Chapter 229
After learning that she was pregnant, Xie Wan Ning became more careful and never went out unless necessary.
She was worried that the days of displacement would have an impact on her, so she took several pills to preserve her pregnancy, even though she didn't feel any discomfort.
Life is simple and leisurely.
Chen Xier would come to talk to her every day, bring her cakes and vegetables grown by her mother-in-law.
The Li family also raised a dozen chickens, and from time to time they would collect some eggs and send them over.
Xie Wan Ning knew how to deal with human relationships. She had learned housekeeping from Zheng for several years, and she would give gifts to all her friends and relatives, both near and far, during every festival.
For closer relatives, we would send them a basket of whatever seasonal fruits the farm produced.
But since she was from a high-class family, the holiday gifts were written in a book, and she just took a look at it. She had never experienced such a "down-to-earth" life among ordinary neighbors, walking through the streets and alleys, so it was very new to her.
In Chen Xier's words, she was like a phoenix that fell into a mountain nest and she found it quite interesting.
When saying this, there was some envy in Chen Xier's eyes.
Only a noble lady who has never suffered and grew up in a honey pot can have the courage to abandon her noble status and return to the countryside.
No matter how cold and murderous Lu Ziyan was, that was only in front of others.
Although she had not seen much of their interactions, Chen Xier knew that the God of Death would probably not even be willing to say a single harsh word to her cousin.
Even if he was just an ordinary mortal with some money, he would still buy a maid to serve him...but the King of Zhenbei, who was in a high position and held great power, never touched other women even after he was given aphrodisiac.
Her cousin was even married at that time.
The most important thing is, if she follows the God of Death, once he ascends the throne, her cousin will be the empress for sure, and the child in her belly will be the eldest son or daughter of the emperor.
Now they can only follow their mother into the countryside, where they can be bullied by others. Xie Wan Ning was drinking a cup of milk, and when she looked up, she saw her cousin looking at her with an indescribable look, and she said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"..." Chen Xier was silent for a moment, her eyes followed her delicate face to her belly which was not yet visible, and she whispered, "I heard something today."
"What's the matter?" Xie Wan Ning didn't take it seriously at first, but after seeing her expression, he straightened his face and asked, "What happened?"
"Our Khan has a crown prince, that is..." Chen Xier raised her chin and said, "That is your child's father."
Xie Wan Ning was startled for a moment, then took a sip of milk as if nothing had happened, and then said, "I thought it was something else."
This is not surprising at all.
Lu Ziyan was an emperor in his previous life, so in this life, as long as he wanted, the throne would be as easy as taking something out of his pocket.
So, what we heard a while ago about vomiting blood, coma, serious injuries and dying were all fake.
Without her, he could concentrate on becoming emperor and conquering the world.
"There is one more thing, but it's a happy thing." Chen Xier touched her belly and smiled, "I'm pregnant too."
"Really?" Xie Wan Ning's eyes lit up.
Chen Xier smiled and nodded, "It's been more than a month. The diagnosis was just made this morning. Originally, it could only be announced to the public after three months, but Sister is not an outsider."
During this period, the relationship between the two sisters has indeed become deeper.
Neither of them had any relatives to protect them, and in Bianzhou City, they were each other's only blood relatives.
There will be another chapter later, about the new book. The author has already published the new book. This book cannot be finished for the time being, and the plot has not been completed yet. Don't worry.
