Though not as delicate as previously, it now had an added touch of naive charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but reach out to pinch her cheek, not expecting that this would awaken Gu Youyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blinking her groggy eyes, she mumbled, \"What time is it now? Have you woken up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a doting smile, Jin Zijin said, \"If you want to sleep more, then sleep a while longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou propped herself up and glanced at the hourglass in the room, estimating that it was now noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin had come home early, freshened up, and by the time he took a nap, it was already midday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder she felt a bit hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, he had rushed back home through the heavy snow, but had he had anything to eat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you have breakfast?\" Gu Youyou asked worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin hesitated before replying, \"I did, I ate at the station.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he hadn’t had a proper meal for two or three days, subsisting on just bites of tough bread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou sat up and declared, \"It’s almost time for lunch; I won’t sleep anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Miss Du... Gu Youyou felt a bit troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few months, she had always dined with Miss Du because, as pregnant women, they ate differently from others, sharing a special prenatal meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simpler for the two pregnant women to eat together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou got up and dressed, saying, \"Miss Du is at our home, I need to tell her that I won’t join her for lunch and we won’t go out. We’ll just eat here in the Warm Pavilion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is Miss Du in our house?\" Jin Zijin asked while getting dressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou paused, not sure how to explain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was truly uncertain how men of this world viewed women who were pregnant before marriage; such a woman, once exposed, would either be drowned or paraded down the streets for people to throw rotten eggs at, wouldn’t they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Jin Zijin wouldn’t actually throw rotten eggs at Miss Du, she was afraid he would look down upon her and send her away. What then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the battle of Xining that lasted six months, the children in their wombs were already seven months along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other woman was nearly due to give birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought and carefully choosing her words, she said, \"Miss Du has some troubles and needs to stay with us a few more months. Only I and a few maids from the inner court know about this, you must not send her away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin frowned, not quite agreeing with her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their inner court was a private space for the two of them. It might have been okay when he wasn’t around, but now that he had returned, how could he tolerate an outsider living there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how close this outsider was to Gu Youyou, it wouldn’t do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Since she’s in trouble and is your friend, naturally I won’t send her away. But it’s inconvenient for her to stay in our courtyard. With so many courtyards in the mansion, we’ll arrange another one for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Gu Youyou had arranged for Miss Du to stay in her own courtyard for safety and convenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having two pregnant women living together allowed for the sharing of child-rearing experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that it was inconvenient, she supposed mentioning it to Miss Du and changing courtyards shouldn’t be an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not about moving Miss Du; instead, she planned to switch with Jin Zijin.\u003C\u002Fp>",656,"2026-06-06T06:55:07.463Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f84ad129df398942b31c3edfc5fe0c6c925a6ac6f752709a0b67070cfede608","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1118","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1116",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
