Mingyu was alert all of a sudden, and slapped Sima Hong's hairy paws away, whispering, "Don't move! The doctor said it would be fine in three months, but I was kneeling on the ground not long ago. What if something happens? Don't you want the child?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Sima Hong felt extremely guilty and immediately behaved himself. He secretly hated himself. If he hadn't had that sudden brain injury at the beginning, he would have been hugging his wife and making love with her now. Like now, he could touch and kiss his sweet and soft wife, but he couldn't eat her. It was too torturous.
However, Sima Hong was only quiet for a while, and then he stretched out his hairy claws again, with a very reasonable reason, "My wife, why can't I touch her?" Mingyu closed her eyes and ignored him, thinking that he would stop and go to sleep after he had satisfied his desire. However, the more Sima Hong touched her, the more rapid his breathing became. He hugged Mingyu's neck and nibbled it randomly, and his hot body wanted to stick to her. A stick under his body was hard against Mingyu's thigh.
Mingyu was pregnant and was a sleepy person. Sima Hong was kissing and hugging her, so she couldn't fall asleep at all. She kicked him angrily and threatened, "If you do this again, I'll go home."
Sima Hong immediately coaxed, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I won't move, I won't move."
When Mingyu was about to fall asleep, Sima Hong hugged Mingyu and breathed into her ear, and asked softly, "Yuer, why did you marry me?"
Is this the end? Did this idiot not let her sleep tonight or what? Mingyu was so angry that she almost threw off the quilt and got up to throw a tantrum. She was pregnant for several months but she was still acting like a pure boy. "Honey, why do you like me?" Damn, even a melodramatic idol drama can't be so disgusting!
After enduring for a long time, Mingyu put on a sweet smile and said, "You don't want me to marry you?" Her sleepy tone and soft voice made Sima Hong's heart tremble.
"Why don't I want you to marry me?" Sima Hong explained hurriedly, "I just want to know, tell me. Let's not talk about the divorce letter. If you didn't want to get married, I would definitely not force you with the divorce letter." An invalid divorce letter is used to force his brother-in-law and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Sima Hong thought shamelessly.
Mingyu smiled and reached out to touch Sima Hong's cheek. The fire in the brazier in the middle of the tent was burning brightly. Under the flames, the light and shadows were dark. Sima Hong's slightly wheat-colored face was particularly handsome. Mingyu was secretly satisfied in her heart. She felt that she and her husband both looked good, and the children she would have in the future would not be ugly. Thinking of this, Mingyu couldn't help but smile and said, "You look better than others."
That's the reason? Too superficial... Sima Hong was stunned. Although he was secretly happy in his heart, he was indeed good-looking. He asked again without giving up: "No other reason?"
Mingyu sighed deeply in her heart. If she didn't make him happy, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. She held Sima Hong's face, kissed his lips, and said with a smile: "You are more responsible than others, you are more capable than others, and most importantly, you treat me better than anyone else!"
Wrong, in fact, what Mingyu really wants to say in her heart is, you are more shameless than others, you are more shameless than others, and most importantly, you are more shameless than anyone else!
Sima Hong's eyebrows immediately curved into crescents with joy, and he chuckled, "Actually... it's almost like that." Mingyu sweatdropped for a moment, thinking that he was going to be modest, but she didn't expect him to admit it without blushing. He was really shameless.
"Well, there's one more thing." Sima Hong hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, in a gossiping tone, "Don't you women light flower lanterns and make wishes on Chinese Valentine's Day? What wish did you make last year?"
You said you didn't care, but now you're asking me in a roundabout way again!
Seeing Mingyu's face turn cold, Sima Hong quickly hugged his wife and said with a smile: "I'm just asking, I'm curious, if you don't want to say it, forget it, just pretend I didn't ask, haha."
Mingyu rolled her eyes at him, pulled the quilt up to cover her neck, and said lazily, "If I don't tell you, your wish won't work if you tell it to me." Finally, she added, "But my wish has come true."
When he heard the first sentence, Sima Hong was still depressed, but when he heard the last sentence, he was already ecstatic. His wish was obvious, just to marry him!
After all this trouble, Lord Sima finally relented and let Mingyu go to sleep. Before going to bed, Sima Hong was very cocky and said happily: "I knew that you must have been looking forward to marrying me for a long time, and you always put on airs. Well, if I hadn't given up, it would have been such a pity and regret if we didn't work out! Wouldn't we have no this little one!" After saying that, he touched Mingyu's belly.
