Ye Caiping's family stayed in town for two more days before moving back to the village.

Firstly, it allows her to spend time with her parents, and secondly, it makes it convenient for Ye Caiping to occasionally visit the workshop.

Since moving to the village, Shen Manman has completely let loose, running wild all over the village, teasing cats and dogs, picking flowers on the mountain, and catching shrimp in the river, having a great time every day.

Shen Zhiyan converted the west wing of the main courtyard into a classroom where he taught Ye Xuan.

As for Jin'er and her two maids, they attended classes in their own courtyard.

Their husbands still live in town and come by horse-drawn carriage every day.

After Ye Caiping had been married for three months, Shen Zhiyan sent a letter to the capital.

The capital city, the residence of the Marquis of Dingguo—

The entire Dingguo Marquis family gathered in the main hall, eagerly watching Old Madam Shen, who sat at the head of the table.

Madam Shen opened the letter and began to read it. Then, her eyes widened, and she jumped up with a start: "Good, good!"

"Oh my god, you scared me to death, my goodness!" Marquis Dingguo was so frightened by her that he leaned back.

Madam Shen asked anxiously, "Mother, what's wrong? What happened?"

Madam Shen laughed and said, "Haha, Caiping is pregnant! Our Shen family is going to have another member."

Marquis Dingguo and Lady Shen exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful!"

Madam Shen said excitedly, "Granny Xia, find the best midwives in the capital and have them go to Nanzhou to be on standby."

Because of this, the entire Shen family was making preparations in a flurry of activity.

When Empress Dowager Shen learned of this, she immediately ordered the imperial physician, who was skilled in childbirth, to pack his belongings and travel to Nanzhou with several midwives.

In addition, they also sent a lot of things to Nanzhou.
