I was shocked and almost jumped up from the bed, but before I could react, I heard Hua Zhu's shout from outside: "Who is it?!"

The figure flashed and disappeared.

I was stunned again, blinking and looking at the window, as if I was playing a shadow puppet.

Who is it?

Immediately afterwards, Hua Zhu ran over and her slender figure appeared on the window. I calmed down my heartbeat, walked over and opened the door in my clothes, and Hua Zhu immediately came forward: "Miss Yan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"There was someone here just now!"

"oh?"

"Miss Yan didn't see it?"

I grabbed the clothes on my chest and shook my head: "I fell asleep shortly after I lay down."

"oh……"

Hua Zhu probably felt a little regretful. She couldn't come and catch the suspicious figure immediately, and pouted slightly, and I whispered: "Miss Hua Zhu, have you read it wrong?"

She looked up at me, her eyes wide open, with a little aggrieved: "How could it be?"

I smiled and said, "I'm not saying you're not doing well, but Huai'an Prefecture is not Jinling Prefecture after all, and it's different from before. Besides, the people in Huai'an value us so much this time. Even the inner and outer cities are in a curfew, and there are so many people patrolling and guarding me. How could there be some idle people waiting to come to my room?"

“…”

Although she was still a little dissatisfied, she did not immediately refute after hearing what I said.

I said, "Maybe you misread the patrol people, maybe it's not necessarily?"

“…”

"Anyway, don't be too nervous. We've been here for so long, so you should have a good rest."

Hua Zhu immediately said, "The master said that I want me to protect Miss Yan."

I said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. Miss Yan, it's late, you'd better go in and go to bed. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Well. You go and rest too."

I retreated to the room and closed the door. I could still hear Hua Zhu yawning, and her footsteps slowly moved away.

I sat back to the head of the bed, and the candle was not lit. I just looked at the window, and the faint light coming from outside became dimmer and dimmed. The ghostly figure did not appear again. I finally couldn't stand the sleepiness that came, and slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, it was just right.

After I opened my eyes, a group of maids came outside to serve me and stood up. These people were obviously Zhou Chengyin's servants, and the officials' servants were not so young and beautiful. After they served me to wash, someone sent breakfast outside.

There was a big table.

I glanced at it, frowned slightly, and said, "I am alone and can't use so many meals. Did you send it wrong? Mr. Pei and his wife are there."

The kitchen man said respectfully: "No mistake. This is what the master told us to send to you."

"oh……"

I raised my eyebrows slightly.

Zhou Chengyin asked them to deliver it to me.

Looking at the girls who came to serve me and were very smart, I understood that last night Pei Yuanxiu was too dull, or a little bit uneasy. Zhou Chengyin also wanted to flatter him. Since it was difficult to start with him, of course he had to start with the people around him. Last night, Pei Yuanxiu was so nervous about me, of course he was seen by others.

So I smiled and said nothing.

After sitting down and taking a few bites, Pei Yuanxiu came.

He rested for one night, and he was more energetic than he had looked after a few days of trekking. When he saw me sitting at the table eating, a smile appeared in his eyes. He walked over and sat next to me. The maid next to him had eyesight and hurriedly served him a bowl of porridge. He took it and ate it with a smile.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. When I looked up, I saw that Zhou Chengyin walked to the door.

As soon as he saw Pei Yuanxiu, he hurriedly possessed himself and saluted: "Young Master."

Pei Yuanxiu was still holding half a bowl of porridge in his hand: "Why are you here?"

"I used to go to discuss some things with the young master. I heard that the young master came here, so I'll do it--"

He said, looking at us from the corner of his eyes.

"What's up?"

"It was what I said last night, using the families of those mobs to force them to show up, and then..."

Pei Yuanxiu immediately put down the bowl in his hand: "Let's go out and talk."

"yes."

He got up, looked back at me again, and said, "Eat more."

I had never spoken before, and at this time I just said "um" a little. Seeing them walking out, Zhou Chengyin's eyes flashed and looked at me.

Obviously, Pei Yuanxiu came here to accompany me for breakfast early in the morning, and he saw it again.

Although I kept burying my head in the porridge bowl, I could hear clearly what they said.

Use the families of those mobs to force them to appear...

The next time passed very slowly.

Although Huai'an Prefecture is very quiet, probably because it is in an extraordinary period, the whole of Huai'an is very quiet, and there are no people on the streets. I sat in the room, except for the wind, there were also servants who came and served in the prefecture, and almost no other sound could be heard.

But there are many people coming and going.

Maybe someone said hello, or maybe they all saw my special identity. After breakfast, there were endless people coming to me to give gifts and greetings. At first, Hua Zhu didn't say anything, but after a long time, she saw that I was a little tired, so she stood at the door to block the people.

After she persuaded a group of people to leave again, I asked her: "Where is Pei Yuanxiu and your master?"

Hua Zhu said: "They seem to have something to do with Mr. Zhou in Huai'an. I just saw them going outside."

"oh……"

I nodded and looked at the sky outside again. It was almost noon, so I went to pour a cup of tea myself. When a few girls who were serving outside saw it, they hurried over and said, "How can you do it yourself?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I said: "It's just a small matter."

At this moment, a drumbeat came from afar.

The sound was very small because the distance was too far. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't hear it. No one of the people around you heard it. Only when I heard it, my hands loosened and the teacup fell to the ground, and it shattered with a clang.

Everyone was shocked at this moment.

Everyone saw me frowning, holding the table with one hand and covering my stomach with the other, and slowly bent down.

They were frightened and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "I...my belly--"

Before I finished speaking, the people around me were scared and looked no longer looking. I never thought that I was fine just now, but now my stomach was uncomfortable. Hua Zhu hurriedly walked in. Seeing me like this, she immediately said: "You guys hurry up and notify us young master! Also, call the doctor, call the doctor quickly!"

The people ran out in a hurry, and the remaining two and Hua Zhu helped me to the edge of the bed. At this time, I could no longer speak and leaned against the head of the bed and almost fainted.

After a while, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside.

I don’t know where Pei Yuanxiu was just now, and he came back so soon. As soon as he rushed in, he immediately ran to me and grabbed my hand: "Qingying, what's wrong with you?"

I was sweating profusely, and I just opened my eyes and looked at him, shaking my head gently.

Zhou Chengyin and the others also ran in. When they saw me, they immediately turned around and questioned the girls and servants: "What's going on? Why is this happening?"

The people were so scared that they fell to their knees and said tremblingly: "We don't know, the lady suddenly said she was feeling uncomfortable."

"What did you do before?"

"We did nothing."

"Yes, we just saw the lady pouring tea and came in to help..."

"Madam pours tea in person? What do you want to do?!"

Zhou Chengyin was so angry that she scolded those people. I frowned and said softly after hearing it, "It has nothing to do with them. I just--I don't know why, it's fine, and my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable."

While saying that, I looked at the door: "Doctor is here?"

Pei Yuanxiu also looked back and Zhou Chengyin immediately pointed at the people and cursed: "Why don't you go and urge me!"

After a while, the doctor was invited by them.

The doctor probably thought it was a routine examination of a pregnant woman, but after taking the pulse, her face changed.

Pei Yuanxiu immediately asked, "What's going on?"

The doctor seemed to be a little unbelievable, and then he pressed my pulse hard. After a while of treatment, Zhou Chengyin next to him could not help but ask, "Speak!"

The doctor raised his head and looked at me, then looked back at Pei Yuanxiu and the others: "Madam's... pulse..."

“How is that?”
