Chapter 405 News (Part 2)

"Eleventh Lady!" Xu Lingyi was stunned. He didn't care about the dirt on the ground. He sat beside the bed and gently stroked her back to comfort her.

"Madam!" Amber was startled. Seeing Xu Lingyi taking care of Shiyi Niang, she hurried to pour a glass of warm water.

Shiyi Niang vomited out all the food she had eaten in the morning, and she felt better.

Xu Lingyi took the teacup from Amber and passed it to Shiyi Niang's mouth: "Come, rinse your mouth!"

A little maidservant quickly brought over a washbasin.

Eleventh Lady's face turned red.

How could this happen? It was as if he couldn't hold it in any longer.

She hesitantly thanked him, took the teacup and rinsed her mouth. She saw Amber leading the maid to clean up her mess and awkwardly called out "Master". She felt the pungent smell of the mess made her feel uncomfortable. She reluctantly said "You'd better stay away from it". She felt disgusted and actually fell on the side of the bed and vomited.

"Eleventh Lady!" Xu Lingyi was shocked and hurriedly ordered Humber: "Quick, go and pour a cup of hot tea!"

His voice was stern and cold, which made Amber's heart shudder. She responded hastily and hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea.

"Shiyi Niang!" Xu Lingyi called Shiyi Niang softly, and held the panting Shiyi Niang in his arms. He took a sip of the amber tea, and then passed it to Shiyi Niang's mouth, "Come, let's drink some hot tea. Drinking some hot tea will make you feel better."

The alluring Tieguanyin tea also lacks some of its fragrance than usual.

Eleventh Lady lay powerlessly in Xu Lingyi's arms. Unable to refuse his kindness, she took a sip and turned away.

"Be good," Xu Lingyi coaxed her softly, "Drink another sip!"

Eleventh Lady had no choice but to take two more sips.

The disgusting feeling just now seemed to resurface in my body.

She frowned and turned away again.

Xu Lingyi didn't dare to force her, so he handed the teacup to the nervous Amber and gently stroked her forehead: "Just bear with it. I've already gone to see a doctor."

Eleventh Lady nodded slightly, covered her mouth, and an expression of patience appeared on her face.

Xu Lingyi's face changed.

Eleventh Lady has always been repressed. She likes to make big things small and small things disappear, and doesn't bother others easily. Now she actually acts like this, she must be very upset and there is nothing she can do...

As the thought flashed through my mind, my heart suddenly ached.

"Eleventh Lady, Eleventh Lady," he stroked her back gently, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?" and then kissed her cheek.

The gentle movements, the warm embrace, and the caring tone made her brows gradually relax, but the strange smell lingering at the tip of her nose reminded her that there was her vomit beside her bed, and her brows furrowed again.

None of this escaped Xu Lingyi, who had been carefully observing her expression.

He thought for a moment and asked her softly, "Is it because the room smells bad?"

Eleventh Lady pursed her lips a little embarrassedly.

Xu Lingyi smiled and pinched her nose: "You are as cute as a twisted dough stick." Then he wrapped her in a quilt and carried her to the east end room, "Let them clean up, and we will sit over there for a while."

Eleventh Lady’s face was as red as the sunset.

Amber watched as she and a few maids trotted to the east room. When they arrived, the kang table in the middle of the large kang by the window in the east room had already been removed and covered with a royal blue quilt with five round flowers, a large ink-splashed pillow, and a bright red quilt with a phoenix facing the sun. Tea bowls and tea sets were placed on the kang table on the east side.

Xu Lingyi did not put Shiyi Niang on the kang, but carried her onto the kang.

Amber's eyes lit up and she quickly squatted down to help Xu Lingyi take off his shoes.

The east end room was originally a small study for Shiyi Niang, where she would occasionally come to read and do some accounting. Unlike the inner room and the banquet room, where there were always a few maids standing there to serve, the air was therefore fresher. Shiyi Niang took a deep breath and felt much better, more energetic. She then started to feel a little embarrassed.

"My Lord," she struggled a little, "I'll do it myself!"

Xu Lingyi ignored him: "Close your eyes and rest. The doctor will be here soon."

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said it, a strong sense of fatigue surged through her body. Xu Lingyi's embrace with its mellow breath made her feel particularly peaceful and quiet. Shiyi Niang couldn't help but let out a small sigh, still thinking about the lady in her heart: "I haven't gone to greet mother yet!"

Seeing that she was holding on, Xu Lingyi kissed her cheek lovingly: "Go to sleep! I'll talk to mom."

Upon hearing this, Eleventh Lady felt relieved, leaned in his arms, and soon fell asleep.

Xu Lingyi finally calmed down and thought about it. He was surprised and happy, and hoped that Doctor Liu would come soon. He also thought that the weather had been hot and cold these days, and they slept back to back at night. Maybe he was forgiven. He regretted it very much. Shiyi Niang was a dozen years younger than him. Although she behaved gracefully in front of outsiders, she was still a little girl. No one knew how coquettish she was in private better than him. But he had to be like her, and he was a few years older than her... And he was wrong that night. Shiyi Niang was shy. Not to mention taking the initiative to come over, she would blush with shame even if she hugged him tightly, not to mention that she was teased by him that day...

Thinking of this, he put his face close to Shiyi Niang's face.

The little guy must have been anxious and embarrassed at the time.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been gentler to her that day!

