Shen Nian was so sad that she just lowered her head, wiped her tears, and sobbed softly.

When Lu Yun saw this scene, he looked at Shen Nian in disbelief, “Are you really pregnant?”

Qi Yuning said, "I checked her pulse. It was very obvious that Shen Nian was pregnant. Even an inexperienced doctor could confirm that she was pregnant."

When Lu Yun heard this, he still looked at Shen Nian in disbelief, how could she be pregnant?

Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Yun angrily and said, "What kind of thing have you done? You're really going to piss me off to death! I've been so indulgent with you that you've become so daring that you've either become a nun or done something as absurd as getting pregnant before marriage!"

Listening to Shen Nian's crying, Lu Yun didn't dare to say a word.

Princess Pingrou was so angry that she took the cane, endured the pain and hit Lu Yun several times, then threw the cane aside.

Duke Lu looked on with heartache, and even said to Princess Pingrou, "Now that things have come to this, beating Lu Yun again will not help. We should think about how to make amends."

Princess Pingrou looked at Shen Nian who was standing beside her and said, “Don’t cry either.”

Shen Nian wiped her tears with a handkerchief and stopped sobbing.

Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Ze and said, "Ze'er, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Lu Ze said: "Now that things have come to this, Lu Yun dared to do such a reckless thing, so he must be responsible for Shen Nian. After the national mourning period, he must marry Shen Nian.

After Chen Nian entered the sect, she went to the farm to take care of her pregnancy on the pretext of recuperating from illness.

Wait a few months before announcing your pregnancy. Stay at the farm until the child is over a year old, then bring the child back to Shengjing City and introduce him to the public. Five months won't be noticeable, but the child's birthdate will be changed, causing him to be born five months later."

Princess Pingrou nodded, "This is indeed the only way now."

Princess Pingrou said to Chen Nian, "It's getting late. You should take Han Ge'er back first. I'll go find your stepmother another day to discuss your marriage."

Princess Pingrou said to Lu Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, "Send her back to the palace."

Lu Yun endured the pain in his body and stood up, following Shen Nian all the way to Shen's house without saying a word.

When Shen Nian was about to enter the house, she saw Lu Yun's unhappy expression and said, "If you really don't want to marry me and are afraid of losing face if you marry me, I can also give up this child."

Lu Yun said in a deep voice, "I just didn't expect that I would become a father so soon. You should take good care of the baby in your belly. I will be responsible for you."

Chen Nian looked at the young man in front of him, a trace of guilt flashed through his heart, and then he looked at Han Ge'er who was clinging to him in his arms, but then he thought, it was Lu Yun who lost his memory first and provoked them mother and son, so why should he feel guilty?

After Lu Yun sent Chen Nian away, he returned to the princess's mansion and saw that everyone in the hall was still there.

Princess Pingrou angrily scolded Lu Yun and knelt down, "When did you start with her?"

Lu Yun said: "When I lost my memory and returned to Shengjing City, my mind was crazy and confused. I thought she was my wife. Later, after I recovered my memory, I had been avoiding her, but...

I also know that there should be no absurdity between the state and filial piety, but I..."

Princess Pingrou said, "Things have come to this. I will smooth things over for you, but you will eventually become a father, so you should be more sensible. Your eldest brother is now the regent, so you should be more considerate of him. After your grandfather passed away, you can no longer act as you please."

Lu Yun responded, "Yes."

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yun and felt that he seemed to have grown up a lot. It was impossible for her to say that she did not hate Lu Yun. If she had not married Lu Ze later, she would be a laughing stock in Shengjing City now.

But now that she has become his sister-in-law, Qi Yuning naturally does not want Lu Yun to implicate her and Lu Ze. They are all family now. If he can mend his ways and be a good person, then everything will be fine.

Lu Ze and Qi Yuning returned to their room.

Qi Yuning looked at Lingling, who had fallen asleep under the candlelight, and said to Lu Ze, "Lingling never mentioned any brothers or sisters at home, but she did talk about Brother Han."

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning, "What do you mean?"

Qi Yuning said, "I'm worried that Shen Nian's pregnancy might not be safe, so I need her to take good care of it."

Lu Ze said: "Chen Nian will definitely take good care of the baby in her belly. Lu Yun is confused, but Chen Nian is so much older than him, is she also so confused?

She got pregnant during the national mourning period, and Lu Yun couldn't be blamed alone. Lu Yun deserved to be scolded, and it wasn't necessarily good for Shen Nian either.

This isn't the first time Shen Nian is pregnant. I'm afraid she's deliberately revealing it in front of you today. I'm afraid the child in her belly isn't necessarily what she wanted."

Qi Yuning had the same idea in her mind as Lu Ze, but Chen Nian's biological father was her fourth uncle's benefactor and a hero of the Qi family army. Qi Yuning couldn't be as blunt as Lu Ze said.

Qi Yuning originally thought that Chen Nian was a good sister-in-law, but now she thinks that one can only know a person's face but not his heart. This Chen Nian is not simple.

Qi Yuning said, "Well, when she gets married, I'll just have less contact with her and just maintain the superficial courtesy and harmony between us sisters-in-law."

Lu Ze said, "Yeah."

Qi Yuning looked at the sleeping little Lingling and smiled faintly, "In a few days, Lingling and I will be able to leave the hospital."

Lu Ze asked, "Where do you want to go after you can go out?"

"Qingshan Tower, eat honey-roasted pigeon!"

Lu Ze smiled faintly, "Well, when you are able to go out, I will take you to eat honey-glazed pigeon."

Qi Yuning stayed in confinement for thirty-one days. Originally, Princess Pingrou wanted Qi Yuning to stay in confinement for forty-five days, but Qi Yuning was really unbearable. After much persuasion, and after the imperial physician came to check her health, Princess Pingrou agreed that Qi Yuning could stop the confinement period. However, when going out, she had to cover her head to avoid the wind.
