Wife Can't Escape

Chapter 61

Song Luan knew that there were eyes around her that Zhao Nanyu planted. There may be more than one.

She packed up the package in advance, which was full of gold and silver jewelry that could be exchanged for money. She only took a set of clothes.

Zhao Nanyu undoubtedly knew her very well. In the past two days, there were several people who she had never seen before stood in front of the courtyard gate. They were big and fierce.

Song Luan heard that Zhao Nanyu's cousin came to find her once, but was stopped outside by these men. As for herself, whenever she went out, she was followed by a tail that she couldn't throw off.

When third lady Zhao came to talk to her as usual, she asked her curiously, "What's the matter with those people guarding the courtyard gate?"

Third lady Zhao thought in mind, that they looked like prison guards. Ah Yu, even if Song Luan's unborn child was important, wasn't this too much of a fuss? No one in the house was going to hurt her? Why be so careful.

Song Luan pulled up the corner of her mouth and laughed sarcastically. "I'm not sure. I just heard him say that the situation in the capital is not constant. It's safe for more people to guard this baby."

Third lady Zhao didn't know anything about the affairs in the court. Third master Zhao was a fool again, she couldn't find out any news from him. She nodded, "I see. I thought something was wrong."

She didn't plan to stay any more. Seeing that her face was okay, she was relieved. She got up and said, "I'll go to the old lady. Now that you're pregnant, you won't have to pay any monthly greetings."

Song Luan nodded.

Not long after third lady Zhao left, grandma Lin led little Zhao into the room.

Little Zhao was wrapped up like a dumpling. As soon as he entered the house, he took off his cloak and patted the snow on it. His face was white and tender. He went to Song Luan and looked at her with dark eyes, "Mother."

Song Luan touched the top of his head and said, "Little Zhao is here."

"Yes." He leaned on her carefully, while remembering that his mother was pregnant, so he did not dare to hold her tightly, nor dare to pounce on her arms.

He opened his eyes and looked at Song Luan and asked, "How long will it take for my brother to come out?"

Song Luan held his hand in the air, then her eyes bent. "How do you know it's a brother? What if it's a sister? Wouldn't you like a sister?"

After thinking about it carefully, he replied, "I'll like it too."

In fact, he preferred the baby to be a brother, because he didn't like little girls very much. He had a girl cousin who kept on chattering. She seemed to have endless words to say to him every time. Although he had never said it, he still thought that his cousin was very annoying.

Song Luan held his face and looked at him quietly. She didn't know what else to say for a moment. After a long silence, she hugged him in her arms and kissed him on the cheek. "You will always be your mother's darling."

Little Zhao was a bit uneasy, so he hugged her neck.

***

Song Luan didn't sleep well for two days. She easily wakes up, and only had shallow sleeps, because she constantly had bloody pictures in her mind.

The snow on the eaves was melting.

When Zhao Nanyu was about to go out in the morning, Song Luan was pale when she woke up.
