SWNOVELS Chapter 13
"What?" Tao Jinjing looked to Fen Qin who was obviously not lying. "What did you say?" Fen Qin didn't even understand why that woman didn't even know she was pregnant.
"Your at most three months. You could die, but don't let the child die with you. It has a choice to live or not. Do not drag it with you. It's unfair to the child." Fen Qin was about to leave the room. "Wait! Your saying that... my sister is pregnant." Jiang Gen wanted a clear answer to make his mind more clear.
"En, she was lucky that were immortals. The poison she took did not affect the child much, but it affects the mother most. Your lucky that I had the antidote for your little man made poison." Fen Qin looked to Tao Jinjing who was shocked not even knowing that she was as pregnant.
She started crying more, rubbing her belly that didn't exactly have a bump yet. "Mother is sorry. Mother is so sorry. She didn't even know you existed." Tao Jinjing kept apologizing while rubbing her belly.
"I will have to tell you that since you took the poison then you will have to remain here." Fen Qin advised since it wasn't safe to leave her on her own. "She needs a bit of a different place to recuperate. Along with all the medicine and herbs to heal."
"Thank you. I will surely pay you back for all of this." Jiang Gen was about to take out his pouch with money.
"No need. I have no use for money. Let's just say I'm doing this for the child. I only wish that she does not harm the child again like this. Just because her lover is gone does not mean that she should be rash about dying." Fen Qin left the room, being exhausted since she hadn't deal with such a situation in a long time. 'This is why I hate helping immortals of all kind.'
"Fen Qin, do you want another tray of food?" Zeng Mingzhu has gone out earlier to make extra nutritious food for the Tao Jinjing.
"No need. Have food prepared for our guests." Fen Qin went into her room.

"Sister Jinjing, please do not do this again." Jiang Gen didn't want the same mistake to happen mostly when he nearly lost his future niece or nephew.
"I have something to tell you both." Xue Yahui caught their attention. "Jiang Gen, your older brother may still be alive."
"How do you know?" Tao Jinjing was desperate to know if her husband was still alive or not.
"Since his body was never found
then he could still be alive. They had
taken a different route that time which I assume they would have been likely, ambushed. I am currently still trying to find any clues that can lead to the disappearance of the few missing people. Only certain people went missing which does not seem right." Xue Yahui told the two who were unsure. Jiang Gen went to Xue Yahui and got onto his knees. "Hey?! You don-"
"Lord Xue, will you accept me at your personal guard and servant?" Jiang Gen wanted to work alongside Xue Yahui. He had been nothing, but kind and nice toward them. Even going as far as to finding all of the information about his older brother. He wanted to repay him back by being his personal guard.
Xue Yahui smiled knowing how he couldn't exactly change Jiang Gen's mind now. Letting Jiang Gen get up, "Alright, you will be appointed as my personalguard and servant. I will be looking forward to working with you. Jiang Gen smiled knowing that he could actually with work someone who was true to their words. Even Tao Jinjing was happy that there was someone looking into the case of her missing husband.
*Knock* *Knock*
They heard the door, it opened up with a woman with tawny brown hair and light salmon eyes. "Here's the meals. Please be sure to eat all of it. Fen Qin has asked me to manage your meals so please do not hesitate to ask me what you need."
"Thank you. Thank you very much." Tao Jinjing looked to Zeng Mingzhu who walked over to her. Setting the plates onto a little food stand in front of Tao Jinjing on the bed. Jiang Gen froze on the other hand looking to Zeng Mingzhu.
"Hey, who is she?" Jiang Gen asked Xue Yahui who didn't understand why he was asking.
"I don't know. Just met her today, I didn't even get her name since we were in a rushing pace. Just ask her yourself." Xue Yahui pushed Jiang Gen to ask instead of him.
"Umm... uh..." Jiang Gen was at loss for words since he may have actually met his fated one. Looking down to see how beautiful the young woman was.
Zeng Mingzhu shook a bit when people rose their hands up since she had a traumatic past. She had shut her eyes once Jiang Gen rose his hand a bit. "Please do refrain from touching my maid. She is still in recovering as well." Fen Qin sensed Zeng Mingzhu was a bit distressed which had her appear.
"F-Fen Qin???" Zeng Mingzhu looked to see Fen Qin in front of her. "S-Sorry."
"Zeng Mingzhu you do not need to apologize. You still have yet to recover." Fen Qin had Zeng Mingzhu follow her out of the room leaving the food for Tao Jinjing.
"Recover???" Jiang Gen felt bothered by what Fen Qin had said which he wanted to go out and know what had happened.
"Hey!" Xue Yahui held Jiang Gen's
should and shook his head. "Leave it right now. With time you can get used to her, but right now she is recovering. You can just talk to her for now. Just don't touch her of her law fen Qin can even kick you and your sister-in-law out." Xue Yahui pointed out which Jiang Gen held himself back from doing anything foolish.
"Gen, as a woman. Just give them time. I will help you since you've always helped me." Tao Jinjing figured that it was about time he finally met his fated one.
