The poor man grows watermelon

"You mean, the current 'I' doesn't have stretch marks?" Su Ye emphasized, pointing at her transparent soul.

Su Yelan nodded, "I haven't since I can remember."

Su Ye frowned slightly, "You mean, you are actually a man?"

Su Yelan paused for a moment, then adopted a rather pertinent statement, "At least I think so."

Su Ye suddenly thought of one thing, "Didn't you get engaged to Huo Da when someone discovered Shuang'er's identity? Since you don't have stretch marks, why would they conclude that you are Shuang'er?"

"I was framed." Su Yelan replied flatly.

Su Ye was taken aback, he never thought of this possibility.

"What happened at that time, can you tell me more about it?" Su Ye asked in a deep voice.

Su Yelan nodded, and said slowly: "At that time, my father was seriously injured and died soon. The clan planned to let the patriarch's son inherit his title—this seems to be the meaning of my family."

When he mentioned this matter, he was not as angry as before. "Because of my father's position, they were afraid that the new emperor would blame me. I don't know who came up with the idea. They said they would engrave my pregnancy marks and marry me to the Huo family."

Su Ye's heart skipped a beat, "Did they succeed?"

"Of course not." Su Yelan showed a shallow smile, "I escaped using the seal of the Hou Mansion."

Su Ye fell silent.

At this moment, his mood is no longer enough to be described as "surprised".

His memory of the "framing" that Su Yelan mentioned was very vague, perhaps because his body had been having a fever during that time and he was unconscious.

As for the lack of stretch marks... Su Ye thought about it carefully, indeed, he had never seen stretch marks in Su Yelan's memory.

Intuition told him that Su Yelan would not lie to him, let alone that there was no need for it.

Su Yelan sat beside him quietly, looking down at the little lump in his stomach from time to time.

Su Ye changed his mind - no, Shao Ping clearly said that the marriage with the Huo family was arranged by Yong'an Hou.

If Su Yelan was a man, why would Su Yang arrange for him to marry?

Or was this originally an agreement made by the Su and Huo families in order to keep Su Yelan?

Does Hoda know?

Su Ye pursed her lips, and said again, "Father...I mean Marquis Yong'an, does he know that you are a man?"

Mentioning this, Su Yelan's expression was a bit strange, "Although my father has always raised me as a man, but he always has the meaning that I am actually a twin in his words, and I am very puzzled."

now it's right.

Judging from the memories Su Ye received, Hou Yong'an clearly believed that Su Yelan was a twin.

But why?

"Does Marquis Yong'an know that you don't have pregnancy marks?"

Su Yelan's face turned red, and she whispered, "How can father and son talk about this kind of thing?"

Su Ye raised her eyebrows and asked again: "Have you ever bathed or played in water together?"

Su Yelan shook her head, with a sad expression on her face, "Father is very busy, except for waking up in the morning and evening, we don't have many opportunities to meet, let alone play games together."

Su Ye asked resolutely, "Didn't you ever go there when you were a child? I remember that there is a big bathtub behind Master Hou's bedroom. Have you ever been there?"

Su Yelan thought for a while, and said: "The earliest I remember was when I was three years old. I heard from my nurse that I fell into the pool when I was mischievous and fell into a serious illness after being rescued. Since then, I have been very afraid of water. , and never swam in my father's bathroom again."

In this way, after the age of three, Marquis Yong'an, who was the father, never saw his son's body, and the father and son never talked about the pregnancy marks.

Su Ye suddenly had a guess—is it possible that Su Yelan had stretch marks before she was three years old, and they disappeared only because of illness?

Su Yelan poked his stomach, and said gently, "Don't think too much, Xiaoye, just go back and find a doctor to have a look. Maybe you have stretch marks, but maybe it's just in a hidden place."

Su Ye smiled and nodded. He didn't tell Su Yelan that he did have stretch marks, and they were very conspicuous.

Instead of letting Su Yelan worry about it, it's better to find out the matter before we talk about it.

-

Su Ye didn't know when she returned to her body.

He had a dream, the cold pool water, the frightening feeling of suffocation, the big callused hands, and the darkness, the boundless darkness...

The feeling of fear and despair was very clear, and he wanted to break free, but he couldn't find a way.

Until there was a faint throbbing pain in the abdomen, accompanied by a familiar and anxious voice——

"Little page, wake up!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here..."

It's Yu Feng.

By the way, he has a partner and a baby.

He shouldn't despair, and he can't give up, it's just a dream, just a dream.

Thinking of this, Su Ye's mind suddenly sank, and then he took a big breath, finally regaining consciousness.

Through the sweaty eyelashes, one can vaguely see Yu Feng's worried face.

Su Ye's reaction was half a beat slow, why is Brother Feng here, where are Qingzhu and Ya'er?

Su Ye's heart was still beating wildly, but her emotions gradually settled down.

Yes, he remembered, during this period of time his reaction became more and more serious, he often had cramps or woke up hungry in the middle of the night, he was embarrassed to trouble Su Qingzhu and Su Ya'er, so he called Yu Feng over.

"Did you have a nightmare?" The man's voice was low and full of concern.

Su Ye let out an "um", subconsciously found his hand, and gently held it.

The man gripped back hard, and the dry and warm palm was covered with a thin layer of sweat at some point.

Su Ye put the clasped hands on her abdomen, which was obviously bulging.

The throbbing pain in the dream had passed, and the little dumpling in her belly was very quiet, as if there was no serious problem, so Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Childhood memories rushed into my mind for no reason, and it was also this thumping heartbeat, and it was also the sound of waking up to someone else's call—the glare of the lights, the doctor in the white coat, and the ticking of the instruments.

