"I'm pregnant now?"

[The system has detected that you are indeed pregnant]

After the initial surprise, a look of surprise appeared on Su Zhiruan's face.

Now that she is pregnant, she can be said to have finally gotten what she wanted.

She walked around twice more before returning to the courtyard.

Fu Huaichu still prepared the meal and waited for her to come back. After seeing Su Zhiruan, he asked, "Ruan Ruan, where have you been for so long?"

"I went out and chatted with the aunties." Su Zhiruan helped put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, followed Fu Huaichu closely, and added, "After chatting, I sat on the ridge of the field for a while. The vegetables in the field are growing better and better."

"You've been tired these days, Ruan Ruan," Fu Huaichu put down the steamed buns plate, hugged Su Zhiruan with his backhand, pinched her soft cheek, and finally kissed her lips calmly, "Go to bed early tonight."

"Okay." Su Zhiruan smiled gently. After she responded, she sat on the stool and prepared to eat.

Sitting together to eat is also one of the warmest moments in the day for the two of them.

Occasionally they would chat about family matters or gossip about their neighbors, and both of them enjoyed the chat very much.

But today, Fu Huaichu looked at her hesitantly, and when she looked over at him, he took the initiative to look away.

"Ruan Ruan, are you satisfied with your current life?"

"Satisfied." Su Zhiruan took a bite of the egg and nodded seriously, "The mountain air is beautiful at dusk, and the birds fly back and forth. This kind of free and easy life can be considered as seclusion. How comfortable it is."

"You always call me Brother Erniu," Fu Huaichu held the chopsticks, but his mind was not on this at all. He looked at Su Zhiruan quietly, "If I am not Su Erniu, Ruanruan, if you marry into an aristocratic family, would you be willing?"

He spoke in a hurry, and his words even sounded incoherent and illogical.

But Su Zhiruan knew all this.

She understood every word and sentence he said.

But she was determined.

"Brother Erniu, what are you talking about? You are my Brother Erniu," Su Zhiruan smiled and tapped Fu Huaichu's palm, but found that his palm was already sweating a lot at this time. She continued, "If I marry into a wealthy family, I don't want to."

"Why?" This answer was within Fu Huaichu's expectations, but when he actually heard her say this, for some reason, he still felt a pang of pain in his heart.

It’s as if the person you love most is about to leave you.

"I am just an orphan without a father or a mother. I just want to be with the one I love forever. Rather than marrying a rich man as a concubine, living under someone else's roof, and suffering all kinds of setbacks, it is better to live a free life with the one I love now."

Fu Huaichu lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

Su Zhiruan touched her belly calmly. Perhaps her mentality had changed. When she found out she was pregnant, she was surprised.

Perhaps this is also a kind of expectation for life, looking forward to the flowers blooming, looking forward to the children being born and growing up.

With her current status, if she followed Fu Huaichu back, she could only be a concubine. There were the emperor and the empress above her, so she needed to learn the rules, read people's expressions, and please Fu Huaichu.

Instead of doing this, it is better to conceal the existence of this child. It will not be too late to come back after she has grown up and has her own status.

That night, Fu Huaichu felt sorry for her because she had been tormented every night these days, so he let her go.

Su Zhiruan had a good sleep.

* On this day.

Sujia Village ushered in huge news!

Even those who usually like gossip looked shocked by this news. Everyone looked dazed.

A huge ceremonial guard riding on tall horses and driving an empty carriage entered Sujia Village.

The village chief of Sujia Village didn't know what happened until he asked, and was shocked when he saw it.

In this team, even the prefect and the governor did not get on the carriage, let alone the county magistrate who followed behind them.

These officials, who usually seemed bigger than the sky to the village chief of Sujia Village, were all walking today, and even the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely respectful.

"What happened today?"

"I don't know. Are these the people who came from the county a few days ago? Why are they in Sujia Village now? Is there someone they are looking for in Sujia Village?"

"That must be the county magistrate. He seems to have the lowest status among this group of people. He can only follow at the edge. You can imagine who he is going to pick up in the carriage!"

…

The villagers of Sujia Village were talking about this. Originally, they wanted to quietly follow the honor guard to see who they were looking for, but they found that the honor guard did not drive them away, so they continued to follow behind, waiting to see where this group of people would go.

When they reached the end of Sujia Village, the uncles, aunts and uncles in Sujia Village looked up and were surprised to find that this was Su Zhiruan's house.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Zhiruan and her husband had just gotten married. It was said that both of them were orphans. Now even the imperial court had come to visit, and all the villagers of Sujia Village had come out to join in the fun.

There were constant whispers and curious eyes wandering around.

"Could it be that our Ruan Ruan is actually the eldest daughter of a wealthy family? Or that Su Erniu is the son of a wealthy family?"

"It's such a pity for this couple. They just got together and now they might be separated."

"Why would they be separated? If one of them becomes wealthy, the other will follow, and wealth will also rise with the tide."

"You think being a noble is easy," the grumpy old man knocked on the person who asked the question and continued in a low voice, "When I was young, I worked as a servant in the Song family. You should know that the Song family is a wealthy family with a constant flow of visitors. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that a rich young man married a gentle young lady. It's not something that an ordinary woman can marry into."

…

While the villagers of Sujia Village were whispering, the gate of Su Zhiruan's small courtyard was opened.

The man standing at the door with his hands behind his back was Fu Huaichu. He was tall and handsome, with an imposing manner.

The moment he appeared, all the members of the honor guard knelt in unison, including the prefect, the governor, and the county magistrate.

A group of people said loudly, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When this voice sounded, everyone in the Sujia Village was completely shocked. No one had expected that Su Erniu was actually the legendary Crown Prince.

It turned out to be the prince who was rumored to be decisive, murderous, and cold-blooded! This was really shocking!

All the villagers in Sujia Village were stunned.

In the end, it was the village chief who reacted faster. He knelt down hastily and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The villagers finally reacted and everyone knelt down in greeting.

At this moment, Su Zhiruan came back.

When she saw the scene in front of her, she rubbed her eyes.

Hmm? (End of this chapter)
