Chapter 221 Leaving Again_3

The golden honey peaches on the trees gradually blushed and turned translucent with ripeness. There weren't many peaches, and they were not for sale. Aside from consuming them at home, a few were gifted to the Wan family, the little monk, the Zhang family, and Shopkeeper Cui. Old man Qian and his wife also tasted one, similarly deemed an offering fruit. They dared not give any to Steward Wong, mainly for fear that Fourth Master Song might not find the peaches sufficient and then decide to dig up these few peach trees.

Another significant matter was that Cheng Yue's monthly period was delayed. Her menstrual cycle was usually very regular, around the fifth or sixth day of each month, which Yixiu had come to know after living with her. However, this month, her period had not arrived by mid-month.

Qian Yixiu could not be certain that Cheng Yue was definitely pregnant. Both excitement and sorrow could cause a delayed period.
