However, this trick only works on Xiao Yanchu; it's useless against Su Ruojin.
If Nian'er makes a mistake, Su Ruojin will punish her as required.
Since Nian'er was two years old, Su Ruojin would send her to Mu'an Village for three or four months of the year to stay with her five masters.
The five masters doted on Nian'er immensely, wishing they could impart all the knowledge they had acquired in their lives to her.
With these masters guiding her, five-year-old Nian'er was already far more intelligent than her peers.
Xiao Yanchu felt sorry for Su Ruojin and didn't want her to suffer the pain of childbirth again, so he secretly asked Ye Xunzhi to prepare some medicine. As long as he took it, Xiao Jin would not get pregnant.
Su Ruojin knew perfectly well, but she didn't expose her.
As for children, it's all up to fate. Having only one child like Nian'er is fine too.
The large ship that Su Muyao was in charge of building over the past four years has been completed and is now moored near the estuary.
Because Xiao Yanchu still needed to protect the Great Chu Kingdom for Yi'er, he didn't have time to fulfill his promise to travel around with Xiao Jin for a while.
But there's no rush, it will happen someday.
Later, Su Muyao had nothing much to do, so she built several more large ships and made some improvements to the craftsmanship.

Beixu.
April 8th.
Today is the first birthday of Su Yuanchuan and Yue Ling's son, Su Wenxuan.
Before, Su Yuanchuan and Yue Ling were busy when they first arrived in Beixu and didn't have the time or inclination to have children. Now that Beixu has settled down, they finally had Wenxuan.
The governor's mansion was full of guests who came to offer their congratulations.
People also spontaneously sent milk, goat milk, and handmade cashmere jackets—things that babies could use—to celebrate the governor's son's first birthday.
Su Yuanchuan and Yue Ling were watching their son lie on the red carpet and grab a book.
The guests offered their congratulations, saying, "Dr. Su, congratulations! Your young master is sure to be a top scholar in the future!"
Su Yuanchuan and Yue Ling were also happy and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.
Just then, a man stumbled into the banquet hall, covered in blood, coughed up blood, and knelt down.
"My lord, Frostmoon...Frostmoon Town has been attacked, the whole...the whole town has been...massacred..." After saying this, the man spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground.
All the guests' expressions changed.
Su Yuanchuan was furious. "Quickly, carry him away. Physician, quickly, treat him."
Frostmoon Town is the former Frostmoon Tribe, now renamed Frostmoon Town.
Now the world is at peace, there is no war between countries, the people of Beixu are living better than before, and there are no bandits at all. Why did this happen?
Who would massacre Frostmoon Town?
A moment later, the physician came out of the house with a sigh and a shake of his head. "My lord, this person's injuries are too severe. It is still unknown whether he can survive."
"Please, doctor, do your best to treat him." After saying that, Su Yuanchuan roared again, "Investigate him!"
Two days later, news arrived that Frostmoon Town was located by the sea, and not long ago, in the middle of the night, three ships suddenly docked, and a group of strangely dressed people disembarked, holding long knives, and rushed directly towards Frostmoon Town.
Frostmoon Town is located by the sea, but it is just a small town and not a major border town. There are usually no troops stationed there.
These people disembarked late at night and began massacring the villagers of Shimotsuki Town.
Because it was night, everyone in the town was asleep and completely unprepared; many people were killed in their sleep.
The villagers who woke up later fought back with knives and sticks, but they were just ordinary villagers and no match for the trained people.
Soon the entire town was awash in blood.
The person who delivered the message must have broken through the enemy lines and, despite his injuries, rode day and night to the governor's mansion to report the situation.
