The Slender Waist-Chapter 353 - 247: Really Eating People_3

She was very calm, but the more Puyang Jiu felt her pulse, the more uneasy he became.

"Sister-in-law, have you been taking your medicine properly lately?"

Feng Yun revealed a slight smile, "I’ve followed the Medical Officer’s orders exactly."

Puyang Jiu looked skeptical, "Really?"

Feng Yun glanced at the maidservant beside her.

"Xiaoman and Daman can bear witness."

It was only then that Puyang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, you must take good care of yourself. Wangzhi is also looking forward to you bringing new branches to the Pei Family soon."

Thinking of Pei Jue’s stern face, Feng Yun smiled.

"Does the General like children?"

"I do." Puyang Jiu said with great certainty, and as he looked at Feng Yun’s radiant face, his smile faded slightly, and he was a little startled.

Had she sensed something?

She had been married to Pei Jue for a while now. Her health was compromised, and there was still no news of a pregnancy. His words, he assumed, might embarrass her, right? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Having children is a matter of fate; it will happen sooner or later."

Puyang Jiu was not very good at comforting people.

He tried his best.

The corners of Feng Yun’s lips curved slightly upward, but her expression was one of relaxation.

"Thank you, Medical Officer Puyang, I’m aware."

Puyang Jiu sighed a little.

In the past, he worried about his brother’s crotch; now, he worried about his brother’s wife’s belly. Why was being a physician in his lifetime this difficult? No wonder his father scolded him for being a disappointment...

-

Wen Xingsu had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

He walked back and forth alone, his elegant features unable to hide his anxiety.

After Puyang Jiu said his goodbyes and left, Wen Xingsu went to see Feng Yun.

"What exactly happened on Cuiyu?"

The news had not yet spread; how was it that Wen Xingsu was so well-informed?

Feng Yun was slightly surprised, "How did big brother find out?"

Wen Xingsu said, "When something happened to you on Cuiyu, the Lord of Pingyuan County immediately sent someone to inform me."

He looked at Feng Yun with concern, his brows deeply furrowed, his handsome face serious.

"As your elder brother, I failed to take care of you and let you be bullied again."

"How did you fail?" Feng Yun laughed softly, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.

"Big brother, for my sake, clashed with his own mother, severed ties with the Feng Family, became estranged from Xiao Cheng, and abandoned the Qi Country where he can never return..."

Home, country, parents, siblings. Wen Xingsu had given her his heart, stood in opposition to all the people and things from his past for her sake.

If this wasn’t considered a sacrifice, Feng Yun didn’t know what else could be.

Even Pei Jue, with whom she had been affectionately entwined before the banquet that night, stood up for her on Cuiyu against Li Sangruo. But to betray everything for her, without a second thought?

What Wen Xingsu could do, Pei Jue could not.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left in anger.

The incident at Cuiyu, she had provoked...

Under the title of General’s wife, she had placed Pei Jue on the fire, forcing him into opposition against Li Sangruo.

Pei Jue had no choice but to be involved, to support her in front of everyone, to talk tough to Li Sangruo, but deep down he didn’t want to be manipulated by her. Right after leaving Cuiyu, he left in a rage.

Of course, Feng Yun didn’t mind.

If General Pei could be so easily turned, he wouldn’t be Pei Jue.

A little progress each time was good; she was very pleased.

Seeing that she was silent, Wen Xingsu still had many questions in his heart.

"So it means Fang Fucai was taken away by the Imperial Cavalry Division, and Li Sangruo remains unharmed..."

"What is the General thinking?"

"Why did he... not even enter the threshold just now?"

He pondered to himself, "Could it be because you have always been staying at Chunmeng Hall, and this has displeased him?"

After all, Chunmeng Hall is Wen Xingsu’s residence.

Although she is already married and he wished she could live here forever, Pei Jue was bound to have his thoughts...

Feng Yun watched as her elder brother’s face showed worry, then she suddenly burst into a giggle.

"Big brother, sit closer to talk. I won’t bite."
