Shu Yu sat down, and even before Meng Yunzheng had taken a seat, he instructed someone to fetch a cushion and place it behind her back.
Grandma Lu watched this with a puzzled expression, and then she saw Meng Yunzheng holding a cup of warm water, gently blowing on it before offering it to Shu Yu.
Grandma Lu and Ruan Shi exchanged glances, clearly confused.
"Yu, are you not feeling well?"
On the side, Fang Xiyue smiled and explained, "It's not that she's unwell; it's that she's expecting a child."
Grandma Lu widened her eyes, and Ruan Shi couldn't contain her excitement as she stood up. "Expecting? You're pregnant? How long has it been?"
Meng Yunzheng had a joyful smile on his face as he replied, "Less than two months. She found out during the journey. Originally, we planned to travel faster, but since Ah Yu is pregnant, we naturally slowed down a bit, which caused us to return a bit later."
Meng Yunzheng had wanted to take it even slower and perhaps rent a small courtyard locally, waiting until the pregnancy was more stable before returning. However, Shu Yu disagreed, and Zhao Xi, after taking Shu Yu's pulse, claimed that she was the healthiest pregnant woman he had ever seen in his many years of practice, with no issues whatsoever.
Meng Yunzheng suspected that Zhao Xi was saying this just to return to his wife and son sooner, and he had to pull Shu Yu with him, which eventually led to their arrival in Jiangyuan County just before the New Year.
Originally, they had planned to wait until the pregnancy was more stable, possibly until after three months. However, during the journey, Shu Yu's occasional reactions couldn't escape the eyes of experienced Fang Xiyue, Lin Shi, and the two Shu family ladies. As a result, everyone on the journey became aware of the pregnancy.
The members of the Lu family were ecstatic. Ah Ning ran into the room and overheard Fang Xiyue's words, so she enthusiastically exclaimed, "Second sister, let me take your pulse. Master said I've made significant progress in my medical skills."
Shu Yu extended her hand, and Ah Ning mimicked the gesture as she held her wrist. After a moment, she nodded. "Yes, indeed, it's the pregnancy pulse. Moreover, the pulse is stable and strong. Second sister, don't worry, my nephew or niece is very healthy."
Shu Yu chuckled, both touched and amused. "With your words, I can rest assured."
Ah Ning was delighted and turned to look at the baby in Fang Xiyue's arms. The child had been timid, hardly going out when they were in Zhengdao Village. However, the extensive exposure during this journey had gradually made him more outgoing.
When Ah Ning tried to carry him, the child didn't show any fear and even began babbling and chatting with her excitedly.
When the younger brother, Little Huohuo, came over, the child became even more excited.
The Lu family gathered in the main hall to chat and share stories about their journey. The events in the southwest couldn't be concealed, so Shu Yu briefly recounted their experiences in the southwestern black market.
The Lu family members were shocked to hear about the black market. "So, you knew there was a black market from the beginning?"
"We went to help, mainly thanks to Lord Qi's efforts."
Grandma Lu gave her a stern look and was about to pat her when she remembered that Shu Yu was pregnant. She suppressed her anger and simply snorted. "Always taking risks."
Shu Yu clung to her arm, coquettishly saying, "Grandmother, we take good care of ourselves, so don't worry. Moreover, now that the last black market has been eradicated, we have no worries, and we plan to stay in Dong'an Prefecture. I'll run a business, and Yunzheng will Run a school. We'll enjoy a carefree life."
Grandma Lu lightly huffed, "You just want to appease me." She turned her head and spotted Wei Qin.
