As the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Ning went to the Rende Medical Clinic, took Shen Zhong's pulse, and said, "You need to stay in bed and rest for the next few days. You can't move."

Liu Qingxiu said, "Then let his father and second brother take turns to take care of him. I will go home to cook and bring it to the three of them when the time comes."

Not long after, Shen Shi came over. Liu Qingxiu asked Shen Shi to take care of Shen Zhong, while she went to find the waiter and gave him some silver as accommodation fees.

Afterwards, Liu Qingxiu bought pig's trotters and Zhou Ning and Shen You and returned to the village.

However, it was getting late today, so Liu Qingxiu just made some side dishes and asked Zhou Ning to call Zhou Wan to eat.

Zhou Ning went to the hut and saw Zhou Wan sorting out today's finished products very seriously, so she stood at the door and waited quietly.

After a long while, Zhou Ning couldn't help but yelled, "Sister?"

Zhou Wan looked up and saw Zhou Ning, pointing at the finished products and said with a smile: "A Ning, you are here, come and take a look."

Zhou Ning naturally wanted to see the finished product herself, so she walked over and said as she inspected the goods, "Sister, why did you agree to marry Brother Shen?"

Hearing this, Zhou Wan did not answer, but asked: "What's wrong? Doesn't Ning like Brother Shen, or does she not want to have more family members?"

Zhou Wan was a little cautious when she spoke, and Zhou Ning knew that was because Zhou Wan cared about his thoughts and was afraid that he would be unhappy.

Zhou Ning organized the words in his mind to express his meaning more clearly.

But in Zhou Wan's eyes, it was a compromise that Zhou Ning was unwilling to make, so she hurriedly said, "Ning, I will always be your elder sister. Even if I get married, we will always be sisters connected by blood. I will not abandon you."

Zhou Ning shook her head and said, "Sister, I know you won't abandon me. I was just thinking about how to tell you how happy I am that I know you are getting married."

Zhou Ning spoke the last few words very slowly, and the candlelight beside her was reflected in her eyes, flickering with warm flames.

"But, sister, you are only sixteen this year and are not suitable for childbearing." Zhou Ning changed the subject.

Zhou Wan was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Sister, although a sixteen-year-old girl has reproductive capacity, her body is actually not fully developed yet. It is not easy to have sex... er... have sex, let alone have children. It is very harmful to the body. She must be at least eighteen years old."

Zhou Ning spoke every word seriously, but she knew Zhou Wan might not be able to accept it.

This is like telling a modern person that 25 is too early to fall in love, which seems ridiculous.

As expected, Zhou Wan felt a little shy and a little unconvinced when she heard these words, and said, "Really?"

Zhou Ning said seriously, "It's true. Look at Sister Sanhua. Although there are many factors that lead to difficult labor, such as giving birth too many times and too frequently, and not taking good care of her confinement, these are all factors that contribute to her poor health. But giving birth too early is also one of the important reasons. Sister, believe me, I won't lie to you."

When Zhou Ning said this, he was calm and firm, which made Zhou Wan unable to help but trust him.

"But, but how should I tell Brother Shen and Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen?" Zhou Wan said.

Zhou Ning thought about it and said, "I can talk to my godfather and godmother about this matter first."

Zhou Ning wanted to talk to Youzi about this matter first, and then slowly talk to Shen Zhong and Shen's father and mother about it.

Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. Shen You asked at the door: "Aning, Sister Wan, mother asked me to call you to eat."

Zhou Ning then remembered the reason why he came here, pulled Zhou Wan up, and said, "I'm here."

After that, the three of them went to Shen's house.

During dinner, Liu Qingxiu lit a candle, so it could be considered a candlelight dinner.

Liu Qingxiu said with a smile on her face what to buy for the young couple and which matchmaker to hire.

Zhou Wan responded from the side, saying whatever you say is fine.

Halfway through the meal, Shen You looked left and right. Zhou Ning couldn't help but complain: "What are you looking at? You're almost like a spinning top."

Shen You asked, "Why don't I see Master and the others? Master used to be the most enthusiastic about eating, but why am I not here today? Did he steal my snacks? He wouldn't have to hide himself then."

Liu Qingxiu said, "I'm not too sure. It seems like your master took the two children to the mountains. He said he was absorbing the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth. He will be back in a few days."

Shen You was not worried about Bai Zhao, but she felt that with Qi Ji's weak body, he might not be able to stay on the mountain.

Zhou Ning saw Shen You's concerns and said, "Master is not a person without sense of propriety. He has his own considerations."

Shen You had no choice but to take a bite of the food, puffing up his cheeks and nodding.

After dinner, Zhou Wan helped Liu Qingxiu clean up the dishes, while Zhou Ning went to talk to Shen You about what happened today.

The two sat on the platform, and the breeze blew past, as if blowing away all their fatigue.

A lot of things happened that day. Zhou Ning leaned on Shen You's shoulder to take a rest and talked like this.

When hearing that Zhou Ning disagreed with Zhou Wan and Shen Zhong getting married now, Shen You nodded and said, "I understand your concerns. Sister Wan is a little young. I will try to persuade my parents indirectly to see what their attitude is, and then try to persuade them."

Zhou Ning nodded and said, "There's no rush for this. By the way, can you think of who did it to my brother?"

Shen You's voice was still a little angry, and she said, "I don't know, but if anyone dares to bully my brother, I won't let him go."
