"Dr. Gu, please take a look at my husband quickly. Why is he having such a strong reaction to my pregnancy?"

Mantuo's belly had slowly begun to swell and take shape. The young lady was dressed in black, and Lu Wangji had picked up a strand of hair and tucked it behind her ear, making her look exceptionally alluring.

only……

These past few days, the sick beauty has been vomiting badly. She feels like throwing up whenever she sees meat. She can only drink some mung bean soup every day, and her face looks thinner. Mantuo feels bad about it. The main thing is that Lu Wangji married into her family. How can her own parents be happy if she takes such good care of their son?

"Does Miss Mantuo experience any symptoms of morning sickness?" Doctor Gu asked after taking her pulse.

The young woman shook her head and said...

“Since I became pregnant with this child, I haven’t felt any discomfort at all. On the contrary, Wangji has been feeling anxious since the day he found out. Now it’s almost four months, and he’s been vomiting every day for the past few days. He can’t eat anything, and his face turns pale when he smells meat. He’s vomited until his stomach is empty. Can you prescribe some medicine to relieve his symptoms?”

The old man frowned; these are all symptoms of morning sickness.

"Judging from the pulse, your husband seems to be fine. His symptoms resemble morning sickness. Why don't you get him some medicinal herbs to drink?"

Mando frowned.

“I’ve been drinking mung bean soup made with this medicinal herb every day for the past few days. It’s a good thing, how can I waste it like this?”

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Wangji's face was completely pale, Mantuo wouldn't have dared to ask Mother Cen for some medicinal herbs. There weren't many, only half a pot, but this wasn't a long-term solution. They couldn't really live on dew every day, could they? Heavenly fairy?

"You're pregnant, don't worry about me. It'll be fine in a few days."

Seeing the slight furrow in Manto's brow beside him, Lu Wangji felt a pang of heartache. He took Manto's hand with his other hand and continued speaking.

"It's good that you didn't suffer these hardships."

Huo Xiaolong, hiding behind the tree, felt a pang of jealousy, while Hou Xiangxiang's face was flushed with happiness.

"I'm going to get a whole jar of elixir for Sister Mantuo tonight! It's so sour! Let me tell you, Little Sister, Brother Wangji is usually so aloof, except when he carries me to Sister Mantuo's side. Look at him now!"

"I want to find a husband like that in the future. He has bad legs, so I can apply them before we get married, and then I'll cure him after we get married. He'll suffer for me then!"

The little dumpling turned to look at her friend, and for some reason, Hou Xiangxiang was getting more and more crooked.

"Don't you feel sorry for him suffering?" Huo Xiaolong asked.

"I don't know, I don't have a husband," Hou Xiangxiang said indifferently.

"Does it hurt your heart when I'm in pain?" the little dumpling continued to ask.

"It hurts! Of course it hurts!" Miss Hou said solemnly to Huo Xiaolong.

"My husband is more important than me! He'll be closer to me than I am to you in the future! So you'll definitely cherish him too!"

The little girl was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said seriously to Huo Xiaolong.

"Won't!"

"Besides my mother, no one will ever surpass you in my heart. Huo Xiaolong will always be the person I love the most!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl froze for a moment, not even noticing that the small crossbow in her hand had fallen to the ground. She just stared blankly at Hou Xiangxiang, her heart burning with a small flame.

"Oh dear, Uncle Lu just fixed it for you yesterday, and you've fallen on the ground again. Let's see if any parts are missing so I can find them for you."

Miss Hou picked up the repeating crossbow for her friend, wiped off the dust, and placed it in her hand, saying...

"No, the buckles were just made yesterday, they're very secure!" Huo Xiaolong said, coming back to his senses.

Often, those unrelated feelings of longing or yearning can reside deep within the heart.

For example, He Yi felt that Huo Shuwen was the love of her life, and no one could surpass him in this lifetime, before she had two children.

Later, she had Huo Xiaocheng and Huo Xiaolong.

Before having these two children, she was willing to die for Huo Shuwen, to take a knife for him, and to give her life for him.

But after having two children, she was willing to kill for them. Anyone who blocks the path to safety for my family will be sent to hell.

He Yi thought this way, and she did this way.

The woman sat at the entrance of the red-light district, waiting for her husband, son, and daughter-in-law to return. She came out to air out the quilts at home; the sun was plentiful, and the yard was full of them.

The bear cub's things also need to be aired out. It's such a small thing, and it even has its own little blanket, which Chunying made for it.

"Madam, may I ask if anyone has found a boy in the red-light district recently?"

He Yi paused in her hand as she hung the quilt to dry, and then said...

"No, we know all the kids in Hualiu Lane. There are no new ones."

Lan Tingche grew up in the brothel, or at least he did, since there were many children there, including Da Ni'er and Xiao Qi'er who came from time to time.

It's not a big deal if one of them sneaks in; others won't notice. It's just that his little bald head is too conspicuous right now, so he can't roam around outside yet.

"Judging from your accent, you're not from the border town, are you?" He Yi asked casually.

"Ah, no, I came from the southwest."

People from the Southwest don't speak like that. He Yi, who grew up in the capital, was very familiar with it. She had heard this tone twice before, when the eunuchs came to her house to announce imperial edicts.

Their voices unconsciously rise at the end, and no matter how well they pretend, it doesn't change the fact that they have no roots.

"You're here looking for your child? Has your child been abducted?"

"That's right, it's my master's child. That's why they sent us out to look for him. I heard he ran off to the border town. He was seen in Pingyang County before. He's very handsome. If you find him, Madam, please remember to look for me at the inn there. I will treat him with great courtesy."
