Pregnant
Shen Xinyan's eyes widened, almost wondering if she heard it wrong.
"Congratulations madam, congratulations madam, madam is pregnant again!" Chunliu was overjoyed and congratulated repeatedly.
"Mother, give me a younger brother! I will definitely take good care of him." Wei Yingzhi frowned with joy.
Wei Junhang, who had become more stable in recent years, rubbed his palms and looked at her excitedly, as if he wanted to go up and say something to her, but looking at his daughter and Chunliu who were present, he never took a step forward.
Shen Xinyan caressed her abdomen, and after a long time, a faint smile slowly bloomed.
This child came so suddenly, when she was completely unprepared, it just came so suddenly.
Are you uneasy? In fact, there are still some. Although she has been a mother for many years, she is still not sure of being a good mother, and she is not sure of raising this child well.
However, she could not ignore the joy in her heart. No woman would refuse the arrival of her own flesh and blood, and so did she.
And Wei Yingzhi, who couldn't hold back for a long time, ran out in a hurry, and told Yunfu and the others waiting outside the great news that she was about to be promoted to sister.
Chunliu also couldn't wait to announce the good news to the Eldest Princess.
But after a while, only Wei Junhang and Shen Xinyan were left in the room.
"Ma'am, this is really great. I didn't expect that we could add a younger brother or sister to Brother Lin and Yinger." Wei Junhang sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, his voice trembling slightly with excitement .
Shen Xinyan pursed her lips, just looked at him and smiled. For a moment, thinking of his own age, he felt a little shy again: "It's really old when you're so old and you're pregnant."
Wei Junhang laughed, with an expression of indescribable satisfaction: "No matter what they say, they must be extremely envious."
Shen Xinyan was infected by his laughter, and the smile on her lips became more and more charming.
The husband and wife looked at me and I looked at you, both smiling silly.
With a smile, Shen Xinyan couldn't help but think of Wei Chenglin, she frowned slightly, held Wei Junhang's hand instead, and said softly: "I will always keep this child by my side and raise him, and I will never allow anyone to hold him away from my side .”
Wei Junhang was stunned, and instantly understood that she had thought of the fact that the old father took away the eldest son back then, and couldn't help feeling a little sorry in his heart, and then said firmly: "It's only natural, you are his mother, no one else can take him away by your side."
Shen Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "However, I am a little worried that I can't teach him well. You also know that brother Lin is taught by his father to pee, and he doesn't spend much time with me..."
The more she talked, the more uneasy she became, and the more she talked, the more she felt that she was not sure of teaching this child well.
"... If, if in the future he, he..."
"Don't worry, there is me too! I am also his father, so I naturally have to bear the responsibility of being a father. How can I push everything on you. Let us raise this child together and watch him grow up slowly How about a man who grows up to be not inferior to his own brother?" Wei Junhang said softly.
Shen Xinyan stared at him blankly, meeting his gentle face, for some reason, the inner anxiety dissipated a lot.
"...Okay, this child, let's raise him together and watch him grow up slowly." After a long time, she nodded gently.
Wei Junhang smiled and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek.
"That's how it should be. How can it be the mother's responsibility to raise children? At least my wife will let me be a strict father."
When Shen Xinyan heard it, she burst out laughing with a 'puchi' and gave him a nasty look.
She doesn't believe that this Duke, who is not afraid of the children in the whole family, can be a strict father. She is afraid that it will be herself who will make the bad face, and this person will be responsible for coaxing the children to smile.
The news of the Duke's wife's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the mansion. The Eldest Princess was overjoyed, and decided on the spot to give an extra month's money to the servants in the mansion, and another month to the servants of the Funing Court. beaming.
Fang, who also got the news, almost smashed the white celadon teacup in his hand, but Taozhi caught it quickly, thinking that it was dangerous.
"God is so unfair, so unfair..." Fang muttered with trembling lips, her eyes gradually turned red.
She had just arranged a good marriage for her daughter on one side, and Shen Xinyan on the other side was overjoyed, it was clear that she had to overwhelm her in everything. If she gave birth to another son, it would be even more difficult for the eldest son to regain the title.
Taozhi secretly sighed.
What's the use of blaming God when things have come to this? If she said, it's better to live her own life well. Although the fourth son is not as good as the eldest son, he is always a smart child who is easy to train. Are you afraid that he will not have a good future in the future
Besides, Grandpa Guo and Eldest Young Master are not that shallow-sighted, so they may not be able to help Fourth Young Master in the future.
If I can live a good life, why bother to fight for the hopeless title
But she just said these words in her heart. In the past few years, Fang has been stunned like a demon, and she can't hear such words anymore. It's not easy for her to go beyond the rules as a servant.
