Chapter 36: Shen Wanyan is pregnant
Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er lived in the Prince's Mansion for a while, and then they planned to leave, even though Shen Qingyan tried to stay, the two still decided to go back to the original pastry shop to live. First, the two of them are used to living there, and the two of them enjoy such a busy but comfortable day very much, and secondly, Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er also hope to leave more private space for Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan, especially Fang Lan'er, after knowing Shen Qingyan's mental obstacles, she hopes to let Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan be alone more.
"Dad, mother, you can stay here, so that Xiao Yan can see you every day, and I can do my filial piety." Shen frowned, and grabbed Fang Lan'er's sleeve very reluctantly, like a child who was about to go to the school and leave his parents.
"Well, if you want to see your mother go to the pastry shop in the future, it's only one street away, and it's not far." Fang Lan'er smiled and patted Shen Qingyan's head, full of love. She must not come to the prince's mansion often, in case her identity is exposed, she will be killed. She and Shen Minglie have been hiding for so many years, nothing more than a peace of mind, as well as the safety of their daughter.
"Okay." Shen Qingyan reluctantly let go of Fang Lan'er's sleeves and pouted.
"It's only one street away, a few steps away, and it's no different from living in the house, just listen to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't be unhappy." Yin Qi funnily pinched Shen Qingyan's face.
Shen Qingyan wrinkled his nose and grimaced at Yin Qi.
Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er looked at the flirting two, shook their heads helplessly, and felt more and more that it was the right choice for them to go back to live, and said goodbye to Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan, and left over the wall in a blink of an eye. There must be eyeliner outside, so they can't leave the gate in a bright way, they can only climb over the wall.
On the other side, the Four Princes' Mansion, Shen Wanyan just got up from the couch, rubbed her head that was still a little dizzy, and felt that her head was very heavy, I don't know if she was infected with the wind and cold recently, she became more and more sleepy, and her body became heavier. Shen Wanyan wasn't worried about what Yin Yuan would say about her, because Yin Yuan didn't know anything about her situation at all.
Shen Wanyan looked at the empty bed, sighed, and smiled bitterly, it will always be like this, Yin Yuan will not stay in her bed for a moment more than doing that, in her impression, after marrying Yin Yuan for so long, Yin Yuan's face can be seen when she opens her eyes one morning. However, so what, the days are still the same, Shen Wanyan has become numb to this boring and bitter day, every day is just to take a breath and live, no matter how it is to live.
"Dress me up." Shen Wanyan got up from the couch lazily, her voice was not loud or small, she knew that there was already a maid waiting outside the door.
The maid outside the door heard Shen Wanyan's order, so she opened the door, took the washing water and toiletries, put the things one by one, and waited for Shen Wanyan to freshen up.
Shen Wanyan washed her face expressionlessly, since she taught Lianzi a lesson last time and drove him out of the Four Princes' Mansion, the entire Prince's Mansion has seen Shen Wanyan's power, and they also understand that even if Shen Wanyan is not treated by Yin, it is definitely not at the mercy of their subordinates, so they serve respectfully, not daring to slack off.
Shen Wanyan picked up the prepared mouthwash and rinsed it in her mouth, the sweet floral fragrance filled her mouth, causing Shen Wanyan to frown in disgust, and even a little nauseated.
"Don't make your mouthwash so sweet in the future." Shen Wanyan spit out the mouthwash and commanded lightly.
"Yes." The maid bowed respectfully in agreement.
After freshening up, Shen Wanyan sat in front of the bronze mirror, and the maid stood behind her to comb her hair. Shen Wanyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, suddenly felt a little sad, stretched out her onion-like jade hand and stroked the angular jaw that almost cut people, these days of marrying to the Four Princes' Mansion, Shen Wanyan's already slender figure has lost a lot of weight, and the shape of the bones can be seen through the delicate skin, and she is a little panicked when she sleeps on the couch at night. The skin doesn't seem to be as hydrated as it used to be, and the eyelids are very noticeable circles. Shen Wanyan sighed while looking at herself, but soon returned to her expressionless appearance, picked up the fat powder on the table, and gently smeared it on her face.
Shen Wanyan sat down at the table, and the maid set up the breakfast one by one, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and put the porridge for Shen Wanyan to eat.
Shen Wanyan picked up the chopsticks, and she didn't have much appetite, but she still planned to eat less, after all, even if no one cared, she had to take care of her body in order to have the capital to think about the future.
The staple food on the table is shrimp dumplings, the thin dumpling skin is crystal clear, you can almost see the yellow-orange shrimp in the skin, next to a few relatively light side dishes, home-style tofu, vegetarian fried celery and grouper lips, and two plates of delicate small pastries, chestnut crisp and hawthorn cake, and the porridge in the bowl is sweet potato porridge.
