When Old Lady Lu thought of Lu Yan, she immediately thought of the issue of offspring. She looked at Bai Wanyi's belly and said, "It's been eight years since you gave birth to Ping'er. Now both Wu and Qi in the mansion are pregnant. You should hurry up and have a few more. For a woman, having many children brings her happiness."
Bai Wanyi was immediately displeased. Was she being treated like a reproductive machine? But when she remembered Wu Ziya was pregnant, she realized that losing her temper now would be detrimental to her. She suppressed her temper and said with a look of regret, "I want to have a baby too, but I don't know what's going on. After giving birth to Ping'er, I haven't been pregnant in all these years."
Old Lady Lu's face turned serious. "How can that be possible? I'll get someone to take a look at you. When Yan'er comes back from the disaster relief work, you should get pregnant right away. We'll try to have children in our family within the next two years."
Old Lady Lu was very concerned about the issue of offspring, so upon hearing this, she immediately sent someone to call a familiar doctor to help.
This doctor was a gynecologist in the capital. He took Bai Wanyi's pulse and said, somewhat puzzledly, "Madam, you are in very good health. There is nothing wrong with you."
Old Lady Lu was very puzzled. "If there's no problem, why haven't you gotten pregnant in the past six or seven years? Have you eaten anything that might hinder pregnancy? Or used anything?"
It’s not that Old Madam Lu suspects that Bai Wanyi doesn’t want to have a child, it’s just too strange.
Bai Wanyi shook his head. Even with modern high technology, those birth control pills, IUDs, and contraceptive injections are not good for the body.
In ancient times, contraceptives consisted of drinking cinnabar and mercury.
Not to mention the harm to the body.
Therefore, Bai Wanyi only used physical contraceptive methods when he was at the border.
After returning to the capital, I never used contraception.
I'm not sure if physical contraception is completely accurate and feasible, but if you can't get pregnant without using contraception, there's definitely a problem.
Bai Wanyi thought so and shook his head: "No."
Old Lady Lu frowned: "Haven't you cleaned Qitongju since you moved in?"
This cleaning is not that cleaning.
Bai Wanyi also thought of a certain level and shook his head: "I haven't had time to clean it yet."
Old Lady Lu thought so too. Bai Wanyi had always been very busy. Qin Wan had always taken care of Qitongju before, so she had to make sure there weren't any problems left behind!
After all, Lu Yan had said at that time that Bai Wanyi should live in Qitongju. She might have been unwilling, so she asked someone to do something before leaving!
The moment Old Lady Lu thought of this, she shuddered and quickly said to the doctor, "Please come with me to Qitongju to see if there's anything wrong."
The wealthy families all have some secrets that cannot be spoken of. The doctor has seen a lot of this, so he just pretends not to hear anything else and just does his own job.
After half an hour, the doctor came back and said, "I have checked everything carefully, and there is nothing unusual in the house."
Old Lady Lu was even more puzzled: "Since she is healthy and has given birth to children before, why can't she get pregnant now?"
The doctor replied cautiously, "Perhaps it's not fate yet? I've been practicing medicine for many years, and I've seen many couples who were healthy but just couldn't conceive."
The doctor had a reason for saying this. Bai Wanyi had given birth, proving she was fine. Now that both the mistress and the concubine in the mansion were pregnant, it proved Lu Yan was also fine.
Then there is no other explanation except that fate has not arrived yet.
Bai Wanyi lowered her eyes. She could probably guess the reason. It was a genetic problem between the two of them. They were incompatible.
There are many such cases in modern times, otherwise there is no way to explain why I haven’t gotten pregnant again in so many years.
When Old Lady Lu learned that both of them were fine except for not being able to conceive, she felt a little unhappy. After sending the doctor away, she looked a little gloomy and said, "When Yan'er comes back, you should go and pay your respects to the Goddess of Childbirth so that you can add a child to your family soon."
"Okay." Bai Wanyi agreed without any pressure. He looked at the sky again and said, "Grandma, I think it's almost time. Please go to Qitongju first. I'll go prepare the last dish first."
Although Old Madam Lu was worried about her offspring, she still gave Bai Wanyi face and asked someone to go to the side room to ask Aunt Qi if she wanted to go.
Qi Jing touched her bulging belly. In two months, she would give birth.
Now that Bai Wanyi has just returned home and Wu Ziya is pregnant, Qi Jing doesn't think that Bai Wanyi has any good intentions in holding a banquet at this time.
She looked tired and said, "Madam, you've returned home. I should have gone to pay my respects, but my pregnancy is so big that it's really inconvenient. Please excuse me, I really can't go."
To show her sincerity, Qi Jing asked her personal maid to go to Bai Wanyi to apologize and received a few dishes made by Bai Wanyi himself.
Qi Jing was cautious and only ate the braised pork and other things. She peeled a bowl of seafood in sauce but did not eat it. She gave it all to the maid who served her personally. Naturally, no one would tell anyone about this.
On the other side, Old Lady Lu didn't care after hearing the maid's reply. Instead, she was quite pleased with her caution. "She's advanced in pregnancy, so we really should be careful. Even though it's March, this late spring cold snap is still quite severe. Look, there's still ice outside."
Isn’t it?
It snowed a few days ago. Although the snow melted the next day, a thin layer of ice formed on the ground. Every morning, the maids had to clean up the thin ice, otherwise they would slip.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Lu instructed the maidservant again: "There are many pregnant women in the house now, so have them clean carefully and make sure there are no messes."
"yes."
The maid took the order and left.
Old Lady Lu looked at the sky outside which was getting overcast again, as if it was going to rain or snow at any moment, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is it really as the rumors say, that the prince will bring disaster to the country?
Otherwise, it’s already March, and spring plowing has begun in the capital, so why is it still so cold?
Old Lady Lu didn't say the first half of the sentence, but she said the second half.
The old maid covered her with a thick cloak and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's a late spring cold snap. The late spring cold snaps in previous years were also very cold. Last year it was not so bad, but didn't we have heavy snow the year before?"
When Old Lady Lu heard this, she didn't think any more about it. She took the hand warmer and the group went to Qitongju.
Bai Wanyi had already finished her work in the kitchen, changed her clothes and went to the door to greet Old Lady Lu.
This time when she went to the big kitchen, she didn't do anything herself. She prepared the sauce for the sweet and sour pork herself, asked someone to fry the pork again with oil and stir-fry the sauce, and then watched people cook the braised pork and other meat dishes over high heat until the soup was thickened. Then she came back.
Not long after, Wu Ziya and others also arrived. Bai Wanyi did not call anyone else. There were only her, Wu Ziya, Old Madam Lu, and the sixth lady Lu Linglin, the eighth lady Lu Lingjiao, and the fourteen-year-old ninth lady Lu Lingrui.
Without the noisy, selfish and domineering Lu Linglong, these sisters are very happy.
Naturally, Lu Lingjiao became more lively: "Sister-in-law is back, I missed you so much."
Bai Wanyi looked at the unusual Lu Lingjiao with a smile on her face. "Hello, Eighth Sister." She then looked at Lu Linglin and Lu Lingrui, who were behind Lu Lingjiao. "Hello, Sixth Sister, Ninth Sister."
