  Mrs. Pei's new favorite is probably worried about more things recently, so she has been a bit restless and her complexion doesn't look good. The fetus is still stable, though. Lin Lan prescribed her some calming and stabilizing medicine for the fetus and told her to rest more. Then she packed up her medical tools and left with Pei Ziqian.

  "You can tell your mother to rest assured, this aunt is carrying a baby girl." Lin Lan said as she walked.

  "Really?" Pei Zhiyun's eyes lit up, then immediately dimmed again: "Then my dad will be disappointed."

  Lin Lan comforted him by saying, "If Father is going to be disappointed, that's a good thing. It means he just wants a son to carry on the family line and doesn't really like this aunt of yours."

  Pei Zhiyuan sighed and said, "It can only be comforted in this way."

  As soon as she left the yard, she saw Li Mingyun and others waiting for her. The two of them bid farewell to Pei Zhiqian and went to the pharmacy first. Fu An and Mo Ziyou were busy checking the newly delivered medicine, while Yu Rong and Yin Liu were helping to pack the medicine at the counter. Everyone was busy in an orderly manner. Lin Lan turned around but didn't see Wen Shan and Dongzi, so she asked Yin Liu where they had gone, not even coming to help out a bit.

  Yinliu said, Wenshan went to Ye's silk store to see his father, and Dongzi followed him to drink tea.

  "Yinliu, first put down your work and go call the person back. Hurry up and finish early so you can rest early too." Lin Lan instructed.

  Yinliu was very enthusiastic and responded immediately that he wanted to go. Li Mingyu raised his hand and said, "I'll go instead and take a look at whether or not Big Uncle is there."

  Li Mingyun went and brought back Dongzi in no time.

  "Wen Shan is helping his father with the inventory, almost done. I'll let him finish up and then come over. This kid was getting in the way over there, so I brought him back first." Li Ming Yan said, glancing at Dong Zi, who was chatting enthusiastically with two maidservants while everyone else was busy.

  Dongzi smiled and rolled up his sleeves: "Fu An, little brother, I'm here to help..."

  Lin Lan stared at Ming Yun, shaking her head. Ming Yun cleared his throat twice: "Spring has arrived, that... you know."

  Lin Lan pouted and threw over the account book: "I don't know anything, help me keep accounts. I'm going to help Second Master sit in the hall."

  "Ask me to keep accounts? Isn't there Mr. Accountant?" Li Mingyun shouted while holding the account book.

  Lin Lan didn't even turn her head: "The accountant is on holiday today."

  Li Mingyuan sullenly opened the account book and muttered: "This accountant is really good at picking dates."

  Yin Liu and Yu Rong covered their mouths and giggled secretly.

  Everyone worked together and after a busy half-day, the medicinal materials were all accounted for and neatly arranged. Just in time, Wenshan returned and said that Master had come by earlier and asked him to tell you that Miss's date has been set, May 5th.

  "It's settled then, it's settled. Looks like we need to prepare a gift." Lin Lan felt a surge of joy upon hearing the news. By May, Ye Xiang'er would have been confined for half a year. Who knows if she had come around or her obsession had deepened, but as long as she gets married and leaves, she won't be able to bother Ming Yun anymore.

  Li Mingyun smiled faintly and said, "It's for the hostess, I'll go prepare it now."

  "Alright, no problem, I'll definitely send a big gift to my cousin," Lin Lan said readily.

  Yin Liu and Yu Rong let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Miss Biao was finally married off and wouldn't be bothering Second Master anymore.

  Everyone returned home happily. As soon as they entered the door, the gatekeeper reported: "Young Master, the old master asked you to go to the study room as soon as you return to the mansion."

  Li Mingyun nodded and asked him, "Has the young master returned?"

  "He came back early and is in the study room of the old master."

  Lin Lan Dao said, "Then go quickly, I'll return to Luoxia Cottage first."

  The gatekeeper said, "Second Young Mistress, Old Lady also asked you to go to Chaohui Hall."

  What's going on with so many things? The two of them looked at each other sympathetically. One took the silver willow and went straight in, while the other took Dongzi to the right and went out to the outer study room. Wenshan and Yurong looked at each other, not needing to follow them, and could only return first.

  Lin Lan went to Chao Hui Tang and happened to meet her mother coming out from inside. She asked her, "Mother, do you know why Grandmother called me here?"

  "Alas, Mother sighed before speaking: 'Originally, I wanted to invite Second Young Mistress back this afternoon.'"

  Lin Lan was startled: "What's going on?"

  "It was originally a happy event, but now it's all messed up." Zhu's mother briefly explained the situation. Lin Lan only then realized that she had not been present during the day and had missed out on a good show.

  Here is the translation:

  It happened like this: today, Liu Niang had a sudden attack of nausea while eating lunch and vomited profusely. Since Master was not at home, Cai Qiu went to find Old Lady Wu, wanting her to invite a doctor. The doctor came and took a look, saying that Liu Niang was pregnant. Upon hearing the news, Old Lady Wu fainted on the spot.

  Can the old witch not faint? Just after Yu Lian's incident, Liu Niang had a pregnancy again. If killing people were not against the law, she would have taken a kitchen knife to chop people by now.

  Lin Lan asked with concern, "How is the lady now? Is she inside?"

  Madam shook her head: "The lady is in Ninghe Hall. The old lady comforted her for half a day and came back not long ago. This family is in chaos, so the old lady called Second Young Madam over."

