Ye Lanyin pricked up her ears and secretly listened to what the old lady was saying.
Lin Wanwan touched the silver note, somewhat puzzled.
One or two taels of silver?
The silver note still has one tael of silver left?
"I don't want it." One tael of silver is too little.
Lin Wanwan disdainfully stuffed the silver note back into the old lady's hand.
One or two ounces? That's too little.
Grandma went to buy candied hawthorns for herself, but Wanwan didn't want any.
Looking at her granddaughter's disgusted face, the old lady almost burst out laughing.
She then stuffed the silver note into Lin Wanwan's hand.
No, you want it.
“This was given to you by your grandmother. If you return it, she will be angry,” she said, feigning anger.
Seeing her expression, Lin Wanwan was afraid that the old lady would really be angry, so she reluctantly grabbed the silver note, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into her pocket.
"Okay, I'll take it." The little guy said helplessly.
Adults are so hard to coax.
You're getting angry over a mere tael of silver?
What a weirdo!
As Lin Wanwan continued stuffing her food, her gaze finally settled on Xie Shuning.
Xie Shuning's smile froze, and she took a step back, somewhat fearful.
There's nothing we can do; this kid is a bit too mysterious.
She was terrified when she recalled the scene of the fire.
"Mud...mud...mud..." Lin Wanwan pointed at her and said it three times in a row, but she didn't say anything more.
Xie Shuning asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Do you have a little sister in your belly?" Lin Wanwan asked with a grin, pointing at her stomach.
Xie Shuning was suddenly stunned.
Is she pregnant?
"Wanwan, how could that be? Your uncle hasn't come back yet. You can't talk nonsense."
[I'm not making this up; my aunt had her child around this time in my past life.]
[After Lin Shixuan was selected as the top scholar, he will be sent by the new emperor next month to arrest the Ye family.]
By this time, it must have been about two months, right?
Upon hearing Lin Wanwan's thoughts, the rest of the Ye family members all looked nervously at Xie Shuning.
The old lady couldn't help but ask:
"Shuning, when does your period start?"
Xie Shuning thought for a moment, then did some quick calculations with his fingers, "Mother, my wife hasn't come for two months."
Upon hearing this, the old lady excitedly gave instructions to the maid beside her.
"Go quickly and fetch a doctor."
He turned and helped Xie Shuning to a chair. "Quick, Shuning, sit down."
Seeing the old lady being so cautious, Xie Shuning nervously explained, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is not pregnant, there's no need for this."
"Please sit down, whether you're pregnant or not. You're tired of standing anyway. If the doctor comes and confirms that you're not pregnant, from this moment on, you'll only be in charge of the accounts at home. Xinghe will handle everything else."
"Xinghe, you don't have any objections, do you?"
Li Xinghe smiled and said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law has no objection. I'm not good at managing accounts anyway, so it's perfect that my sister-in-law is in charge now."
A short while later, the doctor came in hurriedly, carrying his medicine box.
"Madam, is someone sick?"
"Doctor, please check if my daughter-in-law is pregnant," the old man said excitedly.
She had long hoped that the first wife would have another child, but her son was stationed at the border year after year, leaving her helpless.
Now that Wanwan has told her, the old lady is extremely excited.
The doctor stepped forward with a smile and said to Xie Shuning, "Madam, let me take your pulse. Please extend your hand."
Xie Shuning felt embarrassed, but under the old lady's expectant gaze, she had no choice but to place her hands on the table.
The doctor took out a handkerchief, covered Xie Shuning's hand, and then began to take her pulse.
Ye Lanyin also had high hopes; she knew that her sister-in-law had always wanted to have a daughter.
If this baby is a girl, my sister-in-law will have someone else to confide in.
"Madam, you are indeed pregnant, you are already two months along."
The doctor withdrew his hand and smiled at Xie Shuning.
After hearing the doctor's words, the group was overjoyed.
Xie Shuning, in particular, covered her mouth excitedly, looking incredulous, "Doctor, are you telling the truth?"
"Madam, it is absolutely true."
General Ye then burst into laughter and waved his hand, "Someone, take the doctor to the storeroom to collect the reward money."
"Yes, sir."
Ye Lanyin happily reached out and pinched Lin Wanwan's cheek, "How did you know your aunt was pregnant?"
"Tell your mother quickly."
Lin Wanwan said with a grin, "I'm a kid, so I can see."
[Yeah, right, I read the storybook.]
But I can't tell you this, or you'll think I'm a monster.
My aunt's ordeal happened this April; I hope she can overcome this hurdle.
The old lady looked at Xie Shuning with a face full of sorrow, then at General Ye, her heart filled with unspeakable bitterness.
General Ye clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Ye Lanyin was afraid that Lin Wanwan would know that everyone had read her mind, so she quickly spoke up.
"Hey, sister-in-law, congratulations! You've finally gotten what you wanted."
Xie Shuning was still immersed in joy, smiling as she touched her belly.
"I never thought I would have a child. I will give birth to this child safely."
"Mother, please don't tell my husband yet, lest it disturb his mind. Let's wait until he returns."
The old lady, her eyes red-rimmed, nodded with her gaze lowered.
"Okay, okay, Mother won't say anything. You can tell him yourself when he comes back."
Lin Wanwan rummaged through her bosom, then took out a crumpled talisman and stuffed it into Xie Shuning's hand.
"Auntie, please keep the mud safe."
This is a talisman for protecting the fetus and ensuring the baby's safety.
