Chapter 679 It Can't Be As You Wish

The woman hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked the woman on the clothes, "May I ask, young lady, have we met somewhere before?"

Yi Shangyun was feeling a little unwell, so she put one hand on her abdomen. Upon hearing the sound, she quickly perked up and straightened up.

He looked the woman in front of him up again, and after a moment of recollection, said, "Have we... met before?"

I could see that she seemed to have no memory of me at all.

The woman thought about it again and finally remembered.

He then took the child from his arms and stepped forward, his face beaming with delight as he pointed out, "Oh, by the way, young lady, take a closer look at this child; he has a twin sister..."

"twin……"

At this point, Yi Shangyun finally managed to slowly unearth this long-buried memory.

She exclaimed in surprise, "You...you are the sister-in-law who had a difficult childbirth while pregnant with twins all those years ago!"

"Yes, yes, it's me, it's me." The woman nodded vigorously at him, so excited that she could hardly speak.

After a long while, he calmed down a bit and said, "I never thought I would see you again in this lifetime. I am so happy."

The woman still feels lingering fear when she recalls that perilous moment.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wipe away his tears again: "If it weren't for that girl that year, my two children and I would not be alive today. These two children were born prematurely, and everyone said they wouldn't survive, or even if they did, they would be mentally challenged."

The woman hugged her child tightly with heartache, paused, and continued, "Only you, young lady, comforted me and carefully taught me how to increase the intimacy between myself and my child through breastfeeding, physical contact, communication, and interaction, which is also beneficial to the child's intellectual development. Now, my two children are healthy, lively, and even grow better than normal children."

Hearing the woman's words, Yi Shangyun was truly moved. She took the woman's arm and praised her, "Sister-in-law, you did a really good job!"

The woman sniffed and said, "It's all thanks to the young lady for teaching me these methods. Otherwise, how could an illiterate woman like me know these things? I'm afraid the child would really have been ruined and become what they say he is..."

Yi Shangyun pursed her lips and said modestly, "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. I was just doing what a doctor should do."

At this moment, the woman's face suddenly darkened, and she said, "Young lady, you don't know this, but in fact, on this grassland, men have always been superior to women. When women get sick, they don't even dare to see a doctor. They often either gather herbs randomly to eat or just wait to die."

There was a moment of silence.

Seeing Yi Shangyun before her now clearly brought her new hope, so she asked with hopeful eyes, "Miss, now that you're back, you won't leave again, right? Then, if any of my sisters or friends get sick in the future, can I take them to you for treatment?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun smiled slightly, but suddenly began to stammer, "I..."

Just then, the woman glanced at Tuoba Ze, who was standing not far from the two of them, glaring angrily at her, and was startled.

After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that something was wrong.

So he asked, "By the way, where is that young master who was with you back then?"

Perhaps due to nervousness when Tuoba Hong was mentioned again, or for other reasons, a sudden feeling of discomfort struck her body.

Yi Shangyun then secretly placed one hand on his stomach, stammering, clearly unsure how to answer her: "That young master... he..."

This subtle movement was noticed by Tuoba Ze, who was nearby, and he frowned.

Unexpectedly, the woman seemed completely oblivious, and then suddenly blurted out, "You and that young man are both kind-faced and compassionate, like true healers. You seem perfectly matched. You're a perfect couple, a match made in heaven! You must be married already!"

"He...he..."

Yi Shangyun was eager to try, but she didn't know how to tell the truth several times. She just kept her hand pressed tightly against her abdomen, and occasionally she seemed to bite her lip with a little effort.

Just then, Tuoba Ze could no longer bear it and went straight up to the woman, telling her, "They probably can't do as you wish... that man is already dead!"

Not only that, but he then issued a warning to her: "Also, if you dare to continue asking questions, be careful that I make sure your entire tribe can no longer stay on this grassland."

Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun glared at Tuoba Ze and said fiercely, "Tuoba Ze, what are you saying?... Shut up!"

In an instant, the woman's pupils dilated, and she let out a series of startled cries.

"What……"

"The young master is dead..."

How could that be?

"This person... looks somewhat familiar?"

Just as the woman stood there, stunned and incredulous.

Tuoba Ze suddenly stepped forward, bent down unexpectedly, and picked up Yi Shangyun in his arms.

Yi Shangyun was genuinely startled by his actions, and looked at his face in surprise, repeatedly questioning him.

