Chapter 543 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 35
Jiang Zhiyi lowered her eyes, her mind racing with various thoughts.
The child came unexpectedly; she never imagined she would become pregnant.
If things follow the predetermined plot, she will commit a grave mistake and be imprisoned by Jun Yu in the dojo, spending the rest of her life in a desolate place...
By then, she could try to escape with the help of the Jiang family, but what would happen to the child?
If she were to take the child away... she felt she was not up to the responsibilities of a mother and was unwilling to bear all of this alone.
But if the child stays in the Jun family, Jun Yu will despise her and naturally won't treat the child she gave birth to well.
If he remarries and has other children in the future, the children's situation will definitely be very difficult.
Rather than putting yourself in a difficult situation later, it's better to resolve this problem now.
After thinking it through, Jiang Zhiyi no longer hesitated and secretly made up her mind.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jun Yu saw her standing there blankly and gently touched her cheek. "Why do you look so pale?"
Jiang Zhiyi snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No... be quiet. You've been talking so much today, it's giving me a headache."
She dared not look up into Jun Yu's eyes, afraid that he would notice the panic in her eyes.
Junyu thought she was deliberately being coquettish, so he smiled and ruffled her hair.
“You’re usually so talkative, and I’ve never said a word to you. Now you dare to complain that I’m noisy… Fine, you’re pregnant, so of course I’ll listen to you… I just can’t help it, I’m so happy. The thought of us having a child makes me want to plan more things so that you and the baby can be well…”
He paused, then started telling her amusing stories he'd heard before, trying to cheer her up.
"I've heard that in Haixian County, there's an old master who sells sugar paintings. His skills are unparalleled; he can create all sorts of patterns... Once upon a time, a celestial being descended to earth and happened to pass through Haixian County. After tasting the master's sugar paintings, he was delighted. From then on, everyone who has eaten his sugar paintings has their wishes fulfilled and enjoys happiness..."
When we get there, I'll take you to see that old craftsman and have him draw you a little rabbit. Don't you love rabbits the most? And if we calculate the astrological signs, our child's zodiac sign should be the horse, so I'll have him draw a little horse for the child too…”
As Jiang Zhiyi listened to his story to comfort her, she felt a mix of emotions.
After talking for a while, Junyu noticed that Jiang Zhiyi seemed unwell, so he stopped talking and focused on feeding her porridge.
After Jiang Zhiyi finished eating, she still didn't want to move and stayed in bed.
She had clearly slept all day, but she just couldn't muster any energy and even felt sleepy again.
Seeing her like this, Junyu pulled her into his arms and let her lean on his shoulder.
"If you feel tired, keep sleeping. The doctor also said you need to rest more."
Jiang Zhiyi leaned against Jun Yu's chest and gradually relaxed.
My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.
In her sleep, she instinctively snuggled into Junyu's arms, her hands still tightly gripping his clothes.
Jun Yu looked down at Jiang Zhiyi, who was fast asleep in his arms, and felt even more heartache when he thought that her poor condition was due to her pregnancy.
He knew that pregnancy was difficult for women and didn't want her to suffer any more.
Regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl, he only wants this one child.
...
A few days later.
The carriage wheels rolled over the bluestone road, and the slowly moving caravan finally arrived safely in Hai County.
Previously, Junyu had already sent people to Haixian County to make arrangements for them in advance.
The carriage stopped in front of an elegant seaside courtyard.
Jiang Zhiyi leaned against Jun Yu's chest, seemingly pretending to be asleep, but in reality she was keeping a close eye on the movements outside the car.
"Have we arrived yet?" she asked.
"Yes, we've arrived."
The moment the carriage curtain was lifted, a gust of wind rushed in and brushed against her cheek.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Junyu's hand was already over the collar of her outer robe, carefully adjusting it for her.
"The weather in Haixian County has changed recently, and it has suddenly become much colder. It's windy outside and carries a chill, so be careful not to catch a cold."
Junyu's voice was low, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.
Since learning of her pregnancy, he has become unusually gentle and extra careful in his words and actions.
It can be said that Jiang Zhiyi truly experienced what it means to be "too precious to hold in one's mouth for fear of melting, too precious to hold in one's hand for fear of breaking."
Before she could respond, Junyu had already bent down, his arms steadily slipping under her knees and back, and lifted her up in his arms.
"I'll carry you down."
Jiang Zhiyi instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
The steward waiting at the door, with his sharp eyes, immediately greeted them with a broad smile, carrying a hand warmer in his hand, as if afraid that his masters would catch a cold.
"Young master and madam, you must be tired from your journey! Everything has been prepared. I specifically followed your instructions and burned mugwort to ward off the cold in the house, and also prepared a charcoal brazier to keep you warm!"
Jun Yu nodded slightly, taking steady and slow steps, trying to be as light as possible with each step, for fear of bumping the person in his arms.
Jiang Zhiyi leaned on his shoulder, and when she caught a glimpse of his handsome face out of the corner of her eye, a complex emotion welled up inside her.
But the thought of the child she couldn't keep made her immediately force herself to look away and suppress her complicated feelings.
She had no other choice; this was the best option.
After entering the house.
Junyu placed Jiang Zhiyi on a chaise longue covered with thick, soft cushions.
The cushion was specially delivered in advance by him; it was very soft.
A maidservant brought in a copper basin filled with warm water that had been prepared beforehand.
Jun Yu didn't let them serve him. He turned around, walked to the table, wrung out a clean handkerchief, squatted down by the couch, and gently placed the handkerchief on Jiang Zhiyi's face.
"Wash your face first, and after we finish our meal, I'll take you to take a bath."
After a long and tiring journey, although they weren't covered in dust, they still needed to wash up.
Jiang Zhiyi nodded and responded.
"Did you feel uncomfortable from the bumpy ride?" Junyu noticed that she looked quite well.
He has recently been reading a lot of medical books. Although he is not an expert, he has learned a lot, all in order to take better care of her.
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head and leaned into his arms. Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she knew that he hadn't rested well these past few days.
"With you taking such good care of me, I naturally won't feel uncomfortable. But you, you haven't rested much along the way, now that we've arrived, you should take a break."
"It's alright, I'm not tired."
After finishing his meal, Junyu went to take a bath first.
After he left, Jiang Zhiyi sat up, walked to the window, pushed it open a crack, and looked out at the bustling street.
Hai County was indeed as prosperous as rumored, with a constant stream of pedestrians on the streets, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and laughing all around.
Not far away is the azure sea, and you can see several fishing boats slowly approaching the shore.
However, the lively scene did not arouse her interest at all.
She had only one thought in her mind—to find a way to secretly abort the child without harming herself.
