Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 457 - 456: Expecting

"Isn’t the young lady pregnant?" Lian Qiu said, "When my previous mistress was pregnant, she was like this, drowsy and liked to eat."

"Pregnant?" Shen Qinglan was puzzled.

Shen Qingju instinctively touched her belly, then murmured, "But... I don’t have morning sickness!"

Shen Qinglan tilted her head and asked, "Sister, how long has it been since your last period?"

"This..."

Shen Qingju was stunned, then suddenly shocked, "If I think about it carefully, it seems I haven’t had it since we arrived in the Capital."

Shen Qinglan: ...

Your mind is really big, you didn’t even notice...

"We arrived in the Capital in mid-August, and it’s now November. Sister, you really are..."

She didn’t know what to say.

"Ever since arriving in the Capital, every day has been about playing, eating, and drinking. I didn’t pay attention to these things."

Shen Qingju’s voice trembled slightly, "But, I don’t have morning sickness!"

"Maybe it’s different for everyone?" Shen Qinglan said, "Not everyone has morning sickness, right?"

Shen Qingju took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart, "Let’s wait for the doctor to check first!"

"Alright! So, sister, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Shen Qinglan was also a bit nervous, as she had never cared for a pregnant woman before.

"No!" Shen Qingju said, "I feel pretty good."

Her feelings were complicated, both expecting and fearing; hoping it was true, yet afraid it was just a moment of happiness.

Xi Chun softly advised, "Being pregnant is a huge joyous event, young lady doesn’t need to be nervous." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Shen Qingju said, "I-I’m not nervous!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, her voice trembling, and she said she wasn’t nervous.

"Don’t laugh!" Shen Qingju glared at her, "Maybe you’ll be even more nervous when it’s your turn."

"Me?" Shen Qinglan smiled softly, "I’m still a long way off."

Shen Qingju snorted coldly but said no more.

After sitting for about half an hour, Nian Xia and Rong De finally brought the doctor in.

Xi Chun quickly helped Shen Qingju sit aside, and brought over a low stool for the doctor to sit on.

After taking her pulse, the doctor stroked his beard and laughed, "Congratulations, madam, you are pregnant!"

"Really pregnant?" Shen Qingju looked at Shen Qinglan, dumbfounded.

"It is indeed a happy pulse." The old doctor laughed, "From the pulse, it looks like more than two months."

Shen Qinglan glanced at Shen Qingju, whose eyes were now red, then looked at the doctor, "Thank you, doctor, for braving the wind and snow to come. Please have a seat in the next room and enjoy a cup of hot tea to warm up before you return."

She called out towards the door, "Butler Rong, please escort the doctor to rest a while."

"Yes!"

Rong De came in and led the doctor out of the Warm Pavilion.

"Qinglan, am I really pregnant?"

Shen Qingju asked softly, clutching Shen Qinglan’s hand.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Congratulations, sister!"

Shen Qinglan was still very expectant about the unborn nephew or niece.

The young maidservants all chimed in, "Congratulations, young lady!"

Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Dong, "Fu Dong, go to the kitchen and ask Aunt Zhou what foods pregnant women should avoid, and have her make something delicious for the young lady."

"Yes!"

As Fu Dong left, Shen Qinglan looked at Lian Qiu, "Lian Qiu, you have cared for a pregnant woman before, so from now on, you and Xi Chun will look after the young lady’s daily needs."

The two quickly responded affirmatively.

Piao Xue said, "I can help take care of the young lady too!"

Si Yun and Xing Yu both eagerly said, "I can too!"

Shen Qinglan smiled, "Alright, then all of you take good care of the young lady."
