After Xu Shiqiu left the capital, other than visiting the Empress Hu twice in the palace, he had obediently stayed at home the entire time.

Although Xu Nuanwen had time, she did not return to the Xu Family as frequently as before. This was because during this period, she had always been hosting a banquet at home or attending a banquet at someone else's home.

The eldest son of the Fifth Prince Palace, Ye Huan, was already sixteen this year, and would be seventeen the next year.

Even if Xu Nuanwen didn't want her sons to get married early, it was already too late for him to get married at the age of sixteen.

What made Xu Nuanwen the most angry was the words that came from the Consort De s in the palace. If she and the Fifth Prince didn't pick a wife, His Majesty would intervene.

Xu Nuanwen naturally didn't want His Majesty to interfere in the marriage of her son. If it were many years ago, His Majesty might have asked the two families if they wanted to get married again.

However, when he grew older, the only way to grant marriage to them was to see if the two parties had any interests in each other.

Of course, Xu Nuanwen didn't want his eldest son's marriage to become the's Martial Arts to recruit court officials. That was why she had been busy holding and attending banquets. Her goal was to find a suitable marriage for Ye Huan as soon as possible.

When she organized the banquet, she also sent a message to Dong Shu.

But because Xu Shiqiu was not in the capital, he took care of Yuanxi and served Old Madame Xu, so he did not participate in the banquet at the Fifth Prince Palace.

From the moment Xu Shiqiu left the capital, Dong Shu had been worried. It was only at the end of September when Xu Shiqiu had people bring back a letter informing them that he was safe did Dong Shu and Old Madame Xu finally calm down.

Just on the second day after Xu Shiqiu sent someone to deliver the letter back, something big happened on the Jiang Family.

Although he was being filial, Jiang Han did not abandon his business during this period.

On this day, when Jiang Han returned from the outside, he specially bought a few pastries, thinking that Xu Yanzhu's health was not well during this period of time, he personally brought them over to her.

But unexpectedly, he took the initiative to come over and coincidentally met Xu Yanzhu's pale face, who was leaning on the bed.

”Yanzhu, what's wrong?” Seeing that Xu Yanzhu's face was pale white, and was about to vomit, Jiang Han asked worriedly. Then, he immediately ordered the butler to call a doctor.

The moment Xu Yanzhu saw Jiang Han's appearance, she felt as if all the blood in her body had been sucked out, and was so cold that she shivered.

Xu Yanzhu wanted to stop Jiang Han, but after seeing her expression, Jiang Han did not give her the chance to reject. He just stared at her, waiting for the butler to invite the doctor over.

The doctor who came quickly was one of the doctors from the medicine hall under the name of Jiang Family, and was one of the doctors who had treated Mrs. Jiang before.

Seeing that the doctor had appeared, Xu Yanzhu felt that his body was no longer able to move, and could only stiffen his body, allowing the doctor to treat him.

The moment the doctor placed her hand on her wrist, Xu Yanzhu powerlessly closed her eyes.

She knew she was finished.

The doctor's diagnosis was extremely quick, and Xu Yanzhu felt that in just a few breaths, the doctor had retracted the hand that was on her wrist. The fetus is still a few days away from two months, and it was only because the young madam had been overworked and was also a little depressed that she reacted so severely. ”

The doctor's tone was filled with joy. After all, Jiang Han was not young anymore, he was pregnant at the beginning of August. Although the lady was still sick, she was not in her filial life.

He could still guarantee it.

Only, the doctor did not see that the moment he said that Xu Yanzhu was pregnant, Jiang Han's face quickly turned gloomy.

Although Jiang Han quickly put away the gloominess, he still noticed it.

No one knew better than the two of them that even though they had been married for a year, they had never been husband and wife.

This child was not Jiang Han's.

”Do you need to prescribe a pregnancy pill?” Jiang Han spoke indifferently, his tone completely devoid of joy.

The doctor, hearing his voice, thought that he was afraid that the child had come near mourning, and was afraid that he would not be able to explain himself.

Thinking of this, the doctor replied, ”The young madam was originally well, but she has been feeling unwell for some time now. I'll prescribe a few birth control medicines. The young madam should eat them first, and come back in a few days.” With that said, the doctor lowered his head and carried the medicine box out.

Seeing that the doctor had left, Xu Yanzhu finally mustered her courage and said to Cui Hua and the other two: ”You three can leave first.”
