Yuan's eldest sister-in-law didn't dare to breathe, staring straight at Jinzhu.

She dared not ask, afraid that she would be disappointed once again.

Over the years, she has been disappointed countless times.

It was the same before; whenever she had a poor appetite or any other unusual symptoms, she would rush someone to fetch a doctor, but in the end, she would always be disappointed.

Once, twice... countless times, she gave up hope.

It was her husband's words that day that gave her renewed hope. She knew that dreams were too fantastical, but she still held onto that hope.

Just as she was lost in thought, Yuan Zhao's voice rang out:

"How about it?"

"It's a pregnancy pulse."

Jinzhu couldn't offer any words of congratulations, nor could she understand the feelings of Yuan's eldest sister-in-law. She calmly stated her diagnosis.

Upon hearing this, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law could no longer remain seated. She stood up abruptly and said in a shaky voice:

"Really?"

She couldn't believe it was real; she had been waiting for this for years.

Even now that someone has told her she is pregnant, she still can't believe it, fearing it will be another false alarm.

Yuan Zhao understood her feelings perfectly. She didn't mention Jin Zhu's abilities, as Jin Zhu was even less likely to make a wrong diagnosis. She only instructed Wen Feng to say:

"Quickly send someone to fetch doctors, and several of them."

She did it to put her sister-in-law at ease.

If one person doesn't believe it, ten people will eventually make her believe it.

When Yuan Gu returned after receiving the news, he saw several doctors leaving his house.

Previously, Yuan Zhao had only said that his sister-in-law had something to do and asked him to come back quickly, but he didn't know what it was. Now that he saw several doctors at his house, he suddenly panicked.

"What happened? How is my wife?"

He quickly grabbed the doctor walking at the front and asked, "This man is the most famous doctor in the capital."

The old doctor wasn't angry even though he was hurt by the scratch; he just smiled and said:

"Congratulations, General Yuan! Your wife is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the usually composed Yuan Gu was stunned. After a long while, he hurriedly ran to his own courtyard, instructing people to give him a reward as he ran.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yuan Zhao by his wife's side. His wife looked overjoyed, and when she saw him, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

Seeing her older brother like this, Yuan Zhao knew he already knew, so she didn't disturb them and walked out by herself.

Thinking of how her older brother and sister-in-law had just looked, she couldn't help but laugh.

My older brother and sister-in-law have always had a good relationship, and now that they have a child, their relationship will be even more stable.

It will be good when my second brother also finds someone he likes.

In this way, her efforts finally paid off.

Time flies, and the wedding day arrived in the blink of an eye.

The night before, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law came to Chu Qing's room. Since there was no mother-in-law in the family, the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother to Chu Qing, and there were some things that needed to be done by her.

However, since Yuan Zhao was remarried, and her husband was also a eunuch, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law felt that there was really nothing she could tell him.

Seeing her sister-in-law's troubled expression, Yuan Zhao took the initiative to bring up the topic:

"Sister-in-law, how's your appetite these days?"

A few days ago, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law had not had a good appetite, so Yuan Zhao asked Jinzhu to help prepare some medicinal meals, for which Yuan's eldest sister-in-law was very grateful.

"Thanks to you, things are much better now."

"Then Jinzhu will stay with you for now, sister-in-law, and we'll talk about it after you give birth."

Yuan Zhao spoke.

Jinzhu is skilled in medicine and even more adept at using poison. Although there is nothing sordid about their family, having someone like her around makes them feel at ease.

"No need. Take the person away. You need to go to the Rong residence."

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law only realized how capable Jinzhu was after getting to know her, and was even more moved that Yuan Zhao was willing to lend her the person.

However, Yuan Zhao needed the gold and pearls more than he did.

That's the Rong family mansion, after all. If anything happens, Jinzhu can help out.

"It's alright, sister-in-law. Let Jinzhu stay by your side. Rongruo has someone like that by his side."

Judging from the tone of her words, she trusted Rong Ruo very much. After thinking for a moment, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law said:

"In that case, let Jinzhu stay with me for the time being."

"However, Zhao Zhao, you should always be careful in everything you do."

Yuan Zhao smiled upon hearing this:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I've learned my lesson the hard way."

After seeing his sister-in-law off, Yuan Zhao suffered from insomnia, a rare occurrence for him.

She hadn't felt anything before, but the thought of actually marrying Rong Ruo tomorrow made her start to panic.
