MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 132 winter pregnancy
Chapter 132 Winter Pregnancy
Mother Dou doesn’t want to cause any trouble when she is about to move. Otherwise, asking Mrs. Wei next door to cause trouble will not delay the auspicious day.
Du Jingyi also knew what she meant, so he smiled and said nothing more.
Two days later, the sky gradually darkened.
Lamps were lit one after another in Dongyuan, and Shang Jicai entered the gate of Xitang Courtyard with a chill in his eyes.
When I first came back, I didn’t go straight to the main house, but towards the penthouse.
His body was covered with either wind, snow or dust, so he naturally needed a good wash, otherwise, it would be too rough compared to the lady's fragrant and soft texture.
Hence, he rinsed in the ear room, which woke up Du Jingyi who was already asleep.
I don’t know whether it’s due to sleepiness in winter or changes in her body, but in short, she is sleeping more and more.
Sometimes, I sleep most of the day, as if I can’t get enough sleep.
Seeing this, Aunt Dou explained that this was normal, so Du Jingyi found an excuse to fall asleep.
And no one in the entire Xitang Courtyard commented.
After all, to the outside world, Du Jingyi is "recuperating", and there seems to be nothing wrong with sleeping every day.
Since returning from Du's house last month, she has not left the house and claimed to be ill.
Not just her, every one of the countless masters in Dongyuan was "sick", and it seemed as if they were infected.
The servants in Dongyuan were all trying to "cover it up" in a secretive manner, but the more they did so, the more strange and suspicious it made outsiders feel.
The first one to bear the brunt of it was the third-bedroom house still living in Beiyuan, and he was terribly frightened.
After all, to be honest, in the entire Guogong Mansion, the closest to Dongyuan is Beiyuan.
Moreover, there are more than ten members of their family living in this place, so it would be difficult to even turn over.
If he is really infected by these "sick young people" in Dongyuan, wouldn't it be difficult to spend the next two New Years?
So, I burned incense every day and begged Dongyuan to move out as soon as possible.
Perhaps then they can use the excuse that Beiyuan is too crowded and move to Dongyuan.
The abacus is well done, but it is of no use.
On the contrary, this move made Mrs. Wei, who was already preparing to take action, a little more confused.
Even though we know that they are mostly pretending to be sick, the purpose behind this is still unclear.
At this moment, Du Jingyi didn't have much time to care about other people's thoughts.
So he stood up sleepily and asked.
“But the general is back?”
Cherry heard the sound and walked up quickly, stuffed a pillow behind her, and replied respectfully.
“Well, the general is back and is washing up in the wing. I guess he should be fine by now.”
Their generals washed up so quickly that sometimes they ended up not even finishing a cup of tea.
But return quickly, but also carefully and conscientiously.
This point, Cherry has been waiting for for a while, and she can still figure it out clearly.
As expected, she brought warm water over and gave Du Jingyi a few sips. The door of the room was pushed open, but quickly closed again.
The person who walked in was Shang Ji who had already washed himself.
Hair is damp, but the chill on my body is no longer as cold as when I first came back.
The whole person looks more heroic than he did half a month ago.
It was windy and snowy, which made the journey back and forth very difficult. He was afraid of delaying his business, so Shang Ji didn't come back for several days.
The moment Du Jingyi saw him, he was surprised at first, and then suddenly his nose became sore for some unknown reason, and his tears were like broken beads, which immediately made Shang Ji look surprised.
He walked up quickly and asked worriedly.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" He raised his hand and touched her forehead, and found that the temperature was indeed slightly high.
And isn’t this the time for dinner?
Why is she still lying on the bed?
His anxious look made Du Jingyi feel even more heartbroken in his eyes, so he muttered something.
"I'm not sick. I just cry and laugh sometimes these days. I can't seem to control my emotions. But I asked Aunt Dou and she said it's normal."
Shang Ji obviously didn't believe this.
He couldn't control his emotions and said it was normal, so he immediately gave orders to Cherry.
“Let’s ask Dr. Guo from Bencaotang to consult Madam.”
Cherry looked at his wife with some embarrassment. They didn't want to spread the word, so they didn't know what to do.
Seeing her embarrassment, Du Jingyi pulled Shang Ji's sleeve and said to help Ying Tao.
"No need, it's nothing serious. Cherry, please go down first. I have something to say to the general."
“Yes, young lady.”
Cherry naturally knew what the young lady was going to do, so she hurried out with the corner of her mouth raised.
The general's journey was full of dust, and he probably hadn't eaten yet, so she went to ask Dan Ruo to prepare some good wine and food. It was a good day to celebrate!
Shang Ji caught a glimpse of her excited steps as she left.
So I felt very strange why he hadn't returned home for half a month and seemed to be a little different.
Looking at the lady's face, she couldn't say she was okay, but it didn't look like she was sick, so she asked after Cherry went out.
“But because of Mrs. Wei’s affairs, you pretended to be sick again?”
Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded, but then shook his head, which made Shang Ji even more surprised.
"What's the meaning?"
“It’s true that I’m pretending to be sick, but it’s also true that I’m not feeling well. That’s why I nod and shake my head.”
“If you’re not feeling well, you’re still sick.”
After saying this, he seemed to suddenly think of something and said immediately.
"Are you having abdominal pain? I asked the kitchen to bring you a bowl of brown sugar water. I heard that drinking that is good for women with menstrual syndrome."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi was a little shocked.
“How did the general know?”
“I once saw my third uncle in the army personally preparing a bowl for my aunt, so...”
When he talked about caring for his family this time, he was not as sad as before. He might have been talking about something obscure, so he was a little embarrassed.
However, this made Du Jingyi laugh again.
"The general has misunderstood. I didn't send you a monthly letter, but I haven't received a monthly letter for almost two months."
not coming?
meaning is…
The first thought that flashed through Shang Ji's mind was that her body was running out of energy and blood, which was why she was like this.
But looking left and right, it didn’t seem to look the same, so I slowly came back to my senses.
His eyes went from confusion to disbelief. It was not until he saw the smile in Du Jingyi's eyes that he became convinced.
Hand swallowed slightly, his tongue was a little knotted.
“Are you pregnant?”
Du Jingyi smiled and nodded, and then explained.
"I felt unwell a few days ago, so I asked Grandma Dou to find a reliable doctor from outside to see her. She said that she was almost two months pregnant. She originally wanted to report it to the general, but she was afraid that there would be someone in the middle. Make trouble, that’s why I waited until today.”
