Su Yueya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least for now, everyone in the family, including her parents and older brother who are unaware that Lu Zhengjun faked her death, is holding a positive and optimistic attitude towards her pregnancy.
If they don't support her and want her to abort the child so as not to affect her future remarriage, she'll really have a headache trying to figure out how to convince them.
This is wonderful!
Everything happens for a reason.
"Don't worry, I'm a doctor myself, I know how to take care of myself. I'm not afraid of hard work, as long as the baby can be born smoothly, it's all worth it. As for the training camp... I've already talked to the instructors, and I'll report to Minister Hu later," Su Yueya said.
Nothing is more important than protecting the pregnancy.
“But I find it strange. We’ve been saying that the Empress is infertile, so how did you manage to get pregnant?” Qiao Hanxue wondered.
Su Yueya: "..."
She kept the fertility pills a secret; not only was Lu Zhengjun unaware, but no one in the family knew about them.
Moreover, Su Yueya couldn't say for sure whether the fertility pills were the cause, since Lu Zhengjun was the infertile one and she was the one taking the pills, and there was no absolute connection between the two, so it was hard to say.
Let's not talk about it for now.
“I’m not entirely sure either, so I didn’t pay attention to this issue until Xinruo first discovered it. However, it’s not entirely impossible, because when Zhengjun was examined, she had gone from being completely infertile to having difficulty conceiving, so it’s not entirely out of the question!” Su Yueya explained.
People are more likely to make mistakes when they are in a hurry.
For example, at this very moment, in order to avoid revealing that she was taking fertility pills, Su Yueya inadvertently mentioned that Xinruo had discovered her pregnancy first...
Sure enough, even Qiao Shouyan, a complete novice, could tell something was wrong.
“Crescent Moon, how could Xinruo have noticed it first? Even you didn’t notice it, how did she find out?” Qiao Shouyan asked.
Initially, no one said who discovered the problem, so no one thought much of it. Now, it's as if Su Yueya herself has "confessed" without being asked.
Su Yueya: "..."
Qiao Xinruo reacted quickly and stepped forward to explain.
“It was right after I learned of my brother-in-law’s sacrifice that my sister fainted in Commander Wu’s office. Do you remember, eldest brother? When you and second brother came, I had already pinched her philtrum to wake her up. At that time, I accidentally touched her wrist and felt that it seemed like she was pregnant, but it was too brief and I wasn’t sure. Also, I was afraid of affecting her emotions. She had fainted many times before due to emotional fluctuations, and I was afraid that something would happen to her again, so I didn’t dare to say anything.”
"Later, I got busy and forgot to find another opportunity to confirm. It wasn't until today, during rock climbing training, that I suddenly remembered and had to tell my sister to confirm it."
What a close call... Even Qiao Xinruo admired her own quick wit.
Her explanation works, and it's all true, only cleverly concealing the most important part.
Qiao Gaoyang understood perfectly, but he said nothing.
The others didn't suspect anything further, but Qiao Shouyan felt something was off about the expressions on his second brother's and two sisters' faces, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Could it be that he's being too sensitive?
On the other side, when Lu Anguo got home from get off work, he was surprised to find that Bai Xiuhui had prepared dinner and was waiting for him. Moreover, his wife had a rare smile on her face.
He was especially happy and relieved, feeling that his wife had finally emerged from the shadows.
It's just strange that his wife, who was heartbroken before he left home in the morning, suddenly seemed fine when he came home in the evening.
I even have the energy to cook dinner!
"Honey, you've made so much delicious food, what are we going to do with the food I brought back from the cafeteria?" Lu Anguo asked with a smile.
These days, this is how the two of them have been managing their meals.
They either get takeout from the cafeteria, or Lu Anguo cooks them some noodles and they just make do with whatever's available.
"It's okay, we can save the leftovers for later," Bai Xiuhui said, sounding particularly happy. She urged her husband to wash his hands and sit down. "Honey, I have some great news to tell you!"
Lu Anguo: "..."
He paused for a moment.
A joyous occasion?
At a time like this, what could possibly be considered a great joy by a wife?
Could it be that his wife also discovered something amiss with the cremated body, and that it might not be Zhengjun? But why did they discover it now? If they were going to discover it, they should have discovered it then!
Lu Anguo was unsure what his wife was going to say, so he could only wait and see, and remain calm in the face of any eventuality.
"What good news?" Lu Anguo asked, taking the bowl and chopsticks from him.
"Yueya is pregnant!" Bai Xiuhui exclaimed excitedly, and couldn't stop talking. "She came over this afternoon to tell me that she's pregnant, she really is!"
"And I was worried that Yueya wouldn't want the child, after all, Zhengjun has already..." Bai Xiuhui's face was still very sad as she said this, but she held back and continued, "Yueya is a good girl. If she remarries, I will support her from the bottom of my heart. It's just that I can't bear to part with Zhengjun's child. This is the only bloodline he left in this world!"
“But husband! Yueya said she doesn’t not want this child. She will give birth to the child properly and we will help take care of the child in the future. So I can’t be like before. I have to cheer up!” Bai Xiuhui said, her eyes regaining their vitality.
"That's wonderful!" Lu Anguo exclaimed excitedly. "Heaven has been kind to the Lu family! At least... at least Zhengjun was able to keep her child!"
Having experienced infertility due to previous injuries, the elderly couple were already mentally prepared for Lu Zhengjun's inability to have children.
So this was a completely unexpected surprise.
And it was a huge surprise.
"Thank God!" Lu Anguo said.
"Yes, thank God, God still favors our Zhengjun," Bai Xiuhui said, tears welling up in her eyes again, but she held them back.
She doesn't want to cry, which is a wonderful thing.
"Honey, we need to take good care of each other; we'll be raising the kids in the future!"
"Yes, Crescent Moon said we have to help her take care of the child!"
Lu Anguo was extremely gratified. Of course, he knew why Su Yueya said that. Taking care of the child was an excuse; her real intention was to help Bai Xiuhui cheer up!
This daughter-in-law is truly a perfect match.
"Wife, when you have time, go buy some supplements and send them to Yueya. Pregnancy is too hard for women, and Yueya is so thin, she needs to eat more supplements!" Lu Anguo reminded her. He was willing to send them himself, but it was more convenient for a woman, and Bai Xiuhui knew better what to send.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I know which month to supplement with what, I've been there!" Bai Xiuhui said.
