Chapter 106 How could a grown man like Shen Chu possibly get pregnant?

Entering Pei Yuan's main duty room once again, I saw the steaming chopped chili fish head on the table.

The fresh aroma of the fish and the spiciness of the chopped chili peppers are irresistible, making it look incredibly appetizing.

Pei Yuan picked up a small bowl of noodles and poured it next to the fish head. He stirred it a couple of times with his chopsticks, then nodded with his chin. "What are you standing there for? Eat."

Whether it was the stench of blood in the dungeon or the influence of Chen Shi's mood, Chen Chu picked up her chopsticks but suddenly lost all appetite.

Not only did I not want to eat, but I also felt a sour feeling rising in my stomach, which was rising up to my throat.

She managed to suppress the sourness and quickly pushed the chopped chili fish head away.

"Suddenly I don't want to eat this dish anymore."

Pei Yuan frowned, his expression turning colder. "You were the one who said you wanted to eat chopped chili fish head, and you were also the one who said you wanted to learn to eat spicy food."

"I, the prince, specially ordered this to be delivered, and you didn't even take a bite. Shen Chu, are you toying with me?"

Shen Chu didn't know what was wrong with her. She was very hungry just now, so hungry that she almost drooled when she thought of the chopped pepper fish head.

Now I have no desire to eat it at all, and even the sight of chopped chili fish head makes me want to vomit.

Unable to explain to Pei Yuan, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness, I dare not tease you. Perhaps the smell of blood in the dungeon affected my appetite."

Pei Yuan's expression softened slightly when he recalled the night he cut off the Third Prince's head and how Shen Chu vomited blood after getting it on her.

"He vomited in the dungeon?"

"Uh, I held it in and didn't throw up, but now that I see the chopped chili fish head, I feel like throwing up again."

Pei Yuan scoffed, "You, a man, are now more delicate than a woman. I, the prince, have been trying to be kind, and you've taken it all for granted?"

Shen Chu was often criticized by him, but she still couldn't help but retort.

"I didn't ask Your Highness to buy it, and I really can't eat it right now. Does Your Highness intend to force me to eat?"

Pei Yuan's expression suddenly turned cold.

He's really crazy.

Just because Shen Chu mentioned wanting to eat chopped chili fish head, he impulsively sent someone to the street to buy a serving.

This is really not something he would do; it's like something a fool would do.

The more he thought about it, the colder his face became. Pei Yuan exuded a gloomy aura. "Jinbao, take the chopped chili fish head to the street to feed the dogs."

The initial qi stagnation.

Jinbao rolled his eyes and smiled as he tried to smooth things over.

“I often see pregnant concubines in the palace like this. They suddenly crave a certain food, but when it’s prepared and served, they can’t eat a single bite.”

Lord Shen's condition today is probably similar to that of a pregnant woman; he has a poor appetite and is affected by the smell of blood, which is why he can't eat.

Pei Yuan sneered, "How could a grown man like him get pregnant? If he could get pregnant, I, the prince, could have given birth to a child myself."

*Pfft*

Shen Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Pei Yuan glanced at her. "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Chu pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and shook her head, "I wasn't laughing at anything."

She was indeed pregnant, but Pei Yuan was giving birth?

She couldn't help but imagine Pei Yuan with his big belly, and almost burst out laughing again.

If Pei Yuan ever finds out that she is really pregnant, he will definitely regret what he said today.

Pei Yuan squinted and tapped the table with his jade-bone fan. "Chen Chu, you'd better not think about any nonsense, or I'll twist your head off."

Shen Chu waved her hand, and sincerely squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "I really wasn't thinking anything."

Pei Yuan snorted coldly and ordered Jin Bao, "Why aren't you taking it away yet?"

Perhaps it was because her mood had improved and the nausea had subsided, but Chen Chu felt her appetite return.

She reached out to stop Jinbao, "Uncle Jinbao, don't accept it, I suddenly want to eat it again."

Jinbao subconsciously looked at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan frowned deeply, "You're really being unreasonable."

Chen Chu ignored him, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of fish, and ate it with relish.

Jinbao's words made her realize that her unusual appetite today was probably due to her pregnancy.

It's like she used to be unable to eat any spicy food, but now she inexplicably wants to eat spicy food.

I never imagined that pregnancy would have such a significant impact on a woman's body.

Pei Yuan sat opposite her, watching her eat fish and noodles with relish. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, and the pent-up anger in his heart inexplicably dissipated.

Shen Chu quickly finished a plate of chopped chili fish head and a bowl of noodles, then looked up and asked, "Has Your Highness eaten?"

Pei Yuan glanced at the only remaining chopped chili pepper on the plate and snorted, "You eat more than a pig, how come you're still so delicate?"

"Once your injuries have healed, come to the Flying Eagle Guard. I, the prince, will personally train you and make you a true man."

Chen Chu...

That's outrageous.

She'll never become a real man in her entire life, okay?

Silently, she took out a purse from her bosom and handed it over, subtly changing the subject.

"I have been wearing this purse for ten days. I am giving it to Your Highness to help you sleep, as a token of my gratitude for today's lunch."

Pei Yuan took the purse and sniffed it. The delicate fragrance of wisteria, combined with the scent of calming medicine, instantly soothed him.

"What...what are you doing?" Shen Chu stared at him in disbelief.

The purse was meant for him to sleep with, but why is this guy... and he's holding it to his nose and smelling it with such a blissful expression?

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was inhaling the scent of his beloved.

The words "my beloved" popped into her mind, and a blush immediately rose on her face.

Pei Yuan put the purse into his pocket. "Of course I'm here to smell it, right? So you don't try to fool me, the prince. What are you blushing for?"

Chen Chu took a deep breath, cupped her hands, and drank two mouthfuls of water. "Uh, the vegetables are spicy."

Pei Yuan scoffed, "If you can't handle spicy food, don't force yourself."

"Everything has to have a beginning."

"Alright, we've eaten our fill, let's begin."

What should we begin?

Shen Chu looked blankly as Pei Yuan turned around, lay down on the large soft couch behind him, and then tossed a book over.

She caught it precisely; oh, it's time to read aloud again.

Why can this guy lie on a soft couch while I can only sit below and read to him?

She also really wants to sleep on a big, soft couch!

She silently prepared a list of reasons to fight back, but when she looked up again, she found that Pei Yuan had already fallen asleep.

I'm quite disappointed.

Her long-winded speech was completely useless; the other person fell asleep instantly.

Is your wallet really that effective?

Shen Chu put down the book, recalling Chen's words in the dungeon, and subconsciously touched her face.

The Shen family of the Marquis of Ning'an and the Shen family of the Marquis of Changning share the same lineage. The ancestors of the two families were brothers, one a scholar and the other a warrior, who together assisted Emperor Taizu in establishing the Great Wei Dynasty.

After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he rewarded those who had contributed to the cause, and both brothers were granted the title of marquis.

With two marquises from one family, the Shen clan was once the most powerful and influential clan in the Great Wei Dynasty.

After several generations, by the time it came to her father Shen Zhixing and the Marquis of Changning, they had long since crossed the fifth degree of kinship and had each formed their own clan. That is why the Shen family of the Marquis of Ning'an was not implicated when they were implicated.

She and Achu are related by blood, but she looks more like her mother.

My mother had been serving in Liangzhou with my father and rarely returned to the capital, so no one should have recognized her.

How did Chen guess that she wasn't Shen Chu? Was she just talking nonsense? Or did she see something on her face?
