Chapter 690 After my husband passed the imperial examination, I became his second wife (18)

"Miss, you have gained a lot of weight recently, and your clothes seem a little small. We need to ask the embroiderer to make a few new sets of clothes for you." Qingxue said as she tied the belt for Lin Shichu.

Lin Shichu was shocked when he heard this! Oh my God, could it be that she had been getting fat because she had been exercising less and eating too much?

She was shocked and quickly touched her waist. She found that her waist was much thicker than before, and even her belly was bulging, obviously she had a belly.

"Qingxue, have I gained a lot of weight? There's fat on my waist and stomach!" Lin Shichu pinched the fat on his stomach and said to Qingxue in disbelief, "I'm only 20 years old now, and I'm already starting to gain weight in middle age?"

Seeing that she looked very shocked, Qingxue quickly comforted her, "Miss, how can you say you have gained weight? You are obviously just a little plumper than before. I thought you were too thin before. Now you have gained some weight, which is just right. You look more radiant and radiant."

Qingxue did not lie. Lin Shichu's waist was a little thicker now, but his figure looked more graceful because he had gained some weight. He was still very beautiful, and there was no trace of being fat as she said.

As for the bulging belly... Lin Shichu covered his face and began to repent: "I shouldn't have refuted my mother. She was right. I really ate too much and I have a small belly. No, I have to control my mouth, move my legs, and cut off my small belly. Qingxue, wake me up early tomorrow. I need to spend some time practicing martial arts."

"Yes, I will wake you up early tomorrow." Qingxue was very obedient.

However, she miscalculated the next day, because she called Lin Shichu several times, but Lin Shichu just responded once and then fell asleep again, and didn't get up at all. However, Lin Shichu had never stayed in bed before.

This uncharacteristic change frightened Qingxue so much that she didn't even bother to wake up Lin Shichu. Instead, she went straight to find Lin's mother and told her about it.

No one knows a child better than her mother. Mother Lin also knew that her daughter used to have great self-control. As long as she made up her mind to get up early, she would get up as soon as the maid called her. She had never stayed in bed late. But now she just refused to stay in bed.

"Hurry up and get someone to call a doctor! Chu'er might be sick." Lin's mother found a suitable reason for her daughter.

Qingxue immediately asked someone to call a doctor.

When Lin's mother arrived at Lin Shichu's bedroom, she saw her daughter with her face buried in the quilt, sleeping soundly with no sign of waking up. However, she was usually very alert and would have opened her eyes as soon as she heard footsteps.

"Chu'er, Chu'er, wake up. Are you really sick?" Lin's mother was very worried. She sat beside the bed and pulled her daughter's face out of the quilt. She saw that her face was rosy, her brows were relaxed, and she was sleeping soundly. She didn't look sick at all.

Lin's mother's heart suddenly fell, and she couldn't help but pinch Lin Shichu's rosy face and said, "You heartless girl, you didn't wake up even after such a big commotion. Did you steal last night?"

However, after being tormented by Lin's mother, Lin Shichu finally woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lin's mother and Qingxue looking at her with their eyes wide open. She asked in confusion, "Why are you two looking at me like that?"

"Qingxue was so scared when she saw that you couldn't be woken up that she went to call me. I thought you were sick, but I didn't expect you to be fine..." Lin's mother said unhappily, poking Lin Shichu's forehead with her index finger.

"I'm not sick." Lin Shichu blurted out, and after a while he remembered that he asked Qingxue to wake him up, so he said a little embarrassedly, "I don't know what's wrong with me recently. I'm always sleepy. I can't get up in the morning, and I have to take a nap at noon."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Lin Shichu himself did not feel strange when he said this, but Lin's mother, as an experienced person, suddenly thought of a possibility. Her heart suddenly beat fast and her face was full of excitement. She suddenly grabbed Lin Shichu's hand and asked her daughter with shining eyes: "Did you have your period this month?"

Lin Shichu was stunned for a moment, but Qingxue immediately answered Lin's mother: "Young lady hasn't had her period this month, and only a little last month. Is this why Young lady is so sleepy?"

The silly maid thought that was the reason, but she didn't know that when Lin's mother heard her words, her face turned red with excitement and she said, "You didn't come last month? Why didn't you tell me? Oh, what a careless master and servant!"

Lin Shichu finally came back to her senses and understood what her mother meant. She touched her belly in disbelief. Could it be that it was not fat but tadpoles? But tadpoles were only two months old and couldn't swell up at all? So it was still fat?

At this time, the doctor finally arrived. Lin's mother immediately asked the old doctor to come in happily: "Quick, check my daughter's pulse to see if she is pregnant!"

The old doctor trembled as he held Lin Shichu's wrist and stroked his beard. After a while, he smiled and said to Lin's mother, "Miss Lin is indeed pregnant. It will be about two months. Congratulations, Mrs. Lin."

"My dear daughter is really pregnant? That's great, thank you, doctor! Doctor, how is my daughter's health? Does she need to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine?" Lin's mother asked happily.

"Miss Lin is in good health and the fetus is very stable. She doesn't need to take any pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. You just need to let her eat nutritious food and avoid eating any irritating food such as too cold or too spicy." The old doctor advised.

Lin's mother happily saw the doctor off, and hurriedly sent someone to call back Lin's father who had gone out. After Lin's father came back, he learned the good news that his daughter was pregnant, and he was so excited that he distributed money and grain, provided porridge to relieve disasters, built bridges and roads, saying that it was to accumulate blessings for the baby in his daughter's belly.

Of course, this kind of happy event must be told to Yue Lingxuan, so Lin's father immediately wrote a letter to Yue Lingxuan, hoping that he would come back soon to be with his wife and children.

But Yue Lingxuan was at a critical juncture and he couldn't just come back like that. In fact, he hadn't even received a letter from Lin's father, because in order to avoid implicating the Lin family with his own affairs, he had cut off contact with the Lin family since last month.

In fact, all the letters written by Lin's father were received by Lin Shichu, and she replied in the name of Yue Lingxuan.

Yue Lingxuan couldn't come back, which Lin's father and mother felt was a pity. However, with the baby in their daughter's belly to divert their attention, their regret didn't last long, and they were soon filled with joy that the Lin family had a successor.

Seven months later, Lin Shichu gave birth to a son weighing more than six kilograms and named him Lin Fei.

In Jinzhou, Yue Lingxuan had no idea that he had a son. He was conspiring with King Zhao to do something earth-shaking.

Another year passed, and Lin Fei was able to walk unsteadily. Finally, news came from the capital that a new emperor had ascended the throne. However, this new emperor was not the previous emperor's son, but his younger brother, the former King of Zhao.

The Yue family's affairs were finally vindicated, and Yue Lingxuan, as the only survivor of the Yue family, was named Duke of Anguo by the new emperor.

Not long after, a handsome man who looked exhausted stopped on horseback at the door of Lin's house and knocked on it.

Lin Shichu happened to be out playing with his son at that time. When he saw the person coming, he immediately smiled slowly.

"Mom, who is this person?" asked the chubby son beside her in a baby voice.

Yue Lingxuan looked at the little man who looked exactly like him, and his eyes almost fell out:

"My, my son?!"
