Mu Bai.

Looking at the two powerful characters above, Bai Nuo felt a warm current surge through her heart. This man had truly been moving her all along. Perhaps she loved him even more now? What should she do?

Bai Nuo turned and went into the room, took out the clothes and snacks prepared for Hu Mingmei, and handed them to Lu Ying. "Although it is almost the height of summer, the Second Master is not in good health. He is in the yamen all day and does not have any clean clothes or a caring person. You should go there yourself and give these things to Donglai. Tell Donglai to pay attention to everything and take good care of the Second Master."

Lu Ying nodded and took the things from Bai Nuo's hands. "I'll make a trip right away."

Lu Ying turned and went out. Bai Nuo, still holding the land deed, looked at it carefully one last time before turning to go into the room. However, before she even entered, Shaoyao called out to her, "Young Madam!"

Seeing that she seemed hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to, Bai Nuo had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong? What do you want to say? Say it!"

"Young Madam, what I wanted to say was... what I wanted to say was that Miss Ziyao has arrived and is waiting outside!" Peony said.

"What's the big deal?" Bai Nuo said nonchalantly. "She's here, just let her in!" She and Huang Ziyao did have a grudge, but that was right after she married into the family, wasn't it? And she retaliated on the spot, and Huang Ziyao didn't get away with it. But later, because of Zheng Pei and Huang Haichuan's matter, the two of them reconciled.

"No..." Peony said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss Ziyao said she won't come in if you don't agree!"

Bai Nuo looked at Shaoyao strangely, "What's wrong? Why don't you go out and tell her to come in?"

"Hey!" Peony stamped her foot. "Young Madam, you should go out and take a look!"

Seeing that Shaoyao's words were unclear and she seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty, Bai Nuo had no choice but to say, "I'll go out and take a look!"

What are these two doing?

Seeing that Bai Nuo was about to go out, Shao Yao hurriedly went to prepare a sedan chair for her, but Bai Nuo stopped her with her hand, "Never mind, no need for the sedan chair, I'll walk instead, it's good for my health!"

Since she started feeling fetal movement, Bai Nuo had Dr. Sun take her pulse. Dr. Sun said that she was in very good health and that walking around more every day would help with childbirth, and that she shouldn't stay in bed all the time.

So Bai Nuo decided to do what he could within his means.

When the two reached the main gate, Huang Ziyao came to greet them. Bai Nuo noticed her unhappy expression and was quite puzzled. "What's wrong? Why aren't you coming in?"

Huang Ziyao bit her lip, seemingly too embarrassed to speak, so Bai Nuo asked again, "What's wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, I have a favor to ask you!" Huang Ziyao finally made up her mind.

Bai Nuo looked up and saw many passersby staring at them. Although she didn't dare to look too closely, the scrutinizing gazes made her very uncomfortable. "Let's go inside and talk!"

As Bai Nuo turned to leave, Huang Ziyao grabbed her arm. "Sister-in-law, I'll only go in if you promise me!"

Bai Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, looking Huang Ziyao up and down. Huang Ziyao really did have a bad temper, but she was also very innocent. All her thoughts were written on her face. Worry, fear, expectation and other emotions were written all over her face. Bai Nuo immediately knew why Huang Ziyao had come.

However, Bai Nuo didn't blame Huang Ziyao too much. "Did your uncle send you?"

Huang Ziyao shook her head subconsciously, but quickly realized what Bai Nuo was talking about, "Sister-in-law, how did you know?"

Bai Nuo smiled, "Your thoughts are written all over your face, how could I not know? Let's go inside and talk, otherwise do you want everyone on the street to be watching us?"

Peony spoke up at the right moment, "Miss, let's go inside first. The young mistress is pregnant and shouldn't stand for too long."

Huang Ziyao immediately felt guilty and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I forgot!" In her haste, she forgot that Bai Nuo was already pregnant.

Bai Nuo shook her head. "Let's go inside. The kitchen is preparing lunch. I'll have them prepare whatever you like to eat. Let's have lunch here before we go back!"

Huang Ziyao asked with a pained expression, "Is my second brother coming back?"

Bai Nuo asked her with a smile, "What? You don't want to have dinner with me because your second brother isn't back?"

"No, no!" Huang Ziyao quickly waved her hands, afraid that Bai Nuo would misunderstand. "Sister-in-law, I'm willing..."

Huang Ziyao wanted to say something more, but Bai Nuo stopped her and pushed her inside, saying, "If you're willing, then go in!"

Bai Nuo pulled Huang Ziyao into the courtyard, went straight to the hall and sat down before asking, "Would you like to meet your father, grandmother, and grandfather?"

Huang Ziyao shook her head. She hadn't come to see her father and grandparents today. Besides, after what happened to her mother and the news that her father's concubine was pregnant, Huang Ziyao had lost all interest in Huang Haichuan and the others. She was quite happy living at her uncle's house.

"So what do you want to tell me?"

"Sister-in-law, I..." Huang Ziyao still looked very troubled, and Bai Nuo didn't urge her, waiting for her to speak, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you to talk to my second brother and ask him to let my uncle off the hook!"

Seeing Bai Nuo's unusual expression, Huang Ziyao quickly explained, "I know that Second Brother doesn't really want to talk to Uncle and the others anymore, but no matter what, I still want to ask Second Brother to let Uncle and the others go. I promise that I will ask Mother to talk to Uncle properly and that he will not lay a hand on Second Brother again."
