The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Faced with the old lady’s question, Zhao Xi replied calmly, ”The person is fine, but the body is severely damaged. I mentioned earlier, it’s very dangerous for a girl’s body, which hasn’t fully developed, to start becoming pregnant and giving birth. An Qing’s wife only started her period the year before last, and then became pregnant last year...”

The development wasn’t completed, and then an incident occurred, the consequences can be imagined.

Although she is fine, she needs to take good care of her health afterward and definitely won’t be able to have children for the next four or five years.

The old lady nodded upon hearing this, ”As long as she’s fine, children can come slowly. Fortunately, the Li family is reasonable, otherwise.”

The latter words were left unsaid by the old lady, if they had met with unreasonable people, upon hearing that there would be no children for four or five years, they would definitely have opinions about this wife, especially since An Qing’s wife accidentally fell and miscarried.

She said to Zhao Xi, ”You’ve worked hard, quickly go to the kitchen and have something to eat, there’s food being kept warm on the stove.”

”Okay.”

The old lady did not ask much about the matter afterward; instead, it was Madam Li who, when she came over on the third day, was still muttering about having visited that young wife from the Li family, saying her face was frightfully pale, as if shocked, and the person seemed a bit neurotic, probably greatly affected by the miscarriage.

When Madam Li visited, that young wife thought she came to laugh at her, and she yelled and screamed at her, scaring Madam Li into thinking she was going to be harmed, so she quickly left.

”That day she mocked our family’s Lanhua, saying that getting pregnant at a young age wasn’t appropriate, thinking I was just trying to save face. Now, hasn’t she received her comeuppance?”

The old lady shot her a sideways glance, ”Alright, stop relishing in others’ misfortune. The child she lost was your nephew’s too, show some kindness in your words.”

Madam Li grunted but said nothing further.

Shu Yu heard about what happened with the Li family but didn’t dwell on it. After that, Zhao Xi visited two more times, prescribed some medicine for gradual recovery, and didn’t involve himself further.

Lu’s Workshop officially started operation on the sixth day of the first month, and after Shu Yu set off some firecrackers there, she began slowly preparing for the opening of the shop in the capital.

After the Lantern Festival, she planned to head to the capital.

There weren’t many issues at home, the only major matter being Shurui’s plan to take the county exam.

Shu Yu couldn’t do much, at best, offering encouragement, advising him not to feel burdened, and most importantly, not to be nervous. There will be another chance if he doesn’t succeed this time, not to mention Meng Yunzheng already said it’s not a big issue.

Shurui was initially a bit apprehensive, but after Meng Yunzheng’s intensive tutoring before the new year, he now feels quite confident.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Shu Yu packed her bags, got on the carriage, accompanied by Zhao Xi and Little Song Le.

Little Song Le, now five years old, left the capital at the age of two, and his memories of the capital have become very vague. Going back now, he feels a bit nervous instead.

Standing at the entrance of the Lu family’s house, he held his good friend Quanquan’s hand and said, ”I will be back soon, I’ve brought money with me, I’ll buy you a gift then.”

Quanquan was reluctant to part, ”You must remember to think of me.”

”I definitely will.”

The two children started to tear up while speaking, making the others around laugh and cry.

Zhao Xi saw the time and said briskly, ”Alright, you all go home, we’re leaving now.”

This time, the Lu family didn’t see them off out of the city, just stood at the door giving a few reminders.

Zhao Xi picked up Little Song Le with one hand and got on the carriage, sitting himself on the shaft.

But who knew, at this moment, Little Huohuo, who was in Shuyou’s arms, suddenly started crying loudly.
