Chapter 228: The Second Young Master's Wife is Pregnant
Ji Yunshu looked at the pair of crimson rings on Zhao Shen's palms, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
She didn't expect that Zhao Shen would remember a casual remark she made and give her such a big surprise.
Although this pair of rings does not have the intricate and exquisite patterns on them that she gave to Zhao Shen, both the jade material and the workmanship are very good.
Zhao Shen put the smaller ring on Ji Yunshu's ring finger. It was just the right size.
He smiled and said, "It's just right. It seems that my eyesight is still pretty good."
Ji Yunshu also put the remaining ring on his hand and placed her hand side by side with his.
Both of her hands are fair and slender, with well-proportioned joints. The rings on her hands are brightly colored and extremely eye-catching.
Ji Yunshu said with satisfaction: "It looks really good."
Zhao Shen said: "As long as you like it."
Of course Ji Yunshu liked it. Modern people would exchange rings when they got married, but she and Zhao Shen didn't even have a normal ceremony.
Fortunately, Zhao Shen was really thoughtful. He made up for the regret in her heart in this way without her knowledge.
She showed her love with practical actions by climbing up Zhao Shen's neck and kissing him.
Zhao Shen could sense the change in her mood. Although Ji Yunshu was never shy about such matters, she rarely took the initiative either. He was naturally happy to see the beauty throwing herself into his arms.
Qin's funeral was held in such a peaceful atmosphere. Qin's eldest son Zhao Ke finally rushed back the day before Qin's burial.
He was originally studying abroad and was planning to take part in this year's Spring Examination, but his biological mother passed away suddenly, so he naturally had to observe mourning.
Ji Yunshu met Zhao Ke in the mourning hall. Zhao Ke knelt silently in front of the coffin and refused to leave no matter what others said.
In the end, the second uncle said that the burial would be tomorrow, and as a son, it was Zhao Ke's responsibility to keep vigil over the body all night.
In the end, Zhao Fu stayed with Zhao Ke all night.
These days, Zhao Fu seemed to have become sensible all of a sudden. No matter how her mother treated her when she was alive, death is like the extinguishing of a light, and her mother still gave birth to and raised her.
Therefore, she had no resentment in her heart, and she knelt in front of the coffin with her brother in a peaceful mood.
Who would have thought that when the night was quiet and everyone had left, Zhao Ke suddenly asked, "How did my mother die?"
His voice was eerie and suddenly rang in her ears, frightening Zhao Fu so much that she shuddered. She looked up and saw her brother staring at her. She lowered her eyes and asked, "Didn't father tell you?"
Zhao Ke narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Father wasn't around when Mother died, and you were the only one there. You should be the one who knows what happened, right?"
Zhao Fu sensitively heard Zhao Ke's suspicion and couldn't help asking, "Brother, are you suspicious of something?"
Zhao Ke said, "It's nothing. Mother wrote me a letter saying she was healthy and well and told me not to worry. But then, not long after, she passed away. Father only said she had an emergency, but I've never heard of such a serious emergency. And I asked the people in the mansion, and they didn't even call a doctor."
Zhao Fu's heart skipped a beat. She hesitated a bit about whether she should tell her brother what she knew, but she remembered that her father had told her that she should keep those things to herself forever and not tell anyone.
She subconsciously said, "I don't know what my brother is suspecting, but mother did die of an acute illness."
"I see."
Zhao Ke sighed and said nothing more.
Zhao Fu's heart was pounding wildly and she was on edge the whole night.
It wasn't until the next day when her mother was successfully buried and Zhao Ke seemed to be fine and didn't ask any more questions that she felt relieved.
After the funeral, my second uncle went back to work, leaving his two children at home to mourn.
With three years of mourning to observe, Zhao Fu's marriage was completely put on hold. She herself was not in a hurry and stayed quietly in her room, rarely coming out.
The same goes for Zhao Ke, but he is a man after all, so he goes out occasionally.
The mansion had become so quiet that the days passed quickly. When Ji Yunshu heard the news that Wei Yuanmin was pregnant, he was still a little dazed.
The weather was still very cold after the first month of the lunar year. Lu Ru still felt a chill when she came in from outside, but she couldn't wait to warm herself by the fire, so she went to Ji Yunshu and told her the explosive news she had just heard in the kitchen.
"What did you say?"
Ji Yunshu really didn't react.
Lu Ru said, "The Second Young Master's wife has had a poor appetite lately. She vomits everything she eats. She called a doctor today and he said she's pregnant. The kitchen is working hard to make something that the Second Young Master's wife can eat."
The mansion had been so peaceful these days that Ji Yunshu almost forgot about Zhao Heng.
She had a hunch that Wei Yuanmin's sudden pregnancy was not a good thing.
"What's Zhao Heng's reaction?"
Lu Ru curled her lips and said, "The Second Young Master has been very good to the Second Young Master's wife these days. When he heard the news that the Second Young Master's wife was pregnant, he was very happy. He not only rewarded the servants, but also asked them to serve the Second Young Master's wife well."
Ji Yunshu felt even more strange after hearing this: "What about Miss Yao?"
"That's it. Although the Second Young Master dotes on her, she doesn't even have a formal status. She's not a threat to the Second Young Master's wife. I think she has recognized her own status and is much more obedient than before."
After hearing this, Ji Yunshu was very sure that something was wrong.
Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan were too quiet.
If they could recognize their own identity and stop making trouble, they would not be themselves.
She stood up and said, "Let's go see the Second Young Master's wife."
After Wei Yuanmin got married, she had no conflicts with Ji Yunshu, and their relationship was apparently pretty good.
When he saw Ji Yunshu, Wei Yuanmin even felt a little proud.
Ji Yunshu married Zhao Shen a few months earlier than her, but her pregnancy was still not moving.
She is now pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Marquis's Mansion.
Although Zhao Heng still dotes on that bitch Yao Ruolan, he treats her much better now.
Her mother has promised that after this year's spring examination, regardless of whether Zhao Heng can make it to the list or not, she will find an official position for him.
Sooner or later, Zhao Heng will realize that she is the one who can bring him a better future.
Now that she is pregnant again, and they have children in the future, their love will naturally deepen.
Sooner or later she would find a way to get rid of that bitch Yao Ruolan.
"Trouble you, sister-in-law, to come and see me in person. Please take a seat."
No matter what he thought in his heart, Wei Yuanmin had indeed grown a lot now. He had shed his previous immaturity and acted more maturely and generously.
Ji Yunshu sat down on a chair not far from her and looked at her expression. Perhaps the reaction in the early stage of pregnancy was a bit too strong. She looked a little tired and thinner, but she was in good spirits.
It seems that Zhao Heng really put in a lot of effort to calm her down this time.
Even using a child to give her reassurance.
Ji Yunshu didn't believe that Zhao Heng suddenly fell in love with someone else and saw the good in Wei Yuanmin.
She started to congratulate him, saying, "I heard that my second sister-in-law is pregnant, so naturally as her sister-in-law I should come and see her, and share in her good fortune."
She took the initiative to show weakness, so Wei Yuanmin was embarrassed to show off anymore, so she said: "You are too polite, sister-in-law. You and the prince are both in good health. I think it won't be long before you get pregnant."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words."
