My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

In the long and narrow corridor, a tall man dressed in black walked quickly.

Suddenly, his steps faltered and he stopped.

The lady knew she was pregnant, but she didn't want anyone to know, including the master.

If he told his master like this, it would definitely cause an uproar.

But asking him to conceal it would go against his loyalty and duty. If something happens to his wife one day, he will die.

What is the madam’s reason for not wanting her master to know?

Based on Su Yunwan's past behavior style, Wu Shaohan only stopped and thought for a moment before guessing her inner plan.

In this case, he should not hide from his master.

Remembering that Su Yunwan had always been caring, Wu Shaohan decided to talk to her first and let her tell her master frankly.

This is the best way he can think of at the moment.

But just when he was about to move forward, the courtyard door in front of him opened with a creak, and Zhong Wei, dressed in official uniform, came out of the door.

Seeing Wu Shaohan, he was slightly startled and asked: "Xiao Wu, have you seen Xiao Liu?"

Wu Shaohan bowed his hands and replied: "Uncle Zhong, he is over there in the kitchen and warehouse."

"Did he go looking for wine again?" Zhong Wei's face was stern, and his voice was full of resentment. "The injury was not healed, but he didn't know what to eat. In the blink of an eye, he ran away without a trace."

Wu Shaohan suppressed a smile and said: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, he promised not to drink until he recovers from his injury."

"It's your words that he can listen to." Zhong Wei sighed, "Let's go into the house with my uncle. I have something to entrust to you."

Wu Shaohan hesitated for a moment.

"Why, you still have official duties?"

"No."

The conversation with Su Yunwan was not urgent. At this moment, Wu Shaohan walked into the courtyard with him.

This house is also a green brick courtyard, but it is smaller than the one where the Qin family lives.

There is a ginkgo tree planted in the yard. When the wind blows, the golden leaves float down with the wind, like a group of yellow butterflies dancing.

There was a pretty young woman who was cleaning fallen leaves under the tree. When she saw Wu Shaohan next to Zhong Wei, her heart seemed to be attracted by something, and her eyes widened.

She has never seen such a handsome man!

Wu Shao coldly glanced at him and walked into the upper room with Zhong Wei expressionlessly.

After sitting down, Zhong Wei poured a cup of tea for Wu Shaohan with his own hands: "Xiao Wu, after this battle, I have completely turned against the official family. From now on, it will be hard to guard against open and secret attacks. If anything happens to my uncle, you will take my place." Uncle, please take more care of Xiaoliu."

Wu Shaohan's face was moved, "Uncle Zhong, I don't dare to take on such a big responsibility. It would be more reassuring if you take care of it yourself."

"Xiao Liu's father died when he was a child. There is only one mother and one sister in the family. Now he has gone to Jiangnan with his uncle's family. When the road is more peaceful, let them all move to Youzhou to settle down. In the future Youzhou City must be the territory of General Qin, I can rest assured that you are here."

Wu Shaohan: ...Can we not say such things?

*

Zhao Yongfu pushed the trolley all the way back to the kitchen door of the main house, straightened up and wiped away the sweat.

His eyes fell on the jar of pickled vegetables, and he immediately remembered Jiang Xiaoliu's instructions.

Before the exile team arrived at Heifeng Village, Zhao Yongfu inquired about the personalities and habits of the Qin family members.

The Qin family's shadow guard would not tell others about his master's family affairs, so he asked the officials who stayed behind to find out.

In their mouths, Mrs. Qin was a rebellious and immoral person with an extremely cold and arrogant personality. She drove her mother-in-law and her husband's cousin out of the house, and even made the old lady run away from home in anger.

However, General Qin was good at this, and she controlled him to the death, and ordered the entire Qin family to obey her orders.

Now that their family has become the servants of the Qin family, and his two daughters are left by his wife to take care of him, he has to please his wife more in order to avoid being blamed.

Zhao Yongfu took it into consideration, arranged his appearance, and went to see Qin Junyi.

At that time, Qin Junyi had already sent Qin Ruolan away and listened to Shi Er's talk about meeting Zhao Yongfu's family in the backyard.

