"master……"
Butler Pei lowered his head, staring at the tips of his shoes, his voice fading away: "The previous story about Madam being pregnant... was just nonsense..."
He is really old and confused. Why is he saying that his wife is pregnant?
Not only would he make his master happy for once, but if this incident caused a rift between the master and his wife, he would be committing a serious crime!
Pei Yan only glanced at him calmly, his expression unchanged, "This Marquis knows."
In recent years, Butler Pei has become increasingly unable to understand Pei Yan's thoughts, and seeing this, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
But he remembered what the doctor had said before he left...
Steward Pei plucked up his courage and said cryptically, "The master and his wife are still young. If they want a young master, there's no need to rush into it in the next two years."
Pei Yan's eyes glared, and he could hear the hidden meaning in Butler Pei's words. His voice turned colder, "What else did the doctor say?"
"The doctor told Madam to take good care of her health, and..."
Butler Pei paused. "Also, Madam, it's not advisable to get pregnant until your health has recovered."
Pei Yan frowned, "Not suitable?"
Butler Pei said, "If you accidentally become pregnant, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Madam to give birth to the young master."
"Then there will be no birth."
Pei Yan's eyes were deep and deep, and his tone was resolute: "This matter is not important."
If Huanhuan is pregnant, he will naturally do his best to protect Huanhuan and the baby in her belly.
But Huanhuan is not in good health now, and he will not let Huanhuan take any risks no matter what.
Besides... he never had any expectations of having children.
I just lost my composure for a moment, thinking Huanhuan was pregnant with his child...
"Master is right. After Madam's health has recovered in the next two years, it won't be too late for you and Madam to have the young master."
Butler Pei has clearly seen the changes in his master these days, and secretly hopes that his wife can always accompany his master.
If the master can be open-minded, he won't hurt the relationship with his wife.
Butler Pei sighed, then pulled out a prescription from his sleeve pocket and presented it to Pei Yan: "Before the doctor left, he gave me a contraceptive soup, saying it was a secret recipe passed down from his ancestors and would do very little harm to women's bodies."
"Master, do you want to ask another doctor to examine it?"
After all, the doctor was not a member of their Pei family, so they had to be on guard against him, especially since this prescription would be used for the lady in the future, so they should be extremely cautious.
Pei Yan frowned and refused directly, "No need."
Butler Pei looked troubled, "This... Master, it's better to test it."
"What I mean is that this recipe should be destroyed and not be shown to Madam." Pei Yan's voice was cold.
No matter how small the injury is, it is still an injury. What's more, Huanhuan is already weak, so how can she drink the contraceptive soup?
Butler Pei was stunned for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that the master knew that he was worried about his wife.
He put away the prescription, nodded, and left the yard.
Song Huan could only see Pei Yan's face, as Butler Pei had his back to her.
So in her eyes, she only saw that Butler Pei seemed to have a piece of paper in his hand and was about to hand it to Pei Yan. Pei Yan looked unhappy and did not take it, so Butler Pei put the paper away again.
Song Huan was puzzled. What was written on the paper that made Pei Yan look so unhappy?
When Pei Yan returned to the house, Song Huan served him a bowl of fish soup and asked casually, "What did Butler Pei say to my husband?"
Pei Yan raised his eyes to look at Song Huan, his expression slightly relieved, and said in a clear voice: "It's nothing. Didn't the doctor just tell you not to overthink it? Don't think too much."
"..." Song Huan glanced at this guy calmly, "I would only overthink it if you didn't tell me. If you told me the truth, why would I overthink it?"
Pei Yan was slightly startled, then he chuckled softly, "Yes, my lady, you are right."
Song Huan narrowed her eyes, stared at him with a smile, and didn't even blink.
Pei Yan's ears turned red when she looked at him. He moved his thin lips slightly and ordered the servants in the room to leave.
If I don't give Huanhuan an explanation today, I don't know what tricks she will use next...
In the past, he would have certainly followed her lead, but now Pei Yan was afraid he couldn't control himself...
However, it was impossible for Pei Yan to tell Song Huan the truth about what Butler Pei had said. After pondering for a moment, he finally thought of an appropriate explanation.
"The doctor instructed that until my wife recovers, we... shouldn't have sex." Pei Yan lowered his voice, and the moment he said this, he felt that this statement was not appropriate.
Song Huan: “…” Well, so that’s how it is.
She said why Pei Yanyan's face looked increasingly unsightly.
But the system had clearly told her that there was nothing wrong with her body, so why did all the doctors she met say that she needed recuperation?
"How long will it take to recuperate?" Song Huan asked simply.
But after asking this question, she suddenly felt a little strange... Why did this question make her seem very hungry?
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Pei Yan, who was standing opposite her, suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, a blush flashed across his cheek, and he coughed softly, "About a year."
"Hmm..." Song Huan lowered his head uncomfortably and drank the fish soup.
I can't ask any further, otherwise he will definitely misunderstand even more.
However, at this moment Pei Yan's brows were deeply furrowed, and he seemed to have fallen into deep thought.
The house fell into a mysterious silence for a moment.
When it got dark, the two of them prepared to go to bed and rest.
Pei Yan's frown finally relaxed a little. In fact, as long as Huan Huan was not allowed to get pregnant, it would be fine. If the doctor could develop a prescription that men could take...
"Don't worry, my lady. I will think of another way." Pei Yan made up his mind.
Song Huan: "Hmm? What do you want to do?"
Pei Yan said solemnly: "Sexual intercourse."
Song Huan: “???”
Is this guy poisonous?
Is this matter so important?
…
To Pei Yan, it is very important.
