Chapter 123 Pregnancy symptoms appear

Perhaps because she had too many things on her mind, Yun Qiao looked at Gu Heng for a long time, and Chen Jingyan's expression turned ugly.

"Are you interested in my second brother? Unfortunately, he's already taken."

"It's your cousin from the Li family, who has a good relationship with you."

Yun Qiao turned around and stared at Chen Jingyan, "My Lord, are you jealous? I'm just thinking about something, not adoring the Second Master."

"Why would I be jealous? Ridiculous."

As Chen Jingyan spoke, he took a big bite of meat with his chopsticks, but he didn't know that the meat was actually a piece of ginger that looked like meat.

After putting it in his mouth, he wanted to vomit but didn't want to do it in front of Yun Qiao.

He hates eating ginger the most.

Yun Qiao found him so aggrieved and pitiful, and found it funny and amusing. She picked up the small plate next to her and walked closer to Chen Jingyan.

"If you don't like it, just throw it up. Why force yourself?"

"quick……."

Chen Jingyan snorted, bit the food into pieces and swallowed it.

"My Lord, you like ginger so much. Next time, I'll make you some ginger duck."

Yun Qiao found it amusing and interesting to see Chen Jingyan's expression changing from time to time.

After dinner, Chen Jingyan's guards came again. Thinking it was about pirates, she went to wash up and went back to her room to lie down. It was cold that day, and the winter in Guangcheng was not warm either. Even though the stove was burning in the house, it was still very cold.

After reading the storybook for a while, Yun Qiao felt sleepy and fell asleep on the bed. At some point, Chen Jingyan came back to the room, lit the fire in the stove, took off his clothes, got on the bed, and lay down holding the sleeping woman.

He always felt that his marriage with Princess Huachao should be called off.

He wants to marry Yun Qiao.

This idea is not new, but recently the desire to marry her has become stronger.

Yun Qiao was asleep, but when she was held in Chen Jingyan's arms, she woke up.

I just didn't want to talk to him and planned to continue pretending to be asleep.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jingyan hugged her so tightly that she almost couldn't breathe.

Yun Qiao had no choice but to open her eyes, "My Lord, you're almost strangling me to death."

Chen Jingyan immediately relaxed a little.

"I thought you were fast asleep."

"So you wanted to strangle me while I was asleep?"

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Chen Jingyan immediately turned over and pressed him under him.

"I can't bear to strangle you to death. I really want to kill you."

"Chen Jingyan, you bastard..."

Chen Jingyan seemed to have enraged the ferocious beast within him.

He liked the look on her face and the natural tone of her voice when she called his name, just like the playful banter of an ordinary couple.

***

The suppression of pirates in Guangcheng continued until the beginning of spring after the New Year.

Because Gu Heng returned to Kyoto early, he told the old lady in person that the Marquis was fine in Guangcheng, and he also praised Yun Qiao.

The old lady even felt that Yun Qiao was a lucky star.

Gu Heng also mentioned his marriage with Li Yuan to the old lady, and the old lady naturally agreed. Although Gu Heng was not her biological grandson, he had been raised in the marquis's mansion and in her care for many years, and the old lady treated Gu Heng as her own grandson.

The Li family is her family, and she watched Li Yuan grow up. If the two of them like each other, she will definitely support them.

This is the agreement to the marriage between Gu Heng and Li Yuan.

Gu Heng spent the New Year with the old lady in Kyoto.

He also wrote a letter to inform Chen Jingyan of what was happening in the Marquis' Mansion.

Yun Qiao also read the contents of the letter. There was another letter written by the old lady to her grandson Chen Jingyan.

It is said that the eldest granddaughter-in-law, Cai, gave birth to a son, but the child was born sick, and they were worried that they could not raise him.

He was less than a month old, but he was sick every other day, either with diarrhea or fever, or choking while drinking milk, and coughing and crying at night.

The reason why the old lady wrote all this to Chen Jingyan in the letter was to tell Chen Jingyan that the Marquis's offspring still depended on him. Now that Gu Heng was about to get engaged to Li Yuan, he and the princess should get married as soon as they returned to Kyoto and give birth to a healthy boy for the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible.

Yun Qiao read all the letters to Chen Jingyan.

Chen Jingyan originally didn't want Yun Qiao to read the letter urging marriage and childbirth.

But she saw it accidentally, so he didn't stop it.

"Grandma's letter is very trivial and noisy."

Yun Qiao put the letter down and chuckled, saying, "Old Madam is also concerned about the Marquis. Honestly, at your age, you should be getting married and having children. Look at your friends, how old their children are now."

"It's time to have a baby."

