Chapter 97 Fu Sheng, I’ll protect you, understand?

The weather is getting colder day by day.

"Half a Cup of Floating Life" is becoming increasingly deserted.

Previously, there was a lot of excitement in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Many people in the capital had seen the scene of Nian Xi and Gu Ci being together, so they rushed to add fuel to the fire.

Now all the male members of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion have gone to the battlefield, and their future is uncertain. Those who have such power are unwilling to get involved in even the slightest bit of "floating life" again.

At that time, all the boxes that had been allowed to be taken out were also vacated by sending their servants back.

Nianxi has been ill for a few days.

It was cloudy and rainy all the time, and it was dark everywhere, which made people lose interest.

"Gu Xiaoliu" stood in front of the window sill, with a round face and a cheerful smile, which made Nianxi a little dazed.

It seemed that the resignation was a gift from fate to her.

Heal her, comfort her, warm her.

Then, retire after achieving success.

Died without illness.

Will the resignation come back?

How many years later?

Do you still have feelings for her after you come back?

No one can give an answer.

Including themselves.

She used to be most afraid of loneliness, and even if she was reborn, she only wanted to experience the feeling of being loved.

But now, after Gu resigned and left, I feel a kind of power in my heart, which seems to be glowing. I am not so afraid or resistant to loneliness anymore.

It seemed that she didn't have much time to feel sad. After she recovered from her illness, she went to the shop.

Nian Xi felt a little indebted to her cousin Mu.

Wang Muyi was more open-minded than her, "You think I'm such a short-sighted person. It's better if there is no business. I can take a break."

"My mother-in-law is always staring at my belly, so I'll take this opportunity to take care of myself."

Nian Xi remembered that in her previous life, cousin Mu got pregnant a year and a half after getting married. It was not even the new year yet, so it would take some time for her to get pregnant.

Fearing that she would be anxious, he comforted her, "Don't worry, it will be there next year, I promise."

Wang Muyi chuckled, "Are you a fortune teller? How can you guarantee such a thing? Actually, I'm not in a hurry. I'm just worried that my mother-in-law will stuff someone into the room again."

"It's best when you're a girl."

She sighed quietly, looked at Nianxi's thin waist, and said enviously, "I am forced to drink all kinds of tonic soups every day. My waist has become two times thicker. I have to drink it. Last year's clothes are too tight this year."

Nianxi couldn't prove that cousin Mu would be pregnant next year, so she could only say something happy, "Why don't I accompany you to the fabric shop to see if there are any fashionable fabrics?"

Wang Muyi was indeed happy.

In fact, "Fu Sheng Ban Guan" is now well run, and it makes no difference whether Nian Xi comes or not. Her coming is just an excuse to relax.

Otherwise, she would be bored at home all day, and her parents and brothers would worry about her.

The two men put on their cloaks and were about to go out when some rare guests who had not been seen for a long time came into the shop.

Jiang Yuan, who was leading the group, still had an arrogant look on her face, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with pearls and jade all over her head, looking down on the others:

"Yo~"

She squinted her eyes at the person and spoke in a sinister tone, "Isn't this Miss Wen? I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you look so thin?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said to herself, "In this world, there is a kind of person who is good at defeating others. If you get involved with her, even a magnificent mansion like the Duke's will soon be gone."

"I wonder why this shop is so deserted, isn't that the reason?"

She made two "tsk tsk" sounds, looked around, and then said to Wang Muyi in a sarcastic tone, "Sister Wang, why don't you stay away from the lucky star as soon as possible, or she will destroy your luck. Yes, you have been married for almost a year, and you are still not pregnant!"

"Unlike me, I just walked in and I already found out I'm pregnant~"

Wang Muyi was not the kind of person who was easy-going. Just as she was about to retort, Nian Xi was one step faster than her, "Then you really don't take the Anjing Marquis's son seriously."

Nian Xi lowered her eyes to look at Jiang Yuan's belly, "How dare you be so brave, you came all the way here to wait for me to defeat you even though you were pregnant?"

"Don't bother with that. Go to your prince's backyard and take a look. There are so many beautiful girls there. Maybe they will be more effective than me."

It’s not like we were born without a mouth, so when it comes to being mean, who is worse than who?

"you!"

