While changing his clothes, Hongli remembered something and casually said, "By the way, I went to the Hanlin Academy today and met your elder brother. He told me that Yu Chan is pregnant."

"Oh? Really?" Upon hearing this, Su Yushan was pleasantly surprised. "How many months?"

"It seems like it's been more than four months!"

Silently counting the days, Su Yushan couldn't help but think that four months ago was when Yu Chan and Zheng Lin had a falling out.

But we don't know when she got pregnant. If it happened after Yu Chan went home, that would be fine. But if it happened before, will it affect the child?

In fact, after Yu Chan returned to her husband's family, she did not reconcile with Zheng Lin. The two remained separate, one in the tent and the other in bed, and never became intimate again. The child was conceived during their consummation of the marriage.

Yu Chan was also worried about the impact on the child, but Madam Zheng said it was fine. She explained that she had only burned incense in her son's room and had not drugged him. The aphrodisiac incense was only effective on adults and would not harm the fetus.

When the doctor came to take her pulse, he said that both mother and child were safe and the pregnancy was stable, which put Yu Chan at ease.

Since she became pregnant, Zheng Lin has been increasingly attentive to her. Yu Chan thought that he was only changing his attitude towards her because of the child, and that he would stop paying attention to her after the child was born.

Thinking of this, Yu Chan remained indifferent to him, no longer as infatuated as before, and no longer regarded him as her only one.

Yu Shan longed to visit her younger sister, but it was inconvenient for her to go to the Zheng family in person. She could only ask someone to send some gifts over, hoping that her sister's pregnancy would be safe and smooth.

The wind blows, leaves fall, and withered lotus remains. Summer has passed and autumn is deep. Another year has passed, and Su Yushan is twenty-one this year. It has been five years since she entered the manor.

In her opinion, 21 years old is still very young, but she is already a mother of two.

Every year, Hongli would send her some rare treasures, but this year's gift was a little special. When she opened the box, she found a key inside.

Yu Shan couldn't help but wonder, what did this key represent?
