Judging from her reaction, Lu Ziqian knew she was pregnant.
He was both excited and somewhat incredulous at that moment, but overall he was happy.
Even he himself did not expect that he would long for her child so much.
Lu Ziqian grabbed Su Yujiao's slender wrist, his face beaming with excitement: "You're pregnant?"
Su Yujiao wanted to withdraw her hand. For some reason, ever since she saw what happened that night, she had started to feel physically uncomfortable with him.
Or perhaps it's not just him, but that she feels disgusted by every man.
"Mmm." She nodded, a happy smile on her lips.
Lu Ziqian excitedly hugged her tightly and couldn't help but kiss her fair face a few times.
"Great, great, great! This is truly double happiness, double happiness!"
"This child is the lucky star of our Lu family."
"With his arrival, my parents reconciled, and the Lu family gained a new member."
Zhou was overjoyed, and her two sisters-in-law were also happy for Su Yujiao.
My sister-in-law finally made it through. Even without a man's love, as long as she has a child, she can live a worry-free life.
"Sister-in-law, please eat more."
"Yes, yes, you're so thin, you should eat more."
Zhou and her two sisters-in-law kept piling food into her bowl, and Lu Ziqian even thoughtfully peeled shrimp and removed fish bones for her!
"Ah...something's wrong...something's wrong..."
In the courtyard, a piercing scream shattered the joyful atmosphere in the dining room.
When Bai Qingrou, the eldest sister-in-law, saw that it was her maid from her room, she suddenly stood up and asked, "What happened?"
The maid and the old woman were trembling with fear, pointing at the pond behind the artificial hill, too scared to speak.
Bai Qingrou swayed and rushed out.
Su Yujiao and the others followed closely behind. They saw two wet servants kneeling beside the pond, and a young child lying next to them.
"Zhou'er!!"
"Brother Zhou!!"
Bai Qingrou rushed over and found that the child was no longer breathing. She held the child and cried her heart out.
Zhou staggered and collapsed to the ground.
The two servants beside him trembled with fear and dared not utter a word.
Su Yujiao pushed through the crowd and snatched the child from Bai Shi's arms: "Let me try."
Bai Qingrou instinctively hugged the child tightly, only letting go after hearing Su Yujiao's words.
Su Yujiao found that the child's face was bruised and swollen, there was foam and mud in his mouth and nose, his limbs were cold, and he had lost consciousness.
Based on the above assessment, this situation is quite serious.
Su Yujiao immediately knelt down beside the child, pressed one hand on the child's forehead and lifted the child's chin with the other to open the airway and clear the mud and foreign objects from the child's mouth and nose.
Then quickly unbutton the child's clothes, keep the airway open, pinch the child's nostrils closed with your thumb and forefinger, and blow air in 2-5 times.
Immediately afterwards, she overlapped her wrists, interlaced her fingers, and with her arms hanging vertically, pressed down five centimeters using her body weight.
Perform 100-120 compressions per minute, followed by two artificial respirations after every 30 compressions.
The crowd stood by, unable to help and too afraid to approach and disturb them.
Su Yujiao kept repeating these movements, and soon she was covered in sweat, and her arms were so sore that she could no longer press them.
Lu Ziqian didn't know if her method would work, but seeing her covered in sweat and exhausted, he felt extremely distressed.
"How much longer do I need to press?"
"If he hasn't woken up after half an hour, you don't need to press anymore..."
"I'll do it, you can guide me from the side."
Su Yujiao nodded; she indeed had no strength left.
Lu Ziqian didn't need much instruction; he quickly got the hang of it, and his movements were standard and detailed.
After all, it only takes the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and the action isn't difficult.
Time passed slowly, and Bai and Zhou had already fainted from crying several times.
Just when everyone thought there was no hope, the child suddenly choked on a mouthful of water, and then coughed up several more mouthfuls.
Bai burst into tears, the breath she had been holding in finally released, and she collapsed to the ground.
Su Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the child wake up.
"Go get the blankets quickly."
Yes, yes, yes.
Bai held the child and cried uncontrollably, kissing the child's face repeatedly.
Zhou was overjoyed and wept, holding the child's little hand and rubbing it repeatedly while breathing on it to warm him up.
The child woke up and cried loudly in fright.
"The quilt has arrived."
"It's alright, you'll feel better after taking some herbal medicine to warm you up in a bit."
"The child is frightened, sister-in-law, please comfort him."
Once Bai Qingrou recovered, she knelt down with the child in her arms and kept kowtowing to Su Yujiao.
Su Yujiao quickly dodged away: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly, how can I accept your kneeling?"
"Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you today, Brother Zhou would probably... he would be useless."
"Waaaah... Thank you, sister-in-law..."
Bai Qingrou knelt on the ground and cried for a long time before being helped up by the crowd.
Zhou asked the maids and servants who were taking care of Zhou Ge'er, and learned that the two of them had been lazy and hadn't been watching him for a while, and the child had fallen into the water.
Zhou punished the two in public, and only after confirming it was an accident did the matter end.
Lu Ziqian kept his arm around Su Yujiao, letting her lean on him to rest.
"Let me help you back to your room to rest."
He moved very carefully, after all, she was carrying his child and had just been exhausted.
Finally, he simply picked her up and strode back to the bedroom.
Su Yujiao resisted in her heart, but she didn't have the strength to struggle.
Once they were in the room, she made an excuse to send him away, as she really didn't want to be in the same room with him.
Just then, Zhou's voice rang out from outside. Lu Ziqian said gently, "You go to sleep for a while. I'll be back to keep you company soon."
"Um."
"Jiaojiao is asleep?"
Lu Ziqian nodded, seemingly somewhat absent-minded: "Did Mother want to see me about something?"
“Starting tonight, you will sleep in a separate room from Jiaojiao.”
Why?
Lu Ziqian's first reaction was to resist and object. He had finally managed to bring his wife back, so why should they sleep in separate rooms?
"Jiaojiao is pregnant, you two can no longer have sex."
"I was afraid you wouldn't take this seriously... so I came here specifically to tell you."
Lu Ziqian awkwardly touched his nose. He really didn't know that women couldn't have sex when they were pregnant; he thought it was only because their bellies were big.
He had originally planned to spend some quality time with her before heading off to war.
Although she went back to his residence with him and became obedient and sensible, no longer making a fuss, he always felt that she seemed to have become much more distant from him.
She even said she wouldn't mind if he married Chen Yunniang as his concubine!
Only someone who truly doesn't care would not mind if he had other women.
However, she must be saying this out of anger. How could she not care about him?
"Okay, I understand. I'll move it to the study tonight."
Mrs. Zhou was still a little worried: "Son, you must treat Jiaojiao better in the future."
“You’re about to become a father, you can’t do whatever you want anymore.”
"Jiaojiao hasn't enjoyed a single day of happiness with you; instead, she's suffered a lot of grievances."
"If there's a next time, you won't have another chance."