He put aside the embarrassment caused by the word "like" and didn't think about it at all. He just kissed Shiyi Niang's mane gently, as if this could make up for his frivolous behavior that day. In his heart, he secretly hoped that it was not a cold, and even the joy of expecting pregnancy was reduced a little.

Then he told Amber: "Madam is not feeling well and will not see anyone. Ask Madam Song to report to the Madam."

Amber was willing to do it, so she knelt down and said "yes", and immediately went to make arrangements. After returning to Xu Lingyi, another thought came to her mind, and she hurried to Zhu Xiang's place.

Eleventh Lady was drowsy and had no idea when Doctor Liu came or left. When she woke up, the lights were on in the room, and Xu Lingyi was reading on the octagonal table on the kang, leaning against a large pillow.

Feeling movement, he lowered his head: "Wake up!"

Maybe it was because of the lighting, but Shiyi Niang felt that Xu Lingyi's eyes were particularly gentle when he looked at her.

"Hmm!" She didn't expect that she would sleep for so long, and she sat up slowly. "What time is it now?"

Xu Lingyi took out his pocket watch: "It's the beginning of the tenth hour!"

"You slept for such a long time!" Eleventh Lady was very surprised.

Xu Lingyi smiled and ruffled her hair, then asked her gently, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything?"

Eleventh Lady has no appetite, but skipping meals will only make her health worse.

She thought for a moment and said, "I want to drink millet porridge."

Xu Lingyi called the maid.

Eleventh Lady felt lazy and didn't want to get up, so she leaned on the big pillow and talked to Xu Lingyi: "What did the doctor say?"

"You might be tired." Xu Lingyi's eyes flashed with something strange, "I'll come back in a few days to check your pulse."

"Did you prescribe a prescription?"

"It's been prescribed!" Xu Lingyi thought that she could read the prescription and knew that she knew something about pharmacology, so he smiled and said, "I asked the steward of the outer courtyard to help me get the medicine. I'll show it to you tomorrow!"

Shiyi Niang nodded and asked if the list of guests for the March 3rd banquet had been sent to Manager Zhao? She did not go to greet the Madam, so what did the Madam say? Are the children all right?

Xu Lingyi chatted with her about family matters, and after the maid brought her some millet porridge, he stood up and moved the kang table in front of her.

Eleventh Lady was not used to being served like this by Xu Lingyi, especially the millet porridge she ordered, as she didn't want to eat it after just two bites.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat." Xu Lingyi didn't take it seriously and asked the little maid to leave. "You've slept all day, so it's inevitable that you don't have much appetite. Eat when you want to eat!"

Shiyi Niang felt hungry again. She thought about how she used to eat only fruit at night to keep in shape, so she asked her maid to peel an apple for her, but she only ate half of it.

Amber came in with some water and helped her wash up.

"No need." Eleventh Lady smiled and tried to get off the bed, "Let's go to the clean room!"

Amber looked at Xu Lingyi for help.

Xu Lingyi immediately said, "Let them help you wash up here! You are not going out today, so there is no need to go through so much trouble."

Eleventh Lady still felt a little awkward. Xu Lingyi had already walked out through the curtain, and Amber had wrapped a white scarf around her shoulders. She could wash her face by lowering her head.

It seems like I have some serious illness!

Eleventh Lady looked at him and muttered to herself, then her expression froze and her heart began to pound.

Could it be that I have contracted some terminal disease?

Is that why Xu Lingyi didn't show her the recipe, and why Amber and the others were so cautious when serving her?

After finally suppressing the confusion in her heart, Shiyi Niang observed carefully.

Amber seemed to be afraid that her movements would be too big, and she kept watching her expression, and would do it for her as soon as she made a slight move. Once she sat there quietly without moving, their expressions relaxed.

Eleventh Lady didn't want to embarrass them, so she just sat there and let them arrange the clothes.

After she finished washing up, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the eldest lady heard that you were not feeling well, so she and the fourth and fifth young masters made two orchid sachets and sent them to you. She also said that she would come to greet you when you feel better!"

"Bring it in!" Eleventh Lady smiled and leaned lazily on the pillow.

Amber helped her put on the quilt neatly, and Luyun took the sachet from the maid and handed it over.

Shiyi Niang put her nose close to it and sniffed it. Her heart was churning, and she bent over and spit out the apple she had just eaten.

Amber, however, brought out a royal blue enamel basin with hundreds of birds and flowers from somewhere, and Shiyi Niang just happened to vomit into the basin. After Shiyi Niang finished vomiting, the little maid brought warm water to rinse her mouth, and Luyun gave her a honey-juiced green plum to suck on. Everything went on in an orderly manner.

Eleventh Lady looked at the smiling faces in the room, and in a flash she thought of the days that had not come yet... Her hand unconsciously rested on her abdomen.

"Amber!" She looked at Amber helplessly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"So, we have to wait until March to get definite news?" Aunt Du helped the lady take off her hairpin.

"But they didn't diagnose anything else." The lady's eyes and eyebrows were full of joyful smiles. "I called Mother Song to ask her. It's 80 to 90 percent that she is pregnant."

"Congratulations, Madam!" Mother Du smiled and bent her knees to salute the Madam.

The lady smiled and took her with her: "Don't say anything for now. The fourth son is still keeping it a secret!"

Mother Du was a little surprised.

The lady smiled and said, "That's just his nature. He won't say anything unless he's sure." After thinking for a moment, she said happily, "I'm afraid the imperial physician doesn't know as much as we do about this kind of thing!"

Mother Du burst into laughter.

The evening update is a bit late, please wait till tomorrow morning to read it!
