Xu Bailu touched her belly with one hand, held a handkerchief in the other, twisted her waist, and walked towards Xu Zhiyi.

Yes, she is a woman now, so naturally she should be more charming.

He smiled at Xu Zhiyi with an ambiguous expression:

"Sister, you're here too. The sun is shining brightly today. Didn't I hear that the Prince of Pingyang was coming to our house to propose marriage? Why haven't you come yet?"

"So it's Sister Bailu. If I remember you correctly, you haven't even reached the age of marriage yet. A young lady who hasn't reached the age of marriage yet keeps saying these things about whether or not to get married. I wonder how Concubine Liu raised you. If word gets out, no one will want to marry you."

Bai Lu's face was filled with shame and anger, and she snorted coldly:

"Then don't bother me, sister."

She already has someone who wants her, but she doesn't know why that person hasn't come yet.

She touched her belly. A few days ago, her mother brought her some contraceptive soup and asked her to drink it.

Her family pretended to be flattering, but as soon as her mother left, she collapsed.

This soup is fishy and smelly, who would want to drink it?

Moreover, if she was pregnant with Li Jingxuan's child, would he really let her be beaten to death?

He was born as the eldest son, and his status as a mother was secured because of his son.

Thinking of this, a gentle look appeared on his face.

Xu Zhiyi saw her touching her belly for no apparent reason and instantly knew what Xu Bailu was thinking.

Xu Zhiyi actually hoped that she was really pregnant, in that case.

It can also avenge the fear of the original owner who died in the fire while holding her child.

"Sister Bailu, if you're tired, go rest in the house. You're weak and it will be difficult for you to give birth in the future."

When Xu Bailu heard this, her face froze. Could it be that someone leaked the news and let her know that she and Brother Jingxuan were together?

She slowly returned to her room and drank two cups of tea before she calmed down, but then she realized she was overthinking it.

If Xu Zhiyi knew about this, she would have made a big fuss long ago, given how she had turned the house upside down in the past few days.

But this time Xu Bailu was really scared. She planned to wait until things were completely settled before laughing.

Why didn’t Li Jingxuan come to propose marriage?

He returned home that day in a daze, and his family was already asleep.

Only he was lying on the bed in pain, tears streaming down his face.

The next day, his mother came to choose clothes for him. She saw that his face was pale, his eyes were dark blue, his expression was dazed, and his eyes were red.

She screamed in fright, luckily Li Jingxuan was a man.

Otherwise I would have thought something happened outside.

She hurried forward and asked:

"What happened? Do you want to make me heartbroken?"

Li Jingxuan remained silent. He didn't want to say anything. He had just persuaded his parents to come and propose marriage in person yesterday, and today it was another person. If he said it out loud, he and Xu Zhiyi would have no chance at all.

Finally, under his mother's questioning, he burst into tears:

"I was drugged, I...Xu Bailu and I..."

Mother Li was stunned and asked hurriedly:

"Who is Xu Bailu?"

"Xu Zhiyi's concubine sister."

Mother Li has lived for half her life and has seen many things, big and small.

It was also the first time I saw a young lady from a noble family climb onto the bed to get to the top.

When she calmed down, she began to think about her son and Xu Zhiyi. If the news of him marrying a pair of sisters got out, it would not be a good reputation.

"You said yesterday that you had touched Xu Zhiyi. Is that true?"

Li Jingxuan wanted to lie, but he didn't dare to lie after seeing his mother's eyes:

"I touched her hand."

Mother Li was speechless for a while...but she finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she didn't have to marry all of them.

At this moment, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. To plot against her son was to plot against her. He was indeed raised by a woman.

Take it home and polish it slowly.

Suddenly I thought of an important thing:

"Did you give her contraceptive soup afterward? If not, it will be difficult for you to marry a wife of equal status in the future."

Li Jingxuan looked gloomy and nodded.

Only then did Li's mother feel relieved.

It's reasonable for him to feel bad now. If he doesn't watch out when he goes out, he will become a fool.

Li's mother ignored him and waited for Pingyang Hou to come back, and told him the whole story in detail.

Marquis Pingyang never thought that there would be such a shameless person.

I don't want to care anymore.

So, everyone chose to forget.

Three weeks of peaceful life passed like this.

When Xu Bailu discovered that her lunar eclipse was delayed by a week, she was very excited and immediately sent someone to call a doctor.

The doctor roughly judged that the woman was pregnant after observing, smelling, asking and feeling the baby.

At this time, Aunt Liu came in from outside, and when she heard the doctor's words, her face changed suddenly.

She sent the nanny beside her over, who handed the doctor a bag of change and told him to keep his mouth shut.

And sent him out again.

Aunt Liu dismissed the servants and said to her sternly:

"I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. I asked you to drink contraceptive soup, but you refused."

"After something like this happened, you still openly went to see a doctor. Do you know the doctor? Will he expose you as soon as he steps out? Is it a good reputation for a young lady from a noble family to secretly get pregnant?"

"How could I have given birth to a stupid pig like you?"

Xu Bailu was stunned for a moment. Her mother had never spoken to her like that.

She suddenly broke away from the joy she had just felt and couldn't help thinking about what her mother had said.

If this matter were to spread to the young ladies from wealthy families who were on good terms with her, how would she be able to go out?

She burst into tears all of a sudden, tears rolling down her face.

This time, Aunt Liu was too lazy to wipe her:

"The most urgent thing is to get Li Jingxuan to propose marriage as soon as possible. Now you're crying. Why did I give birth to a loser like you?"

After saying that, he left.

The doctor was walking down the alley with a bag of change in his hand when he was suddenly stopped by a man in black who fell from the sky.

The other party snatched the silver coins and played with them in his hand.

"You just went to treat that young lady. What's wrong with her?"

The doctor is a man of medical ethics, so he would not say anything.

The man in black casually picked up a piece of silver and threw it at a tree nearby. The silver was embedded in the tree.

The doctor's legs went weak all of a sudden, and he fell to the ground, saying in a trembling voice:

"That young lady is already over a month pregnant."

The man in black casually threw the bag of change to him.

The doctor collapsed on the ground for a while, and finally got up and went to pick the silver from the tree.

Xiao Qi has arrived before the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Xu Bailu is over a month pregnant."

Xiao Zhixing was very happy to hear this, and then he thought of Xu Zhiyi:

"How is she feeling recently? Does she often play with a jade pendant in her hand?"

Xiao Qi knew who the emperor was talking about and quickly replied:

"Miss Xu lives her life happily as usual. She has never taken the jade pendant, but she likes pearl hairpins and other things."

Xiaoqi naturally knew that the emperor liked Xu Zhiyi. If the emperor heard that his beloved was happy, he would definitely be happy too.

Unexpectedly, the next moment I heard a cold voice:
