"Pear Girl".
It's Mu Ning again.
After she found a corpse to fake her death, she left Qingzhou and moved to Mujia Village in Yongzhou, which was a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
On her first day there, she met Mu Ning, a naive young man who blushed and got a nosebleed the moment he saw her.
Since then, he has come to see her frequently.
He even confessed his feelings to her and said he wanted to marry her.
At that time, her belly was just beginning to show, and she stroked her belly and said to him, "I'm pregnant."
Mu Ning was stunned for a long time before stammering, "Where is the child, father, father?"
Nanzhi sighed: "Dead."
Mu Ning immediately showed a sympathetic expression: "It's okay, you can give birth to it, and I'll help you raise it."
Alas, it's all because she was born so beautiful and charming.
It was already midday, and Mu Ning arrived again with her maternity meal.
Mu Ning placed the food box on the table, arranged it carefully, and invited her to come and eat.
He's a nice young man, but unfortunately, he's not good-looking enough.
There is also a worried mother.
She was full, stretched, and then wanted to go outside.
Mu Ning tried to help her up, but she avoided him.
She let out a burp, lifted her eyelids to look at Mu Ning, who blushed and quickly lowered her head.
Nanzhi said, "Your mother came again yesterday."
Mu Ning immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Li, did my mother bother you again?"
"It's not really a bother." Nan Zhi walked outside, rubbing her belly, her tone calm. "Your mother said you're not young anymore and told me to let you go and stop bothering you."
Mu Ning became anxious: "Miss Li, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. You're not pestering me, I'm the one pestering you."
Nan Zhi laughed: "I told her, and she said I was a vixen."
Mu Ning felt even more ashamed. "You're not a vixen. You're the kindest and most beautiful fairy in the world."
Namzhi was very pleased with the praise.
She never intended to remain chaste for Shen Huaixu, but she disliked her unreasonable and argumentative mother-in-law.
It's impossible for her to be with Mu Ning.
“Your mother asked a matchmaker to find you a girl. Go and take a look.”
And now that she's about to give birth, she needs to start planning for her child's future.
Nanzhi went to the city to buy some fabric and had the shopkeeper make clothes for her child. She was going to pick them up today.
She also needs to find a midwife and a wet nurse to help her when the time comes.
She wandered around the city a few times. At first, her beauty attracted a lot of attention, but when people saw her belly, the men who wanted to chat her up all backed away.
Nobody wants to raise other people's children.
Their gazes were so sticky and uncomfortable that Nanzhi simply bought a mask and put it on.
She gathered the children's clothes and was about to walk towards the parked carriage when she turned around, not seeing the road clearly, and bumped into someone.
"Feel sorry."
Her clothes fell to the ground, and just as she was about to pick them up, she saw the other person pick them up for her.
Nanzhi took it and was about to thank him when their eyes met and she froze.
It turned out to be the story of Shen Huai.
He had changed a lot. He was dressed in a black robe and was even thinner than when he was in the Southern Mansion. His features were sharper, his phoenix eyes were long and gloomy, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Shouldn't he have gotten everything?
Why has he become even scarier?
Even though Nanzhi was wearing a mask, she felt completely seen through when they made eye contact.
She couldn't hide the guilt in her eyes. She turned to leave with her clothes in her arms, but the other person called her back.
"Madam, please wait."
Nan Zhi was afraid of giving herself away, so she didn't dare to run. She just turned slightly to the side and took the opportunity to exchange for a voice-changing prop in the system shop.
"Is there anything else, young master?"
The voice she uttered was not as melodious and pleasant as her original voice; it was rather rough and unpleasant.
Shen Huaixu frowned, wanting to go further and try to remove her mask, when he saw Nanzhi rubbing her stomach, "I'm sorry, young master, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, you scared me."
Shen Huaixu was stunned when he saw her swollen belly.
Isn't it her?
The last glimmer of hope in his heart faded away.
"Feel sorry."
Nanzhi nodded, preparing to leave quickly.
Shen Huaixu glanced at her retreating figure and said, "Madam, please wait a moment. I'm sorry for disturbing you. May I escort you home?"
Nan Zhi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. If she didn't agree, Shen Huaixu would probably become suspicious again.
So she nodded and thanked him, "Then thank you very much, young master."
Nan Zhi boarded the carriage with Shen Huaixu.
"Where does the lady live?"
"Thank you for your help, young master, to Mu Family Village." After saying this, Nan Zhi clutched her stomach and closed her eyes wearily.
Even with her eyes closed, she could feel Shen Huaixu staring at her.
As expected of a chosen one, he is so vigilant.
The carriage headed towards Mu Family Village. As they alighted, Shen Huaixu asked again, "Why does Madam always wear a mask?"
"Shh." Nanzhi made a shushing gesture to him. "Young master, please keep your voice down. I'm wearing a mask to scare my husband."
Husband?
That's true, her belly is so big, how could she not have a husband?
Shen Huaixu saw her get off the carriage and walk to the door of a room, where a man was standing.
She patted the man on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he was startled. Afterwards, the two talked for a while and then went into the house laughing.
Shen Huaixu stared at the tightly closed door for a long time before slowly lowering the carriage curtain.
Those eyes look like hers.
The back view is similar, only slightly chubby.
If she were pregnant, would she be like that?
Judging from that person's belly, she must be eight or nine months pregnant. Eight or nine months ago, she was still in the Southern Mansion, and she wasn't pregnant then.
So it wasn't her.
Shen Huaixu touched his brow. The pain in his phoenix eyes, which he rarely showed to others, now enveloped him like a net, making it hard for him to breathe.
The coachman outside asked, "Lord City Lord, may we proceed now?"
"Let's go."
Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that Shen Huaixu had left.
She looked at Mu Ning, who was pouring her water, and asked, "How did your blind date go? Did you find someone you liked?"
"I came here to talk to Miss Nan about this," Mu Ning sighed. "Miss Li, I'm planning to marry Miss Jiang."
"It's fine."
“My mother is forcing me; if I don’t marry Miss Jiang, she’ll hang myself.” Mu Ning looked at Nan Zhi with some guilt. “I’m sorry, Miss Li.”
"What have you done to wrong me?" Nanzhi smiled and took out a fan to give to him. "You've taken good care of me all this time. This folding fan isn't expensive; consider it a wedding gift for you."
She originally wanted to take the silver notes, but being alone abroad, she dared not reveal too much of her wealth.
She bought the fan at the market; it was the perfect gift between friends, and she had long planned to give it to him as a wedding present.
Mu Ning accepted it with a heavy heart.
A month later, it would be the day he married Miss Jiang.
After finishing his business, Shen Huaixu was planning to return to Qingzhou.
