The scorching sun burned like fire, and the earth was like a steaming basket, making it hard for people to breathe. Even by the evening, Xiang Wei was still sweating profusely.
Yueyao watched in the courtyard as she read the letter from Mingzhu. After reading the letter, Yueyao laughed and said, "Xiang Wei, Mingzhu is pregnant, over two months now." Mingzhu had wanted to write to Yueyao as soon as she found out about her pregnancy but was stopped by Niu Yanghui. Niu Yanghui felt that according to tradition, she had to wait until the three-month mark before telling others. It was believed that the child was fragile, and sharing the news too early could bring bad luck. The letter of good news was written by Mingzhu behind Niu Yanghui's back. Mingzhu wanted Yueyao to share in her joy.
