Zhu Xiuyuan almost forgot about it, patted his head, and met the two people in the front hall of the main house.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My nephew has disturbed your Majesty because of his incompetence... Now I am being entertained by Your Majesty again, little old man, little old man..." the old man murmured.

The little brother knelt directly on the ground, shivering, but he still hugged his backpack tightly.

"What is this?" Zhu Xiuyuan walked over and took a look. It turned out that there were some oranges in the basket, all of which were rotten.

"Brother, these oranges are spoiled, what are you doing with them?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked curiously.

"Noble... Noble man, I don't want to throw it away. Take it back and give it to the little flower in the village to taste..." The little brother didn't dare to raise his head.

"Who is the little flower in the village?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked again.

"My lord, the little flower in the village is...is..." The little brother's face turned red.

Zhu Xiuyuan understood and asked again: "Why were you crying in front of the house just now? Who bullied you?"

"..."

At that moment, the young man told what happened to them.

It turns out that the oranges in this basket were transported from Shuzhong in the Liang Kingdom and were valuable. The younger brother put his wife's money into the basket and wanted to make a lot of money.

However, before even a single orange was sold, it was overturned by Jin Wuwei who was speeding past, and all the oranges in the basket were trampled to pieces.

My wife is gone and I can’t find a wife...

The younger brother became more and more excited as he talked and cursed those Jinwu guards on the spot.

This frightened the old man. He scolded him repeatedly and apologized to Zhu Xiuyuan...

"The Jinwu Guards who overturned your baskets indeed have something important to do. Moreover, this important matter started because of me. They were also in such a hurry to escort me to the county government office..." Zhu Xiuyuan said slowly.

"ah?"

The old man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

The little brother also opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of fear.

"You don't have to be afraid... let's do this. Since your losses are caused by me, then I will compensate you."

Zhu Xiuyuan knelt down, faced the young man, and said with a smile: "Because of me, you lost your wife, I will compensate you... one hundred taels, you take these taels, go back and marry the little girl from the village.

, live a peaceful life!"

"Thank you, noble man. Thank you, noble man..." The old man and the younger brother kowtowed in excitement.

…

Half an hour later, the martial law in the capital was lifted and the city gates were reopened.

The people who had temporarily taken refuge in the uncle's mansion in Jiangcheng went away with great gratitude.

The old man and the young man received a huge sum of one hundred taels and left the city happily.

Zhu Xiuyuan also took the opportunity to leave the house, taking only Yan Dashan with him.

"Da Shan, are you ready with all the things I asked you to buy?" Somewhere in the city, Zhu Xiuyuan opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Yan Dashan, who was acting as the coachman.

"Benefactor, everything is ready." Yan Dashan was cautious, like a thief, looking around.

The reason why Yan Dashan behaved like this was because his benefactor’s trip... was to Huamanlou!

As an "accomplice", he felt a deep sense of guilt.

"Okay, call me when you get there." Zhu Xiuyuan ordered.

"Yes, benefactor!"

The carriage bumped around in the city for a while, and they went to a certain place to pick up something, a few large bags, which were the "maternity gift bags" prepared by Zhu Xiuyuan for Kou Wanwan.

The carriage jolted for a while, then stopped, "My benefactor, we're here!"

Zhu Xiuyuan agreed and personally carried the bags of things and got out of the car.

This is the entrance to Pipa Alley, the alley that leads directly to the back door of Huamanlou.

"Wait for me here." After telling Yan Dashan, Zhu Xiuyuan picked up the package and walked into the alley.

This alley was very quiet and I didn't meet anyone along the way.

When he walked to the door, Zhu Xiuyuan took out the key, opened it, stepped in, and then closed the door.

"Master..."

"oops!"

Not only did he bump into a person as soon as he entered the door, but he was waiting here, which shocked Zhu Xiuyuan.

"It turns out to be Miss Xiaohuan, why are you here?" Zhu Xiuyuan was still frightened.

"The young lady learned that the young master was about to come, and ordered the servants to come downstairs to greet him." Xiaohuan smiled and took the initiative to take the packages.

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything and went straight upstairs.

He had already seen Kou Wanwan's methods before. It shouldn't be difficult to know in advance that he was coming...

Fourth floor.

"Master, please come this way. Miss is not in the bedroom..." Xiaohuan led Zhu Xiuyuan to another corridor.

Zhu Xiuyuan did not doubt that he was there and followed him. After walking a few steps, Xiaohuan stopped in front of a door and said with a smile: "Sir, please come in. The lady is inside."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and pushed the door open.

"ha!"

"drink!"

Swish, swish, swish...

This is an empty room, decorated like a martial arts training ground.

Kou Wanwan was wearing a red dress and was holding a sword, laughing and practicing.

As she dances, her red dress is flowing and her hair is flying, she is absolutely beautiful!

However, Zhu Xiuyuan was not in the mood to appreciate it, because he was horrified and frightened.

"Stop, stop, Miss Kou, don't you know what's going on with you now? Stop it!" Zhu Xiuyuan shouted anxiously.

"Young Master..." Kou Wanwan exclaimed, immediately stopped practicing the sword, raised her hand, raised the sword and threw it out. It pierced the air and inserted into a scabbard three feet away, with perfect accuracy.

"Young master, you are finally willing to come and see me..." Kou Wanwan ran over directly. It was not a normal running posture, but a running posture with her feet off the ground.

Approaching Zhu Xiuyuan, the corners of Kou Wanwan's mouth suddenly rose.

"oops!"

Kou Wanwan "wasn't in a hurry" and just pretended to be happy with Zhu Xiuyuan.

Warm, soft and full of flavor!

But Zhu Xiuyuan was too frightened to think about anything else.

He pinched Kou Wanwan's arms and propped them up, "Miss Kou, you...you are different now, how can you still practice sword jumping? It's too dangerous!"

Zhu Xiuyuan looked anxious and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

Kou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What did the master say? The slave family didn't understand? Why is the slave family different?"

"Girls are pregnant now and should avoid strenuous exercise. What if the fetus is hurt?",

Zhu Xiuyuan held her hand and treated her as if she was seriously ill.

"From now on, girls should not do dangerous actions such as sword practice, jumping, etc. Now, girls only need to worry about raising their babies..."

Zhu Xiuyuan supported Kou Wanwan and walked towards her bedroom.

Kou Wanwan let him support her and walked slowly, quite like a lady, "Sir, is that so?"

At this moment, Kou Wanwan's heart felt as sweet as honey.

"Well, that's it. It's best not to walk around. If you have something to do, just ask the maid to do it. How can I rest assured that you are jumping up and down like just now..." Zhu Xiuyuan said.

"Everyone in the slave family listens to the young master!" The smile on Kou Wanwan's face was too thick to disappear.

In Kou Wanwan's room.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat on a chair, and Kou Wanwan sat on his lap, cuddling close to him.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt a little unnatural, but when he saw her face full of satisfaction and seemed to be taking advantage of her, he couldn't be hard-hearted to drive her away.

Yes, Kou Wanwan is different now!

Because she is pregnant!

It is still his Zhu Xiuyuan’s flesh and blood that he is pregnant with!

The appearance of this little life changed many things and built a bridge that cannot be destroyed!

Not to mention anything else, just for the sake of that little life, Zhu Xiuyuan's tolerance for Kou Wanwan was already sky-high.

"The young master is in the court today... and has taken another step forward. It is gratifying and congratulatory. The slave family wishes that the young master will be crowned a marquis and king as soon as possible!" Kou Wanwan played with a button on his clothes.
To be continued...
