Yu Tang felt that what the Second Madam said made sense. She said, "According to the date, the First Madam should have received the letter from the First Young Master and knew that the First Young Madam was pregnant, right?"

The Second Madam looked around and saw that there were no maids in the room, so she whispered to Yu Tang, "Didn't the First Madam always want to come to the capital? What if she takes advantage of this incident to come to the capital... I didn't say bad things about her behind her back. She is a very strict person, I'm afraid she will find fault with us, we'd better be more careful with the First Young Madam."

I don’t know when, the second wife also followed Yu Tang and started calling Pei Tong’s mother "the first wife".

"I'll listen to my second sister-in-law!" Yu Tang said immediately after hearing this, "After all, I don't understand the first wife as well as you do."

The second wife breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was afraid that you would think I was just scaremongering." Don't listen to her. Now that Yu Tang said that he would follow her lead in everything, she felt relieved, "Then let's quickly settle A Dan's marriage, otherwise she will come and make trouble and say unpleasant things, making the in-laws laugh at her."

After the engagement, the dowry will have to be decided, and then the wedding date will have to be discussed. There are many other things to do. If the eldest wife really uses this excuse to come to the capital, she will really be unable to avoid her.

Yu Tang said hurriedly, "Then let's quickly invite a stable mother-in-law to come home for the eldest young lady. If you see anything else that needs to be prepared in advance, we have prepared it all. Even if the eldest wife comes and wants to find fault, we will make sure she can't find any fault."

"Three heads are better than one." The second wife nodded repeatedly, "If we remind each other, the probability of making mistakes will definitely be lower than if we only do it alone."

Yu Tang thought it made sense.

The two called Qingyuan and Jin Ma Ma over and wrote a long list in Yu Tang's study. Afterwards, they asked Qingyuan and Jin Ma Ma to read it to the others to see if there was anything missing. Not to mention the mother-in-law, even the wet nurse was going to be sent to prepare one.

By the time Gu Xi found out, Grandma Wen had already been invited into the house.

Her nurse had lost weight because of this. She was so anxious that she kept pacing around in her room, even her words were a little incoherent: "My dear Miss, what do you think we should do? How about saying that you are not feeling well today and let her rest for two days. When my duty schedule is arranged, she will come to greet you."

Gu Xi was much calmer than her wet nurse and said, "No need! Since the two aunts have carried her so much and personally accompanied her here, it would be too disrespectful for them to say this. Don't worry, drink some tea, calm down, and come with me to greet the two aunts first."

Her wet nurse didn't have any better ideas. She had already complained a lot before, and nothing more she said would change the current situation. She simply made up her mind, packed up, and followed Gu Xi to greet Yu Tang and the Second Madam.

This old lady was introduced by Xu Xuan.

Now that she was a mother, her heart suddenly softened. She felt distressed whenever she heard that a child in another family lacked this or that. The midwife this time was the one who helped her give birth to the baby, and she was raised like this. The monthly allowance was ten taels of silver, and Xu Xuan also got two extra sets of clothes. After the child was born safely, no additional reward was given.

The second wife decided to hire someone according to the remuneration given by Xu Xuan.

The old lady was very respectful in front of Yu Tang and the Second Wife, but when she saw Gu Xi, she was so enthusiastic that not only Gu Xi but even Yu Tang felt a little overwhelmed.

It was the Second Wife who pulled the old woman aside and said something like "From now on, the eldest young lady in our house will be handed over to you", which made the old woman calm down. But even so, when the old woman said that she knew some simple medical knowledge, Gu Xi still couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

The second wife didn't notice and continued happily, "I've hired a cook for you. See if her cooking suits your taste. If you like it, stay. If not, change to someone else."

Gu Xi quickly calmed down and thanked the Second Madam with a smile.

The second wife waved her hands and said, "I saw that when Madam Yin was pregnant, her family took care of her in the same way. We should do the same." Then she asked her, "Has your mother-in-law replied to you? Does she have any plans?"

Gu Xi smiled and said, "We haven't received a reply from my mother-in-law yet. You and my third aunt have taken such good care of me. I am going to write an envelope to my mother-in-law later so that she won't worry."

She never wrote to the first wife at all.

Putting aside the question of whether the child can be saved or not, given her mother-in-law's partiality, if she came to the capital, the affairs of the Pei and Yang families would definitely become more complicated.

How great it is now! The Pei family has picked out the second and third elders of the Yang family for the sake of the marriage, thus ending the feud between the two families. The two of them no longer have to be stuck in the middle. What a great thing!

Let’s wait until this “child” is gone before we talk about it!

"Thank you for your hard work, my two aunts." Gu Xi personally poured a cup of tea for the second wife and Yu Tang.

Yu Tang always listened to the Second Madam in such situations and never made decisions without her approval. The Second Madam also felt that Yu Tang was still young and that she should take care of Yu Tang. She was willing to stand in front of Yu Tang in any matter. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, your mother-in-law. Although I have never taken care of a pregnant child, I can learn from others."

Gu Xi thanked her profusely and asked about the Fifth Miss's marriage: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, no." The second wife smiled, "Just take care of yourself. On the day, dress up beautifully and sit down to watch the fun."