As Chen Jingyan spoke, he picked up Yun Qiao and let her sit on his lap.

The man placed his palm on her belly and said, "If I remember correctly, you haven't had your period this month for a long time."

After hearing what he said, Yun Qiao, who had a smile on her face just now, suddenly changed her expression.

She suddenly struggled out of Chen Jingyan's arms.

"Chen Jingyan, did you do this on purpose?"

Yun Qiao's menstruation was irregular and she had never been able to remember it. After all, it was the maid who remembered it before, so she didn't have to bother to take care of it.

As expected, life is easier when Xiaotao is around.

Chen Jingyan smiled and said, "I was just kidding. Look how nervous you are. Come here. I just want to hug you."

Yun Qiao was suspicious, but there were no early pregnancy test strips in ancient times, so she had no chance to take a test. If she really had morning sickness, she would not be able to escape.

Isn’t it said that after contracting this disease, a man’s fertility will decrease?

How could she get pregnant so quickly?

Logically speaking, with her physique that makes it difficult for her to get pregnant and Chen Jingyan's body with reduced fertility, it should be the most difficult for them to have a child.

Chen Jingyan reached out and pinched Yun Qiao's soft palm.

"What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in it."

"No." Yun Qiao denied subconsciously.

Chen Jingyan whispered to her, "Guangcheng is not very safe these days, so you should stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'm going to go to sea for a while. When I come back, we will return to Kyoto."

Yun Qiao nodded softly.

I was thinking in my mind, when would be the best time for me to run away?

But then Chen Jingyan said again: "Don't even think about running away. You're a woman with no one around you. Where can you go? At least you're safe with me. I promise you, as long as I'm here, I'll protect you."

Yun Qiao looked up at him, "My Lord, you know what I want. You're getting married soon, and yet you're still here talking about love and making vows to me. Are you worthy of your future wife?"

"You haven't married yet, why worry about that?"

Chen Jingyan didn't blurt out that he wanted to marry her...

He knew Yun Qiao's thoughts too well. Because he was engaged to Princess Hua Chao, she would not run away immediately. If he said that he would disobey the order and not marry Princess Hua Chao but marry the concubine in his family, Yun Qiao would probably run faster and farther.

He said that it was dangerous for Yun Qiao, a woman, to run away, but in fact he was still worried.

Yunqiao will really run away.

This woman is heartless, he doesn't even exist in her heart.

Yun Qiao angrily cursed the man as a scumbag.

What does "渣男" mean? Chen Jingyan didn't know, but he knew it was definitely not a good word.

Chen Jingyan said he was busy, and this time he went straight to the sea to catch pirates. Yun Qiao was idle in the yard, getting moldy. She privately consulted a doctor for pulse diagnosis. Whether it was because the doctor's skills were not good or what, he told her that she was not pregnant...

But her period still didn't come.

Yunqiao was so worried that she dreamed about her period every night.

About a month later, her period did not come, but Chen Jingyan returned victoriously with Jiang Yulang's head.

Jiang Yulang's head was first sent to Kyoto. Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao rested in Guangcheng for a few days. Chen Jingyan won the battle, but was slightly injured. When he was trying to capture Jiang Yulang on the island, he was attacked by fire by the natives on the island and almost died.

Fortunately, he was discovered by his subordinates in time and saved his life.

Although he spoke so casually, Yun Qiao became nervous.

"If you knew it was so dangerous, why didn't you bring more people with you?"

The guard Wuying was standing in front of him, busy explaining for the Marquis, "Auntie, you don't know, but the Marquis came back in a hurry and only brought a few people with him, hoping to capture Jiang Yulang alive. Unfortunately, Jiang Yulang incited the indigenous people on the pirate ship, and that's why they launched a fire attack on us."

"Why are you in such a hurry..." Yun Qiao was also angry.

As a general, he was undoubtedly responsible.

Yunqiao has to admit this.

Chen Jingyan smiled weakly, "It's because someone said he wanted to run away, and I was worried."

Yun Qiao blushed and murmured softly, "When did I tell you?"

She didn't even say okay, she just thought about it a few times in her mind.

No matter what, Chen Jingyan was injured this time because of her. Yun Qiao didn't feel guilty, but she was willing to take care of him for a while.

In early March, the weather gradually warms up.

Yun Qiao suddenly had a strong reaction.

Only then did she realize that she was really pregnant.

But the strange thing is, why didn't the doctor find out the pulse at the beginning? Or was the doctor a quack? But that's not right. Gu Heng said that the doctor's medical skills were not superb, but they were also good. There was no such thing as a quack doctor misleading people.
