my wife is wonderful

Chapter 296 Meeting
"She's not sick, but she's not pretending to be sick. She's pregnant."

Xu Lianyang said.

Zhu Yan was stunned, because she knew the identity of the person living in the house in Jinyue Hutong.

"This is really..."

"She came to you just to take your pulse?" Geng Xingshuang asked.

Xu Lianyang shook her head. "She already knew she was pregnant. Since last year, the family hasn't asked me to come to the hospital much. They only ask me occasionally when it's inconvenient to ask other doctors. This time, after I diagnosed her, I congratulated Mrs. Wu. She was happy but not surprised. I guess she already knew about it."

"So she asked you to go... maybe she was worried that the previous doctor's diagnosis was inaccurate, so she wanted to confirm it again."

Zhu Yan guessed.

"No." Xu Lianyang shook her head. "After I checked her pulse, Mrs. Wu told me that someone might come to me in the future and ask me when her first child was born and what happened at the time, and asked me to answer truthfully. I... am a little worried. I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

In fact, Xu Lianyang didn't want to tell this matter. She sensitively realized that this matter was not simple and was worried that her two good friends would be implicated.

But when I went to attend Sister Shuang's coming-of-age ceremony the day before yesterday, Sister Shuang noticed that she looked a little unhappy. Even under such circumstances, she still took the time to quietly ask her if there was anything wrong.

She couldn't help herself and told the whole thing. Now that she had said it, she might as well tell it all today.

Zhu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Oh... I see, then Wu wants to take over."

Although Geng Xingshuang had not directly asked who the owner of the house in Jinyue Hutong was, she had already guessed it in her heart. Now, considering what happened before and after, she quickly reached out to stop Zhu Yan from blurting out, "Don't say it yet. Let me guess, is Mrs. Wu in the house in Jinyue Hutong the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Ping?"

Xu Lianyang was shocked when she heard this, but Zhu Yan looked proud of it, "I knew that Sister Shuang is the smartest! She must have guessed it a long time ago."

Geng Xingshuang waved her hand in a reserved manner, "Xinping County Lady, you are too kind. I am only a little bit smarter. It's not worth mentioning!"

"Haha!" Xu Lianyang couldn't help laughing and fell on Geng Xingshuang. She couldn't help but pinch her fair face, "Sister Shuang, why are you like this... like this..."

She concentrated on thinking of the right words to describe it, but Zhu Yan was already speaking quickly and laughing: "How shameless...haha!"

"How dare you say that Princess Lingshuang is shameless! What crime should you be punished for?" Geng Xingshuang shouted.

"I am sorry for my outspokenness, please forgive me, Lady Lingshuang!" Zhu Yan answered smoothly.

Xu Lianyang couldn't help laughing again, but Geng Xingshuang was not affected. She coughed lightly and said with difficulty: "Nian'er, this is your first offense. As long as you give... me a little tickle, I will forgive you this time!"

As Geng Xingshuang spoke, she pounced on Zhu Yan and began to tickle her.

“Hahahaha…” Zhu Yan was very ticklish. She curled up her body and trembled with laughter.

The three of them made a fuss for a while before Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan returned from Yannian Hall.

As for what Xu Lianyang was worried about, Geng Xingshuang felt that things might not have to reach that point. Even if it did reach that point, as a doctor, Xu Lianyang only needed to tell the government what happened according to the facts and not worry about anything else.

After returning, Geng Xingshuang began to draw designs for spring and summer clothes.

Although she hadn't dreamed much recently about that strange world that seemed completely different from the one she lived in, nor had she seen the colorful night scene and the people who dressed completely differently from here, she was not short of inspiration and ideas.

To outsiders, the experiences of the past six months may seem like disasters, but to her, they are not entirely bad. She has experienced things she has never experienced before, seen a world she has never seen before, and felt a different atmosphere and emotions. These have enriched her horizons and enriched her heart. Therefore, when the paintbrush wanders on the white rice paper, inspiration flows like a spring, and then blooms like fireworks under the brush and ink, and finally solidifies on the paper, becoming a beautiful landscape this spring and summer.