She thought that maybe in a few days, she would have to find another way out. Qiutang, who was about her age, had already become a mother, but her life's major events had never been settled.
With pregnancy, Shen Xinyan had to let go of many things for the time being. All the affairs in the house were handed over to Fang Shi and Yang Shi. Anyway, these two people looked down on each other and restrained each other. She was not afraid of anyone stumbling her .
As for her businesses, they are already on the right track, and she doesn't need to think about it.
Therefore, she is now wholeheartedly focused on getting pregnant.
The juniors headed by Wei Yingzhi were full of curiosity about her belly, and they would come over every day to watch, to see if the little doll inside had grown up and when it would come out.
Even Yunfu ran to the Duke's Mansion when he had free time, and as time passed, he didn't even bother to go back to his own Hou's Mansion, and came directly from the Imperial College to the Duke's Mansion.
Concubine Rui in the palace soon got the news, and she was rewarded a lot.
On this day, Xu Sumin, who had been out of town to inspect the business for more than a month, also came. As soon as she sat down, she stared at her stomach for a long time, and then sighed: "Your family's father-in-law is really old and strong, you should not be underestimated!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! He is younger than you, why is he old!" Shen Xinyan said angrily.
"Tsk tsk, look, look, look, just say that, and you're covered."
"What you said is wrong, I want to blame you!" Shen Xinyan said with a slight fever in her ears, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Sumin chuckled lightly, wentssip a few more words, and then said: "I remember that the fifth lady of the Zhou mansion is the sister of the eldest lady in your mansion, is there something wrong?"
"You remember correctly. How do you mention her properly?" Shen Xinyan was puzzled.
"This Mrs. Friday is a character. I don't know that she is such a noble lady. Why did she get involved with those members of the Salt Gang? She has made a lot of money from them." Xu Sumin sipped her tea and said slowly.
Shen Xinyan was taken aback: "How would you know?"
"It's just a coincidence, but she's not a fool. Anyway, she knew that she couldn't reveal her identity, so she took part in a job in a random way, and she's used to being a human being, and she's going around to take care of the little guys below."
"I dare not underestimate her since I came here." Shen Xinyan said.
"And your concubine, Mrs. Qi, also participated, but she didn't have the guts of Mrs. Friday. She invested less and earned less than Mrs. Friday."
Shen Xinyan was surprised, and suddenly remembered that Qiutang had said that she had seen Fang Birong and Shen Xinlan together, could it be because of this
These two people are a little bit interesting. Is this turning hostility into friendship and trying to make money together
"Ma'am, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Pan are here."
"It's sister Xiuxiu and sister Yuzhi? Please invite them in." Shen Xinyan said hurriedly.
When hearing these two names, Xu Sumin's expression was a bit strange, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, Luo Xiuxiu and Xu Yuzhi walked in one after the other.
"So you still have customers here? It's a coincidence." Xu Yuzhi smiled first.
"Two sisters, please sit down." Shen Xinyan greeted them to take a seat, and then introduced Xu Sumin to them.
Several people were polite again.
"I still have something to do, so I won't bother you. I'll take my leave first." After a while, Xu Sumin got up, said goodbye and left.
"Why did you hang out with such a business woman? You lowered your status." After Xu Sumin left, Luo Xiuxiu frowned and disapproved.
"Xiuxiu is right, you are the wife of a dignified country now, why bother to lower your status to associate with such business women." Xu Yuzhi continued.
Shen Xinyan just smiled and didn't explain much to them.
Anyway, Xu Sumin is good, she knows it is.
"By the way, this is the prescription that I asked the doctor to prescribe when I was pregnant with my Xiaosi. It's the best medicine to stop morning sickness. You keep it first, and it may be useful when it's you! It's you, I'm the one Take it out so generously, if someone else, I wouldn't bother to care about it!" Xu Yuzhi handed her the prescription hidden in her sleeve.
"Thank you, sister." Shen Xinyan took it and looked at it briefly, then handed it to Chunliu to keep it.
"I'm also a mother of four children, so I know more than you. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me." Xu Yuzhi straightened her back.
She gave birth to four children in a row, and all four children were sons. Who knew that she should not praise her for her good fortune.
However, it was so dangerous when she was born in the fourth year, thanks to the century-old ginseng gifted to her by Shen Xinyan back then, at least she saved her life. Although she will never be able to conceive again, but she has four children under her knees, can she conceive again? It doesn't matter anymore.
Luo Xiuxiu, who gave birth to a daughter again last year, didn't look very good-looking, especially when she saw the smug smile on Xu Yuzhi's face, her heart became even more blocked.
Ever since her husband was knocked down from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials four years ago, she has been reluctant to go out. It seemed that wherever she went, there were people watching her jokes.
