"Where is this hot water bottle from? Is she still at home?" Ren Yaoqi knew. Since she was going to use this hot water bottle, not only would her mother find out about it, but Ren Yaohua would also definitely know about it.

"She's a native of Yanzhou, from Yuhua Town, next to Baihe Town. She's quite well-known in Yanbei, otherwise Madam wouldn't have chosen her from among the many midwives. Early this morning, she went to Madam Zhou to get some money and left, saying she had business to attend to in Yuhua Town in the next few days and needed to go back early to prepare."

Ren Yaoqi nodded. After thinking it over, there was nothing more to ask. While this hot water bottle didn't appear to have any issues, Ren Yaohua's suspicions about her didn't diminish. However, this matter wasn't likely directed at the Lei family or Ren Yaohua, so Ren Yaoqi decided to investigate privately so Ren Yaohua wouldn't have to worry.

When she came to the main room again, Li Shi and Qi Yuegui were chatting about something. They were both laughing. However, Ren Yijun, who was sitting next to her, looked a little awkward. Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming, Ren Yijun hurriedly stood up and said, "You've come at the right time. I have something to tell you. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Ren Yaoqi thought helplessly, I've been in and out several times, and you just saw me. You still have the nerve to say that you've been waiting for me for a long time?

Ren Yijun had already stood up and walked over, so Ren Yaoqi had no choice but to take her to the side room to talk.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yijun and said jokingly, "What did they just say to you?"

Ren Yijun was rarely shy, but his tone was rather fierce: "What does your child know? Don't ask!"

Ren Yaoqi nodded obediently, with a smile on his face: "Well, then I won't ask."

Ren Yijun snorted softly after hearing this, and after a while he said awkwardly, "What else? It's just about the child. Third Aunt asked us... ahem..."

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Look at my sister's Nannan and Pan'er, they are both very interesting."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yijun was silent for a while and sighed.

Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised. She had never seen Ren Yijun sigh with such an expression before. Her third brother had always been arrogant and awkward, but now he looked a little worried and sad.

He whispered, "It's not that I don't want a child, but you know I've been taking a lot of medicine over the years. I read in a book before that taking medicine all year round would be bad for the child, especially since the medicine I use contains some herbs that are harmful to ordinary people. Although I secretly stopped taking the medicine a while ago, now is not the right time to have a child..."

Generally speaking, brothers shouldn't discuss these matters with their unmarried sisters. However, Ren Yijun was too embarrassed to tell Qi about this because he was a man. He wasn't close to his brothers, and he couldn't even mention it to his elders. So, he could only tell Ren Yaoqi, or he'd feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi wasn't awkward, and her mental age was there. If it were any other girl, she would have blushed and walked away long ago.

Ren Yaoqi asked, "Is it okay if you stopped taking the medicine? Have you asked the doctor?"

"It's okay. They're just some useless warming tonics. It's better not to take them. Look, I'm feeling much better now. I think what your third sister-in-law said makes some sense. My illness is probably caused by taking too many medicines."
