For the sake of her unborn baby, Du Shuting eats much more than before, and her figure also looks more fit than before.
Looking at Du Shuting's slightly bulging belly, Fu Xiuqi seemed to have developed a fatherly love. After finishing his official duties in the morning court these two days, he rushed to the courtyard.
Mother Fu told him this morning that she would invite Master Sikong to perform a ritual tomorrow, allegedly to pray for the baby in his daughter-in-law's belly.
Fu Xiuqi was naturally unhappy, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Therefore, he had to talk to Gu Yufei and ask her to cooperate with this scene. He felt a headache when he thought about this problem. He had married Gu Yufei because she was obedient, but now he found that she was not as well-behaved as before.
Seeing that Fu Xiuqi seemed to be lost in thought, Du Shuting made him a cup of tea. "Xiuqi, what do you think we should name our baby? If it's a boy, I want to call him Fu Jian. I hope he's strong and brave, unyielding to all difficulties and becoming a man of integrity. If it's a girl, I want to call her Fu Yi. I hope she's graceful, elegant, and well-educated..."
There was a motherly look in Du Shuting's eyes.
She said this while stroking her belly, with a look of happiness on her face.
Fu Xiuqi was moved by this. He had been unwilling to marry Gu Yufei and unwilling to accept Gu Yufei's public confession. Wasn't it all for his Ting'er? His Ting'er was so kind and well-behaved, and gentle as jade. She must be a good wife and a good mother. Their children must also combine their advantages, and be better than their parents.
"The child's name is up to you." Fu Xiuqi hugged Du Shuting and said gently.
"good…"
The two are very affectionate.
"Master, there are many people outside the courtyard. The eldest lady is here with the Master of Time and Space," Suifeng said hurriedly. He was standing on the rooftop, keeping watch, when he suddenly saw a large group of people approaching, carrying braziers, trumpets, and other things, and throwing rune paper along the way.
"What?!" Fu Xiuqi stood up quickly. Didn't his mother say she would come tomorrow? Why did she come now? He hadn't even had time to greet Gu Yufei.
"What's wrong? Xiuqi, why are you in such a hurry?" Du Shuting looked confused.
"Mother brought Master Sikong here and said that she wanted to give the medicine to the fetus in Gu Yufei's belly to pray for blessings. Ting'er, you hide here and don't come out. Qingci, take good care of the young lady." After Fu Xiuqi explained these, he went to the opposite door.
It’s Gu Yufei again, it’s Gu Yufei again.
Du Shuting felt very uncomfortable.
She was clearly pregnant, yet she was hiding here. Xiuqi's mother wanted to pray for her grandson. That grandson was in her belly and had nothing to do with Gu Yufei.
"Miss, Qingci is going to turn off the lights. Please sit here and don't move around. It's easy to fall in the dark." Qingci said as he blew out the candlestick on the table.
Du Shuting's room was pitch black, with bright light from outside shining in through the window.
She clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands, silently saying to herself: Don't worry about it, sooner or later she won't have to hide anymore and can appear outside openly. She is Fu Xiuqi's legal wife.
Qingci lay in front of the door, listening to the noise outside, just in case.
……………………
"Gu Yufei, get up quickly!" Fu Xiuqi banged on the door and shouted.
He was really anxious.
Did this woman rest so early?
Gu Yufei looked at the banging door and didn't want to open it.
The most important thing is that Duan Yu is in her room, and Duan Yu has already taken off his human skin.
“Knock, knock, knock, knock… knock, knock, knock, knock” The knocking on the door outside showed no sign of stopping, but became more urgent.
"Master Fu, I'm already resting. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"
"No, open the door right now. Mother is coming over. She has asked Master Sikong to perform a ritual for you."
“……………” What the hell, Gu Yufei thought to herself. In ancient times, people were really superstitious, performing rituals in the middle of the night.
"Remember, she is performing a ritual for the baby in your belly, so you must not reveal the secret." Fu Xiuqi said at the door when she saw Gu Yufei didn't open the door.
"I know, it's just a small matter. I'll change my clothes now." Gu Yufei said unhappily.
Duan Yu turned over and continued to rest.
