Chapter 243 Pregnancy
After looking at the house, Shen Qingshu personally escorted Qin Xiaoning back to the Zhao family. After getting off the car, Shen Qingshu said to her, "If you like the house, I can help you with the money."

Before Qin Xiaoning could answer, Zhao Yuan interrupted and asked, "May I ask how much is Lord Shen's monthly salary?"

In terms of financial resources, Shen Qingshu, an honest official who had just entered the officialdom, naturally did not have as much financial resources as the Zhao family.

Shen Qingshu smiled faintly upon hearing this, and said coldly: "Although Shen's salary is not much, it is also earned by my own ability. I want to ask Mr. Zhao, can you help Ah Ning by yourself without relying on your parents?"

The two have been fighting openly and secretly for a whole day, and now they seem to be on the verge of a falling out.

Seeing Zhao Yuan's face darken after being scolded by Shen Qingshu, Qin Xiaoning hurried over to smooth things over: "That house is indeed nice, and it is worth three hundred taels of silver. Although I don't have that much money at the moment, I can think of a way myself."

Shen Qingshu glanced at Zhao Yuan beside him, then said gently to Qin Xiaoning: "Let's talk about this another day."

Before Shen Qingshu left, Zhao Yuan came over and urged Qin Xiaoning, "It's getting dark, Miss Qin, let's go home first."

He pronounced the word "go home" very clearly, and while saying it, he glanced at Shen Qingshu provocatively.

Qin Xiaoning was helpless. After entering the mansion, she said to Zhao Yuan in front of Juxian: "Mr. Zhao, you have always been gentle, why are you so weird to Mr. Shen today?"

Seeing Zhao Yuan trying to defend himself, she said resolutely: "I came to Qianzhou just to live a peaceful life. I don't think about other things."

After saying that, she didn't listen to Zhao Yuan, turned around and took Song Zhi back to the yard.

Zhao Yuan stood there in a daze until he could no longer see Qin Xiaoning. Juxian stood aside with a wooden face and hummed, "I've made it clear what I want to say, but you still won't give up?"

Back in the house, Qin Xiaoning asked Songzhi to bring all the silver over. The master and servant counted it carefully and found that there were exactly one hundred and ninety taels.

If you want to buy that house, you still need more than one hundred taels.

"That house is nice, but it's too expensive." Songzhi was worried: "I think we should just forget it and buy a cheaper one."

Qin Xiaoning collected the money and said, "Just buy that one. Although it's expensive, the house is really good. It's big enough and the location is good."

Songzhi hesitated: "The silver"

Qin Xiaoning said, "I have signed a contract with Ji Ya Pavilion. Tomorrow, you can send the few pieces of calligraphy I wrote a few days ago to Boss Cai. I will write two more for him and ask him if he can pay me 100 taels of silver in one lump sum."

After walking around for half a day, Qin Xiaoning was tired. After explaining everything to Song Zhi, she lay down on the bed and took a nap.

Songzhi turned around and went outside to organize things. While she was busy, Mrs. Wang came in with a large bowl of fresh grapes. Songzhi took it and said with a smile, "Grapes haven't come out yet in this season. Where did you get them, sister?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and replied, "I didn't get it. Our young master gave it to Miss Qin."

As she spoke, she pointed outside and said, "The master is in the yard. I heard that Miss Qin is asleep, so he doesn't want to disturb her. He said he would talk to her after she wakes up."

Why are these men like this? When they see her daughter Aning, they are like mosquitoes seeing blood and stick to her all the time.

Less than an hour after leaving, he caught up with us again.

Songzhi was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it in front of Mrs. Wang. She just said, "A Ning is tired and hasn't been feeling well lately. Let her sleep for a while." Then she glanced at Zhao Yuan who was waiting outside and said, "We just separated from Mr. Zhao. What urgent matter could your Mr. Zhao have to come to look for A Ning?"

Mrs. Wang heard the slight displeasure in Songzhi's words, and pulled her aside and said, "Miss, you don't know, our young master is very reserved."

I'm just so reserved, but I can't stop clinging to people.

After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Songzhi laughed dryly twice.

Mrs. Wang also realized the loophole in her words, so she smiled and made up for it: "What I mean is that our young master is already an adult, and there are always girls outside who are interested in him. If it were an ordinary man, he would have been unable to keep his composure long ago. But our young master has always been calm and never does anything rash." "Oh." Songzhi replied faintly.

Qin Xiaoning slept very soundly. When she opened her eyes, she was already in the western border of Wujin.

Knowing that Zhao Yuan had been waiting outside, Qin Xiaoning quickly packed up and left the house.

As the sun sets, the little woman in a crimson dress walks slowly towards him in the afterglow of the setting sun.

As beautiful as a fairy in a painting.

Zhao Yuan had been sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard waiting for an hour. During this hour, he thought a lot, but the moment he saw Qin Xiaoning, he had made up his mind.

"Miss Qin." Zhao Yuan stood up from the stone bench, stood there, and called to Qin Xiaoning.

Qin Xiaoning walked up to him. Because she had just woken up, there was still a hint of laziness in the little woman's eyes, which added to her charm. She stood there gracefully, making Zhao Yuan feel his breath stop.

"Master Zhao, are you in a hurry to find me for something?"

It was not until she spoke in a cold voice that Zhao Yuan came back to his senses.

He nodded at her hesitantly, and Qin Xiaoning asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sit down first." Zhao Yuan said.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Yuan spoke: "Miss Qin, I don't want you to go out and live alone. I still want to persuade you to stay."

As soon as he said this, Qin Xiaoning resolutely replied: "I know what Mr. Zhao wants, but Ah Ning cannot agree to it."

She had silently hinted to Zhao Yuan several times. He was a smart man, and Qin Xiaoning didn't believe that he didn't understand. Now seeing that he was still obsessed, Qin Xiaoning simply made it clear.

"The Zhao family in Qianzhou is a family of medicine. As the only son in the family, Mr. Zhao should be aware of the burden on his shoulders. I know how you feel about me, but I have already made it clear that I am an orphan."

Before Qin Xiaoning could finish her words, Zhao Yuan interrupted and said, "So what if I'm an orphan? I don't care about these things, and my parents won't care about these things either."

Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly: "I am not only an orphan, I have also been a concubine."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Yuan fell silent, and his originally clear eyes dimmed a little.

She continued, "To be honest, although I am the concubine of that noble young master, he has always doted on me, and I am deeply in love with him."

Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Since you are in love, why did he force you away so cruelly?"

Qin Xiaoning said: "He didn't force me to leave, but I wanted to leave on my own."

Zhao Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xiaoning, his tone was full of excitement: "If he really treats you well and can take good care of you, why would you leave?"

"I don't believe he really loves you." Zhao Yuan concluded firmly.

How could others understand what happened between her and Lu Ji?

Qin Xiaoning didn't want to say more, so she just said, "Anyway, I won't accept another man. Mr. Zhao, please take back your feelings for me."

After that, she stood up and left. Zhao Yuan said anxiously: "Do you know that you are pregnant?"