At that time he was still too young, maybe only three or four years old?The scene that had been submerged in the long river of memory was suddenly recalled at this time, and it was so clear.

Yu Feng gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked warmly, "Is Xiao Yezi hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Su Ye shook her head, her voice hoarse, "I ate a lot at night, and I'm not hungry yet."

Yu Feng smiled and said, "Drink a bowl of sugar water to moisten your throat?"

Su Ye didn't actually have any appetite, but in order not to worry him, he said "OK" softly.

Yu Feng kissed his forehead, lifted the quilt very carefully, got out of bed and poured water.

There is a big belly stove in the house, burning charcoal all the time, with rice porridge warmed on it, and boiled mountain spring water.

Yu Feng brewed sugar water lightly and fed it to Su Ye's mouth.

After Su Ye drank the water, she nestled into Yu Feng's arms again, and gradually fell asleep.

-

Shao Ping has been staying in the valley recently directing the soldiers to set up the ladder, and he didn't even come when Su Ye and Yu Feng moved to a new house.

Fortunately, there are pigeons in the valley, which is convenient for passing news to the outside. He knows what happened in Yujia Village.

He heard that Su Ye was pregnant, so he made a special trip here.

Su Ye also happened to ask him something.

"Brother Ping, you told me before that my father arranged a way out for me, did you mean marrying into the Huo family?"

Shao Ping was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Yu Feng, and asked without answering, "Why did Xiao Ye suddenly mention this? Could it be that the Huo family is doing something?"

Su Ye looked at him and couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Brother Ping, don't think too much, I just want to ask about the past, did my father reach an agreement with the Huo family?"

Shao Ping breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Su is doing that, I don't know much about it, but..."

"But what?"

"Master Hou did help General Huo."

Su Ye was stunned, and asked uncertainly, "You mean Huo Da?"

Shao Ping shook his head, "It's General Huo, the grandfather of General Huo."

Su Ye searched in his memory, and then remembered that Huo Da lost his father when he was young, and was raised by General Huo. However, that veteran general with great military exploits unfortunately died in the First Battle of Nanshan.

It was also from that time that Huo Da carried the banner of the Huo family army alone, led the Erlang family to fight all the way, and finally, together with the Mu family and the Xiao family, sent Xiao Heng to the throne.

The young general is praised by everyone, but how many people know the pain of losing a loved one and the strife and danger behind it?

Su Ye couldn't help feeling sorry for Huo Da. He was only in his 20s, and he had to bear so much.

Shao Ping continued: "In the Battle of Nanshan, Old General Huo was betrayed by the deputy commander and was seriously injured. The Jingwei camp of the Huo family army was almost wiped out. It was Hou Ye who blocked the late emperor's army and won them a chance of survival."

Su Ye nodded. From this point of view, the Huo family indeed owed a great favor to Marquis Yong'an.

In this way, even though Marquis Yong'an knew that Su Yelan was not Shuang'er, it was not impossible to deliberately set up such a situation in order to keep him.

However, what puzzled Su Ye was why Su Yelan didn't have pregnancy marks, but why did he have them after time travelling?

Also, why did he suffer from severe "osteogenesis imperfecta" before crossing over, but Su Yelan completely recovered after crossing over?

Could it be... this is God's will?

Yu Feng squeezed Su Ye's hand, and called softly, "Little Ye, what are you thinking?"

The matter of time travel is mysterious and mysterious, Su Ye doesn't know how to talk about it.

He could only shake his head and smile, and then asked: "Brother Ping, how is the ladder going? Is everything going well?"

Speaking of this, Shao Ping seldom showed a smile, "Xiao Ye has a way, brothers, do as you say, it really saves time and effort."

Su Ye smiled and said, "This method is mainly to ensure safety, and you must not rush into it."

Shao Ping nodded, "Don't worry Xiaoye, the brothers are full of energy, and I look forward to seeing the young master soon."

Su Ye smiled and waved his hands, "You don't have to pay me a visit. I'll treat you with good wine and food when you come out."

Speaking of this, Shao Ping smiled again, "The pickles brought to Guzhong last time were not enough, and those brats almost fought for a bite."

The words "to fight" are of course a joke, but it is true that the pickles are not enough.

Su Ye paused, and said, "The amount needed in Guzhong is too large. It's okay to talk to the aunt and aunt. It's just that Hou An is in charge of keeping the accounts, so I'm afraid it's not easy to fool."

Shao Ping said decisively: "As long as there are enough pickles, I'll talk to Xiaoan."

Su Ye was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Shao Ping was still Hou An's "master" after careful calculation!

"Since Brother Ping is sure, Hou An will leave it to you. I just ask my aunt to provide enough pickles and tempeh."

Su Ye's smile continued, "Just in time, the radishes and cabbages in the field are about to be harvested, so I'm not afraid there won't be enough."

"Success!" Shao Ping smiled and responded simply.

Before leaving, Shao Ping handed Yu Feng a super big basket.

This basket is woven from a kind of flexible grass stem in the valley, and it is stuffed with wild mushrooms and wild fruits.

Shao Ping instructed in a deep voice, "Now that Xiaoye is pregnant, the brothers are all thinking about it. Everyone found it in the woods. You packed it up and cooked it for him."

"Brother Ping, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoye." Yu Feng was grateful in his heart, but he didn't say too many polite words, "When the time comes, call the brothers to drink the full moon wine."

"Well, definitely come." Shao Ping patted him on the shoulder and left with confidence.