Like the mother and son of the fourth house, he also felt that Su Yunwan had a different opinion of Zhao Yongfu's family, and he was lowering his eyes in deep thought.

After hearing that Zhao Yongfu asked to see him, he let him in.

After Zhao Yongfu came in and saluted, he explained his purpose: "I moved back to the mountain and there was only one jar of pickled cabbage left. I would like to ask the master whether my wife would rather eat pickled fish, pickled chicken feet, or pickled cabbage noodles."

Qin Junyi said: "Just do it as you see fit, Madam is not picky about food."

"Yes, the slave will take turns cooking various dishes for each meal." Zhao Yongfu got the answer and resigned.

But as soon as he took a few steps, Qin Junyi stopped him again: "What's so special about this jar of sauerkraut? Why is it served as a meal?"

Zhao Yongfu turned around and explained: "Back to the master, Mr. Jiang Cha ordered to serve the main table. He said that the lady likes to eat, so this servant came to ask for instructions."

"Jiang Xiaoliu? What else did he say?" Qin Junyi stared at Zhao Yongfu, feeling very unhappy: How did he know that Wanwan liked to eat pickled vegetables? !

Zhao Yongfu stared at his threatening eyes and said with numbness: "Master Jiang Cha said that Madam likes to eat sour food, and asked the servant to make lime juice for Madam. By the way, Mr. Wu also agreed."

Qin Junyi fell into deep thought.

Xiao Wu saw that Wanwan had eaten wild sour oranges and knew that Wanwan liked to drink sour juice. Perhaps Jiang Xiaoliu also concluded that Wanwan liked to eat sour juice because of wild sour oranges.

But fruits are fruits and vegetables are vegetables and cannot be confused.

Wanwan didn't like cabbage and hot and sour soup very much when dining at the inn. Has her taste changed recently?

Qin Junyi looked at Zhao Yongfu and Shi Er who were present and asked, "Tell me, why do people suddenly change their tastes?"

Zhao Yongfu thought for a moment and said: "It may be that the sense of taste is reduced, resulting in a boring mouth, and a preference for eating heavy-flavored foods. This is mostly a disease of weak spleen and stomach or cold-dampness trapping the spleen. It may also be psychological factors. Emotions also have a significant impact on taste. .”

There was another reason he didn't say, which was pregnancy.

If the master's joy is in vain, then he will be self-defeating.

However, what he didn't say was revealed by Shi Erdao: "Reporting to the master, if a woman is pregnant, her sense of taste will also be affected."

Qin Junyi's brain suddenly shut down and went blank. After a few breaths, the recent memory is like a silent movie, frame by frame emerging from the depths of memory.

I have a sensitive sense of smell, bad taste, I don’t drink anymore… I don’t want to see a doctor!

"Shier, go and ask Doctor Hua to come back immediately!" Qin Junyi's voice was tight, and his hands on his lap were clenched into fists, his knuckles were slightly white and made a rattling sound.

"Yes!" Shi Er took the order and left quickly.

Zhao Yongfu was almost frozen by the atmosphere in the room, and he was so frightened that his heart hurt.

"You go down first, don't make pickled fish for now." Qin Junyi showed a sad smile. At this time, he still didn't forget that Wanwan had withdrawn the fish head and tofu soup some time ago.

"Yes." Zhao Yongfu responded and quickly stepped back.

Qin Junyi was the only one left in the house. The bright and warm sunshine shone on him through the window, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. A biting coldness swept over his upper body, and his chest hurt to the point of suffocation.

Outside the house, Shi Er pulled Doctor Hua back quickly and bumped into Wu Shaohan.

"What happened?" Wu Shaohan asked worriedly when he saw their hurried expressions.

Shi Er asked: "Brother Wu, have you noticed that Madam may be pregnant?"

Wu Shaohan stiffened suddenly.

When Shi Er saw this, he mistakenly thought that he was helping his wife to hide her master, and couldn't help but sigh that he was confused.

"Let's go together, the master may summon you."

Wu Shaohan's heart tightened and he followed them to the study.

However, when Qin Junyi saw him, he had no time to hold him accountable. He only said to Doctor Hua, "Uncle Hua, please help Wan Wan take his pulse."
