It was the dead of winter, the accounts in the farm had been settled, and there was nothing important happening in the mansion, so Zhang liked to buy some storybooks from the market. One of them told a story about a concubine in the palace who fought with each other and used a cat to hurt someone, causing a concubine to have a miscarriage.

Thinking of this, Zhang began to feel restless. Cheng Songan's little cat had grown fat, and was greedy and playful. He jumped up and down and played in the garden all day long, full of energy. He often stayed in Cheng Songan's arms. If he kicked or bumped into something, or got infected with some disease, wouldn't her grandson be in danger?

Just when she was feeling uneasy, Old Madam Yu called her to go to Zhou's room to see the child, so she collected her thoughts and followed her in. She saw Cheng Songan sitting on an embroidery stool, carefully holding a swaddling cloth, too nervous to move. Her heart warmed up, and she became even more looking forward to the baby in her belly.

Cui Wenxin and Qiangwei watched with a smile on their faces. Only Zhou, the pregnant woman on the couch, wanted to say something several times but never dared to speak. Whenever she wanted to speak, Cui Wenkang beside her would say with a fake smile: "You are tired. Lie down and rest for a while."

Every time Zhou heard this, she stopped talking.

Cheng Songan met her eyes and said, "Listen to Kang Ge'er, rest peacefully, and don't think about anything else."

Zhou licked her dry lips, smiled bitterly, and then nodded heavily.

Old Madam Yu and Zhang each gave something as a reward to Zhou. The Fourth Mistress had not been close to these two mistresses in the mansion for a long time, and her eyes were warmed at this moment. The things were secondary. The most important thing was that she felt she had someone to rely on and she had her own ideas in mind.

Cui Wenkang, on the other hand, was jealous of the gold and silver items given as rewards, and became more and more unwilling. They were also members of the Cui family, but they lived a life of luxury while he had to rely on them for a living. Sooner or later, he would get these things into his own hands.

Everyone in the room has their own thoughts.

After returning from Fourth Grandma's place, Zhang was no longer unhappy. Her mind was filled with the joy of having a grandson in her arms in the future. Cui Yuanqing had been steady and mature since childhood, which made her worry less, but she also lost a lot of the fun of raising a child. If she had a grandson, she would definitely keep him by her side every day and enjoy his company.

So for the next month or so, Zhang asked Doctor Sun to prescribe a prescription for pregnancy-maintaining medicine. She followed the prescription to prepare and boil the medicine and sent it to Cheng Songan to nourish her body, and she enjoyed doing it never tired of it.

On this day, Zhang personally brought the medicine to see how her daughter-in-law was doing and whether she was pregnant. When she arrived, Cheng Songan was still taking a nap. She didn't ask anyone to call her. She just put the medicine on the table and went to the screen that Cui Wenxin had not finished embroidering and started embroidering.

Luo Luonu woke up earlier than Cheng Songan. He jumped onto the table and sniffed the soup and medicine food box. He then used his front paws to open the lid and tried to jump in. The lid of the food box fell to the ground with a snap.

Cheng Songan woke up from his dream and saw Zhang holding Luo Luonu by the neck and handing him to Xiuhe, scolding him in a low voice: "This little beast is lawless! Don't let it enter the house again."

"Mother-in-law, don't be angry with the cat," Cheng Songan held back his anger, turned over and got out of bed, took the cat from Xiuhe and held it in his arms, "I will keep an eye on it and not let it run to the front yard."

Luo Luo Nu was so scared that he moved around in her arms and meowed a few times into his belly.

Zhang was even more furious, but at this time she only said: "These little things can get into anything. Don't bring in dirty things. You are not in good health, so you might as well send it out first."

Cheng Song'an had been taking care of him for a few months and had already developed a deep affection for him. Upon hearing this, he immediately frowned, "Luoluonu takes a bath and gets rid of insects every day, so he is very clean. If you don't like him, I will go to Cixian Hall to get medicine in the future, so that you won't have to make these trips in vain."

Zhang had not come here willingly in the first place, and she felt a little uncomfortable after hearing these words, so she said, "I happen to have nothing to do today. Since I'm here, I have to see you drink before I leave."

After saying that, he asked Xiuhe to take out the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine from the food box and bring it to her.

Cheng Songan didn't hesitate either. He picked up the soup bowl and blew on it twice before he was about to put it into his mouth. However, before he could put it into his mouth, Luo Luonu suddenly jumped up and pushed it hard with his two claws, overturning the soup bowl. The force was so great that Cheng Songan was caught off guard and the bowl fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

Zhang couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up and pointed at her arms and said, "Look, this little beast can't be tamed. It will get even wilder when it grows up. What if it does something to the child in the future..."

Fortunately, she received Mrs. Yu's advice this time, so she stopped herself in time when she was about to say the word "child" and changed her words, "If you have a child in the future, wouldn't it be dangerous if it bumps into you without a reason?"

Cheng Songan felt a little strange. Luo Luonu was usually a little naughty, but not so manic. At most, he would use his claws to dig in various open containers. He was so violent just now, probably to take revenge on Zhang for catching him just now.

"I'm really sorry. It's my fault for not disciplining him. Don't worry, mother-in-law. From today on, I will discipline him well and prevent him from causing any trouble." Cheng Songan also felt a little apologetic. "Tomorrow, mother, you don't have to ask anyone to deliver soup. I'll go to Cixian Hall."

Zhang was very angry and left with a snort.

After Cheng Songan had the house cleaned, he hugged Luo Luonu and scolded him, "What's wrong with you, little thing? Don't lift the bowl from now on, or you won't have any meat strips to eat."

Luo Luonu rolled his big eyes and meowed very softly, which made Cheng Songan's heart soften. Then he nestled in her lower abdomen again and rubbed his head against it.

The next day, Cheng Songan left Luo Luonu in the house, and went to Cixiantang with Haitang. After all, Zhang was very kind to her, and for more than a month, she had been making some medicine for her every day to replenish her qi and blood.

Her health really improved. She slept less, felt more energetic, and even gained some weight, especially her belly, which was slightly bulging. But her period had not come. When she asked Doctor Sun, he always said that it was okay and would return in a few days. Cheng Songan trusted him, so she didn't care.

When they arrived at Cixian Hall, Zhang saw that she really did not bring the cat slave, and was much more respectful than yesterday. Most importantly, her complexion was rosy and radiant, which showed that the fetus was stable. She was immediately delighted and asked someone to bring the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.

Cheng Songan raised her head and drank, then sat and chatted for a while before Zhang let her go back.

As soon as they returned to Yunxiang Pavilion, Taxue ran out like the wind and said to her, "Oh no, Luo Luonu ran away and hasn't come back yet!"

Cheng Songan's heart skipped a beat: "What? Where is the person watching it?"

Taxue said angrily, "I was just putting up a curtain for the grapevines and gave it to the little girl to look at for a while, and she ran away in the blink of an eye."

Cheng Songan felt something was wrong. Although Luo Luonu was naughty, he recognized his master and was very cunning. It was not the time for him to be in heat yet, so why would he suddenly run away?
