Unaware of Jiang Tangtang's inner turmoil, the others still cared about her.
Even Old Man Lu actually picked a handful of wild fruit from somewhere and carefully handed it to Jiang Tangtang, saying, "Eat more if you like it. It's okay. I'll go pick more after you finish eating."
After saying that, he even showed a smile with wrinkles all over his face.
“My dear in-law, you’re getting old, and it’s not safe in those mountains. Let me handle these kinds of things from now on.”
Jiang's father always doted on his daughter, and he was very resentful that he hadn't been able to find out the news immediately and rush to the woods to pick wild fruit for her. He found Lu's smiling face particularly irritating.
Jiang Tangtang: "..."
Dear father, can you please stop causing trouble?
Clearly, it wasn't just his own father who was causing trouble. Even Old Man Lu, a usually taciturn old man, was also causing trouble today. He actually got into a fight with Jiang's father.
At this moment, Wang, who had already agreed with her daughter-in-law on how many small clothes to sew, turned around, took Jiang Tangtang's arm and said, "Don't pay attention to these two old men. Come, little girl, let me help you back to your room to rest."
"Mother, I—"
Before Jiang Tangtang could finish speaking, Wang interrupted her, "You can't be careless. You were running around in the mountains just a couple of days ago. I don't know if you hurt the baby. You have to be careful. Xiaoyan is so big now. If it were any other girl, she would have had a second child by now. It's just that you haven't had any news for the past few years. Fortunately, your son-in-law Lu is a good person and hasn't made things difficult for you because of this."
As she spoke, she had already helped Jiang Tangtang into the room.
Madam Wang tidied the bed, helped Jiang Tangtang sit down, and sighed, "Now that you and your son-in-law Lu have a child, I feel relieved. Your son-in-law Lu is handsome and now serves as an official. I wonder how many vixens are eyeing him. This gives you more security."
Jiang Tangtang: "???"
What kind of guarantee? Does having a child guarantee protection? What kind of mindset is this? She was completely speechless.
Seeing Wang looking at him with concern, he realized she was making plans for her in her own way.
She couldn't tell whether she was angry or heartbroken.
In the end, he simply gave up and stopped saying anything.
Let them misunderstand!

It wasn't dark when Lu Shiyan returned. Amidst everyone's congratulations, he went back to his room.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang sitting on the wooden bed, looking listless, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Tangtang was speechless as she recounted how she felt nauseous and vomited after eating the insects Cai had given her, and how people mistakenly thought she was pregnant. Before she could explain, she was bombarded with compliments.
Although Lu Shiyan knew there was a misunderstanding, he never expected that the whole story would turn out like this.
Looking at Jiang Tangtang's expression, he found it inexplicably funny, and finally couldn't help but chuckle out loud.
Jiang Tangtang glared at him, annoyed. "You're still laughing? You still have the mood to laugh? How can you even laugh? What are we going to do now?"
Seeing her pouty expression, Lu Shiyan laughed even harder. He felt all the gloom of the past few days vanish.
He leaned closer to her and said in a cheeky tone, "How about we give it our all to give everyone an explanation?"
Jiang Tangtang glanced at him sideways, "Have you been hanging out with those thugs a lot lately?"
Lu Shiyan was taken aback by her seemingly unrelated remark and didn't immediately understand.
After a long pause, he said, "What do you mean by 'soldier scoundrel'? What do you mean by 'mingling together'? I was training soldiers."
Jiang Tangtang looked away with a hint of disdain.
She said that he was becoming less and less ethereal and more and more like a rogue, and it turned out that he was hanging out with that group of people!
Don't think she doesn't know that there are all sorts of people in the military camp, and they usually speak rudely.
Lu Shiyan sat down next to her. "What kind of look is that?"
Jiang Tangtang was still upset about the blunder of eating insects that resulted in her getting pregnant. She couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
Looking at her, Lu Shiyan couldn't help but laugh and teased her, "I'm doing this to help you. Once you're really pregnant, you won't have to worry about how to explain it to people."
