Chapter 264 Exiled Man's Sister-in-law 37
"No problem."

Lin Zhi looked at him and said, "Why are you..."

There was confusion in his eyes. Didn't he want to find out the truth? He didn't even want to tell Liu's mother and others that he was alive. Why did he suddenly come to find her? Wasn't he afraid of being discovered?

Liu Zong subconsciously tightened his arms and said, "I wanted to come and see you." After separating from her in the mountain village, he had indeed been looking for traitors, but he was worried about her all the time in his heart, wondering if she was okay and whether she could sleep well at night.

Thinking about what she said before she left, that she had changed the medicine and that she was very likely pregnant, he endured it for more than a month and could no longer hold back and came to find someone.

It was inconvenient for him to go into the village, so he simply contacted his subordinates and kept an eye on them, and found out that Zhang He was in the city.

So he sent a message for her to come into the city.

He helped her sit on the chair and looked at her belly with a complicated expression, "Is your stomach...stable?"

Lin Zhi lowered her head and touched it: "You should have learned from Zhang He that it is indeed pregnant. As for whether it is a boy or a girl, we will have to wait a few more months to find out after the baby is born. But it is not making trouble, so I think it will be a very well behaved one."

Liu Zong said "hmm" in a deep voice. Not long after she and his third brother went to the city to check her pulse, he received the news. He felt happy and sad at the same time. He was naturally happy that she was carrying his child. If nothing happened to the Liu family, he also looked forward to raising the child with her and sharing the happiness of a family of three.

But now the child was born with guilt, and his future is unknown, so he feels even more depressed.

"When my sister-in-law was pregnant, Brother Ziyun often told me that his reaction was very strong. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell Zhang He. I told him to take good care of your pregnancy and find a way to prevent him from being blamed by Anyang Hou and return to Beijing safely. So you don't have to worry about him doing anything. Just rest assured and take care of the baby."

Qingjun's eyebrows softened. "If there's anything you want, or if the child needs anything, just let me know. I've left people in the city who will keep an eye on this place."

Of course, in addition to tempting him with benefits, he also warned Zhang He that if he dared to have other intentions, he would never return.

In the past, he would have disdained to use such means to threaten a doctor who was powerless, but now, for the safety of her and the child, he would do anything, no matter how cruel.

Lin Zhi knew he was threatening someone as soon as she heard it. She found it a little funny, but she also sighed at his arrangement. She thought he must have been unable to sleep peacefully these days. "Thank you."

I looked up at him and asked, "Are you doing well?"

Liu Zong nodded: "Everything is fine." He didn't say much. What he did was too dangerous. The Liu family might also be being watched by someone now. It would be bad for her to know too much.

He also talked about some precautions during pregnancy and delivery, and told her that he had sent people to find a midwife, so she didn't have to worry, Zhang He would be waiting outside, and she shouldn't be afraid of anything happening, she would be safe, etc... It seemed as if he was afraid that he would never come back after leaving this time, and he had arranged everything in advance.

Lin Zhi nodded without changing her expression: "Okay, I get it, you don't have to be too stressed, and I have my mother and little sister at home to help me, just go and do your thing."

Liu Zong couldn't help but lower his head, seeing her smiling face, and gently hugged her: "Lin..."

Sighing, he wondered what he should do with her.

Whenever he thought about her having to deal with all the things during pregnancy and childbirth alone, even though he had made all the arrangements he could think of, he still felt fear in his heart and couldn't feel at ease.

"Can I, touch him?" he said.

Lin Zhi said nothing but just pressed his hand on his lower abdomen. Although Liu Zong could not feel anything, he felt that there was a little life growing inside.

He turned to look at her: "Thank you."

His face was reflected in Lin Zhi's eyes: "No need, I said, I just want a child to be with me, I don't care what you do." Her eyes were clear, proving that what she said was true.

Liu Zong nodded: "I know." He took the person into his arms, "I just can't bear to let him go."

He couldn't bear to leave her, couldn't bear to leave their child, wanted to watch the baby be born, wanted to be with her... He avoided her belly, held her on his lap, and stared at her.

Lin Zhi looked at him, then put her arms around his neck. Liu Zong was moved, and the two hugged each other tightly.

Zhang He stood outside and waited for an unknown amount of time before the door to the house opened.

The second young master in a black robe asked him to come in and take her pulse with a cold face. He hurried in and found that the pulse was steady and strong. Linzhi and the child were both healthy and there was no problem.

After hearing this, the coldness on Liu Zong's face eased, and he gently spoke to Lin Zhi, asking her to wait patiently.

Zhang He lowered his head, not daring to listen carefully, but thinking in his heart that he was suddenly held back by a strong man with a knife early in the morning, and then Liu Zong came in and asked him to go and pick up the second young master's wife.

That cold and fierce look almost scared him to death.

But... I raised my eyes and took a quick look. The second young master treated the second young master's wife in the same way as before on the mountain.

Suddenly, Liu Zong glanced at him coldly, and he lowered his head in fear.

Zhang He quickly said he was going to get some medicine, and added that he had recently found a twenty-year-old wild ginseng, which was just right for the Second Young Master's wife to take back, so he left without daring to disturb them.

As soon as he left, Liu Zong hugged him again, thought for a moment and said, "I'm going on a long journey this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for a long time, you have to take care of yourself, okay?"

"Sanlang is at home, he can protect mother, younger sister, you and the child."

He had always been paying attention to the family, so he naturally knew that Sanlang had grown up and was no longer the reckless boy in the capital who did whatever he wanted. Especially after he knew that she was pregnant, he helped and protected her in every way.

He was half relieved of his worries.

Lin Zhi said 'hmm' and asked, "Can you come back alive?"

Liu Zong didn't know what to say for a moment, and he himself didn't know either, so Lin Zhi said, "If you don't come back, send someone to bring something back, so that the child will have something to think about when he grows up."

Liu Zong opened his mouth with difficulty after a long while: "Okay." He agreed to her.

After Zhang He packed the herbs, he dawdled for a while before disturbing the two of them. It was time to go back as the morning had passed.

The things were put on the ox cart, and Linzhi got on. Liu Zong pretended to be a coachman and drove the cart in front. After driving the cart to a distance from the city gate, he got off and looked at her.

The two of them stared at each other, neither of them speaking.

Seeing that someone noticed this place, Lin Zhi said, "I'm leaving."

Liu Zong nodded.

Zhang He hurried up and drove the ox cart, rumbling back along the road until it was out of sight.

A man dressed as a woodcutter walked up to Liu Zong and said, "Second Master, the Third Master is in the camp five miles away. You must go see him."

"No need." Liu Zong looked at the road in Linzhi, "Just have someone deliver the things to him. He knows what to do, and we have to do what we should do."

He looked towards the dark black mountain in the distance: "Have all the others arrived?"

The subordinate said respectfully: "We are already waiting in the dense forest a mile away. The horses and documents for exiting the customs are also ready. We can set off at any time."
