As long as she can leave the Protectorate, there is hope for her to leave Datong City. Once she leaves the city, Cheng Lang will absolutely have no way out!
"I want to take a walk in the backyard." Luo Yining said to Wanchun.
Wanchun had no suspicion of her; the lady liked to go out for walks whenever she pleased. She was quiet and quite easy to please. She wrapped her cloak around her and took a hand warmer before following her out.
The backyard wasn't much to see, just a winding network of houses, connected by corner gates. There were some water tanks in the courtyard for plants, but at this time of year, the entire surface was frozen. After entering the backyard, Yining quickly shook off the maid and headed towards the hay cart. Even as she hid in the haystack, her heart was still pounding.
The used hay had a pungent odor of horse urine, which was actually quite unpleasant. She tried to breathe lightly, and fortunately her breath was not heavy. She just hoped that the driver would not notice that there was an extra person in the hay pile at the back.
Soon after, she heard the driver's footsteps and became increasingly nervous...
Soon the car started moving, and Luo Yining finally breathed a sigh of relief. She clutched the edge of her autumn-colored cloak tightly, trying to shrink it. She had chosen this color specifically.
A quarter of an hour later, the Protectorate began to stir. Wanchun and Wanxing, two of the maids who served as watering girls, were punished by being made to kneel on the frozen surface as punishment for their inadequate guard duty. They cried in rage, their knees almost breaking. Cheng Lang could no longer care about them. With a sullen face, he led the guards outside, "Stop all nearby vehicles and inspect them. Set up checkpoints at the city gates. Do not open them until they find the suspect!"
If she disappeared in his hands, that would be absurd! Besides, she was so young and looked like that... If something happened, there was no telling what would happen to her!
Cheng Lang remained indifferent, not even smiling. After the capture of Datong General Zeng Yingkun, this place became Lu Jiaxue's territory. He could simply seal the city gates!
Luo Yining never imagined that Cheng Lang could even seal the city gates, otherwise she would never have thought of this idea. When she was hiding in another carriage and was pulled out by him, she was shaking with anger. She almost slapped him in the face!
"You're doing fine, you can run quite fast. You almost made it out of the city." Cheng Lang grabbed her and put her in the carriage, pinching her wrist and saying, "This is the border, the defense is impregnable. Even if you leave the Protectorate, you can't leave Datong City!"
Luo Yining had been lying in the haystack for a long time, feeling suffocated and not daring to move. He was also exhausted from the journey. He didn't have the energy to argue with him, only to feel a splitting headache throbbing.
Seeing her face was not looking right, he reached out and pressed her temple. "What's wrong? Is your headache coming back?" He said, "Don't worry, I've found a doctor. He's waiting at the Protectorate." Then he ordered the carriage to go faster. How could it not hurt to toss and turn like this in winter? It wasn't completely healed to begin with.
The carriage was still moving. After a period of silence, Luo Yining suddenly asked, "Alang... can you let me go? What if I beg you?"
It was the first time she had called him A Lang after so many days. Cheng Lang was almost shocked. He sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Yi Ning... I'm really sorry..."
Letting her go, he wouldn't know what would happen to her. He probably wouldn't have another chance. Although Luo Yining had ignored him these past few days, Cheng Lang felt a strange joy living with her. He was just afraid that if he had too much contact with her, he would be unable to resist... so he didn't dare to have too much contact.
She closed her eyes.
"You clearly know it, but you still have to ask..." Luo Yining seemed to be laughing at himself.
They had already reached the Protectorate General's Mansion, and Cheng Lang helped her down. Sure enough, the doctor was waiting in the hall. Cheng Lang had predicted that Luo Yining would definitely not be able to leave Datong City in this state.
Luo Yining, reeking of stench, had just changed her clothes and sat on the couch, being examined by the doctor. The doctor, having seen her before and well-versed in medical knowledge, took a long time to feel her pulse. Luo Yining, now exhausted from her failed escape attempt, felt drowsy and sleepy, so she let him take her pulse.
After taking the pulse, the doctor walked out of the room, a puzzled look on his face. Seeing Cheng Lang still outside, he bowed and said to him, "Congratulations, Master Cheng. Your Madam's pulse seems to be pregnant. It's just that the month is not yet here, so I can't tell for sure, but based on experience, I think it's almost certain."
Cheng Lang was startled when he heard this. An inexplicable feeling welled up in him, but he couldn't tell what it was. He knew she wasn't pregnant, so he asked, "Pregnancy pulse?"
"Of course I am. I've been practicing medicine for over thirty years, so I'm pretty sure of that."
Luo Yining...actually had sex with her third brother. She was even pregnant with Luo Shenyuan's child!
She was actually pregnant with Luo Shenyuan's child.
