"Miss, the second lady and the eldest aunt stayed in Baomo Hall for two hours before coming out. I wonder what they were discussing?" Zhuye said while pushing Gu Yunran's back.

"And Aunt Fan also went there in the middle and stayed in there for a long time. After Aunt Fan came out, I left."

"I think they are plotting something."

Gu Yunran put down the book in his hand and said indifferently: "Three women are a drama. What good can they do? They are just thinking about how to deal with me."

Suddenly, she thought of something: "It's broken."

Zhuye asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Fan Meiniang knows about my..." She was too embarrassed to say out loud about the affair between her and Mu Qianchen, but Gu Yunran felt that Fan Meiniang was going to make a fuss about it.

She lowered her eyes and ordered, "Taohua, go follow Fan Mei Niang and see what she wants to do."

Her eyelids kept twitching, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"yes."

Taohua turned and went out.

She was very skilled, and her skills were comparable to Qianli who was beside Mu Qianchen. Gu Yunran was relieved, and she picked up "The Art of War" and studied it carefully.

After a while, she felt sleepy. She leaned one hand on the armrest of the chair, fell asleep with her eyes drooping, and soon Zhuye heard her even breathing.

Zhuye carefully took the book from Gu Yunran's hand, then went into the house and took out a thin blanket to cover Gu Yunran.

She turned around and was faced with a wall.

"Mu, Lord Mu." Zhuye was startled. She almost bumped into Mu Qianchen. Fortunately, Mu Qianchen retreated quickly.

"Why is she so sleepy?" Mu Qianchen looked at the little face. After what happened with Old Man Lu, she had lost a lot of weight.

His eyes were filled with heartache.

"The lady... said she might be pregnant." Zhuye said in a low voice.

Mu Qianchen's eyes were complicated. He handed the pastel-colored food box with a picture of a hundred children to Zhuye, "These are her favorite foods. Go to the kitchen and heat them up."

"yes."

Zhuye carried the food box to the small kitchen in the yard.

Mu Qianchen picked up Gu Yunran and carried her sideways, walking into the house.

"It's cold outside."

She was sleeping soundly when her body suddenly shook. Gu Yunran frowned, as if she felt uncomfortable in this position. She buried her head in Mu Qianchen's chest, found a suitable sleeping position and continued to sleep.

When he arrived at the bedside, Mu Qianchen looked at his daughter sleeping soundly in his arms. She didn't know what kind of good dream she had, but she smacked her lips and drooled.

Mu Qianchen just watched quietly, as if remembering when she was a child, she fell asleep on the table and drooled like this.

Unable to bear disturbing her, Mu Qianchen leaned against the head of the bed, hugged her, reached out and took a thin blanket from the bed and covered Gu Yunran with it.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yunran suddenly woke up with a pleasant fragrance. When she opened her eyes, she met Mu Qianchen's dark eyes.

Startled, she hurriedly jumped out of Mu Qianchen's arms.

"Where is this? Why am I sleeping in your arms?"

Mu Qianchen didn't say anything. He stood up and said calmly, "Are you hungry?"

He walked to the basin rack, wet a wet towel, wrung it out, and handed it to Gu Yunran, "Wipe your saliva."

Gu Yunran subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth. Her hands were wet. She was really drooling. It was so embarrassing. She reached out to take the towel and wiped her mouth casually.

At this time, Zhuye came in with some delicious food.

"Miss, you're awake now, just in time for me to warm up."

"It smells so good." Gu Yunran couldn't wait any longer, so she sat at the table and started eating. There was roasted chicken with bamboo shoots, chicken soup with wild mushrooms, charcoal-grilled abalone, cold and spicy vegetables, and... peanut crisps.

These are all her favorite foods.

Gu Yunran wolfed down her food as if she had been hungry for three days. Zhuye picked up some food for her and said, "Miss, please eat slowly."

Mu Qianchen frowned: "Is the Lu family so poor now that they can't even afford to eat?"

"That's right." Gu Yunran stuffed the chicken into his mouth. "I've been eating radishes and vegetables for half a month."

It’s not that she doesn’t have money to buy it, but she doesn’t want to cook for herself and give people a chance to criticize her.

Zhuye smiled and said, "These were brought by Master Mu."

Gu Yunran was eating abalone, and she felt warm in her heart when she heard these words, but how did Mu Qianchen know that she liked to eat these?

Suddenly she thought of something and put down her chopsticks.

"I'm full."

Only then did she remember that Gu Qingyue also liked these foods the most, so he only brought the things that Gu Qingyue liked to eat, and it just so happened that she liked them too.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunran felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Gu Yunran had eaten so much, Zhuye thought that the young lady was really full, so she took all the leftovers. She walked out and closed the door.

She also ordered the maid guarding the second gate not to come into the inner courtyard, and she guarded the second gate herself.

Mu Qianchen stood up and poured a cup of tea for Gu Yunran, placing it in front of her: "You just ate so much greasy food, drink some tea to help digest it."

Gu Yunran stood up and poured himself a cup. "I don't dare to trouble Master Mu, I'll pour it myself."

She poured a glass of water, stood at a distance from Mu Qianchen, and started drinking, as if she didn't want to say another word to him.

Suddenly, Mu Qianchen put his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "Zhuye said you are pregnant."

Gu Yunran's body stiffened, and she shook her head: "No, I hurt my stomach recently, so I want to vomit."

Mu Qianchen turned Gu Yunran's body around so that she faced him, resting his forehead against hers and placing one hand on her pulse.

After a moment of silence, he said, "It is true that I am pregnant."

Gu Yunran opened her mouth, not knowing whether she was happy or frightened. She was a little at a loss for a moment, staring blankly at Mu Qianchen.

"This child cannot stay."

She is now the mistress of the Lu family. She was with Mu Qianchen just to get revenge on Lu Qingzhou, but the female virtues and precepts she learned in elementary school told her that doing so was wrong and disgraceful.

Mu Qianchen looked at Gu Yunran for a long time, as if he had made a great decision. He said, "Wait for me. I have a way to let you leave the Lu family safely."

He wanted to give her a new identity.

As he spoke, he hugged her. Gu Yunran seemed to have all her worries faded away in his arms, and she felt inexplicably at ease.

However, her gaze rose and fell on the red mark on his neck. More than half a month had passed, and the mark of the kiss was still there. He and Gu Qingyue were so deeply in love at that time.

In an instant, her good mood disappeared. Gu Yunran pushed him away fiercely and said, "You should go find the person who left the mark on your neck."

She took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry about my business. Let's not meet again."