Gu Xi responded with a smile and talked to the Second Madam for a long time before the Second Madam and Yu Tang got up and left.

At night, Yu Tang said to Pei Yan, "We have done everything we can think of. Tomorrow I am going to go over there with my second sister-in-law to deliver the bird's nest and ginseng that I asked someone to buy. There will be nothing else to do. I can start to help my second sister-in-law prepare for A Dan's engagement."

Pei Yan listened and thought for a while, then said, "Did I put Tianma in the bowl of black chicken soup I drank today?"

Yu Tang laughed in surprise: "You can even drink this?"

Because he and the second wife went out to buy some nourishing herbs for Gu Xi, Yu Tang also brought some home.

Pei Yan smiled and said, "Black Chicken and Gastrodia elata soup is for drinking in autumn and winter, right?"

Yu Tang blushed and said, "I was going to make you a Gastrodia elata duck soup, but somehow it got written as Gastrodia elata black chicken soup and sent it to the old woman on the stove. It was a mistake, I guess! I'll make you another soup tomorrow."

Pei Yan felt that Yu Tang had no talent for cooking. The soups at home were always the same. However, he was not a picky person, so the soup tasted good. There was nothing to complain about.

He said, "That's fine! We can also ask them to make some yam soup, which is also good to drink in the summer."

Yu Tang giggled and decided to leave this matter to Qing Yuan from now on. She only wrote menus for a few days, but she already felt like she didn't know what to eat.

The two of them were chatting softly about family matters and discussing whether they should move to the waterside pavilion for a few days as the weather was getting hotter. However, when they woke up early the next morning, they heard that Gu Xi had given birth.

Yu Tang sat on the edge of the bed, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

She didn't know whether Gu Xi was really having a miscarriage or it was just a setup.

But no matter what the reason, she felt very uncomfortable.

Pei Yan was still as cold as ever, and said, "You can go and take a look. If it's true, then it means she has no fate with our family. If it's false, I hope she is smart enough to prevent others from seeing it. Otherwise, she will really be a laughing stock in the capital."

Yu Tang knew that Pei Yan always left a margin for everything and liked to think of things in the worst possible way, so that he could be at ease at the critical moment.

She sighed sadly and went to visit Gu Xi with the second wife.

On a hot day, Gu Xi, wearing a forehead scarf and looking pale, was leaning against the head of the bed. Pei Tong was feeding her medicine personally, and her wet nurse was standing beside her with a small bowl of plum preserves, looking a little dazed.

"Second aunt, third aunt!" Pei Tong stood up and bowed to the second wife and Yu Tang, asking them to sit down.

"How did it become like this?" The second wife looked distressed, and felt it was difficult to explain to the first wife and the old lady, "Where is the old lady? Didn't she just come in? How could something like this happen? Before she came in, I took her birth date and horoscope to have it calculated, and there is no conflict between us!"

Gu Xi hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with her! I was taking a shower last night and didn't pay attention..." As he spoke, his eyes became wet.

The second wife could not bear to ask any more questions. She held her hand and gently persuaded her: "It's okay, it's okay. This is all an accident. You are still young and you will have another child soon."

Gu Xi shook his head and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have said it so early. I made the elders happy for nothing."

The second wife didn't respond.

She said that Gu Xi was too young and ignorant. Not only did the Second Madam, an elder, live under the same roof with her, but Pei Xuan also told the Second Madam to take good care of Gu Xi. She said that Gu Xi was wrong in this matter, but wasn't she doing this to force Pei Tong to stand on the side of the Pei family?

The second wife smiled bitterly.

Yu Tang had no choice but to say, "No one had expected this. Don't blame yourself too much. Get your body back in shape first." Then she asked Gu Xi's nurse, "Which doctor did you ask to see her? What prescription did he prescribe? Did he say anything to be careful about? How often should you change the medicine?"

"What?!" Gu Xi's nurse came back to her senses after a while, lowering her head and saying, "Because it happened suddenly, I found Doctor Xiong at the entrance of the alley, and it was he who wrote the prescription. I was in a hurry to get the medicine for the eldest young lady, so I didn't read the prescription carefully and directly handed it to the clerk in the pharmacy. He said that I should change the medicine every five days, and it would take more than half a month to recover."

Yu Tang thought it was better to be cautious about this matter, so he discussed with Pei Tong: "Should we ask a doctor to come and take a look? I'm afraid he's injured somewhere."

Pei Tong also had this idea.

But there are too many officials in the capital, and not every official will buy into Doctor Yu’s plan. He is even ready to ask Pei Xuan for help!

Before he could say anything, the second wife had already agreed for him: "I will have someone take your second uncle's name card to Pei Wu and ask him to help find a gynecologist who is good at gynecology. Pei Wu follows your third uncle around everywhere, he has vision and can get things done, it would be best if he came forward."

Pei Tong thanked him respectfully, but Gu Xi said, "Don't bother. Second uncle is the vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue and is in charge of the review of salt permits. I don't know how many people are watching him! Don't let my matter implicate Second uncle."
