Ordinary people only worry about three meals a day and personal safety, Jiang Wanru is the same, she has never had lofty ideals, nor has she had a savior mentality. (Download floor) She didn't have children before, just drifting along, without thinking about how long she would live. Now that she has two lovely children, she thinks she must live a little longer, at least to protect the two children until they are independent.

  The news brought by Wen Jiuniang still broke her calm surface, and it was inevitable that something would happen. The border of Ningzhou was not peaceful, and the inland area would inevitably have unrest. With people's hearts floating and uneasy, a family like hers was most likely to invite disaster. She took a deep breath and said to Wen Jiuniang: "Thank you for reminding me, if you are going back to the capital, can you take us three mother and son with you?"

  "Are you sure it's safe for you to return to the capital now?" Wen Jiuniang asked softly. Jiang Wanyu smiled wryly, looking at the children in her arms, and compared to their lives, there were many things that didn't need to be taken too seriously. Wen Jiuniang said softly, "Father said we won't be returning to the capital this year because he still has some unfinished business on his hands. However, if next summer the border is still unstable, regardless of whether things are settled here or not, we must all return to the capital."

  The people of the Shang family had originally planned to stay in Zhongnan for another five years. As a conscientious doctor, Shang Dafu felt that the medicinal properties of herbs changed with the seasons and were worth spending all his time studying deeply. At this moment, Jiang Wanyue heard Wen Jiuniang's clear words and immediately let out a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't leaving immediately, she still had time to take care of many things. Moreover, by next year, the two children would be one year older and easier to manage.

  Jiang Wanru put down her thoughts and placed the two children on the ground, watching them mix with Shang Ming. The child was a few months older than the two siblings, calm and stable like Shang Wudafu. Her own two children, the elder son Jiang Feiyang had a lively personality, just like his name. Daughter Jiang Lanyan had a warm and gentle nature, looking like a good-tempered person. Wen Jiuniang looked at Jiang Lanyan, her eyes shining brightly, she felt more and more that Jiang Lanyan was really likable.

  Spring had just arrived, and Fang Zheng's husband and wife rushed to Zhongnan, bringing many accurate messages. Mr. Shang and his family specially entertained the couple for dinner, and after dinner, Mr. Shang and Mr. Shang Wu invited Fang Zheng to the study room for a conversation. In the dining hall, only the women were left chatting. After marrying into the Bi family, she followed Fang Zheng in managing the fabric store's business and had already reached the level of a capable wife. She was articulate and approachable, immediately winning over Mrs. Shang and Wen Jiu's affection. When they heard that she wanted to stay in Zhongnan for a year due to her poor health, the two were instantly delighted.

  Wen Jiuniang listened to the conversation and immediately said to Bi Lu, "My father and husband are both excellent doctors. Why don't you stay for a while and let them take your pulse? Whether you're ill or not, they can help regulate your body." Jiang Wenyu couldn't help but laugh at this, and Bi Lu's face turned red with embarrassment. Shang Furen quickly caught on and glanced at Wen Jiuniang, who was still confused, before smiling and saying, "Let the doctor take a look at your pulse to make sure everything is all right."

  Jiang Wanru knew the character of the two doctors in the Shang family, and originally Bi Lu came over to accompany them and their mother-son, but also wanted to take good care of her pregnancy. Jiang Wanru gently pulled Bi Lu aside and smiled: "Thank you both for your kindness, I will trouble you with guidance and introductions on prenatal care and midwives during childbirth." Bi Lu stood up smiling and bowed to Shang Furen and Wen Jiuniang: "Thank you for your kindness, I still have a lot to learn from you two in the future."

  Mrs. Shang and Wen Jiuniang smiled at each other, looking at Jiang Wanting's expression, then glanced at Bi Lu. Mrs. Shang smiled and said: "Alright, your family's little lazy one, she cares about you, but that temper, born not loving to worry about these things. You come over more often, we'll all chat together." Wen Jiuniang nodded with a smile: "Bi Lu, after you rest well, I'll take you to the vegetable market." After saying this, Wen Jiuniang deliberately looked at Jiang Wanting in a challenging manner, Bi Lu following suit and sizing up Jiang Wanting.

  Jiang Wanmu smiled slightly, the vegetable market was a place she had been looking forward to going for a long time, but she couldn't find a suitable time to go. Jiang Wanmu thought that to understand a place, one should start with food. Although she left Beijing, unfortunately, she had never had the opportunity to get in close contact with Zhongnan. Jiang Wanmu smiled and said to Bi Lu: "We'll follow Jiu Niang to the vegetable market the day after tomorrow, Jiu Niang introduced us to a woman who is good at cooking Zhongnan dishes, you can try some."

  Wen Jiuniang laughed at Jiang Wenyu's words and said to Bi Lu, "Don't believe your mother's words. After Auntie and Jiyuan left, she hasn't even had a meal in her own home yet. She's saying this now because she's worried that one day I won't take her out with me." Madam Shang heard Wen Jiuniang's words and smiled at Jiang Wenyu, seeing her happy face as she said to Bi Lu, "Bi Lu, the home-cooked dishes made by Madam Shang are extremely delicious. Another day when you're free, we'll come over and learn some from her. In the future, we can open our own restaurant."