"Tuoba Ze... what are you going to do?"

"Hurry up and put me down."

Tuoba Ze said calmly, "This prince is feeling sleepy and needs to go back to rest."

Yi Shangyun had to hook her arms around his neck to maintain her balance, but she said with a puzzled look, "If you want to go back and rest, then go. Why are you dragging me along? I'm not a three-year-old."

Feeling her struggle in his arms, Tuoba Ze said domineeringly, "Don't speak, and don't make any futile struggles. You know it's useless!"

Watching the two figures walk away together, the woman murmured to herself.

"The First Prince?"

"What exactly is going on?"

soon.

Tuoba Ze then mounted Yi Shangyun on his horse, placed it in front of him, and rode with her back to her tent.

He completely ignored her shouting and yelling in his ear the whole way.

"Tuoba Ze, are you crazy?"

What exactly do you want?

"From now on, I won't allow you to treat me like that."

"If you want to continue working with me, then stop doing this kind of thing."

...

No matter how harsh the words you say.

Tuoba Ze seemed not to care at all. As soon as he arrived at the tent, he jumped off his horse first, and then reached out to take her.

He asked her with concern, "When you were saving that child, were you knocked down by the crowd?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun realized that Tuoba Ze's observations were incredibly insightful, which was why he had insisted on doing all this despite Tuoba Ze's objections.

He was momentarily stunned, and hesitated before finally saying, "I..."

Tuoba Ze asked again, "Why don't you just tell that woman the truth directly?"

As Yi Shangyun was being lifted off the horse, he said, "I just didn't want to see her sad."

Tuoba Ze said, "If we don't tell her the truth, will she really stop being sad? But there's only one truth, and she has to accept it, whether she's sad or not."

Upon hearing the mention of Tuoba Hong, and perhaps because the previous discomfort had not yet truly subsided, Yi Shangyun suddenly felt dizzy.

Tuoba Ze realized something was wrong with her and quickly reached out his large, strong hands to lift her up in his arms.

Looking at the reckless woman in his arms, he said fiercely, "You stupid woman, if anything happens to you, you'll see what I do..."

Before he could finish speaking, he faintly heard a weak apology in his ear: "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

That sound was soft and weak.

It seemed to melt Tuoba Ze's heart instantly, so he pretended to continue angrily and said, "Since you are this prince, this prince will not allow you to suffer even the slightest harm for anyone other than this prince."

It was determined that Yi Shangyun had only experienced a slight miscarriage and there was nothing seriously wrong.

Tuoba Ze watched her fall asleep before getting up and leaving.

When the clouds on the clothes fell into a deep sleep, and when they woke up again, it was another beautiful sunset.

Seeing that Yi Shangyun finally opened her eyes slowly, Zhu'er said happily by the bedside, "Miss is finally awake. You must be hungry. Get up and see what I have prepared for you to eat."

She only had a few dishes every day, and they were all milk-related foods, so she really couldn't muster any appetite for them.

The reason for this lies in our 21st-century memories.

It is said that it was because his uncle, who was very reluctant to study, always liked to play by herding sheep when he was a child.

As a result, she drank goat's milk until she was over eight years old, until one day, her uncle, for some unknown reason, got so angry that he smashed her beloved milk bottle, which finally forced her to stop breastfeeding.

From that time on, she would feel nauseous at the smell of milk.

On the other hand, she couldn't help but worry that this might affect the fetus in her womb.

Seeing the hopeful look on Pearl's face, she had no choice but to put on a smile, stand up, and reply, "Mmm..."

Seeing Zhu'er bring in a food tray again, she said, "Miss, you haven't eaten anything these past few days. You must be very hungry now. Come and see what this is?"

Unexpectedly, Yi Shangyun, who hadn't had much expectation to begin with, suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise at the food on the plate in front of her: "This is... steamed buns?"

Zhu'er nodded vigorously and said, "Every time I bring in food, I do the same thing over and over again. When the Crown Prince found out, he was very concerned. He said that it wasn't that you weren't hungry, but that you didn't like the smell of milk and didn't want to trouble others. So he ordered someone to be specially responsible for preparing your favorite food for you three meals a day."

Hearing this, Yi Shangyun was truly moved. She picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "No need for that. This steamed bun is already very good. I can eat this every day, no... even at every meal, and I will never get tired of it."

Seeing that Yi Shangyun had finally started eating, Zhu'er smiled with great joy.
