Mrs Xiao was stunned, she raised her head and looked at her suspiciously, ”What's wrong with this medicine?” ”Dong mama.”

Dong mama slowly withdrew the medicine and said, ”Madam, this medicine seems a little cold. We'll have to wait a bit before drinking it.”

”What did I think it was? It's not cold, it's just right for that.” As she spoke, the Xiao family raised their heads and drank the thick and black medicinal liquid.

Senior Servant Dong handed one of the candied fruits to her, but Madame Xiao covered her mouth to finish it, then handed her hand over. ”Let me see, my pulse isn't the best time to get pregnant right now.”

”Yes.” Dong mama lowered her head and placed her hand on Lady Xiao's wrist. After a while, her finger lightly twitched and she asked, ”Madam, you've been drinking medicine for a month, right?”

”Almost a month and a half. How about it?” The Xiao family's old patriarch nervously asked.

Recently, she'd gone to Auntie Ling's place to oppress her, so she didn't dare say anything. But after a while, she was afraid of attracting gossip.

”Now is a good time to conceive, but can we succeed …”

”It will definitely succeed. I believe in this saying. If a man wins against the heavens, then I won't believe it even if I die without a son.” Madame Xiao cut off Dong mama's words, saying that she couldn't care less about anything since she was anxious to beg for her son.

”Then... Madam will try it again. ”

At Fu'an Institution, Lian Ruyue came to the First Madam for her usual meal. It was another table full of Lian Ruoyue's and Lian Fu's favorite meals.

”Speaking of which, it has been some time since Yi'er came to my place with you. Every time she comes, she just leaves in a hurry. She doesn't even have time for me to ask her a few more questions.” The two of them sat at the table and ate. However, the place where Lian Fu sat was empty.

”Mother, now that he is old and has a world of his own, he naturally won't stick to both of us like he used to.” Lian Ruyue ate a piece of sweet duck and her mother did not know that she had learned the art, so this was the only way to comfort her.

”Yue-er is right, I've grown up, but I'm still a girl. I'm old now, and I have my own matters to take care of. In another year or two, I'll have to marry and have my own children.” The first wife sighed with heartfelt emotion.

”Yeah, if there's a suitable girl in the family now, I can help her take care of it.” Even Ru Yue could not help but sigh. She remembered that it had been almost a year since her rebirth, when Gu'er had broken into her world like a gust of wind in the residence of the sea beasts.

”I don't have any other requests for Yi'er. It's not that I want him to become outstanding, nor do I want him to be like your father and be an outstanding official. As long as he can live a peaceful life, he'll be fine.”

”But, our tricks might not be as simple as mother thinks.” Lian Ruyue said.

The First Wife sighed, thinking back to the past and how she had said, ”Fine, everything has its limits, I can't force anything.”

”Oh, right. Mother, do you have any greetings from Aunt Ling these days?” Lian Ruyue asked.

”Previously, when I came every day, I didn't come for the past two days. However, I also sent my wife over, saying that she wasn't feeling very well. I instructed that Guo mama to send for Doctor Lu to have a look.” The first lady was still satisfied with Auntie Ling for the time being. Although she was doted on, she didn't flatter her. This was the benefit of a small family.

Lian Ru Yue revealed a faint smile. ”Mother, father likes her. You should send more things over to her.”

The mother and daughter finished their meal and spoke a few more words before the first wife took her afternoon nap. Lian Xiyue watched as she slept before leaving Fuan Courtyard.

After leaving Fuan Courtyard.

Lian Ruyue looked at the sky and asked, ”Qingdai, what time is it now?”
