There was nothing strange about it, Ying'er shook her head and went back to the courtyard.
Zhao Yi wasn't home today; he went out to discuss business. The two children had already eaten, so only Jiang Bai ate dinner.
A crystal pork knuckle was laid out on the table, and Jiang Bai was enjoying it when Ying'er returned.
"You're here." Jiang Bai waved.
Although braised pork knuckle is delicious, it can get a bit greasy if you eat too much of it.
"Let's eat together." There happened to be an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl next to Jiang Bai.
Ying'er was slightly taken aback, and quickly waved her hand: "This is not appropriate."
"If there's anything wrong with it, just eat it."
She wasn't from this era, and there weren't so many rules to begin with, but once she came to this world, she had to abide by its rules.
But there's no one else around now.
The mistress's words sounded like an order, so Ying'er didn't refuse and sat down to eat with her.
"A meal tastes better when there are two people eating together." Jiang Bai picked up a piece of pork knuckle for Ying'er, which was the most delicious part with a good balance of fat and lean meat.
Ying'er said gratefully, "Thank you, Mistress."
"Don't be shy, eat up."
While eating, Ying'er told Jiang Bai about how she had just delivered the pork knuckle.
Jiang Bai asked, "Did she eat it?"
"I watched her swallow it, but..."
"But what?" Her emotions fluctuated slightly.
"But she seemed to have a hard time swallowing it, even though this pork knuckle is so delicious."
Jiang Bai asked carefully, "Isn't it true? She looked like she was about to throw up?"
Ying'er immediately responded: "Yes, yes, yes! It's that feeling of wanting to vomit but not being able to, and having to force it down."
After saying that, she pouted and said, "What a waste."
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Ying'er, well done."
Ying'er smiled and said, "This is what Ying'er should do."
Jiang Bai thought, Linglong said she wanted to take her pulse this morning, and she was so excited. If there was nothing wrong with her, why wouldn't she let him touch her?
However, the only thing she could think about was getting pregnant.
If Linglong is pregnant, it means she's having an affair, and a woman like her should absolutely not be allowed into the Zhao family.
But the fact that she's hiding this now is somewhat thought-provoking.
This is why she asked Ying'er to bring her braised pork knuckle.
Although pork knuckle is delicious, it is too greasy, and the preparation of crystal pork knuckle is even more so. If she is newly pregnant, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.
But she hasn't grasped Linglong's pulse yet, and she can't make a judgment based on just these two things.
At this point, we need to take it slowly.
No, she herself desperately wanted to give it back to Cui'er.
Cui'er is so important to her, this maid must know something.
Sleeping alone is not easy at all; the space next to her is empty until the person next to her comes back in the middle of the night and hugs her.
In her dazed state, Jiang Bai smelled a familiar scent, which reassured her.
Zhao Yi seemed to have deliberately waited until the effects of the alcohol had dissipated before falling asleep. Jiang Bai, thinking of this, was already fast asleep.
The next day, Jiang Bai got up early. She wanted to tell Zhao Yi about her discovery the day before, but Zhao Yi was still asleep. Besides, there was no conclusion yet, so it wouldn't be good to say anything so soon.
Let's wait until we find out the truth ourselves before making a decision.
Jiang Bai carefully stepped over him and tiptoed off the bed.
After getting acquainted with the children, I ate breakfast with them first, and then watched Le'er read her morning lessons before going to Yipin Pavilion.
Zhao Yi woke up shortly after Jiang Bai left. Not wanting to see Linglong, he washed up and went to Yipin Pavilion to find Jiang Bai.
Meanwhile, at the Zhao residence, Zhao Ping'an was practicing his morning exercises when he accidentally bumped into Linglong.
When Linglong saw Zhao Ping'an, she knew that he was the eldest son of the Zhao family and was highly regarded, so he rarely returned to the mansion.
If we can get along well with Zhao Ping'an...
Linglong stepped forward and blocked Zhao Ping'an's path.
Zhao Ping'an was almost as tall as her, and he said coldly, "What is it?"
He didn't look at Linglong, but remembered what his mother had told him: don't get involved in this woman's affairs.
Linglong was a little embarrassed: "I see that the eldest young master is working hard. I wonder if he is tired. The aunt's courtyard is just ahead. Why don't you go and rest for a while?"
Linglong regained her composure with a life filled with ironic sneers.
Linglong was momentarily uneasy. This child was only twelve or thirteen years old, but his demeanor was quite precocious and serious.
She had a slight sense of uncertainty.
"A concubine? I've never heard of any concubines in our Zhao family. Did you appoint yourself? I've never seen such a shameless woman."
Linglong's outfit was a mix of red and green, which made me furious.
If there weren't so many people around, she would definitely have given this person a good talking-to!
But she still pretended to be very good, saying, "Ping An, what are you talking about?"
Are you tired?
The sarcasm in Zhao Ping'an's eyes turned into disdain: "What are you pretending for? Aren't you tired?"
After saying that, Zhao Ping'an glanced at her and shoved her aside: "Don't stop me from practicing martial arts."
Linglong nearly lost her balance when she was bumped into.
Cui'er exclaimed in surprise and helped the person up; both of them were still in shock.
Zhao Ping'an turned around upon hearing the sound, wondering if it was really that bad.
As expected, this kind of woman is just pretentious.
After this morning's incident, Zhao Ping'an had even less of a good impression of Linglong.
As for Jiang Bai, she had already made a plan.
"How's the preparation going?"
"Manager, they're all here."
Jiang Bai looked at the disguised objects in front of him and smiled slightly: "Very good."
"Find two burly-looking guys to come with me."
