The mornings at the Chu residence begin with the sickening sound of knives being sharpened.

Jiang Yining rolled over, and her thick fox fur slipped off, revealing a section of her snow-white, rounded shoulder, with some lingering red marks on it.

That was caused by Bai Ze's antics the previous two nights.

"My lady, you're awake?"

A deep murmur reached his ears, and Chu Sikong had already sat on the edge of the bed without him noticing.

His fingertips were casually stroking a strand of Jiang Yining's long hair that had fallen onto the pillow.

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat. This blind man had sharp ears; every time Bai Ze sneaked in, he would be waiting at the door right afterward.

"Um……"

She groaned and was about to sit up when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower back.

"That Bai Manzi is really bad at showing any tenderness towards women."

Chu Sikong chuckled and leaned closer, his cool breath brushing against her neck.

His long, slender fingers slid down her spine vertebra by vertebra, precisely pressing on that sore and tender spot.

"He's just a boorish man, unlike me, who only knows how to care for my sister."

Jiang Yining wanted to complain, "When you, this sickly person, are tormenting people in all sorts of ways in bed, you don't show a single bit of weakness."

Before she could speak, the door was pushed open.

Ji Lingxiao, dressed in a purple-gold official robe, was as aloof as snow. When his gaze swept over the two people on the bed, a hint of barely perceptible malice flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Chu, the anniversary of your brother's death is approaching. What kind of behavior is it for you to be entangled with your sister-in-law here?"

He was holding a bowl of steaming medicinal soup, and his voice was as cold as if he had fallen into ice shards.

Chu Sikong didn't stop moving; instead, he pressed even closer to Jiang Yining's back, and curled his lips in a provocative smile.

"Now that Ningning is my wife, I help her get up in bed. My brother in heaven must be pleased."

Ji Lingxiao's fingers tightened suddenly around the medicine bowl, his knuckles turning white.

He strode over, the air pressure so low it seemed to freeze the entire room.

"Take your medicine."

Looking at the dark medicine, Jiang Yining suddenly felt a wave of nausea rising in her stomach.

That strong, bitter medicinal smell was an excellent emetic.

"vomit--"

She abruptly pushed Ji Lingxiao's hand away and bent over to dry heave against the edge of the bed.

At this, all the men in the room froze.

Bai Ze was carrying two wild pheasants he had just shot into the yard when he heard the noise. He threw the pheasants on the ground and rushed into the house like the wind.

"What happened to Ningning?! Did that Ji guy poison you?!"

Ji Lingxiao reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Yining's wrist, his cool eyes narrowing slightly.

"Go and fetch a doctor."

He said this to Mo Ying, his voice trembling slightly with restraint.

Fifteen minutes later.

The white-bearded old doctor cautiously withdrew his hand, beads of sweat streaming down his forehead like a waterfall.

He looked at the three men surrounding the bed.

One is the powerful Grand Chancellor and Regent, the other is the ruthless General Protector of the Nation, and the other is the unfathomable Second Young Master of the Chu family.

Any one of these three people could easily wipe out his entire family.

The pulse of the woman lying on the bed was smooth and round like a pearl.

"how?"

Bai Ze grew impatient and roared, nearly shoving the old physician out of his wits.

"Congratulations..."

"Madam, this is... a sign of pregnancy."

The room was deathly silent.

Jiang Yining froze. She looked down at her flat stomach, and only one thought crossed her mind:

【broken.】

But then, that sweet, childlike voice in my head started excitedly shouting:

[Mommy! Yay! I'm about to be born!]

Jiang Yining: [Shut up.]

She feels like dying right now.

For the past two weeks, she has been trying to break the deadlock, and has even been urged by that baby voice to "collect".

But she never expected that the pregnancy would come so quickly.

The expressions on the three men's faces were quite varied at that moment.

Bai Ze was stunned for three seconds, then burst into wild joy and pushed Ji Lingxiao away.

"Mine! It's definitely mine!"

"shut up!"

Ji Lingxiao gave a cold shout, his face so black it could drip ink.

"General Bai, be careful what you say."

Chu Sikong's lips curled into a confident smile.

"It's still early days, and whose it is is still uncertain."

He lowered his voice and whispered in Jiang Yining's ear, his tone full of possessiveness.

"Sister, I will love this child dearly."

Jiang Yining looked at the three men who had already started calculating the date and felt dizzy.

This kind of life is worse than being strangled by that madman Ye Wuhen.

"doctor."

Ji Lingxiao suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing like sharp blades as he swept over the old physician.

"If a fourth person knew about this..."

"This old minister understands! This old minister will absolutely keep this a secret!"

The old doctor scrambled out of the room.

Jiang Yining lay on the bed, watching three men sit around her, each staring at her with dark, unsettling eyes.

This isn't a sign of good fortune; it's clearly a death knell.

The lunch at the Chu residence was even more somber than the meal at a grave.

In front of Jiang Yining was a small mountain of highly nutritious foods.

Bai Ze brought bird's nest soup, Ji Lingxiao brought a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum soup, and Chu Sikong personally peeled a plate of sour apricots.

"Ningning, eat more meat so the baby will grow strong and be able to fight like me!"

Bai Ze stuffed a chicken leg into her bowl, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Ji Lingxiao slowly scooped a spoonful of soup, his movements elegant, but his words were extremely harsh.

"If you act as recklessly as General Bai, you'll likely bring disaster upon yourself in the future. You should drink more brain-boosting drinks, just like me."

He didn't shy away from the situation at all, directly putting himself in the role of the father.

"My lords, please stop arguing."

Chu Sikong spoke softly, pushing the plate of sour apricots toward Jiang Yining.

"Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl. Since my wife loves sour food, she must be a heroic man like her elder brother."

He specifically mentioned "elder brother" to remind the other two men.

This child must have the surname Chu.

Jiang Yining suppressed her gagging, stuffed the sour apricot into her mouth, and mumbled indistinctly:

"That's enough... The doctor said it's not even a month yet, what's all the fuss about?"

[Mother, I also want to eat that red fruit.]

That baby voice is playing in my head again.

Jiang Yining was annoyed: [Stop eating! If you eat any more, your three fathers will start fighting!]

as predicted.

Bai Ze slammed his hand on the table, making the dishes rattle loudly.

"Days? I've got to forget about them..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something.

"Ningning, could it be that tyrant too?"

Jiang Yining hurriedly shook her head. Who knows if it's true or not? Deny it first.

Bai Ze changed his target again: "Ji Lingxiao, it's definitely not you. You haven't even had a chance a few times!"

Ji Lingxiao's face instantly turned red to the roots of his ears, he was extremely embarrassed and annoyed.

"vulgar!"

He flicked his sleeve, but his eyes darted guiltily toward the window.

Jiang Yining: "..."

There weren't many in the manor, but this man often went mad.

Inside the carriage...

Chu Sikong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, each tap feeling like a blow to Jiang Yining's heart.

"Looks like I still haven't been working hard enough."

Jiang Yining blushed and wished she could disappear into the ground.

I can't live like this anymore!

These men are all shameless and have all sorts of wild ways.
