After sending the person back to the room, Zhou Lianxiang was immediately called for.

Zhou Lianxiang was his first woman, naturally different, and with so many people in the house, someone had to come and manage them temporarily.

It had been over a month since Lin Chen had seen Zhou Lianxiang, and he missed her terribly.

As soon as they met, she sat directly on Lin Chen's lap, her delicate arms resting on his shoulders like boneless jade. "Master, it's been so long, don't you miss me?"

Lin Chen coughed and pinched her chest, speaking softly, "You seductive little demon, how could I not miss you?"

It must be said that Zhou Lianxiang was really disappointing.

He clearly treated her equally, and even showed her a bit more tenderness.

But after these three months, there was no sign of movement in her belly, indicating that she might have difficulty conceiving.

Since that was the case, he couldn't waste bullets for no reason.

He smiled, slid his hand inside her collar, teasing her, "You've been managing things at home quite well, but you must take good care of the child in Zhou Yun'er's belly, understand?"

"Master, rest assured, I will take good care of it." Zhou Lianxiang leaned on Lin Chen's body, breathing heavily. "Master, I miss you so much."

Lin Chen turned over, pressing her against the table, and smirked, "Do you miss me, or do you miss something else?"

"Of course, I miss the master." Zhou Lianxiang wriggled her waist, inviting him.

After a fierce battle, Zhou Lianxiang walked out of the study in a strange posture.

The women in the courtyard all knew about Lin Chen's abilities. Seeing her like this, what else was there to not understand?

They all looked over, clearly eager for more rain and dew, hoping to get pregnant quickly.

In the Lin family, only pregnancy could receive attention.

It would be even better if there was a child with a high-quality spiritual root in their belly, then they wouldn't have to worry about their own future.

With Lin Chen's instructions, Zhou Lianxiang naturally took extremely good care of Zhou Yun'er. Perhaps even her own mother wouldn't do as well.

Looking at the tonic brought over by Zhou Lianxiang, Zhou Yun'er sighed, "Sister, I really can't eat anymore."

"Even for the sake of the child in your belly, you can't not eat." Zhou Lianxiang envied her belly and whispered, "You're so capable, you got pregnant within a month of entering the house. Now, there are so many sisters in the mansion who have children. You should spend time together and communicate."

Zhou Yun'er looked at the tonic and gently placed her hand on her belly. It was still early in the pregnancy, so she couldn't tell anything yet.

She lowered her head and whispered, "I just don't know what kind of child this will be."

"No matter what kind of child it is, it's your child."

"Big sister, actually, we are all part of the Zhou family, connected by blood. There are some things I don't want to hide from you. Lu Qiu has returned."

Zhou Yun'er looked around and lowered her voice.

What?

Zhou Lianxiang looked at her incredulously.

When they were in the Zhou family, although their relationship wasn't close, they still knew each other.

Zhou Lianxiang looked at her in disbelief, "Isn't he dead?"

"I thought so too, but he didn't die. It was a misunderstanding at the time." Zhou Lianxiang sighed.

She looked outside the door, made sure no one was listening, and then whispered, "But I just received a letter from Lu Qiu. He's not dead. It was all a misunderstanding."

After hearing this, Zhou Lianxiang frowned, "What do you mean? You are already the master's woman now, and you have the master's child in your belly. You're not thinking of leaving with the child, are you?"

"I have a deep connection with Lu Qiu, I..." Zhou Yun'er paused.

She looked at her small belly and couldn't continue speaking.

Seeing this, Zhou Lianxiang sighed, "You're pregnant now, so don't overthink things. Take care of the child in your belly."

Zhou Yun'er could only nod and softly say, "But I don't know what to do next."

In reality, she still wanted to reconcile with her partner.

Her relationship with Lin Chen was just a passing romance, something of the past.

But now she was pregnant!

She couldn't go back with the child.

This child came at such an inconvenient time.

Zhou Lianxiang quickly relayed this news to Lin Chen.

"What did you say? Her partner is still alive?" Lin Chen gritted his teeth. "What is going on?"

"I don't know the specifics, but Yun'er and her partner had deep feelings for each other. It's possible that in order to reconcile, they don't want this child. So, the family head should be cautious," Zhou Lianxiang worriedly looked at him.

Lin Chen understood what this meant.

If there was no child in Zhou Yun'er's belly, her partner would come back and she would leave.

But now, there was a high-grade spiritual root in her belly. If it was lost, the loss would be too great.

Moreover, this was his child, his woman. He couldn't give them to someone else.

"Investigate and find out who Lu Qiu is and where he is now."

"Keep a close eye on Zhou Yun'er. If she makes any moves, intercept her immediately. Nothing can happen to this child!"

Lin Chen gave a serious order.

"Yes, family head, rest assured, I will handle this matter well." Zhou Lianxiang immediately nodded obediently and walked away.

Lin Chen went straight to the Zhou family.

In the end, this matter had to be discussed with the Zhou family.

The head of the Zhou family was out today, so he could only talk to Zhou Zhuqing.

"What did you say? Lu Qiu is still alive?" Zhou Zhuqing was also stunned. "He clearly died before, killed by a demonic beast. How did he come back to life?"

"I don't know, but the child in Zhou Yun'er's belly is a high-grade spiritual root. We must ensure nothing happens to it," Lin Chen spoke honestly.

If he didn't say this, the matter wouldn't be taken seriously at all.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhuqing hesitated for a moment and whispered, "When Zhou Yun'er and Lu Qiu were together, it caused quite a stir. You know, for cultivators, partners aren't necessarily fixed. But they made a vow to be together for a lifetime."

"After Lu Qiu died, Zhou Yun'er almost sacrificed herself. Now that she knows he's alive, she probably wants to be with him again no matter what." Zhou Zhuqing looked at him. "If she can safely give birth to the child, are you willing to let her go?"

Lin Chen didn't even hesitate and shook his head. "Of course not."

"You have so many women, what's the big deal about losing one?" Zhou Zhuqing couldn't understand.

Lin Chen snorted, "What's mine is mine. Others can't have it."

In fact, Zhou Zhuqing wanted to tell him that it originally belonged to someone else.

"Lu Qiu comes from a prestigious family. He is the eldest son of the second branch of the Lu family. He has a reputation and is rightfully with Zhou Yun'er. If you make a fuss about this, you won't be in the right," Zhou Zhuqing looked at him helplessly.
