They sailed on the sea for a few days. The heavens were on their side and everything had been calm.
Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan, and the others boarded a huge ship the size of three to four pleasure boats. They sailed on deep water and sailed steadily. This was undoubtedly a good thing for the pregnant Yu Wan.
If it was too fast and bumpy, she would get seasick.
The weather gradually became a little hot, but the sea breeze was very comfortable. Yu Wan stood on the deck and looked at the endless deep sea.
âMadam, itâs too hot here.â A maidservant walked over with an oil paper umbrella and placed it on Yu Wanâs head.
This maidservant was called Pingâer. She was brought up by the three bosses before she boarded the ship. They said that her body was inconvenient and it was good to have another maidservant serve her.
Pingâer was petite and could barely be considered delicate and pretty. In the crowd, she might not be noticed at a glance, but she was an expert. Other than
Fu Ling and Zi Su, she was the most suitable maidservant she had ever used.
âHow old are you this year?â Yu Wan asked.
âIâm seventeen,â Pingâer said.
Yu Wan murmured, âSeventeen, itâs time to get married.â Fu Ling and Zi Su were also seventeen. When they returned to the Helian Manor in Nanzhao, she would arrange a marriage for them.
âIâm not getting married,â Pingâer said.
âHuh?â Yu Wan looked at her in confusion.
Pingâer whispered, âI want to serve Madam for the rest of my life.â
Yu Wan burst into laughter.
Pingâer was a little stunned. She had really not seen a little fatty that was so beautiful for a long time. However, her words just now were sincere. Her family was poor and she had been sold to the docks to work since she was young. She had done all kinds of dirty and tiring work. She had served several masters, but none of them was as good-tempered and temperamental as Madam.
Madam was generous and the clothes she rewarded her were all new.
Occasionally, when she did something wrong, Madam would not beat or scold her. It would be best if she could serve such a master for the rest of her life.
âYouâ¦â Yu Wan smiled and looked at the endless sea.â I came from a very far place. If you follow me, you wonât be able to go home anymore.â
If not for the sake of finding the whereabouts of the Sorcerer King, she would never have passed by the Jade Nation in her life.
âAhâ¦â Pingâer was shocked.
Yu Wan smiled and untied her cloak. âItâs hot from the sun. Letâs go back.â
âYes, Madam!â Pingâer changed the umbrella in her left hand to her right and supported Yu Wan towards the room.
After taking a few steps, Yu Wan heard a row of familiar laughter, as if someone was laughing like a pig with their hands on their hips. She stopped in her tracks.
That laughter was gone again.
âMadam, whatâs wrong?â Pingâer sensed her strangeness and asked with concern, âAre you feeling unwell? Do you want me to invite Doctor Cui?â
âThereâs no need,â Yu Wan said. She wasnât feeling unwell. Moreover, even if she was feeling unwell, she was a doctor herself. There was no need for Divine Doctor Cui to treat a small illness.
Yu Wan looked in the direction of the laughter. It seemed to be coming from a room at the stern.
âWho lives there?â She pointed to the room.
âMadam, which room are you asking about?â Pingâer said as she looked in the direction she was pointing.
âJust⦠those rooms.â She couldnât tell which room the laughter came from.
Pingâer stood on her tiptoes and looked around. âA few of them are for guests. The few rooms Madam pointed at seem to belong to the first, second, and third bosses. â
âIâm thinking too much.â Yu Wan sighed and thought to herself that she had probably been blown by the sea wind for too long and had an illusion. How could her Mom and the three little fellows follow her to the sea? They and her great-grandpa had gone to Nanzhao. At this moment, they had probably already moved into the Helian Manor to share the joy of family with Old
Madam, Eldest Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin Sheng.
âI miss them too much,â Yu Wan said.
Pinger blinked in confusion. What was Madam talking about? Who was she thinking about?
Yu Wan did not say anything else. She walked towards her and Yan Jiuchaoâs room. However, after taking a few steps, she heard that sound again. This time, Yu Wan could not take it anymore. She turned around so quickly that Pingâer broke out in cold sweat for her!
Madam! Youâre pregnant! Can you not be so agitated!
When Yu Wan arrived at the rooms, the sound was long gone. She pushed open the door of the first room and the third boss looked at her in confusion. She pushed open the door to the second room and Second Boss looked at her in confusion.
