Mei Yingxue is pregnant.
In the six months following the extermination of the great serpent Yamata-no-Orochi, the world experienced its first post-war baby boom.
The large population that had been relocated to the mysterious realm now had many returning to Lu Country, settling down, with marriage and birth rates significantly rising.
As for Mei Yingxue's pregnancy, it clearly had nothing to do with the post-war baby boom. In fact, she still hasn't revealed who the father of the child is.
The most suspect was obviously Yan Yu, but Mei Yingxue flatly denied it, and it was well-known that Mr. Mei had a straightforward character disdaining lies.
Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to uncover the truth. She gathered everyone and held a meeting.
"How many months along is the child in her belly?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked the group.
"Four months," Ye Jun replied, "I saw her previous pregnancy test report."
"Counting back four months, where was she at the time?" Zhao Yuanzhen continued to ask.
