The anger in Fang Tianliu’s heart was about to boil him dry, but when he saw Li Xiangjun’s cowering face, he could only suppress his emotions and ask her as gently as he could, “This injury, was it caused by accident or…”

Why did Li Xiangjun return from Bei City?

Was it because the man she married knew that the child in her stomach was someone else’s, so he abused her?

Did she come back from Bei City because she couldn’t bear the humiliation and pain?

Fang Tianliu’s mind was in a mess; it felt like he was running at full speed.

Li Xiangjun drank the entire bowl of medicine quietly.

She was still in Fang Tianliu’s arms. Seeing that he was still able to maintain his gentleness despite his anger, she suddenly smiled and raised her hand to touch the corner of Fang Tianliu’s eyebrows. “How did you get this scar?”

The anger in his heart was strangely appeased by her.

Fang Tianliu lowered his gaze to look at her, and the injustice in his heart miraculously calmed down. He laughed for the first time before speaking.

“I have never told anyone about this. Zhao Zhan and Doctor Sun all think that I did something big in Bei City to get this scar.

“Actually, it’s not that. This scar is because I was being chased. In a panic, I turned my head and knocked down someone. I happened to hit his hoe here.

“It’s a good thing that his hoe wasn’t sharp enough. Otherwise, a small part of my head might have been directly cut off.”

Although Li Xiangjun’s heart ached, she still found it funny when she heard the reason. “If that happened to you, it would be easier for people to believe it than if you were to get hurt in a fight.”

“They’d believe you more than me!”

Fang Tianliu couldn’t help but laugh. He kept his arm around Li Xiangjun and didn’t let her lie down. “You’re right. Even though I look more mature after the big change, I’m still the same guy deep down. I’m not as steady and firm as Zhao Zhan, nor am I as meticulous and thoughtful as he is. I’m also not very good with my words-”

“No” Li Xiangjun said softly, her tone gradually becoming firm, “Zhao Zhan has his good points, and you have your own. There’s no reason in this world that says that it’s best to be like him. At least in my opinion, you’re doing great. You’re full of sincerity.”

Their eyes met, and the emotions that had been hidden in the depths of Fang Tianliu’s heart were revealed in his eyes.

“Xiangjun,” Fang Tianliu asked softly, “Can you tell me what happened to you in Bei City? I want to hear it. ”

“After I arrived in Bei City from Huai County, I…” Li Xiangjun’s expression changed, and her fingers subconsciously grabbed Fang Tianliu’s arm. “My water broke, am I about to give birth?”

“What?”

Fang Tianliu was shocked. He carefully laid her down and lifted her quilt to take a look. “The bed is wet. Let’s go to the next room now. Don’t be afraid. There’s a midwife at home. I’ve found one for you.”

When Li Xiangjun heard that there was a midwife, she felt a little more at ease.

“Midwife!”

Madam Zhang, who was invited by Yang Dashan, was somewhat famous in the village. If it wasn’t for the extra silver, she wouldn’t have been willing to take on this job. Now that she was about to give birth, Madam Zhang immediately perked up.

“Quickly put her on the bed and prepare hot water and food!”

Li Xiangjun’s situation was special. Doctor Sun had been guarding the side room and had not returned to his own courtyard. When he heard that Li Xiangjun was about to give birth, he went in first to take her pulse. “Fang Tianliu, you’re clumsy in the kitchen and can’t do the work well. Go next door and call Li Miao to come over to help.”

“Alright, I’ll go now.”

Fang Tianliu had already lost his ability to think.

He would do whatever the midwife and Doctor Sun said.

When Li Miao heard that Li Xiangjun was about to give birth, she remembered that they had just moved to this courtyard. She took a basket of eggs from home and brought them over.

It was too late to make chicken soup now, so she could only make some eggs in sugar water.

Li Miao was in the kitchen, Doctor Sun was guarding the door, and the midwife had been in the room the whole time.

Fang Tianliu stood outside the door and heard the painful cries coming from inside. He turned around anxiously. “I want to go in and take a look!”