Bullshit! Mingyu couldn't help but curse in her heart. What on earth is this guy thinking about? She had originally wished for Sima Hong to live a peaceful life. At that time, the war was going on fiercely, so of course the most important thing was that he returned safely. Even if he really brought back a foreign princess or a daughter of Zhuge from the battlefield, she would accept it. There was no extra thought in her mind to marry him.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Sima Hong received a letter from the post station saying that Miao had arrived in Xi'an. Calculating the days the letter was delayed on the road, Miao would definitely reach Tianshui in the next two days. Sima Hong waited day and night and finally saw his mother back. On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, as soon as the sun rose, he could no longer sit still and ran to the city gate to greet her in person.
Mingyu advised him, "No matter where mother rests at night, she must wait until daytime to travel. It will be almost noon when she arrives at the city gate. There is no need to go there so early and stand there in the cold."
Sima Hong laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay." But he refused to go.
Mingyu sighed and let him be. If Xu Changqian and Madam Xu came, she would be just as anxious. Moreover, after experiencing such a catastrophe, Sima Hong only had Miao as a relative, and her feelings were irreplaceable.
Sima Hong waited for a long time on the second day of the New Year, but Miao did not come. On the third day, sporadic snow fell from the sky. Sima Hong waited until the afternoon and saw a line of carriages coming outside the city gate raising dust. He was immediately cheered up, thinking that his mother must have arrived.
"Mother." Sima Hong's eyes turned red when he saw Miao, and he stepped forward to hold his mother's hand.
Miao's tears kept flowing. She touched her son's face and looked up and down. She was so excited that she couldn't say a word. Wei Ma was smart and smiled tactfully, "It's cold outside. The old lady has a lot to say. It won't be too late to tell the marquis slowly when we get on the carriage."
After getting on the carriage, Miao finally calmed down her excitement. She opened the curtain a little and looked out the window at the newly built Tianshui. It was unclear whether her face was happy or sad. She murmured, "It's very different from before..."
Sima Hong held his mother's hand and said with a smile: "The house and everything are newly built, so it looks a bit awkward."
Miao sighed slightly, and tears fell from her eyes. She wiped away the tears and suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Where is Mingyu? Why can't I see her?"
Sima Hong smiled and said, "It's too cold today, so I didn't let her come with me. She was going to come."
Miao nodded, but she felt unhappy in her heart. She, as a mother-in-law, came home from afar, but Mingyu, as a daughter-in-law, did not come out to greet her but stayed at home to rest. She did not even give her face when she came back, which really made her unhappy.
Someone had already rushed back to inform Mingyu. Mingyu and several maids stood at the door to welcome Miao. It was the twelfth lunar month and Mingyu was more than four months pregnant. Her belly was already noticeable and her bulging belly could be seen even through her thick winter clothes.
As soon as Miao got out of the car, Mingyu walked over with the help of Mrs. Liu, bowed with a smile and asked, "Mother, have you had a safe journey? Are you tired?"
Miao was originally very unhappy and was thinking about what to do about this matter. How could she live with the person she was going to live with for the rest of her life when he came back and ignored her? However, what she saw was Mingyu's bulging belly. The daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the impact of having a baby was huge. In that instant, Miao forgot all her dissatisfaction with Mingyu and looked at Mingyu with the same eyes as a farmer's sister-in-law looking at a piglet about to give birth in her own pigpen...
"Oh my! How come this kid is already pregnant and still coming out?" Miao was surprised and happy. "Hey, is it cold? How many months has it been? He didn't even tell me! I... wasn't prepared at all. Hey, you two kids, what can I say?"
As she was talking, Miao's tears started to flow freely again. Unlike before, this time, she was crying out of pure joy. The group coaxed her for a long time before she stopped crying. Sima Hong wanted to help Miao into the mansion, but Miao didn't care about her son anymore. She pushed Sima Hong away and took the initiative to help Mingyu up. She carefully supported Mingyu to walk into the mansion, and she kept mumbling as she walked: "Walk slowly. It's snowing and the stone slabs are slippery. Pregnant women are the most important. Don't be careless. If you take good care of the first child, the next one will be smooth. I remember when I was pregnant with Yang Ge'er..."
Mingyu was dizzy and anxious to get to Miao's yard soon, so that Sima Hong could listen to Miao's nagging. In fact, it had just snowed, and the servants had laid grass mats on the stone road to prevent slipping. She also noticed that Miao secretly touched her belly, and she couldn't figure out what the old lady wanted to do.
When Miao was happy, she became particularly talkative, which was completely different from her previous domineering and cold image. She secretly touched Mingyu's belly just to find out whether Mingyu was carrying a boy or a girl. She heard that experienced midwives could tell whether the baby was a boy or a girl by just touching and looking at the belly. Unfortunately, she was pregnant with both boys. When Madam Wen was pregnant with Sister Lian, she was too lazy to even take a look. She really lacked experience in this area. She touched and stared for a long time but couldn't feel it at all.