So the next morning, Pei Yan left early and did not return until the middle of the night.
When he came back, Song Huan was already half asleep.
"Huanhuan, I found another way."
Pei Yan whispered in her ear, his face slightly red.
Half asleep and half awake, Song Huan vaguely heard someone talking, but she couldn't hear what was said clearly.
But she felt the coldness from Pei Yan's body, and Song Huan followed the coldness and burrowed into his arms. When she found a comfortable position, she continued to sleep while holding him.
She thought to herself that she must ask this guy what he was doing tomorrow.
But when Song Huan woke up the next day, Pei Yan was no longer in the mansion.
For seven consecutive days, he went out early and came back late every day.
Song Huan didn't know what Pei Yan was busy with, but she... didn't dare to ask.
What if Pei Yan really went to "find a solution"? At that time, she would be unable to persuade him to "think about it" or "not think about it".
But after three more days, Song Huan could no longer bear the boredom in the mansion.
The system has been as quiet as a chicken during this period and has never proactively told her about new random tasks.
Song Huan decided to take the initiative.
It would be very difficult to trigger the mission if you stay in the mansion.
So the next morning, when Song Huan woke up and didn't see Pei Yan, he called Jin Yue and Jin Le and said, "Prepare the carriage, let's go around the city."
The war with the Hu people has ended for nearly a month. The Hu people who had been plundering Ning County wantonly have been much more well-behaved in recent days due to the pursuit of Pei's army.
Pei Yan never issued another order to prevent Song Huan from going out.
Butler Pei did not stop him and asked someone to prepare a carriage.
This is the first time Song Huan has gone out shopping since he came to this world.
The weather in Ning County is dry and cold, and the streets are not very prosperous, with not many shops on both sides.
But Jinyue and Jinle were very familiar with Ning County. They had been here for seven years and knew which shop had the best pastries, which restaurant had the most authentic food, and even... which shop had the best wine.
"This wine...how do you know if the wine they brew is good or not?"
Song Huan was surprised, lowered his head and narrowed his eyes to warn: "Jinle, you are too young to drink."
After coming to Ning County for more than a month, Jinle's originally fair face had darkened somewhat, and he looked... more honest and simple.
Hearing this, she waved her hands and said seriously, "Madam, Jinle is a good boy, that's why he didn't drink."
Song Huan pointed to the plaque that read "Baoji Rice Wine," not being fooled by its appearance. "Then how do you know this is the best rice wine?"
"The housekeeper always asks me to buy wine from this store, and he always tells me that Baoji rice wine is the best. Before I returned to Beijing last year, the housekeeper even bought dozens of cans to bring back to the capital."
Jinle's eyes widened, fearing that Song Huan would not believe her. "Later, when you and the Marquis got married, those dozens of jars of rice wine were confiscated. The housekeeper was heartbroken for a long time."
"..." Song Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the little girl had gained experience from running errands.
But Pei Yan was too stingy to confiscate Butler Pei's rice wine to use as wedding wine.
Song Huan thought about it, got off the carriage, and took Jinle and Jinyue into "Baoji Rice Wine".
"Then we will take a few jars of wine back. When we get back to the mansion, Jinle, can you deliver the wine to Butler Pei?"
Jinle was puzzled. "I just bought two cans of rice wine for the housekeeper the day before yesterday."
Song Huan rubbed her hair and said, "Jinle, you like Baoyunzhai's cakes. I bought a box yesterday and ate it. If someone bought a box for you today, would you not like this gift?"
Jinle shook his head, "No."
Song Huan smiled and was about to give a long speech to explain the truth.
But Jinle pouted and said, "But no one gave Jinle a gift..."
Seeing her like this, Song Huan couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, "After we buy the rice wine, let's go to Baoyunzhai to buy you some cakes, okay?"
"Yes, yes, ma'am, you are so nice." Jinle nodded rapidly, with a big smile on his face, completely losing the aggrieved look he had just shown.
Song Huan: "..." This little girl actually knew how to trick her.
While the two of them were talking, Jin Yue had already bought wine from the owner of the rice wine shop, and called in the servants waiting outside the shop to load the wine onto the carriage.
This process takes some time.
Song Huan then remembered that they had just passed by Baoyunzhai, which was not far from the wine shop. "Jinle, how about we go to Baoyunzhai to buy some cakes?"
Jinle's eyes lit up and he was about to agree.
But at this time, the owner of the liquor store spoke up to dissuade Song Huan, "Madam, please don't blame me for being nosy."
"Ning County is not as stable as the capital. Madam, please wait until your servants pack the wine before going to Baoyunzhai to buy cakes. There are not as many rich people here as in the capital. The cakes in Baoyunzhai will not be sold out until sunset. You don't have to worry about not being able to buy them if you go too late."
Song Huan was startled when he was reminded by the wine shop owner.
She was indeed careless just now. She should be more careful when going out.
"Thank you." Song Huan nodded lightly to the proprietress.
The proprietress had a kind face and smiled when she heard this, "You're welcome, ma'am."
After a while, the servant brought the wine, and Song Huan and the others got on the carriage and set off for Baoyunzhai.
After they left, the owner of the wine shop also hurriedly left the shop, leaving only the clerk to look after the shop.
The woman went west and first entered a rice shop, and then got on a dusty carriage in the rice shop.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at a small village.
The proprietress got off the carriage, asked the driver to wait outside the village, and walked into the village alone.
She walked into the house at the innermost part of the village and knocked on the door.
"Brother Qin Huai."
As she spoke, she looked around and said in a low and quick voice, "I have something to report to the owner of the manor."