There was only one room left.
Yu Wan took a deep breath and reached out to push the door open. In the end, she saw the boss sitting on a stool, holding a half-eaten chicken drumstick. In front of him was a large table of delicious foodâred braised pork, braised pork knuckle, braised duck, crispy chicken, steamed crab⦠There was everything.
The boss swallowed his saliva, grabbed an untouched drumstick, and handed it to Yu Wan. âW-want one?â
âSorry to disturb you.â Yu Wan bowed slightly and left. As soon as she left, three chubby hands reached out from under the table and grabbed three drumsticks!
Boom!
The door opened again!
The Boss was still holding a half-eaten drumstick, but there were a few drumsticks missing from his plate.
Yu Wanâs strange gaze landed on the plate that was mostly empty in an instant. As if sensing Yu Wanâs suspicion, the Boss immediately grabbed a braised chicken finger that was stewed until it was mushy and performed a show for
Yu Wan.
Yu Wan cleared her throat. âSorry to disturb you.â
âMadam.â When she saw Yu Wan come out of the Bossâs room for the second time, Pingâerâs expression was even stranger than hers. Those who didnât know better would think that Madam wanted to capture the Boss.
âLetâs go.â Yu Wan completely gave up this time. She must have missed Mom and the little fellows too much that she had heard wrongly. It was impossible for them to follow her here, let alone let the bosses cover for them.
Although Yu Wan returned to her room with all her heart, she could not return in the end. Just as she walked out of the aisle, a figure suddenly rushed towards her. Seeing that he was about to collide with her and Pingâer, she pushed Pingâer to the side and used the force to lean against the wall on the other side.
The figure bumped between them.
âMadam, are you alright?â Pingâer, who had dodged a disaster, immediately reached out to support Yu Wan. Unexpectedly, a few more figures bumped into her.
âAhââ Pingâer screamed and let go of Yu Wanâs hand, taking a few steps back.
When the group of people whistled past, Pingâer stomped her feet angrily. âWhat are you doing? Arenât you afraid of bumping into people when you barge around on the ship? Madam, are you alright?â She held Yu Wanâs arm.
Yu Wan shook her head. âIâm fine, butââ
As she spoke, she looked at the group of people running towards the deck.
âThat kid seems to have something on.â
âWhich kid?â Pingâer asked in confusion.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud thud. Right on the heels of that, someone shouted, âSomeone fell into the water! Stop the boat! Someone fell into the water!â
Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six jumped into the water. The two of them grabbed a pair of arms underwater and rushed up! When they placed him on the deck, they realized that it was not Yu Wan, but a handsome young man.
âAhâ¦â Shadow Six was stunned.
The place where the young man fell into the water just now was where Yu Wan often went to bask in the sun. When the two of them heard the sound of water, they flashed out immediately. Those who did not see Yu Wan thought that she had fallen into the water.
âHmph.â Shadow Six let go of the youthâs arm in disdain.
Shadow Thirteen stood up expressionlessly. This commotion attracted many guests to watch. Everyone surrounded the three of them and sized them up curiously.
âMadam, Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six,â Pingâer said as she pointed at the two handsome men.
âLetâs go take a look.â Yu Wan walked over indifferently.
She had been taken care of by the bosses on the ship, and the sailors already understood that her identity was not simple. The moment she appeared, the crowd automatically made way for her.
When Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six saw her, they cupped their hands and bowed. âYoung Madam.â
âMm.â Yu Wan nodded and looked at the unconscious young man.
Shadow Six muttered, âWe were scared to death. We thought Young Madam fell into the water⦠Where did this kid come from? Why did he fall into the water?â
Pinger recalled and said, âSomeone seemed to be chasing after him just now. He fell into the water because he was frightened, right?â
The men at the back of the crowd exchanged glances. They suppressed their desire to kill and turned to retreat into the room.
Yu Wan retracted her peripheral vision that was paying attention to them. She reached out and tore the young manâs clothes. She pressed her hands on his chest and hydraulic pressure accumulated in his chest.
After spitting out a few mouthfuls of saliva, the young man opened his eyes weakly. He had tender skin and delicate features, making him look like an elegant and beautiful young man.. However, when they saw his eyes clearly, the surrounding sailors all gasped!
