Chapter 119 Zhang Zifen is pregnant!
Liu Yanhui said solemnly, "He made a pretty big mistake!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Dongzhu's expression miraculously improved, and he even picked up the teapot to refill his cup of tea!
If you can say something, then say more!
Shen Lanxi glanced at Liu Yanhui with amusement, and said with great pleasure, "Mr. Liu's analysis is very insightful!"
Liu Yan smiled and took a sip of tea. "You flatter me. Zhou Ruyuan's mistake was not only big, but his loss was even greater!"
Wei Dongzhu said thoughtfully, "I used to think that Zhou Ruyuan was a brilliant strategist and a role model for us. Now I have some doubts about how he won those victories!"
He had such a capable person like Shen Lanxi, yet on their wedding night he did something so scandalous and despicable. It's clear how blind Zhou Ruyuan truly is.
His eyesight is so poor, his judgment as a human being can't be much better. Fighting a war isn't just about the commander being a skilled warrior!
Although Liu Yanhui had only been in the Ministry of Revenue for a short time and was not familiar with the people in the Ministry of War, he had read the files and had some understanding of the Southwest Army.
Before Zhou Ruyuan took over, the Southwest Army was already a strong and well-equipped force, known as the Ever-Victorious Army. Is it possible that the title of "God of War" was undeserved?
Thinking of this, Liu Yanhui's eyes widened as if she had discovered a shocking secret!
What Shen Lanxi didn't mention was that another piece of information came along with the battle report.
Of the four guards who were transporting provisions to Wei's army, two died, one went insane, and the other was left with a mangled body!
The real culprit behind the theft of grain and salary wants to kill her to silence her and cut off any possibility of the Shen family overturning the case!
With her around, forget it!
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of ships sailing at sea increased.
They happened to encounter a passing boat and learned from the boat owner that they would arrive at Xiguan in two days.
Xiguan was not affected by the disaster. Regardless of the chaos caused by bandits or the rampant bandits, at least they no longer had to worry about water!
Upon hearing this news, the people on the ship were overjoyed for an entire day.
As darkness fell, Chunxue entered the room with a dark expression.
"Young Master..." Her dejected tone suggested she had been wronged.
"If anyone dares to make you suffer, just tell me, and I'll go and deal with them!" Shen Lanxi was combing her hair. Her freshly washed hair was as smooth as silk, and she could comb it through easily!
Chunxue stammered, "It was Miss Yuanhe. She just came looking for me!"
Shen Lanxi's face turned cold: "Did she make things difficult for you?"
Chunxue: No, she just asked me to pass on a message to you!
"What did you say?"
Chunxue felt a tightness in her chest whenever she thought about it.
"She said that Aunt Zhang hasn't been feeling well these past two days, and it seems like she might be pregnant. She wants Doctor Zhang to take a look!"
Shen Lanxi remained silent with a somber expression; no one knew what she was thinking.
Chunxue and Qiushuang dared not make a sound. Just as they were about to leave, they heard her say, "Please ask Doctor Zhang to take a look at her. Tell Doctor Zhang to charge her the consultation fee as it should be!"
Chunxue's eyes lit up, and the discomfort in her chest subsided.
"Yes, I'll go tell them right away!"
Aunt Zhang is getting pregnant at this time just so everyone will dote on her, isn't she?
On what grounds?
They won't tolerate that!
"Qiushuang, go and see if Mother knows anything about this."
Autumn frost has also departed.

Ever since Shen Yuanhe passed the message to Chunxue, she had been peeking out through a crack in the door.
When she saw Zhang Niu carrying a medicine box, she immediately ran happily to the bedside.
"Auntie, Doctor Zhang has arrived."
Zhang Zifen's eyes lit up, and she quickly had her daughter help her lie down, pretending to be weak as she waited for Zhang Niu to enter!
"Who needs to see a doctor?" Zhang Niu never cared about anyone's expression and immediately asked in a gruff voice after entering.
Shen Yuanhe's eyes flashed with disdain. What kind of doctor was he? He was just a crude peasant. She wondered if his pulse diagnosis was even accurate.
"Dr. Zhang, my aunt needs to see a doctor. She has had a poor appetite and feels nauseous frequently these past two days." Shen Yuanhe impatiently led her over.
After Zhang Niu sat down, he didn't even lift his eyelids. After taking the pulse, he went straight to making his diagnosis!
"I'm not sick, but I'm pregnant, a little over a month along."
Although Zhang Zifen disliked Zhang Niu's attitude, he was the only doctor on the ship, and she needed to use him to spread the news of her pregnancy to others.
"Really? I never expected that the poor child would come at this time!"
Zhang Niu said irritably, "The child is unfortunate. If you can't blame others, blame your parents. This is exile, not a trip. Can't you tighten your belt and bear with it?"
Zhang Zifen froze, almost unable to hold back her scolding of Zhang Niu.
Who does he think he is, daring to talk to her like that?
"How can you speak so rudely? My aunt is in poor health. If you upset her and harm my younger brother and sister, can you take responsibility?" Shen Yuanhe rebuked.
Zhang Niu's face immediately darkened.
"If she were that easily provoked, she would have died from the shock while unbuckling her belt. You're out of your mind, hurry up and pay your consultation fee, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Zhang Zifen and her daughter looked pale and ashen.
They had never been insulted like this before. Did he even know who they were?
"Yuanhe, go quickly and call your father and the others!"
Zhang Niu scoffed and said disdainfully, "Even if you call the Heavenly King himself here, I'll say the same thing!"
"No one in this world dares to renege on my medical fees!"
Zhang Zifen stopped pretending to be weak, got up, and angrily shouted, "What are you? You're just a lowly commoner from a lowly profession, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know what relationship Young Master Lan has with my family? Do you know what will happen if you anger me?"
Zhang Niu grinned and asked with amusement, "What will be the outcome? Throw me into the sea and leave me without a complete corpse? I never knew that an exiled criminal who committed heinous crimes could be so confident in shouting for violence?"
"Didn't you say that Young Master Lan has a connection with your family? I'm going to find him right now and see if he admits it!"
After Zhang Niu finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Zhang Zifen panicked and quickly got up to stop Zhang Niu!
"Don't leave! Kneel down, kowtow, and admit your mistake, and I'll pretend this never happened!"
Zhang Niu's face fell.
Shen Congwen was summoned.
"Zifen, Yuanhe said you're pregnant, is it true?" Shen Congwen stepped past Zhang Niu and carefully helped Zhang Zifen.
Zhang Zifen glanced triumphantly at Zhang Niu, then turned and nodded shyly to Chen Congwen.
"It's been over a month!"
"That's wonderful!" Shen Congwen exclaimed with delight.
Zhang Niu snorted coldly: "Who's going to pay the consultation fee? If you don't pay, I'm going to report you to Liu Laohu and have him deal with you exiled prisoners severely!"
Sensing the disdain in Zhang Niu's tone, Shen Congwen's expression turned ugly.
"Zifen, go sit down, I'll go get the money!"
Zhang Zifen grabbed Shen Congwen: "Master, he uttered arrogant and insulting words against us. You must stand up for me and Yuanhe!"
Just as Zhang Niu was about to retort, Liu Laohu appeared at the door with his constables!
"Who the hell is causing me trouble?"