Jiang Yuan had always seen Nianxi as kind and gentle, and she had never known she was so sharp-tongued. She could not help but get angry and said, "Your fox tail has already been exposed after your cousin left!"

"No matter what my prince is like, he still has a place to live! It's better than you, who are trying to draw water with a bamboo basket and get nothing."

She snorted and laughed, her face full of venom. "My cousin is gone, and it's unknown whether he will come back in this lifetime. Now I want to see who is willing to marry a slut like you who has been played with by others."

There is always a type of woman in this world who is naturally disgusted by their fellow women and holds men high in their hands.

Even people like Han Gaojie have their final resting place.

And Nian Xi, who has lost her "home", deserves to be ridiculed, trampled upon, and even insulted.

Nian Xi used to be willing to argue with Jiang Yuan, but now, she is too lazy to waste her emotions with her.

"If you don't leave, I'll have to ask you to leave."

Jiang Yuan had been waiting to vent her anger. If it weren't for Wen Nianxi, she wouldn't have had such a bad reputation and had to marry into the Princess's mansion. Now that her cousin couldn't protect himself, she wanted to see what Wen Nianxi could do to her!

"Afraid of me?"

Jiang Yuan smiled sweetly and sat down, stroking her belly.

"I can't leave. I'm so kind~"

"I always have to eat more and suffer more sitting here. No matter who comes, they must spread your name as a scavenger so that the sisters can stay away from you."

Since the autumn hunt, many of the young ladies who used to interact with Jiang Yuan have cut off contact with her. It was not until Xu Wanxin came to see her the day before yesterday that Jiang Yuan learned about the developments in the capital.

I heard that Wen Nianxi made friends with many noble ladies in Beijing because of this shop.

Why was Wen Nianxi able to have it all her own way when she was so destitute after being murdered? She had already lost face, so she might as well just let it go, which made her feel better.

She just didn't believe that Wen Nianxi dared to touch her when she was pregnant!

Now there is no Cousin Gu to support Wen Nianxi anymore~

Wang Muyi was furious.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen someone so shameless. He is blatantly acting like a rogue and is simply shameless.

But no matter how angry I am, I can't attack a pregnant woman!

Otherwise, if things get tangled up, even what makes sense will become irrational.

This time Jiang Yuan also brought along a few of her little sisters to show off her power. At this time, they were sitting together with her, looking up at the same faces of the villains who had achieved their goals. They were really like toads that don't bite, and they were evil people!

Wang Muyi became angry and rolled up his sleeves to go forward.

She can't touch Jiang Yuan. These lackeys don't all have babies in their arms!

Nian Xi stopped her one step ahead.

I was afraid that after Cousin Mu dealt with the people brought by Jiang Yuan, she would claim that she was frightened during her pregnancy and make a big deal out of it.

In these troubled times, Nian Xi doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Cousin Mu," Nian Xi smiled and shook her head, "Didn't you say you wanted to go look at fabrics? Since someone wants to run the store, why don't we help her?"

Wang Muyi quickly turned around and smiled at Jiang Yuan with a disgusted look in his eyes:

"Madam Crown Prince, you are fine during your pregnancy. You can stay in our shop as long as you like. Even if you want to stay until the birth and confinement period, we can arrange it for you~"

After saying this, Jiang Yuan's expression changed.

Watching the two of them walk out, she stood up without a second thought and said to Nianxi domineeringly:

"Did I let you go?"

Nian Xi backed off again and again, but Jiang Yuan was just pushing her too far and refused to give up.

Although she has a good temper, she is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.

As early as in the palace, Nianxi had already seen through it. Jiang Yuan was a person who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. At this moment, it all depended on who was ruthless and bold enough. Nianxi didn't believe that Jiang Yuan really didn't take the baby in her belly seriously.

So she deliberately took a step forward.

As expected, Jiang Yuan was shouting loudly, but her movements were faster than anyone else, and she quickly retreated.

Nianxi and Wang Muyi looked at each other, knowing what was going on. Just as they were about to leave, a clear childish voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Sister Wen, which aunt are you talking to? Is someone causing trouble?"

As he spoke, Young Master Lu Huai walked in.

He put his hands behind his back, held his head high and strode forward to the three people who were confronting each other and stood still.

In the stunned, angry, and unprepared eyes of Jiang Yuan, he said righteously:

"Fusheng, I'm protecting you, understand?"
