The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 298 - 189: A Joyful Surprise

"You don’t understand," said the old lady. "Perhaps, the two of you as a couple aren’t destined to have children, but Panpan has siblings in her fate, so this child is likely brought by Panpan."

"Yes, yes, Mother, I also think it’s very possible," Xia Guangcheng, ever skilled in climbing up the ladder, said. "Panpan is truly blessed. Ever since she came to the Xia family, everything I’ve done has gone smoothly, and the Emperor increasingly trusts me."

"That’s right. Since she came to the Xia Mansion, I’ve also felt more cheerful and healthy."

"Isn’t that so."

"Oh my, why are we still talking here? Let’s quickly go ask Mr. Wang what Yu’er should avoid and pay attention to."

Saying this, she didn’t bother with her son any longer and left in large strides.

Watching his mother’s figure, Xia Guangcheng seemed to see once more the General’s wife who fought alongside her husband at the border!

His mother was never an ordinary person!

Indeed, his Yu’er was not ordinary either.

People from the same family truly find themselves in the same home. There are many similarities between Mother and Yu’er, thus their relationship as mother- and daughter-in-law has always been harmonious.

Because of his well-intentioned lie, his mother almost had a grave misunderstanding about Yu’er.

This was his fault.

Thankfully, everything was explained in time.

However, there’s trouble at the moment.

Is Yu’er’s body really fit for childbirth?

Seeing his mother excitedly about to reward the servants, Xia Guangcheng hurriedly stopped her.

"What’s wrong, why not let them be rewarded?"

Mrs. Xia was puzzled.

The household’s joy brings happiness to the servants, and they are more diligent in their service.

"Mother, I heard it’s good to wait until the pregnancy is stable at three months before announcing the news."

"Yes, yes, look at me, how could I forget such an important thing," Mrs. Xia slapped her forehead. "I am indeed getting muddled. You’re right; let’s keep it a secret for now, the fewer who know, the better."

Mrs. Xia held onto Xiao Chunyu’s hand.

"Yu’er, you don’t have to think about anything. Starting today, I will manage the household affairs, and you don’t have to worry about Panpan. I will treat her as if she were my own; she will forever be the eldest young lady of the Zhao Mansion."

"Thank you, Mother."

What a surprise!

Xiao Chunyu had not come to terms with it yet; she actually became pregnant, pregnant with Xia Guangcheng’s child?

At that time, giving birth to Panpan had harmed her body, and the midwife and doctor both said she would be unable to give birth again.

Because of this, the Wu family used it as an excuse to take a concubine, and when she disagreed, they accused her of being jealous and divorced her.

The fact that Xiao Chunyu could not bear children was almost a widely known secret in the Capital. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Even so, Xia Guangcheng still married her.

Back then, she thought he was plotting against her.

But she didn’t expect that he was truly sincere.

After marrying him, her days with him were worlds apart from those with the Wu family; she received respect and affection.

Despite being older, Xia Guangcheng often called her "girl," and sometimes she felt dazed, as if she were Panpan’s age.

What touched her even more was that whether it was Xia Guangcheng or the old lady, they genuinely treated Panpan well. No one in the entire mansion looked down upon Panpan.

Some people treat you as insignificant, while others deem you as precious.

So, marrying someone and living with them can never be the same experience.

Upon detecting a slippery pulse, the old lady immediately took over the household management.

After more than a year of interaction, Xiao Chunyu already knew that the old lady was someone who disliked mundane affairs.

She was satisfied with her daughter-in-law and never interfered with her management.

Of course, Xiao Chunyu was not a petty person.

After taking charge of the household, she barely changed anyone under the old lady’s employ.

In any household, there are always one or two slippery servants, and Xiao Chunyu always reported to the old lady before handling them.

The old lady never showed favoritism, only instructing Xiao Chunyu to deal with them according to the rules.

The Xia Mansion is a family with rules, and those who do not abide by them are guilty no matter how they are dealt with.

Regardless of whether they are old or new, born into the household or purchased, there is no room for favor.

After dealing with a few troublesome servants, the staff all understood: the mistress of the Xia Mansion is the mistress, no one to be underestimated or offended.

Of course, serving well in the Xia Mansion offers great prospects.

Because the mistresses are always amiable, never resorting to harsh beating or scolding, they are fair and justified in rewards and punishments. Naturally, they cannot tolerate any sand in the eyes.

The rules are set; if you act foolishly, you cannot blame others.
