Time flew by and it was early July. Ye Yunniang was seven months pregnant, and her hands and feet were swollen badly.
The weather was hot, and Ye Yunniang felt extremely hot and bothered.
She wanted to eat something cold, but Cai Damei wouldn't let her.
Ye Yunniang would never get angry at her mother, but she was never kind to Jiang Mingzhe, who had gotten her pregnant.
Jiang Mingzhe didn't dare to appear in front of Ye Yunniang.
Upon seeing Jiang Mingzhe, Ye Yunniang lost her appetite and wanted to throw something at him.
After having dinner with Cai Damei and Cai Shuyi, Ye Yunniang, supported by Qiushuang, walked towards her own courtyard.
"Qiushuang, what has your master been busy with lately?" Ye Yunniang thought that she hadn't seen Jiang Mingzhe for seven or eight days.
"Reporting to Madam, Qiu Shuang doesn't know." Qiu Shuang's main task is to take care of Ye Yunniang, and she is unaware of Jiang Mingzhe's affairs.
"Go to the study." Ye Yunniang wanted to see Jiang Mingzhe.
Chen Xiang, who was guarding the door of the study, saw Ye Yunniang approaching from afar and went into the study to report.
Ye Yunniang walked to the study, where Jiang Mingzhe was already waiting for her at the door.
She wanted to go forward, but she was worried that Ye Yunniang would be unhappy.
Hesitant and indecisive.
Ye Yunniang stepped forward and took Jiang Mingzhe's hand.
Did I disturb you while you were working?
Jiang Mingzhe grasped Ye Yunniang's hand, "I'm so glad you could come, my wife."
Ye Yunniang was helped into the study by Jiang Mingzhe and sat down.
Did Yuanyuan cause you any trouble today?
"Yuanyuan was very well-behaved today, she didn't bother me." Ye Yunniang touched her belly. "What are you busy with?"
“Looking for a new shop. Pingping wrote to me, asking me not to stay idle at home all day. Find him a suitable restaurant; he wants to open a branch of Xiaoyanglou in the capital.”
"Xiaoyanglou has only been open for a few months, and it's already opening a branch?" Ye Yunniang was worried that the poor business of the Beijing branch would be a blow to Li Ping.
"I've done my research; there are quite a few people in Beijing who love lamb. Wen Nuan's cooking skills are good, so her business shouldn't be bad."
"Is Wen Nuan coming to Beijing?"
"She'll be here to oversee the new store for a while."
"Will Pingping and Pan'er come?" Ye Yunniang missed her two sons very much.
“Come on,” Jiang Mingzhe replied affirmatively.
Ye Yunniang suddenly couldn't hold back her tears and they started falling.
"Your son is here, why are you still crying?" Jiang Mingzhe took out a handkerchief to wipe Ye Yunniang's tears.
"I'm so happy." Ye Yunniang took Jiang Mingzhe's handkerchief to wipe her tears. "When are they coming? Are they on their way?"
"I received the letter and they've already set off. I estimate they'll arrive in about two weeks."
"Oh dear, we need to hurry up and tidy up their courtyard." Ye Yunniang said, getting up to tidy it up.
Jiang Mingzhe stopped Ye Yunniang, "I've already made the arrangements."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunniang punched Jiang Mingzhe lightly, "You already knew?"
"That's what I wanted to say. You seem unhappy the moment you see me. I,"
"Was I wrong?"
"I was wrong, my wife, please don't be angry with me, okay?" Jiang Mingzhe coaxed Ye Yunniang.
Jiang Mingzhe admitted his mistake, which made Ye Yunniang feel even worse.
Tears kept falling incessantly.
"I...don't want to...don't want to cry...I don't know why...I just can't control myself..."
Ye Yunniang tried hard to control herself from crying as she spoke, but it was no use; her tears just wouldn't listen to her.
Now, a single word or expression from someone else can cause Ye Yunniang to break down.
Ye Yunniang wanted to control it, but she couldn't.
The more I suppress my feelings, the more uncomfortable I feel, and the more wronged I feel.
I can't quite put my finger on what I'm feeling wronged about.
"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in," Jiang Mingzhe comforted Ye Yunniang.
Jiang Mingzhe privately inquired about Ye Yunniang's condition from Imperial Physician Gu and many other doctors specializing in obstetrics and gynecology.
Their analysis of Ye Yunniang's situation yielded the following conclusion.
Ye Yunniang's previous pregnancies were stressful, but this time, with her partner by her side to take care of her, her emotions were amplified and released.
This is good; it releases suppressed emotions.
Jiang Mingzhe asked Cai Damei about Ye Yunniang's experience when she was pregnant with Li Ping.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
No matter how much trouble Ye Yunniang caused, Jiang Mingzhe thought it was all good.
"Master, Madam, we have distinguished guests at the door." Chen Xiang interrupted the warm atmosphere inside the house from the doorway.
Ye Yunniang got out of Jiang Mingzhe's arms and wiped away her tears.
"Go and greet the guests."
Jiang Mingzhe went to the front yard.
After washing up, Ye Yunniang went to the front yard.
The newcomer exuded a feminine aura, which made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Wait for me at home," Jiang Mingzhe reassured him before leaving with the other person.
Watching them walk away, Ye Yunniang's heart pounded wildly.
The last time someone jumped like that was when Cai Damei had an accident.
Ye Yunniang wanted to chase after her, but Qiushuang stopped her.
"Madam, you are not well enough to go out."
"Qiushuang, go with her and take a look," Ye Yunniang instructed.
"Yes." Qiu Shuang went to chase after Jiang Mingzhe who had left.
Cai Damei came over. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, and I'm just feeling panicked." Ye Yunniang clutched her chest. "Just like when Mother left on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year."
At this point, Ye Yunniang realized that she hadn't yet asked Cai Damei about what happened on the first day of the lunar new year.
Ye Yunniang wanted to ask, but stopped herself when she saw the two scars on Cai Damei's neck.
"Want to know what happened on the first day of the lunar new year?" Cai Damei noticed Ye Yunniang's confusion.
"As long as Mom is well, that's enough." Many things don't necessarily require knowing the answer.
"I want to say..."
Cai Damei wanted to speak, but Ye Yunniang sat up straight and listened to her.
Early that morning, Cai Damei woke up and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Mingzhe was already cooking porridge in the kitchen.
"Mother, Yunniang wants to drink plain porridge and eat dried radish."
