Hearing this, Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled: "Indeed. Perhaps the baby is still working hard to grow."

However, he did not retract his outstretched hand, as if he was enjoying the happiness brought by the warmth and anticipation.

Then, he leaned over and whispered softly in Wen Zhu's ear: "You are so amazing. We have a baby so soon."

Although the sound was soft, it was enough to make one's heart beat faster.

Wen Zhu could feel the other person's breath not far away, and the warm and sweet breath made her face even redder.

Wen Zhu smiled and responded, "That's because the prince has outstanding abilities."

Before she finished speaking, she realized that the compliment seemed a bit too direct, and the color on her cheeks became darker.

At the same time, Fu Yu was still looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of longing for future life and infinite love for his lover.

Faced with such a warm gaze, the shy Wen Zhu simply buried her face in Fu Yu's arms, hoping to cover up her embarrassment in this way.

They snuggled up to each other intimately, creating an extremely sweet atmosphere in this small space.

Not long after, when the room was gradually filled with the unique warmth between the two of them, some noises suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the Duke's wife and Zhao Manxiang walked in side by side.

Wen Zhu was about to sit up and greet the distinguished guest, but was stopped by the Duke's wife in time: "Just lie down and don't move. You need to rest well now."

At the same time, Fu Yu quickly supported his wife's shoulders and gave her a reassuring look, as if telling her not to worry too much and just stay here quietly.

Faced with the consolation from both sides, no matter how much he didn't want to be rude, Wen Zhu could only follow their wishes, half lying on the bed, and hastily saluted the visitor to express his respect.

"How do you feel now?"

The Duke's wife came over and sat beside the bed, her tone full of concern.

Her eyes were fixed on Wen Zhu's face, afraid to miss even the slightest change in his expression.

Feeling the deep concern from the elders, Wen Zhu felt warm in his heart and replied in a low voice: "Much better, thank you for your concern, madam."

Although the tone is light, it contains sincere emotions and beautiful hopes for future life.

"I heard that Miss Shuyan was seriously ill and the medicine was ineffective. I was really worried. So I hurried to see you. Fortunately, your previous efforts in copying Buddhist scriptures were not in vain. God bless you."

The Duke's wife spoke with concern, her words full of pity and worry.

Because Sheng Shuyan inhaled a lot of cold water, her condition was naturally more serious and her illness was more worrying.

Seeing her daughter like this, the lady felt mixed emotions and was in great pain.

"What on earth happened?"

Fu Yu asked with a frown, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety and nervousness, and he was obviously very worried about his sister's condition.

The Duke's wife then briefly recounted what had happened.

After listening to his wife's story, Fu Yu's face became more gloomy and his worries deepened.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, as if he had made up his mind.

He looked at Wen Zhu and said firmly, "This matter will not be let go like this. I already have a plan."

A sharp light flashed in Fu Yu's eyes, and he seemed particularly decisive.

"Since the Second Miss has fallen ill because of this, she has received the punishment she deserves. I hope you can rest assured, Your Highness."

Wen Zhu tried to ease the atmosphere and persuade Fu Yu, hoping to calm his anger.

"Don't say anything more."

Fu Yu exuded an unconcealable chill from his entire body, and his tone was cold and resolute, as if he could no longer tolerate hearing these meaningless words.

Seeing this, the Marquise quickly changed the subject and said, "Wen Zhu, you're pregnant now. It's not appropriate for you to continue living in Qingshan Courtyard. We need to find you an independent courtyard. Chunhua Courtyard is a good choice. What do you think?"

The Marquise's proposal seemed considerate, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere.

Although Chunhuayuan is smaller than Qifangyuan, it is still an ideal place to live with a quiet environment and complete facilities.

"Just do everything according to Madam's wishes."

Wen Zhu responded obediently, and was full of anticipation for the new home.

"I'll send someone to clean up Chunhua Courtyard right away."

Zhao Manxiang tried her best to control her dissatisfaction, suppressed her inner turmoil, and forced out an unnatural smile and said.

Although her tone sounded quite calm, in fact, every word seemed to come out of her mouth with all her strength.

"Young Madam isn't feeling well. She needs to rest more..."

Wen Zhu was actually a little reluctant to let Zhao Manxiang be responsible for the layout of the new courtyard. After all, Zhao Manxiang's health was not good and she needed a lot of rest time.

"It's okay. I've been lying in bed all the time and I'm almost like a sick cat." She waved her hand casually, her voice carrying a hint of reluctance but determination. "It's time to move around."

Besides, there are naturally people who will do the truly tiring work,” she paused deliberately, trying to reassure herself, “I’m just offering some advice.”

As she spoke, Zhao Manxiang's gaze inadvertently turned to Wen Zhu. One could clearly see the dark circles under her eyes, and her bloodshot eyes looked particularly tired.

Despite this, those seemingly subtle actions just now have fully demonstrated Tian Xueni's friendly and sincere side towards herself.

When the water in the pot boiled, the two went to the front room together to prepare for the next step.

Just then, Luo Geng saw Tian Xueni coming over, and his eyes immediately flashed with greed. Then, while she was pouring water into the cup, he stretched out his hand and tried to harass her.

"As long as you are willing to sleep with me tonight, I promise to give you benefits and will not treat you unfairly."

In panic, Tian Xueni instinctively dodged left and right.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, he accidentally poured all the boiled water onto Luo Geng.

The scene happened so quickly that no one had time to react, and the boiling liquid instantly seeped into the thick cotton pants.

Suddenly, a sharp pain spread throughout his body, making Luo even more miserable. He kept jumping on the spot, looking as ridiculous as someone with his buttocks burned by fire.

Witnessing this, the Tian couple hurried forward to help relieve the pain Luo Geng was suffering.

However, he was unexpectedly pushed away roughly by the irrational Luo Geng, and even kicked to the ground.

Then, without caring about the eyes of others, he took off his clothes that had become extremely heavy after being soaked in hot water.

Only the underwear that was close to the skin was exposed, and even so, obvious burn marks were still visible on the legs.
