Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

After Nan'er and Dong'er got married, they lived a very sweet life. Every day, they either strolled hand in hand in the garden, admiring the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, or cuddled up to each other in the room, talking about love.

One day, Nan'er and Dong'er were sitting on a swing in the garden. Nan'er gently swung the swing and said to Dong'er with a smile: "Brother Dong'er, do you think we can live like this forever? I really hope we can be so happy forever!"

Dong'er looked at Nan'er lovingly, stretched out his hand to gently tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind, and said, "Nan'er, of course I will! I will always be with you and make you happy all your life! Humph, if anyone dares to destroy our happiness, I will never forgive him!"

Nan'er leaned on Dong'er's shoulder and said with a chuckle, "With Brother Dong'er here, I'm not afraid of anything! But, I've been feeling a little lazy lately, and I don't know what's going on."

Dong'er got nervous when he heard this. He quickly helped Nan'er stand up and said with a worried look on his face, "Nan'er, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well? Let's go get a doctor to check it out. I hope there is something wrong with you. Oh, I'm so worried!"

Nan'er smiled and comforted him, "Brother Dong'er, don't worry. Maybe you just didn't get enough rest these days. I don't think it's a big deal. Look at you, you're so nervous!"

But Dong'er wouldn't listen. He pulled Nan'er into the house, muttering, "No, no, we have to ask a doctor to take a look. What if there is any disease and we delay the treatment? Humph, I can't let you have any mishaps!"

Soon, the doctor was called in. Dong'er paced anxiously, his eyes never leaving Nan'er, and he kept saying, "Doctor, you have to take a good look at my Nan'er. She has been feeling unwell recently. You must cure her, no matter what method you use or how much money you spend, it's all right!"

The doctor smiled and nodded, motioning Nan'er to stretch out her hand for him to feel her pulse. After a while, the doctor showed a look of surprise on his face, stood up, and congratulated Dong'er and Nan'er: "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, princess! Princess is not sick, but pregnant! She has been pregnant for more than a month, haha, this is really a great joy!"

Dong'er was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then a brilliant smile broke out on his face. He excitedly held Nan'er's hand and said loudly: "Nan'er, did you hear that? We are going to have a baby! Haha, this is great! I'm going to be a father, and you're going to be a mother! Oh, I'm so happy!"

Nan'er was also surprised and happy, with tears in her eyes. She touched her belly and murmured, "Really? I really have a child? Oh, this feels so magical! Brother Dong'er, our child..."

Dong'er picked up Nan'er and spun around in the room, shouting, "Nan'er, thank you! You brought me such a big surprise! Humph, I will take better care of you and our child in the future. I want both of you to live comfortably!"

Afterwards, Dong'er and Nan'er hurried to tell the elders in the family the good news.

First he went to Ziwei and Erkang. Dong'er rushed into the house excitedly and shouted, "Father, mother, come out quickly! I have great news to tell you!"

Ziwei and Erkang came out after hearing the noise, and looked at Dong'er and Nan'er in confusion. Ziwei asked, "What's the matter? You two look so happy, what happened?"

Dong'er grinned and said, "Mother, Nan'er is pregnant! Haha, our family is going to have a new member. You're going to be a grandmother, and Ama is going to be a grandfather!"

When Ziwei heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She walked quickly to Nan'er, held her hand, and said excitedly: "Oh, this is really great! Nan'er, you must take good care of yourself. If you want to eat or drink something, just tell me and I will get it for you! Humph, you can't let my unborn grandson suffer!"

Erkang also nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Nan'er, you are now the key protected person. Dong'er, you have to take good care of Nan'er. If anything goes wrong, I will not forgive you!"

Dong'er nodded hurriedly and said, "Ah, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Nan'er and will never let her and the child get hurt!"

Then, they went to Prince Rong's mansion to inform Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, Zhihua and others.

When Xiaoyanzi heard the news, she jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Wow! Nan'er, you have a child! Haha, I'm going to be a grandmother! Oh, this is great! Nan'er, you must have a good rest during this period of time, don't tire yourself out!"

Yongqi also smiled and said, "Yes, Nan'er, this is a great event. If you need any help in the future, just tell your uncle. Your uncle will definitely support you with all his strength!"

Zhihua was also smiling and said, "Nan'er, congratulations. This child will definitely be a blessing in the future. Just rest assured and take care of the baby."

Nan'er thanked everyone one by one and said with a smile: "Thank you, father, mother, uncle, aunt and auntie, I will take good care of myself, don't worry! Humph, I will definitely give birth to the baby safely!"

Since then, Dong'er has taken even more meticulous care of Nan'er.

Every morning, Dong'er would get up early and order the kitchen to prepare a variety of nutritious food that suits Nan'er's taste. He would personally bring breakfast to Nan'er's bedside and whisper, "Nan'er, get up and have breakfast. Today we have your favorite crystal shrimp dumplings and bird's nest porridge, which are good for your health. You have to eat more. Humph, you can't let my child's mother starve!"

Nan'er sat up with a smile, took the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by Dong'er, and said, "Brother Dong'er, you are too considerate. I am about to be spoiled by you! But this bird's nest porridge is really delicious. I have to eat more."

