Hearing her almost willful words, Zhong Qingyi was both amused and exasperated. She could only agree to everything and go along with her, so as not to upset her.

No matter how reluctant she was, parting was inevitable. Just a moment ago, Song Zhuiyan was calmly watching Zhong Qingyi's back recede into the distance. But when she could no longer even see his back clearly, she suddenly felt her eyes sting. She blinked, and two lines of tears fell down her cheeks.

Those who know her well know that she rarely cries, and can grit her teeth and endure even the most serious injuries. No one expected that she would also have an emotional side. When did she become so sentimental?

It must be that the little one in her belly is being restless, making her so upset that she wants to cry. While crying, she feels hungry, dizzy, and sleepy.

“Let’s walk a few more miles, I remember there’s an inn there.” Song Tantan supported her, her eyes also reddening.

Ye Moxun kept a straight face and didn't say a word. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak. He thought he was mentally prepared and wouldn't be too sad when they parted, but watching his uncle's figure gradually disappear into the distance still gave him an indescribable feeling. His emotions were complicated and hard to define.

They didn't bring any guards, but several dogs did follow them. However, they had been kept in Song Zhuiyan's space. Now that there were no outsiders around, Song Zhuiyan released the seven dogs.

As soon as Taishan came out, it disappeared like a gust of wind. It seems that staying in the space was too stifling for it. Although Song Zhuiyan's space was not dangerous, it restricted freedom. Once inside, one could only stay in one place and could do nothing but spin around.

The three watched silently as afterimages swept past them. The sadness they had felt earlier was largely dispelled by the dog. Ye Moxun slowly drove the carriage.

My aunt is pregnant, so we have to slow down on the way back. The carriage can't go too fast, and we have to rest from time to time. Strangely enough, she's usually as strong as an ox, but she's had a lot of morning sickness since becoming pregnant.

I was either feeling weak all over, or dizzy and nauseous, feeling unwell in all sorts of ways. I looked like a sickly beauty, always feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, and then I would clutch my chest.

Song Tantan scooped out all the appetizing snacks in the supermarket for her to try. "This is preserved plum, and sour candy. This orange is also sour. Try them all. Eat whatever makes you feel good."

Meals consisted of pickled fish, pickled radishes, and cold dishes. Song Zhuiyan would eat a little of everything, but not much. She would eat a little and then not want to eat anymore. In less than an hour, she would be hungry again and want to eat again. This cycle was quite tiring.

"Auntie, what kind of baby are you carrying? It's going to cause a lot of trouble. I'll teach it a lesson after it's born and show it what real suffering is." Song Tantan said threateningly, but her hand on her aunt's belly was unusually gentle.

"Go away, how can you talk like that? This is your younger brother/sister. What does a child know? Don't use the excuse of helping me get revenge to bully my child." Song Zhuiyan immediately began to defend her child.

Song Tantan was heartbroken and pretended to clutch her chest, "Waaaaah, I knew it would be like this. You really don't love me anymore. You have your own baby now, so you don't care about me anymore. I'm so miserable, waaaaah. Nobody cares about me or loves me. I'm worse off than a cabbage in the field."

"It's good that you know. You're already twelve, and another year is about to pass. You'll be thirteen soon. Why don't you hurry up and start looking for someone suitable? If you find someone suitable, settle down and get married. Then you'll have your own little family and won't be thinking about all this all the time."

"Auntie, are you annoyed by me and want to get rid of me so I can get married?" At this moment, Song Tantan stopped pretending to cry and was genuinely a little angry.

"Ouch, I feel a bit tight in my chest and can't breathe properly. Let me lie down for a while." Song Zhuiyan closed her eyes and slumped onto the cushion, falling asleep to the swaying rhythm of the carriage.

Lately, she's been particularly sleepy, always eating and then sleeping, and waking up wanting to eat again. She's living a more leisurely life than a piglet.

Seeing that she was really asleep, Song Tantan had a lot to say but no one to talk to. She could only pout and tuck the blanket around her aunt. After that, she could only sit obediently to the side and protect her, so that if the carriage bumped around when the road was rough, it wouldn't startle the baby in her aunt's belly.

Actually, Song Zhuiyan was pretending to be asleep this time. She wasn't really asleep; she just felt weak all over and lay there without moving. She said that earlier to test Tantan and see if she had figured it out yet.

After trying it out, I realized that this girl is still clueless. In her previous life, she lived to be twenty-three and never had a relationship. Seven years have passed since she transmigrated, and she is still as dense as a blockhead, with no intention of getting married. As her aunt, I have to worry about her.

She felt that Ah Xun was actually quite nice. She knew him well and always gave in to Tan Tan. It seemed that Ah Xun had feelings for Tan Tan, but perhaps because they were both from the modern world, they felt that they were still young and hadn't considered this aspect.

If you don't want to get married so early, you can get engaged first. A good man should be engaged first to avoid any complications. But it doesn't matter what she thinks, they have to figure it out themselves.

Well, let's see how fate works out. If we're not meant to be husband and wife, we can still get divorced even if we get married. What's the point of getting engaged? What if you meet a beautiful woman one day and she be bewitches you? Then you'll have to break off the engagement, which would be even more troublesome.

She wasn't just referring to Ye Moxun being seduced; it could also be Song Tantan. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. You can't say that men are necessarily susceptible to being bewitched, just as it doesn't mean that women are immune to changing their minds. Human hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee who will be the one to betray them in the future.

Song Zhuiyan lay there with her eyes closed, her thoughts incredibly complex. In the end, she convinced herself that engagements and betrothals from infancy were unacceptable, as they would ruin the children's lives, making it incredibly difficult for them to be with the people they loved, bound by marriage and unable to control their own lives.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. The two children are so good-looking, smart and capable, and rich and powerful. Why should I worry about not being able to settle down? If all else fails, I can just buy one of them. Sigh, I shouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.

Song Tantan watched as her aunt, though her eyes were closed, kept rolling around, clearly not asleep. Her expression kept changing, sometimes looking conflicted, sometimes relieved, and sometimes as if she had made a decision. It was quite a sight!

"What are you thinking about, Auntie? Tell me. You're pregnant now, so you can't think too much." Song Tantan whispered in her ear.

"It's nothing, I just miss your uncle. I don't know if he'll be able to come back when the baby is born. I also don't know how long this war will last. I hope it will end soon so your uncle can come back and reunite with us." Song Zhuiyan opened her eyes, her face full of melancholy.

Speaking of Zhong Qingyi, Song Tantan was afraid that her aunt would become more and more upset. She had heard that pregnant women are prone to emotional fluctuations, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She quickly tried to coax her gently to avoid upsetting her aunt and causing her to have a miscarriage.

As darkness fell, there were no other houses for hundreds of miles around, but there was an inn along the way. They hadn't stayed at this inn when they went to the capital, but they remembered its location, and today they had just made it there on their journey.

Just as Ye Moxun was about to get off the carriage, the system spoke up, "Host, the inn in front of you is a black shop that specializes in robbing people of their money and destroying evidence of their bodies."
