An excited Yunfang hurriedly sent someone to fetch a doctor to examine Yushan.
It has been two and a half years since Su Yushan gave birth to Tangdou'er. Her menstrual cycle has always been irregular, sometimes coming every month and sometimes only every two months.
She used to follow the doctor's advice to take care of her body, but after she got pregnant with her daughter, she didn't care about getting pregnant again, so she stopped taking medicine and thought she could just let nature take its course.
This time, she suddenly had a reaction, and she wasn't sure if it was a delayed period or something else, so she could only wait for the doctor to arrive before deciding.
After the doctor arrived, he took Su Gege's pulse to check her health, then smiled and congratulated her, saying that she was pregnant and had been pregnant for more than two months.
She already has two children, so this pregnancy isn't exactly a surprise for Su Yushan. But since she's pregnant, she definitely has to keep it.
Upon hearing this, Yunfang's face lit up with joy. "I knew it was true, and I was right. If Fourth Master knew about this, he would be very happy."
With a quick glance, Yu Shan covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't mention it when he gets back. I'll tell him tonight."
"Okay!" Yunfang agreed knowingly. It wasn't appropriate for outsiders to talk about this; it would be more surprising if the two of them discussed it quietly.
A few days ago, Hongli wasn't busy. After court, he would go to the Ministry of Revenue and return home without any problems. But today, he returned home very late because there were some issues with the accounts at the Ministry of Revenue that needed to be reviewed.
If officials fail to perform their duties effectively, he must personally supervise them to ensure the account books are submitted on time, lest the Emperor lose his temper again.
He was busy all day and didn't return home until evening.
During dinner, Su Yushan didn't say anything. Hongli put a slice of meat on her plate, but she didn't eat it. Right now, she only wanted to eat something light. The meat slice was fried, and she couldn't eat it. She also only drank a small half bowl of porridge.
Hongli asked her if she was feeling unwell, but she didn't tell the truth, only saying that she had eaten some pastries in the afternoon and wasn't hungry at the moment.
As evening approached and it was time for bed, Hongli rubbed his neck, seemingly feeling a bit uncomfortable. Su Yushan guessed he was too tired, so she leaned against him and massaged his shoulders and neck, jokingly saying in a sweet, coquettish voice:
"Young master, what do you think of my strength? Was it too light or too heavy?"
Hongli felt a soreness in his shoulder, so he asked her to lift the weight more.
So she increased the pressure, "Is this alright?"
Nodding, Hongli closed his eyes and enjoyed her massage.
She had only been pressing for a short while when her fingers lost strength, so she simply stopped and reminded him, "Young master, it's time to give him the reward money."
Hongli raised an eyebrow, raised a finger to grasp her chin, and smiled flirtatiously, "How many do you want, my beauty?"
Su Yushan pondered for a moment and said, "If it's for a quarter of an hour, then how about fifteen taels?"
Tilting his head slightly, Hongli bluntly exposed, "Are you sure it's been a quarter of an hour? Are you kidding me? I wasn't asleep."
“Yes!” Su Yushan insisted that she had been massaged for fifteen minutes. “You clearly enjoyed it, how can you deny it?”
Turning around, Hongli leaned against the tent and spoke kindly to her, "I didn't bring any money today, but I can't let you suffer. How about I serve you and let you enjoy yourself too?"
Knowing he was up to no good again, Su Yushan glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and said with a coquettish snort, "I don't care if you serve me."
“I don’t want money,” Hongli said, leaning close to her ear and whispering hoarsely, “Besides, I’m very skilled in martial arts in the tent. You can try it if you don’t believe me.”
He was implying something, but Su Yushan wasn't going to fall for it. She couldn't afford to try; if she did, he wouldn't let her off easily.
After a few jokes, she dared not be too presumptuous and stopped there, saying, "Fine! If you don't have the money, that's fine. I'll give it to you next time."
She gave up, but he disagreed. "You've worked so hard to massage me, I can't let you waste your efforts. If you don't have money, I'll repay you with my body. In short, I can't let you suffer a loss."
"You absolutely mustn't repay me, because if you do, I'll be the one who suffers!" Su Yushan suddenly regretted joking with him, because she noticed that Hongli's dark eyes were already burning with flames, as if he wanted to devour her!
Seeing that he was getting serious and pressed her down in the tent, Su Yushan cried out in fright and quickly stopped him, "Hey---not tonight!"
Hongli's breathing deepened, and he looked up at her. "You've started your period?"
Su Yushan shook her head, stammering as if she had something difficult to say.
Hongli reached back to feel her forehead. "Where does it hurt? Is it a cold or a fever?"
She shook her head again, "I'm perfectly fine!"
That's strange. "Then why can't it be done?"
“Because…” Su Yushan pursed her cherry lips, hesitated for a long time before beckoning him to come closer.
Hongli tilted his head slightly, bringing his ear to her lips. The next moment, he felt her warm, slightly fragrant scent wafting over his ear.
"Because, I'm pregnant again..."
He didn't understand her meaning at first, until he glanced at her embarrassed expression and belatedly realized what she meant.
Are you pregnant? We're having another baby?
The girl in his arms nodded shyly. Only then did Hongli realize that something was wrong. He quickly let go of her, not daring to hold her too tightly for fear that she would have a stomachache.
Recalling what had just happened, Hongli couldn't help but ask curiously, "This is a joyous occasion, why didn't you tell me about it during dinner?"
"I just wanted to tease you! Who knew you'd be so easily provoked?" Su Yushan sighed inwardly at her miscalculation. Hongli raised his finger and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Since you've taken the initiative to flirt, I'll naturally play along. How could I let you off so easily?"
Unfortunately, she was pregnant, and he dared not do anything reckless. He could only suppress his rising desire. "You clearly can't, but you're teasing me on purpose. I've noticed you've become bad."
Su Yushan didn't deny it, and argued without batting an eye, "As the saying goes, one becomes corrupted by one's surroundings, and I learned to be bad from you!"
Hongli disagreed, saying, "I'm a good person, don't frame me."
Su Yushan scoffed at him inwardly, "You're quite proper and composed during the day, but at night you're like a wolf or a leopard. How dare you call yourself a good person?"
"Now I don't even have the chance to be a wolf, the child has ruined me!" Hongli sighed repeatedly. Su Yushan rolled her eyes at him and gave a displeased snort.
"What? You don't want this child?"
“I want a child, but I want you even more. If you get pregnant, I’ll have to become a monk again!” Just imagining that kind of life was unbearable for him.
Su Yushan shrugged indifferently, "If you can't stand it and have other ideas, I won't object."
In reality, he was just saying it casually and had no real intentions. "I tolerated the first two, so what's one more time?"
That night, Hongli did not do anything improper. He personally undressed her, helped her lie down, and tucked her in, showing her great care.
Su Yushan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she could finally take a break.
Upon learning that Su Yushan was pregnant, Xilan was happy for her and couldn't wait to start guessing whether Yushan's baby would be a boy or a girl.
Bamboo says: I've been busy with relatives lately, so my update schedule is a bit irregular. I'll set a regular update schedule after I'm done with this busy period!
