As soon as Li Zheng opened her eyes, she found herself a young girl in Lijia Village, Liang Kingdom. She was an orphan, with only a young brother and no family property except for one house. What w...
Chapter 87 Someone is coming
After the first three months, Li Zheng wrote a letter to Gu Chengze, telling him that she was pregnant and that he was going to be a father. He should not worry because she was doing well and the child was well behaved. She asked him to take good care of himself. She also told him some interesting stories about Baoger and sent it to him.
Meanwhile, the situation here at Gu Chengze has basically calmed down, and half of King Wu's army has retreated.
A soldier hurried in from outside, holding a letter in his hand. "Report, General! A letter has arrived from Taiyuan Prefecture." Gu Chengze stood up when he heard it was from Taiyuan Prefecture, took the envelope, and became even more excited when he saw that it was signed by Li Zheng. However, he did not open it immediately and said to the soldier, "Go down."
Then he returned to the inner room and opened the envelope, filled with excitement. The moment he saw the word "pregnant," his mind went blank, a mess. Pregnant? She was having a child! He sat down in his chair with a thud, his chest swelling with excitement. He was having a child. A silly smile spread across his face, and then he thought about what to do with her. She was pregnant and there was no one around to take charge. He didn't know if she would be scared, and he didn't know if the child would be well behaved and whether it would bother her. No way, he wrote a letter, a long and eloquent letter, saying to take care of herself.
When Li Zheng received the letter, which was obviously thicker than the previous ones, she was a little surprised. This person is not usually like this. She was so excited when she knew she was pregnant. Well, she would save it and tell him when the child grows up.
Li Zheng opened the letter and saw that it contained instructions about taking care of herself. Later on, he said that a woman named Yu would be coming to look after her in a few days. Seeing that, she put the letter away, thinking it was a pity that he would even think of such a thing. She just didn't know what kind of person Yu was, but since he had found her, there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Ayue, go find someone to clean up the yard next to me." The man didn't know what was going on, but he still wanted to make preparations first.
"Yes, ma'am."
Sure enough, within a few days, a carriage arrived outside the door. A woman in navy blue, with her hair meticulously combed, appeared to be in her forties. She was undoubtedly Yu Mama, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Zheng was filled with nostalgia and relief. When Yu Mama got out, she saw a woman in a light green dress, with only a few simple hairpins in her hair. She looked incredibly beautiful, perhaps because she was pregnant, which made her seem particularly gentle. She knew at a glance that the person in front of her was a good person. No wonder the young master was so anxious to send her here. If it were her, she wouldn't want her to suffer.
A Yue walked up to Yu's mother and said, "Hello, it's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work." Li Zheng saw Yu's mother's pale face and knew that the road must have been rough and bumpy. She had experienced that feeling before and it was really uncomfortable.
Seeing her greet her and bow, Yu Mama was flattered and quickly stepped aside, "Madam, no, I'm just a servant and can't handle such a grand gift."
Li Zheng took Mother Yu's hand and stood up. "It's nothing. Mother Yu was invited here by the general, not a servant, so naturally it's different. Besides, the general told me to treat you well and treat you as an elder, and it just so happens that there are no elders between the general and me. From now on, I will have to rely on you, Mother Yu." Li Zheng's words were sincere, and she really meant it. Not to mention what Gu Chengze mentioned in the letter, just what she saw knew that Mother Yu had good intentions towards her, and this goodwill naturally came from Gu Chengze. However, the letter didn't say much, so she didn't know the specific situation, but she did have some guesses.
Mother Yu also felt Li Zheng's good intentions and understood the meaning of her words. She was a smart person. However, since the young master didn't say anything else, she couldn't say much. She should wait for the young master to speak to the young mistress in person. "I'm here to take care of you, madam. Don't worry, madam."
"Mother Yu must be tired too. I have asked someone to clean up the yard. It's not big but it's clean. Mother Yu, please go and have a rest first." After all, Mother Yu is old and her body is naturally not as good as that of young people. She still needs to rest quickly.
Mother Yu didn't bother to be polite with Li Zheng. She felt so uncomfortable that she asked A Yue to take her to the yard.
As soon as Ayue left the house, he heard Yu's mother snoring softly, thinking that she must be exhausted. Returning to the living room, he saw his wife still drinking tea, "Madam, Yu's mother has gone to bed."
"Well, that's good. By the way, you should be polite to Mother Yu in the future." Li Zheng saw that A Yue, who had grown into a big girl, had become better in dealing with people and treating others.
"Yes, ma'am." Looking at A-Yue's receding figure, I thought that A-Yue seemed to be a year older than me, and according to this, it was time for them to get married. Well, I'll ask her when the time comes and see what she thinks.
At night, Xiao Zi also knew that Yu Mama would be coming tonight, so she also put in a lot of effort in cooking. I don’t know where this enthusiasm came from. After Yu Mama woke up from her sleep, she saw a maid coming to serve her.
The next day, Mother Yu came to Li Zheng's yard to work. Her main responsibility was to keep a close eye on her, making sure she was dressed properly and inspecting every detail. She found nothing harmful to a pregnant woman, and when breakfast was served, she checked again and found nothing inedible. She was relieved. Then she started watching Li Zheng eat to see if she was eating the right amount.
Li Zheng had a hard time swallowing her meal. After all, someone was watching her. How could she possibly eat? She couldn't. She pursed her lips and said, "Well, Mom Yu, why don't you sit down and eat with me?" Otherwise, she really didn't want to eat until she was full.
"Madam, I have already eaten. It is unreasonable to continue talking about this." Mother Yu also has principles. Although she is here to take care of people, she cannot be arrogant and must just do her own thing.
Seeing that Yu's mother looked serious, Li Zheng didn't say anything more. However, she didn't expect that Yu's mother seemed very kind yesterday, but became serious today.
However, under Yu's care, Li Zheng did feel less worried. Things she hadn't understood before now became clearer to her. Since the third month of pregnancy, Li Zheng's belly had been swelling like a ball, making her wonder if there was something wrong with her.
"Mom Yu, is my belly really normal? It's only been more than five months. Why does it feel the same as Mrs. Cheng's?" Li Zheng looked at her belly and couldn't see her feet. Sister Cheng is now eight months pregnant, and she has seen it, but she is only more than five months pregnant. Will something happen?
Although Mother Yu had answered this question countless times, being asked so many times made her wonder if she was wrong. "Madam, why don't you ask a doctor to come and take a look?"