During the day, Dong'er would also walk with Nan'er in the garden, but he was always very careful. Sometimes he would remind Nan'er to walk slowly and not to get tired, and sometimes he would check if there were any bumps around, muttering, "Nan'er, walk slowly, be careful where you step, don't fall, if you get hurt you and the child, I'll be so sad! Humph, I have to keep an eye on them all the time!"

Nan'er scolded, "Brother Dong'er, I'm not a child. It's not that easy for me to fall. Don't be too nervous!"

But Dong Er said seriously: "That won't do. You and the child are the most important now. I must be careful and cautious. I can't be careless at all!"

At night, Dong'er would make Nan'er's bed and put a hot water bottle in it so that Nan'er could sleep warmly. He would also tell Nan'er some interesting stories before bed to coax her to sleep, saying, "Nan'er, listen to the stories and sleep well. I hope you and the child can have a good dream. Hum, if you feel uncomfortable at night, you must wake me up, understand?"

Nan'er nodded gently, closed her eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Dong'er, you are so nice. With you around, I can sleep soundly."

However, just as Nan'er was resting and taking care of her pregnancy and the family was immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life, the mysterious man who had tried many times to harm Dong'er and Nan'er appeared again.

The mysterious man was still wearing the black robe and a bamboo hat, covering his face tightly. He hid behind a big tree near Dong'er and Nan'er's house, and peeped at the movements in the yard through the gaps between the leaves.

"Huh, Nan'er is actually pregnant. This is such a surprise! But it's good too. Maybe I can use this child to cause them some trouble again!" The mysterious man whispered to himself, with a cunning light in his eyes.

The men beside him whispered, "Sir, what are we going to do this time? We didn't succeed the last few times, so we have to be careful this time."

The mysterious man sneered and said, "Don't worry, just observe first. See what protective measures they take on a daily basis and see if there is any opportunity to take advantage of them. Humph, this time I must let them know the consequences of offending me!"

The subordinate nodded obediently and continued to watch the movements in the yard with the mysterious man.

As for Dong'er, although his heart was completely focused on Nan'er and the child, the previous attacks by mysterious men made him stay alert at all times.

One day, Dong'er accompanied Nan'er for a walk in the garden. After returning to the house, Dong'er said to Nan'er, "Nan'er, I always feel like someone is secretly watching us these days. Do you have this feeling?"

Nan'er was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Brother Dong'er, I actually have the same feeling, but I didn't dare to say it out loud because I was afraid you would worry. Do you think it could be that mysterious person again?"

Dong Er frowned, clenched his fists, and said, "It's very likely that it was him! Humph, that guy has tried to harm us time and time again, we can't be careless this time! I have to go and discuss with my father, mother, and uncle, and we have to strengthen the protective measures at home!"

Nan'er grabbed Dong'er's hand and said, "Brother Dong'er, go quickly, but you have to be careful, I don't want anything to happen to you!"

Dong'er nodded, turned around and went to discuss with Ziwei, Erkang, Yongqi and others.

When Ziwei heard Dong'er's concerns, she immediately said, "Dong'er, you are right. We can't let our guard down! The mysterious man had bad intentions before, and Nan'er is pregnant this time, so we have to be even more cautious. I will arrange for more guards to patrol the yard, and we have to increase vigilance at night!"

Erkang also nodded and said, "Yes, we have to tell the servants to be more alert on weekdays. If they find any suspicious people or things, they should report it immediately. Humph, we can't let that mysterious person succeed again!"

Yongqi patted Dong'er on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your uncle is here and will not let Nan'er and the child get hurt. Let's work together to find the mysterious man and completely solve this hidden danger!"

Dong'er looked at everyone with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Father, Mother, and Uncle. I feel much more at ease with you all here. We must protect Nan'er and the child. Humph, we must not let that mysterious man take advantage of us!"

After observing for a few days, the mysterious man found that Dong'er's family's protective measures had indeed been strengthened a lot, but he did not give up.

"Humph, these guys are quite vigilant. But this can't stop me!" The mysterious man gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

The men beside him asked, "Sir, what should we do now? It seems that it is not so easy to do it."

The mysterious man thought for a moment, then raised a sinister smile and said, "Since it's hard to attack from the front, let's attack from the side. I heard that Nan'er likes to eat a kind of fruit shipped from the south. What's it called? Oh, yes, it's lychee. Let's start with the lychee and do something with it. Hehe, if something goes wrong after she eats it, it will be a good show!"

When the subordinate heard this, he said with some concern: "Sir, is this possible? It will be troublesome if we are discovered."

The mysterious man glared at him and said, "What do you know! As long as we do it covertly, how can they find out? Humph, it's settled. You quickly make arrangements and find someone to pretend to be a fruit vendor and deliver the tampered lychees to their homes. Remember to disguise yourself properly!"

The subordinate didn't dare to say anything more. He just responded and went to arrange the matter.

A few days later, a man who looked like a fruit vendor came to Dong'er and Nan'er's house with a load on his shoulder.

"Fruits for sale! Fresh fruits! Apples, pears, and lychees just shipped from the south!" the fruit vendor shouted loudly.
