Since Lu Beichuan already knew the truth, there was no need for Ye Qing and Ye Zhen to play the disguise game in front of Lu Beichuan.
Ye Zhen asked Ye Qing to go back to her room first. She would think of a way to deal with the rest.
Not long after she sent Ye Qing off, Uncle Lu knocked on the door. He pushed in a food delivery cart and brought in a midnight snack and tonics specially made for Ye Zhen. He placed them on the table one by one.
The small cups were filled with bird's nest tonics that Ye Zhen had never seen before.
"So much?"
"Young Master asked you to choose what to eat." Uncle Lu looked at Ye Zhen's thin and weak body and sighed. "Your body needs to be nourished."
Ye Zhen guessed that Lu Beichuan hadn't announced her pregnancy to the public yet. After all, she was almost two months pregnant, and Lu Beichuan had only been awake for half a month. The timing didn't match, and it wouldn't be good if word got out.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu. You should go back and rest."
Uncle Lu looked at her with a smile. He genuinely liked this young lady. He liked her kindness and purity. "Then I'll leave first. If there's anything, just call me."
"Okay."
After Uncle Lu left, Ye Zhen tentatively picked up a cup of soup and sniffed it. There wasn't any strange smell, and it didn't make her feel nauseous. She scooped up a small spoonful and found that it tasted pretty good.
Lu Beichuan pushed the door open and entered. When he saw Ye Zhen sitting at the table eating supper, he took off his suit jacket as he walked in and threw it casually on the back of the sofa. He loosened his bow tie and felt that the temperature was a little low. Looking at Ye Zhen in her thin pajamas, Lu Beichuan couldn't help but frown slightly. He raised the temperature in the room by a few degrees.
Ye Zhen glanced at him and looked at the seven or eight cups of tonics in front of her. "Boss Lu, do you raise pigs?" She asked, "Do you raise pigs?"
Lu Beichuan took a blanket from the hanger and draped it over Ye Zhen. He sat beside her and hugged her waist. His palm rested on her lower abdomen. "You're too thin. It's good for the baby to eat more."
Sure enough, he was only thinking about the child in her belly.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "It's not good for the child to be angry."
Lu Beichuan didn't say much. He held Ye Zhen's left hand and put a bright diamond ring on her ring finger.
When Ye Zhen first married into the Lu Family, the Lu Family symbolically put on the wedding rings for the two of them.
"You're pregnant with my child now, so you're Lu Beichuan's wife. Leave the wedding matters to me. I'll also take care of your identity. Don't have any other thoughts. Do you understand?" He knew that Ye Zhen wanted to leave him. If he used the child as a burden, he might be able to soften her heart and make her stay.
Ye Zhen looked at the ring on her left hand. It was a pair with Lu Beichuan's ring.
***
The next morning, Lu Beichuan went to the company to take up his new post. Mrs. Lu had prepared a lot of expensive gifts to visit the Ye family. Looking at the happy expression on Mrs. Lu's face, she really didn't take her husband, who was in jail, to heart.
It wasn't just Mrs. Lu. Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu, who hadn't shown up since he came back last night, didn't seem to care.
Along the way, Ye Zhen kept muttering in her heart. How exactly did Lu Shaoren get accused of premeditated murder?
It wasn't written in the novel, so Ye Zhen wasn't too sure either. However, Lu Shaoren's imprisonment was indeed planned by Lu Beichuan, but she didn't know the reason for it.
Rich families had a lot of disputes. There was really no need to get involved in this mess.
Not long after, they arrived at the Family Ye.
Father Ye and Mother Ye were waiting at the door. Mrs. Lu greeted them with a smile as soon as she got out of the car.
"Mrs. Lu, I've heard a lot about you. It's our Family Ye's honor that you're able to visit us in person."
Mrs. Lu shook Father Ye's hand. "We're family. There's no need to be so polite."
Father Ye nodded repeatedly and invited them into the villa.
Mother Ye deliberately slowed down a step and glanced at Ye Zhen and Ye Qing. When she got out of the car, she clearly saw that Mrs. Lu was holding Ye Zhen's hand. She thought she was seeing things, but when she took a closer look, she really wasn't.
She whispered, "What's going on?"
Ye Qing lowered her head and didn't say anything. Mother Ye looked sharply at Ye Zhen. "Ye Zhen, what's going on?!"
Ye Zhen looked at her expressionlessly. "If there's anything, we'll talk about it tonight."
