Qian Zhao tucked Ling Zhouyang into a quilt and moved his body out to avoid accidentally touching Ling Zhouyang's belly.
Turning to look at the satisfied expression on her face, Qian Zhao's thoughts flew back to two months ago...
Wu Yongyou's seventh year, May 15th.
Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi got married in the Ning family's old house in a low-key manner.
On the wedding day, only Yang Ying and the brothers from Liudaotang and a few acquaintances from the Yulin Army were present.
Wudu, Ningzhai.
Red silk is hung in front of the Ning family's old house, which is festive but not ostentatious.
In the courtyard of Ning's house, there were more than a dozen tables of banquets, most of which were acquaintances of Liudaotang.
Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou wore red wedding clothes, and their wedding clothes were embroidered with Ruyi auspicious patterns.
Ning Yuanzhou married Ren Ruyi in the presence of a group of friends.
Yu Shisan was the one to officiate, so he was dressed very grandly today, unlike the white and plain clothes before.
"Watch heaven and earth as a lesson."
"Two surnames will always make you happy."
"Three times worship the false idol Tiancheng, and we can join hands for a hundred years!"
After Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou finished paying homage to each other, Yu Shisan shouted at the top of his lungs: "After paying homage, it's time for the bridal chamber!!"
Yuan Lu, Yang Ying and Sun Lang showed their big teeth and followed Yu Shisan in making noises.
The corners of Qian Zhao's mouth raised slightly, watching them making trouble.
Ning Yuanzhou's tone was a bit gritty: "What's the fuss about? Isn't the wine today enough for you?"
After this sound, Yu Shisanjing fell silent. The smiles of Yuan Lu and Sun Lang froze on their faces. Yang Ying looked at Ren Ruyi, feeling at a loss.
Ren Ruyi looked at Yang Ying's pitiful look and spoke to save her: "Okay, don't scare them."
Yang Ying immediately ran to hold Ren Ruyi's arm with a smile on her face: "Sister Ruyi is the best, I like sister Ruyi the most."
Ren Ruyi glanced at Yuan Lu with a vague look, and joked: "Are you sure the person you like the most is me?"
Yang Ying's cheeks were stained with a crimson blush, and she said coyly: "Sister Ruyi~"
Ren Ruyi said softly: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, go play with Yuan Lu and the others."
Yang Ying was also afraid that Ren Ruyi would say something teasing her again, so before Ren Ruyi finished speaking, she had already run to Yuan Lu.
Ren Ruyi turned to look at Ning Yuanzhou: "Yuanzhou, I'll go back to the room. You drink with them first."
Ning Yuanzhou said softly: "Okay, go ahead."
Ren Ruyi nodded to the others and left the front yard.
As soon as she walked to the door of the wedding room, Ren Ruyi felt a familiar breath.
"Come out."
Ling Zhouyang responded with a smile on her face.
Her tone was helpless: "I really can't hide it from you." Then she threw a brocade box into Ren Ruyi's arms: "Wedding gift."
Ren Ruyi opened the brocade box and was a little confused: "Medicine?"
Ling Zhouyang nodded lightly: "Don't you want to have a baby? The white bottle is for conditioning the body, and you know the black bottle is for adding a little fun."
Ren Ruyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "So this is how you conceived your child?"
Ling Zhouyang nodded hesitantly and then shook his head: "It doesn't count."
Under Ren Ruyi's scrutinizing gaze, Ling Zhouyang coughed lightly and replied with a guilty conscience: "I just secretly added a little more ingredients."
Ren Ruyi asked again: "Then do you plan to see him?"
Ling Zhouyang: "I'm gone. Don't tell him I've been here, let alone where I am."
Ren Ruyi said simply: "Don't worry, but with your stomach, are you sure you want to go back?"
Ling Zhouyang wrote lightly: "Don't worry, I will come back naturally if I can come." At the end, she also warned: "Remember, don't tell him."
Seeing Ren Ruyi nodded, Ling Zhouyang turned around and left through the back door.
Looking at the box in his hand, Ren Ruyi sighed and returned to the wedding room.
