Chapter 150 Is this your baby?
Yan Mobai returned to Fuxue Garden for lunch. He did not go back to Dali Temple, nor did he take Chifeng and Lanying with him. He rode his horse to Wuming Mountain alone.
Mr. Shi was a little surprised to see his sudden visit.
"Why did you come here at this time, sir?"
"I have some questions for you, Mr. Shi."
Seeing that he only said this one sentence and nothing else, Mr. Shi understood, signaled the boy beside him to step back, and took Yan Mobai to his bedroom.
"What do you want to ask, sir?" Mr. Shi closed the door.
Yan Mobai suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down, scaring Mr. Shi.
"My Lord, this is...get up quickly."
Mr. Shi came over to help him.
Yan Mobai didn't get up.
Seeing him like this, Mr. Shi had no choice but to give up and listen to him finish.
"I would like to ask Mr. Shi to keep it a secret for me. Please keep the questions I am going to ask and the words I am going to say confidential for me." Yan Mobai said.
Mr. Shi was stunned.
"Including Prince Ning?" asked Mr. Shi.
Yan Mobai nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Mr. Shi looked surprised.
Reach out to help him again.
"Don't worry, I became friends with you first, and then with him. In other words, the reason why I became friends with him was because of you, so I will definitely not tell you what you asked me to keep secret."
"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Yan Mobai stood up.
Mr. Shi, he believes it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come.
If I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t have brought Ning Miao here last time.
"You're thanking me? If you hadn't risked your life to save me, I would have been a pile of dust long ago. Have I ever thanked you?" Mr. Shi replied.
The two sat down at the table in the room.
Mr. Shi picked up the kettle and poured tea: "Let me guess what you want to ask."
Passing the poured tea to Yan Mobai, Shi Lao asked with a smile: "About the Miss Ning who came last time? About her three years of life?"
Yan Mobai curved his lips and said, "It's true that nothing can be hidden from Master Shi."
Mr. Shi poured himself another cup: "Then let me guess, is it related to the fetus in her belly?"
Yan Mobai was just picking up the cup to drink tea, but stopped when he heard the words.
Very surprised: "How did Mr. Shi know?"
Mr. Shi smiled, put down the teapot, stroked his beard, and looked meaningful.
"Your child?" Mr. Shi asked without answering.
Yan Mobai lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in them, held the cup and drank tea, nodded slightly, and said "hmm".
Mr. Shi was particularly surprised to see a somewhat shy expression on his face.
Mr. Shi laughed again, a hearty “Haha”.
"I really didn't expect it! I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would see you have a woman and even a child."
Yan Mobai said nothing and drank another sip of water in silence.
Seeing him like this, Mr. Shi remembered something, put away the smile on his face, and asked him: "Then...will you keep the baby? You are not here to get abortion pills, are you?"
"No." Yan Mobai replied.
Mr. Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't you bring her here for a blood test to see if she was pregnant? After you left, I tested her blood again and found out that she was pregnant."
Yan Mobai nodded, he guessed that was the case.
"Then why didn't you send a boy down the mountain to tell me the news?"
Mr. Shi's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a sip of water from the cup.
"I don't know the relationship between you and the girl. How could I know that her pregnancy is related to you? I thought it was her own business and she would know it sooner or later. It didn't matter whether you knew it or not, so I didn't let anyone tell you."
Yan Mobai sneered.
"Do you think I believe you? I don't even know what's going on in your mind."
When Mr. Shi saw that he was exposed, he smiled.
"Well, I was afraid that if you knew, you would abort the baby, so I didn't let anyone tell you."
After saying that, he changed the subject.
"However, I will definitely tell you, it's just a matter of time. After all, Miss Ning has been in the imperial examination for three years."
When Yan Mobai heard this, his heart tightened.
He immediately put down the cup in his hand.
"I came here this time to ask Master Shi, is it okay for her to be pregnant again after three years of pregnancy? She has eaten the bones of the snake, are she and the child okay?"
Because he was not sure and was really worried, he came to see Mr. Shi.
"The snake bone that His Royal Highness Prince Ning gave you?" asked Mr. Shi.
"Yeah." Yan Mobai nodded.
He reached into his sleeve pocket and pulled out a neatly folded handkerchief, opened it, took out a small piece of something wrapped inside, and handed it to Mr. Shi.
"Help me take a look, is this a real snake bone?"
King Ning gave him half of a snake bone.
Half is the amount for two or three people.
So, he broke it in half again.
Half of it was ground into powder and Ning Miao ate it this morning. This is the remaining half.
Mr. Shi pinched it with two fingers, looked at it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and nodded: "It is a real snake bone."
Handing the snake bone back to him, Shi Lao asked with a smile: "Why? Do you suspect that the King of Ning gave you a fake one? When did you lose trust in each other?"
Yan Mobai took the snake bone, put it back into the handkerchief, wrapped it up, and put it into his sleeve.
In fact, he did not doubt the authenticity of the snake bone.
Because King Ning wouldn't do it so obviously.
If Ning Miao was exposed to King Kang without consulting him, he would still have a reason to explain himself to him.
If he were given a fake snake bone, its nature would be completely different.
Unless Prince Ning no longer wants his help in the future, he would not do such a lowly thing.
So, he believed that the snake bone was real.
However, since it concerns Ning Miao's life, there can be no room for any mistakes. He still brought it to Mr. Shi for confirmation before he could be completely relieved.
"Mr. Shi also knows that the three years of Spring and Autumn were stolen by King Kang's men, so he should be able to guess that Miss Ning must be related to King Kang." Yan Mobai said.
Mr. Shi nodded.
Of course he guessed it.
He spent three years developing it, and he only made the ones that were stolen, and never made them again.
Moreover, Miss Ning had been poisoned for a year, so the timing was just right.
Yan Mobai continued, "So, when I asked His Royal Highness Prince Ning for the snake bone, he naturally thought of these things."
"He doesn't trust Miss Ning. Some time ago, he secretly plotted to expose Miss Ning to King Kang."
"King Kang wanted to kill Miss Ning, but fortunately Miss Ning was smart and managed to escape death."
"Now, in the eyes of outsiders, Miss Ning is already dead. Prince Kang wants to kill her, and Prince Ning doesn't want her to live either. Her situation is very dangerous."
"That's why I asked Mr. Shi to keep it a secret for me and not even tell His Royal Highness Prince Ning." Yan Mobai said solemnly.
Since he came to see Mr. Shi today, Mr. Shi must know that Ning Miao is still alive, so he spoke frankly to let him know the seriousness of the matter.
Mr. Shi nodded.
It turned out to be the case.
In fact, he could guess some of it.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I know the pros and cons of this. I also haven't told anyone about Miss Ning's illness for three years." said Mr. Shi.
"Yes," Yan Mobai nodded, remembering what Master Shi had said just now, and confirmed again: "Then Miss Ning ate the snake bones, will the mother and child be safe from now on?"
Mr. Shi shook his head: "Not really."
