Xiao Yunchen had just come to the Shen Mansion and said that he wanted to take Li Sisi back to the mansion. After all, there was a palace banquet tomorrow, and it was such an important occasion, so Chen Fu, as his wife, had to go with him.

In Mrs. Shen’s yard, the elders of the Shen family gathered together.

Madam Shen sighed helplessly and said slowly: "As a mother, I can see that Fu'er still has feelings for the Xiao family's Erlang. Now she refuses to go back with him no matter what. She must be afraid!"

Upon hearing this, Master Shen frowned and said in a cold and rude voice, "She's been spoiled by you, that's why she doesn't know the rules! A married woman should obey her husband. How can a married woman continue to live in her parents' home? Even if she's being naughty, there should be a limit!"

Old Madam Shen echoed this, her tone serious: "That's right! A daughter who's married off is like spilled water. Our Shen family is a family of scholars, not an ordinary family. Even ordinary families wouldn't act so casually. Since Fu'er has married into the Xiao family, she will be a member of the Xiao family in life and a ghost of the Xiao family in death."

She looked at Madam Shen and suppressed her with a hint of meaning: "Men are the sky, women are the earth, women are born to be in the lower class, and they should know how to be gentle! Gentleness is the root of women, and obedience is the essence of women! No matter what our husbands do, we should accept it!"

At this point, Mrs. Shen thought of Shen Fu's various behaviors after returning home, and suddenly raised her voice and said angrily: "Look at what she said at home these past two days! Divorce? What decent woman would divorce her husband's family so soon after getting married? She is so reckless. If we follow her will, won't our Shen family be laughed at by the world in the future!"

Mrs. Shen clenched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling distressed and reluctant to part with her daughter, but she also understood that what her mother-in-law said made sense.

She spoke cautiously, "Then your daughter-in-law should go and persuade Fu'er to go to the palace banquet with Xiao's Erlang tomorrow, and let her stay at home for another day today?"

Hearing her say this, Madam Shen's attitude softened a bit: "Yeah."

Flicking the Buddhist beads on her wrist, Madam Shen continued, "Her temper has become even worse since she got married. You must teach her a lesson. From now on, she must consider the reputation of the Shen family when she speaks and does things. She must be polite and abide by the rules. She must never be so willful as she is now."

Madam Shen nodded: “My daughter-in-law understands it, and I will definitely persuade her well.”

The interior room of the clinic.

The old doctor put his hand on Li Nian's pulse.

Li Sisi stood beside him, staring at him with a nervous expression.

After a moment, the old doctor's weather-beaten face blossomed into a chrysanthemum-like smile: "Congratulations, young lady. According to my pulse, you are pregnant. The fetus in your belly is about twenty days old."

Li Sisi's pupils trembled, and she subconsciously held onto the table and asked nervously, "Are you sure you're pregnant? Do you want to take another look?"

The old doctor raised his head and said unhappily, "I have been practicing for decades and have taken hundreds of pulses. There is no way I could be wrong."

Suddenly thinking of something, the old doctor frowned and looked at the young couple in front of him with a questioning look, "Don't you want this child?"

"Yes!" Li Nian unconsciously touched her still flat belly. It was amazing that she actually had her own child.

Upon hearing this, the old doctor glanced at Li Sisi, as if asking for her opinion.

Li Sisi was dressed as a man today, so it was easy for people to mistake her for Li Nian's husband.

She didn't intend to clarify and just accepted the identity, nodding and saying, "My wife said yes, so yes."

The old doctor originally thought that the young lady's husband was unreliable, but after hearing her say this, he felt a little relieved.

So I started writing medical advice.

The two men came out of the clinic and found a private room in a restaurant for dinner. There were too many people in the clinic and it was difficult to talk about many things.

At this moment, Li Sisi asked her personal maid to wait outside the door, and Li Nian also asked Xiaohong to guard outside the door.

Even before the dishes were served, Li Sisi couldn't wait to lower her voice and ask, "Niannian, are you really determined to keep this child?"

Li Nian nodded seriously and whispered, "I can raise her well by myself. Although she may not have a father, she will have a mother who loves her very much. I won't let her lack family affection."

"What's more, she has more than one mother. She also has you as her godmother." Li Nian's eyes curved slightly, and she looked a little happy. "In fact, I originally thought that after I left, I would go to Ren Yazi to buy two young children and raise them back home. They can take care of us in our old age and see us to the end of our lives."

"Now that I'm pregnant, I can save some money. Besides, biological children are always more reliable than those bought."

After listening to her plan, Li Sisi thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Now that you put it that way, pregnancy seems to be a good idea."

Li Nian smiled with her eyes curved: "It's nothing!"

Suddenly, Li Nian's happy expression turned serious: "Actually, I have something more important to tell you today."

Li Sisi asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

"I suspect the heroine is reborn." Li Nian's mind drifted back to the scene on the horse racing track that day, and he told Li Sisi carefully.

After hearing Li Nian's statement, Li Sisi immediately cursed, "She's crazy! She actually framed you!" Then, with lingering fear, she said, "Luckily, Xiao Yunyu protected you at the time, otherwise if you had fallen... Fortunately, you're okay. The bastard finally did something humane."

"Well, now that I think about it, it's really dangerous." Li Nian's solemn eyes flashed with a cold light. "I didn't want to confront her at first. She wants two men, so we can just give them to her. We don't want them anyway."

Li Nian didn't expect that the kind-hearted and generous heroine in the original novel would actually frame her child out of jealousy. She took her own pulse that day and it was obvious that she knew she was pregnant. She did that later, probably because of possessiveness.

She said in a deep voice: "Sisi, I have thought of a way to leave, but I need Wen Luoqing's help for this matter."

Li Sisi asked doubtfully, "Isn't Wen Luoqing the heroine's sister? Will she help you?"

She thought of her only contact with Wen Luoqing, frowned, and said worriedly, "It seems like we don't have a good relationship with her. Wasn't it her who instigated her lackeys to cause trouble for us last time at Xia Garden?"

Li Nian had already thought of a countermeasure when she returned from the horse farm that day, and said firmly: "She can make money, she will."

Li Sisi stopped asking questions after hearing that. After all, Nian Nian said she would definitely do it. "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Nian didn't plan to tell her the whole plan right now. Sisi was too soft-hearted, and her idea was a bit bad. It would be better not to let Sisi know too early, so as not to make her feel bad.

"Don't ask now. You'll know when the time comes. You just need to cooperate with the acting."

Originally, she just wanted to leave quietly with Sisi and not provoke anyone, but if someone wanted to come to her door, don't blame her for taking someone with her before she dies!
