If possible, Zhou Lianxiang really wishes she didn't understand any of these things.

But most of the sisters who came in with her are already pregnant, and despite enduring the rain and dew, her belly remains quiet.

Even though Lin Chen didn't explicitly say it, she understands that they came in to give birth to children for him.

Seeing how well Lin Chen treats those pregnant sisters, taking care of them in every way, she already understands about seventy to eighty percent.

Although Lin Chen always says it doesn't matter whether they have children or not, Zhou Lianxiang knows that having a child is important to her.

After arranging the new women, she quietly went to find Liang Shan.

"Medicine Master Liang, I really want a child. Please, help me, won't you?"

As soon as Zhou Lianxiang entered, she knelt directly in front of Liang Shan.

Seeing her like this, Liang Shan didn't show any particular expression.

He just looked at her calmly and said, "I am very expensive!"

What?

Zhou Lianxiang never expected that Liang Shan would bring up money.

She stood there stunned, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Seeing her standing there foolishly, Liang Shan became somewhat unhappy.

He snorted and said impatiently, "So you mean to say you never pay when you go out for medical treatment?"

Now, Zhou Lianxiang finally snapped out of it.

"As long as Medicine Master Liang is willing to help, I am willing to pay. I can pay any amount!" Zhou Lianxiang took off the jade pendant from her waist.

When she was still at the Zhou family, although she was from a collateral branch, their family was responsible for business and making money. Basically, the entire Zhou family relied on them to function, so they never lacked money.

Looking at the flawless jade pendant Zhou Lianxiang handed over, Liang Shan nodded in satisfaction. "You are a sensible girl. Sit down, I will examine you."

Zhou Lianxiang nodded and placed a cloth on her wrist.

Now that there are more and more women in the house, even though she can manage the household, she can't just be in charge of that forever, right? Over time, she would just become an old woman.

What future would she have then?

She must take advantage of the present, while there is still rain and dew, and get pregnant and have a child immediately. Only then can she establish a firm position in this family.

Soon, Medicine Master Liang came to a conclusion. "Your body is not easily able to conceive, so no matter how anxious you are, it won't help. However, your body has undergone some changes recently, so having a child is imminent."

After hearing this, Zhou Lianxiang still had a worried expression on her face. "Medicine Master Liang, do I need to take some fertility medicine?"

"Go back first, and after a month, everything will become clear. Don't always be in a hurry. You should know that haste makes waste." Medicine Master Liang looked at her with a smile that wasn't really a smile.

What does this mean?

Zhou Lianxiang couldn't quite understand what this meant for a moment.

But she still nodded and turned to leave.

What does it mean to not mess around for a month?

Zhou Lianxiang subconsciously touched her belly, her eyes filled with surprise.

Could it be that the child is already on the way?

That must be what Medicine Master Liang meant, right?

Thinking of this, her steps became much lighter as she walked.

The next day, early morning.

Zhou Zhuqing personally came to Lin Chen's study and looked at him, who was dozing off, with a slight frown. "I heard that many people brought you a lot of beauties yesterday, and they all came with dowries. Judging from your appearance, you must have been quite tired last night, right?"

"Are you feeling a little jealous?" Lin Chen looked at her with a smile that wasn't really a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhuqing's face changed and she rolled her eyes at him, saying impatiently, "You're thinking too highly of yourself. What do I have to be jealous of?"

Thinking of her father's instructions, Zhou Zhuqing's expression became even more peculiar.

Lin Chen probably said that just out of a momentary slip of the tongue.

But now, looking at Zhou Zhuqing's reaction, he felt that something was not quite right.

He approached her, raised an eyebrow, and looked at her as if he had discovered a new continent, laughing heartily. "Why are you blushing? Could it be that you're having impure thoughts?"

"Lin Chen, do you have anything else in your head besides these things?" Zhou Zhuqing said with a hint of disgust.

Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn't take her reprimand to heart. He just smiled and said, "Of course I have other important matters."

He said this as if he was presenting a treasure, directly taking out more than a dozen bottles and placing them on the table.

"These are all gifts from Liang Shan, that money string guy. He said they are all rare and valuable medicines. I don't understand these things and don't need them, so I'm giving them all to you. Take them back and choose what you need." Lin Chen handed all these things to her in one go.

Zhou Zhuqing looked at the dozen or so bottles and furrowed her eyebrows. "Do you know the value of these medicinal ingredients?"

"I don't know, I don't run a medicine shop! Your Zhou family is considered a prestigious family of immortals, so you must need these, right?" Lin Chen said carelessly.

But Zhou Zhuqing was moved.

She collected all these medicine bottles and smiled at him. "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite with me? You came to find me so early today, is there something you need?" Lin Chen waved his hand dismissively.

These medicines might be rare outside, but he had an inexhaustible medicine field and a dedicated alchemist. In the future, he could have as much of these types of medicines as he wanted, so why be stingy?

Moreover, the Zhou family was the most influential family in the area. Being on good terms with them would only bring benefits and no harm to himself!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's smile became even more sincere. "Hehe."

Seeing him smile, Zhou Zhuqing felt that something was off.

"Why are you laughing like that? What are you up to?" Zhou Zhuqing looked at him warily. "You're not looking for another woman, are you?"

"Cough cough! You..." Lin Chen was choked by her blunt words and kept coughing.

Seeing him in such a sorry state, Zhou Zhuqing couldn't help but laugh.

"Luo Shijie is here. She's at my house right now and wants to meet you." Zhou Zhuqing finally got to the point after laughing enough.

Luo Yunli!

The only adult with a high-grade spiritual root! Her cultivation level was very high!

When Lin Chen heard this name, his eyes lit up. Thinking of Luo Yunli's figure and appearance, he couldn't help but feel excited.

But then he thought again and felt a bit defeated.

Among the younger disciples, Luo Yunli was the most promising one. She had been cultivating diligently on the mountain for these years. How could she willingly have a child with him, who had an inferior spiritual root?

"Let's go?" Zhou Zhuqing pushed him and said, "What are you daydreaming about here?"

Lin Chen snapped back to reality, rummaged through his belongings, and found the two bottles of Qi-boosting pills that Liang Shan gave him yesterday. Then, they walked towards the Zhou Family Manor together.

This wasn't the first time he had come to the Zhou family, so he was familiar with the way.

After coming down the mountain, he hadn't seen Luo Yunli again. They were about to meet now, and Lin Chen felt a bit nervous, causing his steps to slow down.
