As soon as Fang Ruotang arrived at Lei Pingting's courtyard, she put a small pill that would help her give birth smoothly into her mouth.

Aside from her slightly furrowed brows, Lei Pingting seemed fine.

She could even comfort Fang Ruotang with a smile.

"I'm fine. Why did you come here alone? Where are your second brother and the others?"

"They're moving slowly, they're behind. Second sister-in-law, how are you? Are you in a lot of pain?"

"Just a little bit, I can bear it. I was just about to take the medicine you prepared for me! And here you are!"

Before leaving home, Fang Ruotang was afraid she wouldn't be able to make it back to see her second sister-in-law give birth, so she specially took some birth control pills from Xiao Jingzi.

This will ensure that Lei Pingting can give birth to the child smoothly.

"Sixth grade."

Lei Pingting suddenly grabbed Fang Ruotang's wrist, her expression changed, and she said with a complicated look, "The child, the baby, is out."

"What?" Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded.

Lei Pingting reached under her skirt and pulled out a baby doll, which startled Fang Ruotang so much that she cried out.

Her eyes widened, she gasped, and leaned back, her face filled with terror.

"Second Young Mistress, ah!"

The other maids, who were busy with their own things, all rushed to Lei Pingting's side when they saw this scene.

The midwife ignored everything else and rushed over to take the baby, noticing that the baby's umbilical cord was still connected to the mother.

Even though she considered herself to have picked up at least 80 newborns, she couldn't stay calm this time and urged Lei Pingting to go to bed quickly.

Fang Ruotang stood there in a daze, and she didn't come to her senses until she was chased out of the delivery room by the maid.

I just stood there at the door.

Those who arrived later were terrified by her expression.

One by one, they asked in unison, "What happened? What happened?"

Fang Ruotang, seeing the people surrounding her, snapped out of her daze and mimicked Lei Pingting's earlier behavior with a very interesting expression.

"Second sister-in-law, she just reached out and the baby came out, really, she just reached out like that."

Fang Zhiye was initially extremely anxious, but seeing Fang Ruotang still joking around, he knew that his wife was doing well, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you take medication? Did the delivery go smoothly?"

"Yes, I gave her the medicine, and she took the baby out."

Fang Ruotang was clearly still in shock.

Shu laughed and lightly slapped her, scolding, "What are you talking about, taking things out? How can you talk like that? It's uncivilized."

Fang Ruotang really wanted to argue that this was how her second sister-in-law gave birth.

"Alright, alright, we don't need you here. You should hurry back and check on your six husbands! They're all waiting for you in the hall."

After all, it was a woman from the Prime Minister's household who gave birth.

The other six couldn't come along.

"Okay, sure!"

Fang Ruotang walked unsteadily to the hall.

The six men were startled to see her like this and all gathered around her, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid, we won't have children."

"Yes! We sixth graders are still just children, why would we need to have more? We don't need to."

The six men were eager to state their position.

"I wasn't scared. It was just my second sister-in-law giving birth. She just pulled the baby out with a 'biu' sound, like that."

The six men looked at each other strangely and stepped forward to grab Fang Ruotang's hand that was constantly reaching under her skirt.

That's really indecent.

"Alright, we understand. You don't need to perform anymore."

The six people chattered amongst themselves, trying to steer the conversation away from the topic.

Where will we stay?

"It's my turn today. I live in the same courtyard as you, right?" Gu Nancheng was extremely nervous.

It only happens once every six days, which is already a long wait. If it's delayed any further, a cycle can take more than ten days.

"You can sleep in my room, the rest of you can go home!" Fang Ruotang waved her hand, looking like she was herding ducks.

Cui Shixu laughed and said, "I just told my mother that I had come home with my little wife, and you kicked me out. Where am I supposed to put my face?"

Fang Ruotang thought about it and agreed.

"Alright, you can stay!"

Ye Wuxia asked, "I married into your family. It's not right for you to kick me out."

Fang Ruotang felt that Ye Wuxia's words made sense.

"You stay too."

"Go ahead and take care of your business! Especially you, Brother Yan, hurry up and do your thing. I'll probably only stay here for a day or two before heading back to the Cloud Deep Continent."

Gu Yanjin choked.

He looked at Fang Ruotang helplessly.

“Originally, I wanted to come back because I was afraid that my father would act recklessly and ruin the great situation. I thought that since someone was going to come back anyway, I might as well come back and see. Now that my aunt is in power, it’s even better. I don’t have to worry about these things anymore. My aunt will be a good empress and will make the people’s lives prosperous.”

"So you're alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine now, and I'm no longer the Crown Prince. I can't go back to the Eastern Palace, and I have nowhere to stay."

"Why don't you have anywhere to live? Didn't I buy you a house? Can't you live there?" Fang Ruotang's words were not meant to drive Gu Yanjin away, but were simply a response to his lack of a place to live.

Gu Yanjin: ...

"And you?" Fang Ruotang asked Huo Zhige.

Huo Zhige said, "I don't get along with my grandmother. She killed my mother and abused me when I was young. You know that. I don't want to go back to the general's mansion."

"Is that so? Is that alright?"

"I'll be with you."

Rong Xing stood aside and only spoke up when Fang Ruotang asked him.

Fang Ruotang said, "Okay, let's squeeze in!"

Before they could finish speaking, someone from the gatehouse came to report that people had come to see them, and it wasn't just one person; there were three households in total.

"I'm not good at entertaining guests, why don't you go?" Fang Ruotang looked at Ye Wuxia with a bitter face.

Ye Wuxia said, "Don't worry about it. They didn't send a visiting card beforehand and just came to our door. Once we meet this one, people will come in droves and we won't be able to keep up with the guests."

Fang Ruotang thought about it and agreed.

They rejected them all outright.

"I'm going to check out the new site of Tianyi Sect. Wuyou just led my three disciples there, and I need to see it for myself."

"I'll go with you."

The six men had a great understanding.

Fang Ruotang waved her hand and said, "Nancheng can stay with me. You all go about your own business! Those who need to see their families should see their families, and those who need to take care of their business should take care of their business. Don't keep bothering me!"

The six men originally planned to wait until dark, go to bed, and then attend to their private matters, but after hearing Fang Ruotang's words, they obediently stopped following her.

Gu Nancheng grinned, showing off his big white teeth, looking like a village idiot, which was a real disservice to his handsome face.

"That's wonderful, you belong to me alone today."

"Yes, every six days, one day will belong to you. Doesn't that make you happier?"

"Yes! Ruoruo, you're so kind."

Fang Ruotang has a sweet tongue and is used to coaxing people like this. Moreover, she is lazy, so her words are basically the same every time.

But since all six of them liked hearing such words, she often said them, and they all felt that she was a gentle and considerate good woman.
