Jiang Yue stayed in the family compound for another night, and the next day she returned to the compound with Jiang Zheng and Duan Suyao.

After returning to the compound, Jiang Yue talked with Grandma Jiang for a while before going to the small courtyard where Old Man Chen lived.

"Master, I'm back."

Jiang Yue told Cheng Wei to wait in the car, and then she pushed open the door and went into the courtyard.

Old Chen sat on the steps of the main room, fiddling with something in his hands. When he saw Jiang Yue, he raised his eyelids slightly and said, "I've prepared a medicinal meal for you in the kitchen. Go and have a bowl first."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue obediently went to the kitchen first.

On the honeycomb briquette stove in the kitchen, a pot of medicinal cuisine was simmering slowly over a low flame.

It was the same medicinal meal that Lu Jingnian had prepared for her last time.

Jiang Yue finished her bowl of wine before leaving the kitchen to find Old Man Chen.

Old Chen had finished preparing his things. Seeing Jiang Yue come out, he led her to the living room in the main room.

"Since Lu Jingnian has already left, why don't you go to Pudu Temple in F City in a couple of days?"

After finishing his sentence, Old Man Chen handed something to Jiang Yue.

"You pray your way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain until you reach the abbot, Master Haoye. Give him this and he will arrange everything for you."

Jiang Yue respectfully accepted the things that Old Man Chen handed over.

"I can't go to F City with you this time. You're pregnant now, so you need to be extra careful when you go there by yourself."

It was a copper coin, the characters on it worn away, so Jiang Yue couldn't tell what dynasty it came from. But as soon as she held the coin in her hand, she felt its calming power.

"Thank you for your peace of mind. I will take good care of myself."

Jiang Yue sat at Old Man Chen's place all morning, and only took a car back to the Jiang family home after having lunch.

After returning home, she began making arrangements for her trip to F city in a couple of days.

Jiang Yue first arranged things at the garment factory and down jacket factory. After two days, once everything was settled, she told her family about her trip to F City.

"You're going to F city alone?"

Shen Min and Grandma Jiang were reluctant to agree, firstly because Lu Jingnian had just left and they were worried about Jiang Yue's feelings, and secondly because they were too worried about Jiang Yue, a girl, going to such a far place alone.

"Mom, Grandma, I'm not going alone. I'm going with my uncle this time, and Cheng Wei is coming with me too. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Jiang Yue knew her family was worried about her going to F City alone. Yesterday, she heard from the factory manager that Shen Huaiyuan was also going to F City in the next couple of days, so she could go with him.

Upon arriving in F City, Shen Huaiyuan went to attend to his own business, while Jiang Yue took Cheng Wei to Pudu Temple, managing to do both without causing any trouble for her family.

Hearing that Jiang Yue and Shen Huaiyuan were going together, Shen Min finally felt relieved.

That evening, Shen Min called Shen Huaiyuan to ask him about his trip to F City.

Before telling Shen Min and the others, Jiang Yue had already discussed the trip to F City with Shen Huaiyuan. Now that Shen Huaiyuan heard his sister calling to ask about it, he immediately said, "Big sister, don't worry."

"I will definitely take good care of Yueyue. Don't you trust me to do things?"

"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to follow her closely and make sure nothing happens to her."

With Shen Huaiyuan's assurance, Shen Min felt much more at ease.

Two days later, Jiang Chenhuaiyuan came to pick up Jiang Yue, and they took a car to F City together.

F City doesn't have an airport yet, so they can only get there by train. However, because F City is so far away, the train journey takes three days and three nights.

Because the journey was too long, Shen Huaiyuan specially booked a soft sleeper for Jiang Yue. He even bought tickets for two soft sleeper compartments, so that Jiang Yue could stay in one soft sleeper by herself, while he, Cheng Wei, and their assistant would stay in the soft sleeper compartment next door.

Once on the train, Jiang Yue took out her notebook and marked a day on the calendar page.

From the moment she learned she was pregnant, Jiang Yue would mark off a day on this page, counting down the days of her pregnancy.

Lu Jingnian has been gone for eight days, and she is already twenty days pregnant.

Once she returns from F city, she can go to the hospital for a check-up.

"Knock knock knock!"

The train had just departed when there was a knock on the door of Jiang Yue's compartment.

"Yueyue, it's me."

It was Shen Huaiyuan's voice.

Jiang Yue quickly put down her notebook and went to open the door for Shen Huaiyuan.

"Uncle."

Shen Huaiyuan came in and immediately noticed Jiang Yue's notebook on the bed. He sat down on the other side of the bed and asked Jiang Yue with a smile, "Yueyue, you haven't told your uncle yet what you went to F City for this time?"

Jiang Yue contacted him a few days ago, saying she wanted to come to F City with him because she had something to take care of.

However, she didn't specify what it was about. When Shen Huaiyuan asked her, she said she would tell him when they got on the train.

Shen Huaiyuan couldn't do anything about her, so he didn't ask any more questions.

They were already on the train, and Jiang Yue had no excuse to keep it from him anymore. It wasn't that Shen Huaiyuan necessarily wanted to know; he asked because he was worried about Jiang Yue's safety and wanted to know what she was doing so he could arrange for someone to protect her as soon as possible.

"Uncle, only my master and I know about this right now. I'm telling you now, but you have to keep it a secret for me for the time being."

Jiang Yue knew she couldn't hide this from Shen Huaiyuan. Even if she didn't tell him now, he would definitely find out when they arrived in Fuzhou.

"So mysterious?"

Shen Huaiyuan laughed, "Okay, your uncle will definitely keep it a secret for you. Go ahead and tell me."

Jiang Yue touched her belly and looked at Shen Huaiyuan seriously, saying, "Uncle, I'm pregnant."

"Bang!"

Jiang Yue's words were like a bomb, exploding instantly in Shen Huaiyuan's ears and almost making him stupid.

He stared blankly at Jiang Yue, his voice stammering.

"Yue... Yueyue, what... what did you say?"

Jiang Yue sighed. She knew it would turn out this way, which was why she hadn't dared to tell anyone about her pregnancy at first. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to go to F City.

"Uncle, you heard me right. I said I'm pregnant, but I'm still in the early stages of pregnancy, so it's not detectable yet."

However, it should be detectable after returning from F city.

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she touched her belly again, her eyes filled with an expectant smile.

Her and Lu Jingnian's child will definitely be very cute when it is born.

"You're pregnant? Are you really sure you're pregnant?"

Shen Huaiyuan finally came to his senses and immediately became excited.

Jiang Yue nodded, "It was my master who noticed. He said I was carrying twins."

"Or twins?"

Shen Huaiyuan did not doubt Old Man Chen's abilities, because he had someone investigate Old Man Chen, but precisely because of this, he became even more excited upon hearing Jiang Yue's explanation.

"Aren't you just being ridiculous?"

You're pregnant and you still took such a long train ride to F city. Do you know that F city is a plateau and many people experience altitude sickness there?

"You're pregnant now, what if something unexpected happens?"
