Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

The clue that was finally found was lost again. Shen Qingchen felt heavy in his chest and extremely upset.

Neither the county magistrate nor the chief clerk dared to offend him. They thought it was a joke. The imperial official could chop people off at will. Their official positions were not even as high as the county magistrate's.

Shen Qingchen went to Fengjia Village alone. Seeing that the place was becoming more and more remote, with shabby and low thatched houses all around, his brows furrowed more and more.

In front of me, a short old man with a slightly hunched back was walking slowly. He was carrying a worn-out hoe on his shoulder and seemed to be going to work in the fields.

Shen Qingchen quickened his pace to catch up.

When he got closer, Shen Qingchen found that the old man was even older than he had imagined. Time had left deep marks on his face. His eyes were dull and lifeless, and his body was pitifully thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Shen Qingchen feels a little uncomfortable as he has to work in the fields at an age when he should be enjoying his retirement. In places where the emperor's grace does not reach, the lower class people still live a hard and poor life.

He felt the burden on his shoulders become heavier.

"Old man, do you know where Feng Mian's house is?"

The old man stared blankly at the young man in white in front of him, thought for a moment, and pointed to the distance with his skinny fingers trembling.

"Go straight ahead, through the grove, and around a small hill, and that's where Feng Mian lives. But young man, what do you want from him?"

"I heard that his wife was pregnant, so I came here to congratulate her."

The old man shook his head: "That's unfortunate. He hasn't been home recently and may never come back."

"Why?"

"He committed a crime." The old man said bluntly: "His wife was too beautiful and was coveted by the county magistrate's son. Although we Fengjia Village people are poor, we are brave. He killed the thief who broke into the house in the middle of the night and fled."

Just as I thought.

"Thank you for telling me, old man." Shen Qingchen stuffed a silver ingot into his hand and strode in the direction the old man pointed.

The old man looked at the silver in his hand, wiped his eyes twice in disbelief, and shed turbid tears with excitement.

Now I have the money to buy medicine for my husband, and I can spend more time with him.

Shen Qingchen looked at the house in front of him. The brick and tile house was built in an ordinary way and many details were not exquisite enough, but it was unique in Fengjia Village.

The gate was tightly closed and there was a conspicuous seal on the outside, but this did not stop him. He flashed and nimbly climbed over the wall.

The yard was filled with a disgusting stench, a mixture of death and decay. Swarms of flies were flying around, and the ground was covered with black marks.

Looking around, the entire courtyard was in a mess. It was obvious that a serious bloody incident had occurred here.

There were two rooms, one in the east and one in the west. He opened the west room and found it empty with only a lame table and a wooden bed, nothing else.

Shen Qingchen's mood became heavy. Is this the kind of life she will live with Feng Mian?

He pushed open the door to the east again and was stunned.

There are rosewood carved canopy beds, lotus-shaped incense burners...candlesticks, bead curtains, screens, and ornaments.

The flowers on the vase have withered, but there is still some unused rouge on the yellow pear wood dressing table, and there is a dressing box next to it.

Shen Qingchen went forward and opened the dressing box. Inside were an ivory comb and black ink from spiral beads, but no jewelry. However, judging by the importance the owner attached to the room, they must have been taken away.

Shen Qingchen didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He was happy that Yue Lingyin did not suffer, but he was worried that he did not find any useful clues. It could be seen that Feng Mian treated her very well, would she be moved?

She didn’t know whether Yue Lingyin was moved or not, but now Feng Mian was the only one she could rely on.

At this time, the two were standing on a hillside.

Feng Mian looked into the distance and said with a firm gaze: "As long as we climb over this high mountain in front of us, we will reach Dongchuan Prefecture."

Yue Lingyin was wearing a veil and holding her stomach with her hand: "Feng Mian, let's take a break, I'm so tired." Her words revealed fatigue and weakness.

Feng Mian spread a blanket on the stone and carefully checked if there were any uneven spots. Then he carefully helped her sit down. Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, a struggle flashed through his mind.

He pursed his lips and said, "We will be safe for the time being when we arrive at Dongchuan Prefecture. We will first find a place to wait for you to give birth to the baby."

Yue Lingyin nodded. At this moment, her belly looked several times bigger than that of a normal pregnant woman. Walking on this rugged mountain road was like a torture for her.

At this moment, she felt her lower abdomen becoming increasingly tighter, and there were waves of unbearable pain in her pubic area, which made her feel a little unbearable.

"I'm sorry." Feng Mian's heart ached, his voice was low and hoarse, filled with endless sadness and self-blame.

Yue Lingyin was startled, her beautiful eyes full of doubt and confusion, she frowned slightly: "Why do you suddenly say that?"

Feng Mian took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and said slowly: "If you hadn't followed me, you would definitely be living a better life now. It's my fault that I don't have the ability to protect you, so I let you wander around."

His words revealed his deep guilt towards Yue Lingyin.

"Don't say that." Yue Lingyin held his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. It's my beauty that caused this. You are implicated by me. I should be the one to say sorry."

Feng Mian didn’t think so. Yue Lingyin would have better choices if she didn’t follow him.

General Fuguo was famous and powerful.

The emperor ruled the world and controlled the power of life and death.

Compared with them, I pale in comparison.

Whether in terms of status, position, strength or background, they are far superior to herself. Perhaps it is safest for Lingyin to follow them.

These days he kept asking himself: Do you want Lingyin to live a miserable life with you for the rest of her life? Do you want her to hide her appearance for the rest of her life? If her appearance is coveted by someone again, will you still kill that person and take her away?

The baby is about to be born and needs a safe and peaceful environment to grow up.

If the child knew that he could have been born into a royal family or a general's mansion, but became a commoner because of his intervention, would he hate him?

He didn't know, and if Lingyin couldn't settle down, would she regret it?

But even if he didn't regret it, could he just let her live a hard life with him? That would be too selfish.

"What's wrong?" Yue Lingyin asked, "But is there something wrong?"

Her face turned slightly pale, not because she was timid, but because she was in no condition to withstand even the slightest bit of hardship.

Feng Mian felt even more distressed. It was his incompetence that made her worry and fear while pregnant.

He smiled with a relaxed look: "No, I'm just thinking about how big a yard I should prepare."

Yue Lingyin breathed a sigh of relief: "A simple place to stay is fine. I don't like anything too luxurious."

Feng Mian said: "Okay, I'll listen to you this time."

Yue Lingyin finally smiled, and Feng Mian looked at her steadily: "If, I mean if, if General Fuguo came to find you, would you go with him?"

Yue Lingyin shook her head.

Feng Mian continued to ask: "What about your Majesty, are you willing to go with him?"

Yue Lingyin still shook her head: "I just want to be with you now. After the baby is born, we will continue to venture into the world."

Feng Mian felt both sweet and bitter: "Okay, I'll cover for you."

Yue Lingyin’s belly was too big to be carried on the back, and it was uncomfortable for Feng Mian to hold her, so they could only support her and walk slowly down the mountain. Finally, they settled down in a small town.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yue Lingyin seldom goes out. Feng Mian cooks, washes clothes, prepares things needed for childbirth and baby clothes, etc., and is busy every day.

But even though the two were very careful, trouble still came knocking on their door.
