Since she is so nervous, let her relax a little and we can talk about it later.

Peggy was slightly stunned, and the white fox ears on her head stood up. Then she carefully crawled to Reiner and hugged him gently.

Her movements were too stiff, not at all the charming feeling she had before.

Reiner asked knowingly, "You seem to be worried about something. Is Diast's caravan not going well? If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know. Just make sure you rest and don't overwork yourself."

Peggy seemed relieved at the mention of this, her tail wagging vigorously. "No, the caravan went smoothly. I made a lot of money for the kingdom and brought back a lot of demihumans."

"That's right, I knew you were smart and would definitely be good at business." Reiner stroked her fox ears, "Come closer and let me rub your shoulders."

Peggy moved over obediently, and then continued, "I also discovered a crop called potatoes."

At this point, she suddenly turned around and explained seriously, "The potato I'm talking about isn't Aliana, but a similar-sounding crop. I've always heard people call it 'Engong potatoes, potatoes,' but I never thought there really was such a thing. It's really outrageous."

Reiner blushed, nodded, and replied, "It's a bit strange indeed."

Peggy continued, "It was brought back from another continent by Diast's maritime merchants. It's said that it can be grown even in the coldest and most barren places, and it has a good yield and is very durable in storage.

I tried it and it tasted pretty good, so I brought it back. We might be able to use it later, and I've even asked for advice on how to grow it."

Reiner nodded.

The yield of potatoes is much higher than that of barley and rye, the difficulty of growing them is about the same, and it is much less troublesome.

After a while, we can let the slaves captured from Barnet try growing potatoes instead.

"Damn Peggy." Reiner touched her fox ears, then leaned over and kissed her.

Peggy's inner voice drifted over again.

(My benefactor seems to be in a good mood now, so why don’t I take this opportunity to talk about it.)

She would touch her belly intentionally or unintentionally. It was obvious that she really wanted to tell Reiner the news, but she was afraid that Reiner would not let her give birth.

She knew that there was some difference in status between her and Nora Martina and the others...

In short, it is not orthodox enough.

In fact, Reiner didn't think that much.

He had promised before that if they really had a child, he would let her have it.

After thinking for a while, Peggy still didn't say anything.

She leaned against Reiner absentmindedly.

"What's going on? We can fix it together."

Peggy lowered her voice and said, "Actually... I've run into a little trouble, but I think I can handle it."

"What little trouble?" Reiner gently grabbed her fox tail.

Paige, distraught, made up a story: "It's just... a money problem."

Reiner then pointed out, "You just said everything was going smoothly, and now you're saying there's a problem with the money. That doesn't make sense. You're nervous."

She is indeed smart, but her brain tends to bug out when she is nervous.

Peggy was slightly stunned and realized that she had been exposed.

"Tell me what's on your mind. You can't lie to me." Reiner grabbed her ear and sniffed it.

There is no smell, it seems I washed it last night.

Seeing that she had been found out, Peggy seemed even more nervous.

Even my breathing became rapid.

After a long time, Peggy slowly turned her body and her ears drooped.

She hesitated and spoke with difficulty: "My benefactor...I might be pregnant with your child."
