After all, her human bond is still in the hands of the lady.

On the surface, it's okay to rely on Wen Zhu and help Wen Zhu with some unimportant things in order to gain some benefits, but now this matter is too big and must be carefully considered.

Wen Zhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If she had no other choice, she would not have chosen to tell Hongyu about this plan.

"Think about it carefully. If I get pregnant and leave here, what will the lady and the eldest girl do to you?"

This question left Hongyu stunned.

She had never thought about this question carefully before.

After thinking for a moment, Hongyu said, "At most, I will just go back and continue to serve Madam as before."

Wen Zhu shook his head and corrected him, "That's not the case. Since you've been sent to my side, there's no turning back. If I leave, you'll have no choice but to follow me."

Seeing Hongyu's expression change, Wen Zhu continued, "We are now on the same boat. If I leave the mansion and Madam finds a random marriage and takes the token away, then both of our good days will be over, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Hongyu's expression became solemn.

Wen Zhu's tone of voice also softened. "You know I came from the countryside and this is the first time I've seen the prosperity of the capital. I just want to enjoy it for a few more days."

"Can……"

"Don't worry, it's not that I don't want to give birth to a child for her," Wen Zhu said in a steady tone, "I just hope that our current life can last a little longer."

As Wen Zhu spoke, he took out a fifty-liang silver note from his pocket and waved it gently in front of Hongyu.

Seeing Hongyu's eyes following the banknote, Wen Zhu smiled and simply stuffed the banknote into her hand: "Now I am still useful, and you can also benefit from it. This is a win-win situation for both of us, isn't it?"

Even though it wasn't her own money so she didn't feel bad about spending it, she couldn't let Hongyu get too greedy, lest she lose control in the future.

Hongyu was stunned for a moment before taking the banknote in her hand.

After a long silence, Hongyu still looked uneasy: "You really just don't want to have children for the time being?"

She particularly emphasized the word "for a while".

Wen Zhu nodded almost without thinking, "You are so loyal to Madam, and Madam is also the mother I have never met. As her daughter, I should listen to her."

Hongyu finally felt relieved and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go find Granny Liu right away."

A smile flashed in Wen Zhu's eyes, "Thank you for your help."

---

After Hongyu went out, she went to find Granny Liu.

Granny Liu was a very strange person. Although she could move freely and eat and drink normally, she seemed to have very little life in her body.

She often sat there with a blank expression on her face, and if no one came to chat with her, she could sit still by the corner door all day.

Yesterday, Hongyu went to her for a drink, and today she did the same to get close to Granny Liu.

At first, Granny Liu was quite wary, but when she heard that it was only Hongyu, her attitude improved instantly and she nodded and agreed to help.

Hongyu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so she hurried back to report to Wenzhu.

After hearing this, Wen Zhu only said: "Then go quickly."

Hongyu quickly responded: "I will leave right away."

At this moment, her private money was already quite generous, enough to cover her family's medical expenses for a few years, and she even had enough money left to go out and buy some things she liked.

Looking at Hongyu's uncontrollable excitement when she turned and left, Wen Zhu sighed softly.

As for freedom, who doesn’t yearn for it?

But I am about to achieve it.

By lunchtime, Hongyu had not returned yet.

I thought I might not have any food this time, but unexpectedly, Granny Liu took the initiative to bring me food.

Granny Liu still had a dull look on her face. She put the food in front of her and turned to leave.

This is obviously not something Hongyu would do. It was obviously Granny Liu who took the initiative to bring it to her during lunch time.

Looking at the food from Grandma Liu on the table, Wen Zhu felt a little surprised.

In their previous life, they had hardly any contact. All they knew was that the old lady was very stubborn and would do whatever Madam Wen said.

I remember that when I was pregnant and wanted to escape, I was stopped by Grandma Liu several times.

Although Granny Liu's movements were rough, she knew how to control her strength. Sometimes when she saw she was about to fall, she would even rush over to use her as a cushion, for fear that something might happen to the baby in her belly. It was really weird.

Wen Zhu thought about his past experiences and had no taste for anything he ate at the dinner table.

Hongyu didn't come back until the afternoon.

Not only did she buy contraceptive pills, she also picked up a lot of cosmetics and hair oils that young girls like, and even had a nice meal outside. It can be said that she gained a lot.

Hongyu did not report immediately. She carefully hid her things before going to find Wen Zhu.

"Girl, I bought everything. I even asked the doctor about it. He said this medicine is absolutely harmless to the body, but...

The price is a bit high. I brought back ten prescriptions and it cost me ten taels in total.”

While speaking, Hongyu secretly glanced at Wen Zhu's expression.

Wen Zhu smiled, his tone very gentle: "Why is this medicine so expensive?"

She often fell ill in the countryside, and usually a prescription of medicine only cost a dozen copper coins. Even in the capital, what medicine could be sold for one or two taels of silver per prescription?

Seeing Hongyu's increasingly unnatural expression, she stuttered even more: "It's just... it's just that this kind of precious medicinal material that is completely harmless to the body is really hard to find..."

Facing Wen Zhu's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Hongyu's voice gradually became low.

Just as she was about to kneel down and admit her mistake, Wen Zhu handed her the banknote directly: "The remaining silver will be your reward for running errands. Also, if the eldest lady asks you to make a prescription in the future, remember to distinguish which portion should be used."

Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and looking at the banknotes in her hand, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Wen Zhu had already known her little thoughts, but still chose to trust her.

"Yes, thank you, girl!"

Hongyu took the banknote with great gratitude.

Wen Zhushen glanced at her and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. If you need money, you can tell me directly. I won't treat you unfairly, but don't let me find out about this again next time."

Hongyu blushed and nodded: "Okay, I won't make the same mistake again."

Seeing Wen Zhu's mood calm down, Hongyu hurriedly asked, "Miss, have you had lunch?"

"Grandma Liu brought me food."

Wen Zhu said, "You should also go have a drink with Granny Liu and build a good relationship with her. It would be best if you could find out if she's hiding anything else."

Hongyu quickly agreed.

"You've worked hard, go back first."

"yes."

Looking at Hongyu retreating respectfully, a smile flashed in Wen Zhu's eyes.