Qian Zhao's figure was revealed behind the courtyard door connecting the front and backyard.
He stared at the place where Ling Zhouyang was standing just now, lowered his eyes, and his eyes gradually darkened.
Ah Yang still didn't want to see him.
The memory ends.
Qian Zhao looked at Ling Zhouyang, who was sleeping beside him, and turned to face her. He lowered his head slightly and placed a kiss on Ling Zhouyang's forehead.
Fortunately, he found Ayang.
…
Early the next morning.
Qian Zhao got up early and went to the market to buy the freshest meat and vegetables.
Therefore, as soon as Ling Zhouyang woke up, she smelled a scent.
Ling Zhouyang was sitting on the bed, her eyes were sleepy and she looked a little dazed. Her voice was slightly hoarse: "Qian Zhaozhao!"
Just a moment after she finished speaking, Qian Zhao arrived in front of her.
He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched Lingzhouyang's forehead, his tone was very worried: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, put on my shoes." After saying that, Lingzhouyang lifted the quilt and stretched her feet out of the bed.
Qian Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, then knelt down and put on Ling Zhouyang's shoes, then helped her sit down at the round table.
Ling Zhouyang looked at the figure busy back and forth. She curled her lips. It felt good to be taken care of.
After breakfast, Ling Zhouyang was in a good mood, so she took Qian Zhao for a walk around the courtyard.
Qian Zhao supported Ling Zhouyang, and the two of them walked on the bluestone, feeling the tranquility of the water town in the early morning.
"You came out like this, can your lords agree?" Ling Zhouyang suddenly thought of this question.
Qian Zhaoping said calmly: "I took leave and told Sun Lang that if I don't go back for a month, he will hand me a resignation letter."
"Are you really going to resign?" Although she had a guess yesterday, she was not sure.
Qian Zhao: "Well, everything that needs to be done is done, and I am not ashamed of my family."
Ling Zhouyang stopped and said, "Qian Zhao, I'm asking you seriously, please answer honestly, okay?"
Qian Zhao looked calm: "Okay, you ask."
Ling Zhouyang cleared her throat and asked, "You really didn't resign because of me, right?"
Qian Zhao: "Not all of them, for you it's just one of them."
"So Ayang, don't feel burdened."
Hearing this, Ling Zhouyang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's go back."
On the way back, there were gradually more and more people.
Qian Zhao carefully protected Ling Zhouyang in his arms, fearing that she might get bumped.
"Good morning, Miss Shangluca." A woman wearing a lotus-colored cloth walked towards us and called out with a smile.
Ling Zhouyang smiled and said hello: "Good morning, Mrs. Chen, where are you going this early in the morning?"
Aunt Chen stopped in front of Ling Zhouyang: "I'm going back to my parents' house. My sister-in-law has given birth. I'll go back and take care of her for a few days."
After saying that, she first looked at Lingzhouyang's belly, then looked at Qian Zhao, and then asked: "Looking at your belly, I'm afraid it's going to be fast. Is this young master your husband?"
Ling Zhouyang nodded slightly: "Well, the baby will be born in one month. Yes, he is my husband."
When Qian Zhao heard Ling Zhouyang's answer, his heart was instantly filled with joy.
He looked at Ling Zhouyang with gentle eyes and raised the corners of his lips.
Aunt Chen: "Let me tell you, you are so beautiful, how could you be abandoned? Those talkative women gather under the locust tree every day to make up for you, saying that you got pregnant out of wedlock and were kicked out by your family. I see you I really should take your husband-in-law to hang out in front of them."
Ling Zhouyang said indifferently: "The mouth is on them, let them go."
Aunt Chen sighed: "Miss Shangluca, you are so soft-hearted."
Ling Zhouyang smiled lightly and said nothing.
Aunt Chen raised her head and glanced at the sky, and said hurriedly: "It's getting late, so I'll leave first. If you need my help later, just come to my house to find me."
Ling Zhouyang replied softly: "Okay, Mrs. Chen, walk slowly."
