Forcing me to become a concubine? Remarrying the Ninth Prince, she'll be pregnant all over the

Lin Wantang was quick and efficient; she went into the kitchen and found a small pot.

After washing them, I poured in some water, asked the cook to find some white sugar, and Chunhen and Qiuying cut some hawthorns and red dates. I also prepared some fresh milk.

Add each ingredient one by one, stir, and then simmer over low heat on the stove.

Soon the aroma of milk filled the air. As soon as it boiled, it was taken out and poured into a clean bowl to stand.

Lin Wantang took a few more eggs, only the egg whites, and cracked them into another bowl to stir. With her smooth and flowing movements, the confused thoughts in her mind gradually settled down.

Mother……

Lin Yasong's identity and her life story are by no means ordinary secrets. No wonder Lin Rucong has endured for so many years. Now, no matter how much he hates her, he has no choice but to spare Chen's life. It will be useful for him in the future when he is just playing along.

Last night, Wei Wujiu was not a talkative person. He was taciturn, cold-blooded, and had little connection with his family. He had also lost both his parents. He was always decisive and ruthless, cruel to others and even more so to himself.

But last night, after hearing about Lin Yasong's past, he accompanied her to the ancestral hall to pay respects and said so much, which was unusual for him. His purpose was obvious: he felt sorry for her and wanted to comfort her.

Lin Wantang wasn't stupid. Thinking about all this, she continued stirring with her hands, but something seemed to touch her heart, something gentle, soft, and comforting that made her smiling eyes soften and become more charming.

"Miss, please leave these tasks to me."

Chunhen stepped forward to take over, but Lin Wantang glanced at the bowl being stirred and said, "It's done. Bring over the bowl that holds the milk."

She used chopsticks to remove the skin from the milk in the bowl, then slowly poured in the egg mixture. While stirring, she put it back on the stove and steamed the mixed milk for a while. As the water boiled, a delicious aroma of milk and eggs wafted out.

Spring Trace and Autumn Shadow looked at each other, their eyes lighting up with delight.

"It smells so good! Miss, you have such excellent cooking skills!"

"What's this dish called, miss?"

As the two asked, they also took down the large bowl, placed it on a plate, and when Lin Wantang took it, she laughed and said, "I don't know either. I was just thinking about it randomly. I haven't named it yet."

As she spoke, she carried the dish into the room and placed it on the table. She first poked at it with a pair of silver chopsticks. "It's ready, Commander. This dish is a bit sweet, but the taste is excellent. Why don't you try it?"

She scooped out a small bowlful with a spoon, poured the previously prepared jam on top, and handed it to Wei Wujiu.

Looking at the tempting color, rich aroma, and sweet taste of the food, Wei Wujiu's brows furrowed slightly. He vaguely sensed that Lin Wantang had discovered his sweet tooth.

He smiled faintly, took the spoon with one hand, and slowly put it into his mouth. Sure enough, it was excellent.

"It's good, delicious."

He also gave it full praise.

Lin Wantang raised her eyebrows and smiled. She took another small bowl, filled it with some food for herself, and sat down at a table to eat slowly. She ate a few dishes along with the other dishes. Lin Wantang didn't have a good appetite and ate very little, so she served him the dishes one by one.

Wei Wujiu ate with elegance, his every move exuding a natural ease and deliberation.

Seeing that he had almost finished, Lin Wantang handed him a teacup and a towel that had been prepared to the side, all the while secretly watching him with a smile, her eyes filled with appreciation and delight...

After spending some time together, the two went from suspicion and testing each other to basic trust and even forming a united front to work together. So, can they also work together wholeheartedly and without distraction in the future?

"What?" Wei Wujiu put down his teacup, not quite understanding her gaze.

Lin Wantang smiled without saying a word, and then took his slender and elegant hand across the table. Their fingers slowly intertwined. She had made the right decision to choose him when she broke off the engagement.

"It's nothing, Commander." Lin Wantang glanced at the deep look in her eyes, still smiling as she held his hand tightly. "Dealing with the Chen family has also resolved a major doubt in my mind, but we still have two enemies left. What should we do from now on?"

Wei Wujiu didn't rush to say anything, but lowered his eyes to look at the hand she was holding.

It is very small, very white, and very soft.

Like a cat's paw, it was as if it had grasped his heart and soul, even though it was just holding his hand, it felt like it had scratched into his very soul, causing a slight ripple to spread through the dead silence of his body.

His Adam's apple bobbed, his gaze shifting away, darkening, but after a moment he tightened his grip on her hand. "What do you want?"

"Me?" Lin Wantang didn't expect him to push the question back to her. She frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty, so if I get involved with Shen Huai'an, I'm afraid I won't dare to offer any advice."

"That's alright, I can tell you about the trivial matters of the court in detail later," Wei Wujiu said frankly, dispelling her concerns.

Lin Wantang laughed: "That's a story for another time. The political situation in the court is turbulent. How can I take my time to understand and then plan? Commander, please stop teasing me. Let's stick to the original rules."

Wei Wujiu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Hmm?"

"I'll deal with Lin Qinglian." Lin Wantang was frank and straightforward, but her playful fingers curled and scratched his warm palm: "The governor should deal with Shen Huai'an."

With a carefree and unrestrained demeanor, her behavior was by no means frivolous; on the contrary, she was quirky and exceptionally endearing.

Wei Wujiu couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Trying to negotiate with me now? How rude."

The tone was soothing and gentle, without a trace of blame.

Lin Wantang smiled radiantly: "The Governor dotes on you, please forgive him."

Wei Wujiu glanced at her, said nothing more, drank a few more sips of tea, then straightened his robes and stood up. "Grand Tutor didn't sleep a wink last night, and the memorial he wrote should have been presented to the Emperor. News from the palace will be coming soon. What are your plans?"

Lin Wantang also got up, glanced at the sun outside, and said, "At this hour, my father is probably still awake. I'll go over and pay my respects, and then go back to my quarters to prepare for my wedding."

After a pause, she thought that even if not everyone in the palace knew about the trouble caused by Chen, it would inevitably involve Lin Qinglian, and she wondered what kind of trouble they might cause next.

Lin Wantang's smile faded slightly, and she continued, "The Commander-in-Chief can rest assured, I am not a fool. I would never attempt to fight a losing battle without careful planning. No matter what the Crown Princess does, I will temporarily avoid confrontation."

In other words, it means choosing to endure for the time being.

Without Chen's help, Lin Qinglian will inevitably be isolated and helpless. Relying on her pregnancy, she will definitely try to rescue Chen and punish Lin Wantang in the process.

Why should she confront him head-on? She could simply use the excuse of being a bridegroom to refuse to see guests or enter the palace. No matter how cunning Lin Qinglian was, or how arrogant she was, what could she do to her?

Wei Wujiu was satisfied with her idea, casually hummed in agreement, and then called Chunhen Qiuying in to serve him. After tidying up his robes, he stepped out gracefully.

As usual, Lin Wantang first went to pay her respects to Lin Rucong. After a long talk last night, the father and daughter had nothing more to discuss. Lin Rucong pulled her aside and gave her some more detailed instructions, finally saying, "Go on, don't keep Lord Wei waiting."