Shen Wanyan picked up a shrimp dumpling, she used to be the most favorite shrimp dumpling, bite it gently, the shrimp is very delicate and elastic, very chewy, with a fresh and tender soup, however, when it came to Shen Wanyan's mouth, the tender shrimp juice was only left with a fishy smell, Shen Wanyan frowned, spit a small mouthful of shrimp dumplings in her mouth on the handkerchief handed over by the maid, and scooped up a spoonful of porridge that was still steaming, and held it in her mouth, the sweet potato was not very sweet, not too strong in taste, the taste was very dense, and it was held in the mouth for a while. Finally suppressed the smell of shrimp.
"What's going on in the kitchen today, the shrimp haven't been cleaned up, and they still smell fishy." Shen Wanyan swallowed the porridge and frowned fiercely.
"The slave is guilty." The maid hurriedly knelt down, and after getting Shen Wanyan's consent, she stood up again and served Shen Wanyan for dinner, but she was a little slanderous in her heart, obviously the fourth prince praised this shrimp dumpling when he was eating, how could he get to Shen Wanyan Here is so much trouble, and secretly scolded this woman in her heart for being too hypocritical.
Shen Wanyan reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, and she was very tired of eating breakfast. Because of the shadow left by the shrimp dumplings, Shen Wanyan didn't even look at the grouper lips anymore, and the rest of the home-cooked tofu and vegetarian fried celery were just flipped over casually and didn't eat a bite.
"Ugh." Shen Wanyan sighed impatiently, planning to eat some pastries to fill her stomach, just picked up a piece of chestnut crisp, and just put it to her lips, the sweet and greasy aroma came to her nose, causing Shen Wanyan to flood with sour water from her stomach to the top. Shen Wanyan put the chestnut cake back on the plate, picked up the hawthorn cake on the side, put it in her mouth and took a bite, the sour taste of hawthorn was very satisfying to her, the very sour taste only brought a little sweetness, and the sour taste cured the discomfort in her stomach very well.
Shen Wanyan finally found an appetizing dish, and when she felt full, she found that a plate of hawthorn cake was eaten by her and blinked in surprise, she has never liked sour, and small pastries are something that only naughty children like, it turns out that only Shen Qingyan likes to eat in Shen Mansion, she almost doesn't touch it much, how can it be so abnormal today.
In a trance, all the abnormalities this morning were strung together into a line in Shen Wanyan's mind, and a thought suddenly came to mind, Shen Wanyan put down the chopsticks with some trembling, sent the maid down, and sat at the table in a daze.
Shen Wanyan was so surprised that she didn't even blink her eyes, stretched out her trembling hand and slowly pressed it against her flat and even somewhat sunken lower abdomen, she couldn't believe that there might be a fresh life in her abdomen at this time that was growing up little by little.
A tear fell on the table, waking up the stunned Shen Wanyan. Shen Wanyan hurriedly wiped the tears with her sleeves, pinched her fingers and counted the days, her dehydration had been postponed for a while, so that she was more sure that she was really pregnant. Shen Wanyan quietly pinched her clothes, leaving a few scratches on the flat satin, she couldn't tell what emotions she was in her heart, there was the nervousness of being a new mother, the fear that Yin Yuan didn't want to keep the child, and the sadness that her unfavored side Fujin couldn't give the child a good future, but more importantly, it was the joy and expectation that this little life was coming, and this joy and expectation suppressed all the negative emotions. The so-called woman is weak, but the mother is strong. Shen Wanyan exhaled, no matter what, she had to keep this child, give birth to him, raise him as an adult, so that he could see the world with his own eyes, even if she had everything she had, even if she had to lose everything she had now, she would have to protect her child.
The maid walked to the kitchen with the leftover breakfast eaten by Shen Wanyan, intending to pour the leftovers into the swill bucket, although these leftovers had not been touched at all, and kept complaining about Shen Wanyan's waste in her heart, such a good meal, they didn't even have the qualifications to eat it, so they let her throw it away.
The maid was sighing, and she saw Yin Yuan coming towards her, and hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.
"Get up." Yin Yuan glanced at the maid lightly and was about to leave, but he caught a glimpse of a few dishes in the tray that had not been touched at all, and frowned without a trace.
"This is Side Fujin's breakfast?"
"Yes."
Yin Yuan's brows furrowed even deeper, where were there traces of passivity in this breakfast, except for an empty plate.
"What was that saucer?"
"Hawthorn cake."
"She ate a plate of hawthorn cake on an empty stomach so early in the morning?" Yin Yuan laughed angrily, she didn't eat anything serious in the morning, and she ate a plate of such a sour thing on an empty stomach, is this woman planning to use a stomach ache to exchange for her sympathy.
"Fang Fujin said that today's shrimp dumplings have a fishy smell, and the rest of the dishes are not interested, it seems that he only likes the hawthorn cake a little, so he ate more." The maid lowered her eyes and told Yin Yuan about the situation just now.
"Do shrimp dumplings smell fishy?" Yin Yuan squinted his eyes when he heard this, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, so he ignored the maid and walked to the bedroom.
