Just now, she went to the pharmacy to ask the doctor to examine her. The old doctor said that she was healthy.
She asked the old doctor when she could get pregnant, but the doctor simply asked if she was messing with him and kicked her out. She was so angry.
Xiao Ruoshui listened to her again before confirming that she was not hallucinating. Her face instantly turned red.
Although Xiao Ruoshui was more daring than the other daughters of noble families, she was not so frank with her words. “This person is indeed better than me in all aspects…” Xiao Ruoshui thought.
Seeing Shen Yijia’s serious expression, Xiao Ruoshui knew that she was not joking. She calmed herself down and stammered, “Don’t you know?”
“Aren’t you spouting nonsense? Why would I ask you if I knew?” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.
“But you and Brother Song have been married for so long. Have you never slept together?” Xiao Ruoshui found it unbelievable and lowered her voice.
Shen Yijia immediately shook her head. “We have. I’ve been staying in the same room as my husband.”
Xiao Ruoshui covered her face. “Could you be any less discreet?” she thought.
Shen Yijia could not stand her hesitation. She slammed the table. “Do you know or not? If you don’t, I’ll ask someone else.”
Xiao Ruoshui really wanted to kneel down in front of her. She quickly looked around. Indeed, many people were looking at them.
She quickly pulled Shen Yijia back. “I meant consummating the marriage. It’s… it’s…”
She couldn’t bring herself to say it. She gestured using her fingers and pouted her lips.
Shen Yijia understood for the first time. She nodded and pointed at the corner of her mouth. “My husband kissed me here. I even kissed his cheek.”
They had kissed more than once.
Xiao Ruoshui looked at Shen Yijia as if she was a monster. If anyone else said that, she would definitely think that they were mocking her. However, Shen Yijia looked serious, and she knew that it was not the case.
This person really didn’t know anything. Xiao Ruoshui suddenly remembered Shen Yijia’s background.
Xiao Ruoshui was the legitimate daughter of her family, and her mother was still alive. However, the two of them still suffered a lot because her father doted on his concubine.
Then Shen Yijia would probably have had a harder time back then. It was normal for her to have no one to teach her these things.
Shen Yijia did not know that Xiao Ruoshui had thought so much at this moment. She only realized that when she looked at her again, her gaze had changed.
There was pity in it, as well as a gaze that Madam Li usually gave Sister Huan and the others.
She shivered, picked up a peanut from the table, and flicked it at Xiao Ruoshui’s forehead.
Xiao Ruoshui came back to her senses and gritted her teeth as she glared at Shen Yijia. Indeed, this person did not need sympathy at all.
“Can kissing make you pregnant?” Shen Yijia did not believe it, because she wasn’t pregnant.
Xiao Ruoshui bit her lower lip and whispered into Shen Yijia’s ear, “I’m talking about the consummation.”
Shen Yijia asked, “What?”
Xiao Ruoshui held her forehead and rolled her eyes. She took out a piece of silver from her pouch and placed it on the table as payment. She waved at Shen Yijia. “Come with me.”
Song Jingchen finished checking the accounts and drank three cups of tea before Shen Yijia returned.
Seeing her flushed face, Song Jingchen thought that she was tired. He poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
Shen Yijia took it awkwardly and took a sip. She secretly glanced at Song Jingchen and lowered her head guiltily.
Song Jingchen saw her actions and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Even when the two of them returned home, Shen Yijia didn’t do anything strange. This made Song Jingchen relax.
However, Shen Yijia became strange. She would blush at the slightest things.
Usually, when she carried him up and down the carriage, Shen Yijia would dawdle for a long time because she wanted to hug him. However, she was extraordinarily quick today.
Song Jingchen thought that Shen Yijia had finally learnt to be more reserved. Although he wasn’t used to it, he didn’t ask further.
With his understanding of Shen Yijia, this change would not last long.
After dinner, the person who had waited for him before returning to the room every time went back early. Madam Li thought that the couple had quarreled and tried her best to educate Song Jingchen.
Song Jingchen felt wronged, but he really didn’t know what was wrong with Shen Yijia. In the end, Madam Li urged him to return to his room.
When he entered the room, he saw that Shen Yijia had already laid down. Her entire body was wrapped in a blanket, and only her head was exposed. She was looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Song Jingchen’s eyelids twitched. The bad premonition came again. It was so strong that he had the urge to rush out of the door.
“Hubby.” Shen Yijia pinched her throat and called out sweetly, “It’s time to sleep.”
Her words sounded as sweet and soft as honeyed clouds.
Song Jingchen’s body stiffened. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Shen Yijia resisted the urge to roll her eyes and shook her head with a smile. “I’m fine. I just want to sleep with my husband.”
“Ahem.” Song Jingchen turned his head away uncomfortably and sat down in front of the desk. “Sleep first. I’ll read for a while.”
“No, I can’t sleep without you here.”
Shen Yijia’s aggrieved voice sounded. Song Jingchen sighed helplessly.
He tried to convince himself that Shen Yijia would not eat him up. He put down the book he had just picked up and got into bed.
He tugged at the blanket, but he realized that Shen Yijia was pressing down on it.
He looked at Shen Yijia curiously and saw her suddenly stand up and pounce on him.
“Hubby, let’s consummate our marriage!”
Song Jingchen subconsciously reached out to catch her. Only when he pulled her into his arms did he realize that something was wrong.
“She- she’s actually naked…” he thought.
He pushed her away as if he had been scalded. The first thing he saw was her fair shoulders.
In a flash, Song Jingchen immediately closed his eyes and pulled the blanket over Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia, who was now wrapped in a cocoon, was speechless.
She really didn’t expect Song Jingchen to have such a big reaction. His attack was as fast as lightning, almost catching up to her speed, so she was stunned.
After she reacted, she wanted to struggle and escape. Song Jingchen sensed her movements and flipped over, pressing her under him. He stared at Shen Yijia with a burning gaze.
Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat. She was a little frightened by his gaze. She lowered her head and shrank back, wanting to say something, but she realized that something had landed on her face.
She looked up and her pupils dilated. She stammered, “You- you’re having a nosebleed.”
Song Jingchen closed his eyes helplessly. Who was to blame for this?
“Hubby, are you alright?” Shen Yijia was extremely worried.
Song Jingchen got out of bed and casually wiped his face with a handkerchief. When he saw the clothes Shen Yijia had thrown aside, the scene from before immediately appeared in his mind. His head throbbed. He took a few steps forward and handed the clothes to Shen Yijia. “I’m fine. Put on your clothes quickly.”
With that, he immediately turned his back to her.
“Oh.” Shen Yijia meekly took the clothes and put them on.
Song Jingchen couldn’t help but imagine that scene again. He quickly covered his nose with a handkerchief and shook his head. He kept chanting the Heart Cleansing Incantation in his heart, wishing he could temporarily seal his hearing.
