The Eunuch is Pregnant [2]

Chapter 265: Hidden embarrassing illness

Most people from the number one manor house were somewhat aware of Le Yao Yao's sobbing incident. After all, before her return, Dongfang Jing had already done all his research.

He was aware that his daughter was a widow and lost her unofficial husband several years ago.

Dongfang Jing and Fang Ru Xin both knew that Le Yao Yao had a hard time letting go. She didn't want to begin any other relationships and they respected her decision.

So, no one mentioned a word about that night.

Days calmly went by. Everyday, Le Yao Yao would wake up and bring Leng Yi Xuan to have breakfast with everyone. After socializing for a bit, she would return to plum blossom court to practice her martial arts. Leng Yi Xuan would be taken care of by the old lady monarch.

The Dongfang Clan was a bit worried. Dongfang Bai was actually the 9th generation, but they only had one male that was carrying on the family tree per generation. Dongfang Bai was the representative for this generation, but he was already 26 years of age, yet unmarried.

As a result, both the old lady monarch and Fang Ru Xin were delighted that they had a grandson/great grandson because of Le Yao Yao!!

Naturally, Le Yao Yao was pleased that her son was so well loved. Their attentiveness towards Leng Yi Xuan gave her more time to focus on her martial arts.

Sometimes, when Le Yao Yao wasn't practicing martial arts, she would take a walk with a maidservant around the manor house.

Or perhaps, she would take a look at different herbs and learn about their usage.

After all, since she was from the Dongfang Clan, she must know some pharmacology. Or else, she will cause her family to lose face.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed by.

Today, Le Yao Yao was learning from the housekeeper. Suddenly, a pretty girl bounced in her direction. "Sister Yao Yao, let's go play! I heard there's an event down the mountains tonight. Every household will be releasing sky lanterns to make their wishes! Why don't we go check it out?"

Le Yao Yao lifted her head from the pile of herbs and smiled at Qi Ying Ying. Ever since she had arrived here, Ying Ying often came to spend time with her. Le Yao Yao liked Ying Ying's personality. She was lively and cute. It was as if she was born without problems. Ying Ying reminded her of her younger self.

In a matter of days, they had gotten very close. Le Yao Yao treated Ying Ying as a younger sister.

Now, seeing Ying Ying's hopeful pupils made Le Yao Yao feel conflicted. She gazed at Ying Ying and then at the herbs in her hands. "Today, I'm learning from the housekeeper. How about next time?"

"No! Sister Yao Yao, today is annual event! The sky lantern festival only takes place once a year! People write their wishes on their lanterns and pray that it will come true. Sources say that if you do it tonight, your wishes will become a reality!" Qi Ying Ying exclaimed.

"If it's as simple as you say, no one in this world would be suffering."

At one point, she used to believe in these superstitions as well.

She kept praying to the Buddha in hopes that it will bring Yu back in her life. She tried everything that people said were effective.

But again and again, she was faced with disappointment. Hence, Le Yao Yao gave up on all hope and no longer had any faith.
