Chapter 1303: Chapter 1300 Huo Hongyan

Ye Muyu slowly ate the bird’s nest and upon hearing this, said, “Then, was the gift I sent today too modest?”

Just finding ginseng that was over a hundred years old was difficult, not to mention finding high-quality fur.

“Steward Huo personally delivered it, saying that the Old Madam mentioned that these were just common foods from the Northern Region and not worth much money, so Madam should not disdain them,” Su Mei said as she fanned beside her, replying to her.

“Even if they are local specialties, ones of high quality are quite rare,” Ye Muyu was aware that the Huo family’s reciprocal gift was also very thoughtful, which made her feel comfortable.

After all, her sending vegetables and fruits was to test whether the other party was easy to get along with.

She had also sent her housekeeper to deliver gifts to both General Li’s and General Wang’s families.

“By the way, what about the Li family and the Wang family? Any reactions?”

Su Mei gently shook her head, “They haven’t responded yet, but I heard that the housekeeper from General Li’s family seemed very anxious upon receiving the gift, as if their household was poor and worried about reciprocating.”

“General Wang’s family, on the other hand, was open to all comers.”

“Hmm, I see,” Ye Muyu finished the bird’s nest and was planning to stand up and walk around.

Then she felt her leg twitch slightly.

“Madam…” Su Mei was the first to notice something was off about her and hurriedly went to support her.

Chun Xing, being stronger, quickly carried Ye Muyu to a soft couch and propped her up, skillfully massaging her cramped leg.

It took a while for Ye Muyu to recover.

“The bigger the month, the more frequent the cramps,” Ye Muyu’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, feeling somewhat melancholic.

Chun Xing stood up straight and patted her chest, saying, “Madam, don’t worry, I’ll always stay by your side, ready to massage you when you have cramps. It will all be better once the Young Master is born.”

“Being pregnant for ten months isn’t that easy.” Ye Muyu’s belly wasn’t too big yet, since she was rather slim, but even so, the feeling of carrying a ball was uncomfortable.

“Madam, would you like to go out for a walk now? There’s no sun today, it’s cloudy, which is perfect for going out,” Su Mei knew she was just saying that as usual and wasn’t really upset.

However, as the months progressed, Doctor Lu said that it was good to walk more.

“Alright, then let’s have a stroll in the garden and check on Lil’ Jin and Chu Ziluo on the way.”

Ye Muyu stood up, leaning on Su Mei, and headed to the back courtyard.

At this moment, Huo Hongyan also had her servants gather information about the Chu family.

“Madam Chu is pregnant again?” Huo Hongyan was a bit surprised.

The maidservant Qing He nodded, “They say she’s about to give birth, so Madam Chu hasn’t been attending any gatherings in the capital, and I haven’t seen Madam Chu either. I only know that Lord Chu is afraid of his wife.”

Qing He’s expression turned odd at the last sentence, as if she found it hard to believe.

Huo Hongyan was somewhat enlightened, “Afraid of his wife? What do you mean by that?”

She was actually curious. After all, in her previous life, the only criticism of Lord Chu was his wife. Logically, Lord Chu held a high position and was deeply trusted by the Emperor, his household was orderly, he never engaged in extravagance or waste, and often worked for the benefit of the people.

As his wife, Madam Chu was the envy of all the ladies and young misses in the entire capital.

But strangely, Madam Chu seemed to be “simple-minded” and always did foolish things, leaving Lord Chu to clean up the mess.

And Madam Chu had become one of the biggest ‘stains’ in Lord Chu’s life.

That aside, why was Madam Chu pregnant again in this lifetime?

In her previous life, Lord Chu only ever had one son and one daughter.

Huo Hongyan couldn’t figure it out, but she began to feel that it was a good thing. After all, if Madam Chu was easy to get along with, it would be easier for her family to form a good relationship with the Chu family.
