After uttering this, Su Ning turned to Su Bin with a concerned expression. “Third Brother, don’t be so thoughtless. I’ll go buy sour plums now. You need to take good care of Third Sister-in-law, okay?”
Su Bin couldn’t contain himself. “Sister, hold on!”
“I remember we’ve already bought plenty of sour plums. Why are we buying more?”
Su Ning argued, “If we don’t buy more now, what if we run out? What if Third Sister-in-law wants to eat more, and there’s none left? Third Brother, I don’t mean to criticize, but you’re being too stingy! Sour plums don’t cost much, and you’re telling me not to buy them!”
Su Bin didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh. He had to come up with a reason to stop his sister.
“Little Sister, you’ve misunderstood me. That’s not what I meant. I was thinking that we just arrived in Shanglin, and we’re not familiar with the area.
It’s risky for you to go out alone as a young girl.”
“Don’t inform Third Brother either. I’ll have the guards accompany you.”
“If you run into an unexpected situation, one or two guards won’t be enough to ensure your safety.”
“And if you take too many guards, won’t our home be more vulnerable without them protecting the family?”
“If you want sour plums, I’ll have them bought for you.”
After listening to Third Brother’s explanation, Su Ning pursed her lips in disagreement. “Third Brother, you’re wrong. I think the ones I bought are better. Third Sister-in-law prefers them!”
“Third Sister-in-law, am I right?”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled and nodded.
Su Bin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He asserted shamelessly, “Sister, you’re even more mistaken. If what you bought is better, did I buy it? It should be better than what you got.”
“Here’s the deal. You don’t have to bother about buying sour plums. I’ll handle it. It’s none of your concern.”
Su Ning promptly declared, “Then go ahead and buy them!”
“After Third Sister-in-law feels better, I’ll go get them!”
Qin Zhenzhen wanted to laugh at the siblings’ banter, but she restrained herself.
Observing Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, Su Ning suddenly realized that she might be unintentionally intruding on their affectionate relationship. “I… I’ll go back. The pillow I’m embroidering isn’t finished yet.”
Blushing, Su Ning turned and swiftly made her exit. As she fled, she reminded Su Bin, “Third Brother, don’t just say it. Remember to buy them!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.”
Once Su Ning was out of earshot, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Do you find it amusing? Watch how I’ll punish you!”
Su Bin playfully pretended to push Qin Zhenzhen down, but she quickly stopped him. “Don’t be impulsive. I’m pregnant!”
Earlier, while Su Bin and his sister were arguing, Qin Zhenzhen had taken her pulse and confirmed her suspicion. It was a happy pulse—she was indeed pregnant this time.
That’s what Qin Zhenzhen believed. In this ancient setting, considering their age, she and Su Bin were in their prime fertility period. As the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” She and Su Bin could now start a family.
She couldn’t determine if it was her imagination, but in this world, derived from a book, everything felt distinct from her previous reality.
The human structure and developmental stages here also appeared slightly different from her former world.
For instance, in the real world, a 15 or 16-year-old girl might still be considered childish, and a 17 or 18-year-old boy could be seen as an inexperienced youth.
Bearing children at too young an age could result in significant physical harm in the real world.
Yet, in this alternate reality, 15-year-old girls and 17-year-old boys were already established as mature individuals and even governors.
Whether it was in terms of physical or psychological maturity, they appeared remarkably advanced..