Geng Xingshuang was absorbed in painting until late at night. Only after Jinbao urged her several times did she put down her pen and go to sleep. She woke up the next day and continued painting after breakfast. She painted seriously for five days. After finishing the painting, she felt that she had new ideas, so she added or subtracted, and finally it became the style she wanted in her heart. After she finally put all the inspiration that had surged in her mind during this period into her pen, she looked at the pile of drawings and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, Princess Xinping came to see you, Young Master Yang Liu also came to see you, as well as the Madam, the Second Young Master, and Miss Jiang. They have all come to see you in the past few days, but you always replied that they would wait for you for a few days. Do you want to see someone now? Who should you see first?" Jin Bao asked when he saw that she finally stopped painting.

Geng Xingshuang laughed and said, "You asked as if they are all waiting for me to summon them. I have time, but they may not. For example, my second brother should still be on duty. And my sixth brother Yang, although he doesn't have to be on duty for the time being, he is often summoned by the Imperial Envoy Office of the Dali Temple or even the Ministry of Justice to inquire about matters. Sometimes it takes a whole day to inquire about a matter. How can he be free all the time?"

Jinbao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Geng Xingshuang had already said: "I'm going to pay my respects to my parents!"

When she went to the main house, Geng Wen was there too, but both of them looked a little strange. Ruan looked relaxed, but Geng Wen seemed to be troubled, with a frown on his face, pacing around the house.

Geng Xingshuang entered the room and greeted her parents first. When Ruan saw her, her face immediately brightened. "Sister Shuang, are you done with the painting?"

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Yes, Mom, Dad is..."

"Ignore him." Ruan was a little annoyed.

Geng Wen sat down and smiled at his daughter. How to describe that smile? Geng Xingshuang felt a little bit sad, a little bit reluctant, and a little bit annoyed. But among these emotions, there was a hint of...happiness. However, it was not pure happiness, but more like a sigh of relief.

In short, it's quite weird.

"I just came back from Yideyuan." Geng Wen said, "Your grandfather said that he treated me badly over the years."

"This..." Geng Xingshuang was a little embarrassed to respond.

Ruan immediately snorted, "He wants you to save Geng Shulou, so he said this reluctantly to appease you."

"Not entirely." Geng Wen waved his hands. "I can feel that he was sincere when he said this. He didn't ask me to save Dalang. He also knew my ability. How could I have the ability to save people? Besides, Dalang was involved in not an ordinary case, but the assassination of Prince Jin. Not to mention me, even those important ministers in the cabinet can't get him out of the prison. It's hard to say whether he can save his life."

Geng Wen said, sighing, "Da Lang... I really don't know what he is thinking. Since he has already arrived in the north, why doesn't he take this opportunity to get rid of the disputes in Ningdu, but instead helps King Shen."

"How do you know that he is working for Prince Shen?" Ruan glanced at Geng Wen. It wasn't that she knew anything, but she was just unhappy, so she subconsciously wanted to refute him.

"and many more!"

Geng Xingshuang listened for a while and finally understood something. She interrupted and asked, "Geng Shulou is back?"

"I'm back. I arrived in Ningdu two days ago. The government sent Uncle Liang to wait outside the city. But just when I saw him, before Uncle Liang could get close, he was taken away from the cart by the Dali Temple. There were several other people taken away with him. The others in the convoy were either taken home by their families or taken to places arranged by the Ministry of War."

Geng Xingshuang was about to ask something when she heard Jin Bao reporting from outside, "Master, Madam, the Sixth Young Master is here!"

"Please invite him in!" Ruan said hurriedly.

After a while, Yang Qingmo walked in. Today he was wearing a spring dress of sky blue, and his black hair was half tied up with a golden crown. The red-gold hair crowned his head, which did not make him look vulgar. Instead, he made people feel dignified and self-respecting.

Geng Xingshuang coughed lightly, turned her gaze away from his handsome face, stood up and bowed to him, "Sixth Brother Yang!"

Yang Qingmo smiled at her, "Sister Shuang!"

Geng Xingshuang saw his serious look and suddenly remembered the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. He gave her a gift and handed the box to her personally. He lowered his head and put his mouth as close to her ear as possible, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Shuang'er, coming of age means growing up. I will wait for you. I will be with you on your birthdays in the future, year after year... I will never let you down!"

Geng Xingshuang could no longer remember what her reaction was at that time. Did she speak or did she say nothing?

But she remembered that her face was red and hot at that moment!
