When Shen Ruoyan saw the expression on Sun Qiuwei's face, she immediately understood something.

Looking back, she saw Lu Yan standing a few steps behind them.

Sun Qiu bit her lip slightly, looking like her self-esteem had been trampled on, and asked Shen Ruoyan: "Mrs. Lu, I just want to help you, how could you do this to me..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Yan had already walked over quickly.

Sun Qiuwei blinked her eyes quickly, tears welling up in her eyes. Coupled with her lying posture on the ground, she really felt like she had been bullied.

Sun Qiuwei saw the right moment, took a breath, and wanted to continue to accuse, but she saw Lu Yan striding around her without even looking at the ground. He gently pulled Shen Ruoyan away a few steps, as if she was lying on the ground. She's like trash.

Lu Yan's cold voice was filled with urgency as he asked, "Ayan, are you injured? I'll take you to see a doctor."

After reacting, Qin'er and others also gathered around.

Everyone asked Shen Ruoyan if she felt uncomfortable in any way.

Sun Qiuwei was lying on the ground, isolated and alone.

She didn't give up, took a good stance, and coughed a few times.

Want to attract everyone's attention.

Unfortunately, only a waiter from the store ran over, looked at Sun Qiuwei's twisted posture on the ground, and asked: "Girl, did you break your leg?"

Otherwise, how could a normal person be so twisted?

Sun Qiu gave Xiao Er a stern look.

She shouted "Ouch" and "Ouch" a few more times, but when no one else paid attention to her, she could only get up in frustration.

Through the crowd, Sun Qiuwei looked at Shen Ruoyan who was surrounded in the middle.

Sun Qiuwei made such a fuss just now, and many people around him recognized Lu Yan and Shen Ruoyan.

Although Shen Ruoyan was not injured, she was startled by Sun Qiuwei's actions. She held her belly and whispered to Lu Yan, "My stomach seems to be a little uncomfortable."

Her voice was not loud, and because she was the center of attention, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

A person standing nearby heard this and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mrs. Lu said she had a stomachache!"

Afterwards, the crowd was like a cauldron of oil exploding.

"I'll call the doctor over."

"Hurry and bring Mrs. Lu some hot soup."

"Get out of the way, you all, get out of the way quickly!" The shopkeeper of the pastry shop rushed over carrying a wooden board as high as a person.

Everyone gave way.

After taking a closer look, it turned out that the shopkeeper had actually removed the door panel of his shop and used it as a simple stretcher.

The shopkeeper said to Shen Ruoyan: "Mrs. Lu, lie down on it quickly and we will carry you to the hospital!"

Shen Ruoyan's face turned pale.

It's not that I have an upset stomach, it's just that I'm terribly embarrassed.

She wanted to tell everyone that she was just startled just now, but after taking it easy, she felt much better now.

But when everyone saw her like this, they decided that Mrs. Lu was unwell and insisted on letting her lie down.

A dozen people gathered around the door. Each of them put their hands under the door, as if they would rush out as soon as Shen Ruoyan lay down on it.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan standing there, the owner of the dim sum shop urged: "Mrs. Lu, come up quickly, we will carry you out."

"No... no need, I..." Shen Ruoyan explained quickly, thinking about how to explain herself in order to reject everyone's good intentions.

Suddenly his body felt light and he was picked up by Lu Yan.

The man's strong arms hugged her out of the crowd, "Thank you for your concern. I will take my wife back home to have a rest."

Everyone on the side was still worried and tried to persuade her: "Mr. Lu, your wife is pregnant with a child now. You must be careful in everything, but you must not be careless!"

"Yes, you must see a doctor when you go back."

Lu Yan responded one by one.

Shen Ruoyan was buried in Lu Yan's arms, her ears burning.

It's not like Lu Yan has never hugged her like this before.

On the contrary, when he was just pregnant with the child, Lu Yan couldn't bear Shen Ruoyan's hard work and wished he could carry Shen Ruoyan to the latrine. However, this was all in his own house. Now in front of so many people, Shen Ruoyan was really embarrassed.

The crowd didn't seem to think so much, and they hugged Lu Yan and walked out of the store. It wasn't until they saw Lu Yan holding Shen Ruoyan on the carriage that the crowd gradually dispersed.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the other protagonist in this matter.

Sun Qiuwei stood alone in the shop.

There was still powdered sugar in her hair.

Looking at the carriage going away, the unwillingness in my heart became stronger.

What's so good about that woman?

She was just born better than me.

Why can I marry Mr. Lu?

Why can you win the love of everyone?

However, no matter how angry Sun Qiuwei was, Lu Yan and Shen Ruoyan on the carriage were not affected at all.

"Okay, sit down, I have something to ask you." Shen Ruoyan struggled out of Lu Yan's arms and said with a stern face.

Lu Yan reached for it with both hands, pulled the person back into his arms, put his head close to Shen Ruoyan's neck, took a deep breath, and then let out a contented sigh.

Shen Ruoyan was ashamed and annoyed, and bumped her elbow.

Helplessly, Lu Yan was leaning against her like a piece of brown sugar, and he couldn't push her away no matter how hard he tried.

Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, and in a hoarse voice, he asked, "What do you want to ask me, madam?"

Shen Ruoyan quickly sat up straight and asked seriously: "Let me ask you, why were you in the pastry shop just now?"

Lu Yan had not been seen for several days. Why did she meet him on the street when she went out today, still with Sun Qiuwei.

Coupled with Sun Qiuwei's provocative words, Shen Ruoyan felt sour.

Lu Yan pinched her nose, took out a pack of snacks from his sleeve, placed it in Shen Ruoyan's palm, and explained: "I went out of town a few days ago and just came back today. I wanted to pick some snacks for you. I took it back and unexpectedly met it by chance."

Shen Ruoyan was not an unreasonable person. Seeing that Lu Yan was really tired, her anger was half gone, but she still continued to ask: "Did Sun Qiuwei go with you on this trip?"

Lu Yan did not hide anything, nodded, and explained: "Sun Qiuwei's father was originally a servant in the Ministry of War and happened to participate in the battle against Beidi. I want to use this clue to see if I can find out anything."

Shen Ruoyan knew that Lu Yan had been pursuing the truth about General Lu's death ever since he learned that General Lu was poisoned.

Hearing that she had a clue, Shen Ruoyan immediately said seriously: "I remember that Sun Qiuwei was put into the harem as a maid because she was the daughter of a criminal. Could it be that what his father committed back then was related to that war?"
