Song Liyun's ruthless methods left the various tribes with no further developments.
The once-popular chieftain Simon suddenly fell silent, and even his people disappeared.
Song Liyun did these things without hiding them from anyone; the five thousand troops who appeared for only one night calmed the restless hearts inside and outside Mida City.
Everyone knows what happened, yet it's as if nothing happened at all.
As the sun rises and sets over the Mida River Valley, cattle, sheep, and horses graze leisurely, while business continues in the city.
After Zhao Tingduo left, almost a month had passed when news finally arrived.
Song Liyun had just finished drinking the milk tea that Yun Niangzi had brought when she received a letter personally delivered by Jian Fangtong.
"Madam, the city lord has won a battle and is now assisting in dealing with Pingliang Fort."
Jian Fangtong was in a good mood. He had just received news that the Di tribe soldiers were being besieged by the Zhenbei Army within the territory of the Wu Dynasty and wanted to withdraw, but were driven back by the city lord's troops.
Besieged on both sides with nowhere to retreat, the Di troops have now entered the mountains of Wu Dynasty and are being persuaded to surrender.
Song Liyun had read the letter, and Zhao Tingduo had said the same thing.
It's just explained in more detail.
Upon arriving at Pingliang Fort, he immediately engaged in a battle with the Di soldiers stationed there.
The Mida army was fully equipped with armor and arrows, and the Di soldiers of the royal court were no match for them. They collapsed at the first contact and abandoned Pingliang Fort in defeat.
However, it is late summer now, and the vegetation in Wuchao Mountain is lush, the fields are full of grain, and the warhorses have no shortage of fodder. The Di troops of the royal court may take some time to surrender.
The ability to capture over a thousand Di soldiers also helped resolve Zhao Tinglei's mistake in Hecheng.
Song Liyun frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
But she knew nothing about these things on the battlefield, and besides, the Zhao brothers were already very experienced, so she didn't need to worry about them.
Song Liyun touched her chest; she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
I was probably too tired recently!
Song Liyun fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and even when Lady Yun brought her some snacks, she wasn't woken up!
But in the following days, she became increasingly tired, and finally, when she felt nauseous and vomited after drinking a bowl of fish soup, Yun Niangzi exclaimed in surprise, "Madam, could it be that you are pregnant?"
Song Liyun touched her belly, somewhat skeptical: "When is my period?"
Her periods have always been irregular, and Yun Niangzi usually helps her keep track of them.
Lady Yun counted on her fingers: "The last time was when the eldest young master and the others first arrived that month, and the eldest mistress brewed medicine for you..."
Song Liyun paused in surprise: her sister-in-law Yang Hua had been supervising her to take her medicine every day for the first month after she arrived. At that time, with her brother and sister-in-law by her side, she was in a good mood and obediently drank it.
It was only in the second month that I got annoyed and secretly skipped drinking much.
My period was the same; it didn't come the second month. I thought it was just a delayed period again. Could I really be pregnant?
Yun Niangzi was overjoyed and kept calling for her maid to bring tea and water, and then went to invite Wan Youyou and Old Master Yu.
Biqi and Yurui, the two older maids, quickly stepped forward to serve.
Yun Niangzi paced around the room, wanting to call the doctor from the city who ran the clinic, but Song Liyun stopped her: "Aunt Yun, it's not a serious illness. Youyou and Old Master Yu can take my pulse. Don't make a fuss!"
Wan Youyou is a well-read and talented woman, and Old Yu is also a know-it-all. They both understand common illnesses and only need to confirm whether she is pregnant; no prescription or medication is required.
Wan Youyou and Old Yu quickly arrived from the research institute.
Wan Youyou smiled broadly, her eyes sparkling: "Young Madam, are you really pregnant?"
Song Liyun rolled her eyes at her: "I don't know yet, that's why I need you to come and take my pulse!"
Wan Youyou said happily, "Looking at how haggard you look, I thought you were suffering from lovesickness after the young master left. Now it seems you must be pregnant!"
Song Liyun was speechless and rolled her eyes at her: "Don't you miss Abu?"
Wan Youyou laughed so hard she bent over!
After marrying Abu, she came to Mida City. Here, without elders, she was free to do as she pleased. She also became close friends with Song Liyun, and no longer hid her true nature, becoming more and more open.
Old Master Yu brought a pulse pillow and asked Song Liyun to sit down so he could carefully examine her pulse.
He touched her left hand and then her right, repeatedly confirming before smiling and saying, "Congratulations, young mistress, you are indeed pregnant. However, the pregnancy is unstable, and you will need to rest and recuperate!"
Wan Youyou also stepped forward to take the pulse, and felt that the pulse was like rolling beads, which was a true sign of pregnancy.
The news quickly reached Fang Zheng, Lao Qian, and a few others.
Everyone was overjoyed.
The master of Mida City has been married for four years and has not yet given birth; it would be a lie to say he is not anxious.
Song Liyun was already in her early twenties, and Zhao Tingduo, at twenty-five, still had no children. Madam Wuya had secretly inquired about this several times.
Now the baby is finally coming, but unfortunately the young master is away on a military campaign and didn't receive the news immediately.
Song Liyun is now two months pregnant and must stay in bed to protect the pregnancy. Old Master Yu has also prescribed medicine and found the medicine in the city lord's storeroom to prepare it.
Under Yun Niangzi's supervision, several maids were responsible for Song Liyun's food, drink, and daily needs, and in their spare time, they also made children's clothes.
Old Master Yu kept the matter of the city lord's wife's pregnancy a secret.
The situation is unusual. Although Mida City appears calm on the surface, no one knows who might make a move.
Let's keep this a secret for now; only a few people close to Song Liyun know about it.
Everything depends on the city lord's return, or at least on the city lord's wife's pregnancy becoming stable.
However, since this news could be kept from others, it still needed to be told to Lady Uya.
Shi Tou had been in charge of general affairs at the City Lord's Mansion and was also someone trusted by Song Liyun.
He accepted the mission to deliver a message back to Kara Mountain, and without taking any other people, he set off with only his adoptive father, Zhao San.
