Wife, Please Stop Running Away!

036 : Who Farted? Not Me!

Who knows a day will come when Jade Lin Couryard's main master would voluntarily go out from his cave to 'socialize' with people. To socialize in a sense that people will have no choice but to notice his presence. Since day one, Lin Mian Mian did nothing aside from hiding inside his hole. So what made him change his mind and 'go out'?

Lin Mian Mian is already the topic of the town, and this event created more speculations. Everyone knows that Lin Mian Mian had become the emperor's current favorite. Now that the month is up, maybe the reason why Lin Mian Mian decided to go out and 'interact' with people is that he already lost favor? Without the backing of His Highness, Lin Mian Mian is just one of the 'wives'.

But this does not coincide with the real authority Lin Mian Mian holds. He is the son of the empire's greatest general, his position must be above than the women inside the harem. Also, he seems to get the favor of the Empress Dowager so his falling out is almost impossible. Who cares if the Yan Emperor no longer likes him now? If you think about it, a month had just gone by.

Maybe he will become a 'favorite' again when the emperor returns.

These rumors went pass the ears of the maids on the neighboring courtyards, pass to the serving servants, and pass to those people who were allowed entrance to the palace. The officials that like to gossip during their free time would also secretly discuss the topic, wondering where will the tides bring them. This discussion then was opened to the official's family to know their opinions, until the word of the mouth reached the walls of the empire.

On the other hand, the topic of gossip is experiencing another level of nausea. Lin Mian Mian has been suffering on his daily morning sickness and is often found curled up on the sink. Lu Mao is always on his side to help him elevate the discomfort while handing him some towels to wipe his mouth clean.

It has been two weeks since the physician's diagnosis. The symptoms of pregnancy are becoming more evident.

Just today, aside from usual nausea, Lin Mian Mian suddenly felt his chest aching. Specifically, his nipples became swollen. It wasn't the pain that people experienced when they get wounded, but the feeling like something is getting 'stuffed' or 'refilled'. According to the maids' assessment, Lin Mian Mian started to lactate. They only needed to wait for a few more days for discharge to come out.

Lu Mao noticed his master's discomfort. He took the used towel from Lin Mian Mian's hand and exchanged it with a warm cup of water. He also opened the box where the scented pouch was placed and let his master inhale it. Lin Mian Mian can feel his body calming down.

"Master Lin, how about taking some rest for now?" Lu Mao asked.

For the past two weeks, Lin Mian Mian did not idle around. Since the day he found out that he is pregnant, he has been working hard to get noticed by people. Every day, Lin Mian Mian will go out from his courtyard just to visit some people, the Empress Dowager, some of the close officials, and the women of the harem. With the fatigue that he is experiencing just by getting pregnant, he also has to deal with these scheming people.

Though not all of them are scheming, Lin Mian Mian still made a point that everyone should be aware of his existence. He flaunted his face and beauty, riches, talents, and of course his current role in Yan JinLong's heart. While he was shy a long ago about it, this time he even announced that 'Yan JinLong loves me and only me, btches' with a heart-heart hand gesture.

For the plan to work, Lin Mian Mian has to sacrifice a lot.

"No... It's all right. It is still usual nausea. Don't worry," Lin Mian Mian said.

"But Master Lin, you have been overworking yourself for a lot these days. Taking a break once will not hurt," Lu Mao insisted.

Lin Mian Mian thought of what Lu Mao said and agreed to it. After all, he is indeed feeling uncomfortable today. Aside from the dizzyness, his stomach also feels somewhat bloated. He recalled the food he ate last night and found nothing peculiar. Lu Mao and the maids are very strict on his diet so he knows that he didn't eat anything bad.