  Wen Jiuniang smiled and shook her head, looking at Jiang Wanyu who was changing the subject. She whispered to Shang Furen: "Mother, can Xiaolan's cooking be eaten?" Her voice happened to be loud enough for everyone sitting there to hear clearly. Shang Furen lovingly patted her on the back, saying: "You're talking nonsense. Xiaolan didn't put her heart into it, so naturally it's not good." Wen Jiuniang nodded in understanding. Jiang Wanyu thought about how she had never shown off her cooking skills before and suddenly felt ambitious. She said to Wen Jiuniang: "Another day, I'll cook a meal for you to taste properly."

  The men came over after discussing the proper business, and the women were in the courtyard, watching three little children playing tag all over the yard. Shang Ming was already quite strong on his feet, with a big brother's air about him, ordering Jiang Feiyang and Jiang Lazi around to do things his way.

  Jiang Feiyang was a naughty child who wouldn't listen to anyone, dragging his sister Jiang Lanyu around the courtyard and running wildly, making Shang Mingyi shout behind them. The four women couldn't help but laugh at how interesting it was to see the three children interact with each other.

  Fang Zheng didn't stay for many days, and after finishing his business, he left. Before leaving, he entrusted Bi Lu to Jiang Wanru for a few months. As he turned around, he said to Jiang Wanru, "Miss, when my mother comes at the end of the year, can you help us say something? We are a small family, just living peacefully is enough, we don't need those fancy things." He left under Jiang Wanru's worried gaze, and afterwards, Jiang Wanru thought about her own lack of experience in understanding people's hearts, and she was not as good as Wen Jiuniang in this aspect.

  Jiang Wanru and her two children were accompanied by Bi Lu, and their days became happier day by day. The brother and sister would wake up every morning and rush to guess the sex of Bi Lu's unborn child, with different answers each day. Later, Bi Lu asked Shang Ming about the sex of her unborn child. Jiang Wanru looked at her tense expression and thought of Wen Jiuniang's words, sighing in her heart that people's hearts are never satisfied, always yearning for something more.

  Jiang Wanru didn't like Fang Zheng and his wife, and she didn't want any unrelated people to get involved. She didn't know how to explain to Bi Lu that having a boy or girl was a big decision that only men could make. She just smiled at Bi Lu and said: "Bi Lu, I told Fang Zheng to only buy one courtyard in the capital, this courtyard is too small, it can't accommodate unrelated people coming in. Besides, whether the child in your belly is a boy or girl, they are all your and Fang Zheng's children. When Fang Zheng was about to leave, he also told me that regardless of whether it's a boy or girl, he will love and cherish them."

  Biqing listened to Jiang Wanru's words, raised her eyes and looked at her, saying: "Xiaolan, am I not too foolish? I already have a child, but I don't allow others to get close to Fang Zheng. Actually, Mother said it right, those are just playthings, helping me give birth to children. But my heart just can't accept it, day after day facing her, thinking about what she said, my heart is filled with suffocating anger." Jiang Wanru was even more certain that the path she would take was absolutely correct, Biqing was not inferior to Fang Zheng in any way, and now she still had to suffer this evil for the sake of the child.

  Jiang Wanmu smiled and looked at Bi Lü, saying: "Think about it, did Auntie have any instructions when you came?" Bi Lü looked at Jiang Wanmu, muttering: "The mistress said to let Fang Zheng handle this matter. If he doesn't do it to my satisfaction, then I'll let Miss handle it." After hearing this, Jiang Wanmu laughed and shook her head lightly, saying: "Let's see what happens if Auntie insists on being stubborn and Fang Zheng is also a persistent person. Auntie will still want to use the two characters 'filial piety' to suppress you two. I think you two should also have some expression."

  Biqing listened to Jiang Wanru's words, and tears suddenly poured down her face. She wiped away the tears on her face with her hand, covering her eyes, biting her teeth and not speaking.

  When Bi Lu heard Jiang Wan's words, she slowly put down her hands and stared at Jiang Wan, who said firmly: "The Fang Zheng siblings will hate me to death." Jiang Wan smiled and looked at her, saying: "I'm just thinking of the worst-case scenario. With capable people by your side, I'm just passing on my thoughts. It's not like it has anything to do with you. As a woman, she would naturally agree with what I'm doing as long as it doesn't become reality. You and Fang Zheng always indulge her, which is why she becomes more and more arrogant every day."

  Biqing quickly came to her senses, wiping away her tears and saying with a smile: "Xiao Lan, don't bother telling Madam about this. She's busy with many things, let's not trouble her. I'll ask my good sister, whose words are as sharp as her teeth, to help me deliver the gift and convey these words when we pay our respects at the door. After all, Mother is a woman herself, and now that I'm pregnant, she won't make things too difficult for me. Even if the child is a girl, it's not like I won't be able to have another one." Jiang Wanmu looked at Biqing with renewed determination and let out a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as there was a goal to strive for, the child in her belly would definitely be born safely.
