    Summary

    She ran back into the house like a victorious general returning from battle, treasure in hand.

    Inside, Xie Zheng was moving slowly across the room with his crutch, enjoying what he believed to be a rare, fragile moment of peace—like a man standing under a tree, unaware that the sky had already begun to fall.

    “Look what I found!” Chang Ning announced.

    Xie Zheng turned.

    He saw it. And in that single, devastating moment, he experienced all five stages of regret in rapid succession: denial (that cannot be what I think it is), anger (who threw that out?!), bargaining (if I close my eyes, perhaps this isn’t happening), despair (this is happening), acceptance (this is how I die).

    “…Where did you find that?” he asked, his voice thin and brittle, like glass about to crack. Yesterday, he thought there wouldn't be anything more embarrassing than discussing kissing strategy with his five-year-old sister-in-law. Turned out that was just an appetiser.

    “Outside,” Chang Ning said cheerfully. “Is this why those men broke in?”

    (In which Chang Ning found the Art of Bedchamber Manual outside the Fan household)

    Summary

    When her sister and brother-in-law inform her that she’s going to be an aunt, Fan Changning is thrilled. Since Jiefu married into their family, surely he’s the one carrying the baby, right? But as the months go by, things don’t quite add up.

    Or, Fan Changning is a little confused, but she’s got the spirit.
