Jiang Wuyou was a woman of inner wisdom; her intelligence was never actively displayed, but rather hidden in her actions and words. As a woman, she naturally understood the importance of children to a mother. In particular, the opportunity for her to become pregnant, which He Yunxiao had secured for her at the cost of his reputation and the risk of not being able to marry the princess, was one that she had to make the most of.
The night air was cool. Jiang Wuyou was supported by He Yunxiao with one hand, while her other hand subtly protected her lower abdomen.
Others might not notice, but those who can become marquises are never simple. Even if He Yuanhao doesn't notice, Zhang Jingxian, being a woman herself, should know.
As Jiang Wuyou expected, both He Yuanhao and Zhang Jingxian noticed her action.
He Yunxiao, on the other hand, was all smiles and knew nothing.
He Yunxiao used a different kind of "wise foolishness" in his judgment—whether his father attacked someone immediately or not, if yes, the matter was over; if no, the matter was settled.
With Sister Jiang entering the Marquis's residence, everything is settled.
Upon seeing the Marquis's wife, Jiang Wuyou immediately bowed deeply to express her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Marquis's wife, for taking pity on my difficult life and being willing to take me into your household to work."
He Yunxiao quickly comforted her in a low voice, "Sister, we won't really make you a maid."

He Yuanhao secretly nudged Zhang Jingxian, and only then did the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion remember that the girl was pregnant and the ground was too cold for her to kneel for long.
"Miss Jiang, please get up quickly. Someone, take you to your room in Congyun Courtyard to rest."
Congyun Courtyard was indeed his own courtyard. Upon hearing this, He Yunxiao immediately exclaimed with delight, "Me too!"
He Yuanhao, the head of the He family, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, "It's a waste to let your unfilial son like you live in Congyun Courtyard. There's an unused woodshed next to the kitchen; you can sleep there from now on. Xian'er, don't forget to prepare a set of quilts for the young master. There's no need to provide him with servants; the ones from Congyun Courtyard can still stay there to work."
He Yunxiao: ?
