dull pain in her lower abdomen that made her feel flustered disappeared.

When Prince Qia's mother came with her maid to serve dinner, she realized that she had slept for more than an hour.

Mother Wang, with a shy face, walked to the bed and hung the curtain on the small silver hook.

"Madam, you are awake. This evening's meal was prepared by me in the small kitchen to suit your taste. Please wake up and try it to see if it suits your taste."

Lin Yanyu had just woken up and was not fully awake yet.

She looked confused and stared at Mother Wang's mouth opening and closing without saying a word.

"I have been pregnant myself, and I know that pregnant women love to eat fruits. So I asked my useless nephew to find a fruit farmer who has many fruit trees at home. Madam, would you like to meet him after dinner?"

Mother Wang's face was shaped like an old chrysanthemum, with the corners of her mouth almost reaching her ears, but the smile looked a little stiff if you looked closely.

"Before leaving, my Lord said he was afraid you would be bored, so he asked me to take you to the small garden. Just treat it as a drop in, and see what you want to eat. I'll ask the fruit farmer to pick some fresh fruit and send it to you tomorrow."

I saw that Mother Wang’s smile was about to fade away.

"Well, since you said so, let's go and ask what fruits are available after dinner."

How could Lin Yanyu not know why Mother Wang was in such a state?

Isn't it because you know that you have offended her badly and you are afraid that she will take revenge in the future?

After all, if He Zhiyuan hadn't ordered her to do that, how could an old mother have the courage to do that?

Besides, He Zhiyuan said that the guards in the yard would be withdrawn and she would be allowed to move around the mansion freely. She didn't know whether it was true or not, so she really wanted to go out and take a look.

When Mother Wang saw that she agreed, she was instantly relieved and the smile on her face became more sincere.

"I will help you change your clothes first."

As she spoke, she took off the soft silk gauze shirt with wide sleeves, took a purple Hangzhou silk jacket from the chaise longue, and spread it out for Lin Yanyu to wear.

Lin Yanyu raised her sleeves and looked at him twice, then smiled imperceptibly at Mother Wang and said nothing.

She had something on her mind, so she finished her meal in a hurry and impatiently walked out of the bedroom, holding up her skirt.

Just as He Zhiyuan had promised, the guards guarding the door and the courtyard had indeed been withdrawn.

Only the Chuihua Gate was guarded by guards.

At the Shen time, the sun was setting in the west, and the warm but not scorching golden light cast a layer of gold on the pink and white layers of the crabapple flowers.

Lin Yanyu reached out and plucked a crabapple flower. She felt depressed and wondered why she was so happy. Even if she withdrew the guards guarding the bedroom, what was the point?

It's just replacing the bird cage with a dog cage.

Mother Wang lowered her head and followed her silently, not daring to say anything more, for fear that she would really make this person tired of her.

To be honest, she admired this man from the bottom of her heart. What kind of magic potion did he put into his family? Even though she was pregnant, he did not change his original intention and insisted on marrying her.

Mother Wang raised her head and glanced. The pretty girl had her brows furrowed and was holding a crabapple flower with a sad look on her face.

She quickly lowered her head. Yes, if she were a man, she would like it too.

"Madam, if you don't want to go shopping, let's go to the Chuihua Gate. My eldest nephew is waiting for him at the second gate with the fruit farmer."

Lin Yanyu was upset and wanted to forget it, but then she changed her mind...

She stroked her flat belly, let out a long sigh, and said, "Then let's go and take a look."

Before reaching the Chuihua Gate, I saw two figures standing opposite from afar.

One tall and one short, one fat and one thin.

The tall ones are thin and strong, while the short ones are plump and stocky.

When the shorter one saw the two of them coming, he immediately bowed and said with a smile, "Hello, Madam! Madam Wang said that Madam has not been eating recently, so she asked me to find the fruit farmer with the most complete variety in Qingzhou West City. I visited for half a day and found one. I brought it here for Madam to ask for her selection."

"Li Ba, come and tell my wife what kind of fruits and vegetables you have at home?"

Lin Yanyu: “?”

Li Ba?

She felt a little strange in her heart. How could such parents give their child such a name?

I couldn't help but look over there curiously.

Wearing a tattered hat to protect himself from the sun, he stood there bowing respectfully. His eyebrows could not be seen, and his chin was covered with a green beard. He was wearing a short suit, probably for the convenience of working, with his sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, and a pair of tattered straw sandals.

He looks like a sloppy farmer.

Not knowing what she was thinking about, Lin Yanyu's face turned red when she saw the exposed, glowing honey-colored skin.

"Good."

In order to make it easier to reply, Li Ba bowed and took two steps towards Lin Yanyu.

"Is my lady all right?"

The three people present were stunned.

The short and fat servant frowned, feeling disgusted with the peasant's rudeness and lack of etiquette. Fearing that he would anger Lin Yanyu, he immediately shouted, "I told you to answer, not to ask a question?"

Lin Yanyu was also startled, but she thought that he saw that she was nervous, so she didn't take it to heart.

"It's OK. I wonder what kind of fruits you have at home. Tell me about them."

"There are plums, mulberries, cantaloupes, loquats, green apricots..."

At this point, Li Ba paused and enthusiastically recommended: "I would like to emphasize the green apricots to Madam. The ones I have are very different from those of other families."

"Oh?"

Lin Yanyu raised her eyebrows. Green apricots are green apricots. What's the difference? Could it be that other people's green apricots are green, but his are red?

"These green apricots are nothing special, but when paired with the nectar brewed by my wife, it is a delicacy. I guarantee that after you have tasted it once, you will want to have it again."

"I just heard that you have nectar for sale?" The short and fat servant couldn't help but feel excited when he heard him say that.

He thought to himself that when he got back, he would go to the fruit farmer to buy some.

"Is this nectar really so delicious?"

Lin Yanyu suppressed the strangeness in her heart, looked Li Ba up and down, and fixed her gaze on his drooping hat.

"I am not lying. I have tasted it once and I will never forget it. If I deceive my lady, I will have to eat all the nectar in front of her."

Her eyes slid from the torn hat to the upturned corners of Li Ba's lips, without paying attention to what she said.

"No, no need to. I believe you. Since you said it's so good, is it possible tonight?"

"My Madam has given me an order, so how can I disobey?" After saying that, Li Ba put away his fists in a bow and slowly stood up.

Lin Yanyu followed his movements, from the corner of her lips raised upwards.

She saw the straight and noble nose, the expressive eyebrows, and the dark eyes, which were looking at her with deep affection that was filled with extreme pain and joy.
