Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan both froze there.

Ye Caiping was stunned: "Granny...you're joking, right?"

They've only been married for two months!

Granny Feng said excitedly, "I'm not joking. As servants, we all have to remember and pay attention to our mistress's daily routine. Madam's period usually comes on the fifth or sixth of each month, but now it's already half a month late. Why don't we ask a doctor to come back and take a look?"

Ye Caiping was bewildered.

She's been too busy lately and hasn't paid attention to her period.

Shen Zhiyan held Ye Caiping's hand tightly: "Go and invite her quickly."

Granny Feng hurriedly ran out the door.

About fifteen minutes later, the doctor finally arrived. After taking her pulse, he nodded and said, "Although the pulse is very weak, you are indeed pregnant, almost two months along. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Doctor." Granny Feng was overjoyed and quickly took out an ounce of silver to personally see him out.

Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan were still sitting on the long couch in shock, their eyes wide open. It was really true; she was pregnant.

Ye Caiping gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, her heart filled with tenderness and emotion; it was a wonderful feeling...

Shen Zhiyan stared at her intently, as if she were some kind of magical creature.

Ye Caiping raised an eyebrow: "What are you staring at?"

Shen Zhiyan: "No... it's just that I suddenly feel sorry for you."

Pregnancy is very hard. Just now, she took a very ordinary glass of fruit wine, which she used to like, but now the smell makes her feel uncomfortable.

He had been looking forward to it, but when the baby actually arrived, he was heartbroken.

Ye Caiping looked up and saw that his eyes were slightly red at the corners, which added a touch of allure to his already handsome and noble features, making her heart flutter with joy.

When Shen Zhiyan noticed her looking at him, he tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Caiping placed her hand on his face and smiled, "Beautiful!"

Shen Zhiyan's face stiffened. He was moved, and she was swooning!

Finally, he sighed and laughed, "You see it every day, aren't you tired of it yet?"

Ye Caiping smiled, her eyes narrowing: "No. What, are you tired of looking at me?"

Shen Zhiyan placed his hand on hers, feeling pleased: "No, I don't get tired of looking at you either."

The two leaned against each other sweetly like that.

Granny Feng outside the door: "..."

I was just shocked by the news of her pregnancy, but before I knew it, we were snuggling together again.

Should she go in or not? Never mind, she shouldn't go in!

After all, they're adults now, they know what they need to know.

Shen Zhiyan said, "The nuptial wine ceremony we just had isn't over yet, let's use tea instead of wine."

Ye Caiping nodded.

Shen Zhiyan poured tea for them, and the two drank from the same cup, thus completing the ceremony once again.

After everything was tidied up, the two lay on the bed. Inside the dragon and phoenix wedding tent, Shen Zhiyan lay stiffly next to Ye Caiping.

Seeing that he was lying stiffly, Ye Caiping turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhiyan gently pulled her into his arms: "It's nothing, go to sleep."

Ye Caiping yawned; she was so tired today that she fell asleep almost immediately.

Looking at her sleeping face, Shen Zhiyan felt both satisfied and regretful. They had finally gotten married twice, and after waiting for twenty-two days, they still had to go hungry.

However, the arrival of the child was their most beautiful wedding gift.

......

The next day, before breakfast, Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan told the three maids about their pregnancy.

The three girls cheered, and Shen Manman said happily, "We want to listen to the baby."

Shen Zhiyan said with a stern face: "No way. How old are you? What can you possibly hear?"

Shen Manman pouted.

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Let them hear it."

Shen Manman and Ye Jin'er finally smiled broadly.

Shen Zhiyan stood nervously to the side, his face tense. In his eyes, Ye Caiping, after becoming pregnant, was a beautiful woman, and he was afraid of disturbing her.

The three girls took turns doing it.

Shen Manman: "Wow, I can hear the baby moving."

Ye Jin'er: "Gurgling."

Ye Huan'er: "Baby must know we're listening."

Ye Caiping: "......"

Is it possible that she was hungry?

Shen Zhiyan stood there stunned. Could he really tell?

At this moment, Granny Feng walked in and said, "Miss, please do not tell anyone about Madam's pregnancy until three months later."

Shen Manman nodded: "We understand."

They are well aware of this.

After dinner, Ye Caiping took a stroll in the garden before returning to her room to rest. She leaned back in her chaise lounge and had just fallen asleep.

Shen Zhiyan, who was standing to the side, put down the book in his hand and gently pressed his ear against her stomach.

Ye Caiping opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhiyan's face flushed slightly: "It's nothing... I just wanted to listen."

Ye Caiping smiled and gave him a reproachful look: "So what did you hear?"

Shen Zhiyan: "Hmm... Anyway, they must be greeting me."

Ye Caiping was overjoyed.

......

Soon, the third day after the wedding, the bride returned to her parents' home.

Back in the village, Ye Caiping told Grandma Ye and her husband the news.

The elderly couple were overjoyed.

Grandma Ye said, "If we calculate by the months, she should give birth around November. As for the capital..."

Shen Zhiyan said, "Then let's stay here for postpartum confinement and go back after the New Year. This time when we go back, we'll have to stay in the capital for a long time, so we can spend the New Year and Lantern Festival with our parents here."

The elderly couple were overjoyed to hear this, thinking they would return to Beijing before the birth. Now they'd earned two more months' worth of income!

Grandma Ye said, "The small courtyard on the east side happens to be empty. After the baby is born, the wet nurse can stay there with the baby. That way, it won't disturb your rest."
