Chapter 606: Chapter 606: I’ll Go for a Few Laps_1

Li Wuyu immediately became distressed, ”I’m really worried about this. The baby feels that I’m not a daughter from a good family... Master, you also know, Youbao actually has a lot of self-doubt, so much that I don’t dare to tell him.”

An Jing said, ”You have to talk about this eventually. Wasn’t it agreed that once your injury healed, he would send you back to the Capital and take the opportunity to visit your family? You’re not getting any younger, to prevent your father from marrying you off to someone else, it really is necessary for him to visit your family.”

”I know that, but I’m scared...” Li Wuyu’s face was full of worry.

An Jing said, ”Although Youbao has recently made it clear that he likes you too, you don’t need me to tell you that you can now see for yourself how deeply he cares for you. I can understand your concerns, but I still suggest that you tell him sooner rather than later.”

After a pause, An Jing continued, ”Wang Youtao has been imprisoned and won’t be released, and his crime is injuring the Prime Minister’s daughter. Without connections, the County Magistrate won’t tell Youbao, and if we don’t speak up, Youbao won’t know what charges Wang Youtao has been sentenced for.”

”But it’s different for your father, the head of all officials; his daughter has been injured, and the person who hurt her has been convicted by the government. This matter will be reported, and even if it’s reported slowly, your father will eventually find out. And your father, who dotes on you so much, will certainly send someone to bring you home if he learns of your injury, even if he can’t come to find you himself.”

”Rather than having the person who comes to fetch you reveal your identity, which would make you very passive, it’s better to take the initiative and tell Youbao yourself.” She paused, ”Deception is never good between people who love each other.”

Li Wuyu nodded, ”Master, you’re right, I will talk to Youbao about it soon.”

An Jing smiled, ”No matter when you tell Youbao, just remember not to reveal mine and your master father’s identities. If Youbao asks later on, you can say we didn’t know you were the Prime Minister’s daughter, and thought you were just a daughter from an ordinary family. If Youbao comes to ask us, we will say the same.”

Li Wuyu asked curiously, ”Then when will you and master father reveal your true identities?”

An Jing exchanged a glance with her husband before replying, ”Let nature take its course. If we can keep it secret forever, we will; there’s no reason to let Youbao and Xiao Lan become fearful of us. But if it becomes impossible to hide, we won’t insist on keeping it a secret.”

...

Once Li Wuyu returned to the town to recover from her injuries, An Jing’s days once again became about postpartum confinement, taking care of children, and being affectionate with her husband Xiao Changyi every day.

When An Jing finally completed the full four months of confinement, she was so happy she wanted to set off firecrackers!

However, with no firecrackers left at home, An Jing refrained and instead ran outside excitedly.

As An Jing didn’t say what she was doing, Xiao Changyi grabbed her and asked, ”Where are you going?”

First, An Jing got up on her tiptoes and, with one arm around Xiao Changyi’s neck, boldly planted a kiss on his lips before saying, ”I’m going out for a few laps.”

During her pregnancy, she couldn’t do vigorous exercise, and her husband also forbade her from doing it during the four months of confinement, fearing her body couldn’t handle it. Now that her confinement was over, of course, she wanted to go for a run to get her body moving.

Fortunately, she hadn’t put on much weight, otherwise she’d have to think about losing weight.

Without waiting for Xiao Changyi to respond, An Jing bolted out like a runaway horse and then started running with all her might around their courtyard.

Xiao Changyi: ”...”
