Wang Huilan nodded. She was looking forward to it and couldn’t wait to know the results.

Liu Zijin said to Wang Huilan, “Madam, bring Xiaolu to drink some tea. I’ll bring them to the study for a chat. We must discuss the article with them this time.”

They often exchanged letters. Liu Zijin knew that Su Hua and Zhou Heng had made extraordinary progress. Along the way, they had to discuss articles properly.

Wang Huilan knew Liu Zijin well and knew that he had been waiting for this day for a long time, so she naturally agreed.

Su Hua looked at Su Xiaolu. Before he could speak, Su Xiaolu waved her hand and said, “Go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”

Liu Zijin cupped her hands at Su Xiaolu and said, “Xiaolu, thank you.”

Su Xiaolu waved her hand and turned to ask Wang Huilan, “Have you stopped taking the medicine?”

Liu Zijin and Wang Huilan smiled and led Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng over.

Wang Huilan’s expression was gentle as she answered Su Xiaolu’s question softly, “It’s been stopped for four months.”

“He said that I don’t have to lose weight anymore. The doctor also said that my body is very healthy now, so I stopped eating it.”

She had stopped taking that medicine. She had also seen a doctor. She had stopped when she knew she was in good health.

Wang Huilan looked at Su Xiaolu, pursed her lips, and asked, “Xiaolu, can I get pregnant now?”

Thinking of a child, Wang Huilan blushed slightly. During this period of time, Mother Liu had also hinted to her that it was time for her and Liu Zijin to have a child.

Wang Huilan also wanted to, but she had stopped taking the contraceptive medicine and hadn’t gotten pregnant in the past two months.

Su Xiaolu said calmly, “I’ll take your pulse later. You look good now. You should be fine.”

Wang Huilan’s face was rosy and full of vitality. From the looks of it, Su Xiaolu knew she was very healthy. She would definitely be able to have a healthy child when she got pregnant.

Wang Huilan’s face turned even redder.

When they reached the courtyard, Wang Huilan got a maidservant to prepare some snacks and tea.

Su Xiaolu took Wang Huilan’s pulse. Wang Huilan’s wrist was more than half as slender.

She was a little chubby but not fat. Her figure was very healthy, and her nails were red. She looked very cute.

After taking her pulse, Su Xiaolu said, “Your body is very good. There are no more problems. If you want to be a mother, you can do it at any time. However, when you’re pregnant, you have to take care of your body. Don’t eat much. Eat normally. It’s best if you eat frequent meals and eat less each time. You can get another doctor to tell you about the other taboos during pregnancy.”

There was no problem with Wang Huilan’s body. If nothing went wrong, she could also unlock Liu Zijin’s acupuncture points.

Hearing that there was nothing wrong with her body, Wang Huilan had a question between her eyebrows. She looked at Su Xiaolu and finally asked, “I-I’ve actually stopped taking contraceptives for three months, but there’s been no news. Will it be difficult for my body to get pregnant?”

Wang Huilan was puzzled, and Su Xiaolu was surprised. “You took contraceptives?”

Liu Zijin’s acupuncture points had been sealed. There was no need for Wang Huilan to take any contraceptives. Contraceptives were harmful to the body.

Su Xiaolu reached out and grabbed Wang Huilan’s hand. She asked, “Contraceptives are harmful to the body. There’s no residual poison in your body. You don’t look like you’re taking contraceptives. Besides, you don’t have to take contraceptives. Liu Zijin asked me to seal his acupuncture points last time. As long as I don’t unlock them, you won’t be able to conceive.”

“Strange, why isn’t it poisonous? Liu Zijin really doesn’t believe in my medical skills!”

Su Xiaolu could not tell that Wang Huilan was taking contraceptives and was very puzzled. She did not notice that Wang Huilan’s expression was a little abnormal.

After confirming that Wang Huilan’s body was not harmed, Su Xiaolu let go of Wang Huilan’s hand and said, “Can you show me the contraceptives you took?”

Wang Huilan nodded in a daze. “Sure, I’ll go get it.”

Wang Huilan quickly went to the house and took out a small jar. She handed a black pill to Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu took it and sniffed it. She said to Wang Huilan, who was in a daze, “These aren’t contraceptives. It’s made of cloud ginseng. It’s usually used to nourish the body.”

If it was not contraceptives, Su Xiaolu would not be conflicted. She knew that she could not be wrong.

When Su Xiaolu noticed Wang Huilan again, she realized that she was crying.

Su Xiaolu was speechless.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Su Xiaolu asked in confusion why she suddenly cried.

Wang Huilan looked at Su Xiaolu’s puzzled gaze with teary eyes. She smiled and wiped her tears as she said, “I’m sorry for scaring you.”

She didn’t want to cry either. She just thought that Liu Zijin had done such a big thing for her but she didn’t know. She had many emotions in her heart at this moment. She was touched and happy.

Her contraceptives nourished her body. This was Liu Zijin’s silent love for her.

“Xiaolu, when did he find you to seal his acupuncture points? Will it be fine after you undo it?”

After calming down, Wang Huilan asked Su Xiaolu seriously.

Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Huilan and realized why she was so emotional.

She didn’t expect Wang Huilan to not know about this.

But seeing how touched Wang Huilan was, Su Xiaolu felt that Liu Zijin was very smart. This damn deep love.

Su Xiaolu told Wang Huilan seriously, “It was when we were at Madam Yin’s house that time. It’s not difficult to undo. I’ll just insert a few more needles into him and unseal him. After that, there won’t be any problems. Your body has recovered. Perhaps he’ll ask me to unseal his sealed acupuncture points in the next two days.”

Wang Huilan nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Su Xiaolu replied calmly, “No need.”

It was just a favor.

Wang Huilan arranged a place for Su Xiaolu to stay, so Su Xiaolu went over to rest.

Liu Zijin, Su Chong, and the others discussed the article. Unknowingly, the sky turned dark, and everyone was unsatisfied. However, it was already late and it was time to rest.

After dinner and settling Su Chong and the others down to rest, Liu Zijin returned to the courtyard.

He drank some wine and realized that Wang Huilan was still awake. He walked over and gently wrapped his arms around her. He asked in a low and hoarse voice, “Madam, why aren’t you asleep? I was so happy today that I forgot the time. You don’t have to wait for me.”

Wang Huilan’s eyes were slightly red. Hearing Liu Zijin’s gentle tone, tears fell.

“Hubby, are you hiding something from me?”

Wang Huilan held back her tears and asked.

Liu Zijin pondered for a moment and said, “I’ve thought about it carefully. I can’t remember what I’m hiding from you. Huilan, what are you talking about?”

Liu Zijin held Wang Huilan’s hand and pulled her towards the house. He realized that Wang Huilan had her head lowered. He reached out and raised Wang Huilan’s chin. Seeing that Wang Huilan’s face was covered in tears, Liu Zijin was no longer drunk, he panicked and asked anxiously, “Lan, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Can you tell me? I’m worried about you. I don’t know the reason. My heart is in a mess.”