  Lin Lan was grinding away, calling her over to help Liu Niang protect the fetus and treat Lao Wu's headache, nothing more. She couldn't help with anything else, even if she could, she didn't want to, hoping for chaos, wanting to infuriate Lao Wu to death.

  "Well, I'll just go in and take a look."

  The mother said: "Second young lady, hurry up and go, I'll go to the kitchen to inform them, and get some light food for the old lady."

  Lin Lan thought the old lady was also frowning and sighing, but saw that the old lady's expression was unchanged, seemingly even a little happy, seeing her come, busy calling someone to show her seat.

  "I've called you over for something urgent. I wasn't at home this noon when Liu Niang suddenly felt unwell, so we invited a doctor to take a look. It turns out she's pregnant! This is indeed a joyous occasion. Our Li family has everything we need now, it's just that our household is a bit too small. Speaking of which, this is also thanks to your efforts. If you hadn't helped Liu Niang adjust her body, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant so quickly. Grandma wants to ask, has Liu Niang fully recovered from her previous illness?"

  Lin Lan was truly amazed by this old lady, even Zhu Ma had some sympathy for the old witch, but the old lady didn't mention a word about the old witch fainting, only caring about Liu Niang's belly and her great-grandson... it was really too heartless.

  Lin Lan smiled slightly: "Madam Liu's body was not seriously ill to begin with, she just had a cold womb and was weak, making it difficult for her to conceive. Now that she is pregnant, she must be better."

  The old lady obviously breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Then I can rest assured. In the future, Liu Niang's body will have to be taken care of more carefully to ensure that this child is healthy."

  Lin Lan stood up and bowed: "Sister-in-law Sun must have done her best."

  The old lady sighed with a smile: "Recently, there have been too many annoying things, and finally, I've been looking forward to something pleasant."

  Lin Lan was secretly delighted, but the old witch was about to go crazy.

  "But... Lin Lan said softly, "Sun's daughter-in-law is afraid that her mother-in-law will be unhappy."

  The old lady frowned: "She won't be able to do it. If she doesn't even have this much sense of propriety, how can she be the mistress?"

  Back at Luoxia Villa, Ming Yu had already returned.

  "What did Father call you for?"

  "What did grandma call you for?"

  The two men asked in unison. The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

  Ming Yuandao said, "Speak first."

  Yinliu poured a cup of honey water for Second Young Mistress: "Second Young Mistress, should I go set the meal?"

  "Go ahead, I'm hungry too."

  Lin Lan took a sip of water and said, "Aunt Liu is pregnant, and Grandma told me to take good care of her."

  Li Mingyu leaned back in his chair, one hand on the armrest and the other tapping out a rhythm on the table, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth as he said, "When my mother was pregnant with me, she wasn't this concerned either."

  The old lady had already heard about the various cold treatments of Mingyun's mother and son. If it weren't for Mingyun's great success now, I'm afraid the old lady wouldn't look up to Mingyun either. Besides, Li Ze's father isn't without a successor... Ah, her thinking is beyond ordinary people's understanding.

  "Estimated, this old witch will go mad again." Li Ming said calmly.

  "Not crazy, just dizzy," Lin Lan said.

  Li Mingyun raised an eyebrow and looked at her, suddenly bursting into laughter: "She's really in a precarious situation now"

  Lin Lan waved her hand: "Don't mention this for now, I have a question to ask."

  "Speak." Li Ming Yun had a listening expression, smiling slightly as he looked at her.

  "If... I mean if, what if in the future, I couldn't give birth to a son? Would he also take concubines?" Lin Lan had been wanting to ask this question for a long time, and was stimulated by Lord Pei's affair.

  Li Mingyu knew that this question couldn't be answered casually. Since Lin Lan had already started worrying about it, if he didn't help her eliminate the concern in time, she would always have a knot in her heart. Li Mingyu suppressed his smile, became serious, leaned over and held her hand, saying: "As for this matter, I think that having children or not is predestined, I won't force it. Whether we have them or not, I only wish to be with you, just the two of us, loving each other for a lifetime."

  Lin Lan didn't have much confidence and murmured, "It sounds good now, but after a long time, the feelings will fade, and we'll get older, who knows if we'll still think this way."

  Li Mingyu smiled lightly: "That's easy to handle. I'll make a written promise. If in the future I use having no children as an excuse to take a concubine, all of the Li family's property will be yours, and you can kick me out."

  Lin Lan's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Really?"

  Li Mingyan straightened up and said, "A gentleman's word is like a team of horses, impossible to catch once it has left the gate."

  Lin Lan put down her teacup, got up and ran to the study room. In a moment, she brought out paper and pen: "Then let's make a written agreement"

  Li Mingyun looked at her triumphant expression and couldn't help but have a black line on his head: "Really standing up to me..."

  "Am I being fooled?" Lin Lan pouted, looking very worried.

  "How could that be?" Li Ming hurriedly said: "I'm not kidding, if signing a letter of guarantee can put your mind at ease, I'd be happy to sign ten or eight of them."

  Lin Lan continued to pretend to be pitiful: "I'm not that I don't believe you, it's just that knowing there are too many such examples around me makes me feel very uneasy."

  Li Ming waved his sleeve and said, "I'll write it down, so I won't have to think about it randomly."

  Lin Lan was secretly rejoicing. With this evidence, she wasn't afraid that he would regret it in the future. As a woman, you mustn't be too soft-hearted. You have to keep one trick up your sleeve. If you can't hold onto a man's heart, then hold onto his assets. Once he's penniless, wouldn't it be easy to deal with him?
