The only person in the manor who could entertain Xie Jingyan was Old Master Yun, but Old Master Yun was, after all, an elder. As soon as Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan arrived, the steward sent someone to find Yun Qi.

"It's good that you're back. Young people can chat together," said Madam Yun with a smile.

The maid hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Yunrui said, "Cousin is no outsider, just say what you want to say."

The maid said, "When the young master just returned, there were faint shoe prints visible on the chest of his brocade robe..."

Madam Yun frowned.

There were shoe prints on his chest...

Did they get into a fight?

Qi'er never easily engages in combat with others.

Madam Yun said, "Go and find the servant who accompanied the eldest young master out of the manor to inquire what exactly happened."

The maidservant quickly withdrew.

Just as the tea was finished, the maid returned, panting as she ran back and forth. "Today, the young master went to Deyue Tower to discuss business with someone and ran into the heir of the Duke of Maoguo. The heir deliberately picked a fight and forced the young master to fight him. Fortunately, the young master of the Ministry of Justice intervened and prevented a full-blown brawl."

"And a few shops in the north of the city, they had just opened for business this morning when people started causing trouble..."

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo was by nature vindictive. Yesterday, Xie Jingyan made the Duke of Maoguo take the blame, and since the heir didn't dare to do anything to Xie Jingyan, he took his anger out on his older cousin.

This is just the beginning. Being targeted by these people means there will likely be more incidents like this in the future. Shen Wan has a terrible headache.

These upsetting things were really affecting her mood. Old Madam Yun didn't want Shen Wan to come to the Yun family and then have to worry about them, so she changed the subject and asked about Shen Wan's condition these past few days, and also inquired about the fact that a certain gentleman was experiencing morning sickness...

Shen Wan, her ears turning red, said, "I don't feel anything."

It feels like I'm having a false pregnancy.

But Dr. Tao said she was pregnant, and she couldn't deny it.

Madam Yun chuckled and said, "Isn't it good that you don't feel anything? Or do you want to feel like you're dying of vomiting?"

As they were talking, a maid came in from outside, carrying a brocade box. She stepped forward and said, "Madam, the longevity lock has been made and delivered."

Madam Yun reached out her hand, and the maid opened the brocade box and presented it to Madam Yun for inspection.

Madam Yun picked up the longevity lock; it was a beautiful gold lock.

Madam Yun's niece-in-law is about to give birth, so she specially made this longevity lock as a gift for her grand-nephew.

Madam Yun liked it more and more as she looked at it. As Shen Wan looked at the longevity lock, something flashed through her mind so quickly that she couldn't catch it.
