Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

On a table in the corner were two wooden buckets, and the three dishes on the table were almost empty. Zhiyi was holding half a bowl of rice with her mouth wide open, looking shocked.

Across from her, Chunhua was shoveling rice into her mouth, a single bite of vegetables easily matching a bowl of white rice.

"That's the twentieth bowl!"

A gasp came from the side.

Ji Yueru walked to the table.

"lady."

"Are you full? If not, I'll ask the manager to add two more dishes for you."

"I'm full."

Zhiyi quickly put down her bowl, and Chunhua, who was sitting opposite her, also let out a burp. She had never been full.

"Madam, I'm full too."

"Let's go."

"Madam, please wait."

Zhiyi, aren't you going to finish the remaining half bowl of rice?

"I'm not eating anymore."

"Then I'll eat it for you; it's such a waste to leave leftovers."

Chunhua took the rice bowl from in front of Zhiyi, then poured all the remaining vegetables from the plate into the bowl and mixed them.

Under the shocked gazes of the two, Chunhua finished most of the bowl of rice in just two bites—it was all gone!

I knew Chunhua had a big appetite, but I never imagined she could eat this much.

The two buckets of rice next to her were more than she and Zhiyi could finish in a month.

Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone in the lobby, the three approached the counter.

"Shopkeeper, how much is it in total?"

The shopkeeper's apologetic smile.

"This meal is on the old lady's behalf, so there's no need for you to pay."

Ji Yueru didn't say much and left with her two maids.

During this time, she kept calling An'an's name, but it had no effect at all.

I was extremely panicked. Why did An'an suddenly stop responding? Could something have happened?

Thinking about the amount of activity she had last night, Ji Yueru felt increasingly uncertain.

I happened to see a pharmacy not far away. When I got there, I sat down directly in front of the doctor and placed my hand on the pulse pillow.

"Please, doctor, take a look at the baby in my belly."

The five-month pregnant belly was already showing, and the doctor didn't hesitate to place two fingers on her wrist.

"Madam is somewhat deficient in both qi and blood, and her body is also a bit weak. She should eat more nourishing foods regularly. The baby in her womb is fine."

"Doctor, why do I feel like the baby in my belly isn't moving much today?"

"It's perfectly normal for a five-month-old fetus to not move much, madam. Don't panic. Check again tomorrow, and if there's still no movement, then have the doctor take your pulse."

Seeing that the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong, they had no choice but to give up.

"Zhiyi, go rent a carriage, let's go to Dajue Temple."

The doctor's words did not comfort her. Since the doctor could not figure it out, she decided to go to the temple to pray for An'an. She was determined to try, no matter how it might work.

"Madam, shall we go now?"

"Okay, let's go now."

"It's more than 20 miles of mountain road to get from the city to Dajue Temple. If we walk now, we'll definitely have to stay at the temple tonight, but we haven't brought anything with us."

"It's alright, I'll stay for a day and come back tomorrow."

Seeing that his wife insisted, he did not try to persuade her further.

"Chunhua, you stay here and watch over Madam. Make sure no one who doesn't know their place offends her. I'll be right back."

"Don't worry, Zhiyi, I've got your help, Madam."

Zhiyi left in a hurry, not only renting a carriage, but also buying some useful items from the shops along the way.

The three of them, master and servant, boarded a carriage and headed straight for Dajue Temple outside the city.

Ji Yueru kept her eyes closed and rested the whole way. Heaven knows how anxious she was. She called An'an's name in her heart again and again, but there was no response.

Because Ji Yue Ru was pregnant, Zhi Yi did not dare to let the coachman and carriage drive too fast. By the time the three of them arrived at the Mahavira Hall of Dajue Temple, it was already two hours later.

Ji Yue Ru did not rest, but knelt devoutly before the Buddha.

"I hope Buddha will bless my daughter with peace and safety. I am willing to exchange ten lifetimes of merit for my daughter's safety and safety."

Where Ji Yue Ru couldn't see, a golden light emanated from the Buddha and struck her stomach, and An An's voice rang in her ears again.

Oh, Mother, where are you now?

"An'an, you finally responded to your mother. I thought something had happened to you."

Last night I used a little bit of my mental energy on you, and maybe I used too much of it, so I felt a little dizzy and wanted to sleep.

Now things are much better. Next time you see me, Mom, please don't panic. I'll contact you after I've had a good night's sleep.

Thinking about how I was several times faster than usual last night, I never expected it was all thanks to An'an.

He secretly vowed to himself that he must become strong, and that he would never let his daughter get hurt.

"Female benefactor, you are the abbot's destined person today. Our abbot wishes to see you."

While the mother and daughter were still interacting, a young novice monk walked over.

"The abbot wants to see me?"

"Yes, benefactor."

"Mother, go, go! Abbot Liaowu of Dajue Temple possesses profound magical powers. Seeing him will only bring you benefits, not harm."

"But An'an, what if he tries to harm you?"

Don't worry about me. I'm not a ghost anymore; I'm the baby in your belly. The only difference is that I have memories from my past life. He won't harm me.

Since An'an agreed, she didn't hesitate and followed the little monk to the backyard of Dajue Temple.

"Benefactor, the abbot is inside. Please come in."

"Zhiyi, Chunhua, wait for me at the courtyard gate."

Upon entering the courtyard, one immediately sees the plump monk sitting at a stone table under the plum tree. Without even guessing, one knows his identity; he must be none other than Abbot Liaowu of Dajue Temple.

Upon arriving before the abbot, Ji Yueru raised her hand in a Buddhist salute.

"Greetings, Abbot."

"Please have a seat, benefactor."

Ji Yueru sat down, and the abbot opposite her didn't say anything but just stared at her, yet he didn't evoke any sense of dislike in her.

[Old monk, what are you looking at!]

"An'an, don't be rude."

The mother and daughter were completely unaware that a smile had crept into the abbot's eyes as they interacted.

"Madam, this jade has the effect of calming the fetus and pacifying the soul. Wearing it on your body will only benefit the fetus in your womb. Remember to wear it with you at all times, and never take it off when you sleep."

Only then did she notice a jade pendant on the stone table in front of her, the color of which was somewhat similar to that of the stone table.

She had never seen a jade pendant of such color before, and she had no idea what it was made of.

The moment I picked up the jade pendant, I felt it warm to the touch.

"Mom, this is good stuff, please accept it quickly. I feel so comfortable as soon as you pick it up."

Ji Yueru originally didn't plan to accept it, but seeing that An'an liked it and that it would be beneficial, she didn't refuse.

"Thank you, Abbot."

"Go back, Madam. You must believe that everything in the universe has its own cause and effect. You don't need to get tainted by the cause and effect of others."

"Thank you for your guidance, Abbot."

Ji Yueru lowered her head, deeply disagreeing with the abbot's words. In her previous life, she had not been involved in anyone's karma, yet she ended up dying a miserable death from exhaustion.

In this life, she will use her own hands to earn a future for herself and An'an.

On the path leading out of the hospital, Ji Yueru encountered someone.

The newcomer was dressed in black, and his once black hair had turned completely white, making his skin appear even paler.

After only one glance, Ji Yueru quickly lowered her head and stood by the path to pay her respects.

"This humble woman greets His Highness Prince Shun."
